Quantum Market Intelligence (QMI)Quantum Market Intelligence (QMI) Indicator
The Quantum Market Intelligence (QMI) is a sophisticated multi-factor technical indicator that combines four key market analysis components into a single composite score. This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive market assessment tool that adapts to changing market conditions. The QMI score oscillates between -100 and +100, offering clear visual signals through color-coded plotting and an informative dashboard display.
The indicator analyzes markets through four distinct lenses: Trend Analysis (using EMAs and volatility-adjusted momentum), Momentum Analysis (combining RSI, Stochastic, and Williams %R), Volume Analysis (incorporating volume ratios and Accumulation/Distribution), and Volatility Analysis (utilizing ATR and Bollinger Bands). These components are intelligently weighted based on detected market regimes - whether trending, volatile, or range-bound. The adaptive mode feature continuously evaluates the indicator's recent performance and adjusts sensitivity accordingly, making it responsive to evolving market dynamics.
Traders can utilize the QMI's signal system which generates four types of alerts: Strong Buy (above 70 and rising), Buy (crossing above 30), Strong Sell (below -70 and falling), and Sell (crossing below -30). The visual presentation includes triangular markers for strong signals, circular markers for regular signals, and background shading that indicates the current market regime. The information table displays real-time metrics including the QMI score, individual component scores, detected market regime, and performance ratio, providing traders with a complete analytical dashboard for informed decision-making.

Trend Analizi
Mark specific candle (e.g. bar 20)This Pine Script indicator, "Mark specific candle (e.g. bar 20)" (short title "Mark candle"), is a simple yet powerful tool to visually highlight a particular candle on your chart.
What it does:
It marks a specific candle (e.g., the 20th, 10th, or any number you choose) counting backwards from the most recent candle on your chart. The marked candle will be colored in a subtle light grey and also feature a tiny, matching grey arrow pointing down from above it.
Why it's useful:
This indicator helps you quickly identify and track a consistent reference point in recent price action. It's great for strategies that depend on fixed look-back periods or for simply keeping an eye on a specific historical candle's position as new data comes in.
Key Features:
Adjustable Candle Number: Easily change which candle is marked (e.g., 20th, 10th, 5th) directly from the indicator settings using the "Candle Number to Mark (from end)" input.
Clear Visuals: Both the candle color and a small arrow provide a subtle, yet effective, visual cue.
How to use:
Simply add this script to your TradingView chart. Then, open the indicator's settings to set your desired candle number.
Heatmap Trailing Stop with Breakouts (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Heatmap Trailing Stop with Breakouts (Zeiierman) is a trend and breakout detection tool that combines dynamic trailing stop logic, Fibonacci-based levels, and a real-time market heatmap into a single, intuitive system.
This indicator is designed to help traders visualize pressure zones, manage stop placement, and identify breakout opportunities supported by contextual price–derived heat. Whether you're trailing trends, detecting reversals, or entering on explosive breakouts — this tool keeps you anchored in structure and sentiment.
It projects adaptive trailing stop levels and calculates Fibonacci extensions from swing-based extremes. These levels are then colored by a market heatmap engine that tracks price interaction intensity — showing where the market is "hot" and likely to respond.
On top of that, it includes breakout signals powered by HTF momentum conditions, trend direction, and heatmap validation — giving you signals only when the context is strong.
█ How It Works
⚪ Trailing Stop Engine
At its core, the script uses an ATR-based trailing stop with trend detection:
ATR Length – Defines volatility smoothing using EMA MA of true range.
Multiplier – Expands/retracts the trailing offset depending on market aggression.
Real-Time Extremum Tracking – Uses local highs/lows to define Fibonacci anchors.
⚪ Fibonacci Projection + Heatmap
With each trend shift, Fibonacci levels are projected from the new swing to the current trailing stop. These include:
Fib 61.8, 78.6, 88.6, and 100% (trailing stop) lines
Heatmap Coloring – Each level'slevel's color is determined by how frequently price has interacted with that level in the recent range (defined by ATR).
Strength Score (1–10) – The number of touches per level is normalized and averaged to create a heatmap ""score"" displayed as a colored bar on the chart.
⚪ Breakout Signal System
This engine detects high-confidence breakout signals using a higher timeframe candle structure:
Bullish Breakout – Strong bullish candle + momentum + trend confirmation + heatmap score threshold.
Bearish Breakout – Strong bearish candle + momentum + trend confirmation + heatmap score threshold.
Cooldown Logic – Prevents signals from clustering too frequently during volatile periods.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following & Trail Stops
Use the Trailing Stop line to manage positions or time entries in line with trend direction. Trailing stop flips are highlighted with dot markers.
⚪ Fibonacci Heat Zones
The projected Fibonacci levels serve as price magnets or support/resistance zones. Watch how price reacts at Fib 61.8/78.6/88.6 levels — especially when they're glowing with high heatmap scores (more glow = more historical touches = stronger significance).
⚪ Breakout Signals
Enable breakout signals when you want to trade breakouts only under strong context. Use the "Heatmap Strength Threshold" to require a minimum score (1–10).
█ Settings
Stop Distance ATR Length – ATR period for volatility smoothing
Stop Distance Multiplier – Adjusts the trailing stop'sstop's distance from price
Heatmap Range ATR Length – Defines how far back the heatmap scans for touches
Number of Heat Levels – Total levels used in the heatmap (more = finer resolution)
Minimum Touches per Level – Defines what counts as a ""hot"" level
Heatmap Strength Threshold – Minimum average heat score (1–10) required for breakouts
Timeframe – HTF source used to evaluate breakout momentum structure

Bias Bar Coloring + Multi-Timeframe Bias Table + AlertsMulti-Timeframe Bias Bar Coloring with Alerts & Table
This indicator provides a powerful, visual way to assess price action bias across multiple timeframes—Monthly, Weekly, and Daily—while also coloring each bar based on the current chart’s bias.
Features:
Persistent Bar Coloring: Bars are colored green for bullish bias (close above previous high), red for bearish bias (close below previous low), and persist the last color if neither condition is met. This makes trend shifts and momentum easy to spot at a glance.
Bias Change Alerts: Get notified instantly when the bias flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa, helping you stay on top of potential trade setups or risk management decisions.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: A table anchored in the top right corner displays the current bias for the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts, color-coded for quick reference. This gives you a clear view of higher timeframe context while trading any chart.
Consistent Logic: The same objective bias logic is used for all timeframes, ensuring clarity and reliability in your analysis.
How to Use:
Use the bar colors for instant visual feedback on trend and momentum shifts.
Watch the top-right table to align your trades with higher timeframe bias, improving your edge and filtering out lower-probability setups.
Set alerts to be notified of bias changes, so you never miss a potential opportunity.
This tool is ideal for traders who value multi-timeframe analysis, want clear visual cues for trend direction, and appreciate having actionable alerts and context at their fingertips.
Gap Open DetectorIndicator Note: Gap Open Detector
What This Indicator Does
This indicator helps you spot significant price gaps at the start of new candles compared to the previous candle’s close. A gap means the current candle’s opening price is noticeably higher or lower than the previous candle’s closing price.
Gap Up: The new candle opens above the previous candle’s close.
Gap Down: The new candle opens below the previous candle’s close.
The indicator highlights these gaps with colored candles:
Green Candle: Gap Up detected.
Red Candle: Gap Down detected.
How to Use the Indicator:
This indicator gives Best Results on Hourly Candles:
This indicator works best on hourly charts (1-hour time frame). It is especially useful for spotting gaps at the start of the next day or after a significant break in trading.
Wait for Confirmation:
After a gap is detected at the open, wait for the candle to form. Ideally, wait for one hour (until the hourly candle is complete) to confirm the candle’s direction and strength before taking any action.
Customize Gap Size:
You can set the minimum gap size using either points or percentage:
Points: Enter the minimum number of points for a gap to be considered significant.
Percentage: Enter the minimum percentage change for a gap to be considered significant.
This flexibility allows you to adjust the indicator to suit different markets and volatility levels.
Trading Logic
If there is a Gap Up and the one hour candle is green:
Buy Option: Consider initiating a buy (long) position.
If there is a Gap Up but the one hour candle is red:
Sell Option: Consider initiating a sell (short) position.
If there is a Gap Down and the one hour closing candle is red:
Sell Option: Consider initiating a sell (short) position.
If there is a Gap Down but the one hour candle is green:
Buy Option: Consider initiating a buy (long) position.
Important Tips
1. Patience Pays: Always wait for the hourly candle to close before making any trading decisions based on the gap.
2. Next Day Open: This strategy is especially effective for catching gaps at the start of a new trading day or after a market break.
3. Visual Cues: The indicator gives you a simple visual cue to spot potential trading opportunities.
4. Flexible Settings: Set your preferred gap size in points or percentage to match your trading style.
Volume Weighted Average Price Dynamic Slope [sgbpulse]VWAP Dynamic Slope: A Comprehensive Indicator for Trend Identification and Smart Trading
Introducing VWAP Dynamic Slope, an innovative TradingView indicator that harnesses the power of Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and enhances it with immediate visual feedback. The indicator colors the VWAP line based on its slope, allowing you to quickly and easily identify the direction and strength of the current trend for the asset, providing advanced tools for in-depth analysis.
What is VWAP and Why is it so Important?
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is an indicator that represents the average price at which an asset has traded, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. Unlike a simple moving average, VWAP gives greater weight to trades executed with high volume, making it a reliable measure of the asset's "true" or "fair" price within a given period. Many institutional traders use VWAP as a central reference point for evaluating the effectiveness of entries and exits. An asset trading above its VWAP is considered to have bullish momentum, and below it – bearish momentum.
How it Works: Dynamic VWAP Slope Analysis
VWAP Dynamic Slope analyzes the inclination of the VWAP line and displays it using an intuitive color scheme:
Positive Slope (Uptrend): When the VWAP points upwards, signaling positive momentum, the default color will be green.
Negative Slope (Downtrend): When the VWAP points downwards, signaling negative momentum, the default color will be orange.
Trend Change (CHG): When a change in the VWAP's trend direction occurs, a "CHG" label will be displayed. The label's color will be green if the change is to an uptrend, and orange if the change is to a downtrend.
Identifying Steep Slopes for Increased Momentum:
The indicator's uniqueness lies in its ability to identify "steep" slopes – rapid and particularly strong changes in the VWAP's direction. This indicates exceptionally strong momentum:
Steep Positive Slope: The VWAP color will change to dark green, indicating significant buying pressure.
Steep Negative Slope: The VWAP color will change to dark red, indicating significant selling pressure.
Dynamic Momentum Strength Label: In situations of steep slope (positive or negative), a dynamic label will be displayed with the change value of the VWAP at that point. This label allows you to monitor momentum strength, intensification, or weakening in real-time.
Advanced Analytical Tools for Complete Control
VWAP Dynamic Slope provides you with unprecedented flexibility through a variety of customizable tools:
Multiple VWAP Anchors and Visual Marking:
Common Time Anchors: Choose whether the VWAP resets at the beginning of each Session (daily), Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, or Century.
Advanced Intraday Anchors: Within the Session, you can choose to calculate VWAP specifically for Pre-Market, Regular Hours, and Post-Market hours. This option is particularly crucial for intraday traders.
Important Event Anchors: The indicator allows for VWAP resets at significant milestones such as Earnings, Dividends, and Splits, for analyzing the market's immediate reaction.
Visual Anchor Marking: To enhance clarity and orientation, a Label ⚓ can be displayed at each selected anchor point, helping to immediately identify the start point of the VWAP calculation in the chosen context.
Customizable Bands (Up to Three on Each Side):
Add up to three Bands above and below the VWAP to identify areas of deviation and excursion from the average price. You have two calculation options:
Standard Deviation: Based on volatility and statistical distance from the VWAP.
Percentage: Defines fixed percentage-based bands from the VWAP.
Key Pre-Market Levels (Pre-Market High/Low):
Display the Pre-Market High and Low levels as separate lines on the chart. These lines often serve as important psychological support and resistance zones, allowing you to see how the VWAP behaves near them.
Full Customization and Precise Control:
VWAP Source Selection: Determine which price data type will be used for the VWAP calculation. The default is HLC3 (average of High, Low, and Close), but any other relevant data source available in TradingView can be selected.
Offset: Set an offset for the VWAP line, allowing you to shift it left or right on the time axis by a chosen number of bars.
Customizable Colors: Choose your preferred colors for each slope state, Pre-Market High/Low lines, and Bands.
Setting the "Steepness" Threshold (Per-mille Price Change Per Minute ‱/min with Auto-Adjustment): Determine the sensitivity for identifying a steep slope by setting the required change threshold in VWAP in terms of per-mille price change per minute (‱/min). The indicator performs smart adjustment for any timeframe you select on the chart (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.), ensuring that the "steepness" setting maintains consistency and relevance.
Examples for Setting the Steepness Threshold:
Suppose you set the steepness threshold to 0.3‱/min (per-mille price change per minute).
On a 30-second chart: The indicator will check if the VWAP changed by 0.15 ‱/min (half of the per-minute threshold) within a single bar. If so, the slope will be considered steep. Explanation: Since 30 seconds is half a minute, the indicator looks for a change that is half of the threshold set for a full minute.
On a 1-minute chart: The indicator will check if the VWAP changed by 0.3 ‱/min (the full per-minute threshold) within a single bar. If so, the slope will be considered steep. Explanation: Here, the bar represents a full minute, so we check the full threshold.
On a 5-minute chart: The indicator will check if the VWAP changed by 1.5 ‱/min (5 times the per-minute threshold) within a single bar. If so, the slope will be considered steep. Explanation: A 5-minute bar contains 5 minutes, so the cumulative change in VWAP needs to be 5 times greater to be considered "steep" on the same scale.
In summary, this setting allows you to precisely and uniformly control the sensitivity of steep slope detection across all timeframes, providing immense flexibility in analyzing the asset's momentum.
Advantages of Using Per-mille Price Change Per Minute (‱/min)
Using per-mille price change per minute (‱/min) offers several key advantages for your indicator:
Normalized and Objective Measurement: It provides a uniform scale for the VWAP's rate of change, regardless of the asset's price or nominal value. A 0.1 per-mille change per minute always carries the same relative significance.
Comparison Across Different Asset Prices: Using per-mille allows for direct comparison of VWAP movement strength between assets trading at very different prices (e.g., a $100 asset versus a $1 asset), enabling an understanding of true momentum without bias from the nominal price.
Smart Timeframe Agnostic Adjustment: This is a critical capability. The indicator automatically adjusts the per-mille per minute threshold you set to any chart timeframe (30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.), maintaining consistency in "steepness" detection without manual recalibration.
Precise Momentum Identification: This measurement precisely identifies when the VWAP's rate of change becomes significant, and when momentum strengthens or weakens, contributing to more informed trading decisions.
In short, per-mille change per minute (‱/min) provides accuracy, consistency, and flexibility in identifying VWAP momentum changes, with smart adaptation across all timeframes.
Who is this Indicator For?
VWAP Dynamic Slope is a powerful tool for:
Intraday Traders: For quick identification of intraday trend directions and momentum across any timeframe, with specific consideration for Pre-Market, Regular Hours, or Post-Market VWAP, and incorporating key pre-market levels.
Swing Traders and Long-Term Investors: For analyzing longer-term trends based on periodic and event-driven VWAP anchors.
Beginner Traders: As an excellent visual aid for understanding the relationship between price, volume, and trend direction, and how different anchor points, pre-market levels, and data sources influence price behavior.
Experienced Traders: For integration with existing strategies, gaining additional confirmation for trend strength identification, and highly precise and flexible parameter calibration.
VWAP Dynamic Slope provides a rich, multi-dimensional layer of information about the VWAP, helping you make more informed trading decisions in real-time, within the context of your chosen asset.

QuantraSystems guarantees that the information created and published within this document and on the TradingView platform is fully compliant with applicable regulations, does not constitute investment advice, and is not exclusively intended for qualified investors.
Important Note!
The system equity curve presented here has been generated as part of the process of testing and verifying the methodology behind this script.
Crucially, it was developed after the system was conceptualized, designed, and created, which helps to mitigate the risk of overfitting to historical data. In other words, the system was built for robustness, not for simply optimizing past performance.
This ensures that the system is less likely to degrade in performance over time, compared to hyper-optimized systems that are tailored to past data. No tweaks or optimizations were made to this system post-backtest.
Even More Important Note!!
The nature of markets is that they change quickly and unpredictably. Past performance does not guarantee future results - this is a fundamental rule in trading and investing.
While this system is designed with broad, flexible conditions to adapt quickly to a range of market environments, it is essential to understand that no assumptions should be made about future returns based on historical data. Markets are inherently uncertain, and this system - like all trading systems - cannot predict future outcomes.
INTRODUCTION TO THE STAR FRAMEWORK
The STAR Framework – an abbreviation for Strategic Trading with Adaptive Risk - is a bespoke portfolio-level infrastructure for dynamic, multi-asset crypto trading systems. It combines systematic position management, adaptive sizing, and “intra-system” diversification, all built on a rigorous foundation of Risk-based position sizing .
At its core, STAR is designed to facilitate:
Adaptive position sizing based on user-defined maximum portfolio risk
Capital allocation across multiple assets with dynamic weight adjustment
Execution-aware trading with robust fee and slippage adjustment
Realistic equity curve logic based on a compounding realized PnL and additive unrealized PnL
The STAR Framework is intended for use as both a standalone portfolio system or preferred as a modular component within a broader trading “global portfolio” - delivering a balance of robustness and scalability across strategy types, timeframes, and market regimes.
RISK ALLOCATION VIA "R" CALCULATIONS
The foundational concept behind STAR is the use of the R unit - a dynamic representation of risk per trade. R is defined by the distance between a trade's entry and its stoploss, making it an intuitive and universally adaptive sizing unit across any token, timeframe, or market.
Example: Suppose the entry price is $100, and the stoploss is $95. A $5 move against the position represents a 1R loss. A 15% price increase to $115 would equal a +3R gain.
This makes R-based systems highly flexible: the user defines the percentage of capital that is put at risk per R and all positions are scaled accordingly - whether the token is volatile, illiquid, or slow-moving.
R is an advantageous method for determine position sizing - instead of being tied to complex value at risk mechanisms with having layered exit criteria, or continuous volatility-based sizing criteria that need to be adjusted while in an open trade, R allows for very straightforward sizing, invalidation and especially risk control – which is the most fundamental.
REALIZED BALANCE, FEES & SLIPPAGE ACCOUNTING
All position sizing, risk metrics, and the base equity curve within STAR are calculated based on realized balance only .
This means:
No sizing adjustments are made based on unrealized profit and loss ✅
No active positions are included in the system's realized equity until fully closed ✅
Every trade is sized precisely according to current locked-in realized portfolio balance ✅
This creates the safest risk profile - especially when multiple trades are open. Unrealized gains are not used to inflate sizing, ensuring margin safety across all assets.
All calculations also incorporate slippage and fees, based on user-defined estimates – which can and should be based upon user-collected data - and updated frequently forwards in time. These are not cosmetic, or simply applied to the final equity curve - they are fully integrated into the dynamic position sizing and equity performance , ensuring:
Stoploss hits result in exactly a −1R loss, even after slippage and fees ✅
Winners are discounted based on realistic execution costs ✅
No trade is oversized due to unaccounted execution costs ✅
Example - Slippage in R Units:
Let R be defined as the distance from entry to stoploss.
Suppose that distance is $1, and the trade is closed at a win of +$2.
If execution slippage leads to a 50 cent worse entry and a 50 cent worse exit, you’ve lost $1 extra - which is an additional 1R in execution slippage. This makes the effective return 1.0R instead of the intended 2.0R.
This is equivalent to a slippage value of 50%.
Thus, slippage in STAR is tracked and modelled on an R-adjusted basis , enabling more accurate long-term performance modelling.
MULTI-ASSET, LONG/SHORT SUPPORT
STAR supports concurrent long and short positions across multiple tokens. This can sometimes result in partially hedged exposure - for example, being long one asset and short another.
This structure has key benefits:
Diversifies idiosyncratic risk by distributing exposure across multiple tokens
Allows simultaneous exploitation of relative strength and weakness
Reduces portfolio volatility via natural hedging during reduced trending periods
Even in a highly correlated market like crypto, short-term momentum behaviour often varies between tokens - making diversified, multi-directional exposure a strategic advantage .
EQUITY CURVE
The STAR framework only updates the underlying realized equity when a position is closed, and the trade outcome is known. This approach ensures:
True representation of actual capital available for trading
No exposure distortion due to unrealized gains
Risk remains tightly linked to realized results
This trade-to-trade basis for realized equity modelling eliminates the common pitfall of overallocation based on unrealized profits.
The visual equity curve represents an accurate visualization of the Total Equity however, which is equivalent to what would be the realized equity if all trades were closed on the prior bar close.
TIMEFRAME CONSIDERATIONS
Lower timeframes typically yield better performance for STAR due to:
Greater data density per day - more observations = better statistical inference
Faster compounding - more trades per week = faster capital rotation
However, lower timeframes also suffer from increased slippage and fees. STAR's execution-aware structure helps mitigate this, but users must still choose timeframes appropriate to their liquidity, costs, and operational availability.
INPUT OPTIONS
Fees (direct trading costs - the percentage of capital removed from the initial position size)
Slippage (execution delay, as a percentage. In practice, the fill price is often worse than the signal price. This directly affects R and hence position sizing)
Risk % ( Please note : this is the risk level if every position is opened at once. 5% risk for 5 assets is 1% risk per position)
System Start date
Float Precision value of displayed numbers
Table visualization - positioning and table sizes
Adjustable color options
VISUAL SIMPLICITY
To avoid usual unnecessary complexity and empower fast at-a-glance action taking, as well as enable mobile compatibility, only the most relevant information is presented.
This includes all information required to open positions in one table.
As well as a quick and straightforward overview for the system stats
Lastly, there is an optional table that can be enabled
displaying more detailed information if desired:
USAGE GUIDELINES
To use STAR effectively:
Input your average slippage and fees %
Input your maximum portfolio risk % (this controls overall leverage and is equivalent to the maximum loss that the allocation to STAR would bring if ALL positions are allocated AND hit their stop loss at the same time)
Wait for signal alerts with entry, stop, and size details
STAR will dynamically calculate sizing, risk exposure, and portfolio allocation on your behalf. Position multipliers, stop placement, and asset-specific risk are all embedded in the system logic.
Note: Leverage must be manually set to ISOLATED on your exchange platform to prevent unwanted position linking.
ABOUT THE BEAR MARKET DEFENDER STRATEGY
The first strategy to launch on the STAR Framework is the BEAR MARKET DEFENDER (BMD) - a fast-acting, trend following system based upon the Trend Titan NEUTRONSTAR. For the details of the logic behind NEUTRONSTAR, please refer to the methodology and trend aggregation section of the following indicator:
The BMD ’s short side exit calculation methodology is slightly improved compared to NEUTRONSTAR, to capture downtrends more consistently and also cut positions faster – which is crucial when considering general jump risk in the Crypto space.
Accordingly, the only focus of the BMD is to capture trends to the short side, providing the benefit of being in a spectrum from no correlation to being negatively correlated in risk and return behavior to classical Crypto long exposure.
More precisely, Crypto behavior showcases that when Bitcoin is in a ranging/mean reverting environment, most tokens that don’t fall into the “Blue-Chip” category tend to find themselves in a trend towards 0.
Typically during this period most Crypto portfolios suffer heavily due to a “Crypto-long” biased exposure.
The Bear Market Defender thrives in these chaotic, high volatility markets where most coins trend towards zero while the traditional Crypto long exposure is either flat or in a drawdown, therefore the BMD adds a source of uncorrelated risk and returns to hedge typical long exposure and bolster portfolio volatility.
Because of the BMD's short-only exposure, it will often suffer small losses during strong uptrends. During these periods, long exposure performs the best and the goal is to outperform the temporary underperformance in the BMD .
To take advantage of the abovementioned behavior of most tokens trending to zero, assets traded in the BMD are systematically updated on a quarterly basis with available liquidity being an important consideration for the tokens to be eligible for selection.
FINAL SUMMARY
The STAR Framework represents a new generation of portfolio grade trading infrastructure, built around disciplined execution, realized equity, and adaptive position sizing. It is designed to support any number of future methodologies - beginning with BMD .
The Bear Market Defender is here to hedge out commonly long biased portfolio allocations in the Crypto market, specializing in bringing uncorrelated returns during periods of sideways price action on Bitcoin, or whole-market downturns.
Together, STAR + BMD deliver a scalable, volatility tuned system that prioritizes capital preservation, signal accuracy, and adaptive risk allocation. Whether deployed standalone or within a broader portfolio, this framework is engineered for high performance, longevity, and adaptability in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
Timeframe LoopThe Timeframe Loop publication aims to visualize intrabar price progression in a new, different way.
🔶 CONCEPTS and USAGE
I got inspiration from the Pressure/Volume loop, which is used in Mechanical Ventilation with Critical Care patients to visualize pressure/volume evolution during inhalation/exhalation.
The main idea is that intrabar prices are visualized by a loop, going to the right during the first half and returning to the left towards its closing point. Here, the main chart timeframe (CTF) is 4 hours, and we see the movements of eight 30-minute lower timeframe (LTF) periods, highlighted by four yellow dots/lines (first 2 hours -> "Right") and four blue dots/lines (last 2 hours <- "Left"):
🔹 BTF
If "Show Lowest TF" is enabled, the LTF is split into another lower TF (BTF - "Base TF"); in this case, the 30-minute LTF is split into 10 parts of 3 minutes (BTF):
Enabling "Loop Lowest TF" will enable the BTF to react similarly to the largest loop; from halfway, it will return to its startpoint:
Here is a more detailed example:
🔹 Mini-Candles
The included option "Mini-Candles" will bring even more detail, showing the LTF as Japanese candlesticks with user-defined colors and adjustable body width; in this example, the mini-candles associated with the first half (yellow lines/dots) are green/red, while blue/fuchsia in the second half (blue lines/dots):
CTF 10 minutes, LTF 1 minute, BTF 5 seconds
One can see the detailed intrabar price progression in one glance.
CTF 5 minutes, LTF 1 minute, BTF 5 seconds
If the LTF/BTF ratio, divided by two, results in a non-integer number, the right side will be a vertical line instead of just a turning point. In that case, the smaller, most right blue loop will be situated at the right of that line.
10 minutes / 1 minute = 10 -> 10 / 2 = 5 parts
5 minutes / 1 minute = 5 -> 5 / 2 = 2.5 parts
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Timeframes
Lower Timeframe 1
Lower Timeframe 2
No need to worry about the order of both timeframes; BTF will be the lowest TF of the 2, LTF the highest; both have to be lower than the main chart TF (CTF); otherwise, it will result in the error: "`Lower Timeframes` should be lower than current chart timeframe".
The ratio LTF / BTF should be equal or higher than 2; otherwise, this error will show: "`Lower Timeframe` should minimally be twice the `Base (smallest) Timeframe`"
Lastly, the ratio CTF / BTF should be lower than 500; otherwise, this error will pop up: "`Current Chart timeframe` / `Lower Timeframe` should be less than 500."
I have tried to capture runtime errors as best I could. If one should be triggered (red exclamation mark next to the title), it is best to increase the lowest TF.
🔹 Options
Show Lowest TF: Show BTF progression.
Loop Lowest TF: Enabling will let the BTF line return halfway.
Show Mini-Candles
Show Steps
"Show Steps" can be useful to see how the script works, where the location of the current price is compared against the position of the left (L) and right (R) labels:
🔹 Style
MM + MACD [RSI Filter]MM + MACD Trend Follower with RSI Filter
Pedro Canto - Portfolio Manager | CGA/CGE
OVERVIEW
The MM + MACD Trend Follower with RSI Filter is a multi-layered trend-following indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability trend continuation setups while avoiding low-quality entries caused by overbought or oversold market conditions.
This tool combines the power of Moving Averages (MA), the MACD Histogram, and a visual RSI-based filter to validate both trend direction and timing for entries. Its goal is simple: filter out noise and highlight only the most technically relevant buy and sell signals based on objective momentum and trend criteria.
USE CASES
- Identifying trend continuation setups
- Filtering false signals during consolidation phases
- Avoiding trades in overbought or oversold zones
- Enhancing entry timing for both swing and intraday strategies
- Providing visual confirmation of trend strength and momentum alignment
KEY FEATURES
1. Dual Moving Average Setup
The indicator allows full customization of two moving averages (MA1 and MA2), supporting both EMA and SMA types. The slope of the longer MA (MA2) acts as an essential trend filter, ensuring signals are only generated when the market shows clear directional bias.
2. MACD Histogram Trend Confirmation
A classic MACD Histogram calculation is used to validate the momentum of the prevailing trend.
- Bullish Trend: Histogram > 0
- Bearish Trend: Histogram < 0
This step filters out counter-trend signals and ensures trades are aligned with momentum.
3. Intrabar Price Trigger
Unlike standard crossover systems, this indicator waits for intrabar price action to trigger entries:
- Buy Signal: Price crosses below one of the MAs during an uptrend (dip-buy logic)
- Sell Signal: Price crosses above one of the MAs during a downtrend (rally-sell logic)

Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS [sgbpulse]Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS
Overview: Smart & Fast Market Structure Analysis
The Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " indicator is designed to empower your technical analysis by automatically and precisely identifying significant support and resistance levels. It achieves this by pinpointing high and low Pivot Points, plus key Pre-Market High/Low levels.
Its unique strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and any asset you choose. This tool analyzes the relevant market structure for the current timeframe and asset, providing you with accurate and relevant levels in real-time. The indicator maintains a clean chart and swiftly displays all support, resistance, and Pre-Market levels for any asset, saving valuable analysis time and enabling you to get a clear and quick snapshot of the market.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator identifies and displays three critical types of key levels:
External Pivots: These are more significant pivot points, indicating important reversal points across a broader range of price movement, considering the current timeframe. The indicator draws dark green support lines (for low pivots) and dark red resistance lines (for high pivots) from these points.
Internal Pivots: These are shorter-term pivot points, signifying smaller corrections or reversals within the overall structure of the current timeframe. These lines provide additional areas of interest within the ranges of the External Pivots.
Pre-Market High/Low Levels: The indicator displays the High and Low reached during pre-market hours as distinct lines on the chart. Please note: These levels will only appear when the selected timeframe is lower than one day (e.g., 1-hour, 15-minute) and provided that the "Session extended trading hours" option is enabled in your TradingView chart settings. These levels are crucial for identifying potential opening ranges and critical support/resistance areas upon regular market open, especially for intraday trading.
Break of Structure (BoS) Identification
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to identify Break of Structure (BoS). When a support or resistance line is breached, the indicator changes the line's color to gray and displays a "Break of Structure" label, indicating a potential trend change or continuation:
External BoS: When an external support/resistance line is broken, a "BoS" label in red will appear. This is a strong signal for a potential shift in the primary market structure or a strong trend continuation.
Internal BoS: When an internal support/resistance line is broken, an "iBoS" label in green will appear. This indicates a break within the existing market structure, which can be used to confirm direction or identify shorter-term entry/exit opportunities.
Full Indicator Customization
The indicator provides maximum flexibility to suit any trading style and timeframe:
Number of Lines Displayed: You can choose how many support and resistance lines you want to see on your chart. The default is 15 lines, but you can increase or decrease this number according to your needs and desired level of detail.
External Pivot Settings: Define the number of bars before and after a pivot point required for External Pivot identification.
Internal Pivot Settings: Define the number of bars before and after a pivot point required for Internal Pivot identification.
Color Customization: Full control over colors! You can change the colors of the support and resistance lines, the colors of the Pre-Market levels, and also the colors of the BoS and iBoS labels to create a visual appearance that perfectly matches your personal preferences.
This flexibility allows you to adapt the indicator to your trading style and any timeframe you operate in, without needing to manually change settings each time.
Recommended Uses
Clean Chart & Quick Analysis: The indicator displays important levels clearly, enabling quick identification of areas of interest without visual clutter on the chart. This significantly saves analysis time and allows you to make faster decisions.
Critical Levels for Any Timeframe & Asset: Get precise and adaptive support and resistance, plus essential Pre-Market levels (in relevant timeframes), for any timeframe and on any asset you choose.
Trend Direction Identification: Clear support and resistance lines help understand market structure.
Breakout Confirmation: The BoS label provides visual confirmation of key level breaches, helping to confirm potential trend changes.
Locating Entry & Exit Points: Use these levels as potential areas of interest for trades, after confirming a breakout or reversal.
Finding Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Points: Strategically place protective stops and profit targets around these support and resistance levels.
Important Note
Like any technical indicator, Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " is a supplementary tool. It's highly recommended to use it in conjunction with additional analysis methods (such as price action analysis, other indicators, and fundamental analysis) for informed trading decisions. Financial markets are dynamic, and trading always carries inherent risk.
Percent Change of Range Candles - FullPercent Change of Range Candles – Full (PCR Full)
Description:
PCR Full is a custom momentum indicator that measures the percentage price change relative to a defined range, offering traders a unique way to evaluate strength, direction, and potential reversals in price movement.
How it works:
The main value (PCR) is calculated by comparing the price change over a selected number of candles (length) to the range between the highest high and lowest low in the same period.
This percentage change is normalized and visualized with dynamic candles on the subgraph.
Reference levels at +100, +50, 0, -50, and -100 serve as key zones to indicate potential overbought/oversold conditions, continuation, or neutrality.
How to read the indicator:
1. Trend continuation:
When PCR breaks above +50 and holds, it often confirms a strong bullish move.
Similarly, values below -50 and staying low signal a bearish continuation.
2. Wick behavior (volatility insight):
Long wicks on PCR candles suggest uncertainty or failed breakout attempts.
Short or no wicks with strong body color show stable momentum and conviction.
On the chart, multiple long wicks near -50 suggest bulls are attempting to push price upward, but lack the strength — until a confirmed breakout.
3. Polarity transition (Bearish to Bullish or vice versa):
A transition from negative PCR values to above zero shows that the market is possibly turning.
Especially if PCR climbs gradually and stabilizes above zero, it indicates a developing bullish phase.
Components:
Main PCR line: Color-coded (green for rising, red for falling).
Open Average (gray line): Smooths recent PCR values, indicating balance.
High/Low adaptive bands: Adjust dynamically to PCR polarity.
PCR Candles: Visualize OHLC of PCR data for enhanced interpretation.
Suggested use cases:
Enter trend trades when PCR crosses +50 or -50 with volume or price confirmation.
Watch for reversal signs near ±100 if PCR fails to break further.
Use 0 line as a neutral zone — markets hovering near 0 are often in consolidation.
Combine with price action or oscillators like RSI/MACD for additional signals.
Customization:
The length input allows users to define the range for PCR calculations, making it adjustable to various timeframes and strategies (scalping, intraday, swing).
Bitcoin Power Law [LuxAlgo]The Bitcoin Power Law tool is a representation of Bitcoin prices first proposed by Giovanni Santostasi, Ph.D. It plots BTCUSD daily closes on a log10-log10 scale, and fits a linear regression channel to the data.
This channel helps traders visualise when the price is historically in a zone prone to tops or located within a discounted zone subject to future growth.
🔶 USAGE
Giovanni Santostasi, Ph.D. originated the Bitcoin Power-Law Theory; this implementation places it directly on a TradingView chart. The white line shows the daily closing price, while the cyan line is the best-fit regression.
A channel is constructed from the linear fit root mean squared error (RMSE), we can observe how price has repeatedly oscillated between each channel areas through every bull-bear cycle.
Excursions into the upper channel area can be followed by price surges and finishing on a top, whereas price touching the lower channel area coincides with a cycle low.
Users can change the channel areas multipliers, helping capture moves more precisely depending on the intended usage.
This tool only works on the daily BTCUSD chart. Ticker and timeframe must match exactly for the calculations to remain valid.
🔹 Linear Scale
Users can toggle on a linear scale for the time axis, in order to obtain a higher resolution of the price, (this will affect the linear regression channel fit, making it look poorer).
🔶 DETAILS
One of the advantages of the Power Law Theory proposed by Giovanni Santostasi is its ability to explain multiple behaviors of Bitcoin. We describe some key points below.
🔹 Power-Law Overview
A power law has the form y = A·xⁿ , and Bitcoin’s key variables follow this pattern across many orders of magnitude. Empirically, price rises roughly with t⁶, hash-rate with t¹² and the number of active addresses with t³.
When we plot these on log-log axes they appear as straight lines, revealing a scale-invariant system whose behaviour repeats proportionally as it grows.
🔹 Feedback-Loop Dynamics
Growth begins with new users, whose presence pushes the price higher via a Metcalfe-style square-law. A richer price pool funds more mining hardware; the Difficulty Adjustment immediately raises the hash-rate requirement, keeping profit margins razor-thin.
A higher hash rate secures the network, which in turn attracts the next wave of users. Because risk and Difficulty act as braking forces, user adoption advances as a power of three in time rather than an unchecked S-curve. This circular causality repeats without end, producing the familiar boom-and-bust cadence around the long-term power-law channel.
🔹 Scale Invariance & Predictions
Scale invariance means that enlarging the timeline in log-log space leaves the trajectory unchanged.
The same geometric proportions that described the first dollar of value can therefore extend to a projected million-dollar bitcoin, provided no catastrophic break occurs. Institutional ETF inflows supply fresh capital but do not bend the underlying slope; only a persistent deviation from the line would falsify the current model.
🔹 Implications
The theory assigns scarcity no direct role; iterative feedback and the Difficulty Adjustment are sufficient to govern Bitcoin’s expansion. Long-term valuation should focus on position within the power-law channel, while bubbles—sharp departures above trend that later revert—are expected punctuations of an otherwise steady climb.
Beyond about 2040, disruptive technological shifts could alter the parameters, but for the next order of magnitude the present slope remains the simplest, most robust guide.
Bitcoin behaves less like a traditional asset and more like a self-organising digital organism whose value, security, and adoption co-evolve according to immutable power-law rules.

Trend Gauge [BullByte]Trend Gauge
Summary
A multi-factor trend detection indicator that aggregates EMA alignment, VWMA momentum scaling, volume spikes, ATR breakout strength, higher-timeframe confirmation, ADX-based regime filtering, and RSI pivot-divergence penalty into one normalized trend score. It also provides a confidence meter, a Δ Score momentum histogram, divergence highlights, and a compact, scalable dashboard for at-a-glance status.
________________________________________
## 1. Purpose of the Indicator
Why this was built
Traders often monitor several indicators in parallel - EMAs, volume signals, volatility breakouts, higher-timeframe trends, ADX readings, divergence alerts, etc., which can be cumbersome and sometimes contradictory. The “Trend Gauge” indicator was created to consolidate these complementary checks into a single, normalized score that reflects the prevailing market bias (bullish, bearish, or neutral) and its strength. By combining multiple inputs with an adaptive regime filter, scaling contributions by magnitude, and penalizing weakening signals (divergence), this tool aims to reduce noise, highlight genuine trend opportunities, and warn when momentum fades.
Key Design Goals
Signal Aggregation
Merged trend-following signals (EMA crossover, ATR breakout, higher-timeframe confirmation) and momentum signals (VWMA thrust, volume spikes) into a unified score that reflects directional bias more holistically.
Market Regime Awareness
Implemented an ADX-style filter to distinguish between trending and ranging markets, reducing the influence of trend signals during sideways phases to avoid false breakouts.
Magnitude-Based Scaling
Replaced binary contributions with scaled inputs: VWMA thrust and ATR breakout are weighted relative to recent averages, allowing for more nuanced score adjustments based on signal strength.
Momentum Divergence Penalty
Integrated pivot-based RSI divergence detection to slightly reduce the overall score when early signs of momentum weakening are detected, improving risk-awareness in entries.
Confidence Transparency
Added a live confidence metric that shows what percentage of enabled sub-indicators currently agree with the overall bias, making the scoring system more interpretable.
Momentum Acceleration Visualization
Plotted the change in score (Δ Score) as a histogram bar-to-bar, highlighting whether momentum is increasing, flattening, or reversing, aiding in more timely decision-making.
Compact Informational Dashboard
Presented a clean, scalable dashboard that displays each component’s status, the final score, confidence %, detected regime (Trending/Ranging), and a labeled strength gauge for quick visual assessment.
________________________________________
## 2. Why a Trader Should Use It
Main benefits and use cases
1. Unified View: Rather than juggling multiple windows or panels, this indicator delivers a single score synthesizing diverse signals.
2. Regime Filtering: In ranging markets, trend signals often generate false entries. The ADX-based regime filter automatically down-weights trend-following components, helping you avoid chasing false breakouts.
3. Nuanced Momentum & Volatility: VWMA and ATR breakout contributions are normalized by recent averages, so strong moves register strongly while smaller fluctuations are de-emphasized.
4. Early Warning of Weakening: Pivot-based RSI divergence is detected and used to slightly reduce the score when price/momentum diverges, giving a cautionary signal before a full reversal.
5. Confidence Meter: See at a glance how many sub-indicators align with the aggregated bias (e.g., “80% confidence” means 4 out of 5 components agree ). This transparency avoids black-box decisions.
6. Trend Acceleration/Deceleration View: The Δ Score histogram visualizes whether the aggregated score is rising (accelerating trend) or falling (momentum fading), supplementing the main oscillator.
7. Compact Dashboard: A corner table lists each check’s status (“Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat” or “Disabled”), plus overall Score, Confidence %, Regime, Trend Strength label, and a gauge bar. Users can scale text size (Normal, Small, Tiny) without removing elements, so the full picture remains visible even in compact layouts.
8. Customizable & Transparent: All components can be enabled/disabled and parameterized (lengths, thresholds, weights). The full Pine code is open and well-commented, letting users inspect or adapt the logic.
9. Alert-ready: Built-in alert conditions fire when the score crosses weak thresholds to bullish/bearish or returns to neutral, enabling timely notifications.
________________________________________
## 3. Component Rationale (“Why These Specific Indicators?”)
Each sub-component was chosen because it adds complementary information about trend or momentum:
1. EMA Cross
o Basic trend measure: compares a faster EMA vs. a slower EMA. Quickly reflects trend shifts but by itself can whipsaw in sideways markets.
2. VWMA Momentum
o Volume-weighted moving average change indicates momentum with volume context. By normalizing (dividing by a recent average absolute change), we capture the strength of momentum relative to recent history. This scaling prevents tiny moves from dominating and highlights genuinely strong momentum.
3. Volume Spikes
o Sudden jumps in volume combined with price movement often accompany stronger moves or reversals. A binary detection (+1 for bullish spike, -1 for bearish spike) flags high-conviction bars.
4. ATR Breakout
o Detects price breaking beyond recent highs/lows by a multiple of ATR. Measures breakout strength by how far beyond the threshold price moves relative to ATR, capped to avoid extreme outliers. This gives a volatility-contextual trend signal.
5. Higher-Timeframe EMA Alignment
o Confirms whether the shorter-term trend aligns with a higher timeframe trend. Uses request.security with lookahead_off to avoid future data. When multiple timeframes agree, confidence in direction increases.
6. ADX Regime Filter (Manual Calculation)
o Computes directional movement (+DM/–DM), smoothes via RMA, computes DI+ and DI–, then a DX and ADX-like value. If ADX ≥ threshold, market is “Trending” and trend components carry full weight; if ADX < threshold, “Ranging” mode applies a configurable weight multiplier (e.g., 0.5) to trend-based contributions, reducing false signals in sideways conditions. Volume spikes remain binary (optional behavior; can be adjusted if desired).
7. RSI Pivot-Divergence Penalty
o Uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow with a lookback to detect pivot highs/lows on price and corresponding RSI values. When price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish divergence), a divergence signal is set. Rather than flipping the trend outright, the indicator subtracts (or adds) a small penalty (configurable) from the aggregated score if it would weaken the current bias. This subtle adjustment warns of weakening momentum without overreacting to noise.
8. Confidence Meter
o Counts how many enabled components currently agree in direction with the aggregated score (i.e., component sign × score sign > 0). Displays this as a percentage. A high percentage indicates strong corroboration; a low percentage warns of mixed signals.
9. Δ Score Momentum View
o Plots the bar-to-bar change in the aggregated score (delta_score = score - score ) as a histogram. When positive, bars are drawn in green above zero; when negative, bars are drawn in red below zero. This reveals acceleration (rising Δ) or deceleration (falling Δ), supplementing the main oscillator.
10. Dashboard
• A table in the indicator pane’s top-right with 11 rows:
1. EMA Cross status
2. VWMA Momentum status
3. Volume Spike status
4. ATR Breakout status
5. Higher-Timeframe Trend status
6. Score (numeric)
7. Confidence %
8. Regime (“Trending” or “Ranging”)
9. Trend Strength label (e.g., “Weak Bullish Trend”, “Strong Bearish Trend”)
10. Gauge bar visually representing score magnitude
• All rows always present; size_opt (Normal, Small, Tiny) only changes text size via text_size, not which elements appear. This ensures full transparency.
________________________________________
## 4. What Makes This Indicator Stand Out
• Regime-Weighted Multi-Factor Score: Trend and momentum signals are adaptively weighted by market regime (trending vs. ranging) , reducing false signals.
• Magnitude Scaling: VWMA and ATR breakout contributions are normalized by recent average momentum or ATR, giving finer gradation compared to simple ±1.
• Integrated Divergence Penalty: Divergence directly adjusts the aggregated score rather than appearing as a separate subplot; this influences alerts and trend labeling in real time.
• Confidence Meter: Shows the percentage of sub-signals in agreement, providing transparency and preventing blind trust in a single metric.
• Δ Score Histogram Momentum View: A histogram highlights acceleration or deceleration of the aggregated trend score, helping detect shifts early.
• Flexible Dashboard: Always-visible component statuses and summary metrics in one place; text size scaling keeps the full picture available in cramped layouts.
• Lookahead-Safe HTF Confirmation: Uses lookahead_off so no future data is accessed from higher timeframes, avoiding repaint bias.
• Repaint Transparency: Divergence detection uses pivot functions that inherently confirm only after lookback bars; description documents this lag so users understand how and when divergence labels appear.
• Open-Source & Educational: Full, well-commented Pine v6 code is provided; users can learn from its structure: manual ADX computation, conditional plotting with series = show ? value : na, efficient use of table.new in barstate.islast, and grouped inputs with tooltips.
• Compliance-Conscious: All plots have descriptive titles; inputs use clear names; no unnamed generic “Plot” entries; manual ADX uses RMA; all request.security calls use lookahead_off. Code comments mention repaint behavior and limitations.
________________________________________
## 5. Recommended Timeframes & Tuning
• Any Timeframe: The indicator works on small (e.g., 1m) to large (daily, weekly) timeframes. However:
o On very low timeframes (<1m or tick charts), noise may produce frequent whipsaws. Consider increasing smoothing lengths, disabling certain components (e.g., volume spike if volume data noisy), or using a larger pivot lookback for divergence.
o On higher timeframes (daily, weekly), consider longer lookbacks for ATR breakout or divergence, and set Higher-Timeframe trend appropriately (e.g., 4H HTF when on 5 Min chart).
• Defaults & Experimentation: Default input values are chosen to be balanced for many liquid markets. Users should test with replay or historical analysis on their symbol/timeframe and adjust:
o ADX threshold (e.g., 20–30) based on instrument volatility.
o VWMA and ATR scaling lengths to match average volatility cycles.
o Pivot lookback for divergence: shorter for faster markets, longer for slower ones.
• Combining with Other Analysis: Use in conjunction with price action, support/resistance, candlestick patterns, order flow, or other tools as desired. The aggregated score and alerts can guide attention but should not be the sole decision-factor.
________________________________________
## 6. How Scoring and Logic Works (Step-by-Step)
1. Compute Sub-Scores
o EMA Cross: Evaluate fast EMA > slow EMA ? +1 : fast EMA < slow EMA ? -1 : 0.
o VWMA Momentum: Calculate vwma = ta.vwma(close, length), then vwma_mom = vwma - vwma . Normalize: divide by recent average absolute momentum (e.g., ta.sma(abs(vwma_mom), lookback)), clip to .
o Volume Spike: Compute vol_SMA = ta.sma(volume, len). If volume > vol_SMA * multiplier AND price moved up ≥ threshold%, assign +1; if moved down ≥ threshold%, assign -1; else 0.
o ATR Breakout: Determine recent high/low over lookback. If close > high + ATR*mult, compute distance = close - (high + ATR*mult), normalize by ATR, cap at a configured maximum. Assign positive contribution. Similarly for bearish breakout below low.
o Higher-Timeframe Trend: Use request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off) to fetch HTF EMAs; assign +1 or -1 based on alignment.
2. ADX Regime Weighting
o Compute manual ADX: directional movements (+DM, –DM), smoothed via RMA, DI+ and DI–, then DX and ADX via RMA. If ADX ≥ threshold, market is considered “Trending”; otherwise “Ranging.”
o If trending, trend-based contributions (EMA, VWMA, ATR, HTF) use full weight = 1.0. If ranging, use weight = ranging_weight (e.g., 0.5) to down-weight them. Volume spike stays binary ±1 (optional to change if desired).
3. Aggregate Raw Score
o Sum weighted contributions of all enabled components. Count the number of enabled components; if zero, default count = 1 to avoid division by zero.
4. Divergence Penalty
o Detect pivot highs/lows on price and corresponding RSI values, using a lookback. When price and RSI diverge (bearish or bullish divergence), check if current raw score is in the opposing direction:
If bearish divergence (price higher high, RSI lower high) and raw score currently positive, subtract a penalty (e.g., 0.5).
If bullish divergence (price lower low, RSI higher low) and raw score currently negative, add a penalty.
o This reduces score magnitude to reflect weakening momentum, without flipping the trend outright.
5. Normalize and Smooth
o Normalized score = (raw_score / number_of_enabled_components) * 100. This yields a roughly range.
o Optional EMA smoothing of this normalized score to reduce noise.
6. Interpretation
o Sign: >0 = net bullish bias; <0 = net bearish bias; near zero = neutral.
o Magnitude Zones: Compare |score| to thresholds (Weak, Medium, Strong) to label trend strength (e.g., “Weak Bullish Trend”, “Medium Bearish Trend”, “Strong Bullish Trend”).
o Δ Score Histogram: The histogram bars from zero show change from previous bar’s score; positive bars indicate acceleration, negative bars indicate deceleration.
o Confidence: Percentage of sub-indicators aligned with the score’s sign.
o Regime: Indicates whether trend-based signals are fully weighted or down-weighted.
________________________________________
## 7. Oscillator Plot & Visualization: How to Read It
Main Score Line & Area
The oscillator plots the aggregated score as a line, with colored fill: green above zero for bullish area, red below zero for bearish area. Horizontal reference lines at ±Weak, ±Medium, and ±Strong thresholds mark zones: crossing above +Weak suggests beginning of bullish bias, above +Medium for moderate strength, above +Strong for strong trend; similarly for bearish below negative thresholds.
Δ Score Histogram
If enabled, a histogram shows score - score . When positive, bars appear in green above zero, indicating accelerating bullish momentum; when negative, bars appear in red below zero, indicating decelerating or reversing momentum. The height of each bar reflects the magnitude of change in the aggregated score from the prior bar.
Divergence Highlight Fill
If enabled, when a pivot-based divergence is confirmed:
• Bullish Divergence : fill the area below zero down to –Weak threshold in green, signaling potential reversal from bearish to bullish.
• Bearish Divergence : fill the area above zero up to +Weak threshold in red, signaling potential reversal from bullish to bearish.
These fills appear with a lag equal to pivot lookback (the number of bars needed to confirm the pivot). They do not repaint after confirmation, but users must understand this lag.
Trend Direction Label
When score crosses above or below the Weak threshold, a small label appears near the score line reading “Bullish” or “Bearish.” If the score returns within ±Weak, the label “Neutral” appears. This helps quickly identify shifts at the moment they occur.
Dashboard Panel
In the indicator pane’s top-right, a table shows:
1. EMA Cross status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat”, or “Disabled”
2. VWMA Momentum status: similarly
3. Volume Spike status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “No”, or “Disabled”
4. ATR Breakout status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “No”, or “Disabled”
5. Higher-Timeframe Trend status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat”, or “Disabled”
6. Score: numeric value (rounded)
7. Confidence: e.g., “80%” (colored: green for high, amber for medium, red for low)
8. Regime: “Trending” or “Ranging” (colored accordingly)
9. Trend Strength: textual label based on magnitude (e.g., “Medium Bullish Trend”)
10. Gauge: a bar of blocks representing |score|/100
All rows remain visible at all times; changing Dashboard Size only scales text size (Normal, Small, Tiny).
________________________________________
## 8. Example Usage (Illustrative Scenario)
Example: BTCUSD 5 Min
1. Setup: Add “Trend Gauge ” to your BTCUSD 5 Min chart. Defaults: EMAs (8/21), VWMA 14 with lookback 3, volume spike settings, ATR breakout 14/5, HTF = 5m (or adjust to 4H if preferred), ADX threshold 25, ranging weight 0.5, divergence RSI length 14 pivot lookback 5, penalty 0.5, smoothing length 3, thresholds Weak=20, Medium=50, Strong=80. Dashboard Size = Small.
2. Trend Onset: At some point, price breaks above recent high by ATR multiple, volume spikes upward, faster EMA crosses above slower EMA, HTF EMA also bullish, and ADX (manual) ≥ threshold → aggregated score rises above +20 (Weak threshold) into +Medium zone. Dashboard shows “Bull” for EMA, VWMA, Vol Spike, ATR, HTF; Score ~+60–+70; Confidence ~100%; Regime “Trending”; Trend Strength “Medium Bullish Trend”; Gauge ~6–7 blocks. Δ Score histogram bars are green and rising, indicating accelerating bullish momentum. Trader notes the alignment.
3. Divergence Warning: Later, price makes a slightly higher high but RSI fails to confirm (lower RSI high). Pivot lookback completes; the indicator highlights a bearish divergence fill above zero and subtracts a small penalty from the score, causing score to stall or retrace slightly. Dashboard still bullish but score dips toward +Weak. This warns the trader to tighten stops or take partial profits.
4. Trend Weakens: Score eventually crosses below +Weak back into neutral; a “Neutral” label appears, and a “Neutral Trend” alert fires if enabled. Trader exits or avoids new long entries. If score subsequently crosses below –Weak, a “Bearish” label and alert occur.
5. Customization: If the trader finds VWMA noise too frequent on this instrument, they may disable VWMA or increase lookback. If ATR breakouts are too rare, adjust ATR length or multiplier. If ADX threshold seems off, tune threshold. All these adjustments are explained in Inputs section.
6. Visualization: The screenshot shows the main score oscillator with colored areas, reference lines at ±20/50/80, Δ Score histogram bars below/above zero, divergence fill highlighting potential reversal, and the dashboard table in the top-right.

## 10. Limitations, Repaint Notes, and Disclaimers
10.1. Repaint & Lag Considerations
• Pivot-Based Divergence Lag: The divergence detection uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow with a specified lookback. By design, a pivot is only confirmed after the lookback number of bars. As a result:
o Divergence labels or fills appear with a delay equal to the pivot lookback.
o Once the pivot is confirmed and the divergence is detected, the fill/label does not repaint thereafter, but you must understand and accept this lag.
o Users should not treat divergence highlights as predictive signals without additional confirmation, because they appear after the pivot has fully formed.
• Higher-Timeframe EMA Alignment: Uses request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off), so no future data from the higher timeframe is used. This avoids lookahead bias and ensures signals are based only on completed higher-timeframe bars.
• No Future Data: All calculations are designed to avoid using future information. For example, manual ADX uses RMA on past data; security calls use lookahead_off.
10.2. Market & Noise Considerations
• In very choppy or low-liquidity markets, some components (e.g., volume spikes or VWMA momentum) may be noisy. Users can disable or adjust those components’ parameters.
• On extremely low timeframes, noise may dominate; consider smoothing lengths or disabling certain features.
• On very high timeframes, pivots and breakouts occur less frequently; adjust lookbacks accordingly to avoid sparse signals.
10.3. Not a Standalone Trading System
• This is an indicator, not a complete trading strategy. It provides signals and context but does not manage entries, exits, position sizing, or risk management.
• Users must combine it with their own analysis, money management, and confirmations (e.g., price patterns, support/resistance, fundamental context).
• No guarantees: past behavior does not guarantee future performance.
10.4. Disclaimers
• Educational Purposes Only: The script is provided as-is for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.
• Use at Your Own Risk: Trading involves risk of loss. Users should thoroughly test and use proper risk management.
• No Guarantees: The author is not responsible for trading outcomes based on this indicator.

## 11. Alerts
• The indicator defines three alert conditions:
1. Bullish Trend: when the aggregated score crosses above the Weak threshold.
2. Bearish Trend: when the score crosses below the negative Weak threshold.
3. Neutral Trend: when the score returns within ±Weak after being outside.

Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles)Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles)
Created by The_Forex_Steward
This indicator highlights institutional-style supply and demand zones using synthetic SMA-based candles rather than raw price data. It provides a smoother, more refined view of price action to help identify key imbalance areas where price is likely to react.
Features:
- Uses SMA-smoothed synthetic candles to detect bullish and bearish engulfing structures
- Draws demand zones after bullish breakouts and supply zones after bearish breakouts
- Zones are persistent for a customizable number of bars
- Mitigated zones can optionally be removed from the chart
- Includes alerts for breakout and mitigation events
- Optional plotting of synthetic candles over price for visual clarity
How It Works:
When a synthetic candle closes above the high of a previous bearish candle, a bullish engulfing is detected, and a demand zone is created from that bearish candle’s high and low. Conversely, when price closes below the low of a previous bullish candle, a supply zone is formed. These zones stay on the chart for the user-defined duration or until they are mitigated by price, at which point they can be removed automatically.
How to Use:
- Adjust the SMA Length to control how smooth the synthetic candles appear
- Enable or disable Show Supply Zones and Show Demand Zones as needed
- Set the Zone Duration to control how long each zone persists
- Use Delete Mitigated Zones to automatically remove zones when price returns to them
- Optionally enable Show Synthetic SMA Candles to see the candle logic used in detection
- Use the built-in alerts to stay notified of new zone creation or mitigation
Note: This tool is most effective when combined with structure or trend-based strategies for confirmation.

5DMA Optional HMA Entry📈 5DMA Optional HMA Entry Signal – Precision-Based Momentum Trigger
Category: Trend-Following / Reversal Timing / Entry Optimization
🔍 Overview:
The 5DMA Optional HMA Entry indicator is a refined price-action entry tool built for traders who rely on clean trend alignment and precise timing. This script identifies breakout-style entry points when price gains upward momentum relative to short-term moving averages — specifically the 5-day Simple Moving Average (5DMA) and an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Whether you're swing trading stocks, scalping ETFs like UVXY or VXX, or looking for pullback recovery entries, this tool helps time your long entries with clarity and flexibility.
⚙️ Core Logic:
Primary Condition (Always On):
🔹 Close must be above the 5DMA – ensuring upward short-term momentum is confirmed.
Optional Condition (Toggled by User):
🔹 Close above the HMA – adds slope-responsive trend filtering for smoother setups. Enable or disable via checkbox.
Bonus Entry Filter (Optional):
🔹 Green Candle Wick Breakout – optional pattern logic that detects bullish momentum when the high pierces above both MAs, with a green body.
Reset Mechanism:
🔁 Signal resets only after price closes back below all active MAs (5DMA and HMA if enabled), reducing noise and avoiding repeated signals during chop.
🧠 Why This Works:
This indicator captures the kind of setups that professional traders look for:
Momentum crossovers without chasing late.
Mean reversion snapbacks that align with fresh bullish moves.
Avoids premature entries by requiring clear structure above moving averages.
Optional HMA filter allows adaptability: turn it off during choppy markets or range conditions, and on during trending environments.
🔔 Features:
✅ Adjustable HMA Length
✅ Enable/Disable HMA Filter
✅ Optional Green Wick Breakout Detection
✅ Visual “Buy” label plotted below qualifying bars
✅ Real-time Alert Conditions for automated trading or manual alerts
🎯 Use Cases:
VIX-based ETFs (e.g., UVXY, VXX): Catch early breakouts aligned with volatility spikes.
Growth Stocks: Time pullback entries during bullish runs.
Futures/Indices: Combine with macro levels for intraday scalps or swing setups.
Overlay on Trend Filters: Combine with RSI, MACD, or VWAP for confirmation.
🛠️ Recommended Settings:
For smooth setups in volatile names, use:
HMA Length: 20
Keep green wick filter ON
For fast momentum trades, disable the HMA filter to act on 5DMA alone.
⭐ Final Thoughts:
This script is built to serve both systematic traders and discretionary scalpers who want actionable signals without noise or lag. The toggleable HMA feature lets you adjust sensitivity depending on market conditions — a key edge in adapting to volatility cycles.
Perfect for those who value clean, non-repainting entries rooted in logical structure.
CoffeeShopCrypto Supertrend Liquidity EngineMost SuperTrend indicators use fixed ATR multipliers that ignore context—forcing traders to constantly tweak settings that rarely adapt well across timeframes or assets.
This Supertrend is a nodd to and a more completion of the work
done by Olivier Seban ( @olivierseban )
This version replaces guesswork with an adaptive factor based on prior session volatility, dynamically adjusting stops to match current conditions. It also introduces liquidity-aware zones, real-time strength histograms, and a visual control panel—making your stoploss smarter, more responsive, and aligned with how the market actually moves.
📏 The Multiplier Problem & Adaptive Factor Solution
Traditional SuperTrend indicators rely on fixed ATR multipliers—often arbitrary numbers like 1.5, 2, or 3. The issue? No logical basis ties these values to actual market conditions. What works on a 5-minute Nasdaq chart fails on a daily EUR/USD chart. Traders spend hours tweaking multipliers per asset, timeframe, or volatility phase—and still end up with stoplosses that are either too tight or too loose. Worse, the market doesn’t care about your setting—it behaves according to underlying volatility, not your parameter.
This version fixes that by automating the multiplier selection entirely. It uses a 4-zone model based on the current ATR relative to the previous session’s ATR, dynamically adjusting the SuperTrend factor to match current volatility. It eliminates guesswork, adapts to the asset and timeframe, and ensures you’re always using a context-aware stoploss—one that evolves with the market instead of fighting it.
ATR EXAMPLE
Let’s say prior session ATR = 2.00
Now suppose current ATR = 0.32
This places us in Zone 1 (Very Low Volatility)
It doesn’t imply "overbought" or "oversold" — it tells you the market is moving very little, which often means:
Lower risk | Smaller stops | Smaller opportunities (and losses)
🔁 Liquidity Zones vs. Arbitrary Pullbacks
The standard SuperTrend stop loss line often looks like price “barely misses it” before continuing its trend. Traders call this "stop hunting," but what’s really happening is liquidity collection—price pulls back into a zone rich in orders before continuing. The problem? The old SuperTrend doesn’t show this zone. It only draws the outer limit, leaving no visual cue for where entries or continuation moves might realistically originate.
This script introduces 2 levels in the Liquidity Zone. One for Support and one for Stophunts, which draw dynamically between the current price and the SuperTrend line. These levels reflect where the market is most likely to revisit before resuming the trend. By visualizing the area just above the Supertrend stop loss, you can anticipate pullbacks, spot ideal re-entries, and avoid premature exits. This bridges the gap between mechanical stoploss logic and real-world liquidity behavior.
⏳ Prior Session ATR vs. Live ATR
Using real-time ATR to determine movement potential is like driving by looking in your rearview mirror. It’s reactive, not predictive. Traders often base decisions on live ATR, unaware that today’s range is still unfolding —creating volatility mismatches between what’s calculated and what actually matters. Since ATR reflects range, calculating it mid-session gives an incomplete and misleading picture of true volatility.
Instead, this system uses the ATR from the previous session , anchoring your volatility assumptions in a fully-formed price structure . It tells you how far price moved in the last full market phase—be it London, New York, or Tokyo—giving you a more reliable gauge of expected range today. This is a smarter way to estimate how far price could move rather than how far it has moved.
The Smoothing function will take the ATR, Support, Resistance, Stophunt Levels, and the Moving Avearage and smooth them by the calculation you choose.
It will also plot a moving average on your chart against closing prices by the smoothing function you choose.
🧭 Scalping vs. Trending Modes
The market moves in at least 4 phases. Trending, Ranging, Consolidation, Distribution.
Every trader has a different style —some scalp low-volatility moves during off-hours, while others ride macro trends across days. The problem with classic SuperTrend? It treats every market condition the same. A fixed system can’t possibly provide proper stoploss spacing for both a fast scalp and a long-term swing. Traders are forced to rebuild their system every time the market changes character or the session shifts.
This version solves that with a simple toggle:
Scalping or Trend Mode . With one switch, it inverts the logic of the adaptive factor to either tighten or loosen your trailing stops. During low-liquidity hours or consolidation phases, Scalping Mode offers snug stoplosses. During expansion or clear directional bias.
Trend Mode lets the trade breathe. This is flexibility built directly into the logic—not something you have to recalibrate manually.
📉 Histogram Oscillator for Move Strength
In legacy indicators, there’s no built-in way to gauge when the move is losing power . Traders rely on price action or momentum indicators to guess if a trend is fading. But this adds clutter, lag, and often contradiction. The classic SuperTrend doesn’t offer insight into how strong or weak the current trend leg is—only whether price has crossed a line.
This version includes a Trending Liquidity Histogram —a histogram that shows whether the liquidity in the SuperTrend zone is expanding or compressing. When the bars weaken or cross toward zero, it signals liquidity exhaustion . This early warning gives you time to prep for reversals or anticipate pullbacks. It even adapts visually depending on your trading mode, showing color-coded signals for scalping vs. trending behavior. It's both a strength gauge and a trade timing tool—built into your stoploss logic.

📊 Visual Table for Real-Time Clarity
A major issue with custom indicators is opacity —you don’t always know what settings or values are currently being used. Even worse, if your dynamic logic changes mid-trade, you may not notice unless you go digging into the code or logs. This can create confusion, especially for discretionary traders.
This SuperTrend solves it with a clean visual summary table right on your chart. It shows your current ATR value, adaptive multiplier, trailing stop level, and whether a new zone size is active. That means no surprises and no second-guessing—everything important is visible and updated in real-time.
Volumetric Expansion/Contraction### Indicator Title: Volumetric Expansion/Contraction
### Summary
The Volumetric Expansion/Contraction (PCC) indicator is a comprehensive momentum oscillator designed to identify high-conviction price moves. Unlike traditional oscillators that only look at price, the PCC integrates four critical dimensions of market activity: **Price Change**, **Relative Volume (RVOL)**, **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)**, and **Average True Range (ATR)**.
Its primary purpose is to help traders distinguish between meaningful, volume-backed market expansions and noisy, unsustainable price action. It gives more weight to moves that occur in a controlled, low-volatility environment, highlighting potential starts of new trends or significant shifts in market sentiment.
### Key Concepts & Purpose
The indicator's unique formula synthesizes the following concepts:
1. **Price Change:** Measures the magnitude and direction of the primary move.
2. **Relative Volume (RVOL):** Confirms that the move is backed by significant volume compared to its recent average, indicating institutional participation.
3. **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD):** Measures the underlying buying and selling pressure, confirming that the price move is aligned with the net flow of market orders.
4. **Inverse Volatility (ATR):** This is the indicator's unique twist. It normalizes the signal by the inverse of the Average True Range. This means the indicator's value is **amplified** when volatility (ATR) is low (signifying a controlled, confident expansion) and **dampened** when volatility is high (filtering out chaotic, less predictable moves).
The goal is to provide a single, easy-to-read oscillator that signals when price, volume, and order flow are all in alignment, especially during a breakout from a period of contraction.
### Features
* **Main Oscillator Line:** A single line plotted in a separate pane that represents the calculated strength of the volumetric expansion or contraction.
* **Zero Line:** A dotted reference line to easily distinguish between bullish (above zero) and bearish (below zero) regimes.
* **Visual Threshold Zones:** The background automatically changes color to highlight periods of significant strength:
* **Bright Green:** Indicates a "Strong Up Move" when the oscillator crosses above the user-defined upper threshold.
* **Bright Fuchsia:** Indicates a "Strong Down Move" when the oscillator crosses below the user-defined lower threshold.
### Configurable Settings & Filters
The indicator is fully customizable to allow for extensive testing and adaptation to different assets and timeframes.
#### Main Calculation Inputs
* **Price Change Lookback:** Sets the period for calculating the primary price change.
* **CVD Normalization Length:** The lookback period for normalizing the Cumulative Volume Delta.
* **RVOL Avg Volume Length:** The lookback for the simple moving average of volume, used to calculate RVOL.
* **RVOL Normalization Length:** The lookback period for normalizing the RVOL score.
* **ATR Length & Normalization Length:** Sets the periods for calculating the ATR and its longer-term average for normalization.
#### Weights
* Fine-tune the impact of each core component on the final calculation, allowing you to emphasize what matters most to your strategy (e.g., give more weight to CVD or RVOL).
#### External Market Filter (Powerful Feature)
* **Enable SPY/QQQ Filter for Up Moves?:** A checkbox to activate a powerful regime filter.
* **Symbol:** A dropdown to choose whether to filter signals based on the trend of **SPY** or **QQQ**.
* **SMA Period:** Sets the lookback period for the Simple Moving Average (default is 50).
* **How it works:** When enabled, this filter will **only allow "Strong Up Move" signals to appear if the chosen symbol (SPY or QQQ) is currently trading above its specified SMA**. This is an excellent tool for aligning your signals with the broader market trend and avoiding bullish entries in a bearish market.
#### Visuals
* **Upper/Lower Threshold:** Allows you to define what level the oscillator must cross to trigger the colored background zones, letting you customize the indicator's sensitivity.

CM RSI-Stoch Hybrid D&K%CM RSI-Stoch Hybrid D&K% Indicator
The CM RSI-Stoch Hybrid D&K% Indicator is a sophisticated momentum and trend analysis tool that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic %K, and %D into a single, cohesive signal, enhanced by dynamic volume weighting and customizable smoothing. Unlike standalone RSI or Stochastic indicators, this hybrid approach integrates multiple data points to reduce noise, filter false signals, and provide traders with a clearer, more actionable view of market dynamics. Designed for versatility, it’s suitable for day trading, swing trading, or long-term investing across stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, and commodities.
Why This Indicator Is Unique
Traditional RSI measures momentum based on price changes, while Stochastic tracks price cycles relative to highs and lows. However, both can generate conflicting or noisy signals in volatile markets. The CM RSI-Stoch Hybrid D&K% addresses this by:
Merging Complementary Signals: It calculates a composite signal by averaging RSI, Stochastic %K, and %D, balancing momentum and cyclical insights to produce a smoother, more reliable indicator.
Volume-Weighted Context: A dynamic colour system adjusts the composite signal’s appearance based on volume surges, helping traders prioritize moves backed by strong market participation.
Customizable Smoothing: A user-defined moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) smooths the composite signal, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to their preferred timeframe or strategy. This unique combination reduces the lag and false positives common in individual indicators, offering a novel perspective on market momentum and reversals.
How It Works
The indicator operates through a multi-layered approach:
Composite Signal Calculation: The core feature is a composite line derived by averaging RSI (based on closing prices), Stochastic %K, and %D (calculated from price highs and lows). This fusion creates a balanced momentum signal that mitigates the limitations of each indicator, such as RSI’s sensitivity to price spikes or Stochastic’s tendency to oscillate in choppy markets.
Volume-Weighted Colouring: The composite line changes colour (navy for high volume, blue for normal) based on a comparison of current trading volume to a user-defined volume moving average. This highlights when momentum aligns with significant market activity, improving trade timing.
Customizable Moving Average: Traders can apply an SMA, EMA, or WMA to the composite signal, adjusting its sensitivity to suit scalping, swing trading, or trend-following strategies.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: User-defined thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions (based on RSI) are visually marked with semi-transparent red (overbought) and green (oversold) backgrounds, making it easy to spot potential reversals or continuation patterns.
Key Features
Hybrid Momentum Signal: Combines RSI, Stochastic %K, and %D into a single, noise-filtered line for enhanced clarity.
Volume-Driven Insights: Dynamically adjusts the composite line’s colour to reflect high-volume conditions, emphasizing significant market moves.
Flexible Smoothing: Choose from SMA, EMA, or WMA to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust RSI length, Stochastic periods, volume MA length, and overbought/oversold thresholds to match any market or timeframe.
Clear Visuals: Displays RSI, Stochastic %K, %D, composite signal, and moving average in a single panel, with intuitive overbought/oversold zones.
How to Use It
Trend Confirmation: Monitor the composite signal relative to its moving average. A composite line above its MA suggests bullish momentum, while a line below indicates bearish momentum.
Reversal Opportunities: Use the overbought (red background) and oversold (green background) zones to identify potential reversals, especially when confirmed by high-volume signals (navy composite line).
Scalping and Swing Trading: Adjust RSI and Stochastic lengths for faster or slower signals, using the moving average to filter noise for precise entries and exits.
Cross-Market Application: Customize settings to suit the volatility of stocks, forex, crypto, or commodities, ensuring versatility across timeframes.
Hint - watch for the back ground to change colour to reflect oversold or overbought conditions and then watch for the composite signal line to cross the moving average and for the back ground colour to go. High volume (navy blue) would also then add to directional bias.
Why Traders Will Benefit
The CM RSI-Stoch Hybrid D&K% goes beyond traditional indicators by integrating RSI, Stochastic, and volume analysis into a unified system that reduces false signals and enhances decision-making. Its dynamic volume weighting and customizable options make it a powerful tool for traders seeking to navigate complex markets with confidence. Whether you’re scalping intraday moves or tracking long-term trends, this indicator provides a clear, actionable edge.
Note: Combine this indicator with proper risk management and complementary analysis tools. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Full setup support will be given
Running Minimum HighThe running minimum high looks at the minimum high from a defined lookback period (default 10 days) and plots that on the price chart. Green arrows signify when the low of the candle is above the running minimum high (suggesting an uptrend), and red arrows signify when the high of the candle is below the running minimum high (suggesting a downtrend).
It is recommended to use this on high timeframes (e.g. 1 hour and above) given the high number of signals it generates on lower timeframes.

cd_cisd_market_CxHi Traders,
Overview:
Many traders follow market structure to identify the market direction and seek trade opportunities in line with the trend.
However, markings derived from user-defined inputs can create different structures, depending on personal choices. For instance, choosing a pivot distance of 3 instead of 2 alters the structure, even though the chart remains the same. Ideally, the structure should remain consistent.
"Change in State Delivery" ( CISD ) is a widely accepted concept among traders and is considered a significant indicator of market direction based on the gain/loss of CISD levels.
In this indicator, CISD is selected as the primary criterion for marking market structure, eliminating the influence of user-dependent variations.
Here is a summary of the key logic and rules applied:
• When the price forms a new high/low, that level is only considered a pivot if a CISD has occurred.
• A bullish CISD is always followed by a bearish CISD, and vice versa.
• Pivot points form the internal structure.
• The internal structure is used to interpret the swing structure.
• Probabilities are derived from internal structure patterns.
________________________________________
Details:
How is CISD determined?
As is commonly known:
• When price makes a new high, the opening level of the first candle in the consecutive bullish candle sequence is marked.
• When price makes a new low, the opening of the first candle in the consecutive bearish sequence is marked.
• If there’s only one candle in the sequence, its opening level is used.
In a bullish market, losing a bearish CISD level (i.e., a close below it) or in a bearish market, gaining a bullish CISD level (i.e., a close above it) is interpreted as a potential shift in buyer-seller dominance and a possible market reversal.
________________________________________
How are internal (pivot) levels determined?
• When price closes below a bearish CISD level, the highest candle's high becomes a pivot high (PH).
• When price closes above a bullish CISD level, the lowest candle's low becomes a pivot low (PL).
• If the new PH is above the previous PH, it’s labeled as HH (Higher High); otherwise, LH (Lower High).
• If the new PL is below the previous PL, it’s labeled as LL (Lower Low); otherwise, HL (Higher Low).
________________________________________
Internal Market Structure:
• A series of HHs indicates a bullish internal structure.
• A series of LLs indicates a bearish internal structure.
________________________________________
Swing (Main) Market Structure:
Using internal pivots and previous swing levels, the main market structure is derived.
• A new swing high (SH) requires the price to move above the previous SH.
• A new swing low (SL) requires the price to move below the previous SL.
________________________________________
Probability Calculation:
Pivot levels forming the internal structure are coded as five-element sequences.
There are 64 possible combinations of such sequences made from consecutive PH and PL values.
Each pattern’s frequency from its starting candle is tracked.
To make it more understandable:
For example, after the four-sequence “HH, LL, LH,HL”, either HH or LH might follow.
The table shows the statistical likelihood of both possible outcomes for the most recent four-element sequence on the chart.
________________________________________
How reliable is it?
To assess reliability, results are calculated from the beginning using:
Success Rate (Suc. Rt) = Number of Correct Predictions / Total Predictions
This value is added to the table for reference.
It’s important to note that no statistical outcome guarantees certainty—every result offers a different interpretation. What truly matters is to avoid getting stopped out 😊.

Menu Options:
Show/hide preferences and color selections can be customized via the indicator menu.

What’s Coming in Future Versions?
