Market Structure Confluence [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script is called "Market Structure Confluence" and it combines classic market structure analysis with a dynamic volatility-based band system to detect shifts in trend and momentum more reliably. It tracks key swing points (higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows) to define the trend, then overlays a basis and ATR-smoothed volatility bands to catch rejection signals and highlight potential inflection points in the market.
CONCEPTS
Market structure is the foundation of price action trading, focusing on the relationship between successive highs and lows to understand trend conditions. Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events are important because they signal when a market might be shifting direction. This script enhances traditional structure by integrating volatility bands, which act like dynamic support/resistance zones based on ATR, allowing it to capture momentum surges and rejections beyond just structural shifts.
FEATURES
Swing Detection: It detects and labels Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) based on user-defined time horizons, helping traders quickly spot the trend direction.
BOS and CHoCH Lines: When a previous swing point is broken, the script automatically plots a Break of Structure (BOS) line. If the break represents a major trend reversal (a CHoCH), it is marked differently to separate simple breakouts from real trend changes.
Rejection Signals: Special arrows plot when price pierces a band and then pulls back, suggesting a potential trap move or rejection signal in the direction of the new structure.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for structure breaks, CHoCHs, swing points, rejections at bands, and trend flips make it easy to automate setups without manually watching the chart.
USAGE
Set your preferred swing detection size depending on your timeframe and trading style — smaller numbers for intraday, larger numbers for swing trading. Choose whether you want BOS/CHoCH confirmed by candle closes or by wick breaks. Use the volatility band settings to fine-tune how tightly or loosely the bands hug the price, adjusting sensitivity based on market conditions. When a BOS or CHoCH occurs, or when a rejection happens at the bands, the script will highlight it clearly and optionally trigger alerts. Watch for combinations where both structure breaks and volatility band rejections happen together — those are high-quality trade signals. This setup works best when used with basic trend filtering and higher timeframe confirmation.
Trend Analizi
Anchored Moving Average by TradeSeekersThis script plots an SMA that resets based on the selected anchored timeframe, by default it is 1D.
There exists some other AMA scripts but I didn't find anything that plotted the non-anchored MA alongside the AMA and displayed the point of convergence.
The non-anchored MA presents slightly opaque as a circle plot until the anchored MA converges.
Until the anchored MA contains enough data an simple average is calculated of all source prices collected starting from the anchor.
For example, if the timeframe has reset and source is set to closing prices, then after the first bar the AMA is essentially the last closing price. After two bars have closed then the AMA is an average of the last two closing prices.
Future updates may add additional average types as time permits.
Stablecoin Supply Ratio [Alpha Extract]Stablecoin Supply Ratio Indicator
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) indicator compares Bitcoin's market capitalization to the aggregate supply of major stablecoins, offering insights into relative purchasing power and liquidity. This tool helps traders:
✔ Assess Bitcoin's buying power relative to the available stablecoin liquidity.
✔ Detect periods of capital inflow or outflow from stablecoins.
✔ Identify market sentiment shifts based on stablecoin reserves.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator aggregates the supply of key stablecoins and compares it to Bitcoin's market cap:
Stablecoin Aggregation
• Inputs:
USDT, USDC, DAI, USDD (daily closing values).
BUSD Market Cap (Glassnode data).
• Total Stablecoin Supply:
Sum of the listed stablecoins' market caps.
Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR)
• Formula:
SSR = Bitcoin Market Cap / Total Stablecoin Supply
• Normalized SSR:
Normalized by dividing SSR by its 200-day SMA.
Bollinger Bands
• Bands are applied to the normalized SSR using a configurable moving average type and 2 standard deviations.
Example Calculation:
ssr = btcmc / stablecoin_liq
ratio = ssr / ta.sma(ssr, 200)
basis = ta.sma(ratio, 200)
dev = 2 * ta.stdev(ratio, 200)
upper = basis + dev
lower = basis - dev
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
• Normalized SSR:
Plotted as a light green line.
• Upper Band:
Red line indicating SSR overbought zone.
• Lower Band:
Green line signaling SSR oversold zone.
Interpretation:
• High SSR: Indicates stablecoin reserves are low relative to Bitcoin's market cap, reducing stablecoin buying power.
• Low SSR: Suggests high stablecoin liquidity relative to Bitcoin's market cap, increasing potential buying pressure.
• Band Crosses: Movements beyond the upper or lower bands may signal sentiment extremes.
🔶 EXAMPLES
Market insights include:
• Capital Outflows: SSR rising into the upper band may reflect decreasing stablecoin reserves, potentially signaling a liquidity drain.
• Capital Inflows: SSR dropping near the lower band could indicate growing stablecoin reserves, potentially fueling Bitcoin demand.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
• MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, and VWMA for band calculation.
• Period: Adjust the 200-day smoothing period.
• Deviation Multiplier: Modify the standard deviation multiplier (default: 2).
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio indicator is a valuable tool for traders monitoring liquidity dynamics and stablecoin trends to anticipate Bitcoin market moves and capital flows.
Market Breadth Peaks & Troughs IndicatorIndicator Overview
Market Breadth (S5TH) visualizes extremes of market strength and weakness by overlaying -
a 200-period EMA (long-term trend)
a 5-period EMA (short-term trend, user-adjustable)

Accurate Global M2 (Top10 GDP, FX-Stabilized)This script was created to solve the serious distortions found in other circulating "Global M2" indicators.
Many previous versions used noisy daily FX rates, unweighted country data, mixed liquidity categories (e.g., RRP, TGA), or aggregated low-quality sources, causing exaggerated or misleading charts.
This version fixes those problems by:
Using Top 10 global economies only (based on GDP).
GDP-weighting each country's M2 contribution.
Fetching monthly-averaged M2 data.
Applying monthly FX conversions to eliminate daily volatility noise.
Forward-shifting the M2 line (default 90 days) to study potential Bitcoin correlations.
Keeping the math clean, without mixing central bank liquidity tools with broad M2 aggregates.
As a result, this script provides a more realistic and stable representation of global M2 expansion in USD terms, more suitable for serious macroeconomic analysis and Bitcoin market correlation studies.
Cointegration Buy and Sell Signals [EdgeTerminal]The Cointegration Buy And Sell Signals is a sophisticated technical analysis tool to spot high-probability market turning points — before they fully develop on price charts.
Most reversal indicators rely on raw price action, visual patterns, or basic and common indicator logic — which often suffer in noisy or trending markets. In most cases, they lag behind the actual change in trend and provide useless and late signals.
This indicator is rooted in advanced concepts from statistical arbitrage, mean reversion theory, and quantitative finance, and it packages these ideas in a user-friendly visual format that works on any timeframe and asset class.
It does this by analyzing how the short-term and long-term EMAs behave relative to each other — and uses statistical filters like Z-score, correlation, volatility normalization, and stationarity tests to issue highly selective Buy and Sell signals.
This tool provides statistical confirmation of trend exhaustion, allowing you to trade mean-reverting setups. It fades overextended moves and uses signal stacking to reduce false entries. The entire indicator is based on a very interesting mathematically grounded model which I will get into down below.
Here’s how the indicator works at a high level:
EMAs as Anchors: It starts with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — one short-term and one long-term — to track market direction.
Statistical Spread (Regression Residuals): It performs a rolling linear regression between the short and long EMA. Instead of using the raw difference (short - long), it calculates the regression residual, which better models their natural relationship.
Normalize the Spread: The spread is divided by historical price volatility (ATR) to make it scale-invariant. This ensures the indicator works on low-priced stocks, high-priced indices, and crypto alike.
Z-Score: It computes a Z-score of the normalized spread to measure how “extreme” the current deviation is from its historical average.
Dynamic Thresholds: Unlike most tools that use fixed thresholds (like Z = ±2), this one calculates dynamic thresholds using historical percentiles (e.g., top 10% and bottom 10%) so that it adapts to the asset's current behavior to reduce false signals based on market’s extreme volatility at a certain time.
Z-Score Momentum: It tracks the direction of the Z-score — if Z is extreme but still moving away from zero, it's too early. It waits for reversion to start (Z momentum flips).
Correlation Check: Uses a rolling Pearson correlation to confirm the two EMAs are still statistically related. If they diverge (low correlation), no signal is shown.
Stationarity Filter (ADF-like): Uses the volatility of the regression residual to determine if the spread is stationary (mean-reverting) — a key concept in cointegration and statistical arbitrage. It’s not possible to build an exact ADF filter in Pine Script so we used the next best thing.
Signal Control: Prevents noisy charts and overtrading by ensuring no back-to-back buy or sell signals. Each signal must alternate and respect a cooldown period so you won’t be overwhelmed and won’t get a messy chart.
Important Notes to Remember:
The whole idea behind this indicator is to try to use some stat arb models to detect shifting patterns faster than they appear on common indicators, so in some cases, some assumptions are made based on historic values.
This means that in some cases, the indicator can “jump” into the conclusion too quickly. Although we try to eliminate this by using stationary filters, correlation checks, and Z-score momentum detection, there is still a chance some signals that are generated can be too early, in the stock market, that's the same as being incorrect. So make sure to use this with other indicators to confirm the movement.
How To Use The Indicator:
You can use the indicator as a standalone reversal system, as a filter for overbought and oversold setups, in combination with other trend indicators and as a part of a signal stack with other common indicators for divergence spotting and fade trades.
The indicator produces simple buy and sell signals when all criteria is met. Based on our own testing, we recommend treating these signals as standalone and independent from each other . Meaning that if you take position after a buy signal, don’t wait for a sell signal to appear to exit the trade and vice versa.
This is why we recommend using this indicator with other advanced or even simple indicators as an early confirmation tool.
The Display Table:
The floating diagnostic table in the top-right corner of the chart is a key part of this indicator. It's a live statistical dashboard that helps you understand why a signal is (or isn’t) being triggered, and whether the market conditions are lining up for a potential reversal.
1. Z-Score
What it shows: The current Z-score value of the volatility-normalized spread between the short EMA and the regression line of the long EMA.
Why it matters: Z-score tells you how statistically extreme the current relationship is. A Z-score of:
0 = perfectly average
> +2 = very overbought
< -2 = very oversold
How to use it: Look for Z-score reaching extreme highs or lows (beyond dynamic thresholds). Watch for it to start reversing direction, especially when paired with green table rows (see below)
2. Z-Score Momentum
What it shows: The rate of change (ROC) of the Z-score:
Zmomentum=Zt − Zt − 1
Why it matters: This tells you if the Z-score is still stretching out (e.g., getting more overbought/oversold), or reverting back toward the mean.
How to use it: A positive Z-momentum after a very low Z-score = potential bullish reversal A negative Z-momentum after a very high Z-score = potential bearish reversal. Avoid signals when momentum is still pushing deeper into extremes
3. Correlation
What it shows: The rolling Pearson correlation coefficient between the short EMA and long EMA.
Why it matters: High correlation (closer to +1) means the EMAs are still statistically connected — a key requirement for cointegration or mean reversion to be valid.
How to use it: Look for correlation > 0.7 for reliable signals. If correlation drops below 0.5, ignore the Z-score — the EMAs aren’t moving together anymore
4. Stationary
What it shows: A simplified "Yes" or "No" answer to the question:
“Is the spread statistically stable (stationary) and mean-reverting right now?”
Why it matters: Mean reversion strategies only work when the spread is stationary — that is, when the distance between EMAs behaves like a rubber band, not a drifting cloud.
How to use it: A "Yes" means the indicator sees a consistent, stable spread — good for trading. "No" means the market is too volatile, disjointed, or chaotic for reliable mean reversion. Wait for this to flip to "Yes" before trusting signals
5. Last Signal
What it shows: The last signal issued by the system — either "Buy", "Sell", or "None"
Why it matters: Helps avoid confusion and repeated entries. Signals only alternate — you won’t get another Buy until a Sell happens, and vice versa.
How to use it: If the last signal was a "Buy", and you’re watching for a Sell, don’t act on more bullish signals. Great for systems where you only want one position open at a time
6. Bars Since Signal
What it shows: How many bars (candles) have passed since the last Buy or Sell signal.
Why it matters: Gives you context for how long the current condition has persisted
How to use it: If it says 1 or 2, a signal just happened — avoid jumping in late. If it’s been 10+ bars, a new opportunity might be brewing soon. You can use this to time exits if you want to fade a recent signal manually
Indicator Settings:
Short EMA: Sets the short-term EMA period. The smaller the number, the more reactive and more signals you get.
Long EMA: Sets the slow EMA period. The larger this number is, the smoother baseline, and more reliable trend bases are generated.
Z-Score Lookback: The period or bars used for mean & std deviation of spread between short and long EMAs. Larger values result in smoother signals with fewer false positives.
Volatility Window: This value normalizes the spread by historical volatility. This allows you to prevent scale distortion, showing you a cleaner and better chart.
Correlation Lookback: How many periods or how far back to test correlation between slow and long EMAs. This filters out false positives when EMAs lose alignment.
Hurst Lookback: The multiplier to approximate stationarity. Lower leads to more sensitivity to regime change, higher produces a more stricter filtering.
Z Threshold Percentile: This value sets how extreme Z-score must be to trigger a signal. For example, 90 equals only top/bottom 10% of extremes, 80 = more frequent.
Min Bars Between Signals: This hard stop prevents back-to-back signals. The idea is to avoid over-trading or whipsaws in volatile markets even when Hurst lookback and volatility window values are not enough to filter signals.
Some More Recommendations:
We recommend trying different EMA pairs (10/50, 21/100, 5/20) for different asset behaviors. You can set percentile to 85 or 80 if you want more frequent but looser signals. You can also use the Z-score reversion monitor for powerful confirmation.

NR4/NR7 + Trend + MACD + VWAP FilterThe Ultimate Momentum-Compression Strategy
This strategy merges the power of price compression and trend confirmation, ensuring you're trading when the market is coiled and ready to move. By combining multiple filters—NR4/NR7, trend alignment, MACD momentum, and VWAP support—this setup identifies high-probability trade opportunities in dynamic, trending stocks. Here's how it works:
NR4/NR7 Patterns: These are narrow-range days where the current price range is smaller than the previous 4 or 7 days. This signals potential breakout or continuation setups, as the market is compressing before making a move.
Trend Confirmation: To ensure you're not trading against the current trend, the price must be above the 20 EMA, and the 10 EMA must be above the 20 EMA. This confirms a bullish structure, with the price trending in your favour.
MACD Momentum: The fast MACD line must be above the slow MACD line, confirming the trend is not only intact but also gaining momentum.
VWAP Filter: Price must be above the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). This is the final confirmation that the market is in a strong, bullish phase, with buyers dominating the market.
By requiring all these conditions to align, this strategy takes the guesswork out of day trading. It ensures you're trading within a well-established trend, with compression patterns and momentum backing your trade. The result? You’re entering positions with confidence and clarity, poised to ride strong, sustained moves.
This strategy is for the trader who values both flexibility and discipline—able to capture dynamic moves while staying aligned with market structure and momentum. It’s a refined, systematic approach that makes decisions clear, without the emotional second-guessing.
Godfather of Support & Resistance Godfather of Support & Resistance
Overview
The Godfather of Support & Resistance script is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify critical support and resistance levels on their charts. These price levels are vital for understanding market behavior, as they often act as turning points where prices reverse, consolidate, or break through. By automating the detection of these levels, this script simplifies your trading decisions and enhances your technical analysis.
How It Works
Pivot Points for Level Detection:
The script uses pivot points to identify potential support (lows) and resistance (highs) levels:
A pivot high is a local peak (a high surrounded by lower highs).
A pivot low is a local trough (a low surrounded by higher lows).
You can adjust the Pivot Length (pivotLen) input to control the sensitivity of detection. Smaller values detect more levels, while larger values focus on major levels.
Dynamic Grouping with Tolerance:
The script dynamically groups nearby price levels using a tolerance percentage. This tolerance is based on the level's price, making it adaptive to all types of assets (low- and high-priced).
For example, if the tolerance is set to 1% and a level is at $100, levels within $1 are grouped together.
Touch Count for Significance:
The script tracks how many times the price interacts with each level (touch count). Only levels that meet or exceed the Minimum Touches (minTouches) input are displayed on the chart. This ensures only meaningful levels are highlighted.
Clear Visual Representation:
Resistance Levels (Red Lines): Represent areas where the price tends to reverse downward.
Support Levels (Green Lines): Represent areas where the price tends to reverse upward.
Labels are added to each level (optional) to display the price and the number of touches for better decision-making.
Inputs You Can Customize
Minimum Touches to Show Level:
Set the minimum number of price interactions required for a level to be displayed.
Maximum Lines to Keep:
Limit the number of support and resistance lines displayed to keep your chart clean and focused.
Pivot Length:
Customize the sensitivity of pivot point detection. Smaller values detect more levels, while larger values focus on key levels.
Tolerance for Touch Detection (%):
Adjust the grouping tolerance as a percentage of the price. For example, 1% groups levels that are within 1% of each other.
How to Use
Apply the Script:
Add the script to your TradingView chart, and it will automatically detect and plot support and resistance levels.
Analyze the Levels:
Use Resistance Levels (red lines) as potential sell zones or areas to place stop-loss orders above.
Use Support Levels (green lines) as potential buy zones or areas to place stop-loss orders below.
Customize for Your Trading Style:
Adjust the inputs to match your preferred strategy and the timeframe or asset you're analyzing.
Example Use Case
Imagine you're analyzing a stock:
Resistance Level: The script identifies resistance at $150 with 3 touches. This might be a potential sell zone if the price struggles to break through.
Support Level: The script identifies support at $130 with 4 touches. This might be a potential buy zone if the price shows signs of bouncing upward.
Key Features
Automatically detects and plots support and resistance levels.
Tracks the number of price touches to filter out weak levels.
Adapts dynamically to price ranges using a percentage-based tolerance.
Fully customizable to suit different trading styles and assets.
Clean and professional chart display with a limit on the number of lines.

Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals [Bitwardex]⚙️🧠Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals
🔷Overview
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals is a Pine Script™ v6 indicator designed to visualize market trends and generate signals through a combination of volatility clustering, Gaussian smoothing, and adaptive trend calculations. Built as an overlay indicator, it integrates advanced techniques inspired by machine learning concepts, such as K-Means clustering, to adapt to changing market conditions. The script is highly customizable, includes a backtesting module, and supports alert conditions, making it suitable for traders exploring trend-based strategies and developers studying volatility-driven indicator design.
🔷Functionality
The indicator performs the following core functions:
• Volatility Clustering: Uses K-Means clustering to categorize market volatility into high, medium, and low states, adjusting trend sensitivity accordingly.
• Trend Calculation: Computes adaptive trend lines (SmartTrend) based on volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX filters.
• Signal Generation: Identifies potential buy and sell points through trend line crossovers and directional confirmation.
• Backtesting Module: Tracks trade outcomes based on the SmartTrend3 value, displaying win rate and total trades.
• Visualization: Plots trend lines with gradient colors and optional signal markers (bullish 🐮 and bearish 🐻).
• Alerts: Provides configurable alerts for trend shifts and volatility state changes.
🔷Technical Methodology
Volatility Clustering with K-Means
The indicator employs a K-Means clustering algorithm to classify market volatility, measured via the Average True Range (ATR), into three distinct clusters:
• Data Collection: Gathers ATR values over a user-defined training period (default: 100 bars).
• Centroid Initialization: Sets initial centroids at the highest, lowest, and midpoint ATR values within the training period.
• Iterative Clustering: Assigns ATR data points to the nearest centroid, recalculates centroid means, and repeats until convergence.
• Dynamic Adjustment: Assigns a volatility state (high, medium, or low) based on the closest centroid, adjusting the trend factor (e.g., tighter for high volatility, wider for low volatility).
This approach allows the indicator to adapt its sensitivity to varying market conditions, providing a data-driven foundation for trend calculations.
🔷Gaussian Smoothing
To enhance signal clarity and reduce noise, the indicator applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to:
• RSI: Smooths the Relative Strength Index (calculated from OHLC4) to filter short-term fluctuations.
• SmartTrend: Smooths the primary trend line for a more stable output.
The Gaussian kernel uses a sigma value derived from the user-defined smoothing length, ensuring mathematically consistent noise reduction.
🔷SmartTrend Calculation
The pineSmartTrend function is the core of the indicator, producing three trend lines:
• SmartTrend: The primary trend line, calculated using a volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX conditions.
• SmartTrend2: A secondary trend line with a wider factor (base factor * 1.382) for signal confirmation.
SmartTrend3: The average of SmartTrend and SmartTrend2, used for plotting and backtesting.
Key components of the calculation include:
• Dynamic Standard Deviation: Scales based on ATR relative to its 50-period smoothed average, with multipliers (1.0 to 1.4) applied according to volatility thresholds.
• RSI and ADX Filters: Requires RSI > 50 for bullish trends or < 50 for bearish trends, alongside ADX > 15 and rising to confirm trend strength.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands: Constructs upper and lower bands around price action, adjusted by the volatility cluster’s dynamic factor.
🔷Signal Generation
The generate_signals function generates signals as follows:
• Buy Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses above SmartTrend2 and the price is above SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses below SmartTrend2 and the price is below SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
Directional Logic: Tracks trend direction to filter out conflicting signals, ensuring alignment with the broader market context.
Signals are visualized as small circles with bullish (🐮) or bearish (🐻) emojis, with an option to toggle visibility.
🔷Backtesting
The get_backtest function evaluates signal outcomes using the SmartTrend3 value (rather than closing prices) to align with the trend-based methodology.
It tracks:
• Total Trades: Counts completed long and short trades.
• Win Rate: Calculates the percentage of trades where SmartTrend3 moves favorably (higher for longs, lower for shorts).
Position Management: Closes opposite positions before opening new ones, simulating a single-position trading system.
Results are displayed in a table at the top-right of the chart, showing win rate and total trades. Note that backtest results reflect the indicator’s internal logic and should not be interpreted as predictive of real-world performance.
🔷Visualization and Alerts
• Trend Lines: SmartTrend3 is plotted with gradient colors reflecting trend direction and volatility cluster, accompanied by a secondary line for visual clarity.
• Signal Markers: Optional buy/sell signals are plotted as small circles with customizable colors.
• Alerts: Supports alerts for:
• Bullish and bearish trend shifts (confirmed on bar close).
Transitions to high, medium, or low volatility states.
🔷Input Parameters
• ATR Length (default: 14): Period for ATR calculation, used in volatility clustering.
• Period (default: 21): Common period for RSI, ADX, and standard deviation calculations.
• Base SmartTrend Factor (default: 2.0): Base multiplier for volatility-adjusted bands.
• SmartTrend Smoothing Length (default: 10): Length for Gaussian smoothing of the trend line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals? (default: true): Enables/disables signal markers.
• Bullish/Bearish Color: Customizable colors for trend lines and signals.
🔷Usage Instructions
• Apply to Chart: Add the indicator to any TradingView chart.
• Configure Inputs: Adjust parameters to align with your trading style or market conditions (e.g., shorter ATR length for faster markets).
• Interpret Output:
• Trend Lines: Use SmartTrend3’s direction and color to gauge market bias.
• Signals: Monitor bullish (🐮) and bearish (🐻) markers for potential entry/exit points.
• Backtest Table: Review win rate and total trades to understand the indicator’s behavior in historical data.
• Set Alerts: Configure alerts for trend shifts or volatility changes to support manual or automated trading workflows.
• Combine with Analysis: Use the indicator alongside other tools or market context, as it is designed to complement, not replace, comprehensive analysis.
🔷Technical Notes
• Data Requirements: Requires at least 100 bars for accurate volatility clustering. Ensure sufficient historical data is loaded.
• Market Suitability: The indicator is designed for trend detection and may perform differently in ranging or volatile markets due to its reliance on RSI and ADX filters.
• Backtesting Scope: The backtest module uses SmartTrend3 values, which may differ from price-based outcomes. Results are for informational purposes only.
• Computational Intensity: The K-Means clustering and Gaussian smoothing may increase processing time on lower timeframes or with large datasets.
🔷For Developers
The script is modular, well-commented, encouraging reuse and modification with proper attribution.
Key functions include:
• gaussianSmooth: Applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to any data series.
• pineSmartTrend: Computes adaptive trend lines with volatility and momentum filters.
• getDynamicFactor: Adjusts trend sensitivity based on volatility clusters.
• get_backtest: Evaluates signal performance using SmartTrend3.
Developers can extend these functions for custom indicators or strategies, leveraging the volatility clustering and smoothing methodologies. The K-Means implementation is particularly useful for adaptive volatility analysis.
🔷Limitations
• The indicator is not predictive and should be used as part of a broader trading strategy.
• Performance varies by market, timeframe, and parameter settings, requiring user experimentation.
• Backtest results are based on historical data and internal logic, not real-world trading conditions.
• Volatility clustering assumes sufficient historical data; incomplete data may affect accuracy.

Supertrend X2 + CalcSize Calculator:
Size Calculator is a risk management tool that helps traders position themselves intelligently by calculating optimal position size, stop loss, and take profit levels based on account capital, ATR volatility, and personal risk tolerance. It takes the guesswork out of sizing so you can focus on execution.
Features:
✅ Risk-based position sizing
✅ ATR-based stop loss & take profit levels
✅ Dynamic leverage estimation
✅ Support for long and short positions
✅ Visual display of key levels and metrics via table
✅ Works across any timeframe with locked timeframe support
How It Works:
This tool computes the ideal position size as a % of account capital based on how much you're willing to risk per trade and how far your stop loss is (in ATR units). It calculates corresponding stop loss and take profit prices, and visually plots them along with a floating table of metrics. You can lock the timeframe used for ATR and price, keeping your risk logic stable even when changing chart views.
Customizable Inputs:
Account capital and risk tolerance
ATR-based stop loss & take profit multiples
Trade direction (Long or Short)

Dual SuperTrend:
The Dual Supertrend indicator enhances the classic Supertrend strategy by layering two customizable Supertrend signals with independent ATR settings. This setup gives you a deeper, more nuanced read on trend strength and potential entry zones.
Features:
✅ Two Supertrend lines (each with adjustable ATR periods and multipliers)
✅ Optional Heikin Ashi candle smoothing for noise reduction
✅ Color-coded trend background for fast visual analysis
✅ Multi-timeframe trend table overlay (customizable)
✅ Built-in signal logic to identify "Long", "Short", or "N/A" zones
✅ Built-in alerts from Long and Short Entry Zones
How It Works:
The script calculates two Supertrend levels using separate ATR settings. Trend direction is derived from the relationship between price and each band. When the larger (slower) Supertrend flips and the smaller (faster) confirms, it signals a potential entry. The multi-timeframe table helps you align trades across different timeframes.
Customizable Inputs:
ATR Periods & Multipliers for both Supertrends
Timeframes for entry zone detection (up to 4)
Enable/disable Heikin Ashi candles for smoother trend detection
Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based)
This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes.
What Does It Do?
Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior.
Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals:
SC (Selling Climax)
AR (Automatic Rally)
ST (Secondary Test)
BC (Buying Climax)
DAR (Automatic Reaction)
DST (Secondary Test - Distribution)
Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement.
Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals.
Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals.
How Does It Work?
RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable).
Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable).
Trend Box Drawing:
When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range.
If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution).
Wyckoff Structural Points:
SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold.
AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC.
ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR.
How to Use It
Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise.
Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology.
Box colors help quickly identify market phase:
Green box: Likely Accumulation
Red box: Likely Distribution
Triangular markers show key signals:
SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points
BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points
Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases.

What Is the Wyckoff Method?
The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements.
Wyckoff’s 5 Phases:
Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices.
Markup: Price begins trending upwards.
Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders.
Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand.
Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations.
This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution).
Extra Notes
Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles.
Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style.
Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates.
This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.
MAD Trend Detector ~ C H I P AMAD Trend Detector ~ C H I P A is a custom trend detection tool designed to identify meaningful price deviations using Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) logic layered over a smoothed price baseline.
It uses:
A user-selectable source (Close, High, Low, etc.)
A configurable EMA or SMA as the core smoothing layer
Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) to measure typical price dispersion
A user-adjustable MAD multiplier to fine-tune trend sensitivity
Trend bands that expand dynamically based on local volatility
This setup highlights breakout conditions when price detaches meaningfully from its typical behavior — helping traders detect trend acceleration, volatility breakouts, and directional shifts with minimal lag and reduced noise.
Candle coloring responds directly to trend status, with electric blue and red visuals for clear on-chart recognition.
Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX
---
### OVERVIEW
**Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle.
The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL
1. **ANCHOR BAR**
*You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**.
2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7**
• `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance.
• `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance.
3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14**
• Price must stay inside ` `.
• Any violation aborts the test; no box is created.
4. **ARMED STATE**
• If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear:
– **Green** at `rangeHigh`
– **Red** at `rangeLow`
• The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout.
5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION**
• **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**.
• **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**.
• Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again.
• Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge.
6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN**
• After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS
• **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence.
• **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows.
• **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks.
• **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable).
• **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box.
---
### USER WORKFLOW
1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open).
2. Watch live as the script:
– Paints the seven-bar range.
– Draws validation lines.
– Locks in the box on breakout.
3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades.
---
### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break.
• **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility.
• **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket.
• **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk.
---
### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS
• **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open).
• **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile).
• **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.
Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES
---
### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.
---
### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.
---
### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.
---
### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
**Auto Darvas Boxes** packages one of the market’s oldest yet still potent price-action frameworks into a modern, self-resetting indicator. Whether you trade equities, futures, crypto, or forex, the script highlights genuine contraction-expansion sequences—Darvas’s original “boxes”—with zero manual effort, letting you focus solely on execution and risk.
Custom Performance TableThis script generates a table designed to provide a concise yet highly customizable overview of the performance of multiple financial instruments, displayed directly on the chart. The table can include up to 40 tickers, each individually configurable, with values updated in real time based on either the current chart timeframe or a specific user-selected timeframe.
NOTE : The update frequency of the table values depends on the refresh rate of the chart's main ticker to which the indicator is applied. To ensure a consistent and reliable data feed, especially when monitoring heterogeneous instruments, it is recommended to apply the indicator to a highly liquid and continuously traded asset, such as BTCUSD.
PERFORMANCE CALCULATION MODES
You can choose from three different performance calculation modes:
1) Change % (Percentage Change)
Displays the percentage change of the current price compared to the previous candle within the selected timeframe.
(Current Price - Previous Price) / Previous Price * 100
This mode provides an immediate and straightforward measure of each instrument's percentage movement, useful for quick visual comparisons of relative strength among assets.
2) Z-Score
The Z-Score measures how much the current price variation deviates from the historical average variation, relative to the standard deviation of those variations.
(Current Variation - Average Variation) / Standard Deviation of Variations
The result indicates how statistically unusual a movement is:
- Values near 0 suggest normal variations.
- Values above ±2 indicate statistically significant deviations.
This is a valuable tool for identifying overbought/oversold conditions or market stress events and is often used in mean reversion strategies.
NOTE : Due to technical constraints, Z-Score can only be calculated when the selected timeframe matches the chart's timeframe exactly.
3) RAROC (Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital)
RAROC expresses an asset's performance in relation to the risk taken, measured through its volatility (standard deviation of price).
Percentage Change / Standard Deviation of Price
It allows for an assessment of return efficiency in relation to volatility.
A high RAROC value indicates a high return relative to the risk, making it a useful tool for comparing assets with different risk profiles. It is especially suitable for portfolio selection and allocation purposes.
TABLE CONFIGURATION
Each ticker can be customized with its own label, colors, and position in the table.
Each row can display the ticker name or a custom label, which, at the user's discretion, can either replace the name or be shown as an informational tooltip.
The table can be placed anywhere on the chart using horizontal and vertical offset parameters. Thanks to offset support, you can, for example, create financial market overview layouts. This can be done by completely “cleaning” the chart from price and indicators using TradingView settings, and then displaying multiple tables simultaneously (see the example chart published here).
Advanced customization options are also available for the table's appearance, including font settings, colors, borders, and more.
CALCULATION TIMEFRAME
The indicator allows the user to force a specific timeframe (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) when applied to intraday charts.
However, for Z-Score mode, the selected timeframe must match the chart's timeframe exactly to ensure correct computation. Otherwise, the script will halt until settings are properly adjusted.
USAGE NOTES
Custom Performance Table is a flexible and adaptable tool, suitable for both intraday operations and medium- to long-term analysis. It is designed for traders and analysts who need to compare assets based on quantitative metrics, whether simple (like percentage change) or more advanced and risk-adjusted (such as Z-Score and RAROC).
Alpha Beta Gamma with Volume CandleAlpha Beta Gamma with Volume Candle
This Pine Script indicator analyzes price dynamics and volume activity to assist traders in identifying momentum, reversals, and key price levels. It calculates three proprietary metrics—Alpha, Beta, and Gamma—based on a user-selected price type (e.g., Open, Close, HL2) and timeframe, using a lookback period (default 37 bars). These metrics normalize price movements relative to the range of highs and lows, helping traders gauge market strength and positioning.
How It Works:
Alpha: Measures the distance of the selected price from the lowest price over the lookback period, normalized by the period length.
Beta: Represents the full price range (high minus low) over the lookback period, scaled by the period length.
Gamma: Normalizes the price’s position within the high-low range, providing a 0–1 scale for relative positioning.
Volume Analysis: The script classifies candles based on volume thresholds relative to a simple moving average (SMA, default 400 bars). High volume (≥ 2x SMA), low volume (≤ 0.5x SMA), and strong signal volume (≥ 1.5x SMA) trigger distinct candle colors to highlight bullish (e.g., deep blue, violet) or bearish (e.g., aqua, pink) conditions.
Custom Bands: Nine horizontal levels (0 to 1, divided into eight equal parts) act as dynamic support/resistance zones, useful for grid-based trading or breakout strategies.
How to Use:
Inputs:
Chart Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price data (e.g., 1H, 1D).
Price Type: Choose the price metric (e.g., Close, HL2) for calculations.
ABG Length: Adjust the lookback period (default 37) for sensitivity.
Volume MA Length: Set the SMA period for volume analysis (default 400).
Volume Thresholds: Customize high, low, and strong volume multipliers.
Visual Settings: Toggle labels, custom bands, and table display; adjust line styles, label sizes, and table positions.
Interpretation:
Use Alpha, Beta, and Gamma plots to assess price momentum and range dynamics.
Monitor colored candles for volume-driven signals (e.g., violet for strong bullish volume).
Leverage custom bands for support/resistance or breakout trading.
Check the table for real-time ABG values and percentage changes.
Settings Tips:
For scalping, reduce the ABG Length (e.g., 20) and use a shorter timeframe (e.g., 5M).
For swing trading, increase the Volume MA Length (e.g., 600) for more stable volume signals.
Enable labels and custom bands for visual clarity on key levels.
This indicator is versatile for various trading styles, combining price-based metrics with volume analysis to enhance decision-making.
CyberCandle SwiftEdgeCyberCandle SwiftEdge
Overview
CyberCandle SwiftEdge is a cutting-edge, AI-inspired trading indicator designed for traders seeking precision and clarity in trend-following and swing trading. Powered by SwiftEdge, it combines Heikin Ashi candles, a gradient-colored Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) to deliver clear buy and sell signals. Featuring glowing visuals, dynamic signal icons, and a customizable RSI dashboard in the top-right corner, this script offers a futuristic interface for identifying high-probability trade setups on various timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H).
What It Does
CyberCandle SwiftEdge integrates three powerful components to generate actionable trading signals:
Heikin Ashi Candles: Smooths price action to highlight trends, reducing market noise and making reversals easier to spot.
Gradient EMA: A 100-period EMA with dynamic color transitions (blue/cyan for uptrends, red/pink for downtrends) to confirm market direction.
RSI Dashboard: A neon-lit display showing RSI levels, indicating overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral (30-70) conditions.
Buy and sell signals are marked with prominent, glowing icons (triangles and arrows) based on trend direction, momentum, and specific Heikin Ashi patterns. The script’s customizable parameters allow traders to tailor the strategy to their preferences, balancing signal frequency and precision.
How It Works
The strategy leverages the synergy of Heikin Ashi, EMA, and RSI to filter trades and highlight opportunities:
Trend Direction: The price must be above the EMA for buy signals (bullish trend) or below for sell signals (bearish trend). The EMA’s gradient color shifts based on its slope, visually reinforcing trend strength.
Momentum Confirmation: RSI must exceed a user-defined threshold (default: 50) for buy signals or fall below it for sell signals, ensuring momentum supports the trade.
Candle Patterns: Buy signals require a green Heikin Ashi candle (close > open), with the two prior candles having minimal upper wicks (≤5% of candle body) and being red (indicating a retracement). Sell signals require a red candle, minimal lower wicks, and two prior green candles.
RSI Dashboard: Positioned in the top-right corner, it features a glowing circle (red for overbought, green for oversold, blue for neutral), the current RSI value, and a status indicator (triangle for extremes, square for neutral). This provides instant momentum insights without cluttering the chart.
By combining Heikin Ashi’s trend clarity, EMA’s directional filter, and RSI’s momentum validation, CyberCandle SwiftEdge minimizes false signals and highlights trades with strong potential. Its vibrant, AI-like visuals make it easy to interpret at a glance.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: In TradingView, search for "CyberCandle SwiftEdge" and add it to your chart. Set the chart to Heikin Ashi candles for optimal compatibility.
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: Large green triangles and arrows appear below candles when the price is above the EMA, RSI is above the buy threshold (default: 50), and conditions for a bullish retracement are met. Consider entering a long position with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Sell Signal: Large red triangles and arrows appear above candles when the price is below the EMA, RSI is below the sell threshold (default: 50), and conditions for a bearish retracement are met. Consider entering a short position.
RSI Dashboard: Monitor the top-right dashboard. A red circle (RSI > 70) suggests caution for buys, a green circle (RSI < 30) indicates potential buying opportunities, and a blue circle (RSI 30-70) signals neutrality.
Customize Parameters: Open the indicator’s settings to adjust:
EMA Length (default: 100): Increase (e.g., 200) for longer-term trends or decrease (e.g., 50) for shorter-term sensitivity.
RSI Length (default: 14): Adjust for more (e.g., 7) or less (e.g., 21) responsive momentum signals.
RSI Buy/Sell Thresholds (default: 50): Set higher (e.g., 55) for buys or lower (e.g., 45) for sells to require stronger momentum.
Wick Tolerance (default: 0.05): Increase (e.g., 0.1) to allow larger wicks, generating more signals, or decrease (e.g., 0.02) for stricter conditions.
Require Retracement (default: true): Disable to remove the two-candle retracement requirement, increasing signal frequency.
Trading: Use signals in conjunction with the RSI dashboard and market context. For example, avoid buy signals if the RSI dashboard is red (overbought). Always apply proper risk management, such as setting stop-losses based on recent lows/highs.
What Makes It Original
CyberCandle SwiftEdge stands out due to its futuristic, AI-inspired visual design and user-friendly customization:
Neon Aesthetics: Glowing Heikin Ashi candles, gradient EMA, and dynamic signal icons (triangles and arrows) with RSI-driven transparency create a high-tech, immersive experience.
RSI Dashboard: A compact, top-right display with a neon circle, RSI value, and adaptive status indicator (triangle/square) provides instant momentum insights without cluttering the chart.
Customizability: Users can fine-tune EMA length, RSI parameters, wick tolerance, and retracement requirements via TradingView’s settings, balancing signal frequency and precision.
Integrated Approach: The synergy of Heikin Ashi’s trend clarity, EMA’s directional strength, and RSI’s momentum validation offers a cohesive strategy that reduces false signals.
Why This Combination?
The script combines Heikin Ashi, EMA, and RSI for a complementary effect:
Heikin Ashi smooths price fluctuations, making it ideal for identifying sustained trends and retracements, which are critical for the strategy’s signal logic.
EMA provides a reliable trend filter, ensuring signals align with the broader market direction. Its gradient color enhances visual trend recognition.
RSI adds momentum context, confirming that signals occur during favorable conditions (e.g., RSI > 50 for buys). The dashboard makes RSI intuitive, even for non-technical users.
Together, these components create a balanced system that captures trend reversals after retracements, validated by momentum, with a visually engaging interface that simplifies decision-making.
Tips
Best used on volatile assets (e.g., BTC/USD, EUR/USD) and higher timeframes (1H, 4H) for clearer trends.
Experiment with parameters in the settings to match your trading style (e.g., increase wick tolerance for more signals).
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance) for higher-confidence trades.
