Uptrick: Volatility Weighted CloudIntroduction
The Volatility Weighted Cloud (VWC) is a trend-tracking overlay that combines adaptive volatility-based bands with a multi-source smoothed price cloud to visualize market bias. It provides users with a dynamic structure that adapts to volatility conditions while maintaining a persistent visual record of trend direction. By incorporating configurable smoothing techniques, percentile-ranked volatility, and multi-line cloud construction, the indicator allows traders to interpret price context more effectively without relying on raw price movement alone.
Overview
The script builds a smoothed price basis using the open, and close prices independently, and uses these to construct a layered visual cloud. This cloud serves both as a reference for price structure and a potential area of dynamic support and resistance. Alongside this cloud, adaptive upper and lower bands are plotted using volatility that scales with percentile rank. When price closes above or below these bands, the script interprets that as a breakout and updates the trend bias accordingly.
Candle coloring is persistent and reflects the most recent confirmed signal. Labels can optionally be placed on the chart when the trend bias flips, giving traders additional visual reference points. The indicator is designed to be both flexible and visually compact, supporting different strategies and timeframes through its detailed configuration options.
Originality
This script introduces originality through its combined use of percentile-ranked volatility, adaptive envelope sizing, and multi-source cloud construction. Unlike static-band indicators, the Volatility Weighted Cloud adjusts its band width based on where current volatility ranks within a defined lookback range. This dynamic scaling allows for smoother signal behavior during low-volatility environments and more responsive behavior during high-volatility phases.
Additionally, instead of using a single basis line, the indicator computes two separate smoothed lines for open and close. These are rendered into a shaded visual cloud that reflects price structure more completely than traditional moving average overlays. The use of ALMA and MAD, both less commonly applied in volatility-band overlays, adds further control over smoothing behavior and volatility measurement, enhancing its adaptability across different market types.
Inputs
Group: Core
Basis Length (short-term): The number of bars used for calculating the primary basis line. Affects how quickly the basis responds to price changes.
Basis Type: Option to choose between EMA and ALMA. EMA provides a standard exponential average; ALMA offers a centered, Gaussian-weighted average with reduced lag.
ALMA Offset: Determines the balance point of the ALMA window. Only applies when ALMA is selected.
Sigma: Sets the width of the ALMA smoothing window, influencing how much smoothing is applied.
Basis Smoothing EMA: Adds additional EMA-based smoothing to the computed basis line for noise reduction.
Group: Volatility & Bands
Volatility: Choose between StDev (standard deviation) and MAD (median absolute deviation) for measuring price volatility.
Vol Length (short-term): Length of the window used for calculating volatility.
Vol Smoothing EMA: Smooths the raw volatility value to stabilize band behavior.
Min Multiplier: Minimum multiplier applied to volatility when forming the adaptive bands.
Max Multiplier: Maximum multiplier applied at high volatility percentile.
Volatility Rank Lookback: Number of bars used to calculate the percentile rank of current volatility.
Show Adaptive Bands: Enables or disables the display of upper and lower volatility bands on the chart.
Group: Trend Switch Labels
Show Trend Switch Labels: Toggles the appearance of labels when the trend direction changes.
Label Anchor: Defines whether the labels are anchored to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line.
ATR Length (offset): Length used for calculating ATR, which determines label offset distance.
ATR Offset (multiplier): Multiplies the ATR value to place labels away from price bars for better visibility.
Label Size: Allows selection of label size (tiny to huge) to suit different chart setups.
Features
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The indicator calculates volatility using either standard deviation or MAD. It then applies an EMA smoothing layer and scales the band width dynamically based on the percentile rank of volatility over a user-defined lookback window. This avoids fixed-width bands and allows the indicator to adapt to changing volatility regimes in real time.
Volatility Method Options: Users can switch between two volatility measurement methods:
➤ Standard Deviation (StDev): Captures overall price dispersion, but may be sensitive to spikes.
➤ Median Absolute Deviation (MAD): A more robust measure that reduces the effect of outliers, making the bands less jumpy during erratic price behavior.
Basis Type Options: The core price basis used for cloud and bands can be built from:
➤ Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Fast-reacting and widely used in trend systems.
➤ Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA): A smoother, more centered alternative that offers greater control through offset and sigma parameters.
Multi-Line Basis Cloud: The cloud is formed by plotting two individually smoothed basis lines from open and close prices. A filled area is created between the open and close basis lines. This cloud serves as a dynamic support or resistance zone, allowing users to identify possible reversal areas. Price moving through or rejecting from the cloud can be interpreted contextually, especially when combined with band-based signals.
Persistent Trend Bias Coloring: The indicator uses the last confirmed breakout (above upper band or below lower band) to determine bias. This bias is reflected in the color of every subsequent candle, offering a persistent visual cue until a new signal is triggered. It helps simplify trend recognition, especially in choppy or sideways markets.
Trend Switch Labels: When enabled, the script places labeled markers at the exact bar where the bias direction switches. Labels are anchored either to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line, and spaced vertically using an ATR-based offset. This allows the trader to quickly locate historical trend transitions.
Alert Conditions: Two built-in alert conditions are available:
➤ Long Signal: Triggered when the close crosses above the upper adaptive band.
➤ Short Signal: Triggered when the close crosses below the lower adaptive band.
These conditions can be used for custom alerts, automation, or external signaling tools.
Display Control and Flexibility: Users can disable the adaptive bands for a cleaner layout while keeping the basis cloud and candle coloring active. The indicator can be tuned for fast or slow response depending on the strategy in use, and is suitable for intraday, swing, or position trading.
Summary
The Volatility Weighted Cloud is a configurable trend-following overlay that uses adaptive volatility bands and a structured cloud system to help visualize market bias. By combining EMA or ALMA smoothing with percentile-ranked volatility and a four-line price structure, it provides a flexible and informative charting layer. Its key strengths lie in the use of dynamic envelopes, visually persistent trend indication, and clearly defined breakout zones that adapt to current volatility conditions.

Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout📌 Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout – Detect Breakouts Confirmed by Candles and Momentum Cycles
📖 Overview
The Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout indicator is a precision breakout detection tool that combines the power of:
• Adaptive Keltner Channels
• Dominant Cycle Period Analysis (Ehlers-inspired)
• Candlestick Pattern Recognition (Engulfing)
This multi-layered approach helps identify true breakout opportunities by filtering out noise and false signals, making it ideal for swing traders and intraday traders seeking high-probability directional moves.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Keltner Channel Envelope
A dynamic volatility channel based on the EMA and ATR defines the upper and lower bounds of price movement.
2. Engulfing Candle Detection
The script detects strong bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, which often signal trend reversals or momentum continuations.
3. Dominant Cycle Momentum (Ehlers-inspired)
Using a smoothed power oscillator derived from a detrended price series, the indicator assesses whether momentum is accelerating during the breakout — filtering out weak moves.
4. Signal Confirmation Logic
A signal is only shown when:
• An engulfing pattern is detected, and
• Price breaks out of the Keltner Channel, and
• Momentum (cycle power) is rising
5. Visual Feedback
• Breakout signals are plotted with “BUY” or “SELL” labels
• Faded green/red background highlights confirmed breakouts
• Optional display of engulfing candles with triangle markers
⸻
🛠️ Key Features
• ✅ Adaptive Keltner Channels
• ✅ Bullish/Bearish Engulfing Candle Recognition
• ✅ Ehlers-style Cycle Momentum Confirmation
• ✅ Background highlights for confirmed breakouts
• ✅ Optional candle pattern visualization
• ✅ Lightweight and Pine v6 compatible

MACD (The Moving Average Convergence Divergence)The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis to identify trends, measure their strength, and signal potential reversals. It is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA, creating the MACD line. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, known as the signal line, is then plotted to generate buy or sell signals. Positive MACD values suggest upward momentum, while negative values indicate downward momentum. Traders often watch for crossovers, divergences, and movements relative to the zero line to make informed decisions.
BOCS AdaptiveBOCS Adaptive Strategy - Automated Volatility Breakout System
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated trading strategy that detects consolidation patterns through volatility analysis and executes trades when price breaks out of these channels. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to current market volatility. The strategy closes positions partially at the first profit target and exits the remainder at the second target or stop loss.
TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
Price Normalization Process:
The strategy begins by normalizing price to create a consistent measurement scale. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). The current close price is then normalized using the formula: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low). This produces values between 0 and 1, allowing volatility analysis to work consistently across different instruments and price levels.
Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series. Standard deviation measures how much prices deviate from their average - higher values indicate volatility expansion, lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() functions to track when volatility reaches peaks and troughs over the detection length period (default 14 bars).
Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level, this signals the beginning of a consolidation phase. The strategy records this moment using ta.crossover(upper, lower) and begins tracking the highest and lowest prices during the consolidation. These become the channel boundaries. The duration between the crossover and current bar must exceed 10 bars minimum to avoid false channels from brief volatility spikes. Channels are drawn using box objects with the recorded high/low boundaries.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Two detection modes are available:
Strong Closes Mode (default): Breakout occurs when the candle body midpoint math.avg(close, open) exceeds the channel boundary. This filters out wick-only breaks.
Any Touch Mode: Breakout occurs when the close price exceeds the boundary.
When price closes above the upper channel boundary, a bullish breakout signal generates. When price closes below the lower boundary, a bearish breakout signal generates. The channel is then removed from the chart.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
The strategy uses request.security() to fetch ATR values from a specified timeframe, which can differ from the chart timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, you can use 1-minute ATR for more responsive calculations. The ATR is calculated using ta.atr(length) with a user-defined period (default 14).
Exit levels are calculated at the moment of breakout:
Long Entry Price = Upper channel boundary
Long TP1 = Entry + (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Long TP2 = Entry + (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Long SL = Entry - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
For short trades, the calculation inverts:
Short Entry Price = Lower channel boundary
Short TP1 = Entry - (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Short TP2 = Entry - (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Short SL = Entry + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Trade Execution Logic:
When a breakout occurs, the strategy checks if trading hours filter is satisfied (if enabled) and if position size equals zero (no existing position). If volume confirmation is enabled, it also verifies that current volume exceeds 1.2 times the 20-period simple moving average.
If all conditions are met:
strategy.entry() opens a position using the user-defined number of contracts
strategy.exit() immediately places a stop loss order
The code monitors price against TP1 and TP2 levels on each bar
When price reaches TP1, strategy.close() closes the specified number of contracts (e.g., if you enter with 3 contracts and set TP1 close to 1, it closes 1 contract). When price reaches TP2, it closes all remaining contracts. If stop loss is hit first, the entire position exits via the strategy.exit() order.
Volume Analysis System:
The strategy uses ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(timeframe) to fetch up volume, down volume, and volume delta from a specified timeframe. Three display modes are available:
Volume Mode: Shows total volume as bars scaled relative to the 20-period average
Comparison Mode: Shows up volume and down volume as separate bars above/below the channel midline
Delta Mode: Shows net volume delta (up volume - down volume) as bars, positive values above midline, negative below
The volume confirmation logic compares breakout bar volume to the 20-period SMA. If volume ÷ average > 1.2, the breakout is classified as "confirmed." When volume confirmation is enabled in settings, only confirmed breakouts generate trades.
INPUT PARAMETERS:

BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
Strategy performs best during trending or volatility expansion phases
Consolidation-heavy or choppy markets produce more false signals
Shorter timeframes require wider stop loss multipliers due to noise
Commission and slippage significantly impact performance on sub-5-minute charts
Volume confirmation generally improves win rate but reduces trade frequency
ATR multipliers should be optimized for specific instrument characteristics
COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price and volume data including forex pairs, stock indices, individual stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities, and futures contracts. Requires TradingView data feed that includes volume for volume confirmation features to function.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Stop losses execute via strategy.exit() and may not fill at exact levels during gaps or extreme volatility
request.security() on lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription
False breakouts inherent to breakout strategies cannot be completely eliminated
Performance varies significantly based on market regime (trending vs ranging)
Partial closing logic requires sufficient position size relative to TP1 close contracts setting

BB Crosses Optimized - [JTCAPITAL]BB Crosses Optimized - is a modified way to use Bollinger Bands combined with volatility filtering (ATR) and flexible smoothing methods for Trend-Following.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Source Selection & Smoothing
The script begins by letting the user select a preferred price source (default is Close, but options include Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.). This raw input is then passed through a smoothing process.
Multiple smoothing techniques can be chosen: SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, and FRAMA. Each method reduces short-term noise differently, ensuring flexibility for traders who prefer faster or slower reaction speeds in trend detection.
Bollinger Band Construction
Once the smoothed source is prepared, Bollinger Bands are calculated. The middle band is a moving average of the smoothed data over the defined BB Period . The upper and lower bands are then generated by adding and subtracting the Standard Deviation × Deviation multiplier . These dynamic bands capture volatility and help define breakout zones.
ATR Volatility Measurement
Parallel to the band calculation, the Average True Range (ATR) is computed over the chosen ATR Period . This measures market volatility. The ATR can optionally act as a filter, refining buy and sell levels so signals adapt to current market conditions rather than being fixed to price alone.
Bollinger Band Signals
-If the smoothed price closes above the upper band, a potential bullish event is marked.
-If the smoothed price closes below the lower band, a potential bearish event is marked.
Trend Line Construction
When a bullish event occurs, the script anchors a trend-following line beneath price. If ATR filtering is enabled, the line is set at Low – ATR , otherwise at the simple Low. Conversely, when a bearish event occurs, the line is anchored above price at High + ATR (or just High without the filter). The line is designed to only move in the direction of the trend—if price action does not exceed the prior value, the previous level is held. This prevents unnecessary whipsaws and keeps the indicator aligned with dominant momentum.
Final Trend Detection
The slope of the trend line defines the trend itself:
-Rising line → bullish trend.
-Falling line → bearish trend.
Visual Output
The indicator plots the trend line with dynamic coloring: Blue for bullish phases, Purple for bearish phases. A subtle filled background area emphasizes the active trend zone for clearer chart interpretation.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
- Buy Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes above the upper Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors below price (with or without ATR offset depending on settings).
- Sell Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes below the lower Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors above price (with or without ATR offset).
Additional filtering is possible via:
- ATR Toggle : Switch ATR on or off to adapt the strategy to either volatile or steady markets.
- Smoothing Method : Adjust smoothing to speed up or slow down responsiveness.
- Deviation Multiplier : Tight or wide bands adjust the sensitivity of signals.
Features and Parameters:
- Source : Choose between Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.
- Average Type : Options include SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, FRAMA.
- ATR Period : Defines how ATR volatility is measured.
- BB Period : Lookback length for Bollinger Band construction.
- Deviation : Multiplier for the standard deviation in Bollinger Bands.
- Smoothing Period : Controls how much the source data is smoothed.
- ATR Filter On/Off : Enables or disables ATR integration in signal calculation.
Specifications:
Smoothing (MA Types)
Smoothing is essential to reduce chart noise. By offering multiple MA choices, traders can balance between lag (SMA, RMA) and responsiveness (EMA, HMA, FRAMA). This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt across asset classes and trading styles.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands measure price deviation around a moving average. They help identify volatility expansion and contraction. In this script, the bands serve as breakout triggers—price crossing outside suggests momentum strong enough to sustain a trend.
Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion of price data around the mean. With a multiplier applied, it creates bands that contain a probabilistic portion of price action. Crossing beyond these suggests a higher likelihood of trend continuation.
ATR (Average True Range)
ATR measures the degree of volatility. Instead of simply reacting to price crossing the bands, ATR ensures the trend line placement adapts to current conditions. In volatile markets, wider buffers prevent premature signals; in calmer markets, tighter placement keeps signals responsive.
Trend Line Logic
The trend line only adjusts in the direction of the trend. If new values do not exceed the prior, the line remains unchanged. This prevents false reversals and makes the line a reliable visual confirmation of trend direction.
Signal Detection
The indicator does not repaint: signals are based on confirmed closes relative to the Bollinger Bands. This makes it more reliable for both live trading and backtesting scenarios.
Visual Enhancements
The use of dual plots and fill shading creates a clearer separation of bullish vs. bearish phases. This helps traders visually align entries and exits without second-guessing.
Enjoy!

Market Pressure Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
The Market Pressure Oscillator is an advanced technical indicator for TradingView, enabling traders to identify potential trend reversals and momentum shifts through candle-based pressure analysis and divergence detection. It combines a smoothed oscillator with moving average signals, overbought/oversold levels, and divergence visualization, enhanced by customizable gradients, dynamic band colors, and alerts for quick decision-making.
█ CONCEPT
The indicator measures buying or selling pressure based on candle body size (open-to-close difference) and direction, with optional smoothing for clarity and divergence detection between price action and the oscillator. It relies solely on candle data, offering insights into trend strength, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversals with a customizable visual presentation.
█ WHY USE IT?
- Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences to reinforce signals, especially near overbought/oversold zones.
- Candle Pressure Analysis: Measures pressure based on candle body size, normalized to a ±100 scale.
- Signal Generation: Provides buy/sell signals via overbought/oversold crossovers, zero-line crossovers, moving average zero-line crossovers, and dynamic band color changes.
- Visual Clarity: Uses dynamic colors, gradients, and fill layers for intuitive chart analysis.
Flexibility: Extensive settings allow customization to individual trading preferences.
█ HOW IT WORKS?
- Candle Pressure Calculation: Computes candle body size as math.abs(close - open), normalized against the average body size over a lookback period (avgBody = ta.sma(body, len)). - Candle direction (bullish: +1, bearish: -1, neutral: 0) is multiplied by body weight to derive pressure.
- Cumulative Pressure: Sums pressure values over the lookback period (Lookback Length) and normalizes to ±100 relative to the maximum possible value.
- Smoothing: Optionally applies EMA (Smoothing Length) to normalized pressure.
- Moving Average: Calculates SMA (Moving Average Length) for trend confirmation (Moving Average (SMA)).
- Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish/bearish divergences by comparing price and oscillator pivot highs/lows within a specified range (Pivot Length). Divergence signals appear with a delay equal to the Pivot Length.
- Signals: Generates signals for:
Crossing oversold upward (buy) or overbought downward (sell).
Crossing the zero line by the oscillator or moving average (buy/sell).
Bullish/bearish divergences, marked with labels, enhancing signals, especially near overbought/oversold zones.
Dynamic band color changes when the moving average crosses MA overbought/oversold thresholds (green for oversold, red for overbought).
- Visualization: Plots the oscillator and moving average with dynamic colors, gradient fills, transparent bands, and labels, with customizable overbought/oversold levels.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergences, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero-line crossovers (oscillator and moving average).
█ SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Lookback Length: Period for aggregating candle pressure (default: 14).
- Smoothing Length (EMA): EMA length for smoothing the oscillator (default: 1). Higher values smooth the signal but may reduce signal frequency; adjust overbought/oversold levels accordingly.
- Moving Average Length (SMA): SMA length for the moving average (default: 14, minval=1). Higher values make SMA a trend indicator, requiring adjusted MA overbought/oversold levels.
- Pivot Length (Left/Right): Candles for detecting pivot highs/lows in divergence calculations (default: 2, minval=1). Higher values reduce noise but add delay equal to the set value.
- Enable Divergence Detection: Enables divergence detection (default: true).
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Thresholds for the oscillator (default: 30/-30) and moving average (default: 10/-10). For the moving average, no arrows appear; bands change color from gray to green (oversold) or red (overbought), reinforcing entry signals.
- Signal Type: Select signals to display: "None", "Overbought/Oversold", "Zero Line", "MA Zero Line", "All" (default: "Overbought/Oversold").
- Colors and Gradients: Customize colors for bullish/bearish oscillator, moving average, zero line, overbought/oversold levels, and divergence labels.
- Transparency: Adjust gradient fill transparency (default: 70, minval=0, maxval=100) and band/label transparency (default: 40, minval=0, maxval=100) for consistent visuals.
- Visualizations: Enable/disable moving average, gradients for zero/overbought/oversold levels, and gradient fills.
█ USAGE EXAMPLES
- Momentum Analysis: Observe the MPO Oscillator above 0 for bullish momentum or below 0 for bearish momentum. The SMA, being smoother, reacts slower and can confirm trend direction as a noise filter.
- Reversal Signals: Look for buy triangles when the oscillator crosses oversold upward, especially when the SMA is below the MA oversold threshold and the band turns green. Similarly, seek sell triangles when crossing overbought downward, with the SMA above the MA overbought threshold and the band turning red.
- Using Divergences: Treat bullish (green labels) and bearish (red labels) divergences as reinforcement for other signals, especially near overbought/oversold zones, indicating stronger potential trend reversals.
- Customization: Adjust lookback length, smoothing, and moving average length to specific instruments and timeframes to minimize false signals.
█ USER NOTES
Combine the indicator with tools like Fibonacci levels or pivot points to enhance accuracy.
Test different settings for lookback length, smoothing, and moving average length on your chosen instrument and timeframe to find optimal values.
Adaptive Market Regime Identifier [LuciTech]What it Does:
AMRI visually identifies and categorizes the market into six primary regimes directly on your chart using a color-coded background. These regimes are:
-Strong Bull Trend: Characterized by robust upward momentum and low volatility.
-Weak Bull Trend: Indicates upward momentum with less conviction or higher volatility.
-Strong Bear Trend: Defined by powerful downward momentum and low volatility.
-Weak Bear Trend: Suggests downward momentum with less force or increased volatility.
-Consolidation: Periods of low volatility and sideways price action.
-Volatile Chop: High volatility without clear directional bias, often seen during transitions or indecision.
By clearly delineating these states, AMRI helps traders quickly grasp the overarching market context, enabling them to apply strategies best suited for the current conditions (e.g., trend-following in strong trends, range-bound strategies in consolidation, or caution in volatile chop).
How it Works (The Adaptive Edge)
AMRI achieves its adaptive classification by continuously analyzing three core market dimensions, with each component dynamically adjusting to current market conditions:
1.Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA): The indicator utilizes the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) to gauge trend direction and strength. KAMA is unique because it adjusts its smoothing period based on market efficiency (noise vs. direction). In trending markets, it becomes more responsive, while in choppy markets, it smooths out noise, providing a more reliable trend signal than static moving averages.
2.Adaptive Average True Range (ATR): Volatility is measured using an adaptive version of the Average True Range. Similar to KAMA, this ATR dynamically adjusts its sensitivity to reflect real-time changes in market volatility. This helps AMRI differentiate between calm, ranging markets and highly volatile, directional moves or chaotic periods.
3.Normalized Slope Analysis: The slope of the KAMA is normalized against the Adaptive ATR. This normalization provides a robust measure of trend strength that is relative to the current market volatility, making the thresholds for strong and weak trends more meaningful across different instruments and timeframes.
These adaptive components work in concert to provide a nuanced and responsive classification of the market regime, minimizing lag and reducing false signals often associated with fixed-parameter indicators.
Key Features & Originality:
-Dynamic Regime Classification: AMRI stands out by not just indicating trend or range, but by classifying the type of market regime, offering a higher-level analytical framework. This is a meta-indicator that provides context for all other trading tools.
-Adaptive Core Metrics: The use of KAMA and an Adaptive ATR ensures that the indicator remains relevant and responsive across diverse market conditions, automatically adjusting to changes in volatility and trend efficiency. This self-adjusting nature is a significant advantage over indicators with static lookback periods.
-Visual Clarity: The color-coded background provides an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of the current market regime, reducing cognitive load and allowing for quicker decision-making.
-Contextual Trading: By identifying the prevailing regime, AMRI empowers traders to select and apply strategies that are most effective for that specific environment, helping to avoid costly mistakes of using a trend-following strategy in a ranging market, or vice-versa.
-Originality: While components like KAMA and ATR are known, their adaptive integration into a comprehensive, multi-regime classification system, combined with normalized slope analysis for trend strength, offers a novel approach to market analysis not commonly found in publicly available indicators.

Stiffness IndexStiffness Index Indicator
Overview
The Stiffness Index is a technical analysis indicator created by Markos Katsanos and first introduced in the November 2018 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. This indicator attempts to recognize strong price trends by counting the number of times price was above the 100-day moving average during the indicator period.
Core Philosophy
The premise is the fewer number of times price penetrates the MA, the stronger the trend. The philosophy behind this indicator is that traders should trade when the trend is at its strongest point - when the trend is at its "stiffest". Based on the observation that in strong long-lasting uptrends, price seldom penetrates the 100-bar simple moving average, this indicator helps assess the quality and strength of an uptrend.
How It Works
The Stiffness Index operates through several key components:
1. Moving Average Baseline: Uses a 100-period moving average as the primary reference level
2. Volatility Threshold: Includes a volatility threshold to eliminate minor movements - typically 0.2 standard deviations to reject minimal penetrations above the moving average
3. Counting Mechanism: Calculates the stiffness coefficient as the ratio of the number of times the price has closed above the moving average during the indicator period to the length of that period
4. Smoothing: Applies additional smoothing to the final result for cleaner signals
Key Components
Input Parameters
- Period 1 (100): The moving average period for the baseline calculation
- MA Method 1: Type of moving average for the baseline (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA)
- Summation Period (60): The lookback period for counting closes above the moving average
- Period 2 (3): Smoothing period for the final signal line
- MA Method 2: Smoothing method for the signal line
- Threshold Level (80): Reference level for identifying strong trends
Visual Elements
- Blue Signal Line: The main stiffness reading showing trend strength
- Dotted Line: Adjustable threshold level for reference
Interpretation and Trading Applications
Signal Readings
- High Values (Above Threshold): Indicates a "stiff" trend where price consistently stays above the moving average with minimal penetrations
- Low Values (Below Threshold): Suggests a weaker trend with frequent penetrations of the moving average
- Original threshold levels mentioned in research range from 75-95
Trading Strategy
The original strategy suggests entering long positions when the stiffness reading reaches 90 or higher, with exits when the reading drops below 50. Some implementations use a threshold of 75 for entry confirmation.
Key Characteristics
- Designed primarily for stocks and instruments with upward bias
- Trades infrequently - typically about once per year when using strict parameters
- Best suited for trend-following strategies in strongly trending markets
Advantages
- Trend Quality Assessment: Quantifies the "stiffness" or quality of trends
- Volatility Filtering: Built-in volatility threshold reduces false signals from minor price movements
- Objective Measurement: Provides a numerical assessment of trend strength
- Customizable: Multiple parameters allow adaptation to different markets and timeframes
Best Practices
- Use in conjunction with baseline trend indicators for confirmation
- Most effective in markets with strong directional bias
- Consider the low frequency of signals when developing trading strategies
- May not be suitable for instruments that "twitch up and down" frequently
*Note: This indicator is specifically designed to identify and trade the strongest trending periods, which naturally results in fewer but potentially higher-quality trading opportunities.*
Options Max Pain Calculator [BackQuant]Options Max Pain Calculator
A visualization tool that models option expiry dynamics by calculating "max pain" levels, displaying synthetic open interest curves, gamma exposure profiles, and pin-risk zones to help identify where market makers have the least payout exposure.
What is Max Pain?
Max Pain is the theoretical expiration price where the total dollar value of outstanding options would be minimized. At this price level, option holders collectively experience maximum losses while option writers (typically market makers) have minimal payout obligations. This creates a natural gravitational pull as expiration approaches.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Max Pain Line: Horizontal line showing the calculated minimum pain level
Strike Level Grid: Major support and resistance levels at key option strikes
Pin Zone: Highlighted area around max pain where price may gravitate
Pain Heatmap: Color-coded visualization showing pain distribution across prices
Gamma Exposure Profile: Bar chart displaying net gamma at each strike level
Real-time Dashboard: Summary statistics and risk metrics
Synthetic Market Modeling**
Since Pine Script cannot access live options data, the indicator creates realistic synthetic open interest distributions based on configurable market parameters including volume patterns, put/call ratios, and market maker positioning.
How It Works
Strike Generation:
The tool creates a grid of option strikes centered around the current price. You can control the range, density, and whether strikes snap to realistic market increments.
Open Interest Modeling:
Using your inputs for average volume, put/call ratios, and market maker behavior, the indicator generates synthetic open interest that mirrors real market dynamics:
Higher volume at-the-money with decay as strikes move further out
Adjustable put/call bias to reflect current market sentiment
Market maker inventory effects and typical short-gamma positioning
Weekly options boost for near-term expirations
Pain Calculation:
For each potential expiry price, the tool calculates total option payouts:
Call options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
Put options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
The strike with minimum total pain becomes the Max Pain level
Gamma Analysis:
Net gamma exposure is calculated at each strike using standard option pricing models, showing where hedging flows may be most intense. Positive gamma creates price support while negative gamma can amplify moves.
Key Settings
Basic Configuration:
Number of Strikes: Controls grid density (recommended: 15-25)
Days to Expiration: Time until option expiry
Strike Range: Price range around current level (recommended: 8-15%)
Strike Increment: Spacing between strikes
Market Parameters:
Average Daily Volume: Baseline for synthetic open interest
Put/Call Volume Ratio: Market sentiment bias (>1.0 = bearish, <1.0 = bullish) It does not work if set to 1.0
Implied Volatility: Current option volatility estimate
Market Maker Factors: Dealer positioning and hedging intensity
Display Options:
Model Complexity: Simple (line only), Standard (+ zones), Advanced (+ heatmap/gamma)
Visual Elements: Toggle individual components on/off
Theme: Dark/Light mode
Update Frequency: Real-time or daily calculation
Reading the Display
Dashboard Table (Top Right):
Current Price vs Max Pain Level
Distance to Pain: Percentage gap (smaller = higher pin risk)
Pin Risk Assessment: HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on proximity and time
Days to Expiry and Strike Count
Model complexity level
Visual Elements:
Red Line: Max Pain level where payout is minimized
Colored Zone: Pin risk area around max pain
Dotted Lines: Major strike levels (green = support, orange = resistance)
Color Bar: Pain heatmap (blue = high pain, red = low pain/max pain zones)
Horizontal Bars: Gamma exposure (green = positive, red = negative)
Yellow Dotted Line: Gamma flip level where hedging behavior changes
Trading Applications
Expiration Pinning:
When price is near max pain with limited time remaining, there's increased probability of gravitating toward that level as market makers hedge their positions.
Support and Resistance:
High open interest strikes often act as magnets, with max pain representing the strongest gravitational pull.
Volatility Expectations:
Above gamma flip: Expect dampened volatility (long gamma environment)
Below gamma flip: Expect amplified moves (short gamma environment)
Risk Assessment:
The pin risk indicator helps gauge likelihood of price manipulation near expiry, with HIGH risk suggesting potential range-bound action.
Best Practices
Setup Recommendations
Start with Model Complexity set to "Standard"
Use realistic strike ranges (8-12% for most assets)
Set put/call ratio based on current market sentiment
Adjust implied volatility to match current levels
Interpretation Guidelines:
Small distance to pain + short time = high pin probability
Large gamma bars indicate key hedging levels to monitor
Heatmap intensity shows strength of pain concentration
Multiple nearby strikes can create wider pin zones
Update Strategy:
Use "Daily" updates for cleaner visuals during trading hours
Switch to "Every Bar" for real-time analysis near expiration
Monitor changes in max pain level as new options activity emerges
Important Disclaimers
This is a modeling tool using synthetic data, not live market information. While the calculations are mathematically sound and the modeling realistic, actual market dynamics involve numerous factors not captured in any single indicator.
Max pain represents theoretical minimum payout levels and suggests where natural market forces may create gravitational pull, but it does not guarantee price movement or predict exact expiration levels. Market gaps, news events, and changing volatility can override these dynamics.
Use this tool as additional context for your analysis, not as a standalone trading signal. The synthetic nature of the data makes it most valuable for understanding market structure and potential zones of interest rather than precise price prediction.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses established option pricing principles with simplified implementations optimized for Pine Script performance. Gamma calculations use standard financial models while pain calculations follow the industry-standard definition of minimized option payouts.
All visual elements use fixed positioning to prevent movement when scrolling charts, and the tool includes performance optimizations to handle real-time calculation without timeout errors.
StdDev Supertrend {CHIPA}StdDev Supertrend ~ C H I P A is a supertrend style trend engine that replaces ATR with standard deviation as the volatility core. It can operate on raw prices or log return volatility, with optional smoothing to control noise.
Key features include:
Supertrend trailing rails built from a stddev scaled envelope that flips the regime only when price closes through the opposite rail.
Returns-based mode that scales volatility by log returns for more consistent behavior across price regimes.
Optional smoothing on the volatility input to tune responsiveness versus stability.
Directional gap fill between price and the active trend line on the main chart; opacity adapts to the distance (vs ATR) so wide gaps read stronger and small gaps stay subtle.
Secondary pane view of the rails with the same adaptive fade, plus an optional candle overlay for context.
Clean alerts that fire once when state changes
Use cases: medium-term trend following, stop/flip systems, and visual regime confirmation when you prefer stddev-based distance over ATR.
Note: no walk-forward or robustness testing is implied; parameter choices and risk controls are on you.
