Adaptive Momentum Deviation Oscillator | QuantMACAdaptive Momentum Deviation Oscillator | QuantMAC 📊
Overview 🎯
The Adaptive Momentum Deviation Oscillator (AMDO) is an advanced technical analysis indicator that combines the power of Bollinger Bands with adaptive momentum calculations to identify optimal entry and exit points in financial markets. This sophisticated oscillator creates dynamic bands that adapt to market volatility while providing clear visual signals for both trending and ranging market conditions.
How It Works 🔧
Core Methodology
The AMDO employs a sophisticated multi-layered approach to market analysis through four distinct phases:
Bollinger Band Foundation : The indicator begins by establishing a volatility baseline using traditional Bollinger Bands. These bands are calculated using a simple moving average as the center line, with upper and lower bands positioned at a specific number of standard deviations away from this centerline. The distance between these bands expands and contracts based on market volatility, creating a dynamic envelope around price action.
BB% Normalization Process : The raw price data is then transformed into a normalized percentage format that represents where the current price sits within the Bollinger Band envelope. When price is at the lower band, this percentage reads 0%; at the upper band, it reads 100%. This normalization allows for consistent comparison across different timeframes and price levels, creating a standardized oscillator that oscillates between extreme values.
Adaptive Momentum Band Construction : The normalized BB% values undergo a secondary volatility analysis where their own standard deviation is calculated over a specified period. This creates "bands around the bands" - upper and lower boundaries that adapt to the volatility of the normalized price position itself. These adaptive bands expand during periods of high momentum volatility and contract during consolidation phases.
Intelligent Signal Synthesis : The final layer combines the adaptive momentum bands with user-defined threshold levels to create a sophisticated trigger system. The indicator monitors when the dynamic bands cross above or below these thresholds, filtering out noise while capturing significant momentum shifts. This creates a dual-confirmation system where both volatility adaptation and threshold breaches must align for signal generation.
Key Components 🛠️
Adaptive Momentum Bands 📈
Dynamic Volatility Response : These bands automatically widen during periods of high momentum volatility and narrow during consolidation phases. Unlike fixed oscillator boundaries, they continuously recalibrate based on recent price behavior within the Bollinger Band framework.
Dual-Layer Calculation : The bands are derived from the volatility of the normalized price position itself, creating a "volatility of volatility" measurement. This provides early warning signals when momentum characteristics are changing, even before price breakouts occur.
State-Aware Visualization : The bands employ intelligent color coding that transitions between active and neutral states based on their interaction with threshold levels. Active states indicate high-probability momentum conditions, while neutral states suggest consolidation or indecision.
Momentum Persistence Tracking : The bands maintain memory of recent momentum characteristics, allowing them to distinguish between genuine momentum shifts and temporary price spikes or dips.
Threshold Levels 🎚️
Statistical Significance Boundaries : The threshold levels (default 83 for long, 40 for short) are positioned to capture statistically significant momentum events while filtering out market noise. These levels represent points where momentum probability shifts meaningfully in favor of directional moves.
Asymmetric Design Philosophy : The intentional asymmetry between long and short thresholds (83 vs 40) reflects the natural upward bias of many financial markets and the different risk/reward profiles of long versus short positions.
Contextual Sensitivity : The thresholds work in conjunction with the adaptive bands to create context-sensitive triggers. A threshold breach is only meaningful when it occurs in the proper sequence with band interactions.
Risk-Adjusted Positioning : The threshold levels are calibrated to provide favorable risk-adjusted entry points, considering both the probability of success and the potential magnitude of subsequent moves.
Bollinger Bands Overlay 📊
Multi-Timeframe Context : The price chart overlay provides essential context by showing traditional Bollinger Bands alongside the oscillator. This dual perspective allows traders to see both the absolute price position and the momentum characteristics simultaneously.
Support/Resistance Identification : The filled band area creates a visual representation of dynamic support and resistance levels. Price interaction with these bands provides additional confirmation for oscillator signals.
Volatility Environment Assessment : The width and slope of the bands offer immediate visual feedback about the current volatility environment, helping traders adjust their expectations and risk management accordingly.
Confluence Analysis : The overlay enables traders to identify confluence between price action at Bollinger Band levels and oscillator signals, creating higher-probability trade setups.
Signal Generation ⚡
The AMDO generates signals through precise mathematical crossover events:
Long Signals 🟢
Momentum Accumulation Detection : Long signals are generated when the lower adaptive momentum band crosses above the 83 threshold, indicating that downside momentum has exhausted and bullish momentum is beginning to accumulate. This represents a shift from defensive to offensive market posture.
Statistical Edge Confirmation : The crossing event occurs only when momentum characteristics have shifted sufficiently to provide a statistical edge for long positions. The adaptive nature ensures the signal quality remains consistent across different market volatility regimes.
Visual State Synchronization : Upon signal generation, the entire indicator ecosystem shifts to a bullish state - bar colors change, band states update, and the visual hierarchy emphasizes the long bias until conditions change.
Momentum Persistence Validation : The signal incorporates momentum persistence analysis to distinguish between genuine trend starts and false breakouts, reducing whipsaw trades in choppy market conditions.
Short Signals 🔴
Momentum Exhaustion Recognition : Short signals trigger when the upper adaptive momentum band crosses below the 40 threshold, signaling that bullish momentum has peaked and bearish momentum is emerging. This asymmetric threshold reflects the different dynamics of bullish versus bearish market phases.
Volatility-Adjusted Timing : The adaptive band system ensures that short signals are generated with appropriate timing regardless of the underlying volatility environment, maintaining signal quality in both high and low volatility conditions.
Regime-Aware Activation : Short signals are only active in Long/Short trading mode, recognizing that not all trading strategies benefit from short positions. The indicator adapts its behavior based on the selected trading approach.
Risk-Calibrated Thresholds : The 40 threshold is specifically calibrated to capture meaningful bearish momentum shifts while accounting for the higher risk typically associated with short positions.
Cash Signals 💰
Defensive Positioning Logic : In Long/Cash mode, cash signals are generated when short conditions are met, allowing traders to move to a defensive cash position rather than taking on short exposure. This preserves capital during unfavorable market conditions.
Risk Mitigation Strategy : Cash signals represent a risk-off approach that removes market exposure when momentum conditions favor the short side, protecting long-biased portfolios from adverse market movements.
Opportunity Cost Optimization : The cash position allows traders to avoid negative returns while maintaining flexibility to re-enter long positions when momentum conditions improve, optimizing the risk-adjusted return profile.

Sharpe Ratio : Calculates excess return per unit of total risk, offering a standardized measure of risk-adjusted performance that allows for comparison across different strategies and timeframes.
Omega Ratio : Employs probability-weighted analysis to compare the likelihood and magnitude of gains versus losses, providing insights into the overall shape of the return distribution and tail risk characteristics.
Drawdown and Risk Analysis
Maximum Drawdown : Tracks the largest peak-to-trough equity decline, providing crucial information about the worst-case scenario and helping traders understand the emotional and financial stress they might encounter.
Dynamic Drawdown Monitoring : Continuously updates drawdown calculations in real-time, allowing traders to monitor current drawdown levels relative to historical maximums.
Trade Statistics and Profitability
Profit Factor Analysis : Compares gross profits to gross losses, revealing the efficiency of the trading approach and the relationship between winning and losing trades.
Win Rate Calculation : Provides the percentage of profitable trades, which must be interpreted in conjunction with profit factor and average trade size for meaningful analysis.
Trade Frequency Tracking : Monitors total trade count to assess strategy turnover and transaction cost implications.
Position Sizing Guidance
Half Kelly Percentage : Calculates optimal position sizing based on Kelly Criterion methodology, then applies a conservative 50% reduction to account for parameter uncertainty and reduce volatility. This provides mathematically-based position sizing guidance that balances growth with risk management.

Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)
Description
The "Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)" is a Pine Script indicator designed to calculate the historical volatility (HV) of assets without relying on options data. This tool is particularly useful for markets like forex, indices, or stocks where options trading might be limited or unavailable. It provides a customizable way to measure volatility based on historical price movements, with options to adjust the calculation period, trading days per year, and use an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) for enhanced sensitivity to recent data.
This indicator can be used standalone to visualize volatility trends or integrated with other scripts (e.g., option pricing models) to provide a manual input for implied volatility (IV).
Features
Customizable Period: Adjust the number of days (5 to 365) for volatility calculation.
Flexible Annualization: Set the number of trading days per year (default 252) to suit different markets (e.g., 365 for forex).
EWMA Option: Toggle between standard deviation and EWMA for a more responsive volatility measure.
Trend Adjustment: Removes the influence of price trends using an EMA-based detrending method.
Visual Output: Displays volatility as a histogram and labels the latest value on the chart.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Load the indicator onto your chart via the Pine Script editor or the Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
Period for Calculation: Set the lookback period (e.g., 30 days) to calculate volatility.
Trading Days per Year: Adjust for your market (e.g., 252 for stocks, 365 for continuous markets).
Use EWMA: Enable for a weighted approach focusing on recent volatility.
Interpret the Results: The histogram shows volatility in decimal form (e.g., 0.03136 = 3.136%), and the label displays the percentage on the last bar.
Integration: Use the calculated volatility value (in decimal form) as a manual IV input in other scripts, such as option pricing models.
Example
For the DXY index, with a 60-day period and 252 trading days per year, the indicator might output a volatility of 0.03136 (3.136%). You can input this value into an options model to estimate standard deviation levels, adjusting for the days to expiry.
Notes
Accuracy: The indicator provides a reliable estimate of historical volatility, with improvements like trend removal and EWMA. For precision, use a period that matches your trading horizon (e.g., 30-90 days).
Limitations: Volatility is based on historical data and may not reflect future market conditions or implied volatility from options.
Compatibility: Tested on TradingView as of June 16, 2025. Ensure sufficient historical data is available for the chosen period.
Suggestions

Dynamic Laguerre Filter Bands | OttoThis indicator combines trend-following and volatility analysis by enhancing the traditional Laguerre filter with a dynamic, volatility-adjusted band system. Instead of using fixed thresholds, the bands adapt in real-time to changing market conditions by applying smoothed standard deviation calculations. This design keeps the indicator responsive to significant price movements while effectively filtering out short-term market noise, resulting in more accurate trend identification and breakout signals.
Core Concept
The indicator is built around the following key components:
Laguerre Filter:
The Laguerre filter is designed to smooth out price data by reducing market noise while still being quick enough to detect real changes in price direction. Its goal is to create a clear, smooth trend line that helps traders/investors focus on the overall market trend without getting distracted by small, random price swings.
It uses a parameter called gamma to control how it balances smoothness and responsiveness:
A lower gamma gives more weight to recent price data, making the filter react faster to new price changes. This means the trend line is more sensitive but may also be less smooth and more prone to small fluctuations.
A higher gamma gives more weight to past price data, making the filter smoother and less sensitive to quick changes. This helps reduce noise and produces a steadier trend line, but it also introduces more lag, meaning the filter reacts slower to new price moves.
By adjusting gamma, the Laguerre filter lets you choose the balance between following price changes quickly and having a stable, noise-free trend signal.
Standard Deviation:
shows how much price varies from the mean. In this indicator, it’s used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Bands: The upper and lower bands are based on an EMA-smoothed standard deviation of price. The EMA reduces sudden jumps in volatility, creating smoother and more stable bands that still respond to changing market conditions. These bands are plotted around the Laguerre filter line, expanding and contracting in a controlled way to stay aligned with real market movement while avoiding short-term noise.
Signal Logic:
A long signal is triggered when the close price crosses above the upper band.
A short signal occurs when the close price falls below the lower band.
⚙️ Inputs
Source: Price source used in calculations
Gamma: Adjusts how much the Laguerre filter responds to price changes. Lower gamma values make the filter react more to recent prices, while higher values give more influence to older data, making the line smoother but slower to respond.
Volatility Length: Period used to calculate standard deviation
Volatility Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing length for standard deviation
Multiplier: Scales the width of the bands based on volatility
📈 Visual Output
Laguerre Filter Line: Plots the laguerre filter line, colored dynamically based on signal direction (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Upper & Lower Bands: Volatility-based bands that adjust with market conditions. (green for bullish, purple for bearish)

Adaptive Normalized Global Liquidity OscillatorAdaptive Normalized Global Liquidity Oscillator
A dynamic, non-repainting oscillator built on real central bank balance sheet data. This tool visualizes global liquidity shifts by aggregating monetary asset flows from the world’s most influential central banks.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Aggregates Global Liquidity:
Includes Federal Reserve (FED) assets and subtracts liabilities like the Treasury General Account (TGA) and Reverse Repo Facility (RRP), combined with asset positions from the ECB, BOJ, PBC, BOE, and over 10 other central banks. All data is normalized into USD using FX rates.
Adaptive Normalization:
Optimizes the lookback period dynamically based on rate-of-change stability—no fixed lengths, enabling adaptation across macro conditions.
Self-Optimizing Weighting:
Applies inverse standard deviation to balance raw liquidity, smoothed momentum (HMA), and standardized deviation from the mean.
Percentile-Ranked Highlights:
Liquidity readings are ranked relative to history—extremes are visually emphasized using gradient color and adaptive transparency.
Non-Repainting Design:
Data is anchored with bar index awareness and offset techniques, ensuring no forward-looking bias. What you see is what was known at that time.
⚠️ Important Interpretation Note:
This is not a zero-centered oscillator like RSI or MACD. The signal line does not represent neutrality at zero.
Instead, a dynamic baseline is calculated using a rolling mean of scaled liquidity.
0 is irrelevant on its own—true directional signals come from crosses above or below this adaptive baseline.
Even negative values may signal strength if they are rising above the moving average of past liquidity conditions.
✅ What to Watch For:
Crossover Above Dynamic Baseline:
Indicates liquidity is expanding relative to recent conditions—supports a risk-on interpretation.
Crossover Below Dynamic Baseline:
Suggests deteriorating liquidity conditions—may align with risk-off shifts.
Percentile Extremes:
Readings near the top or bottom historical percentiles can act as contrarian or confirmation signals, depending on momentum.
⚙️ How It Works:
Bounded Normalization:
The final oscillator is passed through a tanh function, keeping values within and reducing distortion.
Adaptive Transparency:
The strength of deviations dynamically adjusts plot intensity—visually highlighting stronger liquidity shifts.
Fully Customizable:
Toggle which banks are included, adjust dynamic optimization ranges, and control visual display options for plot and background layers.
🧠 How to Use:
Trend Confirmation:
Sustained rises in the oscillator above baseline suggest underlying monetary support for asset prices.
Macro Turning Points:
Reversals or divergences, especially near OB/OS zones, can foreshadow broader risk regime changes.
Visual Context:
Use the dynamic baseline to see if liquidity is supportive or suppressive relative to its own adaptive history.

ATR % Line from Day LowHow can you make sure that you're not buying a stock that is too extended?
By limiting your buys to within a certain percentage of either the low-of-the-day (LoD) if you're going long, or to the high-of-the-day (HoD) if you're shorting a stock. This script will help you do just that.
Limiting stock purchases to within a certain percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) from the day's low or high is a risk management technique that offers several key benefits:
Risk Control and Position Sizing
By using ATR as a boundary, you're essentially creating a volatility-adjusted buffer. Since ATR measures recent price volatility, this approach prevents you from buying into stocks that have already moved significantly beyond their normal trading range. This helps avoid entering positions when the stock might be overextended and due for a pullback.
Improved Entry Timing
This strategy encourages patience and discipline. Rather than chasing a stock that's already run up substantially from its low, you wait for better entry points. For example, if you set a limit of 50% of ATR from the day's low, you're only buying when the stock hasn't moved more than half its typical daily range from the bottom.
Volatility Awareness
ATR naturally adjusts for each stock's individual volatility characteristics. A high-volatility stock might have an ATR of $2, while a low-volatility stock might have an ATR of $0.50. This approach scales your entry criteria appropriately for each security rather than using arbitrary dollar amounts.
Reduced Emotional Trading
Having a systematic rule removes the temptation to chase momentum or buy at poor technical levels. It forces you to wait for the stock to come back to more reasonable levels relative to its recent trading behavior.
Better Risk-Reward Ratios
By entering closer to the day's low (within your ATR percentage), you're typically getting a better risk-reward setup. Your stop loss (often placed below the day's low) will be tighter, while your potential upside remains intact.
This approach works particularly well for swing traders and those looking to enter positions on pullbacks or during consolidation periods rather than breakout scenarios.
To save valuable real estate on your chart, there's also an option that can give you a compact version of this indicator which will show only the "Current Day's Low/High" and "Target Price". "Target Price" being the price at which your max buy limit is based on the % ATR you choose in settings.
X-Day Capital Efficiency ScoreThis indicator helps identify the Most Profitable Movers for Your fixed Capital (ie, which assets offer the best average intraday profit potential for a fixed capital).
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (like ATR or % change), this script calculates how much real dollar profit you could have made each day over a custom lookback period — assuming you deployed your full capital into that ticker daily.
How it works:
Calculates the daily intraday range (high − low)
Filters for clean candles (where body > 60% of the candle range)
Assumes you invested the full amount of capital ($100K set as default) on each valid day
Computes an average daily profit score based on price action over the selected period (default set to 20 days)
Plots the score in dollars — higher = more efficient use of capital
Why It’s Useful:
Compare tickers based on real dollar return potential — not just % volatility
Spot low-priced, high-volatility stocks that are better suited for intraday or momentum trading
Inputs:
Capital ($): Amount you're hypothetically deploying (e.g., 100,000)
Look Back Period: Number of past days to average over (e.g., 20)
Haven Average Daily RangeOverview
This indicator is an enhanced version of the traditional ADR tool that adapts to intraday price movements. Unlike static ADR levels, this indicator dynamically adjusts its range boundaries based on real-time price action while maintaining the original ADR calculation framework.
Key Features
ADR calculation based on multiple periods (5, 10, and 20 days)
ADR levels displayed with automatic style changes upon range reach
Customizable display settings (color, line style)
Price labels for better visualization
The indicator helps traders assess the instrument's volatility, identify potential reversal zones, and plan daily trading targets.
Suitable for all timeframes up to D1 and any trading instrument.
How It Works
Session Start (UTC+0): Calculates ADR based on historical data and sets initial High/Low levels
Dynamic Phase: Monitors price action and adjusts the opposite boundary (ADR Low or High) when new extremes are reached.
When price creates new Day high price above the opening price, the ADR Low level moves upward proportionally.
When price creates new Day low price below the opening price, the ADR High level moves downward proportionally.
Completion Phase: Stops adjustments and highlights breach when price reaches either boundary
Trading Application
Entry and Exit Signals
The ADR boundaries serve as key decision points for trade execution. When price approaches the upper ADR boundary, it often signals a potential selling zone, particularly when confluence exists with other overbought indicators such as RSI divergence or resistance levels. Conversely, price reaching the lower ADR boundary frequently indicates potential buying opportunities, especially when supported by oversold conditions or support confluences.
Trend Continuation Assessment
One of the most valuable applications is gauging the probability of continued directional movement. When the current session's price action has not yet reached either ADR boundary, statistical probability favors trend continuation in the established direction. This information helps traders stay with profitable positions longer rather than exiting prematurely.
Reversal and Consolidation Zones
The visual color change to orange when ADR boundaries are reached provides immediate feedback that the normal daily range has been exhausted. At this point, the probability of trend reversal or sideways consolidation increases significantly. This signal helps traders prepare for potential position adjustments or new counter-trend opportunities.

Adaptive Signal Oscillator (ASO)📘 Adaptive Signal Oscillator (ASO)
A fully dynamic, self-calibrating oscillator that adapts to any asset or timeframe by optimizing for real-time signal stability and volatility structure — without relying on static parameters or hardcoded thresholds.
🔍 Overview
The Adaptive Signal Oscillator (ASO) is a next-generation technical analysis tool designed to provide context-aware long/short signals across crypto, equities, or forex markets. Unlike traditional oscillators (RSI, Stochastics, MACD), ASO requires no manual tuning of lookback periods or overbought/oversold zones — it self-optimizes based on current market behavior.
🧠 How It Works
✅ 1. Dynamic Lookback Optimization
ASO evaluates a range of lookback lengths between user-defined minLen and maxLen. For each length, it calculates the standard deviation of returns and finds the one with the least volatility change (i.e., the most stable structure). This length is dynamically assigned as bestLen, recalculated on every bar.
✅ 2. Multi-Layer Signal Composition
Four independent signal layers are computed using bestLen:
RSI Layer: Measures relative price strength via a custom dynamic RSI.
Z-Score Layer: Standardized deviation of price from its mean.
Volatility Layer: Standard deviation of log or percent returns.
Price Position Layer: Current price percentile within the lookback window.
Each of these layers is transformed into a percentile score scaled to the range .
✅ 3. Volatility-Based Weighting
The standard deviation (volatility) of each signal layer is computed. Less volatile layers are weighted more heavily, ensuring the final composite signal prioritizes stable, consistent inputs.
Weights are normalized and combined to form a composite score, representing a dynamically blended, noise-weighted signal across the four layers.
✅ 4. Optional Adaptive Smoothing
A boolean toggle lets users apply smoothing to the final score. The smoothing window scales proportionally to bestLen, preserving adaptiveness even during trend transitions.
✅ 5. Percentile-Based Thresholding
Rather than using arbitrary fixed thresholds, ASO converts the composite score into a ranked percentile. Long/short signals are then generated based on user-defined percentile bands, adapting naturally to each asset’s behavior.
📈 Interpreting ASO
Score > Threshold → Strong long signal (highlighted in aqua).
Score < Threshold → Strong short signal (highlighted in fuchsia).
Crossing h_thresh (e.g., 0) → Neutral-to-bias change; useful for early trend cues.
The background and label update in real time to reflect the current regime and bestLen.
⚙️ Inputs
minLen, maxLen, step: Define the search range for optimal lookback length.
retMethod: Choose between log or percent return calculations.
threshHigh, threshLow: Define signal zones using percentiles.
smooth: Enable dynamic score smoothing.
h_thresh: Midline crossover zone for directional context.

OBV with MA & Bollinger Bands by Marius1032OBV with MA & Bollinger Bands by Marius1032
This script adds customizable moving averages and Bollinger Bands to the classic OBV (On Balance Volume) indicator. It helps identify volume-driven momentum and trend strength.
Features:
OBV-based trend tracking
Optional smoothing: SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA
Optional Bollinger Bands with SMA
Potential Combinations and Trading Strategies:
Breakouts: Look for price breakouts from the Bollinger Bands, and confirm with a rising OBV for an uptrend or falling OBV for a downtrend.
Trend Reversals: When the price touches a Bollinger Band, examine the OBV for divergence. A bullish divergence (price lower low, OBV higher low) near the lower band could signal a reversal.
Volume Confirmation: Use OBV to confirm the strength of the trend indicated by Bollinger Bands. For example, if the BBs indicate an uptrend and OBV is also rising, it reinforces the bullish signal.
1. On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Purpose: OBV is a momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict price movements.
Calculation: Volume is added on up days and subtracted on down days.
Interpretation: Rising OBV suggests potential upward price movement. Falling OBV suggests potential lower prices.
Divergence: Divergence between OBV and price can signal potential trend reversals.
2. Moving Average (MA):
Purpose: Moving Averages smooth price fluctuations and help identify trends.
Combination with OBV: Pairing OBV with MAs helps confirm trends and identify potential reversals. A crossover of the OBV line and its MA can signal a trend reversal or continuation.
3. Bollinger Bands (BB):
Purpose: BBs measure market volatility and help identify potential breakouts and trend reversals.
Structure: They consist of a moving average (typically 20-period) and two standard deviation bands.
Combination with OBV: Combining BBs with OBV allows for a multifaceted approach to market analysis. For example, a stock hitting the lower BB with a rising OBV could indicate accumulation and a potential upward reversal.

Flux Capacitor (FC)# Flux Capacitor
**A volume-weighted, outlier-resistant momentum oscillator designed to expose hidden directional pressure from institutional participants.**
---
### Why "Flux Capacitor"?
The name pays homage to the fictional energy core in *Back to the Future* — an invisible engine that powers movement. Similarly, this indicator detects whether price movement is being powered by real market participation (volume) or if it's coasting without conviction.
---
### Methodology
The Flux Capacitor fuses three statistical layers:
- **Normalized Momentum**: `(Close – Open) / ATR`
Controls for raw price size and volatility.
- **Volume Scaling**:
Amplifies the effect of price moves that occur with elevated volume.
- **Robust Normalization**:
- *Winsorization* caps outlier spikes.
- *MAD-Z scoring* normalizes the signal across assets (crypto, futures, stocks).
- This produces consistent scaling across timeframes and symbols.
The result is a smooth oscillator that reliably indicates **liquidity-backed momentum** — not just price movement.
---
### Signal Events
- **Divergence (D)**: Price makes higher highs or lower lows, but Flux does not.
- **Absorption (A)**: Candle shows high volume and small body, while Flux opposes the candle direction — indicates smart money stepping in.
- **Compression (◆)**: High volume with low momentum — potential breakout zone.
- **Zero-Cross**: Indicates directional regime flip.
- **Flux Acceleration**: Histogram shows pressure rate of change.
- **Regime Background**: Color fades with weakening trend conviction.
All signals are color-coded and visually compact for easy pattern recognition.
---
### Interpreting Divergence & Absorption Correctly
Signal strength improves significantly when it appears **in the correct zone**:
#### Divergence:
| Signal | Zone | Meaning | Strength |
|--------|------------|------------------------------------------|--------------|
| Green D | Below 0 | Bullish reversal forming in weakness | **Strong** |
| Green D | Above 0 | Bullish, but less convincing | Moderate |
| Red D | Above 0 | Bearish reversal forming in strength | **Strong** |
| Red D | Below 0 | Bearish continuation — low warning value | Weak |
#### Absorption:
| Signal | Zone | Meaning | Strength |
|--------|------------|-----------------------------------------|--------------|
| Green A | Below 0 | Buyers absorbing panic-selling | **Strong** |
| Green A | Above 0 | Support continuation | Moderate |
| Red A | Above 0 | Sellers absorbing FOMO buying | **Strong** |
| Red A | Below 0 | Trend continuation — not actionable | Weak |
Look for **absorption or divergence signals in “enemy territory”** for the most actionable entries.
---
### Reducing Visual Footprint
If your chart shows a long line of numbers across the top of the Flux Capacitor pane (e.g. "FC 14 20 9 ... Bottom Right"), it’s due to TradingView’s *status line input display*.
**To fix this**:
Right-click the indicator pane → **Settings** → **Status Line** tab → uncheck “Show Indicator Arguments”.
This frees up vertical space so top-edge signals (like red `D` or yellow `◆`) remain visible and unobstructed.
---
### Features
- Original MAD-Z based momentum design
- True volume-based divergence and absorption logic
- Built-in alerts for all signal types
- Works across timeframes (1-min to weekly)
- Minimalist, responsive layout
- 25+ customizable parameters
- No future leaks, no repainting
---
### Usage Scenarios
- **Trend confirmation**: Flux > 0 confirms bullish trend strength
- **Reversal detection**: Divergence or absorption in opposite territory = high-probability reversal
- **Breakout anticipation**: Compression signal inside range often precedes directional move
- **Momentum shifts**: Watch for zero-crosses + flux acceleration spikes
---
### ⚠ Visual Note for BTC, ETH, Crude Oil & Futures
These high-priced or rapidly accelerating instruments can visually compress any linear oscillator. You may notice the Flux Capacitor’s line appears "flat" or muted on these assets — especially over long lookbacks.
> **This does not affect signal validity.** Divergence, absorption, and compression triggers still fire based on underlying logic — only the line’s amplitude appears reduced due to scaling constraints.

Multi-Volatility Adjusted Moving Average🎯 Core Concept
The Multi-Volatility Adjusted Moving Average (MVAMA) is an advanced technical indicator that creates an adaptive moving average with a built-in upward bias. Unlike traditional moving averages that simply follow price, this indicator adjusts upward based on market volatility, making it particularly useful for identifying dynamic resistance levels and trend strength.
🔧 How It Works
Key Principle: Upward Volatility Bias
Base Calculation: Starts with your chosen moving average (EMA, SMA, etc.)
Volatility Measurement: Calculates market volatility using one of 5 different methods
Upward Adjustment: Always adds volatility adjustment upward: Adaptive MA = Base MA + Volatility Adjustment
Dynamic Resistance: Creates a moving resistance level that adapts to market conditions
📊 5 Volatility Calculation Methods

ATR-Multiple from 50SMAThis indicator provides a nuanced view of price extension by calculating the distance between the current price and its 50-period Simple Moving Average. This distance is not measured in simple percentage terms but is quantified in multiples of the Average True Range (ATR), offering a volatility-adjusted perspective on how far an asset has moved from its mean.
The primary goal is to help traders identify potentially overextended conditions, which can often precede price consolidation or reversals. As a general guideline, when an asset's price stretches to multiples of 7 ATRs or more above its 50-day SMA, it often enters a zone where significant profit-taking may occur. By visualizing this extension, the indicator can serve as a powerful tool for gauging when to consider taking profits on existing long positions. Furthermore, it can act as a cautionary signal, helping traders avoid initiating new long positions in assets that are already significantly stretched and may be poised for a pullback.
Features
Volatility-Adjusted Extension
Measures the distance from the 50 SMA in terms of ATR multiples, providing a more standardized way to compare extension across different assets and time periods.
Daily Timeframe Consistency
By default, the indicator uses the daily SMA and ATR for its calculations, regardless of the chart's current timeframe. This ensures a consistent and meaningful measure of extension rooted in the daily trend.
Histogram Visualization
Displays the result as a clear histogram in a separate pane, making it easy to track the extension level over time and identify historical extremes.
Dynamic Color-Coding
The histogram bars are color-coded to visually highlight different levels of extension. The colors shift as the price moves further from the mean, providing an intuitive at-a-glance reading.
Key Threshold Markers
Includes pre-set horizontal lines at the 7 and 10 ATR multiples to clearly mark the zones of potential profit-taking and extreme extension, respectively.
Built-in Alerts
Comes with configurable alert conditions that can notify you when the price reaches the "profit-taking" threshold (7 ATRs) or the "extreme extension" threshold (10 ATRs).
Customization Options
MA & ATR Periods
You can adjust the length for the Simple Moving Average (default 50) and the Average True Range (default 14) to suit your specific analytical needs.
Timeframe Source
A toggle allows you to switch between always calculating using daily data (the default and recommended setting) or using the data from the current chart's timeframe.
Color Display Style
You can choose between a smooth color gradient that transitions elegantly with the extension level or a distinct, step-based color display for a clearer visual separation of the defined zones.
Full Color Scheme Control
Every visual element is fully customizable. You can change the colors for the regular extension, the "get ready," "profit-taking," and "extreme" levels, as well as the horizontal reference lines.
HOG Liquidity HunterHOG Liquidity Hunter – Pivot‑Based Liquidity Zones
📌 Overview
Plots dynamic support and resistance zones on swing pivots with an ATR‑based buffer. Anchored only when pivots are confirmed, the zones stay close to current price levels—ideal for spotting liquidity runs or traps.
🔧 How It Works
Detects swing highs and lows using ta.pivothigh() / ta.pivotlow() with a user‑defined lookback.
After a pivot is confirmed, calculates BSL/SSL zone = pivot ± (ATR * margin).
Zones update only on confirmed pivots—no repainting on open bars.
⚙️ Inputs
Lookback: bars to confirm pivots (e.g. 10–20).
ATR Margin Multiplier: buffer width (e.g. 1.25).
✅ Benefits
Structure‑focused: Zones align with real swing points.
Responsive yet stable: Tight ATR margin keeps zones precise, only updating on valid pivots.
Clean visuals: Two uncluttered zones—easy to interpret.
🛠 How to Use
Detect near‑zone bounce entries or exits on 4H/1D charts.
Combine with trend or volume indicators for stronger setups.
Use zones to identify potential stop‑run, liquidity re‑tests, or range turns.
⚠️ Notes & Disclaimers
Zones base off historical pivots; may lag until confirmed.
No future-looking data—relying entirely on closing bar confirmation.
Use alongside a complete trading framework; this is not a standalone signal.
Squeeze Pro Momentum BAR color - KLTDescription:
The Squeeze Pro Momentum indicator is a powerful tool designed to detect volatility compression ("squeeze" zones) and visualize momentum shifts using a refined color-based system. This script blends the well-known concepts of Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels with an optimized momentum engine that uses dynamic color gradients to reflect trend strength, direction, and volatility.
It’s built for traders who want early warning of potential breakouts and clearer insight into underlying market momentum.
🔍 How It Works:
📉 Squeeze Detection:
This indicator identifies "squeeze" conditions by comparing Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels:
When Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels → Squeeze is ON
When Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels → Squeeze is OFF
You’ll see squeeze zones classified as:
Wide
Normal
Narrow
Each represents varying levels of compression and breakout potential.
⚡ Momentum Engine:
Momentum is calculated using linear regression of the price's deviation from a dynamic average of highs, lows, and closes. This gives a more accurate representation of directional pressure in the market.
🧠 Smart Candle Coloring (Optimized):
The momentum color logic is inspired by machine learning principles (no hardcoded thresholds):
EMA smoothing and rate of change (ROC) are used to detect momentum acceleration.
ATR-based filters help remove noise and false signals.
Colors are dynamically assigned based on both direction and trend strength.
🧪 How to Use It:
Look for Squeeze Conditions — especially narrow squeezes, which tend to precede high-momentum breakouts.
Confirm with Momentum Color — strong colors often indicate trend continuation; fading colors may signal exhaustion.
Combine with Price Action — use this tool with support/resistance or patterns for higher probability setups.
Recommended For:
Trend Traders
Breakout Traders
Volatility Strategy Users
Anyone who wants visual clarity on trend strength
📌 Tip: This indicator works great when layered with volume and price action patterns. It is fully non-repainting and supports overlay on price charts.
Option Range Projector PRO (with Alerts)Indicator Name: Option Range Projector PRO (with Alerts)
Short Description
This is a powerful and flexible tool for traders that visualizes expected price movement ranges based on option pricing principles and statistical deviations. The indicator plots standard deviation levels (Sigmas) and boundaries calculated from the price of an options Straddle, providing a unique insight into market volatility expectations.
It is ideal for options traders, as well as those who trade futures or spot assets and want to gain an edge by understanding where the market anticipates price boundaries on a specific date.
Core Concepts
The indicator is based on three key ideas:
Standard Deviation (Sigma, σ): In statistics, this is a measure of value dispersion. In trading, when applied to prices, standard deviation levels show the probable range within which the price is expected to remain until a specific date (expiration).
±1σ (1 Sigma): Approximately 68.2% probability that the price will stay within this range.
±2σ (2 Sigmas): Approximately 95.4% probability. These levels often act as strong support/resistance.
±3σ (3 Sigmas): Approximately 99.7% probability. Reaching these levels is a statistically rare event.
Implied Volatility (IV): This is a key component. IV is the market's forecast of the asset's future volatility. It is derived from current option prices and reflects how significant the price movements are expected to be by traders. The higher the IV, the wider the calculated ranges will be.
Straddle-Based Levels: A straddle is an options strategy involving the simultaneous purchase of a Call and a Put option with the same strike price and expiration date. The cost of this combination (Call + Put) directly reflects the market's expected price movement in points. Our indicator uses this value to construct alternative, highly accurate boundaries of the expected range.
Key Features
Flexible Expiration Choice: Easily switch between standard contracts (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly) or set any custom number of days to expiration (DTE).
Dual Volatility Calculation Mode: Use automatic calculation based on historical data or enter a precise IV value manually (e.g., from your broker's terminal) for maximum accuracy.
Two Types of Predictive Levels: Visualize classic standard deviations (Sigmas) and/or levels calculated from the Straddle price for a comprehensive analysis.
Expiration Comparison: Enable the display of additional levels for a different expiration date to visually compare short-term and long-term market expectations.
"Greeks" Calculation: The indicator calculates and displays key option Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega), helping to deepen the understanding of an option position's characteristics.
Informative Table: All key data—ATM price, IV, DTE, level prices, Greeks, and option prices—are consolidated into one clear table for quick analysis.
Customizable Alerts: Get instant notifications directly in TradingView when the price crosses any of the important levels (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ).
Full Visual Customization: Control colors, line thickness, labels, and zone fills to adapt the indicator to your trading style.
How to Use (Settings)
Price Settings:
Auto-detect ATM Price: When enabled, the indicator will use the current closing price as the At-The-Money (ATM) price.
Manual ATM Price: If auto mode is disabled, you can set a precise ATM price manually.
Volatility Settings:
Auto-calculate IV: Calculates historical volatility over a specified period. Useful if you don't have access to real-time IV.
Manual IV Value: (Recommended for accuracy). Enter the Implied Volatility (IV) value for the desired strike from your brokerage terminal or analytical services here.
Expiration:
Contract Type: Choose one of the standard terms (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly) or "Custom" to use a manual day input.
Days to Expiration: Active only for the "Custom" type.
Show Multiple Expirations: Enables a second set of levels with a different term for comparison.
Straddle Boundaries:
Use Manual Input: Allows you to enter the precise Call and Put Settle prices from the official exchange summary (e.g., from the CME website). This provides the most accurate boundaries based on real market prices.
Trading Ideas and Application
Mean Reversion Trading: The ±2σ and ±3σ levels often act as strong overbought/oversold zones. A price reaching these extreme values has a high statistical probability of reversing or correcting back towards the central ATM price.
Trend Confirmation and Breakouts: A confident close outside the ±1σ range can indicate the beginning of a strong directional move.
Risk Management: Use the levels to set stop-losses or determine profit targets. For example, when opening a trade near the +1σ level, you might consider a target at +2σ and place a stop-loss behind the ATM level.
Volatility Analysis: By comparing the width of the ranges for different expirations, you can assess how the market is pricing short-term versus long-term risks. A narrow range suggests low expectations, while a wide range indicates high ones.

Volatility Quality [Alpha Extract]The Alpha-Extract Volatility Quality (AVQ) Indicator provides traders with deep insights into market volatility by measuring the directional strength of price movements. This sophisticated momentum-based tool helps identify overbought and oversold conditions, offering actionable buy and sell signals based on volatility trends and standard deviation bands.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes volatility quality data through a series of analytical steps:
Bar Range Calculation: Measures true range (TR) to capture price volatility.
Directional Weighting: Applies directional bias (positive for bullish candles, negative for bearish) to the true range.
VQI Computation: Uses an exponential moving average (EMA) of weighted volatility to derive the Volatility Quality Index (VQI).
vqiRaw = ta.ema(weightedVol, vqiLen)
Smoothing: Applies an additional EMA to smooth the VQI for clearer signals.
Normalization: Optionally normalizes VQI to a -100/+100 scale based on historical highs and lows.
Standard Deviation Bands: Calculates three upper and lower bands using standard deviation multipliers for volatility thresholds.
vqiStdev = ta.stdev(vqiSmoothed, vqiLen)
upperBand1 = vqiSmoothed + (vqiStdev * stdevMultiplier1)
upperBand2 = vqiSmoothed + (vqiStdev * stdevMultiplier2)
upperBand3 = vqiSmoothed + (vqiStdev * stdevMultiplier3)
lowerBand1 = vqiSmoothed - (vqiStdev * stdevMultiplier1)
lowerBand2 = vqiSmoothed - (vqiStdev * stdevMultiplier2)
lowerBand3 = vqiSmoothed - (vqiStdev * stdevMultiplier3)
Signal Generation: Produces overbought/oversold signals when VQI reaches extreme levels (±200 in normalized mode).
Formula:
Bar Range = True Range (TR)
Weighted Volatility = Bar Range × (Close > Open ? 1 : Close < Open ? -1 : 0)
VQI Raw = EMA(Weighted Volatility, VQI Length)
VQI Smoothed = EMA(VQI Raw, Smoothing Length)
VQI Normalized = ((VQI Smoothed - Lowest VQI) / (Highest VQI - Lowest VQI) - 0.5) × 200
Upper Band N = VQI Smoothed + (StdDev(VQI Smoothed, VQI Length) × Multiplier N)
Lower Band N = VQI Smoothed - (StdDev(VQI Smoothed, VQI Length) × Multiplier N)
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
VQI Plot: Displays VQI as a line or histogram (lime for positive, red for negative).
Standard Deviation Bands: Plots three upper and lower bands (teal for upper, grayscale for lower) to indicate volatility thresholds.
Reference Levels: Horizontal lines at 0 (neutral), +100, and -100 (in normalized mode) for context.
Zone Highlighting: Overbought (⋎ above bars) and oversold (⋏ below bars) signals for extreme VQI levels (±200 in normalized mode).
Candle Coloring: Optional candle overlay colored by VQI direction (lime for positive, red for negative).
Interpretation:
VQI ≥ 200 (Normalized): Overbought condition, strong sell signal.
VQI 100–200: High volatility, potential selling opportunity.
VQI 0–100: Neutral bullish momentum.
VQI 0 to -100: Neutral bearish momentum.
VQI -100 to -200: High volatility, strong bearish momentum.
VQI ≤ -200 (Normalized): Oversold condition, strong buy signal.
🔶 EXAMPLES
Overbought Signal Detection: When VQI exceeds 200 (normalized), the indicator flags potential market tops with a red ⋎ symbol.
Example: During strong uptrends, VQI reaching 200 has historically preceded corrections, allowing traders to secure profits.
Oversold Signal Detection: When VQI falls below -200 (normalized), a lime ⋏ symbol highlights potential buying opportunities.
Example: In bearish markets, VQI dropping below -200 has marked reversal points for profitable long entries.
Volatility Trend Tracking: The VQI plot and bands help traders visualize shifts in market momentum.
Example: A rising VQI crossing above zero with widening bands indicates strengthening bullish momentum, guiding traders to hold or enter long positions.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Standard deviation bands act as dynamic volatility thresholds during price movements.
Example: Price reversals often occur near the third standard deviation bands, providing reliable entry/exit points during volatile periods.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
VQI Length: Adjust the EMA period for VQI calculation (default: 14, range: 1–50).
Smoothing Length: Set the EMA period for smoothing (default: 5, range: 1–50).
Standard Deviation Multipliers: Customize multipliers for bands (defaults: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0).
Normalization: Toggle normalization to -100/+100 scale and adjust lookback period (default: 200, min: 50).
Display Style: Switch between line or histogram plot for VQI.
Candle Overlay: Enable/disable VQI-colored candles (lime for positive, red for negative).
The Alpha-Extract Volatility Quality Indicator empowers traders with a robust tool to navigate market volatility. By combining directional price range analysis with smoothed volatility metrics, it identifies overbought and oversold conditions, offering clear buy and sell signals. The customizable standard deviation bands and optional normalization provide precise context for market conditions, enabling traders to make informed decisions across various market cycles.
Fibonacci Entry Bands [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script plots Fibonacci Entry Bands, a trend-following and mean-reversion hybrid system built around dynamic volatility-adjusted bands scaled using key Fibonacci levels. It calculates a smoothed basis line and overlays multiple bands at fixed Fibonacci multipliers of either ATR or standard deviation. Depending on the trend direction, specific upper or lower bands become active, offering a clear framework for entry timing, trend identification, and profit-taking zones.
CONCEPTS
The core idea is to use Fibonacci levels—0.618, 1.0, 1.618, and 2.618—as multipliers on a volatility measure to form layered price bands around a trend-following moving average. Trends are defined by whether the basis is rising or falling. The trend determines which side of the bands is emphasized: upper bands for downtrends, lower bands for uptrends. This approach captures both directional bias and extreme price extensions. Take-profit logic is built in via crossovers relative to the outermost bands, scaled by user-selected aggressiveness.
FEATURES
Basis Line – A double EMA smoothing of the source defines trend direction and acts as the central mean.
Volatility Bands – Four levels per side (based on selected ATR or stdev) mark the Fibonacci bands. These become visible only when trend direction matches the side (e.g., only lower bands plot in an uptrend).
Bar Coloring – Bars are shaded with adjustable transparency depending on distance from the basis, with color intensity helping gauge overextension.
Entry Arrows – A trend shift triggers either a long or short signal, with a marker at the outermost band with ▲/▼ signs.
Take-Profit Crosses – If price rejects near the outer band (based on aggressiveness setting), a cross appears marking potential profit-taking.
Bounce Signals – Minor pullbacks that respect the basis line are marked with triangle arrows, hinting at continuation setups.
Customization – Users can toggle bar coloring, signal markers, and select between ATR/stdev as well as take-profit aggressiveness.
Alerts – All major signals, including entries, take-profits, and bounces, are available as alert conditions.
USAGE
To use this tool, load it on your chart, adjust the inputs for volatility method and aggressiveness, and wait for entries to form on trend changes. Use TP crosses and bounce arrows as potential exit or scale-in signals.

- **Current Week Focus**: Highlighted current week with extended lines to present time
- **Friday Close Reference**: Orange baseline showing the previous Friday's close price
- **Timeframe Independent**: Works consistently across all chart timeframes (1m to 1D)
### 🎯 **Fibonacci Integration**
- **Five Fibonacci Levels**: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 76.4% between Friday close and expected move boundaries
- **Color-Coded Levels**:
- Red: 23.6% & 76.4% (outer levels)
- Blue: 38.2% & 61.8% (golden ratio levels)
- Black: 50% (midpoint - most critical level)
- **Current Week Only**: Fibonacci levels shown only for active trading week to reduce clutter
### 📊 **Real-Time Information Table**
- **Current SPX Price**: Live market price
- **Expected Move**: ±EM value for current week
- **Previous Close**: Friday close price (baseline for calculations)
- **100% EM Levels**: Exact upper and lower boundary prices
- **Current Location**: Real-time position within the EM structure (e.g., "Above 38.2% Fib (upper zone)")
### 🚨 **Intelligent Alert System**
- **Zone-Aware Alerts**: Separate alerts for upper and lower zones
- **Key Level Breaches**: Alerts for 23.6% and 76.4% Fibonacci level crossings
- **Bar Close Based**: Alerts trigger on confirmed bar closes, not tick-by-tick
- **Customizable**: Enable/disable alerts through settings
## How It Works
### Data Input Method
The indicator uses a **manual data entry approach** where you input actual expected move values obtained from options platforms:
```pinescript
// Add entries using the options expiration Friday date
map.put(expected_moves, 20250613, 91.244) // Week ending June 13, 2025
map.put(expected_moves, 20250620, 95.150) // Week ending June 20, 2025
```
### Weekly Structure
- **Monday 9:30 AM ET**: Week begins
- **Friday 4:00 PM ET**: Week ends
- **Lines Extend**: From Monday open to Friday close (historical) or current time + 5 bars (current week)
- **Timezone Handling**: Uses "America/New_York" for proper DST handling
### Calculation Logic
1. **Base Price**: Previous Friday's SPX close price
2. **Expected Move**: Market-derived ±EM value from weekly options
3. **Upper Boundary**: Friday Close + Expected Move
4. **Lower Boundary**: Friday Close - Expected Move
5. **Fibonacci Levels**: Proportional levels between Friday close and EM boundaries
## Setup Instructions
### 1. Data Collection
Obtain weekly expected move values from options platforms such as:
- **ThinkOrSwim**: Use thinkBack feature to look up weekly expected moves
- **Tastyworks**: Check weekly options expected move data
- **CBOE**: Reference SPX weekly options data
- **Manual Calculation**: (ATM Call Premium + ATM Put Premium) × 0.85
### 2. Data Entry
After each Friday close, update the indicator with the next week's expected move:
```pinescript
// Example: On Friday June 7, 2025, add data for week ending June 13
map.put(expected_moves, 20250613, 91.244) // Actual EM value from your platform
```
