ATR RopeATR Rope is inspired by DonovanWall's "Range Filter". It implements a similar concept of filtering out smaller market movements and adjusting only for larger moves. In addition, this indicator goes one step deeper by producing actionable zones to determine market state. (Trend vs. Consolidation)
> Background
When reading up on the Range Filter indicator, it reminded me exactly of a Rope stabilization drawing tool in a program I use frequently. Rope stabilization essentially attaches a fixed length "rope" to your cursor and an anchor point (Brush). As you move your cursor, you are pulling the brush behind it. The cursor (of course) will not pull the brush until the rope is fully extended, this behavior filters out jittery movements and is used to produce smoother drawing curves.
If compared visually side-by-side, you will notice that this indicator bears striking resemblance to its inspiration.
> Goal
Other than simply distinguishing price movements between meaningful and noise, this indicator strives to create a rigid structure to frame market movements and lack-there-of, such as when to anticipate trend, and when to suspect consolidation.
Since the indicator works based on an ATR range, the resulting ATR Channel does well to get reactions from price at its extremes. Naturally, when consolidating, price will remain within the channel, neither pushing the channel significantly up or down. Likewise, when trending, price will continue to push the channel in a single direction.
With the goal of keeping it quick and simple, this indicator does not do any smoothing of data feeds, and is simply based on the deviation of price from the central rope. Adjusting the rope when price extends past the threshold created by +/- ATR from the rope.
> Features & Behaviors
- ATR Rope
ATR Rope is displayed as a 3 color single line.
This can be considered the center line, or the directional line, whichever you'd prefer.
The main point of the Rope display is to indicate direction, however it also is factually the center of the current working range.
- ATR Rope Color
When the rope's value moves up, it changes to green (uptrend), when down, red (downtrend).
When the source crosses the rope, it turns blue (flat).
With these simple rules, we've formed a structure to view market movements.
- Consolidation Zones
Consolidation Zones generate from "Flat" areas, and extend into subsequent trend areas. Consolidation is simply areas where price has crossed the Rope and remains inside the range. Over these periods, the upper and lower values are accumulated and averaged together to form the "Consolidation Zone" values. These zones are draw live, so values are averaged as the flat areas progress and don't repaint, so all values seen historically are as they would appear live.
- ATR Channel
ATR Channel displays the upper and lower bounds of the working range.
When the source moves beyond this range, the rope is adjusted based on the distance from the source to the channel. This range can be extremely useful to view, but by default it is hidden.
> Application
This indicator is not created to provide signals, or serve as a "complete" system.
(People who didn't read this far will still comment for signals. :) )
This is created to be used alongside manual interpretation and intuition. This indicator is not meant to constrain any users into a box, and I would actually encourage an open mind and idea generation, as the application of this indicator can take various forms.
> Examples
As you would probably already know, price movement can be fast impulses, and movement can be slow bleeds. In the screenshot below, we are using movements from and to consolidation zones to classify weak trend and strong trend. As you can see, there are also areas of consolidation which get broken out of and confirmed for the larger moves.
Author's Note: In each of these examples, I have outlined the start and end of each session. These examples come from 1 Min Future charts, and have specifically been framed with day trading in mind.
"Breakout Retest" or "Support/Resistance Flips" or "Structure Retests" are all generally the same thing, with different traders referring to them by different names, all of which can be seen throughout these examples.
In the next example, we have a day which started with an early reversal leading into long, slow, trend. Notice how each area throughout the trend essentially moves slightly higher, then consolidates while holding support of the previous zone. This day had a few sharp movements, however there was a large amount of neutrality throughout this day with continuous higher lows.
In contrast to the previous example, next up, we have a very choppy day. Throughout which we see a significant amount of retests before fast directional movements. We also see a few examples of places where previous zones remained relevant into the future. While the zones only display into the resulting trend area, they do not become immediately meaningless once they stop drawing.
> Abstract
In the screenshot below, I have stacked 2 of these indicators, using the high as the source for one and the low as the source for the other. I've hidden lines of the high and low channels to create a 4 lined channel based on the wicks of price.
This is not necessary to use the indicator, but should help provide an idea of creative ways the simple indicator could be used to produce more complicated analysis.
If you've made it this far, I would hope it's clear to you how this indicator could provide value to your trading.
Thank you to DonovonWall for the inspiration.
Enjoy!
Média de Amplitude de Variação (ATR)
ATR Keltner Channels [iryna]Hello!
I’m excited to share my custom ATR Keltner Channel script, built around a 21-period EMA and ATR-based volatility bands. I am using this tool myself for watching price behavior, any pullbacks or breakouts, and to visualize dynamic support and resistance.
How it works:
• The centerline is a 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), giving you a smooth sense of the trend.
• The upper and lower bands are calculated using Average True Range (ATR), so they expand and contract based on volatility.
• The upper and lower bands are x1ATR, x2ATR, x3ATR.
All my knowledge comes from SpikeTrade community, where I am learning from Kerry Lovvorn and Alexander Elder.
Let me know if you have any suggestions to improve or update!
Have a fruitful trading session!
- Iryna
Horizontal ATR LinesDisclaimer:
This script was generated using OpenAI’s ChatGPT. I take no responsibility for the correctness, performance, or financial impact of this indicator. Use it at your own risk and discretion.
This indicator draws horizontal ATR-based levels from the last closed candle on a user-selected timeframe. It is designed for traders who want to visualize realistic volatility zones for setting dynamic support/resistance, take-profit, or stop-loss levels.
What it does:
Calculates the Average True Range (ATR) using a customizable period and timeframe.
Plots four horizontal lines:
+1 ATR and –1 ATR from the last closed candle’s close
+X ATR and –X ATR, where X is a second custom multiplier
Each level includes a compact label showing:
The price of the level
The percentage distance from the close price
Use cases:
Identify realistic intraday or swing price movement boundaries
Build volatility-aware take-profit and stop-loss zones
Visually track market compression or expansion in context
Customization:
ATR period and timeframe
Two independent ATR multipliers
Custom color settings for each group of levels
Mandelbrot Risk Bands (Dynamic Chart-Scaled)I used Chatgpt to come up with a Madelbrot style risk bands. Thought process is similar to how Hedgeye thinks about the markets. I am currently having issues with the script not updating or scaling so if there are any ideas please let me know.
ATR-Stop-SurvivalHow to Use the ATR-Stop-Survival Indicator
This indicator was designed to prioritize functionality, removing unnecessary elements and focusing only on what is essential for survival in the financial market. It is easy to understand for both beginner and experienced traders, avoiding visual clutter and unnecessary buttons.
Key Features:
Uses only 1 indicator on the chart, unlike the previous version, which consumed 2 indicators.
Recommended for 4-hour timeframes. If desired, it can also be used in 2-hour or 3-hour intervals.
Not recommended for daily, weekly, or monthly timeframes, as they are too long and may lead to significant financial losses due to stop-loss activation.
ATR Period Adjustment: The default is 14, but it can be set to 20, if preferred.
ATR Multiplier Settings:
1.5 (Conservative) → For calm and stable assets.
2.0 (Aggressive) → For volatile, fast-moving assets with high candle retracement.
This indicator is a practical tool that ensures clarity and efficiency, allowing traders to focus only on critical market movements without distractions.
Average True Range (50%)This script is used to calculate and display the Average True Range (ATR) scaled down to 50% of its original value. ATR is a volatility indicator that measures how much the price of an asset moves within a certain period. This script allows users to choose a smoothing method to calculate the ATR, including RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA.
Choppiness ZONE OverlayPurpose
This script overlays choppiness zones directly onto the price chart to help traders identify whether the market is trending or ranging. It is designed to filter out low-probability trades during high choppiness conditions.
How It Works
Calculates the Choppiness Index over a user-defined period using ATR and price range.
Divides choppiness into four zones:
30 to 40: Low choppiness, possible trend initiation, shown in yellow.
40 to 50: Moderate choppiness, transition zone, shown in orange.
50 to 60: High choppiness, weakening momentum, shown in red.
60 and above: Extreme choppiness, avoid trading, shown in purple.
Highlights each zone with customizable color fills between the high and low of the selected range.
Triggers a real-time alert when choppiness exceeds 60.
Features
Customizable choppiness zones and color settings.
Real-time alert when market becomes extremely choppy (choppiness ≥ 60).
Visual zone overlay on the price chart.
Compatible with all timeframes.
Lightweight and responsive for scalping, intraday, or swing trading.
Tip
Use this tool as a volatility or trend filter. Combine it with momentum or trend-following indicators to improve trade selection.

ATR Percentage TableSimple ATR shows the average price change per candle. In order to enter a trade, I need to know how much percent I will win.
I should enter the game for the cross with the highest percentage change. I created a table by entering a cross name in each line in the list and made it possible to follow the changes in the active window.
I sorted the ATR change percentages from largest to smallest. Being able to see the highest percentage change is an answer to the question of which crosses I should choose to open a trade.
Range Progress TrackerRANGE PROGRESS TRACKER(RPT)
PURPOSE
This indicator helps traders visually and statistically understand how much of the typical price range (measured by ATR) has already been covered in the current period (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). It includes key features to assist in trend exhaustion analysis, reversal spotting, and smart alerting.
CORE LOGIC
The indicator calculates the current range of the selected time frame (e.g., Daily), which is:
Current Range = High - Low
This is then compared to the ATR (Average True Range) of the same time frame, which represents the average price movement range over a defined period (default is 14).
The comparison is expressed as a percentage, calculated with this formula:
Range % = (Current Range / ATR) × 100
This percentage shows how much of the “average expected move” has already occurred.
WHY IT MATTERS
When the current range approaches or exceeds 100% of ATR, it means the price has already moved as much as it typically does in a full session.
This indicates a lower probability of continuing the trend with a new high or low, especially when the price is already near the session's high or low.
This setup can signal:
A possible consolidation phase
A reversal in trend
The market entering a corrective phase
SMART ALERTS
The indicator can alert you when:
A new high is made after the range percentage exceeds your set threshold.
A new low is made after the range percentage exceeds your set threshold.
You can adjust the Range % Alert Threshold in the settings to tailor it to your trading style.
Realtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical OverlayRealtime ATR-Based Stop Loss Numerical Overlay
A simple, effective tool for dynamic risk management based on ATR (Average True Range) without adding cluttered and distracting lines all over your chart.
📌 Description
This script plots a real-time stop loss level using the Average True Range (ATR) on your chart, helping you set consistent, volatility-based stops. It supports both:
✅ Current chart timeframe
✅ Custom fixed timeframe inputs (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, etc.)
The stop level is calculated as:
Stop = ATR × Multiplier
and updates in real-time. An overlay table displays on the bottom-right of your chart with the calculated stop value in a clean, simple way.
⚙️ Settings
ATR Timeframe Source:
Choose between using the current chart's timeframe or a fixed one (e.g. 5, 15, 60, D, etc).
ATR Length:
Period used to calculate the ATR (default is 14).
Stop Loss Multiplier:
Multiplies the ATR value to define your stop (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
Wait for Timeframe Closes:
If enabled, the ATR value waits for the selected timeframe’s candle to close before updating. If unselected, it will update in real time.
🛠️ How to Use
Add this script to your chart from your indicators list.
Configure your desired timeframe, ATR length, and multiplier in the settings panel.
Use the value shown in the table overlay as your suggested stop loss distance from entry.
Adjust your position sizing accordingly to fit your risk tolerance.
This tool is especially useful for traders looking for adaptive risk management that evolves with market volatility — whether scalping intraday or swing trading.
💡 Pro Tip
The ATR stop can also be used to dynamically trail your stop behind price movement.
Adaptive Momentum Flow (AMF)Overview
The Adaptive Momentum Flow (AMF) indicator is a powerful, multi-faceted tool designed to provide a comprehensive and adaptive view of market momentum and trend strength. Unlike traditional oscillators with fixed settings, AMF dynamically adjusts its calculations based on market volatility , ensuring its signals remain relevant across varying market conditions. By combining advanced Double Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA) with a powerful volume analysis component and a customizable scoring system, AMF offers a unique perspective on price action and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Key Features & How It Works
1. Adaptive DEMA Trend Strength:
At its core, AMF utilizes three DEMA lines (Fast, Medium, Slow) to assess the current trend's alignment and strength.
The indicator dynamically adjusts the lengths of these DEMA lines based on real-time market volatility, measured by Average True Range (ATR). This means AMF becomes more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calmer periods.
A "Volatility Sensitivity" input allows you to fine-tune how aggressively the indicator adapts to these changes.
2. Volume Analysis (Buying/Selling Pressure):
AMF incorporates a dedicated volume analysis module to gauge whether volume is predominantly supporting upward or downward price movements. This helps identify periods of significant buying or selling pressure.
This volume analysis component is smoothed with an adjustable Moving Average (SMA, EMA, WMA, or DEMA) and contributes to the overall momentum score, adding a crucial layer of volume-driven confirmation to the analysis.
3. Comprehensive Scoring System:
The indicator generates a normalized "Oscillator Score" that ranges from -100 to 100. This score is a weighted sum of:
Price's relationship to the Fast DEMA.
The Fast DEMA's relationship to the Medium DEMA.
The Medium DEMA's relationship to the Slow DEMA.
The smoothed value from the volume analysis.
Each component's influence on the final score can be individually adjusted via input weights, allowing for deep customization.
Signal Line & Crossovers:
A smoothed "Signal Line" provides additional confirmation for momentum shifts. Crossovers between the main AMF line and its Signal Line can indicate potential changes in market direction.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Adjustable Overbought (default 70) and Oversold (default -70) levels visually highlight extreme momentum conditions.
These zones are enhanced with a color fill effect (bright red for overbought, bright cyan for oversold), making it easy to spot when the market is entering potentially exhausted states.
Crucially, these extreme zones can often be further validated by combining them with volatility bands (like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels as shown in the chart above) or other confluence indicators, offering stronger signals for potential reversals or exhaustion.
Benefits for Traders
Reduced Lag: DEMA's inherent design helps minimize lag compared to traditional moving averages, providing more timely signals.
Adaptive Intelligence: Automatically adjusts to market volatility, ensuring the indicator's sensitivity is appropriate for current conditions.
Holistic Momentum View: Combines price-based trend alignment with volume-based pressure for a more robust assessment of market flow.
Clear Visual Cues: Intuitive plots, signal line, and vibrant overbought/oversold zone fills make interpretation straightforward.
Customizable: Extensive input options allow traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading style, asset, and timeframe.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Look for the AMF line and its Signal Line to align with the price trend.
Momentum Shifts: Crossovers between the AMF line and its Signal Line can indicate shifts in momentum.
Extreme Conditions: Pay attention when the AMF line enters the neon-highlighted overbought or oversold zones, signaling potential reversals or pauses in the current momentum. Always consider confirming these signals with other analysis tools, such as price action, chart patterns, support/resistance levels, or volatility indicators.
Customization: Experiment with the "Volatility Sensitivity," DEMA multipliers, and scoring weights to find the optimal settings for your trading strategy.
Ultimate Volatility CloudUltimate Volatility Cloud
The Ultimate Volatility Cloud is a powerful and highly customizable indicator designed to help traders visualize market volatility, easily identify trend, and overextended moves in price with adaptive bands. It combines the strengths of the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average, Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average, ATR Channels, and Standard Deviation bands, offering multiple pre-configured profiles and extensive customization options.
Key Features:
Dynamic Volatility Bands: The indicator plots multiple layers of volatility bands around a central basis line, providing a comprehensive view of price deviation.
Hybrid Band Calculation: Bands are a sophisticated blend of Keltner Channels, KAMA ATR Channels and Standard Deviation, allowing for a nuanced representation of volatility.
Adaptive Smoothing: Bands are smoothed using either Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) based on the selected profile, ensuring responsiveness tailored to market conditions.
Layered Fills: The cloud uses distinct color fills for different volatility levels, making it easy to visually interpret price action relative to its typical range.
Customizable Color Themes: Choose from a variety of pre-set color themes, including "Rainbow," "Wild," and "Monochrome," or stick with classic options to suit your visual preference.
Optional Basis Line Plots: Display the EMA or KAMA basis lines (used in Keltner Channel calculations) separately on the chart for additional analysis.
Understanding the Profiles:
The indicator comes with several pre-configured "Settings Profiles" that adjust the internal parameters (Keltner Channel/KAMA Channel/Standard Deviation band blend, and band smoothing) to suit different trading styles or market environments.
1. Standard Profile:
Blend: 60% Keltner Channel, 40% Standard Deviation.
Smoothing: EMA smoothing of 3 periods.
Purpose: A balanced, general-purpose profile suitable for a wide range of market conditions. It offers a good blend of trend following and volatility awareness.
2. Responsive Profile:
Blend: 40% Keltner Channel, 60% Standard Deviation.
Smoothing: EMA smoothing of 2 period.
Purpose: Designed for traders who need quick reactions to price changes. The higher Standard Deviation blend and minimal smoothing make it highly sensitive to immediate volatility shifts, ideal for short-term analysis or identifying early moves.
3. Ranging Market Profile:
Blend: 80% KAMA ATR Channel, 20% Standard Deviation.
Smoothing: KAMA smoothing.
Purpose: Optimized for sideways or consolidating markets. By utilizing KAMA-based ATR bands and KAMA for band smoothing, this profile adapts its responsiveness to reduce whipsaws in choppy conditions, providing clearer boundaries for range-bound price action.
4. Trend Following Profile:
Blend: 90% Keltner Channel, 10% Standard Deviation.
Smoothing: EMA smoothing of 5 periods.
Purpose: Tailored for riding strong trends. The heavy emphasis on the Keltner Channel and slightly smoother bands help filter out minor fluctuations, allowing traders to focus on the dominant directional movement.
5. Conservative Profile:
Blend: 65% KAMA ATR Channel, 35% Standard Deviation.
Smoothing: EMA smoothing of 10 periods.
Purpose: Aims to provide more filtered signals and reduce noise. The KAMA basis for the Keltner Channel combined with a longer EMA smoothing period offers a slower, more confirmed view of volatility, suitable for traders seeking higher conviction entries or exits.
Example of the Ranging Market Profile
How to Use:
The volatility cloud can be interpreted in various ways:
Price within the inner bands: May indicate consolidation or a period of lower volatility.
Price pushing into outer bands: Suggests increasing volatility and potential for a strong move.
Price breaking out of extreme outer bands: Can signal significant momentum and the start or continuation of a strong trend.
Cloud expansion/contraction: Visually indicates periods of increasing or decreasing market energy.
Experiment with different profiles and settings to find the combination that best suits your trading strategy and the instruments you trade.

Candle Range DetectorCandle Range Detector
// Pine Script v6
// Detects candle-based ranges, mitigations, and sweeps with advanced logic
Overview
This indicator automatically detects price ranges based on candle containment, then tracks when those ranges are mitigated (broken) and when a sweep occurs. It is designed for traders who want to identify liquidity events and range breaks with precision.
How It Works
- Range Detection: A range is formed when a candle is fully contained within the previous candle (its high is lower and its low is higher). This marks a potential area of price balance or liquidity.
- Mitigation: A range is considered mitigated when price closes beyond its extension levels (configurable by normal or Fibonacci logic). This signals that the range has been invalidated or "taken out" by price action.
- Sweep Detection: After mitigation, the script watches for a sweep event: a candle that both trades through the range extreme and closes decisively beyond the log-mid of the candle itself. This is a strong sign of a liquidity grab or stop run.
- Alerts & Visuals: You can enable alerts and on-chart labels for sweeps. Only the most recent mitigated range can be swept, and each range can only be swept once.
- Timeframe Sensitivity: On weekly or monthly charts, a candle can both mitigate and sweep a range on the same bar. On lower timeframes, only one event can occur per bar.
Why It Works
- Candle containment is a robust way to identify natural price ranges and liquidity pools, as it reflects where price is consolidating or being absorbed.
- Mitigation marks the moment when a range is no longer defended, often leading to new directional moves.
- Sweeps are powerful signals of stop hunts or liquidity grabs, especially when confirmed by a close beyond the log-mid of the candle, indicating strong intent.
Visual Explanation
Tip: Use this tool to spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones, and to get alerted to key liquidity events in real time.
Filtered DTR Table📊 Filtered Daily True Range (DTR) Indicator
This indicator calculates and displays a filtered version of the Daily True Range (DTR) over the last 14 trading days, using high and low prices of each day.
It filters out extreme values by excluding any daily range that is:
Less than 0.5× the average range
Greater than 2× the average range
The indicator shows a table in the bottom-right corner of the main chart, containing:
Filtered ATR – The average of valid (filtered) daily ranges over the past 14 days, based on the high-low difference.
Current Day's Range – The high-low range of the current trading day.
% of ATR – How much of the filtered ATR has been covered by today's range, expressed as a whole number percentage.
Filt ADR🟠 Script Name: Filtered Average Daily Range (Filt ADR)
This script calculates a filtered version of the Average Daily Range (ADR) based on the last 14 daily candles. It's designed to reduce the influence of unusually high or low daily ranges (outliers) by applying a filter before calculating the average.
🔧 How It Works — Step by Step
1. Calculate Daily Ranges (High - Low)
It retrieves the daily price ranges (difference between daily high and low) for the last 14 days using request.security() with the "D" (daily) timeframe.
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
high - low // today's daily range
high - low // yesterday's daily range
...
These values are stored into individual variables dr0 to dr13.
2. Build an Array of Daily Ranges
An array named ranges is used to store the 14 daily ranges, but only if they are not na (missing data). This avoids errors during processing.
3. Calculate the Initial (Unfiltered) Average Range
The script sums all values in the ranges array and calculates their average:
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
avg_all = total sum of ranges / number of valid entries
4. Filter Out Outliers
Now it filters the values in ranges:
Only keeps the ranges that are between 0.5×avg_all and 2×avg_all.
This is to remove abnormally small or large daily ranges that could distort the average.
The filtered values are added to a second array called filtered.
5. Calculate the Filtered ADR
Finally, it calculates the average of the filtered daily ranges:
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
avg_filt = sum of filtered ranges / number of filtered values
This is the Filtered ADR.
6. Plot the Result
The result (avg_filt) is plotted as an orange line on the chart. It updates on each bar (depending on the current timeframe you're viewing) but the underlying data is based on the last 14 daily candles.
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
plot(avg_filt, title="Filtered ADR", color=color.orange, linewidth=2)
✅ Use Case
This script is useful for traders who use the Average Daily Range (ADR) to:
Estimate expected price movement during a day
Set volatility-based stop-loss or take-profit levels
Identify days with unusually high or low volatility
By filtering out extreme values, it provides a more stable and reliable estimate of daily volatility.
UT Bot + Hull MA Confirmed Signal DelayOverview
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability reversal entry signals by combining "UT Bot Alerts" (UT Bot Alerts script adapted from QuantNomad - Originally developed by Yo_adriiiiaan and idea of original code for "UT Bot Alerts" from HPotter ) with confirmation from a Hull Moving Average (HMA) Developed by Alan Hull . It focuses on capturing momentum shifts that often precede trend reversals, helping traders identify potential entry points while filtering out false signals.
🔍 How It Works
This strategy operates in two stages:
1. UT Bot Momentum Trigger
The foundation of this script is the "UT Bot Alerts" , which uses an ATR-based trailing stop to detect momentum changes. Specifically:
The script calculates a dynamic stop level based on the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined sensitivity factor (Key Value).
When price closes above this trailing stop and the short-term EMA crosses above the stop, a potential buy setup is triggered.
Conversely, when price closes below the trailing stop and the short-term EMA crosses below, a potential sell setup is triggered.
These UT Bot alerts are designed to identify the initial shift in market direction, acting as the first filter in the signal process.
2. Hull MA Confirmation
To reduce noise and false triggers from the UT Bot alone, this script delays the entry signal until price confirms the move by crossing the Hull Moving Average (or its variants: HMA, THMA, EHMA) in the same direction as the UT Bot trigger:
A Buy Signal is generated only when:
A UT Bot Buy condition is active, and
The price closes above the Hull MA.
Or, if a UT Bot Buy condition was recently triggered but price hadn’t yet crossed above the Hull MA, a delayed buy is signaled when price finally breaks above it.
A Sell Signal is generated only when:
A UT Bot Sell condition is active, and
The price closes below the Hull MA.
Similarly, a delayed sell signal can occur if price breaks below the Hull MA shortly after a UT Bot Sell trigger.
This dual-confirmation process helps traders avoid premature entries and improves the reliability of reversal signals.
📈 Best Use Cases
Reversal Trading: This strategy is particularly well-suited for catching early trend reversals rather than trend continuations. It excels at identifying momentum pivots that occur after pullbacks or exhaustion moves.
Heikin Ashi Charts Recommended: The script offers a Heikin Ashi mode for smoothing out noise and enhancing visual clarity. Using Heikin Ashi candles can further reduce whipsaws and highlight cleaner shifts in trend direction.
MACD Alignment: For best results, trade in the direction of the MACD trend or use it as a filter to avoid counter-trend trades.
⚠️ Important Notes
Entry Signals Only: This indicator only plots entry points (Buy and Sell signals). It does not define exit strategies, so users should manage trades manually using trailing stops, profit targets, or other exit indicators.
No Signal = No Confirmation: You may see a UT Bot trigger without a corresponding Buy/Sell signal. This means the price did not confirm the move by crossing the Hull MA, and therefore the setup was considered too weak or incomplete.
⚙️ Customization
UT Bot Sensitivity: Adjust the “Key Value” and “ATR Period” to make the UT Bot more or less reactive to price action.
Use Heikin Ashi: Toggle between standard candles or Heikin Ashi in the indicator settings for a smoother trading experience.
The HMA length may also be modified in the indicator settings from its standard 55 length to increase or decrease the sensitivity of signal.
This strategy is best used by traders looking for a structured, logic-based way to enter early into reversals with added confirmation to reduce risk. By combining two independent systems—momentum detection (UT Bot) and trend confirmation (Hull MA)—it aims to provide high-confidence entries without overwhelming complexity.
Let the indicator guide your entries—you manage the exits.
Examples of use:
Futures:
Stock:
Crypto:
As shown in the snapshots this strategy, like most, works the best when price action has a sizeable ATR and works the least when price is choppy. Therefore it is always best to use this system when price is coming off known support or resistance levels and when it is seen to respect short term EMA's like the 9 or 15.
My personal preference to use this system is for day trading on a 3 or 5 minute chart. But it is valid for all timeframes and simply marks a high probability for a new trend to form.

ADR & ATR Extension from EMAThis indicator helps identify how extended the current price is from a chosen Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in terms of both Average Daily Range (ADR) and Average True Range (ATR).
It calculates:
ADR Extension = (Price - EMA) / ADR
ATR Extension = (Price - EMA) / ATR
The results are shown in a floating table on the chart.
The ADR line turns red if the price is more than 4 ADRs above the selected EMA
Customization Options:
- Select EMA length
- Choose between close or high as price input
- Set ADR and ATR periods
- Customize the label’s position, color, and transparency
- Use the chart's timeframe or a fixed timeframe
(MVD) Meta-Volatility Divergence (DAFE) Meta-Volatility Divergence (MVD)
Reveal the Hidden Tension in Volatility.
The Meta-Volatility Divergence (MVD) indicator is a next-generation tool designed to expose the disagreement between multiple volatility measures—helping you spot when the market’s “volatility engines” are out of sync, and a regime shift or volatility event may be brewing.
What Makes MVD Unique?
Multi-Source Volatility Analysis:
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that rely on a single measure, MVD fuses four distinct volatility signals:
ATR (Average True Range): Captures the average range of price movement.
Stdev (Standard Deviation): Measures the dispersion of closing prices.
Range: The average difference between high and low.
VoVix: A proprietary “volatility of volatility” metric, quantifying the difference between fast and slow ATR, normalized by ATR’s own volatility.
Divergence Engine:
The core MVD line (yellow) represents the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of these volatility measures from their average. When the line is flat, all volatility measures are in agreement. When the line rises, it means the market’s volatility signals are diverging—often a precursor to regime shifts, volatility expansions, or hidden stress.
Dynamic Z-Score Normalization:
The MVD line is normalized as a Z-score, so you can easily spot when current divergence is rare or extreme compared to recent history.
Visual Clarity:
Yellow center line: Tracks the real-time divergence of volatility measures.
Green dashed thresholds: Mark the ±2.00 Z-score levels, highlighting when divergence is unusually high and action may be warranted.
Dashboard: Toggleable panel shows all key metrics (ATR, Stdev, VoVix, MVD Z) and your custom branding.
Compact Info Label : For mobile or minimalist users, a single-line summary keeps you informed without clutter.
What Makes The MVD line move?
- The MVD line rises when the included volatility measures (ATR, Stdev, Range, VoVix) are moving in different directions or at different magnitudes. For example, if ATR is rising but Stdev is falling, the line will move up, signaling disagreement.
- The line falls or flattens when all volatility measures are in sync, indicating a consensus in the market’s volatility regime.
- VoVix adds a unique dimension, making the indicator especially sensitive to sudden changes in volatility structure that most tools miss.
Inputs & Settings
ATR Length: Sets the lookback for ATR calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother.
Stdev Length: Sets the lookback for standard deviation. Adjust for your asset’s volatility.
Range Length: Sets the lookback for the average high-low range.
MVD Lookback: Controls the window for Z-score normalization. Higher values = more historical context, lower = more responsive.
Show Dashboard: Toggle the full dashboard panel on/off.
Show Compact Info Label: Toggle the mobile-friendly info line on/off.
Tip:
Adjust these settings to match your asset’s volatility and your trading timeframe. There is no “one size fits all”—tuning is key to extracting the most value from MVD.
How to make MVD work for you:
Threshold Crosses: When the MVD line crosses above or below the green dashed thresholds (±2.00), it signals that volatility measures are diverging more than usual. This is a heads-up that a volatility event, regime shift, or hidden market stress may be developing.
Not a Buy/Sell Signal: A threshold cross is not a direct buy or sell signal. It is an indication that the market’s volatility structure is changing. Use it as a filter, confirmation, or alert in combination with your own strategy and risk management.
Dashboard & Info Line: Use the dashboard for a full view of all metrics, or the info label for a quick glance—especially useful on mobile.
