Multifractal Forecast [ScorsoneEnterprises]Multifractal Forecast Indicator
The Multifractal Forecast is an indicator designed to model and forecast asset price movements using a multifractal framework. It uses concepts from fractal geometry and stochastic processes, specifically the Multifractal Model of Asset Returns (MMAR) and fractional Brownian motion (fBm), to generate price forecasts based on historical price data. The indicator visualizes potential future price paths as colored lines, providing traders with a probabilistic view of price trends over a specified trading time scale. Below is a detailed breakdown of the indicator’s functionality, inputs, calculations, and visualization.
Overview
Purpose: The indicator forecasts future price movements by simulating multiple price paths based on a multifractal model, which accounts for the complex, non-linear behavior of financial markets.
Key Concepts:
Multifractal Model of Asset Returns (MMAR): Models price movements as a multifractal process, capturing varying degrees of volatility and self-similarity across different time scales.
Fractional Brownian Motion (fBm): A generalization of Brownian motion that incorporates long-range dependence and self-similarity, controlled by the Hurst exponent.
Binomial Cascade: Used to model trading time, introducing heterogeneity in time scales to reflect market activity bursts.
Hurst Exponent: Measures the degree of long-term memory in the price series (persistence, randomness, or mean-reversion).
Rescaled Range (R/S) Analysis: Estimates the Hurst exponent to quantify the fractal nature of the price series.
Inputs
The indicator allows users to customize its behavior through several input parameters, each influencing the multifractal model and forecast generation:
Maximum Lag (max_lag):
Type: Integer
Default: 50
Minimum: 5
Purpose: Determines the maximum lag used in the rescaled range (R/S) analysis to calculate the Hurst exponent. A higher lag increases the sample size for Hurst estimation but may smooth out short-term dynamics.
2 to the n values in the Multifractal Model (n):
Type: Integer
Default: 4
Purpose: Defines the resolution of the multifractal model by setting the size of arrays used in calculations (N = 2^n). For example, n=4 results in N=16 data points. Larger n increases computational complexity and detail but may exceed Pine Script’s array size limits (capped at 100,000).
Multiplier for Binomial Cascade (m):
Type: Float
Default: 0.8
Purpose: Controls the asymmetry in the binomial cascade, which models trading time. The multiplier m (and its complement 2.0 - m) determines how mass is distributed across time scales. Values closer to 1 create more balanced cascades, while values further from 1 introduce more variability.
Length Scale for fBm (L):
Type: Float
Default: 100,000.0
Purpose: Scales the fractional Brownian motion output, affecting the amplitude of simulated price paths. Larger values increase the magnitude of forecasted price movements.
Cumulative Sum (cum):
Type: Integer (0 or 1)
Default: 1
Purpose: Toggles whether the fBm output is cumulatively summed (1=On, 0=Off). When enabled, the fBm series is accumulated to simulate a price path with memory, resembling a random walk with long-range dependence.
Trading Time Scale (T):
Type: Integer
Default: 5
Purpose: Defines the forecast horizon in bars (20 bars into the future). It also scales the binomial cascade’s output to align with the desired trading time frame.
Number of Simulations (num_simulations):
Type: Integer
Default: 5
Minimum: 1
Purpose: Specifies how many forecast paths are simulated and plotted. More simulations provide a broader range of possible price outcomes but increase computational load.
Core Calculations
The indicator combines several mathematical and statistical techniques to generate price forecasts. Below is a step-by-step explanation of its calculations:
Log Returns (lgr):
The indicator calculates log returns as math.log(close / close ) when both the current and previous close prices are positive. This measures the relative price change in a logarithmic scale, which is standard for financial time series analysis to stabilize variance.
Hurst Exponent Estimation (get_hurst_exponent):
Purpose: Estimates the Hurst exponent (H) to quantify the degree of long-term memory in the price series.
Method: Uses rescaled range (R/S) analysis:
For each lag from 2 to max_lag, the function calc_rescaled_range computes the rescaled range:
Calculate the mean of the log returns over the lag period.
Compute the cumulative deviation from the mean.
Find the range (max - min) of the cumulative deviation.
Divide the range by the standard deviation of the log returns to get the rescaled range.
The log of the rescaled range (log(R/S)) is regressed against the log of the lag (log(lag)) using the polyfit_slope function.
The slope of this regression is the Hurst exponent (H).
Interpretation:
H = 0.5: Random walk (no memory, like standard Brownian motion).
H > 0.5: Persistent behavior (trends tend to continue).
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting behavior (price tends to revert to the mean).
Fractional Brownian Motion (get_fbm):
Purpose: Generates a fractional Brownian motion series to model price movements with long-range dependence.
Inputs: n (array size 2^n), H (Hurst exponent), L (length scale), cum (cumulative sum toggle).
Method:
Computes covariance for fBm using the formula: 0.5 * (|i+1|^(2H) - 2 * |i|^(2H) + |i-1|^(2H)).
Uses Hosking’s method (referenced from Columbia University’s implementation) to generate fBm:
Initializes arrays for covariance (cov), intermediate calculations (phi, psi), and output.
Iteratively computes the fBm series by incorporating a random term scaled by the variance (v) and covariance structure.
Applies scaling based on L / N^H to adjust the amplitude.
Optionally applies cumulative summation if cum = 1 to produce a path with memory.
Output: An array of 2^n values representing the fBm series.
Binomial Cascade (get_binomial_cascade):
Purpose: Models trading time (theta) to account for non-uniform market activity (e.g., bursts of volatility).
Inputs: n (array size 2^n), m (multiplier), T (trading time scale).
Method:
Initializes an array of size 2^n with values of 1.0.
Iteratively applies a binomial cascade:
For each block (from 0 to n-1), splits the array into segments.
Randomly assigns a multiplier (m or 2.0 - m) to each segment, redistributing mass.
Normalizes the array by dividing by its sum and scales by T.
Checks for array size limits to prevent Pine Script errors.
Output: An array (theta) representing the trading time, which warps the fBm to reflect market activity.
Interpolation (interpolate_fbm):
Purpose: Maps the fBm series to the trading time scale to produce a forecast.
Method:
Computes the cumulative sum of theta and normalizes it to .
Interpolates the fBm series linearly based on the normalized trading time.
Ensures the output aligns with the trading time scale (T).
Output: An array of interpolated fBm values representing log returns over the forecast horizon.
Price Path Generation:
For each simulation (up to num_simulations):
Generates an fBm series using get_fbm.
Interpolates it with the trading time (theta) using interpolate_fbm.
Converts log returns to price levels:
Starts with the current close price.
For each step i in the forecast horizon (T), computes the price as prev_price * exp(log_return).
Output: An array of price levels for each simulation.
Visualization:
Trigger: Updates every T bars when the bar state is confirmed (barstate.isconfirmed).
Process:
Clears previous lines from line_array.
For each simulation, plots a line from the current bar’s close price to the forecasted price at bar_index + T.
Colors the line using a gradient (color.from_gradient) based on the final forecasted price relative to the minimum and maximum forecasted prices across all simulations (red for lower prices, teal for higher prices).
Output: Multiple colored lines on the chart, each representing a possible price path over the next T bars.
How It Works on the Chart
Initialization: On each bar, the indicator calculates the Hurst exponent (H) using historical log returns and prepares the trading time (theta) using the binomial cascade.
Forecast Generation: Every T bars, it generates num_simulations price paths:
Each path starts at the current close price.
Uses fBm to model log returns, warped by the trading time.
Converts log returns to price levels.
Plotting: Draws lines from the current bar to the forecasted price T bars ahead, with colors indicating relative price levels.
Dynamic Updates: The forecast updates every T bars, replacing old lines with new ones based on the latest price data and calculations.
Key Features
Multifractal Modeling: Captures complex market dynamics by combining fBm (long-range dependence) with a binomial cascade (non-uniform time).
Customizable Parameters: Allows users to adjust the forecast horizon, model resolution, scaling, and number of simulations.
Probabilistic Forecast: Multiple simulations provide a range of possible price outcomes, helping traders assess uncertainty.
Visual Clarity: Gradient-colored lines make it easy to distinguish bullish (teal) and bearish (red) forecasts.
Potential Use Cases
Trend Analysis: Identify potential price trends or reversals based on the direction and spread of forecast lines.
Risk Assessment: Evaluate the range of possible price outcomes to gauge market uncertainty.
Volatility Analysis: The Hurst exponent and binomial cascade provide insights into market persistence and volatility clustering.
Limitations
Computational Intensity: Large values of n or num_simulations may slow down execution or hit Pine Script’s array size limits.
Randomness: The binomial cascade and fBm rely on random terms (math.random), which may lead to variability between runs.
Assumptions: The model assumes log-normal price movements and fractal behavior, which may not always hold in extreme market conditions.
Adjusting Inputs:
Set max_lag based on the desired depth of historical analysis.
Adjust n for model resolution (start with 4–6 to avoid performance issues).
Tune m to control trading time variability (0.5–1.5 is typical).
Set L to scale the forecast amplitude (experiment with values like 10,000–1,000,000).
Choose T based on your trading horizon (20 for short-term, 50 for longer-term for example).
Select num_simulations for the number of forecast paths (5–10 is reasonable for visualization).
Interpret Output:
Teal lines suggest bullish scenarios, red lines suggest bearish scenarios.
A wide spread of lines indicates high uncertainty; convergence suggests a stronger trend.
Monitor Updates: Forecasts update every T bars, so check the chart periodically for new projections.
Chart Examples
This is a daily AMEX:SPY chart with default settings. We see the simulations being done every T bars and they provide a range for us to analyze with a few simulations still in the range.
On this intraday PEPPERSTONE:COCOA chart I modified the Length Scale for fBm, L, parameter to be 1000 from 100000. Adjusting the parameter as you switch between timeframes can give you more contextual simulations.
On BITSTAMP:ETHUSD I modified the L to be 1000000 to have a more contextual set of simulations with crypto's volatile nature.
With L at 100000 we see the range for NASDAQ:TLT is correctly simulated. The recent pop stays within the bounds of the highest simulation. Note this is a cherry picked example to show the power and potential of these simulations.
Technical Notes
Error Handling: The script includes checks for array size limits and division by zero (math.abs(denominator) > 1e-10, v := math.max(v, 1e-10)).
External Reference: The fBm implementation is based on Hosking’s method (www.columbia.edu), ensuring a robust algorithm.
Conclusion
The Multifractal Forecast is a powerful tool for traders seeking to model complex market dynamics using a multifractal framework. By combining fBm, binomial cascades, and Hurst exponent analysis, it generates probabilistic price forecasts that account for long-range dependence and non-uniform market activity. Its customizable inputs and clear visualizations make it suitable for both technical analysis and strategy development, though users should be mindful of its computational demands and parameter sensitivity. For optimal use, experiment with input settings and validate forecasts against other technical indicators or market conditions.

Real-Time Spring DetectorThis is a Pine Script for Trading View that creates a "Real-Time Spring Detector" indicator. This Pine Script is essentially a sophisticated pattern recognition tool that helps identify "spring" setups - a popular trading pattern where price briefly breaks below support but then bounces back strongly, often indicating that sellers are exhausted and buyers are ready to step in.What is a "Spring" in Trading?
A spring is a technical analysis pattern that occurs when:
Price breaks below a support level (like breaking below a floor)
But then quickly bounces back up (like a spring rebounds)
This often signals that sellers are weak and buyers are stepping in
Think of it like testing the strength of a trampoline - you push down, but it springs back up stronger.
What This Script Does
This Pine Script automatically detects spring patterns on your chart and alerts you when they happen. Here's how it works:
Main Components
1. Input Parameters (Settings You Can Adjust)
Lookback Period (10): How many bars back to look for patterns
Min Support Touches (2): How many times price must touch the support level
Min Penetration % (0.1%): How far below support price must break
Min Rejection % (30%): How much price must bounce back up
Alert Settings: Choose when to get notifications
2. Support Level Detection
The script finds "support levels" - price levels where buyers have stepped in before:
It looks at recent low points
Identifies areas where price has bounced multiple times
Uses a small tolerance (0.5%) to account for minor price differences
3. Spring Detection Logic
The script identifies three types of springs:
Real-Time Spring (happening right now):
Price breaks below support by the minimum amount
Price bounces back strongly (rejection %)
Current candle closes higher than it opened (bullish)
Volume is reasonable
Confirmed Spring (already completed):
Same as real-time, but the candle has finished forming
Potential Spring (early warning):
Price is near support but hasn't fully formed the pattern yet
4. Visual Elements
Markers on Chart:
🟢 Green Triangle: Confirmed spring (reliable signal)
🟡 Yellow Triangle: Spring forming right now (live signal)
🟠 Orange Circle: Potential spring (early warning)
Labels:
Show "SPRING" with the rejection percentage
"FORMING" for developing patterns
"?" for potential springs
Support Line:
Red dotted line showing the support level
Background Colors:
Light red when price penetrates support
Light yellow for potential springs
5. Information Box
A table in the top-left corner shows:
Current support level price
Whether penetration is happening
Rejection percentage
Current pattern status
Live price
6. Alert System
Two types of alerts:
Real-time alerts: Notify when spring is forming (current bar)
Confirmed alerts: Notify when spring is complete (bar closed)
Alert cooldown: Prevents spam by waiting 5 bars between alerts
How to Use This Script
1. Installation
Copy the script code
Open TradingView
Go to Pine Editor
Paste the code
Click "Add to Chart"
2. Settings
Adjust the input parameters based on your trading style:
Lower lookback = more sensitive, faster signals
Higher support touches = more reliable but fewer signals
Lower penetration % = catches smaller springs
Higher rejection % = only strong bounces
3. Interpretation
Green triangles: High-confidence buy signals
Yellow triangles: Watch closely, pattern developing
Orange circles: Early warning, not tradeable yet
4. Best Practices
Use on higher timeframes (15min+) for more reliable signals
Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Pay attention to volume - higher volume springs are more reliable
Wait for confirmed signals if you're a conservative trader
Key Features for Small Timeframes
The script includes special detection for shorter timeframes:
Quick bounce detection: Identifies rapid reversals
Hammer pattern recognition: Spots candlestick patterns
Relaxed volume requirements: Works when volume data is limited
Advanced Features
Volume Analysis
Compares current volume to 10-bar average
Requires at least 80% of average volume (flexible for small timeframes)
Pattern Enhancement
Looks for hammer-like candles (long lower wick, small upper wick)
Identifies quick bounces where the upper wick is small
Multiple Confirmation
Combines multiple criteria to reduce false signals
Stronger springs get priority for alerts
Common Use Cases
Entry Signals: Buy when confirmed springs appear
Support Level Identification: Visual support lines help identify key levels
Risk Management: Failed springs (continued breakdown) can be stop-loss triggers
Market Structure: Understanding where buyers are defending price levels
Limitations
Works best in trending or ranging markets May produce false signals in very choppy conditions
small timeframe signals can be noisy should be combined with other analysis methods.The key advantage is that it can catch these patterns as they happen, rather than you having to constantly watch charts. This is especially valuable for active traders who want to capitalize on quick reversals at support levels.
LRHA Trend Shift DetectorLRHA Trend Shift Detector (TSD)
The LRHA Trend Shift Detector is an advanced momentum exhaustion indicator that identifies potential trend reversals and changes by analyzing Linear Regression Heikin Ashi (LRHA) candle patterns. TSD focuses on detecting when strong directional moves begin to lose momentum.
🔬 Methodology
The indicator employs a three-stage detection process:
LRHA Calculation: Applies linear regression smoothing to Heikin Ashi candles, creating ultra-smooth trend-following candles that filter out market noise
Extended Move Detection: Identifies sustained directional moves by counting consecutive bullish or bearish LRHA candles
Momentum Exhaustion Analysis: Monitors for significant changes in candle size compared to recent averages
When an extended move shows clear signs of momentum exhaustion, the indicator signals a potential trend shift with red dots plotted above or below your candlesticks.
⚙️ Parameters
Core Settings
LRHA Length (11): Linear regression period for smoothing calculations. Lower values = more responsive, higher values = smoother trends.
Minimum Trend Bars (4): Consecutive candles required to establish an "extended move." Higher number detects longer term trend changes.
Exhaustion Bars (3): Number of consecutively smaller candles needed to signal exhaustion. Lower is more sensitive.
Size Reduction Threshold (40%): Percentage decrease in candle size to qualify as "exhaustion." Lower is more sensitive.
Trend Trading
Pullback Entries: Identify exhaustion in counter-trend moves for trend continuation
Exit Strategy: Recognize when main trend momentum is fading
Position Sizing: Reduce size when seeing exhaustion in your direction
🎛️ Optimization Tips
For More Signals (Aggressive)
- Decrease LRHA Length (7-9)
- Reduce Minimum Trend Bars (2-3)
- Lower Size Reduction Threshold (25-35%)
For Higher Quality (Conservative)
- Increase LRHA Length (13-18)
- Raise Minimum Trend Bars (5-6)
- Higher Size Reduction Threshold (45-55%)
⚠️ Important Notes⚠️
- **Not a Complete Strategy**: Use as confluence with other analysis methods
- **Market Context Matters**: Consider overall trend direction and key support/resistance levels
- **Risk Management Essential**: Always use proper position sizing and stop losses
- **Backtest First**: Optimize parameters for your specific trading style and instruments

Absolute High and Low {Darkoexe}This indicator identifies and visually highlights the absolute highest and lowest closing prices on a chart. It is designed to help traders quickly recognize major price extremes that can serve as significant support/resistance levels or turning points in historical price action.
🔧 What It Does
The script plots persistent horizontal lines on your chart to mark either:
The absolute highest and lowest closing prices of the entire visible chart, or
The highest and lowest closing prices within a custom range of candles, defined by the user.
These price levels are plotted using thick green and red lines, respectively, and are updated dynamically as new highs or lows are set.
⚙️ How It Works
When “Use all candles” is enabled, the script continuously updates the high and low lines based on the full price history of the chart. These lines remain until a new extreme is made.
When disabled, the script checks only the most recent N candles (max bars back input). It scans this window to find and plot the highest and lowest closes.
The lines extend to the right to help users visually anchor these key levels in future price action.
🎯 Use Cases
Spotting extreme price levels for potential mean-reversion strategies.
Confirming breakout or breakdown conditions.
Defining long-term support and resistance zones.
This tool is especially useful for discretionary traders who value historical context and want clear visual markers for past price extremes.
⚠️ Notes and Limitations
This script is not predictive. It simply marks historical price extremes based on closing values.
When using the fixed range mode (max bars back), be aware that values outside this range will not be considered.
The indicator does not repaint, but in full chart mode, it updates only when a new extreme is formed.

Multi Asset Comparative📊 Multi Asset Comparative – Compare Baskets of Cryptos Visually
This indicator allows you to compare the performance of two groups of cryptocurrencies (or any assets) over time, using a clean and intuitive chart.
Instead of looking at each asset separately, this tool gives you a global view by showing how one group performs relative to another — all displayed in the form of candlesticks.
🧠 What This Tool Is For
Markets constantly shift, and capital rotates between sectors or tokens. This script helps you visually track those shifts by answering a key question:
"Is this group of assets getting stronger or weaker compared to another group?"
For example:
Compare altcoins vs Bitcoin
Track the DeFi sector vs Ethereum
Analyze your custom portfolio vs the market
Spot moments when money flows from majors to smaller caps, or vice versa
🧩 How It Works (Simplified)
You select two groups of assets:
Group 1 (up to 20 assets) — the one you want to analyze
Group 2 (up to 5 assets) — your comparison baseline
The indicator then creates a single line of candles that represents the performance of Group 1 compared to Group 2. If the candles go up, it means Group 1 is gaining strength over Group 2. If the candles go down, it's losing ground.
This lets you see market dynamics in one glance, instead of switching charts or running calculations manually.
🚀 Why It's Unique
Unlike many indicators that just show data from one asset, this one provides a bird's-eye view of multiple assets at once — condensed into a simple visual ratio.
It’s:
Customizable (you choose the assets)
Visual and intuitive (no need to interpret tables or formulas)
Actionable (helps with trend confirmation, macro views, and market rotation)
Whether you're a swing trader, a macro analyst, or building your own strategy, this tool can help you spot opportunities hidden in plain sight.
✅ How to Use It
Choose your two groups of assets (e.g., altcoins vs BTC/ETH)
Watch the direction of the candles:
Uptrend = Group 1 gaining strength over Group 2
Downtrend = Group 1 weakening
Use it to confirm market shifts, anticipate rotations, or analyze sector strength
Events assistantThis script gives an ability to manually add events to your charts. There is no option to define events for different pairs. I trade only 2-3 pairs and it helps me a lot. It also draws vertical lines that separate trading period of your selection: daily, weekly and monthly. It is also possible to strictly define trading period. I use trading period every time during backtesting so it is easy to know when to start and when to finish. It also helps to remember that I already written down trading news during selected period.
Candle Ribbon [UkutaLabs]The Candle Ribbon is a powerful trading tool that creates a strong ribbon that indicates market strength. This ribbon is created using three moving averages that use the candle values (high, low, open and close) as its input values.
The center most MA will also be colored green, red or grey depending on whether or not its direction aligns with current market strength.
The outer band lines act as range indicators, plotted above and below the center ribbon, which represent volatility boundaries for price action.
█ USAGE
The Candle Ribbon is created using a series of three moving averages that uses values from the candle as its inputs. The user has the ability to select whether the moving averages are EMAs or SMAs, as well as the ability to control the period of the moving averages.
If the moving average calculated using the Candle Open is below the moving average calculated using the Candle Close, the ribbon will be colored green, indicating a bullish trend. If the moving average calculated using the Candle Open is above the moving average calculated using the Candle Open, the ribbon will be colored red, indicating a bearish trend.
This indicator also uses a series of hidden EMAs to determine market strength. If these EMAs do not align with the direction of the Candle Ribbon, the middle MA will instead be colored grey, indicating uncertainty in the market, as well as a possible reversal.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Moving Average Type: Determines whether or not the Candle Moving Averages will be drawn as EMAs or SMAs.
• Moving Average Period: Determines the period of the Candle Moving Averages.
Moving Average
• Moving Average Input: Determines the input values for the hidden EMAs.
Algorithmic Candle Finder {Darkoexe}Algorithmic Candle Finder Indicator
Algorithmic candles are candles whose size and direction are significantly influenced by institutions or large players using market algorithms. These entities can move large amounts of capital in or out of the market, creating price moves that are often difficult for retail traders to predict or react to.
This can make short-term retail trading risky and inconsistent, especially when unaware of such institutional activity. The goal of this indicator is to help identify such candles, allowing traders to avoid trading during times of potential algorithmic influence.
Detection Criteria:
A candle is marked as algorithmic if either of the following conditions are met:
Size-Based Detection: If the current candle’s size exceeds the Average True Range (ATR) of the previous candle multiplied by the ATR factor input.
Volume-Based Detection: If the current candle’s volume exceeds the average volume of recent candles (e.g., last N candles) multiplied by the volume factor input.
When a candle is deemed algorithmic, a label saying "Algo!!!!!" will appear on the chart above the candle where the condition occurred.
Usage:
Use this indicator to study which times of day algorithmic candles frequently appear. This can help you adjust your strategy to avoid trading during these unpredictable moments.
Analogy:
Think of the market like the game Agar.io: small players (retail traders) collect small pellets to grow, while larger players (institutions) devour smaller ones. The small players must avoid the big ones to survive. Likewise, in trading, retail traders should aim to avoid high-impact algorithmic activity that could “consume” their trades.

Bounce Zone📘 Bounce Zone – Indicator Description
The "Bounce Zone" indicator is a custom tool designed to highlight potential reversal zones on the chart based on volume exhaustion and price structure. It identifies sequences of candles with low volume activity and marks key price levels that could act as "bounce zones", where price is likely to react.
🔍 How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume (default: 20 periods).
It looks for at least 6 consecutive candles (configurable) where the volume is below this volume SMA.
Color Consistency:
The candles must all be of the same color:
Green candles (bullish) for potential downward bounce zones.
Red candles (bearish) for potential upward bounce zones.
Zone Detection:
When a valid sequence is found:
For green candles: it draws a horizontal line at the low of the last red candle before the sequence.
For red candles: it draws a horizontal line at the high of the last green candle before the sequence.
Bounce Tracking:
Each horizontal line remains on the chart until it is touched twice by price (high or low depending on direction).
After two touches, the line is automatically removed, indicating the zone has fulfilled its purpose.
📈 Use Cases
Identify areas of price exhaustion after strong directional pushes.
Spot liquidity zones where institutions might step in.
Combine with candlestick confirmation for reversal trades.
Useful in both trending and range-bound markets for entry or exit signals.
⚙️ Parameters
min_consecutive: Minimum number of consecutive low-volume candles of the same color (default: 6).
vol_ma_len: Length of the volume moving average (default: 20).
🧠 Notes
The indicator does not repaint and is based purely on historical candle and volume structure.
Designed for manual strategy confirmation or support for algorithmic setups.
Mariam Ichimoku DashboardPurpose
The Mariam Ichimoku Dashboard is designed to simplify the Ichimoku trading system for both beginners and experienced traders. It provides a complete view of trend direction, strength, momentum, and key signals all in one compact dashboard on your chart. This tool helps traders make faster and more confident decisions without having to interpret every Ichimoku element manually.
How It Works
1. Trend Strength Score
Calculates a score from -5 to +5 based on Ichimoku components.
A high positive score means strong bullish momentum.
A low negative score shows strong bearish conditions.
A near-zero score indicates a sideways or unclear market.
2. Future Cloud Bias
Looks 26 candles ahead to determine if the future cloud is bullish or bearish.
This helps identify the longer-term directional bias of the market.
3. Flat Kijun / Flat Senkou B
Detects flat zones in the Kijun or Senkou B lines.
These flat areas act as strong support or resistance and can attract price.
4. TK Cross
Identifies Tenkan-Kijun crosses:
Bullish Cross means Tenkan crosses above Kijun
Bearish Cross means Tenkan crosses below Kijun
5. Last TK Cross Info
Shows whether the last TK cross was bullish or bearish and how many candles ago it happened.
Helps track trend development and timing.
6. Chikou Span Position
Checks if the Chikou Span is above, below, or inside past price.
Above means bullish momentum
Below means bearish momentum
Inside means mixed or indecisive
7. Near-Term Forecast (Breakout)
Warns when price is near the edge of the cloud, preparing for a potential breakout.
Useful for anticipating price moves.
8. Price Breakout
Shows if price has recently broken above or below the cloud.
This can confirm the start of a new trend.
9. Future Kumo Twist
Detects upcoming twists in the cloud, which often signal potential trend reversals.
10. Ichimoku Confluence
Measures how many key Ichimoku signals are in agreement.
The more signals align, the stronger the trend confirmation.
11. Price in or Near the Cloud
Displays if the price is inside the cloud, which often indicates low clarity or a choppy market.
12. Cloud Thickness
Shows whether the cloud is thin or thick.
Thick clouds provide stronger support or resistance.
Thin clouds may allow easier breakouts.
13. Recommendation
Gives a simple trading suggestion based on all major signals.
Strong Buy, Strong Sell, or Hold.
Helps simplify decision-making at a glance.
Features
All major Ichimoku signals summarized in one panel
Real-time trend strength scoring
Detects flat zones, crosses, cloud twists, and breakouts
Visual alerts for trend alignment and signal confluence
Compact, clean design
Built with simplicity in mind for beginner traders
Tips
Best used on 15-minute to 1-hour charts for short-term trading
Avoid entering trades when price is inside the cloud because the market is often indecisive
Wait for alignment between trend score, TK cross, cloud bias, and confluence
Use the dashboard to support your trading strategy, not replace it
Enable alerts for major confluence or upcoming Kumo twists

Yearly Performance Table with CAGROverview
This Pine Script indicator provides a clear table displaying the annual performance of an asset, along with two different average metrics: the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean (CAGR).
Core Features
Annual Performance Calculation:
Automatically detects the first trading day of each calendar year.
Calculates the percentage return for each full calendar year.
Based on closing prices from the first to the last trading day of the respective year.
Flexible Display:
Adjustable Period: Displays data for 1-50 years (default: 10 years).
Daily Timeframe Only: Functions exclusively on daily charts.
Automatic Update: Always shows the latest available years.
Two Average Metrics:
AVG (Arithmetic Mean)
A simple average of all annual returns. (Formula: (R₁ + R₂ + ... + Rₙ) ÷ n)
Important: Can be misleading in the presence of volatile returns.
GEO (Geometric Mean / CAGR)
Compound Annual Growth Rate. (Formula: ^(1/n) - 1)
Represents the true average annual growth rate.
Fully accounts for the compounding effect.
Limitations
Daily Charts Only: Does not work on intraday or weekly/monthly timeframes.
Calendar Year Basis: Calculations are based on calendar years, not rolling 12-month periods.
Historical Data: Dependent on the availability of historical data from the broker/data provider.
Interpretation of Results
CAGR as Benchmark: The geometric mean is more suitable for performance comparisons.
Annual Patterns: Individual year figures can reveal seasonal or cyclical trends.
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.
