Heads UpAn indicator that gives you the "heads up" that that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing.
I wanted an indicator that could give me the "heads up" that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing. This would help me get into a breakout early or avoid entering a breakout that had a high probability of failure.
Here are my definitions for this indicator:
My bull bar definition:
- A green candle that closes above 75% of it's candle range.
- The candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ wicks CAN overlap.
My bear bar definition:
- A red candle that closes below 75% of it's candle range.
- the candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ ticks CAN overlap.
Bullish strength increasing (arrow up):
- Bull bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bull bars.
Bearish strength increasing (arrow down):
- Bear bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bear bars.
You will not see this indicator trigger very often but when it does - it's because there is a change in bullish bearish strength.
Things to be aware of:
Use the indicator in line with the context of the previous trend. You will get triggers that fail. These are usually because they appear counter trend. When in doubt zoom out.
It will not call every successful breakout. If you understand the definitions you'll understand why it appears.
This is my first indicator and used for my personal use. Feedback and other ideas are welcome.

Biquad Band Pass FilterThis indicator utilizes a biquad band pass filter to isolate and highlight a specific frequency band in price data, helping traders focus on price movements within a targeted frequency range.
The Length parameter determines the center frequency of the filter, affecting which frequency band is isolated. Adjusting this parameter allows you to focus on different parts of the price movement spectrum.
The Bandwidth (BW) controls the width of the frequency band in octaves. It represents the bandwidth between -3 dB frequencies for the band pass filter. A narrower bandwidth results in a more focused filtering effect, isolating a tighter range of frequencies.
Key Features of Biquad Filters
Biquad filters are a type of digital filter that provides a combination of low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filtering capabilities. In this implementation, the biquad filter is configured as a band pass filter, which allows frequencies within a specified band to pass while attenuating frequencies outside this band. This is particularly useful in trading to isolate specific price movements, making it easier to detect patterns and trends within a targeted frequency range.
Biquad filters are known for their smooth response and minimal phase distortion, making them ideal for technical analysis. The customizable length and bandwidth allow for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and market conditions. Designed for real-time charting, the biquad filter operates efficiently without significant lag, ensuring timely analysis.
By incorporating this biquad band pass filter into your trading toolkit, you can enhance your chart analysis with clearer insights into specific frequency bands of price movements, leading to more informed trading decisions.
Volume Weighted Average Price Ratio (log) [ilyaQwerty]The VWAP Ratio indicator is a valuable tool for traders aiming to assess market trends and price movements in relation to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Volume Weighted Average Price Ratio represents the ratio of the price of the asset compared to total traded volume in US Dollars. In a context of Bitcoin, VWAP ratio helps traders assess the market state, if it is overvalued or undervalued. High values of the indicator can suggest that the market is highly overvalued and low values can indicate a great buying opportunity.
Ratio Calculation: The VWAP Ratio is computed by dividing the current price by the VWAP (Price / VWAP). VWAP represents a ratio between a cumulative sum of a traded value (price multiplied by the volume) and a cumulative traded volume.
BTC-Specific Optimization: Although the indicator can be applied to various assets, the VWAP Ratio indicator is particularly useful for Bitcoin (BTC) due to its significant trading volume and unique market behaviour.
60-Day Cycle Long-Only IndicatorThe following indicator generates ‘Buy’ signals based on rotating 60-day cycles. The general theory is that when buying strong, growth-oriented assets, 60-day micro-cycles culminate into larger macro-cycles.
Summary:
Explaining the Upper and Lower Bounds in the 60-Day Cycle Strategy:
1. Cycle High (Upper Bound):
The cycle high is the highest closing price of the asset over the past 60 days. This value acts as the upper boundary of the 60-day cycle, indicating the peak price level during this period. When the current closing price is above this boundary, it suggests a potential distribution phase, where the asset might be overbought, and larger players may be selling off their positions. In the strategy, the cycle high is plotted as a red line on the chart, helping traders visually identify the upper limit of the 60-day trading range.
2. Cycle Low (Lower Bound):
The cycle low is the lowest closing price of the asset over the past 60 days. This value acts as the lower boundary of the 60-day cycle, indicating the trough price level during this period. When the current closing price is below this boundary, it suggests a potential accumulation phase, where the asset might be oversold, and larger players may be accumulating positions at lower prices. In the strategy, the cycle low is plotted as an orange line on the chart, helping traders visually identify the lower limit of the 60-day trading range.
How These Bounds Are Calculated:
• Cycle High: Calculated using the highest closing price over the last 60 trading days. In Pine Script, this is achieved with the function ta.highest(close, cycle_length), where cycle_length is set to 60 days.
• Cycle Low: Calculated using the lowest closing price over the last 60 trading days. In Pine Script, this is achieved with the function ta.lowest(close, cycle_length), where cycle_length is set to 60 days.
Interpretation and Application:
• Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the closing price crosses above the cycle low. This indicates a potential end to the bearish phase and the start of a bullish trend.
• Distribution Phase: When the closing price crosses above the cycle high, it suggests the market is in a distribution phase, potentially signaling a bearish trend or a sell-off period.
Example:
On a trading chart, the cycle high and cycle low are plotted as horizontal lines, with their colors distinguishing them (red for cycle high and orange for cycle low). These lines create a visual range within which the asset's price has moved over the last 60 days, helping traders quickly assess whether the current price is near the upper or lower bound.
By identifying and plotting these upper and lower bounds, traders can better understand the current market phase and make more informed trading decisions based on the 60-day cycle strategy. This indicator can be used across various assets.

ICT Sessions and Kill Zones
What They Are:
ICT Sessions: These are specific times during the trading day when market activity is expected to be higher, such as the London Open, New York Open, and the Asian session.
Kill Zones: These are specific time windows within these sessions where the probability of significant price movements is higher. For example, the New York AM Kill Zone is typically from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM EST.
How to Use Them:
Identify the Session: Determine which trading session you are in (London, New York, or Asian).
Focus on Kill Zones: Within that session, focus on the kill zones for potential trade setups. For instance, during the New York session, look for setups between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM EST.
Silver Bullets
What They Are:
Silver Bullets: These are specific, high-probability trade setups that occur within the kill zones. They are designed to be "one shot, one kill" trades, meaning they aim for precise and effective entries and exits.
How to Use Them:
Time-Based Setup: Look for these setups within the designated kill zones. For example, between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the New York AM session .
Chart Analysis: Start with higher time frames like the 15-minute chart and then refine down to 5-minute and 1-minute charts to identify imbalances or specific patterns .
Macros
What They Are:
Macros: These are broader market conditions and trends that influence your trading decisions. They include understanding the overall market direction, seasonal tendencies, and the Commitment of Traders (COT) reports.
How to Use Them:
Understand Market Conditions: Be aware of the macroeconomic factors and market conditions that could affect price movements.
Seasonal Tendencies: Know the seasonal patterns that might influence the market direction.
COT Reports: Use the Commitment of Traders reports to understand the positioning of large traders and commercial hedgers .
Putting It All Together

Prometheus OscillatorThis oscillator is a tool meant to determine an up or down trend using a measure of volatility and what skews the market has.
Calculation
The first thing to do is normalize the price to have a 0 handle and be a decimal. The reason to do this is to get the 0 line for every asset.
After the source value has been normalized calculate standard deviation and skew.
Standard Deviation
To calculate standard deviation Prometheus uses Pinescript's built-in function.
standard_dev = ta.stdev(src, len, true)
Standard deviation is a decent and quick estimation of historical volatility over a period of time specified by the user.
Skew
Skew is calculated as follows:
mean = ta.sma(src, len)
m3 = math.sum(math.pow(src - mean, 3), len) / len
m2 = math.pow(math.sum(math.pow(src - mean, 2), len) / len, 1.5)
skew = m3 / m2
Skew is a value used to determine how far on one side of a distribution a value is. When the market is aggressively moving higher the skew will be a bigger positive number. When it is moving lower, a negative number. When the values are small, still either positive or negative, is when the market is moving calmly in either direction.
Adding these two values together provides us with our oscillator.
Trade Examples
A simple way to use this tool is to use 0-line crosses as bullish or bearish alerts
Step 1: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Step 2: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The Price moves down.
Step 3: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price chops then the price proceeds to move up.
0 line crosses can work but may not always be reliable.
Step 1: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Step 2: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The Price bounces as the downtrend is signaled, but then continues to sell off.
Step 3: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price chops at the high and then reverses.
Step 4: Cross below 0 line, short alert. proceeds to move down.
Step 5: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Not every alert will be perfect, we encourage traders to use tools as well as their own discretion.
Previous highs and lows may be a good tell if the alert will be true.
Step 1: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Step 2: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The Price bounces as the downtrend is signaled, false alert.
Step 3: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price chops at the high and then moves up.
Step 4: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The price chops a lot with a false break to the upside, the oscillator itself does not move fast or high which could have been a sign it was false.
Step 5: Step 3's downtrend continues.
Step 6: Cross above the 0 line. A new up trend emerges.
The indicator has more than one use. Detecting false moves in a greater trend is advantageous to not get faked out.
Step 1: Price moves up, however, the oscillator does not break 0, and the trend remains bearish before a true break of 0 line and moves up.
Step 2: While the oscillator is below the 0 line the price moves up. The oscillator does not change its sign and the downtrend continues until a true break of 0 line and moves up.
Inputs:
Len: Lookback length for how many bars back to go to calculate the oscillator.
No indicator is 100% accurate, use them along with your own discretion.
Bitcoin Production CostFirst inspired by the amazing @capriole_charles, I decided to create my own version of calculating the Bitcoin production cost and to share it with you guys.
One of the main difference is the electricity cost calculation. I used a country-specific input system that calculates the weighted electricity cost leveraged by the distribution of the Bitcoin network hashrate. I like the fact that it requires little updating although it is less realistic for past calculations (further in the past production costs seems too low).
How to use:
- Add the indicator to your chart.
- Adjust the inputs if needed. Update the percentage of Bitcoin network Hashrate or electricity Cost per countries. Update the mining hardware stats to the most recent hardware. For example I used a Bitcoin Miner S21 Pro stats.
- Check the multiple variables in the data window.
- Turn on/off the halving event in the style tab
Bitcoin Logarithmic Regression
This indicator displays logarithmic regression channels for Bitcoin. A logarithmic regression is a function that increases or decreases rapidly at first, but then steadily slows as time moves. The original version of this indicator/model was created as an open source script by a user called Owain but is not available on TradingView anymore. So I decided to update the code to the latest version of pinescript and fine tune some of the parameters.
How to read and use the logarithmic regression:
There are 3 different regression lines or channels visible:
Green Channel: These lines represent different levels of support derived from the logarithmic regression model.
Purpose: The green channel is used to identify potential support levels where the price might find a bottom or bounce back upwards.
Interpretation:
If the price is approaching or touching the lower green lines, it might indicate a buying opportunity or an area where the price is considered undervalued.
------------------------------------------------
Red Channel: These lines represent different levels of resistance derived from the logarithmic regression model.
Purpose: The red channel is used to identify potential resistance levels where the price might encounter selling pressure or face difficulty moving higher.
Interpretation:
If the price is approaching or touching the upper red lines, it might indicate a selling opportunity or an area where the price is considered overvalued.
-------------------------------------------------
Purple Line This line represents to so-called "fair price" of Bitcoin according to the regression model.
Purpose: The purple line can be used to identify if the current price of Bitcoin is under- or overvalued.
Interpretation: A simple interpretation here would be that over time the price will have the tendency to always return to its "fair price", so starting to DCA more when price is under the line and less when it is over the line could be a suitable investment strategy.
----------------------------------------------------
Practical Application:
You can use this regression channel to build your own, long term, trading strategies. Notice how Bitcoin seems to always act in kind of the same 4 year cycle:
- Price likes to trade around the purple line at the time of the halvings
- After the halvings we see an extended sideways range for up to 300 days
- After the sideways range Bitcoin goes into a bull market frenzy (the area between the green and red channel)
- The price tops out at the upper red channel and then enters a prolonged bear market.
Buying around the purple line or lower line of the green channel and selling once the price reaches the red channel can be a suitable and very profitable strategy.

Risk Radar ProThe "Risk Radar Pro" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to help investors and traders assess the risk and performance of their investments over a specified period. This presentation will explain each component of the indicator, how to interpret the results, and the advantages compared to traditional metrics.
The "Risk Radar Pro" indicator includes several key metrics:
● Beta
● Maximum Drawdown
● Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
● Annualized Volatility
● Dynamic Sharpe Ratio
● Dynamic Sortino Ratio
Each of these metrics is dynamically calculated using data from the entire selected period, providing a more adaptive and accurate measure of performance and risk.
1. Start Date
● Description: The date from which the calculations begin.
● Interpretation: This allows the user to set a specific period for analysis, ensuring that all metrics reflect the performance from this point onward.
2. Beta
● Description: Beta measures the volatility or systematic risk of the instrument relative to a reference index (e.g., SPY).
● Interpretation: A beta of 1 indicates that the instrument moves with the market. A beta greater than 1 indicates more volatility than the market, while a beta less than 1 indicates less volatility.
● Advantages: Unlike classic beta, which typically uses fixed historical intervals, this dynamic beta adjusts to market changes over the entire selected period, providing a more responsive measure.
3. Maximum Drawdown
● Description: The maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough before a new peak is achieved.
● Interpretation: This shows the largest single drop in value during the specified period. It is a critical measure of downside risk.
● Advantages: By tracking the maximum drawdown dynamically, the indicator can provide timely alerts when significant losses occur, allowing for better risk management.
4. Annualized Performance
● Description: The mean annual growth rate of the investment over the specified period.
● Interpretation: The Annualized Performance represents the smoothed annual rate at which the investment would have grown if it had grown at a steady rate.
● Advantages: This dynamic calculation reflects the actual long-term growth trend of the investment rather than relying on a fixed time frame.
5. Annualized Volatility
● Description: Measures the degree of variation in the instrument's returns over time, expressed as a percentage.
● Interpretation: Higher volatility indicates greater risk, as the investment's returns fluctuate more.
● Advantages: Annualized volatility calculated over the entire selected period provides a more accurate measure of risk, as it includes all market conditions encountered during that time.
6. Dynamic Sharpe Ratio
● Description: Measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment relative to its volatility.
● Choice of Risk-Free Rate Ticker: Users can select a ticker symbol to represent the risk-free rate in Sharpe ratio calculations. The default option is US03M, representing the 3-month US Treasury bill.
● Interpretation: A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted returns. This ratio accounts for the risk-free rate to provide a comparison with risk-free investments.
