Market Regime Detection – Breakout/down w/ ADX & EMA Filter Market Regime Detection – Breakout/down w/ ADX & EMA Filter
By: alphainvestor123
This indicator helps you visually detect whether the market is in a trending or mean-reverting regime by combining:
Core Logic:
Breakouts: Price exceeds recent highs (or lows), suggesting trending behavior.
EMA Filter: Confirms bullish or bearish bias based on price vs. EMA.
VHF (Vertical Horizontal Filter): Measures the trend strength.
VHF value is multiplied by 1000 in the event you wish to display it onto your
BTC
or Crypto chart, it will be visible on your chart, no need to scroll down to see.
VHF ≥ 3333 = Trending Regime
VHF ≤ 3333 = Mean-Reverting / Rangebound
Key Features:
- Plot of recent high/low breakout levels.
- Background highlights breakout signals (trending market).
- Optional background for breakdown signals (non-trending market).
- Optional VHF and EMA plots for further confirmation.
- Adjustable inputs to control signal sensitivity and chart visuals.
Inputs:
Lookback Periods for breakout/breakdown
EMA Length and Line Thickness
Toggle VHF/EMA/Signal Display
Custom Colors for bullish/bearish trends
Ideal Use Cases:
Determining market regime
Filtering for momentum/trend continuation setups
Avoiding false signals in mean-reverting market conditions
*Best used on 1D chart as seen on the sample display, I find this most useful for detecting long term trend breakouts/breakdowns and mean reverting regimes.
*to clarify:
breakouts/trend regimes can only be marked if:
1. Candle has the highest high out of the last 40 bars (default indicator setting, can be customized by user)
2. EMA on the desired asset is bullish
3. ADX is >= a value of 3,333
Visa versa logic for breakdowns/mean reverting regime detection.

3 EMA Trend Detector with Selectable EMAs & Slope Filter📈 3 EMA Trend Detector with Selectable Slope Filters
Overview:
This indicator highlights strong trend conditions using a customizable combination of three exponential moving averages (EMAs). It shades the background green during confirmed uptrends and red during downtrends, providing a clear "go / stop" visual signal on your chart.
The indicator is built for traders who want precision control over which EMAs are used in their trend logic and how strong the trend must be (based on EMA slope). It can be used as a trend confirmation tool, entry filter, or visual market bias gauge.
🧠 How It Works:
Uses three EMAs: default lengths are 12, 48, and 200.
A strong uptrend is confirmed when:
The selected EMAs are aligned (e.g., EMA 12 > EMA 48 > EMA 200)
Each EMA is rising by more than a threshold, defined as a percentage of price
A strong downtrend is confirmed when:
The EMAs are aligned in reverse (e.g., EMA 12 < EMA 48 < EMA 200)
Each EMA is falling by more than the threshold
You can customize the threshold (%) for each EMA to control sensitivity.
⚙️ Features & Customization:
✅ Enable/disable each EMA individually via checkboxes
✅ Custom slope sensitivity per EMA (e.g., EMA 12 reacts faster than EMA 200)
✅ Background shading turns green for uptrend, red for downtrend
✅ Color customization for up/down trends
✅ Hidden trendSignal output (1 = uptrend, -1 = downtrend) for use in alerts
📌 How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Use the settings to:
Select which EMAs are included in trend detection
Set slope sensitivity for each EMA (as % of price)
Watch the background for:
🟩 Green = strong uptrend (aligned and sloping up)
🟥 Red = strong downtrend (aligned and sloping down)
Optional: use the hidden trendSignal (value of 1 or -1) to set alerts.
🔔 Example Alert Condition:
To alert when a strong uptrend begins:
trendSignal crosses 1
Or when a strong downtrend begins:
trendSignal crosses -1

Express Generator StrategyExpress Generator Strategy
Pine Script™ v6
The Express Generator Strategy is an algorithmic trading system that harnesses confluence from multiple technical indicators to optimize trade entries and dynamic risk management. Developed in Pine Script v6, it is designed to operate within a user-defined backtesting period—ensuring that trades are executed only during chosen historical windows for targeted analysis.
How It Works:
- Entry Conditions:
The strategy relies on a dual confirmation approach:- A moving average crossover system where a fast (default 9-period SMA) crossing above or below a slower (default 21-period SMA) average signals a potential trend reversal.
- MACD confirmation; trades are only initiated when the MACD line crosses its signal line in the direction of the moving average signal.
- An RSI filter refines these signals by preventing entries when the market might be overextended—ensuring that long entries only occur when the RSI is below an overbought level (default 70) and short entries when above an oversold level (default 30).
- Risk Management & Dynamic Position Sizing:
The strategy takes a calculated approach to risk by enabling the adjustment of position sizes using:- A pre-defined percentage of equity risk per trade (default 1%, adjustable between 0.5% to 3%).
- A stop-loss set in pips (default 100 pips, with customizable ranges), which is then adjusted by market volatility measured through the ATR.
- Trailing stops (default 50 pips) to help protect profits as the market moves favorably.
This combination of volatility-adjusted risk and equity-based position sizing aims to harmonize trade exposure with prevailing market conditions.
- Backtest Period Flexibility:
Users can define the start and end dates for backtesting (e.g., January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2025). This ensures that the strategy only opens trades within the intended analysis window. Moreover, if the strategy is still holding a position outside this period, it automatically closes all trades to prevent unwanted exposure.
- Visual Insights:
For clarity, the strategy plots the fast (blue) and slow (red) moving averages directly on the chart, allowing for visual confirmation of crossovers and trend shifts.
By integrating multiple technical indicators with robust risk management and adaptable position sizing, the Express Generator Strategy provides a comprehensive framework for capturing trending moves while prudently managing downside risk. It’s ideally suited for traders looking to combine systematic entries with a disciplined and dynamic risk approach.
Amihud Liquidity RatioCalculates liquidity as a sort of moving average over time
The Amihud Illiquidity Ratio (ILLIQ) measures the price impact of trading volume. It's calculated as the absolute daily return divided by the daily dollar volume:
𝐼𝐿𝐿𝐼𝑄ₜ = |𝑅ₜ| / 𝑉𝑂𝐿𝐷ₜ
Where:
|𝑅ₜ| is the absolute value on return day t
𝑉𝑂𝐿𝐷ₜ is the dollar trading volume on day t
Here's how you can incorporate this indicator into your analysis:
1. Identifying Liquidity Regimes:
High Liquidity (Low Indicator Values): When the indicator is consistently low, it suggests a market or asset where it's generally easier to enter and exit positions without significant slippage. This might be a more favorable environment for strategies that rely on tight spreads and efficient order execution.
Low Liquidity (High Indicator Values): When the indicator is consistently high or spiking, it signals periods of lower liquidity. This can lead to:
Increased Volatility: Fewer participants and larger bid-ask spreads can amplify price movements.
Higher Slippage: Executing large orders might result in getting a worse price than expected.
Gap Risk: Significant price gaps can occur between trading sessions due to a lack of continuous trading interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Confirming Trends and Breakouts:
Trend Confirmation:
Uptrend with Increasing Liquidity (Falling Amihud): A healthy uptrend often sees increasing participation and ease of trading. A falling Amihud during an uptrend can provide confidence in the trend's sustainability.
Uptrend with Decreasing Liquidity (Rising Amihud): An uptrend accompanied by rising Amihud might be less stable. It could suggest that the price increase is driven by fewer participants and might be more prone to reversals.
The same logic applies to downtrends, but in reverse.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Breakout Confirmation:
Breakout with Increasing Liquidity (Falling Amihud): A breakout accompanied by increasing liquidity (falling Amihud) can suggest strong conviction and a higher probability of the breakout being sustained.
Breakout with Decreasing Liquidity (Rising Amihud): A breakout on low liquidity might be more suspect and could be a "fakeout" if there isn't enough sustained buying or selling pressure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Identifying Potential Reversal Points:
Liquidity Exhaustion: Sometimes, a prolonged period of low liquidity (high Amihud) might precede a reversal. The lack of active trading interest at those levels could make the price more susceptible to a shift in sentiment.
Liquidity Surges: A sudden spike in liquidity (a sharp drop in Amihud) after a period of low liquidity could indicate renewed interest and potentially the start of a new trend or a reversal of the previous one.

TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge is a trend-following indicator that combines Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS), to generate precise buy and sell signals. This unique mashup leverages the strengths of trend confirmation through SMAs and market structure analysis via ICT to help traders identify high-probability trend entries. The indicator is designed to be intuitive, customizable, and suitable for traders of all levels seeking to align with market trends on various timeframes.
//
// ### What It Does
// The indicator plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of candles to define the trend direction. It colors the SMAs and fills the area between them to visually indicate whether the price is in a bullish (above both SMAs), bearish (below both SMAs), or neutral (between SMAs) state. Simultaneously, it identifies BOS and MSS levels on a user-defined higher timeframe to confirm trend continuation or reversal points. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price closes above/below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on user preference) while also being correctly positioned relative to the SMAs, ensuring alignment with the trend.
//
// ### Why Combine SMAs and ICT?
// SMAs provide a reliable way to gauge trend direction by smoothing price data, but they can lag or generate false signals in choppy markets. ICT's BOS and MSS concepts address this by focusing on key market structure breaks, offering context for significant price movements. By requiring price to close beyond a BOS or MSS level and align with the SMA-defined trend, the TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge filters out noise and enhances signal reliability. This combination creates a robust system that balances trend-following simplicity with structural market insights, making it ideal for trend traders.
//
// ### How to Use
// 1. **SMA Length**: Adjust the `SMA Length` (default: 20) to control the sensitivity of the SMAs. Shorter lengths react faster to price changes, while longer lengths provide smoother trends.
// 2. **Structure Timeframe**: Set the `Structure Timeframe` to a higher timeframe (e.g., "1H" on a 15M chart) to calculate BOS and MSS levels. This ensures structural signals are based on significant market moves.
// 3. **Chart Timeframe**: Select the `Chart Timeframe` to optimize pivot point calculations for your current chart (e.g., "30M" for a 30-minute chart).
// 4. **Signal Type**: Choose between "BOS" (default) for signals based on trend continuation breaks or "MSS" for signals based on potential reversal points (breakers).
// 5. **Display Options**: Enable/disable `Show Continuation (BOS)` and `Show Breaker (MSS)` to toggle the visibility of BOS and MSS lines. Customize their colors for better chart clarity.
//
// ### Signals
// - **Buy Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses above the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is above both SMAs, indicating a bullish trend entry. Marked with a green "Buy" label.
// - **Sell Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is below both SMAs, indicating a bearish trend entry. Marked with a red "Sell" label.
//
// ### Originality
// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge stands out by integrating the trend-following reliability of SMAs with the structural precision of ICT's BOS and MSS. Unlike standalone SMA or ICT indicators, this script requires both trend alignment and structural confirmation, reducing false signals. The user-selectable Signal Type (BOS or MSS) adds versatility, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to trend-following or counter-trend strategies. Its dynamic timeframe adjustments and visual clarity make it a unique tool for traders seeking to capture trend entries with confidence.
//
// ### Notes
// - Ensure the `Structure Timeframe` is higher than your chart timeframe to avoid calculation issues.
// - Signals are generated only when the trend state changes to avoid redundant signals in the same trend direction.
// - Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always combine this indicator with other analysis and risk management techniques.
EMA Pullback & Trend Indicator MyraxesEMA Pullback & Trend Indicator by Max Retri
Plots five EMAs—9, 15, 30, 65 and 200—and draws clean, easy-to-interpret signals when the fast EMAs cross in the direction of the longer-term trend. No other indicators or overlays are required; simply add it to your chart and watch for the arrows and crosses.
⸻
What It Does & How It Works
1. EMAs & Colors
• Red (EMA 9) – Fast signal line
• Blue (EMA 15) – Confirmation line
• Orange (EMA 30) – Pullback zone 1
• Purple (EMA 65) – Pullback zone 2 & mid-term trend
• White (EMA 200) – Long-term trend
2. Trend Filter
• Bullish regime when price is above both EMA 65 and EMA 200.
• Bearish regime when price is below both EMA 65 and EMA 200.
3. Pullback Requirement
• Only consider a signal if price has retraced into the EMA 30 or EMA 65 zone.
4. Signal Logic
Long Entry ▲: EMA 9 (red) crosses above EMA 15 (blue) while in a bullish regime and after a pullback into EMA 30/65.
Short Entry ▼: EMA 9 crosses below EMA 15 while in a bearish regime and after a retracement up to EMA 30/65.
Exit ✖: Opposite EMA 9/15 crossover marks the close of the position.
⸻
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to any chart/timeframe.
2. Identify trend: make sure price is aligned above or below the 65 and 200 EMAs.
3. Watch for pullbacks into the orange or purple EMAs.
4. Enter on the black ▲ or ▼ arrow.
5. Exit when you see the gray ✖ cross.
Because it’s a pure‐EMA indicator (no heavy calculations), it runs quickly even on lower-end machines.

Reason: MA crossovers and custom price alerts can generate false signals in choppy, range-bound markets, leading to whipsaws.
Alternative: Use oscillators like RSI or Bollinger Bands to trade within ranges.
This indicator is tailored more towards less experienced traders. And as always, paper trade until you are comfortable with how this works if you're unfamiliar with trading! We hope you enjoy this and have great success. Thanks for your interested in Easy MA Signals!
Polygot Moving AveragesDescription
This is essentially a source merger of Bollinger Bands by Trading View and Simple Moving Averages by stoxxinbox. My additions and subtractions are minimal. There is the BB MA, which I default at 5d, and the other 4 averages are the standard 21, 50, 100, 200, day moving averages. I default the averaging method to WMA (Weighted Moving Average). The method of averaging can be changed as also can the lengths of the inputs to match user preferences. This is what I wanted for an indicator and didn't find.
Usage
The same as you would use any other BB or MA indicator. The benefit of this one is that it has 4 MAs, one MA with the Bollinger Bands attached, and the colours adjusted to be easy on the eyes when using high contrast themes, to be discernible yet sit quietly in the background with lines and candle sticks everywhere shouting for attention. I use it as a base first indicator which I can hide easily (imagine hiding five MA indicators individually constantly) when the more serious indicators come into play.
Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DeviationOverview
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation is a trading indicator built in Pine Script that combines statistical filters and adaptive smoothing to highlight potential reversal points in price action. It combines a hybrid moving average, dual Z‑Score analysis on both price and RSI, and visual enhancements like slope‑based coloring, ATR‑based shadow bands, and dynamically scaled reversal signals.
Introduction
Statistical indicators like Z‑Scores measure how far a value deviates from its average relative to the typical variation (standard deviation). Standard deviation quantifies how dispersed a set of values is around its mean. A Z‑Score of +2 indicates a value two standard deviations above the mean, while -2 is two below. Traders use Z‑Scores to spot unusually high or low readings that may signal overbought or oversold conditions.
Moving averages smooth out price data to reveal trends. The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) reduces lag and noise through weighted averaging. A Zero‑Lag EMA (approximated here using a time‑shifted EMA) seeks to further minimize delay in following price. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator that measures recent gains against losses over a set period.
ATR (Average True Range) gauges market volatility by averaging the range between high and low over a lookback period. Shadow bands built using ATR give a visual mood of volatility around a central trend line. Together, these tools inform a dynamic but statistically grounded view of market extremes.
Purpose
The main goal of this indicator is to help traders spot short‑term reversal opportunities on lower timeframes. By requiring both price and momentum (RSI) to exhibit statistically significant deviations from their norms, it filters out weak setups and focuses on higher‑probability mean‑reversion zones. Reversal signals appear when price deviates far enough from its hybrid moving average and RSI deviates similarly in the same direction. This makes it suitable for discretionary traders seeking clean entry cues in volatile environments.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation distinguishes itself from standard reversal or mean‑reversion tools by combining several elements into a single framework:
A composite moving average (ALMA + Zero‑Lag EMA) for a smooth yet responsive baseline
Dual Z‑Score filters on price and RSI rather than relying on a single measure
Adaptive visual elements, including slope‑aware coloring, multi‑layer ATR shadows, and signal sizing based on combined Z‑Score magnitude
Most indicators focus on one aspect—price envelopes or RSI thresholds—whereas Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation requires both layers to align before signaling. Its visual design aids quick interpretation without overwhelming the chart.
Why these indicators were merged
Every component in Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation has a purpose:
• ALMA: provides a smooth moving average with reduced lag and fewer false crossovers than a simple SMA or EMA.
• Zero‑Lag EMA (ZLMA approximation): further reduces the delay relative to price by applying a time shift to EMA inputs. This keeps the composite MA closer to current price action.
• RSI and its EMA filter: RSI measures momentum. Applying an EMA filter on RSI smooths out false spikes and confirms genuine overbought or oversold momentum.
• Dual Z‑Scores: computing Z‑Scores on both the distance between price and the composite MA, and on smoothed RSI, ensures that signals only fire when both price and momentum are unusually stretched.
• ATR bands: using ATR‑based shadow layers visualizes volatility around the MA, guiding traders on potential support and resistance zones.
At the end, these pieces merge into a single indicator that detects statistically significant mean reversions while staying adaptive to real‑time volatility and momentum.
Calculations
1. Compute ALMA over the chosen MA length, offset, and sigma.
2. Approximate ZLMA by applying EMA to twice the price minus the price shifted by the MA length.
3. Calculate the composite moving average as the average of ALMA and ZLMA.
4. Compute raw RSI and smooth it with ALMA. Apply an EMA filter to raw RSI to reduce noise.
5. For both price and smoothed RSI, calculate the mean and standard deviation over the Z‑Score lookback period.
6. Compute Z‑Scores:
• z_price = (current price − composite MA mean) / standard deviation of price deviations
• z_rsi = (smoothed RSI − mean RSI) / standard deviation of RSI
7. Determine reversal conditions: both Z‑Scores exceed their thresholds in the same direction, RSI EMA is in oversold/overbought zones (below 40 or above 60), and price movement confirms directionality.
8. Compute signal strength as the sum of the absolute Z‑Scores, then classify into weak, medium, or strong.
9. Calculate ATR over the chosen period and multiply by layer multipliers to form shadow widths.
10.Derive slope over the chosen slope length and color the MA line and bars based on direction, optionally smoothing color transitions via EMA on RGB channels.
How this indicator actually works
1. The script begins by smoothing price data with ALMA and approximating a zero‑lag EMA, then averaging them for the main MA.
2. RSI is calculated, then smoothed and filtered.
3. Using a rolling window, the script computes statistical measures for both price deviations and RSI.
4. Z‑Scores tell how far current values lie from their recent norms.
5. When both Z‑Scores cross configured thresholds and momentum conditions align, reversal signals are flagged.
6. Signals are drawn with size and color reflecting strength.
7. The MA is plotted with dynamic coloring; ATR shadows are layered beneath to show volatility envelopes.
8. Bars can be colored to match MA slope, reinforcing trend context.
9. Alert conditions allow automated notifications when signals occur.

ONE RING 8 MA Bands with RaysCycle analysis tool ...
MAs: Eight moving averages (MA1–MA8) with customizable lengths, types (RMA, WMA, EMA, SMA), and offsets
Bands: Upper/lower bands for each MA, calculated based on final_pctX (Percentage mode) or final_ptsX (Points mode), scaled by multiplier
Rays: Forward-projected lines for bands, with customizable start points, styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and lengths (up to 500 bars)
Band Choices
Manual: Uses individual inputs for band offsets
Uniform: Sets all offsets to base_pct (e.g., 0.1%) or base_pts (e.g., 0.1 points)
Linear: Scales linearly (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 2, base_pct * 3 ..., base_pct * 8)
Exponential: Scales exponentially (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 2, base_pct * 4, base_pct * 8 ..., base_pct * 128)
ATR-Based: Offsets are derived from the Average True Range (ATR), scaled by a linear factor. Dynamic bands that adapt to market conditions, useful for breakout or mean-reversion strategies. (final_pct1 = base_pct * atr, final_pct2 = base_pct * atr * 2, ..., final_pct8 = base_pct * atr * 8)
Geometric: Offsets follow a geometric progression (e.g., base_pct * r^0, base_pct * r^1, base_pct * r^2, ..., where r is a ratio like 1.5) This is less aggressive than Exponential (which uses powers of 2) and provides a smoother progression.
Example: If base_pct = 0.1, r = 1.5, then final_pct1 = 0.1%, final_pct2 = 0.15%, final_pct3 = 0.225%, ..., final_pct8 ≈ 1.71%
Harmonic: Offsets are based on harmonic flavored ratios. final_pctX = base_pct * X / (9 - X), final_ptsX = base_pts * X / (9 - X) for X = 1 to 8 This creates a harmonic-like progression where offsets increase non-linearly, ensuring MA8 bands are wider than MA1 bands, and avoids duplicating the Linear choice above.
Ex. offsets for base_pct = 0.1: MA1: ±0.0125% (0.1 * 1/8), MA2: ±0.0286% (0.1 * 2/7), MA3: ±0.05% (0.1 * 3/6), MA4: ±0.08% (0.1 * 4/5), MA5: ±0.125% (0.1 * 5/4), MA6: ±0.2% (0.1 * 6/3), MA7: ±0.35% (0.1 * 7/2), MA8: ±0.8% (0.1 * 8/1)
Square Root: Offsets grow with the square root of the band index (e.g., base_pct * sqrt(1), base_pct * sqrt(2), ..., base_pct * sqrt(8)). This creates a gradual widening, less aggressive than Linear or Exponential. Set final_pct1 = base_pct * sqrt(1), final_pct2 = base_pct * sqrt(2), ..., final_pct8 = base_pct * sqrt(8).
Example: If base_pct = 0.1, then final_pct1 = 0.1%, final_pct2 ≈ 0.141%, final_pct3 ≈ 0.173%, ..., final_pct8 ≈ 0.283%.
Fibonacci: Uses Fibonacci ratios (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 1.618, base_pct * 2.618
Percentage vs. Points Toggle:
In Percentage mode, bands are calculated as ma * (1 ± (final_pct / 100) * multiplier)
In Points mode, bands are calculated as ma ± final_pts * multiplier, where final_pts is in price units.
Threshold Setting for Slope:
Threshold setting for determining when the slope would be significant enough to call it a change in direction. Can check efficiency by setting MA1 to color on slope temporarily
Arrow table: Shows slope direction of 8 MAs using an Up or Down triangle, or shows Flat condition if no triangle.
Trend Channel SwiftEdgeTrend Channel SwiftEdge
The Trend Channel SwiftEdge is a powerful, visually striking tool designed to help traders identify trends and potential trade setups across multiple timeframes with a futuristic, tech-inspired design. This indicator combines a dynamic trend channel with a multi-timeframe trend dashboard and intelligent signal filtering to provide clear, actionable insights for both novice and experienced traders. Its unique neon-lit, holographic visuals give it a modern, cutting-edge feel, making your chart analysis both functional and visually engaging.
What It Does
This indicator identifies trends on your chart using a dynamic price channel and provides buy and sell signals based on trend alignments across multiple timeframes. It also features a dashboard that displays the trend direction (Up, Down, or Neutral) for six timeframes: 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day. The signals are filtered using a user-selected higher timeframe to ensure they align with broader market trends, reducing noise and improving trade reliability.
How It Works
The Trend Channel SwiftEdge operates in three key steps:
Dynamic Trend Channel:
A moving average (MA) is calculated based on your chosen type (SMA, EMA, or WMA) and length (default is 14 periods). This MA forms the backbone of the trend channel.
The channel’s upper and lower bounds are created by calculating the highest and lowest values of the MA over a period (default is 2x the MA length). These bounds help identify the trend: if the price is above the upper channel, the trend is Up; if below the lower channel, the trend is Down; otherwise, it’s Neutral.
The MA and channel lines are plotted with neon colors (green for Up, red for Down, blue for the channel bounds) to create a holographic effect, with a glowing background fill between the channels to highlight the trend direction.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard:
The indicator analyzes trends across six timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D1) using the same trend channel logic.
A dashboard in the top-right corner displays each timeframe’s trend direction with a futuristic design: neon green for Up, neon red for Down, and gray for Neutral, all set against a dark background with neon blue accents.
Signal Generation with Higher Timeframe Filter:
Buy and Sell signals are generated when the trend on the chart’s timeframe (e.g., 1M) aligns with a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 15M).
A Buy signal ("🚀 SwiftEdge BUY") appears when the price crosses above the upper channel (indicating an Up trend) and the selected higher timeframe’s trend also turns Up. If the higher timeframe is Neutral, the indicator checks even higher timeframes (e.g., 1H and 4H for a 15M filter) to confirm the trend direction.
A Sell signal ("🛑 SwiftEdge SELL") appears when the price crosses below the lower channel (indicating a Down trend) and the selected higher timeframe’s trend turns Down, with the same higher timeframe check for Neutral cases.
Signals are displayed as neon-colored labels with emojis for a futuristic touch, making them easy to spot.
Why This Combination?
The combination of a dynamic trend channel, multi-timeframe analysis, and signal filtering in Trend Channel SwiftEdge is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market trends while reducing false signals. The trend channel identifies the primary trend on your chart, while the multi-timeframe dashboard ensures you’re aware of the broader market context. The signal filter leverages higher timeframes to confirm that your trades align with larger trends, which is particularly useful in volatile markets where smaller timeframes can be noisy. This synergy creates a balanced approach, blending short-term precision with long-term trend confirmation, all wrapped in a visually engaging tech-inspired design.
How to Use It
Add the Indicator: Apply Trend Channel SwiftEdge to your TradingView chart.
Customize Settings:
SwiftEdge Moving Average Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA (default is EMA) to adjust the trend channel’s sensitivity.
SwiftEdge MA Length: Set the period for the moving average (default is 14).
SwiftEdge Signal Filter Timeframe: Select a higher timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D1) to filter signals (default is 15M). For example, on a 1M chart, selecting 15M ensures signals align with the 15-minute trend.
Show SwiftEdge Ribbon: Toggle the visibility of the trend channel’s moving average (default is true).
Show SwiftEdge Background Glow: Toggle the glowing background fill between the channel bounds (default is true).
Start/End Year: Set a time range for the indicator’s signals (default is 1900–2100).
Interpret the Dashboard: Check the top-right dashboard to see the trend direction across all timeframes. Use this to understand the broader market context.
Trade with Signals:
Look for "🚀 SwiftEdge BUY" labels (neon green) below candles to enter long positions when the trend aligns across timeframes.
Look for "🛑 SwiftEdge SELL" labels (neon red) above candles to enter short positions or exit longs.
Ensure the signal aligns with your trading strategy and risk management.
What Makes It Original?
Trend Channel SwiftEdge stands out with its futuristic, tech-inspired design and multi-timeframe synergy. Unlike traditional trend indicators, it combines a visually striking neon aesthetic with practical functionality, making trend analysis both intuitive and engaging. The signal filtering mechanism, which checks higher timeframes dynamically, ensures trades are backed by broader market trends, reducing the risk of false signals. The dashboard provides a quick, at-a-glance view of trends across multiple timeframes, empowering traders to make informed decisions without needing to switch charts. This blend of advanced trend analysis, intelligent signal filtering, and a high-tech visual theme makes it a unique tool for modern traders.
Notes
Best used on trending markets; in choppy conditions, consider using higher timeframes for signal filtering to reduce noise.
Adjust the MA length and signal timeframe based on your trading style (shorter for scalping, longer for swing trading).

Volume Weighted Median Price (VWMP)The volume is indeed crucial for confirming price moves and understanding market conviction. While many traders are familiar with VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), this indicator introduces a lesser-known but powerful cousin: the Volume Weighted Median Price (VWMP).
What is VWMP?
Unlike VWAP, which calculates the average price weighted by volume over a period, VWMP identifies the median price level weighted by volume.
Think of it this way: If you line up all the trades within a specific lookback period, sorted by price, and then start accumulating the volume traded at each price level, the VWMP is the price level where 50% of the total volume occurred below it, and 50% occurred above it.
It essentially finds the "middle ground" of trading activity based on where the bulk of the volume actually traded, not just the average price.
Key Difference: VWMP vs. VWAP
VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price. Sensitive to outliers (single large trades at extreme prices can skew the average).
VWMP: Volume Weighted Median Price. More robust to outliers. It represents the price that splits the period's volume distribution in half.
Because it uses the median, VWMP can sometimes provide a more stable or representative level of the "typical" price where significant volume is changing hands, especially in volatile markets or when large, anomalous trades occur.
How to Interpret and Use VWMP in trading
The VWMP plots as a line on your chart, similar to a moving average or VWAP. Here are a few ways traders might use it:
Dynamic Support and Resistance:
Like VWAP, the VWMP line can act as a dynamic level of interest.
Watch how price interacts with the VWMP. Consistent acceptance above VWMP might suggest bullish control and potential support.
Consistent rejection or acceptance below VWMP might indicate bearish control and potential resistance.
Trend Filter / Confirmation:
Uptrend: Look for price consistently staying above the VWMP line. Pullbacks to the VWMP that hold could offer entry opportunities.
Downtrend: Look for price consistently staying below the VWMP line. Rallies to the VWMP that fail could present shorting opportunities.
Use it to filter trades: Only take long trades if price is above VWMP, and short trades if below.
Mean Reversion Potential (Use with Caution):
When price extends significantly far away from the VWMP, some traders might look for potential reversion back towards this volume-based median level.
Important: This should not be used in isolation. Always look for confirmation from other indicators (like RSI, Stochastics, or candlestick patterns) before trading counter-trend reversions.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
VWMP works best when combined with other analysis tools.
Look for confluence: Does the VWMP align with a key Fibonacci level, a standard moving average, or a prior support/resistance zone? This confluence strengthens the level's potential significance.
Considerations
Lookback Period: The length input is crucial. A shorter period makes VWMP more responsive to recent action; a longer period makes it smoother and reflects longer-term volume distribution. Experiment to find what suits your timeframe and trading style.
Lagging Nature: Like all indicators based on past data, VWMP is inherently lagging. It reflects past volume distribution, not the future.
Market Context: Its effectiveness can vary depending on the market conditions (trending vs. ranging) and the asset being traded.
HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.
Zen MIG Reversal V1**Zen MIG Reversal V1**
Zen MIG Reversal is a pattern-based indicator that highlights rare reversal setups.
It’s designed to support traders in visually identifying potential turning points, especially following strong momentum or gap-style moves.
**How it works:**

5ma + O’Neil & Minervini Buy ConditionIndicator Overview
5ma + O’Neil & Minervini Buy Condition is an original TradingView indicator that extends beyond a simple collection of standard moving averages by offering:
- Five Fully Independent Lines : Each of MA1–MA5 can be configured as SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA with its own period and data source. This level of customization unlocks unique combinations no existing script provides.
- Synergy of Multiple Timeframes : Default settings (10, 21, 50, 200, 325) reflect ultra‑short, short, medium, long, and volume‑weighted long‑term perspectives. The layered structure functions as a multi‑filter, sharpening entry signals and trend confirmation beyond any single MA.
- Integrated Buy Conditions : Built‑in O’Neil and Minervini buy filters use fixed SMA‑based rules (50 & 200 SMA rising within 15% of 52‑week high; 10 > 21 > 50 SMA rising within high/low thresholds), plus a combined condition highlighting when both methods align.
- Clean Visualization & Style Controls : Background coloring for each buy condition appears only in the Style tab under clearly named parameters (O’Neil Buy Condition, Minervini Buy Condition, Both Conditions). MA lines support transparent default colors and customizable line width for optimal readability without clutter.
Calculation & Logic
SMA: (P₁ + P₂ + … + Pₙ) ÷ N
EMA: α = 2 ÷ (N + 1)
EMA_today = (Price_today – EMA_yesterday) × α + EMA_yesterday
WMA: (P₁×N + P₂×(N–1) + … + Pₙ×1) ÷
VWMA: Σ(Pᵢ×Vᵢ) ÷ Σ(Vᵢ) for i = 1…N
```
Buy Condition Logic
- O’Neil: Price > 50 SMA & 200 SMA (both rising) **and** within 15% of the 52‑week high.
- Minervini : 10 SMA > 21 SMA > 50 SMA (both short‑term SMAs rising) **and** within 25% of the 52‑week high **and** at least 25% above the 52‑week low.
- Combined : Both O’Neil and Minervini conditions true.
Usage Examples
1. Short‑Mid Cross : Observe MA1/MA2 crossover while MA3/MA4 confirm trend strength.
2. Volume‑Weighted Long‑Term : Use VWMA as MA5 to filter institutional‑strength pullbacks.

EMA Oscillating Trend📈 EMA Oscillating Trend by AI-123
The EMA Oscillating Trend indicator is a dynamic trend visualizer that enhances traditional EMA behavior by offsetting the line based on trend direction, providing a more intuitive and visually distinct representation of market momentum.
🔍 Key Features:
🔵 Bullish Color Customization – Define your preferred color for bullish trends
🔴 Bearish Color Customization – Set a different tone for bearish phases
🪄 Adjustable Line Thickness – Tailor the EMA's appearance to your chart style
📐 Offset Multiplier Input – Automatically pushes the EMA above price in a downtrend and below price in an uptrend for enhanced clarity
⚙️ User-Friendly Inputs – No coding knowledge required; full customization in the settings panel
🧠 How It Works:
Calculates a primary EMA line (OV) and a sub-component to compare against (OV2)
Determines the trend based on whether OV is above or below OV2
Shifts the EMA line above price during bearish trends and below price during bullish trends
The offset is percentage-based and scales dynamically with the price for optimal readability
✅ Ideal For:
Trend-followers seeking visual clarity
Discretionary traders who want less clutter and more signal
Anyone who likes their EMAs with a little more flair and insight
