Anchored Moving Average by TradeSeekersThis script plots an SMA that resets based on the selected anchored timeframe, by default it is 1D.
There exists some other AMA scripts but I didn't find anything that plotted the non-anchored MA alongside the AMA and displayed the point of convergence.
The non-anchored MA presents slightly opaque as a circle plot until the anchored MA converges.
Until the anchored MA contains enough data an simple average is calculated of all source prices collected starting from the anchor.
For example, if the timeframe has reset and source is set to closing prices, then after the first bar the AMA is essentially the last closing price. After two bars have closed then the AMA is an average of the last two closing prices.
Future updates may add additional average types as time permits.

BTC Price-Volume Efficiency Z-Score (PVER-Z)Overview:
This PVER-Z Score measures Bitcoin’s price movement efficiency relative to trading volume, normalized using a Z-Score over a long-term 200-day period.
It highlights statistically rare inefficiencies, helping investors spot extreme accumulation and distribution zones for systematic SDCA strategies.
Concept:
- Measures how efficiently price has moved relative to the volume that supported it over a long historical window (Default 200 days) but can be adjustable.
- It compares cumulative price changes vs cumulative volume flow.
- Then normalizes those inefficiencies using Z-Score statistics.
How It Works:
1. Calculates the absolute daily price change divided by volume (price-volume efficiency ratio).
2. Applies EMA smoothing to remove noisy fluctuations.
3. Normalizes the result into a Z-Score to detect statistically significant outliers.
4. Plots dynamic heatmap colors as the efficiency score moves through different deviation zones.
5. Background fills appear when the Z-Score moves beyond ±2 to ±3 SD, signaling rare macro opportunities.
Why is Bitcoin price rising while PVER-Z is falling toward green zone?
1. PVER-Z is not just "price" — it's price change relative to volume. PVER-Z measures how efficient the price movement is relative to volume. It's not "price going up" or "price going down" directly. It's how unusual or inefficient the price versus volume relationship is, compared to its historical average.
2. A rising Bitcoin price + weak efficiency = PVER-Z falls.
If Bitcoin rises but volume is super strong (normal buying volume), no problem, the PVER-Z stays normal. If Bitcoin rises but with very weak volume support, PVER-Z falls.
***Usage Notes***:
- Best used on the daily timeframe or higher.
- When the Z-Score enters the green zone (-2 to -3 SD), it signals a historically rare accumulation zone — favoring long-term buying for SDCA.
- When the Z-Score enters the red zone (+2 to +3 SD), it signals overextended distribution — caution recommended.
- Designed strictly for mean-reversion analysis, no trend-following signals.
- The red zone on a proper Z chart would be -2SD to -3SD and +2SD to +3SD for the green zone. At the time of publishing I do not know how to adjust the values on the indicator itself. The red zone at -2SD is actually +2 Standard Deviations on a Z Score SD Chart. (overbought zone).
- Your green zone at +2SD is actually -2SD Standard Deviations (oversold zone).
- Built manually with no reliance on built-in indicators
- Designed for Bitcoin on the 1D, 3D, or Weekly timeframes. NOT for intraday trading.
- DO NOT SOELY RELY ON THIS INDICATOR FOR YOUR LONG TERM VALUATION. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FINANICAL ASSETS.
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.
Gabriel's Adaptive MA📜 Gabriel's Adaptive MA — Indicator Description
Gabriel's Adaptive Moving Average (GAMA) is a dynamic trend-following indicator that intelligently adjusts its smoothing based on both trend strength and market volatility.
It is designed to provide faster responsiveness during strong moves while maintaining stability during choppy or consolidating periods.
🧠 What it does:
This indicator plots a custom-built, highly dynamic Moving Average that adapts itself intelligently based on:
Trend Strength (via Perry Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio)
Market Volatility (via Tushar Chande's Volatility Ratio)
It reacts faster when the market is trending strongly and/or highly volatile,
and it smooths out and slows down when the market is choppy or calm.
🔍 How it works (step-by-step):
1. User Inputs:
length: (default 14)
How many bars to look back for calculations.
fastSC: Fastest possible smoothing constant (hardcoded as 2 / (2+1))
slowSC: Slowest possible smoothing constant (hardcoded as 2 / (30+1))
(These are used to control how fast/slow the KAMA can react.)
2. Calculate Trendiness — Kaufman Efficiency Ratio (ER):
Net Change = Absolute difference between current close and close from length bars ago.
Sum of Absolute Changes = Sum of absolute price changes between every bar inside the length window.
Efficiency Ratio (ER) = Net Change divided by Sum of Changes.
✅ If ER is close to 1 → Smooth, trending market.
✅ If ER is close to 0 → Choppy, sideways market.
3. Calculate Bumpiness — Volatility Ratio (VR):
Short-Term Volatility = Standard deviation of close over length.
Long-Term Volatility = Standard deviation of close over length * 2.
Volatility Ratio (VR) = Short-Term Volatility divided by Long-Term Volatility.
✅ If VR is >1 → Market is becoming more volatile recently.
✅ If VR is <1 → Market is calming down.
4. Create the Hybrid Alpha:
Multiply ER × VR.
Then square the result (math.pow(..., 2)).
This hybrid alpha decides how aggressive the MA should be based on both trend and volatility.
If ER and VR are both strong → big alpha → fast movement.
If ER and/or VR are weak → small alpha → slow movement.
5. Calculate the Final Adaptive Smoothing Constant (hybridSC):
hybridSC = slowSC + hybridAlpha × (fastSC - slowSC)
This smoothly interpolates between the slowest and fastest smoothing depending on market conditions.
6. Calculate and Plot the Adaptive MA:
The moving average is manually calculated:
hybridMA := na(hybridMA ) ? close : hybridMA + hybridSC * (close - hybridMA )
It behaves like an EMA but with dynamic smoothing, not a fixed alpha.
✅ If hybridSC is high → MA hugs the price closely.
✅ If hybridSC is low → MA stays smooth and resists noise.
Finally, it plots this Adaptive MA on the chart in blue color.
📊 Visual Summary

Cointegration Buy and Sell Signals [EdgeTerminal]The Cointegration Buy And Sell Signals is a sophisticated technical analysis tool to spot high-probability market turning points — before they fully develop on price charts.
Most reversal indicators rely on raw price action, visual patterns, or basic and common indicator logic — which often suffer in noisy or trending markets. In most cases, they lag behind the actual change in trend and provide useless and late signals.
This indicator is rooted in advanced concepts from statistical arbitrage, mean reversion theory, and quantitative finance, and it packages these ideas in a user-friendly visual format that works on any timeframe and asset class.
It does this by analyzing how the short-term and long-term EMAs behave relative to each other — and uses statistical filters like Z-score, correlation, volatility normalization, and stationarity tests to issue highly selective Buy and Sell signals.
This tool provides statistical confirmation of trend exhaustion, allowing you to trade mean-reverting setups. It fades overextended moves and uses signal stacking to reduce false entries. The entire indicator is based on a very interesting mathematically grounded model which I will get into down below.
Here’s how the indicator works at a high level:
EMAs as Anchors: It starts with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — one short-term and one long-term — to track market direction.
Statistical Spread (Regression Residuals): It performs a rolling linear regression between the short and long EMA. Instead of using the raw difference (short - long), it calculates the regression residual, which better models their natural relationship.
Normalize the Spread: The spread is divided by historical price volatility (ATR) to make it scale-invariant. This ensures the indicator works on low-priced stocks, high-priced indices, and crypto alike.
Z-Score: It computes a Z-score of the normalized spread to measure how “extreme” the current deviation is from its historical average.
Dynamic Thresholds: Unlike most tools that use fixed thresholds (like Z = ±2), this one calculates dynamic thresholds using historical percentiles (e.g., top 10% and bottom 10%) so that it adapts to the asset's current behavior to reduce false signals based on market’s extreme volatility at a certain time.
Z-Score Momentum: It tracks the direction of the Z-score — if Z is extreme but still moving away from zero, it's too early. It waits for reversion to start (Z momentum flips).
Correlation Check: Uses a rolling Pearson correlation to confirm the two EMAs are still statistically related. If they diverge (low correlation), no signal is shown.
Stationarity Filter (ADF-like): Uses the volatility of the regression residual to determine if the spread is stationary (mean-reverting) — a key concept in cointegration and statistical arbitrage. It’s not possible to build an exact ADF filter in Pine Script so we used the next best thing.
Signal Control: Prevents noisy charts and overtrading by ensuring no back-to-back buy or sell signals. Each signal must alternate and respect a cooldown period so you won’t be overwhelmed and won’t get a messy chart.
Important Notes to Remember:
The whole idea behind this indicator is to try to use some stat arb models to detect shifting patterns faster than they appear on common indicators, so in some cases, some assumptions are made based on historic values.
This means that in some cases, the indicator can “jump” into the conclusion too quickly. Although we try to eliminate this by using stationary filters, correlation checks, and Z-score momentum detection, there is still a chance some signals that are generated can be too early, in the stock market, that's the same as being incorrect. So make sure to use this with other indicators to confirm the movement.
How To Use The Indicator:
You can use the indicator as a standalone reversal system, as a filter for overbought and oversold setups, in combination with other trend indicators and as a part of a signal stack with other common indicators for divergence spotting and fade trades.
The indicator produces simple buy and sell signals when all criteria is met. Based on our own testing, we recommend treating these signals as standalone and independent from each other . Meaning that if you take position after a buy signal, don’t wait for a sell signal to appear to exit the trade and vice versa.
This is why we recommend using this indicator with other advanced or even simple indicators as an early confirmation tool.
The Display Table:
The floating diagnostic table in the top-right corner of the chart is a key part of this indicator. It's a live statistical dashboard that helps you understand why a signal is (or isn’t) being triggered, and whether the market conditions are lining up for a potential reversal.
1. Z-Score
What it shows: The current Z-score value of the volatility-normalized spread between the short EMA and the regression line of the long EMA.
Why it matters: Z-score tells you how statistically extreme the current relationship is. A Z-score of:
0 = perfectly average
> +2 = very overbought
< -2 = very oversold
How to use it: Look for Z-score reaching extreme highs or lows (beyond dynamic thresholds). Watch for it to start reversing direction, especially when paired with green table rows (see below)
2. Z-Score Momentum
What it shows: The rate of change (ROC) of the Z-score:
Zmomentum=Zt − Zt − 1
Why it matters: This tells you if the Z-score is still stretching out (e.g., getting more overbought/oversold), or reverting back toward the mean.
How to use it: A positive Z-momentum after a very low Z-score = potential bullish reversal A negative Z-momentum after a very high Z-score = potential bearish reversal. Avoid signals when momentum is still pushing deeper into extremes
3. Correlation
What it shows: The rolling Pearson correlation coefficient between the short EMA and long EMA.
Why it matters: High correlation (closer to +1) means the EMAs are still statistically connected — a key requirement for cointegration or mean reversion to be valid.
How to use it: Look for correlation > 0.7 for reliable signals. If correlation drops below 0.5, ignore the Z-score — the EMAs aren’t moving together anymore
4. Stationary
What it shows: A simplified "Yes" or "No" answer to the question:
“Is the spread statistically stable (stationary) and mean-reverting right now?”
Why it matters: Mean reversion strategies only work when the spread is stationary — that is, when the distance between EMAs behaves like a rubber band, not a drifting cloud.
How to use it: A "Yes" means the indicator sees a consistent, stable spread — good for trading. "No" means the market is too volatile, disjointed, or chaotic for reliable mean reversion. Wait for this to flip to "Yes" before trusting signals
5. Last Signal
What it shows: The last signal issued by the system — either "Buy", "Sell", or "None"
Why it matters: Helps avoid confusion and repeated entries. Signals only alternate — you won’t get another Buy until a Sell happens, and vice versa.
How to use it: If the last signal was a "Buy", and you’re watching for a Sell, don’t act on more bullish signals. Great for systems where you only want one position open at a time
6. Bars Since Signal
What it shows: How many bars (candles) have passed since the last Buy or Sell signal.
Why it matters: Gives you context for how long the current condition has persisted
How to use it: If it says 1 or 2, a signal just happened — avoid jumping in late. If it’s been 10+ bars, a new opportunity might be brewing soon. You can use this to time exits if you want to fade a recent signal manually
Indicator Settings:
Short EMA: Sets the short-term EMA period. The smaller the number, the more reactive and more signals you get.
Long EMA: Sets the slow EMA period. The larger this number is, the smoother baseline, and more reliable trend bases are generated.
Z-Score Lookback: The period or bars used for mean & std deviation of spread between short and long EMAs. Larger values result in smoother signals with fewer false positives.
Volatility Window: This value normalizes the spread by historical volatility. This allows you to prevent scale distortion, showing you a cleaner and better chart.
Correlation Lookback: How many periods or how far back to test correlation between slow and long EMAs. This filters out false positives when EMAs lose alignment.
Hurst Lookback: The multiplier to approximate stationarity. Lower leads to more sensitivity to regime change, higher produces a more stricter filtering.
Z Threshold Percentile: This value sets how extreme Z-score must be to trigger a signal. For example, 90 equals only top/bottom 10% of extremes, 80 = more frequent.
Min Bars Between Signals: This hard stop prevents back-to-back signals. The idea is to avoid over-trading or whipsaws in volatile markets even when Hurst lookback and volatility window values are not enough to filter signals.
Some More Recommendations:
We recommend trying different EMA pairs (10/50, 21/100, 5/20) for different asset behaviors. You can set percentile to 85 or 80 if you want more frequent but looser signals. You can also use the Z-score reversion monitor for powerful confirmation.

Percentage difference to averagesSimple indicator to analyse the distance of price and average.
An indicator that shows the percentage distance between the current price and a moving average (MA) is a powerful tool to assess how far the price has deviated from its recent average. It provides insights into market extremes, momentum, and potential reversal zones.
Identifying Overbought / Oversold Conditions:
When the price is significantly above the moving average (e.g., +10% or more), it might suggest that the asset is overbought and could be due for a correction or consolidation.
If the price is far below the MA (e.g., –10%), it might indicate oversold conditions and a potential rebound.
Gauging Strength or Weakness:
- A large positive distance shows strong bullish momentum – price is surging away from its average.
- A large negative distance can suggest weakness, panic selling, or capitulation.
This helps traders and analysts see whether current price action is strong or potentially stretched.
Entry/Exit Signal Aid
- Trend followers might enter when the price pulls back toward the MA after a strong run.
- Mean reversion traders use the distance to bet on a return toward the average when the deviation gets too extreme.
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.
