TASC 2024.11 Ultimate Strength Index█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Ultimate Strength Index (USI) indicator, introduced by John Ehlers in his article titled "Ultimate Strength Index (USI)" from the November 2024 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The USI is a modified version of Wilder's original Relative Strength Index (RSI) that incorporates Ehlers' UltimateSmoother lowpass filter to produce an output with significantly reduced lag.
█ CONCEPTS
Many technical indicators, including the RSI, lag due to their heavy reliance on historical data. John Ehlers reformulated the RSI to substantially reduce lag by applying his UltimateSmoother filter to upward movements ( strength up - SU ) and downward movements ( strength down - SD ) in the time series, replacing the standard process of smoothing changes with rolling moving averages (RMAs). Ehlers' recent works, covered in our recent script publications, have shown that the UltimateSmoother is an effective alternative to other classic averages, offering notably less lag in its response.
Ehlers also modified the RSI formula to produce an index that ranges from -1 to +1 instead of 0 to 100. As a result, the USI indicates bullish conditions when its value moves above 0 and bearish conditions when it falls below 0.
The USI retains many of the strengths of the traditional RSI while offering the advantage of reduced lag. It generally uses a larger lookback window than the conventional RSI to achieve similar behavior, making it suitable for trend trading with longer data lengths. When applied with shorter lengths, the USI's peaks and valleys tend to align closely with significant turning points in the time series, making it a potentially helpful tool for timing swing trades.
█ CALCULATIONS
The first step in the USI's calculation is determining each bar's strength up (SU) and strength down (SD) values. If the current bar's close exceeds the previous bar's, the calculation assigns the difference to SU. Otherwise, SU is zero. Likewise, if the current bar's close is below the previous bar's, it assigns the difference to SD. Otherwise, SD is zero.
Next, instead of the RSI's typical smoothing process, the USI's calculation applies the UltimateSmoother to the short-term average SU and SD values, reducing high-frequency chop in the series with low lag.
Finally, this formula determines the USI value:
USI = ( Ult (SU) − Ult (SD)) / ( Ult (SU) + Ult (SD)),
where Ult (SU) and Ult (SD) are the smoothed average strength up and strength down values.

Stochastics Confluences 4 in 1Description of the Pine Script:
This script plots the Full Stochastic indicator for four different time periods, and highlights conditions where potential buy or sell signals can be identified. The Stochastic indicator measures the position of the current closing price relative to the range of high and low prices over a defined period, helping traders identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Key Features:
Stochastic Calculation for 4 Different Periods:
The script calculates the Stochastic for four separate lookback periods: 9, 14, 40, and 60 bars.
Each Stochastic value is smoothed by a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and provide a clearer signal.
Visual Representation:
It plots each Stochastic value on the chart using different colors, allowing the user to see how the different periods of the indicator behave relative to each other.
Horizontal lines are drawn at 80 (Upper Bound) and 20 (Lower Bound), commonly used to identify overbought and oversold regions.
Highlighting Buy and Sell Conditions:
Green Highlight (Potential Buy Signal):
When all four Stochastic values (for the four different periods) are below 20, this suggests that the asset is in an oversold condition across multiple timeframes. The green background highlight appears when the Stochastic lines converge below 20, indicating a potential buy signal, as the price may be preparing to move upward from an oversold state.
Red Highlight (Potential Sell Signal):
When all four Stochastic values are above 80, the asset is in an overbought condition across multiple timeframes. The red background highlight appears when the Stochastic lines converge above 80, indicating a potential sell signal, as the price may soon reverse downward from an overbought state.
How to Interpret the Signals:
Buy Signals (Green Highlight):
When the chart is highlighted in green, it means the Stochastic indicators for all four periods are below 20, signaling that the asset is oversold and may be nearing a potential upward reversal. This condition suggests a possible buying opportunity, especially when other indicators confirm the potential for an upward trend.
Sell Signals (Red Highlight):
When the chart is highlighted in red, it indicates that the Stochastic indicators for all four periods are above 80, meaning the asset is overbought. This condition signals a possible downward reversal, suggesting a potential selling opportunity if the price begins to show signs of weakness.
By using this script, traders can visually identify periods of strong confluence across different timeframes when the Stochastic indicators are in extreme oversold or overbought conditions, which are traditionally seen as strong buy or sell signals.
This approach helps filter out weaker signals and focuses on moments when all timeframes align, increasing the probability of a successful trade.
Fear Greed Zones by Relative Strength IndexThis is a visual modification of the relative Strength Index (RSI) to express extreme areas as fear and greed Zones.

Relative Strength Price Oscillator Indicator (RS PPO)Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)
The Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. As with its cousin, MACD, the Percentage Price Oscillator is shown with a signal line, a histogram and a centerline. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, centerline crossovers, and divergences.
PPO readings are not subject to the price level of the security and the PPO values for different securities can be compared, regardless of the price of the security.
Relative Strength (RS)
Relative strength is a strategy used in momentum investing and focuses on investing in stocks or other securities that have performed well relative to the market as a whole or to a relevant benchmark.
Chart
In the chart, Microsoft stock (MSFT) is plotted against the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH).
In the example on the left, from the negative values of the RS PPO it can be seen that MSFT, although trending upward, is losing out in negative terms to the SMH etf.
In the example on the right, during a correction phase with a downward price trend, Microsoft held up relatively well compared to the Van Eck Semiconductor etf.
Momentum Nexus Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Momentum Nexus Oscillator " indicator is a comprehensive momentum-based tool designed to provide traders with visual cues on market conditions using multiple oscillators. By combining four popular technical indicators—RSI (Relative Strength Index), VZO (Volume Zone Oscillator), MFI (Money Flow Index), and CCI (Commodity Channel Index)—this heatmap offers a holistic view of the market's momentum.
The indicator plots two lines: one representing the current chart’s combined momentum score and the other representing a higher timeframe’s (HTF) score, if enabled. Through smooth gradient color transitions and easy-to-read signals, the Momentum Nexus Heatmap allows traders to easily identify potential trend reversals or continuation patterns.
Traders can use this tool to detect overbought or oversold conditions, helping them anticipate possible long or short trade opportunities. The option to use a higher timeframe enhances the flexibility of the indicator for longer-term trend analysis.
🔶 Key Features
Multi-Oscillator Approach: Combines four popular momentum oscillators (RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI) to generate a weighted score, providing a comprehensive picture of market momentum.
Dynamic Color Heatmap: Utilizes a smooth gradient transition between bullish and bearish colors, reflecting market momentum across different thresholds.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Compatibility: Includes an optional higher timeframe input that displays a separate score line based on the same momentum metrics, allowing for multi-timeframe analysis.
Customizable Parameters: Adjustable RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI lengths, as well as overbought and oversold levels, to match the trader’s strategy or preference.
Signal Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for both the current chart and higher timeframe scores, notifying traders when long or short entry signals are triggered.
Buy/Sell Signals: Displays visual signals (▲ and ▼) on the chart when combined scores reach overbought or oversold levels, providing clear entry cues.
User-Friendly Visualization: The heatmap is separated into four sections representing each indicator, providing a transparent view of how each contributes to the overall momentum score.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator:
Combined Score
The indicator generates a combined score by weighing the individual contributions of RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI. This score ranges from 0 to 100 and is plotted as a line on the chart. Lower values suggest potential oversold conditions, while higher values indicate overbought conditions.
Color Heatmap
The indicator divides the combined score into four distinct sections, each representing one of the underlying momentum oscillators (RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI). Bullish (greenish) colors indicate upward momentum, while bearish (grayish) colors suggest downward momentum.
Long/Short Signals
When the combined score drops below the oversold threshold (default is 26), a long signal (▲) is displayed on the chart, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
When the combined score exceeds the overbought threshold (default is 74), a short signal (▼) is shown, signaling a potential sell or short opportunity.
Higher Timeframe Analysis
If enabled, the indicator also plots a line representing the combined score for a higher timeframe. This can be used to align lower timeframe trades with the broader trend of a higher timeframe, providing added confirmation.
Signals for long and short entries are also plotted for the higher timeframe when its combined score reaches overbought or oversold levels.
🔶Purpose of Using Multiple Technical Indicators
The combination of RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI in the Momentum Nexus Heatmap provides a comprehensive approach to analyzing market momentum by leveraging the unique strengths of each indicator. This multi-indicator method minimizes the limitations of using just one tool, resulting in more reliable signals and a clearer understanding of market conditions.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI contributes by measuring the strength and speed of recent price movements. It helps identify overbought or oversold levels, signaling potential trend reversals or corrections. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it one of the most widely used indicators in technical analysis, contributing to momentum assessment in a straightforward manner.
VZO (Volume Zone Oscillator)
VZO adds the critical element of volume to the analysis. By assessing whether price movements are supported by significant volume, VZO distinguishes between price changes that are driven by real market conviction and those that might be short-lived. It helps validate the strength of a trend or alert the trader to potential weakness when price moves are unsupported by volume.
MFI (Money Flow Index)
MFI enhances the analysis by combining price and volume to gauge money flow into and out of an asset. This indicator provides insight into the participation of large players in the market, showing if money is pouring into or exiting the asset. MFI acts as a volume-weighted version of RSI, giving more weight to volume shifts and helping traders understand the sustainability of price trends.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
CCI contributes by measuring how far the price deviates from its statistical average. This helps in identifying extreme conditions where the market might be overextended in either direction. CCI is especially useful for spotting trend reversals or continuations, particularly during market extremes, and for identifying divergence signals.

Divergence Indicator Multi [TradingFinder] MACD AO RSI DIV Chart🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is Divergence in Financial Markets?
Divergence in technical analysis happens when the price of a stock moves in a direction opposite to certain indicators. This is a crucial concept in financial markets as it can signal either a trend reversal or a continuation of the current correction in the trend. Understanding divergence helps traders and analysts make more informed decisions.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
A positive regular divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend, where two price lows form. This divergence appears when the price chart shows a new low, but the indicator does not follow, signaling potential buying opportunities.
Positive divergence indicates increased buying pressure and reduced selling pressure, making it a useful signal for forecasting price increases.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
A negative regular divergence is seen during an uptrend when two price highs form. The price chart records a new high, but the indicator does not reflect this change, suggesting that a market downturn is likely.
This type of divergence shows strong selling pressure and weaker buying activity, which can help identify selling opportunities.
Both positive and negative divergences are powerful tools for identifying potential trend reversals and key support and resistance levels. For example, when an indicator trends upward while the price moves downward, this creates divergence, warning traders to reconsider their investment strategy.
🟣 Different Types of Divergence in Trading
1. Regular Divergence :
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2. Hidden Divergence :
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence.
Note : This guide focuses specifically on Regular Divergence.
🟣 What is Regular Divergence?
Regular Divergence, often referred to as convergence, occurs when price action and indicators show conflicting patterns, usually signaling the end of a trend. Detecting regular divergence helps traders anticipate potential trend reversals or the formation of reversal patterns.
🔵 How to Use
To optimize the detection of divergence, you can adjust the Fractal Period to specify the length of time for identifying divergence patterns.
Additionally, with the Divergence Detection Method, you can select oscillators like the MACD, RSI, or AO to base divergence detection on.
Divergence in MACD :
MACD divergence occurs when the price chart forms an opposite pattern compared to the MACD line, indicating a potential price reversal.
Divergence in RSI :
In a downtrend, if the price chart forms two consecutive lows with the second lower than the first, but the RSI shows two lows with the second higher, this indicates positive regular divergence, which is a buy signal.
On the other hand, during an uptrend, if the price forms two highs with the second higher than the first, but the RSI shows the second high lower, this points to negative regular divergence, indicating a sell signal.
Divergence in AO (Awesome Oscillator) :
The AO indicator calculates histograms using the difference between 5-period and 34-period simple moving averages. It compares peaks and troughs of these histograms with price movements, detecting divergence and plotting lines and arrows to signal divergence.
🔵 Table
The following table breaks down the main features of the oscillator. It covers four critical categories: Exist, Consecutive, Divergence Quality, and Change Phase Indicator.
Exist : If divergence is detected, a "+" will appear in this row.
Consecutive: Shows the number of consecutive divergences that have formed in a short period.
Divergence Quality : Evaluates the quality of the divergence based on the number of occurrences. One is labeled "Normal," two are "Good," and three or more are considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change is detected between two oscillation peaks, this is marked in the table.
RSI & Volume Impact Analyzer Ver.1.00Description:
The RSI VOL Score indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and volume data through a mathematical calculation to assist traders in identifying and confirming potential trend reversals and continuations. By leveraging both momentum (RSI) and volume data, this indicator provides a more comprehensive view of market strength compared to using RSI or volume alone.
How It Works:
This indicator calculates a score by comparing the RSI against its moving average, adjusted by the volume data. The resulting score quantifies market momentum and strength. When the score crosses its signal line, it may indicate key moments where the market shifts between bullish and bearish trends, potentially helping traders spot these changes earlier.
Calculation Methods:
The RSI VOL Score allows users to select between several calculation methods to suit their strategy:
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Provides a balanced smoothing approach.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Reacts more quickly to recent price changes, offering faster signals.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Emphasizes high-volume periods, focusing on stronger market moves.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Applies greater weight to recent data for a more responsive signal.
What the Indicator Plots:
Score Line: Represents a combined metric based on RSI and volume, helping traders gauge the overall strength of the trend.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the score that helps traders identify potential trend changes. Bullish signals occur when the score crosses above the signal line, while bearish signals occur when the score drops below.
Key Features:
Trend Identification: The score and signal line crossovers can help confirm emerging bullish or bearish trends, allowing traders to act on upward or downward momentum.
Customizable Settings: Traders can adjust the lengths of the RSI and signal line and choose between different moving averages (SMA, EMA, VWMA, WMA) to tailor the indicator to their trading style.
Timeframe-Specific: The indicator works within the selected timeframe, ensuring accurate trend analysis based on the current market context.
Practical Use Cases:
Trending Markets: In trending markets, this indicator helps confirm bullish or bearish signals by validating price moves with volume. Traders can use the crossover of the score and signal line as a guide for entering or exiting trades based on trend strength.
Ranging Markets: In ranging markets, the indicator helps filter out false signals by confirming if price movements are backed by volume, making it a useful tool for traders looking to avoid entering during weak or uncertain market conditions.
Interpreting the Score and Signal Lines:
Bullish Signal: A bullish signal occurs when the score crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential upward trend in momentum and price.
Bearish Signal: A bearish signal is generated when the score crosses below the signal line, suggesting a potential downward trend or weakening market momentum.
By mathematically combining RSI and volume data into a single trend score, the RSI VOL Score indicator provides traders with a powerful tool for identifying trend shifts early and making more confident trading decisions.
Important Note:
The signals generated by this indicator should be interpreted in conjunction with other analysis tools. It is always advisable to confirm signals before making any trading decisions.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is designed to assist traders in their decision-making process and does not provide financial advice. The creators of this tool are not responsible for any financial losses or trading decisions made based on its signals. Trading involves significant risk, and users should seek professional advice or conduct their own research before making any trading decisions.
Simple RSI stock Strategy [1D] The "Simple RSI Stock Strategy " is designed to long-term traders. Strategy uses a daily time frame to capitalize on signals generated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This strategy is suitable for low-leverage trading environments and focuses on identifying potential buy opportunities when the market is oversold, while incorporating strong risk management with both dynamic and static Stop Loss mechanisms.
This strategy is recommended for use with a relatively small amount of capital and is best applied by diversifying across multiple stocks in a strong uptrend, particularly in the S&P 500 stock market. It is specifically designed for equities, and may not perform well in other markets such as commodities, forex, or cryptocurrencies, where different market dynamics and volatility patterns apply.
Indicators Used in the Strategy:
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index):
- The RSI is a momentum oscillator used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market.
- This strategy enters long positions when the RSI drops below the oversold level (default: 30), indicating a potential buying opportunity.
- It focuses on oversold conditions but uses a filter (SMA 200) to ensure trades are only made in the context of an overall uptrend.
2. SMA 200 (Simple Moving Average):
- The 200-period SMA serves as a trend filter, ensuring that trades are only executed when the price is above the SMA, signaling a bullish market.
- This filter helps to avoid entering trades in a downtrend, thereby reducing the risk of holding positions in a declining market.
3. ATR (Average True Range):
- The ATR is used to measure market volatility and is instrumental in setting the Stop Loss.
- By multiplying the ATR value by a custom multiplier (default: 1.5), the strategy dynamically adjusts the Stop Loss level based on market volatility, allowing for flexibility in risk management.
How the Strategy Works:
Entry Signals:
The strategy opens long positions when RSI indicates that the market is oversold (below 30), and the price is above the 200-period SMA. This ensures that the strategy buys into potential market bottoms within the context of a long-term uptrend.
Take Profit Levels:
The strategy defines three distinct Take Profit (TP) levels:
TP 1: A 5% from the entry price.
TP 2: A 10% from the entry price.
TP 3: A 15% from the entry price.
As each TP level is reached, the strategy closes portions of the position to secure profits: 33% of the position is closed at TP 1, 66% at TP 2, and 100% at TP 3.
Visualizing Target Points:
The strategy provides visual feedback by plotting plotshapes at each Take Profit level (TP 1, TP 2, TP 3). This allows traders to easily see the target profit levels on the chart, making it easier to monitor and manage positions as they approach key profit-taking areas.
Stop Loss Mechanism:
The strategy uses a dual Stop Loss system to effectively manage risk:
ATR Trailing Stop: This dynamic Stop Loss adjusts based on the ATR value and trails the price as the position moves in the trader’s favor. If a price reversal occurs and the market begins to trend downward, the trailing stop closes the position, locking in gains or minimizing losses.
Basic Stop Loss: Additionally, a fixed Stop Loss is set at 25%, limiting potential losses. This basic Stop Loss serves as a safeguard, automatically closing the position if the price drops 25% from the entry point. This higher Stop Loss is designed specifically for low-leverage trading, allowing more room for market fluctuations without prematurely closing positions.
to determine the level of stop loss and target point I used a piece of code by RafaelZioni, here is the script from which a piece of code was taken
Together, these mechanisms ensure that the strategy dynamically manages risk while offering robust protection against significant losses in case of sharp market downturns.
The position size has been estimated by me at 75% of the total capital. For optimal capital allocation, a recommended value based on the Kelly Criterion, which is calculated to be 59.13% of the total capital per trade, can also be considered.

Stochastic RMIThe Relative Momentum Index (RMI) is a technical analysis indicator used to analyze the price movements of assets in a financial market. Similar to the RSI (Relative Strength Index), it helps measure the momentum and strength of the asset's price movements over the recent period. However, the RMI offers a "smoother" view, unlike the RSI. This means that there is less "noise" in the indicator.
As is known, the Stochastic RSI indicator is based on the RSI. What I did was to create a stochastic based on the RMI. If you compare this indicator with the "Stochastic RSI", you will see that there is no difference between them, except that the "Stochastic RMI" is more "smooth" and noiseless.
Relative Strength Index Custom [BRTLab]RSI Custom — Strategy-Oriented RSI with Multi-Timeframe Precision
The Relative Strength Index Custom is designed with a focus on developing robust trading strategies. This powerful indicator leverages the logic of calculating RSI on higher timeframes (HTFs) while allowing traders to execute trades on lower timeframes (LTFs). Its unique ability to extract accurate RSI data from higher timeframes without waiting for those candles to close provides a real-time advantage, eliminating the "look-ahead" bias that often
distorts backtest results.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe RSI for Strategy Development
This indicator stands out by allowing you to calculate RSI on higher timeframes, even while operating on lower timeframe charts. This means you can, for example, calculate RSI on the 1-hour or daily chart and execute trades on a 1-minute chart without needing to wait for the higher timeframe candle to close. This feature is crucial for strategy-building as it eliminates backtesting issues where data from the future is inadvertently used, providing more reliable backtest results.
Example: On a 15-minute chart, you can use the 1-hour RSI to open positions based on higher timeframe momentum, but you get this signal in real-time, improving timing and accuracy.
Accurate Data Extraction from Higher Timeframes
The indicator's custom logic ensures that accurate RSI data is retrieved from higher timeframes, providing an edge by delivering timely information for lower timeframe decisions.

Customizable RSI Settings for Strategy Tuning
The script offers full customization of the RSI, including length and source price (close, open, high, or low), allowing traders to tailor the RSI to fit specific trading strategies. These settings are housed in the "RSI Settings" section, enabling precise adjustments that align with your overall strategy.
No Future-Looking in Backtests
Traditional backtests often suffer from "future-looking" bias, where calculations unintentionally use data from candles that haven’t yet closed. This indicator is specifically designed to prevent such issues by calculating RSI values in real-time. This is particularly important when creating and testing strategies, as it ensures that the conditions under which trades would have been made are accurately represented in historical tests.
RSI-Based Moving Average for Additional Filtering
The built-in moving average (MA) based on RSI values helps filter out noise, making it easier to identify genuine trend shifts. This is particularly useful in strategies where moving average crossovers act as additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.
Overbought and Oversold Zone Detection
Visual gradient fills on the RSI chart help traders identify overbought and oversold zones (above 70 and below 30, respectively). These zones are crucial for timing reversal trades or confirming momentum-based strategies.
How This Indicator Enhances Your Strategy
Increased Accuracy for Intraday Strategies
For traders who operate on lower timeframes, using higher timeframe RSI data gives a broader perspective of market momentum while still maintaining precision for short-term trade entries. The real-time data extraction means you don't need to wait for HTF candles to close, which can dramatically improve your entry timing.
Strategic Edge in Backtesting
One of the greatest challenges in backtesting strategies is avoiding future-looking bias. This indicator is built to overcome this by using real-time multi-timeframe data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of historical strategy testing, which provides confidence in your strategies when applied to live markets.
Advanced Filtering for Trend Strategies
By combining the RSI values with a customizable moving average (MA) and visualizing key momentum zones with overbought/oversold fills, the indicator allows for more refined trade filters. This ensures that signals generated by your strategy are based on solid momentum data and not short-term price fluctuations.

Color Mode: Choose between "Trend Following" and "Overbought/Oversold" modes for line color indication.
Display Settings: Color customization for bullish and bearish phases allows better visual differentiation.
How It Works:
The CBCR uses four control points derived from historical RSI values over a user-defined length. It then applies the cubic Bezier formula to generate a sequence of points representing a smoothed version of the RSI over this range.
The Bezier curve is recalculated each time a specific number of bars (as defined by the Bezier Curve Length) have passed, helping reduce noise while retaining key trend information.
The result is a smoothed RSI that combines the adaptability of cubic Bezier curves with the familiar oscillation of the RSI, making it potentially more robust for identifying shifts in market sentiment.
Visuals:
Smoothed RSI Line: Plotted on the indicator pane, the line changes color depending on the chosen color mode:
Trend Following Mode: Color changes based on whether the smoothed RSI is above or below the 50-level.
Overbought/Oversold Mode: Color changes based on whether the smoothed RSI is above the overbought level or below the oversold level.
Bullish Color: Configurable (default: cyan).
Bearish Color: Configurable (default: red).
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Horizontal lines at user-defined levels (default: 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold) for easy identification of market extremes.
Usage:
The CBCR can be used like a traditional RSI but with a smoother output that may help traders avoid false signals generated by sudden price spikes. For instance:
Look for crossovers around the 50 level as a signal for changing momentum.
Use the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal zones.
Observe the color change of the line for an immediate visual cue on current sentiment.

Elliott Wave Oscillator with Peak DetectionThe Elliott Wave Oscillator with Derivative Peak Detection and Breakout Bands is a technical indicator that blends traditional Elliott Wave theory with modern derivative-based peak detection and breakout bands for a clearer view of market trends.
Key Components:
Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO):
The core of the indicator is based on the difference between two simple moving averages (SMA): a short-term SMA (default length: 5) and a long-term SMA (default length: 35).
This difference is expressed either as an absolute value or a percentage of the current price, depending on the user’s input.
Smoothing:
The EWO is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter out noise and provide a clearer trend direction.
The smoothing length is adaptive based on the current chart's timeframe (e.g., longer smoothing for daily charts).
Derivative Peak Detection:
The smoothed EWO is analyzed for peaks (positive) and troughs (negative) by calculating the derivative (rate of change) between consecutive values.
Peaks are detected when the derivative transitions from positive to negative, while troughs are identified when the derivative switches from negative to positive.
Tolerance levels are adjustable and vary by timeframe to avoid false signals.
Breakout Bands:
Upper and lower breakout bands are dynamically generated based on the smoothed EWO.
The bands help to filter significant peaks and troughs, only highlighting those that occur beyond the breakout levels.
Users can choose to display these bands and use them to filter out less significant peaks and troughs.
Visualization:
The original, unsmoothed EWO is plotted as a histogram, with positive values in green and negative values in red.
The smoothed EWO is plotted as a blue line, providing a clearer view of the underlying trend.
The breakout bands, if enabled, are plotted as white lines to visualize the upper and lower bounds of the oscillator's movement.
Positive peaks and negative troughs that meet the filtering criteria are marked with purple triangles (for peaks) and red triangles (for troughs) on the chart.
Customization Options:
Timeframe-based Smoothing and Tolerance: Different smoothing lengths and tolerance levels can be set for daily, hourly, and 5-minute charts.
Breakout Bands: Users can toggle the display of breakout bands and adjust their visual properties.
Peak Filtering: Peaks and troughs can be filtered based on whether they break out beyond the bands, or all peaks can be shown.
This indicator provides a unique blend of trend detection through the Elliott Wave Oscillator and derivative analysis to highlight significant market reversals while offering breakout bands as a filtering mechanism for false signals.
Gaussian RSI For Loop [TrendX_]The Gaussian RSI For Loop indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for trend-following traders seeking to identify strong uptrends in the market. By integrating a Gaussian and Weighted-MA (GWMA) with the Relative Strength Index (RSI), this indicator employs a loop-based scoring system to provide clear signals for potential trading opportunities. The combination of Gaussian smoothing techniques and overbought/oversold filtering enhances the indicator's ability to capture significant price movements while reducing noise, making it an optimal choice for traders aiming to capitalize on robust upward trends.
💎 KEY FEATURES
Gaussian Weighted Moving Average (GWMA): Smooths price data to reduce noise and enhance responsiveness to significant price changes.
Filtered RSI: Applies the RSI to Gaussian-filtered data, allowing for more accurate momentum readings.
Wavetrend Analysis: Calculates the difference between the Filtered RSI and its short-term moving average, providing additional insights into momentum shifts.
Loop-Based Scoring System: Evaluates the strength and direction of uptrends through a systematic analysis of the Filtered RSI against defined thresholds.
⚙️ USAGES
Identifying Strong Uptrends: Traders can use this indicator to pinpoint periods of strong upward momentum, helping them make informed decisions about entering long positions and its exits.
Trend and Signal Confirmation: The Score confirms Long and Exit signals which traders can see through the Dots on the Gaussian RSI.
🔎 BREAKDOWN
Gaussian-Filtered Data:
The first component of the Gaussian RSI For Loop is the application of a GWMA to the sourced price data. This smoothing technique uses weighted averages based on a Gaussian distribution, which emphasizes more recent prices while diminishing the impact of older prices. This GWMA effectively reduces market noise, allowing traders to focus on significant price movements. By adjusting weights using sigma parameters, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator, making it more responsive to genuine market trends while filtering out minor fluctuations that could lead to misleading signals.
Filtered RSI:
Next, the RSI is applied to the Gaussian-filtered data. The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, providing insights into overbought or oversold conditions. By applying the RSI to smoothed price data, traders obtain a clearer view of momentum without the distortion caused by sudden price spikes or drops. This results in more reliable readings that help identify potential trend reversals or continuations.
Wavetrend Analysis:
The Wavetrend component calculates the difference between the Filtered RSI and its short-term moving average (MA). This difference serves as an additional momentum indicator. When the Filtered RSI is above its short-term MA, it suggests that upward momentum is strengthening; conversely, when it falls below, it indicates weakening momentum. This analysis helps traders confirm whether an uptrend is gaining strength or losing traction.
Loop-Based Scoring System:
Range Analysis: The system evaluates the Filtered RSI by comparing its current value against overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) thresholds over a defined range. This systematic approach ensures that each value within this range contributes to understanding overall trend strength.
Score Calculation: As the loop iterates through values within the defined range, it adjusts a score based on whether the current Filtered RSI and its previous values are higher or lower than established OB and OS levels. This scoring mechanism quantifies trend strength and direction.
Strong Uptrend Trigger: A strong uptrend signal is generated when the score exceeds a predefined Score Threshold (Long). This indicates that bullish momentum is robust enough to warrant entry into long positions.
None Trend: Conversely, if the score falls below the Score Threshold (Short), it suggests that upward momentum has weakened significantly, signaling potential exit points and it can be consolidated or downtrend.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.

Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop [BackQuant]Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop
PLEASE Read the following carefully before applying this indicator to your trading system. Knowing the core logic behind the tools you're using allows you to integrate them into your strategy with confidence and precision.
Introducing BackQuant's Adaptive Gaussian Moving Average For Loop (AGMA FL) — a sophisticated trading indicator that merges the Gaussian Moving Average (GMA) with adaptive volatility to provide dynamic trend analysis. This unique indicator further enhances its effectiveness by utilizing a for-loop scoring mechanism to detect potential shifts in market direction. Let's dive into the components, the rationale behind them, and how this indicator can be practically applied to your trading strategies.
Understanding the Gaussian Moving Average (GMA)
The Gaussian Moving Average (GMA) is a smoothed moving average that applies Gaussian weighting to price data. Gaussian weighting gives more significance to data points near the center of the lookback window, making the GMA particularly effective at reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity to changes in price direction. In contrast to simpler moving averages like the SMA or EMA, GMA provides a more refined smoothing function, which can help traders follow the true trend in volatile markets.
In this script, the GMA is calculated over a defined Calculation Period (default 14), applying a Gaussian filter to smooth out market fluctuations and provide a clearer view of underlying trends.
Adaptive Volatility: A Dynamic Edge
The Adaptive feature in this indicator gives it the ability to adjust its sensitivity based on current market volatility. If the Adaptive option is enabled, the GMA uses a standard deviation-based volatility measure (with a default period of 20) to dynamically adjust the width of the Gaussian filter, allowing the GMA to react faster in volatile markets and more slowly in calm conditions. This dynamic nature ensures that the GMA stays relevant across different market environments.
When the Adaptive setting is disabled, the script defaults to a constant standard deviation value (default 1.0), providing a more stable but less responsive smoothing function.
Why Use Adaptive Gaussian Moving Average?
The Gaussian Moving Average already provides smoother results than standard moving averages, but by adding an adaptive component, the indicator becomes even more responsive to real-time price changes. In fast-moving or highly volatile markets, this adaptation allows traders to react quicker to emerging trends. Conversely, in quieter markets, it reduces over-sensitivity to minor fluctuations, thus lowering the risk of false signals.
For-Loop Scoring Mechanism
The heart of this indicator lies in its for-loop scoring system, which evaluates the smoothed price data (the GMA) over a specified range, comparing it to previous values. This scoring system assigns a numerical value based on whether the current GMA is higher or lower than previous values, creating a trend score.
Long Signals: These are generated when the for-loop score surpasses the Long Threshold (default set at 40), signaling that the GMA is gaining upward momentum, potentially identifying a favorable buying opportunity.
Short Signals: These are triggered when the score crosses below the Short Threshold (default set at -10), indicating that the market may be losing strength and that a selling or shorting opportunity could be emerging.
Thresholds & Customization Options
This indicator offers a high degree of flexibility, allowing you to fine-tune the settings according to your trading style and risk preferences:
Calculation Period: Adjust the lookback period for the Gaussian filter, affecting how smooth or responsive the indicator is to price changes.
Adaptive Mode: Toggle the adaptive feature on or off, allowing the GMA to dynamically adjust based on market volatility or remain consistent with a fixed standard deviation.
Volatility Settings: Control the standard deviation period for adaptive mode, fine-tuning how quickly the GMA responds to shifts in volatility.
For-Loop Settings: Modify the start and end points for the for-loop score calculation, adjusting the depth of analysis for trend signals.
Thresholds for Signals: Set custom long and short thresholds to determine when buy or sell signals should be generated.
Visualization Options: Choose to color bars based on trend direction, plot signal lines, or adjust the background color to reflect current market sentiment visually.
Trading Applications
The Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop can be applied to a variety of trading styles and markets. Here are some key ways you can use this indicator in practice:
Trend Following: The combination of Gaussian smoothing and adaptive volatility helps traders stay on top of market trends, identifying significant momentum shifts while filtering out noise. The for-loop scoring system enhances this by providing a numerical representation of trend strength, making it easier to spot when a new trend is emerging or when an existing one is gaining strength.
Mean Reversion: For traders looking to capitalize on short-term market corrections, the adaptive nature of this indicator makes it easier to identify when price action is deviating too far from its smoothed trend, allowing for strategic entries and exits based on overbought or oversold conditions.
Swing Trading: With its ability to capture medium-term price movements while avoiding the noise of short-term fluctuations, this indicator is well-suited for swing traders who aim to profit from market reversals or short-to-mid-term trends.
Volatility Management: The adaptive feature allows the indicator to adjust dynamically in volatile markets, ensuring that it remains responsive in times of increased uncertainty while avoiding unnecessary noise in calmer periods. This makes it an effective tool for traders who want to manage risk by staying in tune with changing market conditions.
Final Thoughts
The Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop is a powerful and flexible indicator that merges the elegance of Gaussian smoothing with the adaptability of volatility-based adjustments. By incorporating a for-loop scoring mechanism, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of market trends and potential trade opportunities.
It’s important to test the settings on historical data and adapt them to your specific trading style, timeframe, and market conditions. As with any technical tool, the AGMA For Loop should be used in conjunction with other indicators and solid risk management practices for the best results.

Two Pole Butterworth For Loop [BackQuant]Two Pole Butterworth For Loop
PLEASE read the following carefully, as understanding the underlying concepts and logic behind the indicator is key to incorporating it into your trading system in a sound and methodical manner.
Introducing BackQuant's Two Pole Butterworth For Loop (2P BW FL) — an advanced indicator that fuses the power of the Two Pole Butterworth filter with a dynamic for-loop scoring mechanism. This unique approach is designed to extract actionable trading signals by smoothing out price data and then analyzing it using a comparative scoring method. Let's delve into how this indicator works, why it was created, and how it can be used in various trading scenarios.
Understanding the Two Pole Butterworth Filter
The Butterworth filter is a signal processing tool known for its smooth response and minimal distortion. It's often used in electronic and communication systems to filter out unwanted noise. In trading, the Butterworth filter can be applied to price data to smooth out the volatility, providing traders with a clearer view of underlying trends without the whipsaws often associated with market noise.
The Two Pole Butterworth variant further enhances this effect by applying the filter with two poles, effectively creating a sharper transition between the passband and stopband. In simple terms, this allows the filter to follow the price action more closely, reacting to changes while maintaining smoothness.
In this script, the Two Pole Butterworth filter is applied to the Calculation Source (default is set to the closing price), creating a smoothed price series that serves as the foundation for further analysis.
Why Use a Two Pole Butterworth Filter?
The Two Pole Butterworth filter is chosen for its ability to reduce lag while maintaining a smooth output. This makes it an ideal choice for traders who want to capture trends without being misled by short-term volatility or market noise. By filtering the price data, the Two Pole Butterworth enables traders to focus on the broader market movements and avoid false signals.
The For-Loop Scoring Mechanism
In addition to the Butterworth filter, this script uses a for-loop scoring system to evaluate the smoothed price data. The for-loop compares the current value of the filtered price (referred to as "subject") to previous values over a defined range (set by the start and end input). The score is calculated based on whether the subject is higher or lower than the previous points, and the cumulative score is used to determine the strength of the trend.
Long and Short Signal Logic
Long Signals: A long signal is triggered when the score surpasses the Long Threshold (default set at 40). This suggests that the price has built sufficient upward momentum, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
Short Signals: A short signal is triggered when the score crosses under the Short Threshold (default set at -10). This indicates weakening price action or a potential downtrend, signaling a possible selling or shorting opportunity.
By utilizing this scoring system, the indicator identifies moments when the price momentum is shifting, helping traders enter positions at opportune times.
Customization and Visualization Options
One of the strengths of this indicator is its flexibility. Traders can customize various settings to fit their personal trading style or adapt it to different markets and timeframes:
Calculation Periods: Adjust the lookback period for the Butterworth filter, allowing for shorter or longer smoothing depending on the desired sensitivity.
Threshold Levels: Set the long and short thresholds to define when signals should be triggered, giving you control over the balance between sensitivity and specificity.
Signal Line Width and Colors: Customize the visual presentation of the indicator on the chart, including the width of the signal line and the colors used for long and short conditions.
Candlestick and Background Colors: If desired, the indicator can color the candlesticks or the background according to the detected trend, offering additional clarity at a glance.
Trading Applications
This Two Pole Butterworth For Loop indicator is versatile and can be adapted to various market conditions and trading strategies. Here are a few use cases where this indicator shines:
Trend Following: The Butterworth filter smooths the price data, making it easier to follow trends and identify when they are gaining or losing strength. The for-loop scoring system enhances this by providing a clear indication of how strong the current trend is compared to recent history.
Mean Reversion: For traders looking to identify potential reversals, the indicator’s ability to compare the filtered price to previous values over a range of periods allows it to spot moments when the trend may be losing steam, potentially signaling a reversal.
Swing Trading: The combination of smoothing and scoring allows swing traders to capture short to medium-term price movements by filtering out the noise and focusing on significant shifts in momentum.
Risk Management: By providing clear long and short signals, this indicator helps traders manage their risk by offering well-defined entry and exit points. The smooth nature of the Butterworth filter also reduces the risk of getting caught in false signals due to market noise.
Final Thoughts
The Two Pole Butterworth For Loop indicator offers traders a powerful combination of smoothing and scoring to detect meaningful trends and shifts in price momentum. Whether you are a trend follower, swing trader, or someone looking to refine your entry and exit points, this indicator provides the tools to make more informed trading decisions.
As always, it's essential to backtest the indicator on historical data and tailor the settings to your specific trading style and market. While the Butterworth filter helps reduce noise and smooth trends, no indicator can predict the future with absolute certainty, so it should be used in conjunction with other tools and sound risk management practices.

⚙️ How It Works:
This script integrates SuperTrend with volatility clustering by analyzing ATR (Average True Range) to dynamically identify high, medium, and low volatility clusters using a K-Means algorithm . The SuperTrend logic adjusts based on the assigned volatility level, creating adaptive trend signals. These signals are then smoothed and optionally normalized for clearer visual interpretation. The Heiken Ashi transformation adds an additional layer of smoothing, helping traders better identify the market's true momentum. Alerts are set to notify users of key trend shifts and volatility changes, allowing traders to react promptly.
