Advanced HMM - 3 States CompleteHidden Markov Model
Aconsistent challenge for quantitative traders is the frequent behaviour modification of financial
markets, often abruptly, due to changing periods of government policy, regulatory environment
and other macroeconomic effects. Such periods are known as market regimes. Detecting such
changes is a common, albeit difficult, process undertaken by quantitative market participants.
These various regimes lead to adjustments of asset returns via shifts in their means, variances,
autocorrelation and covariances. This impacts the effectiveness of time series methods that rely
on stationarity. In particular it can lead to dynamically-varying correlation, excess kurtosis ("fat
tails"), heteroskedasticity (volatility clustering) and skewed returns.
There is a clear need to effectively detect these regimes. This aids optimal deployment of
quantitative trading strategies and tuning the parameters within them. The modeling task then
becomes an attempt to identify when a new regime has occurred adjusting strategy deployment,
risk management and position sizing criteria accordingly.
A principal method for carrying out regime detection is to use a statistical time series tech
nique known as a Hidden Markov Model . These models are well-suited to the task since they
involve inference on "hidden" generative processes via "noisy" indirect observations correlated
to these processes. In this instance the hidden, or latent, process is the underlying regime state,
while the asset returns are the indirect noisy observations that are influenced by these states.

💬 Note
This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals. It’s a visual and analytical tool built to support your own decision-making process.
Metallic Retracement ToolI made a version of the Metallic Retracement script where instead of using automatic zig-zag detection, you get to place the points manually. When you add it to the chart, it prompts you to click on two points. These two points become your swing range, and the indicator calculates all the metallic retracement levels from there and plots them on your chart. You can drag the points around afterwards to adjust the range, or just add the indicator to the chart again to place a completely new set of points.
The mathematical foundation is identical to the original Metallic Retracement indicator. You're still working with metallic means, which are the sequence of constants that generalize the golden ratio through the equation x² = kx + 1. When k equals 1, you get the golden ratio. When k equals 2, you get silver. Bronze is 3, and so on forever. Each metallic number generates its own set of retracement ratios by raising alpha to various negative powers, where alpha equals (k + sqrt(k² + 4)) / 2. The script algorithmically calculates these levels instead of hardcoding them, which means you can pick any metallic number you want and instantly get its complete retracement sequence.
What's different here is the control. Automatic zig-zag detection is useful when you want the indicator to find swings for you, but sometimes you have a specific price range in mind that doesn't line up with what the zig-zag algorithm considers significant. Maybe you're analyzing a move that's still developing and hasn't triggered the zig-zag's reversal thresholds yet. Maybe you want to measure retracements from an arbitrary high to an arbitrary low that happened weeks apart with tons of noise in between. Manual placement lets you define exactly which two points matter for your analysis without fighting with sensitivity settings or waiting for confirmation.
The interactive placement system uses TradingView's built-in drawing tools, so clicking the two points feels natural and works the same way as drawing a trendline or fibonacci retracement. First click sets your starting point, second click sets your ending point, and the indicator immediately calculates the range and draws all the metallic levels extending from whichever point you chose as the origin. If you picked a swing low and then a swing high, you get retracement levels projecting upward. If you went from high to low, they project downward.
Moving the points after placement is as simple as grabbing one of them and dragging it to a new location. The retracement levels recalculate in real-time as you move the anchor points, which makes it easy to experiment with different range definitions and see how the levels shift. This is particularly useful when you're trying to figure out which swing points produce retracement levels that line up with other technical features like previous support or resistance zones. You can slide the points around until you find a configuration that makes sense for your analysis.
Adding the indicator to the chart multiple times lets you compare different metallic means on the same price range, or analyze multiple ranges simultaneously with different metallic numbers. You could have golden ratio retracements on one major swing and silver ratio retracements on a smaller correction within that swing. Since each instance of the indicator is independent, you can mix and match metallic numbers and ranges however you want without one interfering with the other.
The settings work the same way as the original script. You select which metallic number to use, control how many power ratios to display above and below the 1.0 level, and adjust how many complete retracement cycles you want drawn. The levels extend from your manually placed swing points just like they would from automatically detected pivots, showing you where price might react based on whichever metallic mean you've selected.
What this version emphasizes is that retracement analysis is subjective in terms of which swing points you consider significant. Automatic detection algorithms make assumptions about what constitutes a meaningful reversal, but those assumptions don't always match your interpretation of the price action. By giving you manual control over point placement, this tool lets you apply metallic retracement concepts to exactly the price ranges you care about, without requiring those ranges to fit someone else's definition of a valid swing. You define the context, the indicator provides the mathematical framework.
DCA Percent SignalOverview
The DCA Percent Signal Indicator generates buy and sell signals based on percentage drops from all-time highs and percentage gains from lowest lows since ATH. This indicator is designed for pyramiding strategies where each signal represents a configurable percentage of equity allocation.
Definitions
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): An investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of price fluctuations. This indicator generates signals for a DCA-style pyramiding approach.
Gann Bar Types: Classification system for price bars based on their relationship to the previous bar:
Up Bar: High > previous high AND low ≥ previous low
Down Bar: High ≤ previous high AND low < previous low
Inside Bar: High ≤ previous high AND low ≥ previous low
Outside Bar: High > previous high AND low < previous low
ATH (All-Time High): The highest price level reached during the entire chart period
ATL (All-Time Low): The lowest price level reached since the most recent ATH
Pyramiding: A trading strategy that adds to positions on favorable price movements
Look-Ahead Bias: Using future information that wouldn't be available in real-time trading
Default Properties
Signal Thresholds:
Buy Threshold: 10% (triggers every 10% drop from ATH)
Sell Threshold: 30% (triggers every 30% gain from lowest low since ATH)
Price Sources:
ATH Tracking: High (ATH detection)
ATL Tracking: Low (low detection)
Buy Signal Source: Low (buy signals)
Sell Signal Source: High (sell signals)
Filter Options:
Apply Gann Filter: False (disabled by default)
Buy Sets ATL: False (disabled by default)
Display Options:
Show Buy/Sell Signals: True
Show Reference Lines: True
Show Info Table: False
Show Bar Type: False
How It Works
Buy Signals: Trigger every 10% drop from the all-time highest price reached
Sell Signals: Trigger every 30% increase from the lowest low since the most recent all-time high
Smart Tracking: Uses configurable price sources for signal generation
Key Features
Configurable Thresholds: Adjustable buy/sell percentage thresholds (default: 10%/30%)
Separate Price Sources: Independent sources for ATH tracking, ATL tracking, and signal triggers
Configurable Signals: Uses low for buy signals and high for sell signals by default
Optional Gann Filter: Apply Gann bar analysis for additional signal filtering
Optional Buy Sets ATL: Option to set ATL reference point when buy signals occur
Visual Debug: Detailed labels showing signal parameters and values
Usage Instructions
Apply to Chart: Use on any timeframe (recommended: 1D or higher for better signal quality)
Risk Management: Adjust thresholds based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Signal Analysis: Monitor debug labels for detailed signal information and validation
Signal Logic
Buy signals are blocked when ATH increases to prevent buying at peaks
Sell signals are blocked when ATL decreases to prevent selling at lows
This ensures signals only trigger on subsequent bars, not the same bar that establishes new reference points
Buy Signals:
Calculate drop percentage from ATH to buy signal source
Trigger when drop reaches threshold increments (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.)
Always blocked on ATH bars to prevent buying at peaks
Optional: Also blocked on up/outside bars when Gann filter enabled
Sell Signals:
Calculate gain percentage from lowest low to sell signal source
Trigger when gain reaches threshold increments (30%, 60%, 90%, etc.)
Always blocked when ATL decreases to prevent selling at lows
Optional: Also blocked on down bars when Gann filter enabled
Limitations
Designed for trending markets; may generate many signals in sideways/ranging markets
Requires sufficient price movement to be effective
Not suitable for scalping or very short timeframes
Implementation Notes
Signals use optimistic price sources (low for buys, high for sells), these can be configured to be more conservative
Gann filter provides additional signal filtering based on bar types
Debug information available in data window for real-time analysis
Detailed labels on each signal show ATH, lowest low, buy level, sell level, and drop/gain percentages

Hyper SAR Reactor Trend StrategyHyperSAR Reactor Adaptive PSAR Strategy
Summary
Adaptive Parabolic SAR strategy for liquid stocks, ETFs, futures, and crypto across intraday to daily timeframes. It acts only when an adaptive trail flips and confirmation gates agree. Originality comes from a logistic boost of the SAR acceleration using drift versus ATR, plus ATR hysteresis, inertia on the trail, and a bear-only gate for shorts. Add to a clean chart and run on bar close for conservative alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: large cap equities and ETFs, index futures, major FX, liquid crypto
• Timeframes: one minute to daily
• Default demo: BTC on 60 minute
• Purpose: faster yet calmer PSAR that resists chop and improves short discipline
• Limits: this is a strategy that places simulated orders on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Novel fusion: PSAR AF is boosted by a logistic function of normalized drift, trail is monotone with inertia, entries use ATR buffers and optional cooldown, shorts are allowed only in a bear bias
• Addresses false flips in low volatility and weak downtrends
• All controls are exposed in Inputs for testability
• Yardstick: ATR normalizes drift so settings port across symbols
• Open source. No links. No solicitation
Method overview
Components
• Adaptive AF: base step plus boost factor times logistic strength
• Trail inertia: one sided blend that keeps the SAR monotone
• Flip hysteresis: price must clear SAR by a buffer times ATR
• Volatility gate: ATR over its mean must exceed a ratio
• Bear bias for shorts: price below EMA of length 91 with negative slope window 54
• Cooldown bars optional after any entry
• Visual SAR smoothing is cosmetic and does not drive orders
Fusion rule
Entry requires the internal flip plus all enabled gates. No weighted scores.
Signal rule
• Long when trend flips up and close is above SAR plus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Short when trend flips down and close is below SAR minus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Exit uses SAR as stop and optional ATR take profit per side

Economic Cycle Signal (USA)📊 Economic Cycle Signal (USA)
This indicator overlays both the U.S. Federal Reserve Funds Rate (Fed Funds) and the U.S. Inflation Rate YoY directly onto your stock market chart (e.g., S&P 500). It visually connects monetary policy and inflation dynamics with equity market performance, helping traders and analysts understand how macroeconomic shifts impact risk assets.
🔹 Key Features
• Plots the monthly U.S. Fed Funds Rate alongside your chart.
• Overlays the U.S. Inflation Rate YoY, offering a direct and realistic view of inflation pressure instead of CPI.
• Shades the background to reflect different economic cycle phases (recovery, recession, expansion, late cycle).
• Highlights how the stock market reacts during shifting monetary and inflationary conditions.
• Provides a clear traffic-light style signal for quick macro interpretation.
• Now includes dynamic inflation color logic based on the Fed’s 2% target and 5% threshold (explained below).
🔹 Inflation Line Color Logic (New)
The inflation line now changes color dynamically to show whether inflation is within or outside the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone, and whether it’s rising or falling:
Inflation Condition Interpretation Line Color
Inflation > 5% and Rising Inflation overheating (well above target) 🔴 Red
Inflation > 5% and Falling Cooling off from high levels 💚 Lime
Inflation < 5% and Falling Disinflation / stable price environment 🟢 Green
Inflation < 5% and Rising Early inflation rebound 🟡 Yellow
This color-coded logic mirrors the interest rate phase colors, giving traders an instant visual cue about inflationary pressure and possible policy turning points.
🔹 How Traders & Analysts Can Use It
• Visualize the interaction between U.S. monetary policy and inflation cycles in real time.
• Identify historically supportive phases when low or easing rates follow moderate inflation.
• Detect tightening cycles when inflation spikes first and the Fed reacts, signaling potential equity headwinds.
• Use as a macro compass to anticipate inflation pressure, policy changes, and market regime shifts.
• Combine with technical analysis, fundamentals, or leading indicators for deeper macro insights.
🔹 Color Legend (Economic Phases)
🟩 Light Green → Recovery (Early Cycle)
• Rates: low or falling
• Inflation: low/stable
🟩 Green → Recession (Down Cycle)
• Rates: cut aggressively
• Inflation: falling
🟨 Yellow → Expansion (Mid Cycle)
• Rates: rising gradually
• Inflation: moderate
🟥 Red → Overheating (Late Cycle)
• Rates: high / rising fast
• Inflation: high
🔹 Inflation Context
• Inflation typically leads the policy rate cycle, offering early insight into future Fed actions.
• The U.S. Inflation Rate YoY provides a direct measure of consumer price changes compared to the same month last year — a clearer gauge of inflation pressure than CPI.
• The new color logic helps visualize whether inflation is accelerating or cooling, relative to the Fed’s 2% target and 5% upper threshold.
• This dual-overlay makes it easy to interpret the cause (inflation) and effect (interest rate policy) in one synchronized chart.

ATR Gauge - Audiophile StyleThe ATR Gauge - Audiophile Style indicator is a custom visualization tool. It's designed to give you a quick, retro-inspired snapshot of market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) metric. Think of it as a dashboard widget styled like the VU meters on old-school audiophile equipment (e.g., vintage stereo amps from brands like McIntosh or Marantz)—simple, elegant, and functional. It sits in one of the corners of your chart and helps you gauge how "hot" or "cool" the current price action is compared to recent levels.
Why This Gauge?: Standard ATR plots as a line on your chart, but this turns it into a visual "meter" focused on the last 24 hours. It's like a speedometer for volatility—quick to read at a glance. Useful for day traders, scalpers, or anyone monitoring intraday risk without cluttering the main chart.
Trade Price - Spread Compensator OverlayDescription:
This indicator provides a clear visual representation of the bid/ask price spread. It allows traders to account for the difference between displayed chart prices and actual trading prices by offsetting candles by a specified number of pips.
Simply input the appropriate decimal unit that matches your instrument’s price format, then set the number of pips you wish to offset to reflect your typical spread.
For best results, use the Style settings to match the overlay candle colors with your chart’s default candles—this creates a seamless, integrated appearance.
The sell-stop drawings depicted in the chart example are there to help understand how to use this for managing your entry/stop loss position. It is not a part of the indicator, only the orange candle overlay is.

Each line shows a customizable label (e.g., "Tokyo", "London")
Individual time and color settings for each line
UTC offset for each line to handle Daylight Saving Time
Option to fix all labels at a specific price level for cleaner appearance (need to set and save it for each chart, it becomes a mess if you don't). Default behavior and limit of Pine Script is that it will be attached to the price wick.
Default Sessions:
Tokyo: 00:00 UTC (midnight)
Shanghai/HK: 01:30 UTC
London: 08:00 UTC (winter) - adjust offset to +1 for summer
New York: 13:00 UTC (winter) - adjust offset to -4 for summer
DST Adjustments:
Simply change the UTC offset when daylight saving time begins/ends:
London: 0 (winter) or +1 (summer)
New York: -5 (winter) or -4 (summer)
Lines extend from top to bottom of the chart and appear precisely when each session opens.
My preferred configuration: shorten names and reduce opacity of colors to 20-30%.

Volume Surprise [LuxAlgo]The Volume Surprise tool displays the trading volume alongside the expected volume at that time, allowing users to spot unexpected trading activity on the chart easily.
The tool includes an extrapolation of the estimated volume for future periods, allowing forecasting future trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
We define Volume Surprise as a situation where the actual trading volume deviates significantly from its expected value at a given time.
Being able to determine if trading activity is higher or lower than expected allows us to precisely gauge the interest of market participants in specific trends.
A histogram constructed from the difference between the volume and expected volume is provided to easily highlight the difference between the two and may be used as a standalone.
The tool can also help quantify the impact of specific market events, such as news about an instrument. For example, an important announcement leading to volume below expectations might be a sign of market participants underestimating the impact of the announcement.
Like in the example above, it is possible to observe cases where the volume significantly differs from the expected one, which might be interpreted as an anomaly leading to a correction.
🔹 Detecting Rare Trading Activity
Expected volume is defined as the mean (or median if we want to limit the impact of outliers) of the volume grouped at a specific point in time. This value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
However, it is possible to adjust the indicator to overestimate/underestimate expected volume, allowing for highlighting excessively high or low volume at specific times.
In order to do this, select "Percentiles" as the summary method, and change the percentiles value to a value that is close to 100 (overestimate expected volume) or to 0 (underestimate expected volume).
In the example above, we are only interested in detecting volume that is excessively high, we use the 95th percentile to do so, effectively highlighting when volume is higher than 95% of the volumes recorded at that time.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Choosing the Right Periods
Our expected volume value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
For example, if only the hourly period is selected, volumes are grouped by their respective hours. As such, to get the expected volume for the hour 7 PM, we collect and group the historical volumes that occurred at 7 PM and average them to get our expected value at that time.
Users are not limited to selecting a single period, and can group volume using a combination of all the available periods.
Do note that when on lower timeframes, only having higher periods will lead to less precise expected values. Enabling periods that are too low might prevent grouping. Finally, enabling a lot of periods will, on the other hand, lead to a lot of groups, preventing the ability to get effective expected values.
In order to avoid changing periods by navigating across multiple timeframes, an "Auto Selection" setting is provided.
🔹 Group Length
The length setting allows controlling the maximum size of a volume group. Using higher lengths will provide an expected value on more historical data, further highlighting recurring patterns.
🔹 Recommended Assets
Obtaining the expected volume for a specific period (time of the day, day of the week, quarter, etc) is most effective when on assets showing higher signs of periodicity in their trading activity.
This is visible on stocks, futures, and forex pairs, which tend to have a defined, recognizable interval with usually higher trading activity.
Assets such as cryptocurrencies will usually not have a clearly defined periodic trading activity, which lowers the validity of forecasts produced by the tool, as well as any conclusions originating from the volume to expected volume comparisons.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Maximum number of records in a volume group for a specific period. Older values are discarded.
Smooth: Period of a SMA used to smooth volume. The smoothing affects the expected value.
🔹 Periods
Auto Selection: Automatically choose a practical combination of periods based on the chart timeframe.
Custom periods can be used if disabling "Auto Selection". Available periods include:
- Minutes
- Hours
- Days (can be: Day of Week, Day of Month, Day of Year)
- Months
- Quarters
🔹 Summary
Method: Method used to obtain the expected value. Options include Mean (default) or Percentile.
Percentile: Percentile number used if "Method" is set to "Percentile". A value of 50 will effectively use a median for the expected value.
🔹 Forecast
Forecast Window: Number of bars ahead for which the expected volume is predicted.
Style: Style settings of the forecast.
Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP [CHE] Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP — Detects body-based pivot regimes to classify swing highs and lows, anchoring volume-weighted average price lines directly at higher highs and lower lows for adaptive reference levels.
Summary
This indicator identifies shifts between top and bottom regimes through breakouts in candle body highs and lows, labeling swing points as higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. It then draws anchored volume-weighted average price lines starting from the most recent higher high and lower low, providing dynamic support and resistance that evolve with volume flow. These anchored lines differ from standard volume-weighted averages by resetting only at confirmed swing extremes, reducing noise in ranging markets while highlighting momentum shifts in trends.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often struggle with static reference lines that fail to adapt to changing market structures, leading to false breaks in volatile conditions or missed continuations in trends. By anchoring volume-weighted average price calculations to body pivot regimes—specifically at higher highs for resistance and lower lows for support—this design creates reference levels tied directly to price structure extremes. This approach addresses the problem of generic moving averages lagging behind swing confirmations, offering a more context-aware tool for intraday or swing trading.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Traditional volume-weighted average price indicators compute a running total from session start or fixed periods, often ignoring price structure.
- Architecture differences:
- Regime detection via body breakout logic switches between high and low focus dynamically.
- Anchoring limited to confirmed higher highs and lower lows, with historical recalculation for accurate line drawing.
- Polyline rendering rebuilds only on the last bar to manage performance.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more meaningful lines that start at swing points, making it easier to spot confluences with structure breaks rather than cluttered overlays from continuous calculations.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first calculates the maximum and minimum of each candle's open and close to define body highs and lows. It then scans a lookback window for the highest body high and lowest body low. A top regime triggers when the body high from the lookback period exceeds the window's highest, and a bottom regime when the body low falls below the window's lowest. These regime shifts confirm pivots only when crossing from one state to the other.
For top pivots, it compares the new body high against the previous swing high: if greater, it marks a higher high and anchors a new line; otherwise, a lower high. The same logic applies inversely for bottom pivots. Anchored lines use cumulative price-volume products and volumes from the anchor bar onward, subtracting prior cumulatives to isolate the segment. On pivot confirmation, it loops backward from the current bar to the anchor, computing and storing points for the line. New points append as bars advance, ensuring the line reflects ongoing volume weighting.
Initialization uses persistent variables to track the last swing values and anchor bars, starting with neutral states. Data flows from regime detection to pivot classification, then to anchoring and point accumulation, with lines rendered globally on the final bar.
Parameter Guide
Pivot Length — Controls the lookback window for detecting body breakouts, influencing pivot frequency and sensitivity to recent action. Shorter values catch more pivots in choppy conditions; longer smooths for major swings. Default: 30 (bars). Trade-offs/Tips: Min 1; for intraday, try 10–20 to reduce lag but watch for noise; on daily, 50+ for stability.
Show Pivot Labels — Toggles display of text markers at swing points, aiding quick identification of higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to declutter; useful for backtesting structure.
HH Color — Sets the line and label color for higher high anchored lines, distinguishing resistance levels. Default: Red (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: Choose contrasting hues for dark/light themes; pair with opacity for fills if added later.
LL Color — Sets the line and label color for lower low anchored lines, distinguishing support levels. Default: Lime (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: As above; green shades work well for bullish contexts without overpowering candles.
Reading & Interpretation
Higher high labels and red lines indicate potential resistance zones where volume weighting begins at a new swing top, suggesting sellers may defend prior highs. Lower low labels and lime lines mark support from a fresh swing bottom, with the line's slope reflecting buyer commitment via volume. Lower highs or higher lows appear as labels without new anchors, signaling possible range-bound action. Line proximity to price shows overextension; crosses may hint at regime shifts, but confirm with volume spikes.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs above a rising lower low anchored line after higher low confirmation; filter with rising higher highs for uptrends. Use line breaks as trailing stops.
- Exits/Stops: In downtrends, exit shorts below a higher high line; set aggressive stops above it for scalps, conservative below for swings. Pair with momentum oscillators for divergence.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; on crypto 15M, shorten length to 15. Scale colors for dark themes; combine with higher timeframe anchors for confluence.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures pivots confirm after the lookback period, with no repainting on historical bars—live bars may adjust until regime shift. No higher timeframe calls, so minimal repaint risk beyond standard delays. Resources include a 2000-bar history limit, label/polyline caps at 200/50, and loops for historical point filling (up to current bar count from anchor, typically under 500 iterations). Known limits: In extreme gaps or low-volume periods, anchors may skew; lines absent until first pivots.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the 30-bar length for balanced pivot detection across most assets. For too-frequent pivots in ranges, increase to 50 for fewer signals. If lines lag in trends, reduce to 20 and enable labels for visual cues. In low-volatility assets, widen color contrasts; test on 100-bar history to verify stability.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a structure-aware visualization layer for anchoring volume-weighted references at swing extremes, enhancing manual analysis of regimes and levels. It is not a standalone signal generator or predictive model—always integrate with broader context like order flow or news. Use alongside risk management and position sizing, not as isolated buy/sell triggers.
Many thanks to LuxAlgo for the original script "McDonald's Pattern ". The implementation for body pivots instead of wicks uses a = max(open, close), b = min(open, close) and then highest(a, length) / lowest(b, length). This filters noise from the wicks and detects breakouts over/under bodies. Unusual and targeted, super innovative.

RSI Colored by Relative StrengthThis indicator enhances the traditional RSI by combining it with Relative Strength (RS) — the ratio of an asset’s price to a chosen benchmark (e.g., SPY, QQQ, BTCUSD) — to create a more accurate, powerful, and dynamic momentum confirmation tool.
Instead of relying solely on RSI’s internal momentum, this version color-codes RSI values and backgrounds based on whether the asset is outperforming, underperforming, or neutral relative to the benchmark, not only identifying the RSI value, but color codes it in relation to the overall market to give more accurate confirmations.
• RS > 1 → The asset is outperforming the benchmark (relative strength).
• RS < 1 → The asset is underperforming.
• RS ≈ 1 → Neutral or moving in sync with the benchmark.
Gradient background zones:
• Green tones = outperformance (RS > 1).
• Red tones = underperformance (RS < 1).
• Gray neutral band = parity (RS ≈ 1).
Intensity adjusts dynamically based on how far RS deviates from 1, giving an at-a-glance view of market leadership strength.
• Color-coded RSI line: Green when RS > 1, red when RS < 1.
• Optional markers and labels show confirmed RS+RSI crossovers with smart spacing to prevent clutter.
• Alerts included for bullish and bearish RS+RSI alignment events.
How to Use
1. Add your preferred benchmark symbol (default: SPY).
2. Move this indicator into the same pane as your RSI (No need to overlay, does so automatically) and can also be used standalone.
3. Watch for:
• Green RSI & background: Significant momentum strength (asset trending upward and outpacing the market).
• Red RSI & background: False or insignificant momentum (asset lagging).
• Gray zone: neutral phase — consolidation or rotation period.
Use this as a trend-confirmation filter rather than a signal generator.
For example:
• Confirm and refine breakout entries when RS > 1 (RSI support = stronger conviction).
• Take profits when RSI weakens and RS slips below 1.
Custom Net ATR Mapping - NateThis indicator measures how much an asset actually moves — both on average and across full periods — so traders can compare short-term volatility with longer-term net momentum.
It displays four key metrics in a simple color-coded table:
Standard ATR – the average daily (or per-bar) range, showing typical volatility.
Net ATR – the average open-to-close move, revealing how much price tends to travel directionally within each bar.
Total Net Move – the total distance price has moved from the start to the end of the most recent measurement window.
Average Net Move – the typical size of that full-period move, averaged across multiple recent windows.
Together these readings help you see whether recent price action is choppy but contained (high ATR, low net move) or sustained and directional (high net move relative to ATR) — useful for spotting trend strength, breakout potential, or range-bound conditions.
4-Hour Range Scalping [v6.3]User Guide: 4-Hour Range Scalping Strategy
Hello! Here is the guide for the Pine Script strategy. Please read it carefully to get the best results.
📈 This script automates the "4-Hour Range Scalping Strategy" from the video.
The main idea is that the first four hours of a major trading day (like New York) set up a "trap zone." The strategy waits for the price to break out of this zone and then fail, giving us a signal that the breakout was false and the price is likely to reverse.
Here’s the simple logic:
Define the Range: It precisely calculates the highest high and lowest low during the first four hours of the selected trading session (e.g., 00:00 to 04:00 New York Time).
Wait for a Breakout: It then monitors the 5-minute chart for a price breakout where a candle fully closes outside of this established range.
Identify the Reversal: The trade trigger occurs when the price fails to continue its breakout and a subsequent 5-minute candle closes back inside the range. This signals a potential reversal or "failed breakout."
Execute the Trade:
]A Short (Sell) trade is triggered after a failed breakout above the range high.
A Long (Buy) trade is triggered after a failed breakout below the range low.
Manage the Risk: The Stop Loss is automatically placed at the peak (for shorts) or trough (for longs) of the breakout move, and the Take Profit is set to a default 2:1 Risk/Reward Ratio.
How to Use the Script (Step-by-Step) ⚙️
Follow these instructions to get it running perfectly.
1. Set Your Chart Timeframe This is the most important step. The strategy is designed to run on a 5-minute (5m) chart. Open your TradingView chart and make sure the timeframe is set to "5m".
2. Add the Script to Your Chart Open the Pine Editor tab at the bottom of TradingView, paste the entire script, and click the "Add to chart" button.
3. Configure the Settings On your chart, find the strategy's name (e.g., "4-Hour Range Scalping ") and click the gear icon ⚙️ to open its settings.
Trading Session: Choose the session for the range. New York is the default and the one from the video.
Risk/Reward Ratio: The default is 2.0, meaning your potential profit is twice your potential loss. You can adjust this to test other targets.
Backtesting Period: To see how the strategy performed on all historical data, go to the "Strategy Tester" panel, click its own gear icon ⚙️, and uncheck the boxes for "Start Date" and "End Date."
4. Understand the Visuals on Your Chart
Blue Background Area: This is the 4-hour calculation window. The script is identifying the day's high and low during this time. No trades will ever happen here.
Red Line (Range High): The highest price of the 4-hour window. This is the upper boundary of the "trap zone."
Green Line (Range Low): The lowest price of the 4-hour window. This is the lower boundary.
Green Triangle (▲): Shows where a Long (Buy) trade was entered.
Red Triangle (▼): Shows where a Short (Sell) trade was entered.
A Very Important Note on Timezones 🕒
This is critical for you in the Philippines (PHT).
The script is based on the New York session, which is 12 hours behind you. Your TradingView chart will still show your local time, but the script works on NY time in the background.
The New York "day" begins at 12:00 PM (Noon) your time.
The script's blue calculation window will be from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM your local time.
The red and green range lines will appear on your chart only after 4:00 PM your time.
So, if you look at your chart in the morning or early afternoon, you will not see today's range yet. This is normal! The script is just waiting for the New York session to start.
How to Set Up Trade Alerts 🔔
You can have TradingView send you a notification whenever the script enters a trade.
Click the "Alert" button (looks like a clock) in the right-hand toolbar of TradingView.
In the "Condition" dropdown, select the name of the script (e.g., "4-Hour Range Scalping...").
You will then see two options: "Long Signal" and "Short Signal".
Select one (e.g., "Long Signal") and configure how you want to be notified (e.g., "Notify on app").
Click "Create". Repeat the process to create an alert for the other signal.

Turtle soupHi all!
This indicator will show you turtle soups. The logic is that pivots detected from a higher timeframe, with the pivot lengths of left and right in the settings, will be up for 'grabs' by price that spents more than one candle above/below the pivot.
If only one candle is beyond the pivot it's a liquidity sweep or grab. Liquidity sweeps can be discovered through my script 'Market structure' (), but this script will discover turtle soup entries with false breakouts that takes liquidity.
The turtle soup can have a confirmation in the terms of a change of character (CHoCH). The turtle soup strategy usually comes with some sort of confirmation, in this case a CHoCH, but it can also be a market structure shift (MSS) or a change in state of delivery (CISD).
Turtle soups (pivots that have been 'taken') within a turtle soup will also be visible (but not have a turtle).
Alerts are available for when a turtle soup setup occurs and you can set the alert frequency of your liking (to get early signals with a script that might repaint or wait for a closed candle).
I hope that this description makes sense, tell me otherwise. Also tell me if you have any improvements or feature requests.
Best of trading luck!
The chart in the publication contains a 4 hour chart with a daily timeframe and confirmations with CHoCH.
USD Session 8FX - LDN & NY (TF-invariant, Live + Table)What it is
A USD strength/weakness meter for the London (08:00–08:45) or New York (15:30–16:00/16:15) session. It blends the movement of 8 markets—EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, USDJPY, XAUUSD—into one Score that is timeframe-invariant (it uses a 1-minute “boundary TF” under the hood so changing chart TF doesn’t change the math).
Core logic (simple)
During the chosen session window, it records each symbol’s start and live end prices, computes returns, optionally normalizes by ATR (volatility), applies your weights, and averages anti-USD (EUR/GBP/AUD/NZD/XAU) vs USD-base (CHF/CAD/JPY) groups.
The final Score is the normalized sum of weighted contributions:
Score > 0 → “USD Strong”
Score < 0 → “USD Weak”
At the session close it freezes (“Locked”) the results so you can review them later.
What you see
Main plot: the USD Score line (with a 0 baseline).
Optional lines: Anti-USD average vs USD-base average (post-normalization, pre-weights).
Session background shading (London silver, New York aqua).
Live table with:
Each symbol’s % change, its weight, and its contribution to the Score.
TOP badges for the two biggest drivers (by absolute contribution).
A Side column (only for the two TOPs) showing BUY/SELL aligned with the USD verdict (e.g., if USD Strong → SELL anti-USD pairs like EURUSD, BUY USD-base like USDCHF).
Verdict row with USD Strong/Weak, the Score value, the window text, and whether you’re LIVE / CLOSED / FROZEN.
Trade Gate panel:
Shows Verdict (USD Strong/Weak), Bias OK/weak (|Score| vs your threshold), Top-1/Top-2 VWAP checks, an overall GATE: OK/NO, and an Entry hint string (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) when conditions align.
VWAP “Trade Gate”
It confirms alignment between the USD bias and price vs VWAP for the top movers:
If USD Strong: anti-USD symbols should be below VWAP (short bias), USD-base symbols above VWAP (long bias).
If USD Weak: the opposite.
Gate = OK only if |Score| ≥ minAbsScore and at least one of the two TOP symbols is on the correct side of VWAP.
Tip: set vwapTF to an intraday value (“1”, “5”, “15”) for reliable VWAP on higher-TF charts.
Alerts
At session close: “USD Strong/Weak – session close”.
Live threshold: alerts when |Score| crosses your intraday threshold up/down.
Entry hint (Gate OK): triggers when the Gate flips from NO → OK inside the window.
If you create an alert of type “Any alert() function call”, you also get a dynamic message like:
ENTRY HINT • Hint: SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF
Key inputs you can tweak
Session: London vs New York; NY end time 16:00 or 16:15.
Timezone: default Europe/Tirane.
Boundary TF: default “1” (keeps the indicator TF-invariant).
minAbsScore: sensitivity threshold for “Bias OK”.
ATR normalization (len): stabilizes comparisons across different volatility regimes.
VWAP settings: toggle panel and set vwapTF.
How to use (playbook)
Choose the session (e.g., New York 15:30–16:15), keep Boundary TF = 1.
If you’re on a higher-TF chart, set vwapTF = "1" or "5".
Watch Score and Verdict; when |Score| ≥ minAbsScore, bias is meaningful.
Check Top-1/Top-2 and the Trade Gate:
If Gate = OK, use the Entry hint (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) as the aligned idea.
Use your own execution rules (e.g., structure, risk, stops) on the suggested symbols.
After close, review the Frozen table to validate behavior and refine thresholds/weights.
Notes & edge cases
If some markets are illiquid/holiday, a few returns may be na; the script handles that gracefully.
If ta.vwap is na on high TFs, the Gate will simply not confirm—set vwapTF intraday.
You can customize weights (e.g., reduce XAUUSD to -0.3 or similar) to suit your basket philosophy.
If you want, I can add toggles to show Side for all 8 symbols, or print a one-line summary (e.g., “USD Strong • Score 0.23 • Gate OK • SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) in the top-left of the pane.
Previous TPOIndicator Summary
This Pine Script indicator, "Previous TPO," is designed to calculate and display five key price levels from the previous trading day's market activity. It uses a 30-minute TPO (Time Price Opportunity) profile, which is a method of organizing price by time to find areas of high and low activity.
The five levels it plots on the current day are:
1. Previous Value Area High (VAH)
2. Previous Value Area Low (VAL)
3. Previous Point of Control (POC)
4. Previous Initial Balance High (IBH)
5. Previous Initial Balance Low (IBL)
The script is built to be efficient, running its main calculation only once at the beginning of each new day. It also includes an automatic line management system to delete old lines, preventing the "Too many lines" error and keeping the chart clean.
How the Code Works
1. Data Collection: At the start of a new day (00:00), the script looks back at the chart's history. It uses request.security to access 30-minute bar data.
2. Collector Loop: It then loops backward, bar by bar, to find and store 48 unique 30-minute High/Low data points, which represents the full 24-hour range of the previous day.
3. TPO Profile: With this 30-minute data, it builds a TPO profile. It divides the previous day's price range into small bins (price levels) and counts how many 30-minute periods "touched" each price bin.
4. Level Calculation:
o POC: It finds the price bin with the highest TPO count (the most traded price) and sets it as the Point of Control.
o VAH/VAL: It starts at the POC and expands outward, adding the next-most-traded price bins until 70% (or the user-defined percentage) of the day's TPOs are included. The highest and lowest prices of this range are the Value Area High and Value Area Low.
o IBH/IBL: It identifies the high and low of the first hour (the first two 30-minute bars) of the previous day to set the Initial Balance High and Initial Balance Low.
5. Drawing: The script draws these five levels as horizontal lines across the current trading day, providing a constant reference.
6. Line Management: It keeps track of all lines in an array. When the total number of lines exceeds the user's limit (e.g., 50 days * 5 lines = 250), it automatically deletes the oldest lines from the chart.
Usefulness for Trading
This indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday traders by contextualizing the current day's price action against the previous day's "auction."
• Key Support/Resistance: The VAH, VAL, and POC act as significant support and resistance lev-els. Price reacting at these levels can signal mean reversion, while acceptance beyond them can signal a trend or expansion day.
• Value Area as Context: Trading inside the previous day's value area (between VAH and VAL) is often seen as "balanced" or "range-bound" trading. Trading outside of it is "unbalanced" or "trending."
• POC as a "Magnet": The POC, being the area of highest volume/time, often acts as a "magnet" or "center of gravity" for price.
• Opening Range: The Initial Balance (IB) levels show the opening range. A breakout from this range is often a key signal for the day's initial direction.
• 80% Rule: The script contains (currently commented-out) setup logic for the "80% Rule." This is a specific Market Profile strategy where:
1. The market opens inside the previous day's Value Area.
2. The Initial Balance fails to extend outside the VA (e.g., in a short setup, the IB high stays below the VAH).
3. This setup suggests an 80% probability that the price will rotate and test the other side of the Value Area (e.g., test the VAL).
Publication and restrictions
This script is published under the Mozilla Public Licence 2.0 (MPL 2.0) and is therefore suitable for publi-cation as an open source indicator on TradingView.
Timeframe limitation: The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes. Timeframes below 10 minutes do not work and lead to an error. Recommended time frame 30 minutes.
It will not work correctly on:
Time frame under 10 minutes: The data collection loop (max_bars_to_check = 3000) is not large enough to collect the bars required for a full day on a 5-minute chart or smaller.
High time frames (e.g. 1H, 4H, Daily): The script's logic is based on a chart timeframe 30-minute data that it requests. If higher time frames are selected, the script works but the zones are no longer correct or become irrelevant.
