Volume Order Blocks [BigBeluga]Volume Order Blocks is a powerful indicator that identifies significant order blocks based on price structure, helping traders spot key supply and demand zones. The tool leverages EMA crossovers to determine the formation of bullish and bearish order blocks while visualizing their associated volume and relative strength.
🔵 Key Features:
Order Block Detection via EMA Crossovers:
Plots bullish order blocks at recent lows when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA.
Plots bearish order blocks at recent highs when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA.
Uses customizable sensitivity through the “Sensitivity Detection” setting to fine-tune block formation.
Volume Collection and Visualization:
Calculates the total volume between the EMA crossover bar and the corresponding high (bearish OB) or low (bullish OB).
Displays the absolute volume amount next to each order block for clear volume insights.
Percentage Volume Distribution:
Shows the percentage distribution of volume among bullish or bearish order blocks.
100% represents the cumulative volume of all OBs in the same category (bullish or bearish).
Order Block Removal Conditions:
Bullish order blocks are removed when the price closes below the bottom of the block.
Bearish order blocks are removed when the price closes above the top of the block.
Helps maintain chart clarity by only displaying relevant and active levels.
Midline Feature:
Dashed midline inside each order block indicates the midpoint between the upper and lower boundaries.
Traders can toggle the midline on or off through the settings.
Shadow Trend:
Shadow Trend dynamically visualizes trend strength and direction by adapting its color intensity based on price movement.
🔵 Usage:
Supply & Demand Zones: Use bullish and bearish order blocks to identify key market reversal or continuation points.
Volume Strength Analysis: Compare volume percentages to gauge which order blocks hold stronger market significance.
Breakout Confirmation: Monitor block removal conditions for potential breakout signals beyond support or resistance zones.
Trend Reversals: Combine EMA crossovers with order block formation for early trend reversal detection.
Risk Management: Use OB boundaries as potential stop-loss or entry points.
Volume Order Blocks is an essential tool for traders seeking to incorporate volume-based supply and demand analysis into their trading strategy. By combining price action, volume data, and EMA crossovers, it offers a comprehensive view of market structure and potential turning points.

BCVC - Volume & Big Candle ColorThe BCVC (Volume & Big Candle Color) indicator helps traders identify significant price movements accompanied by unusual volume activity. By dynamically coloring bars based on volume spikes and candle size, it highlights potential momentum shifts, breakouts, or reversals. This tool is ideal for traders who want to:
Spot institutional buying/selling activity.
Confirm trend strength using volume and price volatility.
Filter noise by focusing on high-impact bars.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection:
Compares current volume to a moving average (EMA) of volume.
Highlights bars where volume exceeds the average by a user-defined multiplier.
Big Candle Detection:
Identifies bars with a range (high-low) larger than the historical average range (EMA of candle ranges).
Thresholds for "big candles" are customizable.
Color-Coded Logic:
White Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bullish (close > open).
Orange Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bearish (close < open).
Blue Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bullish.
Maroon Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bearish.
Input Parameters
Volume Settings:
Volume Period: EMA length for average volume calculation (default: 20).
Volume Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for volume spikes (e.g., 1.25 = 25% above average).
Candle Size Settings:
Lookback Period: EMA length for average candle range (default: 7).
Big Candle Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for large candles (e.g., 1.3 = 30% above average range).
How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates an EMA of volume over the specified period.
If the current bar’s volume exceeds Average Volume × Volume Multiplier, it’s flagged as a high-volume bar.
Candle Range Analysis:
The average candle range (high-low) is calculated using an EMA over the lookback period.
A "big candle" is identified when the current bar’s range exceeds Average Range × Big Candle Multiplier.
Combined Signals:
High-volume bars are colored based on whether they are bullish/bearish and whether their range exceeds the big-candle threshold.
Example: A white bar (high volume + big candle + bullish) suggests strong buying pressure with institutional participation.
Usage Scenarios
Breakout Confirmation: A white/orange bar at a support/resistance level may validate a breakout.
Reversal Signals: A maroon/orange bar after a long trend could indicate exhaustion and potential reversal.
Trend Strength: Clusters of blue/white bars during uptrends (or maroon/orange in downtrends) confirm momentum.
Benefits
Visual Clarity: Instantly spot high-impact bars without manually scanning volume or candle size.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust multipliers to filter noise (e.g., increase for fewer signals).
Universal Application: Works on all timeframes and instruments (stocks, forex, crypto).
Notes
Best Paired With: Trendlines, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI).
Avoid False Signals: Use higher multipliers (e.g., 1.5) on lower timeframes to reduce noise.

Trend Catcher SwiftEdgeTrend Catcher SwiftEdge
Overview
The Trend Catcher SwiftEdge is a simple yet effective tool designed to help traders identify potential trend directions using two Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). It plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of the chart, visually highlights trend conditions, and provides buy/sell labels to assist with trade entries. This indicator is best used as part of a broader trading strategy and should not be relied upon as a standalone signal generator.
How It Works
Two SMAs: The indicator calculates two SMAs: one based on the lowest price (Low) and one based on the highest price (High) over a user-defined period (default: 20).
Dynamic Colors:
Green: When the price is above both SMAs (indicating a potential uptrend).
Red: When the price is below both SMAs (indicating a potential downtrend).
Purple: When the price is between the SMAs (indicating consolidation).
The SMAs and the background between them change color dynamically to reflect the current trend condition.
Buy/Sell Labels:
A "Buy" label appears when an entire candlestick (including its low) crosses above both SMAs, marking the start of a potential uptrend.
A "Sell" label appears when an entire candlestick (including its high) crosses below both SMAs, marking the start of a potential downtrend.
To reduce noise, only one label is shown per trend direction. The indicator resets when the price enters the consolidation zone (purple), allowing for a new signal when the next trend begins.
Settings
SMA Length: Adjust the period of the SMAs (default: 20). A longer period smooths the SMAs and focuses on larger trends, while a shorter period makes the indicator more sensitive to price changes.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Look for "Buy" labels to consider potential long entries during uptrends (green zone).
Look for "Sell" labels to consider potential short entries during downtrends (red zone).
Use the purple consolidation zone to prepare for potential breakouts.
Always combine this indicator with other forms of analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume, or other indicators) to confirm signals.
Important Notes
This indicator is a tool to assist with identifying trend directions and potential entry points. It does not guarantee profits and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy.
False signals can occur, especially in choppy or ranging markets. Consider using additional filters or confirmations to improve reliability.
Backtest the indicator on your chosen market and timeframe to understand its behavior before using it in live trading.

Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an imbalance in price action that occurs when there is a strong displacement (big movement) in the market, leaving a gap between wicks. This gap represents an area where price moved too quickly, and liquidity was not fully filled.
Traders use FVGs as potential areas where price might retrace and react before continuing in the original direction.
Standard Deviation SMA RSI | mad_tiger_slayerOverview of the Script

Double Bollinger Bands MTF and Price projectionI did this script because I wanted to project prices over future bars quickly because I am a options trader.
Options:
Time frame: Default is Chart
Some times I prefer using 15 m with period 200 on a daily chart in a fast moving market. But you can chose what suites you
BB inner deviation 1 is default
When BB inner deviation=1 the outer will be 2X if its 0.5 outer will be 1
Moving Average type : Default EMA
Project next bar in label Default is off
This will calculate a linear projection of price of each band for the number of bars requested and print them in the label. It does not plot the future values
Using: in a trending market the prices will be generally be between band1 and band 2
and other times between -band1 and +band1. The projection can assist in optimal option strategy. Also in a fast moving market I would use 10 period ema for accurate price projections and others 20
EMA Clouds with Strict Buy/Sell SignalsEMA Clouds with Strict Buy/Sell Signals - Precision Trading Unleashed
Unlock the power of trend-following precision with the EMA Clouds with Strict Buy/Sell Signals indicator, a sophisticated tool built for traders who demand reliability and clarity in their decision-making. Inspired by the legendary Ripster EMA Clouds, this indicator takes the classic cloud concept to the next level by incorporating stricter, high-confidence signals—perfect for navigating the markets on 15-minute or higher timeframes.
Why You’ll Want This on Your Chart:
Dual EMA Clouds for Crystal-Clear Trends: Watch as two dynamic clouds—formed by carefully paired Exponential Moving Averages (8/21 and 34/50)—paint a vivid picture of market momentum. The green short-term cloud and red long-term cloud provide an intuitive, at-a-glance view of trend direction and strength.
Stricter Signals, Fewer False Moves: Tired of chasing weak signals? This indicator only triggers buy and sell signals when the stars align: a cloud crossover (short-term crossing above or below long-term) and price confirmation above or below both clouds. The result? Fewer trades, higher conviction, and a cleaner chart.
Customizable Timeframe Power: Whether you’re a scalper on the 15-minute chart or a swing trader on the daily, tailor the clouds to your preferred higher timeframe (15min, 30min, 1hr, 4hr, or daily) for seamless integration into your strategy.
Visual Mastery Meets Actionable Alerts: Green buy triangles below the bars and red sell triangles above them make spotting opportunities effortless. Pair this with built-in alerts, and you’ll never miss a high-probability trade again.
How It Works:
Buy Signal: Triggers when the short-term cloud crosses above the long-term cloud and the price surges above both, signaling a robust bullish breakout.
Sell Signal: Activates when the short-term cloud dips below the long-term cloud and the price falls beneath both, confirming bearish dominance.
Cloud Visualization: The green cloud (8/21 EMA) tracks fast-moving trends, while the red cloud (34/50 EMA) anchors the broader market direction—together, they filter noise and spotlight tradable moves.

Correlation X macroeconomicsFind the correlation between financial assets and the main Brazilian macroeconomic variables:
SELIC rate (Red)
PIB (Green)
Inflation (Blue)
Employment and income (Yellow)
Unlike other indicators that measure the correlation between two assets, the indicator "Correlation X macroeconomics" measures, for example, the correlation that the VALE3 asset has with the SELIC rate.
The correlation is obtained by calculating the variation suffered by a given asset on the day a given Brazilian macroeconomic variable is released.
This indicator can be used on any financial asset.
Use time frame chart = 1 day.
To calculate the correlation, data published by IBGE and the Central Bank of Brazil over a period of time are used. This time period is different depending on the selected macroeconomic variable. Namely:
16 PIB disclosures (4 years)
24 SELIC rate disclosures (3 years)
24 disclosures of IPCA and employment and income data (2 years)
You can select one or more macroeconomic variables to check the effect of correlation separately on each of them.
This indicator "Correlation X macroeconomics" will be updated monthly, as detailed below:
At the end of the day on which the PIB is released
At the end of the day on which employment and income data are released
At the end of the day following the day on which the SELIC rate is published
On the last business day of the month if none of the aforementioned disclosures occur
matrixx Global Sessions + Good/Premium Spread ZonesSimple (enough) Script that allows you to visualize the major trading sessions, with some QoL stuff, Includes a "Monday Open" bar for reference when zooming out.
By default no one 'session' is turned on; instead, we have;
Good Zone - where spread tends to close up enough for (me) to trade in the 1-minute timezones
Premium Zone - where the tightest spreads tend to happen and I (you?) can get more aggressive with Stop Losses, and moment-to-moment trade accuracy.
The Monday Open - for reference.
You are able to go into the settings and turn these on and off at will, making any combination of 'zones' you prefer, and can colour code them, as well.
Points of Difference;
You can turn on and off any group or set of sessions for an overview;
Additionally, this is coded so that if there is a "Daylight Saving" or other localized timezone shift, it should be reflected correcty, as timezones are calculated based on each sessions' data, not arbitrarily with +/- as most of the other scripts that do similar to this one.
Monday Open
you can toggle sessions, or instead toggle the 'off hour' zones, at will
Session Profile AnalyzerWhat’s This Thing Do?
Hey there, trader! Meet the Session Profile Analyzer (SPA) your new go-to pal for breaking down market action within your favorite trading sessions. It’s an overlay indicator that mixes Rotation Factor (RF), Average Subperiod Range (ASPR), Volume Value Area Range (VOLVAR), and TPO Value Area Range (TPOVAR) into one tidy little toolkit. Think of it as your market vibe checker momentum, volatility, and key levels, all served up with a grin.
The Cool Stuff It Does:
Rotation Factor (RF) : Keeps tabs on whether the market’s feeling bullish, bearish, or just chilling. It’s like a mood ring for price action shows “UP ↑,” “DOWN ↓,” or “NONE ↔.”
ASPR : Averages out the range of your chosen blocks. Big swings? Tiny wiggles? This tells you the session’s energy level.
VOLVAR : Dives into volume to find where the action’s at, with a smart twist it adjusts price levels based on the session’s size and tiny timeframe moves (capped at 128 so your chart doesn’t cry).
TPOVAR : Grabs lower timeframe data to spot where price hung out the most, TPO-style. Value zones, anyone?
Dynamic Precision : No ugly decimal overload SPA matches your asset’s style (2 decimals for BTC, 5 for TRX, you get it).
How to Play With It:
Session Start/End : Pick your trading window (say, 0930-2200) and a timezone (America/New_York, or wherever you’re at).
Block Size : Set the chunk size for RF and ASPR like 30M if you’re into half-hour vibes.
Value Area Timeframe : Go micro with something like 1S for VOLVAR and TPOVAR precision.
Label : Size it (small to huge), color it (white, neon pink, whatever), and slap it where you want (start, mid, end).
How It All Works (No PhD Required):
RF : Imagine breaking your session into blocks (via Block Size). For each block, SPA checks if the high beats the last high (+1) or not (0), and if the low dips below the last low (-1) or not (0). Add those up, and boom positive RF means upward vibes, negative means downward, near zero is “meh.” Use it to catch trends or spot when the market’s napping.
ASPR : Takes those same blocks, measures high-to-low range each time, and averages them. It’s your volatility pulse big ASPR = wild ride, small ASPR = snooze fest. Great for sizing up session action.
VOLVAR : Here’s the fun part. It takes the session’s full range (high minus low), divides it by the average range of your tiny Value Area Timeframe bars (e.g., 1S), and picks a sensible number of price levels capped at 128 so it doesn’t overthink. Then it bins volume into those levels, finds the busiest price (POC), and grows a 70% value area around it. Perfect for spotting where the big players parked their cash.
TPOVAR : Grabs midpoints from those tiny timeframe bars, sorts them, and snips off the top and bottom 15% to find the 70% “value zone” where price chilled the most. Think of it as the market’s comfort zone great for support/resistance hunting.
Why You’ll Like It:
Whether you’re scalping crypto, swinging forex, or dissecting stocks, SPA’s got your back. Use RF to catch momentum shifts like jumping on an “UP ↑” trend or fading a “DOWN ↓” exhaustion. ASPR’s your secret weapon for sizing up trades: a big ASPR (say, 100 on BTC) means you can aim for juicy targets (like 1-2x ASPR) or set invalidations tight when it’s tiny (e.g., 0.001 on TRX) to dodge chop. VOLVAR and TPOVAR are your level-finders nail those key zones where price loves to bounce or break, perfect for entries, stops, or profit grabs. It’s like having a trading co-pilot who’s chill but knows their stuff.
Heads-Up:
Load enough history for those micro timeframes to shine (1S needs some bars to work with).
Keeps things light won’t bog down your chart even with decent-sized sessions.
Let’s Roll:
Slap SPA on your chart, tweak it to your style, and watch it spill the beans on your session. Happy trading, fam may your pips be plenty and your losses few!
Psych LevelWhat it shows:
This indicator will show a horizontal line at a psychological value which can be user defined. (Psychological values are round numbers, like 10,50,100,1000 and so on...)
At these Psychological value there are often limit orders placed for both buying and selling and can often act as support and resistances.
Therefore it is useful to pre-draw these levels beforehand and this indicator will speed up the process doing so by adjusting few different settings and draw them automatically.
How to use it:
At these Psychological value there are often limit orders placed for both buying and selling and can often act as support and resistances. This is often the case when you look at limit orders at such levels on bookmap or level 2 data.
At these psychological levels it can be set as a target of your trade or as risk levels when taking a trade in either of direction. Obviously this alone shouldn't dictate the trade you should take but can be a valuable info to supplement your trade.

Price Guide NQ### **Price Guide NQ - Indicator Description (English)**
The **Price Guide NQ** indicator is designed to plot horizontal guide lines at specific price levels based on the **daily opening price** of the Nasdaq (NQ) index. Instead of dynamically adjusting with each new candle, the levels remain fixed throughout the trading day, providing a stable reference for traders.
#### **Key Features:**
- **Daily Open-Based Levels**: The indicator captures the market's opening price each day and calculates the price guide levels from that fixed point.
- **Predefined Price Increments**: It plots **30 levels above and below** the opening price in increments of 10 points (e.g., 19810, 19820, 19830, etc.).
- **Clear Visualization**: The guide lines are drawn with a **dotted style** and a neutral **gray color** to avoid cluttering the chart while providing key reference levels.
- **Automatic Line Management**: Each time a new trading day starts, the previous day's lines are removed, and new ones are plotted based on the fresh opening price.
#### **Usage:**
This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to identify psychological price levels or areas of potential support and resistance throughout the trading session.

Schaff Trend Cycle (STC)The STC (Schaff Trend Cycle) indicator is a momentum oscillator that combines elements of MACD and stochastic indicators to identify market cycles and potential trend reversals.
Key features of the STC indicator:
Oscillates between 0 and 100, similar to a stochastic oscillator
Values above 75 generally indicate overbought conditions
Values below 25 generally indicate oversold conditions
Signal line crossovers (above 75 or below 25) can suggest potential entry/exit points
Faster and more responsive than traditional MACD
Designed to filter out market noise and identify cyclical trends
Traders typically use the STC indicator to:
Identify potential trend reversals
Confirm existing trends
Generate buy/sell signals when combined with other technical indicators
Filter out false signals in choppy market conditions
This STC implementation includes multiple smoothing options that act as filters:
None: Raw STC values without additional smoothing, which provides the most responsive but potentially noisier signals.
EMA Smoothing: Applies a 3-period Exponential Moving Average to reduce noise while maintaining reasonable responsiveness (default).
Sigmoid Smoothing: Transforms the STC values using a sigmoid (S-curve) function, creating more gradual transitions between signals and potentially reducing whipsaw trades.
Digital (Schmitt Trigger) Smoothing: Creates a binary output (0 or 100) with built-in hysteresis to prevent rapid switching.
The STC indicator uses dynamic color coding to visually represent momentum:
Green: When the STC value is above its 5-period EMA, indicating positive momentum
Red: When the STC value is below its 5-period EMA, indicating negative momentum
The neutral zone (25-75) is highlighted with a light gray fill to clearly distinguish between normal and extreme readings.
Alerts:
Bullish Signal Alert:
The STC has been falling
It bottoms below the 25 level
It begins to rise again
This pattern helps confirm potential uptrend starts with higher reliability.
Bearish Signal Alert:
The STC has been rising
It peaks above the 75 level
It begins to decline
This pattern helps identify potential downtrend starts.

Adaptive Regression Channel [MissouriTim]The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a technical indicator designed to empower traders with a clear, adaptable, and precise view of market trends and price boundaries. By blending advanced statistical techniques with real-time market data, ARC delivers a comprehensive tool that dynamically adjusts to price action, volatility, volume, and momentum. Whether you’re navigating the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies, the steady trends of stocks, or the intricate movements of FOREX pairs, ARC provides a robust framework for identifying opportunities and managing risk.
Core Components
1. Color-Coded Regression Line
ARC’s centerpiece is a linear regression line derived from a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of closing prices. This line adapts its calculation period based on market volatility (via ATR) and is capped between a minimum of 20 bars and a maximum of 1.5 times the user-defined base length (default 100). Visually, it shifts colors to reflect trend direction: green for an upward slope (bullish) and red for a downward slope (bearish), offering an instant snapshot of market sentiment.
2. Dynamic Residual Channels
Surrounding the regression line are upper (red) and lower (green) channels, calculated using the standard deviation of residuals—the difference between actual closing prices and the regression line. This approach ensures the channels precisely track how closely prices follow the trend, rather than relying solely on overall price volatility. The channel width is dynamically adjusted by a multiplier that factors in:
Volatility: Measured through the Average True Range (ATR), widening channels during turbulent markets.
Trend Strength: Based on the regression slope, expanding channels in strong trends and contracting them in consolidation phases.
3. Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Plotted in orange, the VWMA overlays a volume-weighted price trend, emphasizing movements backed by significant trading activity. This complements the regression line, providing additional confirmation of trend validity and potential breakout strength.
4. Scaled RSI Overlay
ARC features a Relative Strength Index (RSI) overlay, plotted in purple and scaled to hover closely around the regression line. This compact display reflects momentum shifts within the trend’s context, keeping RSI visible on the price chart without excessive swings. User-defined overbought (default 70) and oversold (default 30) levels offer reference points for momentum analysis."
Technical Highlights
ARC leverages a volatility-adjusted lookback period, residual-based channel construction, and multi-indicator integration to achieve high accuracy. Its parameters—such as base length, channel width, ATR period, and RSI length—are fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor it to their specific needs.
Why Choose ARC?
ARC stands out for its adaptability and precision. The residual-based channels offer tighter, more relevant support and resistance levels compared to standard volatility measures, while the dynamic adjustments ensure it performs well in both trending and ranging markets. The inclusion of VWMA and scaled RSI adds depth, merging trend, volume, and momentum into a single, cohesive overlay. For traders seeking a versatile, all-in-one indicator, ARC delivers actionable insights with minimal noise.
Best Ways to Use the Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC)
The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a flexible tool that supports a variety of trading strategies, from trend-following to breakout detection. Below are the most effective ways to use ARC, along with practical tips for maximizing its potential. Adjustments to its settings may be necessary depending on the timeframe (e.g., intraday vs. daily) and the asset being traded (e.g., stocks, FOREX, cryptocurrencies), as each market exhibits unique volatility and behavior.
1. Trend Following
• How to Use: Rely on the regression line’s color to guide your trades. A green line (upward slope) signals a bullish trend—consider entering or holding long positions. A red line (downward slope) indicates a bearish trend—look to short or exit longs.
• Best Practice: Confirm the trend with the VWMA (orange line). Price above the VWMA in a green uptrend strengthens the bullish case; price below in a red downtrend reinforces bearish momentum.
• Adjustment: For short timeframes like 15-minute crypto charts, lower the Base Regression Length (e.g., to 50) for quicker trend detection. For weekly stock charts, increase it (e.g., to 200) to capture broader movements.
2. Channel-Based Trades
• How to Use: Use the upper channel (red) as resistance and the lower channel (green) as support. Buy when the price bounces off the lower channel in an uptrend, and sell or short when it rejects the upper channel in a downtrend.
• Best Practice: Check the scaled RSI (purple line) for momentum cues. A low RSI (e.g., near 30) at the lower channel suggests a stronger buy signal; a high RSI (e.g., near 70) at the upper channel supports a sell.
• Adjustment: In volatile crypto markets, widen the Base Channel Width Coefficient (e.g., to 2.5) to reduce false signals. For stable FOREX pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), a narrower width (e.g., 1.5) may work better.
3. Breakout Detection
• How to Use: Watch for price breaking above the upper channel (bullish breakout) or below the lower channel (bearish breakout). These moves often signal strong momentum shifts.
• Best Practice: Validate breakouts with VWMA position—price above VWMA for bullish breaks, below for bearish—and ensure the regression line’s slope aligns (green for up, red for down).
• Adjustment: For fast-moving assets like crypto on 1-hour charts, shorten ATR Length (e.g., to 7) to make channels more reactive. For stocks on daily charts, keep it at 14 or higher for reliability.
4. Momentum Analysis
• How to Use: The scaled RSI overlay shows momentum relative to the regression line. Rising RSI in a green uptrend confirms bullish strength; falling RSI in a red downtrend supports bearish pressure.
• Best Practice: Look for RSI divergences—e.g., price hitting new highs at the upper channel while RSI flattens or drops could signal an impending reversal.
• Adjustment: Reduce RSI Length (e.g., to 7) for intraday trading in FOREX or crypto to catch short-term momentum shifts. Increase it (e.g., to 21) for longer-term stock trades.
5. Range Trading
• How to Use: When the regression line’s slope is near zero (flat) and channels are tight, ARC indicates a ranging market. Buy near the lower channel and sell near the upper channel, targeting the regression line as the mean price.
• Best Practice: Ensure VWMA hovers close to the regression line to confirm the range-bound state.
• Adjustment: For low-volatility stocks on daily charts, use a moderate Base Regression Length (e.g., 100) and tight Base Channel Width (e.g., 1.5). For choppy crypto markets, test shorter settings.
Optimization Strategies
• Timeframe Customization: Adjust ARC’s parameters to match your trading horizon. Short timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 1-hour) benefit from lower Base Regression Length (20–50) and ATR Length (7–10) for agility, while longer timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly) favor higher values (100–200 and 14–21) for stability.
• Asset-Specific Tuning:
○ Stocks: Use longer lengths (e.g., 100–200) and moderate widths (e.g., 1.8) for stable equities; tweak ATR Length based on sector volatility (shorter for tech, longer for utilities).
○ FOREX: Set Base Regression Length to 50–100 and Base Channel Width to 1.5–2.0 for smoother trends; adjust RSI Length (e.g., 10–14) based on pair volatility.
○ Crypto: Opt for shorter lengths (e.g., 20–50) and wider widths (e.g., 2.0–3.0) to handle rapid price swings; use a shorter ATR Length (e.g., 7) for quick adaptation.
• Backtesting: Test ARC on historical data for your asset and timeframe to optimize settings. Evaluate how often price respects channels and whether breakouts yield profitable trades.
• Enhancements: Pair ARC with volume surges, key support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns (e.g., doji at channel edges) for higher-probability setups.
Practical Considerations
ARC’s adaptability makes it suitable for diverse markets, but its performance hinges on proper calibration. Cryptocurrencies, with their high volatility, may require shorter, wider settings to capture rapid moves, while stocks on longer timeframes benefit from broader, smoother configurations. FOREX pairs often fall in between, depending on their inherent volatility. Experiment with the adjustable parameters to align ARC with your trading style and market conditions, ensuring it delivers the precision and reliability you need.
Deviation ChannelsIndicator Name: Deviation Channels (Dev Chan)
Why Use This Indicator?
Visualize Volatility Ranges:
The indicator plots Keltner Channels at four levels above and below an average line, letting you easily see how far price has deviated from a typical range. Each “dev” line highlights potential support or resistance during pullbacks or surges.
Color-Coded Clarity:
Each band shifts color intensity depending on whether the current price is trading above or below it, letting you spot breakouts and rejections at a glance. Meanwhile, the Fast SMA (default 10) also changes color – green if price is above, red if below – adding a quick momentum read.
Adjustable Source & Length:
Choose your input source (open, close, ohlc4, or hlc3) and set your Keltner length to suit different asset classes or timeframes. Whether you want a tighter, more reactive channel or a smoother, longer-term reading, the script adapts with minimal effort.
A Simple Trading Approach
Identify Trend with Fast SMA:
If the Fast SMA (default length 10) is green (price above it), treat that as a bullish environment. If it’s red (price below), favor bearish or neutral stances.
Wait for Price to Reach Lower/Upper Deviations:
In a bullish setup (Fast SMA green), watch for price to dip into one of the lower channels (e.g., -1 Dev or -2 Dev). Such pullbacks can become potential “buy the dip” zones if price stabilizes and resumes upward momentum.
Conversely, if the Fast SMA is red, watch for price to test the upper channels (1 Dev or 2 Dev). That might be a short opportunity or a place to close out any remaining longs before a deeper correction.
Manage Risk with Channel Levels:
Place stop-losses just beyond the next “dev” band to protect against volatility. For example, if you enter on a bounce at -1 Dev, consider placing a stop near -2 Dev or -3 Dev, depending on your risk tolerance.
Take Profits Gradually:
In an uptrend, you might scale out of positions as price moves toward higher lines (e.g., 1 Dev or 2 Dev). Conversely, if price fails to hold above the Fast SMA or repeatedly closes below a key band, it might be time to exit.
Disclaimer: No single indicator is foolproof. Always combine with sound risk management, observe multiple timeframes, and consider fundamental factors before making trading decisions. Experiment with the Keltner length and Fast SMA fastLength to find the sweet spot for your market and time horizon.
