OBV with Divergence (SMA Smoother)Title: OBV Divergence with SMA Smoothing
Description:
This indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify regular (reversal) and hidden (continuation) On-Balance Volume (OBV) divergences against price action. It uses a modified OBV calculation (an OBV Oscillator) and integrates pivot analysis to automatically highlight potential turning points or trend continuations directly on your chart.
Key Features
Advanced Divergence Detection: Automatically detects and labels four types of divergences:
Regular Bullish/Bearish: Signals potential trend reversals.
Regular Bullish: Price makes a Lower Low (LL) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Higher Low (HL).
Regular Bearish: Price makes a Higher High (HH) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Lower High (LH).
Hidden Bullish/Bearish: Signals potential trend continuations.
Hidden Bullish: Price makes a Higher Low (HL) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Lower Low (LL).
Hidden Bearish: Price makes a Lower High (LH) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Higher High (HH).
OBV Oscillator: Instead of plotting the raw OBV, this script uses the difference between the OBV and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This technique centers the indicator around zero, making it easier to visualize volume momentum shifts and clearly identify peaks and troughs for divergence analysis.
Optional SMA Smoothing Line (New Feature): An added Simple Moving Average (SMA) line can be toggled on to further smooth the OBV Oscillator. Traders can use this line for crossover signals or to confirm the underlying trend of the volume momentum, reducing whipsaws.
Customizable Lookback: The indicator allows you to define the lookback periods (Pivot Lookback Left/Right) for price and oscillator pivots, giving you precise control over sensitivity. The Max/Min of Lookback Range helps filter out divergences that are too close or too far apart.

Clustering & Divergences (RSI-Stoch-CCI) [Sam SDF-Solutions]The Clustering & Divergences (RSI-Stoch-CCI) indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that consolidates three popular oscillators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI)—into one unified metric called the Score. This Score offers traders an aggregated view of market conditions, allowing them to quickly identify whether the market is oversold, balanced, or overbought.
Functionality:
Oscillator Clustering: The indicator calculates the values of RSI, Stochastic, and CCI using user-defined periods. These oscillator values are then normalized using one of three available methods: MinMax, Z-Score, or Z-Bins.
Score Calculation: Each normalized oscillator value is multiplied by its respective weight (which the user can adjust), and the weighted values are summed to generate an overall Score. This Score serves as a single, interpretable metric representing the combined oscillator behavior.
Market Clustering: The indicator performs clustering on the Score over a configurable window. By dividing the Score range into a set number of clusters (also configurable), the tool visually represents the market’s state. Each cluster is assigned a unique color so that traders can quickly see if the market is trending toward oversold, balanced, or overbought conditions.
Divergence Detection: The script automatically identifies both Regular and Hidden divergences between the price action and the Score. By using pivot detection on both price and Score data, the indicator marks potential reversal signals on the chart with labels and connecting lines. This helps in pinpointing moments when the price and the underlying oscillator dynamics diverge.
Customization Options: Users have full control over the indicator’s behavior. They can adjust:
The periods for each oscillator (RSI, Stochastic, CCI).
The weights applied to each oscillator in the Score calculation.
The normalization method and its manual boundaries.
The number of clusters and whether to invert the cluster order.
Parameters for divergence detection (such as pivot sensitivity and the minimum/maximum bar distance between pivots).
Visual Enhancements:
Depending on the user’s preference, either the Score or the Cluster Index (derived from the clustering process) is plotted on the chart. Additionally, the script changes the color of the price bars based on the identified cluster, providing an at-a-glance visual cue of the current market regime.
Logic & Methodology:
Input Parameters: The script starts by accepting user inputs for clustering settings, oscillator periods, weights, divergence detection, and manual boundary definitions for normalization.
Oscillator Calculation & Normalization: It computes RSI, Stochastic, and CCI values from the price data. These values are then normalized using either the MinMax method (scaling between a lower and upper band) or the Z-Score method (standardizing based on mean and standard deviation), or using Z-Bins for an alternative scaling approach.
Score Computation: Each normalized oscillator is multiplied by its corresponding weight. The sum of these products results in the overall Score that represents the combined oscillator behavior.
Clustering Algorithm: The Score is evaluated over a moving window to determine its minimum and maximum values. Using these values, the script calculates a cluster index that divides the Score into a predefined number of clusters. An option to invert the cluster calculation is provided to adjust the interpretation of the clustering.
Divergence Analysis: The indicator employs pivot detection (using left and right bar parameters) on both the price and the Score. It then compares recent pivot values to detect regular and hidden divergences. When a divergence is found, the script plots labels and optional connecting lines to highlight these key moments on the chart.
Plotting: Finally, based on the user’s selection, the indicator plots either the Score or the Cluster Index. It also overlays manual boundary lines (for the chosen normalization method) and adjusts the bar colors according to the cluster to provide clear visual feedback on market conditions.
_________
By integrating multiple oscillator signals into one cohesive tool, the Clustering & Divergences (RSI-Stoch-CCI) indicator helps traders minimize subjective analysis. Its dynamic clustering and automated divergence detection provide a streamlined method for assessing market conditions and potentially enhancing the accuracy of trading decisions.

If multiple timeframes show bearish divergences, it may signal a possible price drop or reversal downward.
When no divergences are present, it suggests no immediate divergence-based trading opportunity.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking for quick divergence insights across different timeframes without needing to analyze multiple indicators manually. 🚀
Awesome Oscillator with DivergenceSimple Awesome Oscillator with Divergences
This TradingView script combines the classic Awesome Oscillator (AO) with divergence detection. It plots AO as a histogram, highlighting changes in momentum. Divergences are identified based on pivot highs and lows, signaling potential trend reversals:
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, AO makes higher lows.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, AO makes lower highs.
Visual signals (arrows) and alerts ensure clear identification, making it ideal for traders focusing on momentum and trend reversals.
MTF RSI+CMO PROThis RSI+CMO script combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), providing a powerful tool to help traders analyze price momentum and spot potential turning points in the market. Unlike using RSI alone, the CMO (especially with a 14-period length) moves faster and accentuates price pops and dips in the histogram, making price shifts more apparent.
Indicator Features:
➡️RSI and CMO Combined: This indicator allows traders to track both RSI and CMO values simultaneously, highlighting differences in their movement. RSI and CMO values are both plotted on the histogram, while CMO values are also drawn as a line moving through the histogram, giving a visual representation of their relationship. The often faster-moving CMO accentuates short-term price movements, helping traders spot subtle shifts in momentum that the RSI might smooth out.
➡️Multi-Time Frame Table: A real-time, multi-time frame table displays RSI and CMO values across various timeframes. This gives traders an overview of momentum across different intervals, making it easier to spot trends and divergences across short and long-term time frames.
➡️Momentum Chart Label: A chart label compares the current RSI and CMO values with values from 1 and 2 bars back, providing an additional metric to gauge momentum. This feature allows traders to easily see if momentum is increasing or decreasing in real-time.
➡️RSI/CMO Bullish and Bearish Signals: Colored arrow plot shapes (above the histogram) indicate when RSI and CMO values are signaling bullish or bearish conditions. For example, green arrows appear when RSI is above 65, while purple arrows show when RSI is below 30 and CMO is below -40, indicating strong bearish momentum.
➡️Divergences in Histogram: The histogram can make it easier for traders to spot divergences between price and momentum. For instance, if the price is making new highs but the RSI or CMO is not, a bearish divergence may be forming. Similarly, bullish divergences can be spotted when prices are making lower lows while RSI or CMO is rising.
➡️Alert System: Alerts are built into the indicator and will trigger when specific conditions are met, allowing traders to stay informed of potential entry or exit points based on RSI and CMO levels without constantly monitoring the chart. These are set manually. Look for the 3 dots in the indicator name.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator:
💥Identifying Momentum Shifts: The RSI+CMO combination is ideal for spotting momentum shifts in the market. Traders can monitor the histogram and the CMO line to determine if the market is gaining or losing strength.
💥Confirming Trade Entries/Exits: Use the real-time RSI and CMO values across multiple time frames to confirm trades. For instance, if the 1-hour RSI is above 70 but the 1-minute RSI is turning down, it could indicate short-term overbought conditions, signaling a potential exit or reversal.
💥Spotting Divergences: Divergences are critical for predicting potential reversals. The histogram can be used to spot divergences when RSI and CMO values deviate from price action, offering an early signal of market exhaustion.
💥Tracking Multi-Time Frame Trends: The multi-time frame table provides insight into the market’s overall trend across several timeframes, helping traders ensure their decisions align with both short and long-term trends.
RSI vs. CMO: Why Use Both?
While both RSI and CMO measure momentum, the CMO often moves faster with a value of 14 for example, reacting to price changes more quickly. This makes it particularly effective for detecting sharp price movements, while RSI helps smooth out price action. By using both, traders get a clearer picture of the market's momentum, particularly during volatile periods.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of this indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use RSI+CMO in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and RSI+CMO values start to signal a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the RSI+CMO signals a potential trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like the MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the RSI+CMO values start to decrease rapidly while both the RSI+CMO also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern with decreasing RSI+CMo values offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the MTF RSI+CMO PRO with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.

1m Divergence Radar v.1 === Version 1 Beta, Revision 400 ===
=== Divergence Radar ===
=== Jason Tang ===
DESCRIPTION:
This script monitors several other indicators in the background, and when it detects certain combinations that indicate bullish or bearish divergences, it will create a buy or sell signal and shade the background green or red.
The indicators that this script monitors:
- 1m, 3m, 5m MACDS
- Higher Lows (Bullish Divergence) on the 3m and 5m MACD
- Lower Highs (Bearish Divergence) on the 3m and 5m MACD
- Lower Highs on the 3m and 5m DMI for buying strength (Bearish Divergence)
- Lower Highs on the 3m and 5m DMI for selling strength (Bullish Divergence)
- The 1m and 3m Keltner channel (shown as orange backgrounds only), to detect extremes in price.
The indicator will also watch for "squeeze" or "crash" conditions, at which time it will avoid sending a sell or buy signal. I have had many frustrations from shorting into a squeeze, and coded in a "don't catch the knife" safety mechanism.
To see these internal calculations, you can go to settings and check "Show Internals". Then you can check the Style tab for a label for each internal indicator.
WHY I MADE THIS:
I often watch multiple timeframes while day trading and it can be a mentally difficult task to keep track of all of the indicators on each timeframe. 1m, 3m, 5m, price candles, MACD, DMI, and more. This indicator is meant to "offload" much of the routine mental calculation like "Is there a MACD divergence on this timeframe?". It also provides me a way to visually backtest the strength of combinations of divergences. This is an ongoing project.
USAGE:
- This indicator should mainly be used on the 1m ES chart. It is meant to assist me with day trading the ES futures contract.
- Please keep in mind this is a BETA script and is in ongoing development. I tune it almost every day or week and will update it on a regular basis.
- The "buy" and "sell" zones this indicator shows are COUNTER-TREND indicators. Please keep that in mind.
- If price is RISING into a RED background, I would consider selling, if my other systems agree and if I find the risk/reward acceptable.
- If price is FALLING into a GREEN background, I would consider buying, if my other systems agree and if I find the risk/reward acceptable.
A dim RED background:
- The presence of lower highs on the 3m MACD, 5m MACD, 3m DMI Buying Strength, or 5m DMI Buying Strength
A bright RED background:
- An extremely overdone price move that is also showing some divergences. My best effort at algorithmically detecting a place to sell.
A dim GREEN background:
- The presence of higher lows on the 3m MACD, 5m MACD
- The presence of lower highs on the 3m DMI Selling Strength, or 5m DMI Selling Strength.
A bright GREEN background:
- An extremely oversold price that is also showing some divergences. My best effort at algorithmically detecting a place a buy.
A bright green dot above price (if Show Internals is checked):
- A SQUEEZE signal that cuts off any sell signal. In these conditions technical indicators do not seem to matter as forced buyers are dominating the price action. Do not be tempted to short the rip.
A bright red dot below price (if Show Internals is checked):
- A CRASH signal that cuts off any buy signal. In these conditions technical indicators do not seem to matter as forced sellers are dominating the price action. Do not be tempted to catch the knife.
Volume Weighted Stochastic RSIThis indicator calculates the Stochastic RSI, enhanced with optional Volume Weighting (VWStochRSI). It measures the level of a (Volume-Weighted) RSI relative to its high-low range over a set period, providing a sensitive momentum oscillator.

Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
Divergence Filtering and Visualization:
Price Tolerance Filter: Divergence detection is enhanced with a percentage-based price tolerance (pivPrcTol) to filter out insignificant market noise.
Persistent Visualization: Divergence markers are plotted for the entire duration of the signal and are visually anchored to the %K line level of the confirming pivot.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF VWStochRSI Lines: The %K and %D lines can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a timeframe other than the chart's timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated on the active chart timeframe.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 20 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.

Smart Money Proxy IndexOverview
The Smart Money Proxy Index (SMPI) is an educational tool that attempts to identify potential institutional-style behavior patterns using publicly available market data. This comprehensive tool combines multiple institutional analysis techniques into a single, easy-to-read 0-100 oscillator.
Important Disclaimer
This is an educational proxy indicator that analyzes volume and price patterns. It cannot identify actual institutional trading activity and should not be interpreted as tracking real "smart money." Use for educational purposes and combine with other analysis methods.
Inspiration & Methodology
This indicator is inspired by MAPsignals' Big Money Index (BMI) methodology but uses publicly available price and volume data with original calculations. This is an independent educational interpretation designed to teach smart money concepts to retail traders.
What It Analyzes
SMPI tracks potential "smart money" activity by combining:
Block Trading Detection - Identifies unusual volume surges with significant price impact
Money Flow Analysis - Volume-weighted price pressure using Money Flow Index
Accumulation/Distribution Patterns - Modified On-Balance Volume signals
Institutional Control Proxy - End-of-day positioning and control analysis
Key Features
– Multi-Component Analysis - Combines 4 different institutional detection methods
– BMI-Style 0-100 Scale - Familiar oscillator range with clear extreme levels
– Professional Visualization - Dynamic colors, gradient fills, and clean data table
– Comprehensive Alerts - Buy/sell signals plus divergence detection
– Fully Customizable - Adjust all parameters, colors, and display options
– Non-Repainting Signals - All alerts use confirmed data for reliability
– Educational Focus - Designed to teach institutional flow concepts
How to Interpret
Above 80: Potential smart money distribution phase (bearish pressure)
Below 20: Potential smart money accumulation phase (bullish opportunity)
Signal Generation: Buy signals when crossing above 20, sell signals when crossing below 80
Divergences: Price vs SMPI divergences can signal potential trend changes
Volume Confirmation: Higher volume ratios strengthen signal reliability
Best Practices
Timeframes: Works best on higher timeframes for institutional behavior analysis
Confirmation: Combine with other technical analysis tools and market context
Volume: Pay attention to volume confirmation in the data table
Context: Consider overall market conditions and fundamental factors
Risk Management: Not recommended as standalone trading system

SMPI Smoothing Period: Index calculation smoothing (default: 25 bars)
Extreme Levels: Overbought/oversold thresholds (default: 80/20)
Money Flow Length: MFI calculation period (default: 14)
Visual Options: Colors, signals, and display preferences
Available Alerts
Buy Signal: SMPI crosses above oversold level (20)
Sell Signal: SMPI crosses below overbought level (80)
Extreme Levels: Alerts when reaching overbought/oversold zones
Divergence Detection: Bullish and bearish price vs SMPI divergences
Educational Purpose & Limitations
This indicator is designed as an educational proxy for understanding institutional flow concepts. It analyzes publicly available price and volume data to identify potential smart money behavior patterns.
Cannot access actual institutional transaction data
Signals may be slower than day-trading indicators (intentionally designed for institutional timeframes)
Should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods
Past performance does not guarantee future results
What Makes This Different
Unlike simple volume or momentum indicators, SMPI combines multiple institutional analysis techniques into one comprehensive tool. The multi-component approach provides a more robust view of potential smart money activity.
RSI Divergence Pro+ VolumeRSI Divergence Pro+ Volume
What It Does:
RSI Divergence Pro+ Volume is a non-repainting indicator that helps traders spot potential bullish and bearish reversal zones using a classic technical analysis concept—RSI divergence—combined with advanced volume confirmation. The script highlights moments when price and RSI disagree, filtering for signals only when there is a significant volume spike, which helps reduce false positives in quiet or illiquid markets.
How It Works:
Bullish Divergence: Triggered when price makes a lower low but RSI forms a higher low, suggesting possible exhaustion in selling pressure.
Bearish Divergence: Triggered when price makes a higher high but RSI forms a lower high, signaling potential buying exhaustion.
Volume Confirmation: Signals only appear when trading volume exceeds a dynamic threshold (based on a user-defined moving average and multiplier), making alerts more reliable.
Visual Features: Customizable labels and optional gradient highlights mark the exact bars where divergence with volume confirmation occurs, making signals easy to see.
Alert System: Built-in alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences so traders can receive instant notifications.
How to Use:
Apply the script to any timeframe or liquid asset (15m–4H recommended for best results).
Watch for green “BULL↑” labels below bars (bullish divergence) and red “BEAR↓” labels above bars (bearish divergence).
Blue/violet background highlights confirm volume-verified signals.
Combine with your own risk management and confirmation tools for trade entries/exits.
Adjust lookback and volume settings to match your asset and style.
Originality & Usefulness:
This indicator stands out by combining traditional RSI divergence with advanced volume filtering, giving more credible and actionable reversal alerts. All logic is non-repainting and calculated on closed bars only. Settings are fully grouped and customizable, with professional visuals for clarity.
Limitations & Disclaimers:
Not every divergence results in a major reversal—use with other analysis.
More effective in trending or volatile markets; may produce more false signals in choppy/range conditions.
Signals are generated on bar close and do not repaint.
No indicator is a substitute for proper trading discipline and risk management.
Comprehensive Trading Toolkit [BigBeluga]Trading Toolkit is a comprehensive indicator inspired by the trading strategies of the renowned crypto influencer Michaël van de Poppe . This tool combines RSI divergences, correction zones, and advanced support/resistance levels to provide traders with a robust framework for analyzing market movements.
🔵 Key Features:
RSI Divergences on Chart:
Automatically identifies and plots RSI divergences (bullish and bearish) directly on the main price chart.
Green lines indicate bullish divergences, suggesting potential upward reversals.
Red lines indicate bearish divergences, signaling possible downward movements.
Correction Boxes:
Traders typically define a correction as a drop in value of 10% or more. This drop can happen over a few hours or a few days. Also, it can last for less than 24 hours or many months.
This indicator visualizes corrections with blue shaded boxes, triggered by a percentage decline defined in the settings.
The boxes highlight sharp price drops, helping traders identify significant market movements quickly.
Advanced Support and Resistance Levels:
Dynamically detects key support and resistance levels based on price pivots.
When the price is above a level, it plots a green shaded area from the cross point, marking support.
When the price drops below a level, it plots a red shaded area, highlighting resistance.
Dashed lines indicate weaker levels, while solid lines represent stronger, more reliable levels.
🔵 Usage:
Identify Divergences: Use plotted RSI divergences to detect potential market reversals and align them with price action.
Analyze Correction Zones: Utilize correction boxes to evaluate significant price declines and find potential buying opportunities during these corrections.
Leverage Support and Resistance Levels: Confirm breakouts, reversals, or consolidation zones with the color-coded areas.
Enhance Risk Management: Combine divergences and correction zones to set informed stop-loss or take-profit levels.
Trading Toolkit empowers traders with actionable insights into market trends, corrections, and support/resistance dynamics, making it an invaluable tool for crypto and forex markets.
Volume/Price Divergence v2The "Volume/Price Divergence v2" indicator is designed to analyze the relationship between volume and price movements in a financial market. It helps traders identify potential divergences that may indicate a change in market trends. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
### Key Components
1. **Volume Calculation**:
- **Buying Volume**: This is calculated based on the relationship between the closing price and the high/low range. If the closing price is closer to the low, more volume is attributed to buying.
- **Selling Volume**: Conversely, if the closing price is closer to the high, more volume is considered selling.
The formulas used are:
```pinescript
buyVolume = high == low ? 0 : volume * (close - low) / (high - low)
sellVolume = high == low ? 0 : volume * (high - close) / (high - low)
```
2. **Plotting Volume**:
- The total volume is plotted in red and buying volume is plotted in teal. This helps visualize the volume distribution during different price movements.
3. **Rate of Change (ROC)**:
- The indicator calculates the rate of change for both volume and price over a specified period. This allows traders to see how volume and price are changing relative to each other.
```pinescript
roc = source / source
roc2 = source2 / source2
```
4. **Volume/Price Divergence (VPD)**:
- The VPD is derived from the ratio of the ROC of volume to the ROC of price. This ratio helps identify divergences:
- A VPD significantly above 10 may indicate strong divergence, suggesting that price movements are not supported by volume.
- A VPD around 1 indicates that volume and price are moving in harmony.
5. **Horizontal Lines**:
- The indicator includes horizontal lines at levels 10 (high divergence) and 1 (low divergence), serving as visual cues for traders to assess the market's state.
### Interpretation
- **Divergence**: If price makes a new high but volume does not follow (or vice versa), it may signal a potential reversal or weakness in the trend.
- **Volume Trends**: Analyzing the buying vs. selling volume can provide insights into market sentiment, helping traders make informed decisions.
- **Potential for a Strong Move**: A high VPD during a breakout indicates that while volume is increasing, the price isn’t moving significantly, suggesting that a big price move could be imminent.
- **Caution Before Entry**: Traders should be aware that the lack of price movement relative to high volume may signal an impending volatility spike, which could lead to a rapid price change in either direction.
Overall, this indicator is useful for traders looking to gauge the strength of price movements and identify potential reversals or breakouts based on volume trends.
MTF TMOTMO - (T)rue (M)omentum (O)scillator) MTF (Higher Aggregation) Version
TMO calculates momentum using the DELTA of price. Giving a much better picture of the trend, reversals & divergences than most momentum oscillators using price. Aside from the regular TMO, this study combines four different TMO aggregations into one indicator for an even better picture of the trend. Once you look deeper into this study you will realize how complex this tool is. This version also produce much more information like crosses, divergences, overbought / oversold signals, higher aggregation fades etc. It is probably not even possible to explain them all, there could easily be an entire e-book about this study.
I have been using this tool for a couple of years now, and this is what i have learned so far:
Favorite Time Frame Variations:
1. 1m / 5m / 30m - Great for intraday futures or options scalps. 30m TMO serves as the overall trend gauge for the day. 5min dictates the longer term intraday moves as well as direction of the 1min. 1min is for the scalps. When the 5min TMO is sloping higher focus should be on 1min buy signals (red to green cross) and vice versa for the 5min agg. sloping down.
2. 5m / 30m / 60m - Also an interesting variation for day trading the 3-5 min charts. Producing more cleaner & beginner-friendly signals that lasts couple of minutes instead of seconds.
3. 120m / Day / 2 Day - For the 30m to 1H or 2H timeframes. Daily & 2 Day dictates the overall trend. 120 min for the signals. Great for a multi-day swings.
4. Day / 2 Day / Week - Good for the daily charts, swing trading analysis as the weekly dictates the overall trend, daily dictates the signals and the 2 day cleans out the daily signals. If the daily & 2 day are not aligned togather, daily signal means nothing. Weekly dictates 2 day - 2 day dictates daily.
5. Week / Month / 3 Month - Same thing as the previous variation but for the weekly charts.
TMO Length:
The default vanilla settings are 14,5,3. Some traders prefer 21,5,3 as the TMO length is litle higher = TMO will potenially last little longer which could teoretically produce less false signals but slower crosses which means signals will lag more behind price. The lower the length, the faster the oscillator oscillates. It is the noice vs. the lag debate. The Length can be changed, but i would not personally touch the other two. Few points up or down on length will not drastically change much. But changes on Calc Length and Smooth Length can produce totally different signals from the original.
Tips & Tricks:
1. Observe
- This is the best tip & trick I can give you. The #1 best way to learn how any study operates is to just observe how it works in certain situations from the past. MTF TMO is not
an exception.
2. The Power of the Higher Aggregation
- The higher aggregation ALWAYS dictates the lower one. Best way to see this? Just 2x the current timeframe aggregation = so on daily chart, plot the daily & two day TMOs and you will notice how the higher agg. smooths out the current agg. The higher the aggregation is, the smoother (but slower) will the TMO turn. The real power kicks in when the 3 or 4 aggregations are aligned togather in one direction.
3. Position of the Higher Aggregation in Relation to the Extremes
- Overbought / oversold signals might not really work on the current aggregation. But pay attention to the higher aggregations in relation to the extremes. Ex: on the daily chart - daily TMO inside the OB / OS extremes might not mean much. But once the higher aggregations such as 3 day or Weekly TMO enters OB/OS zone togather with the daily, this can be a very powerful signal for a TMO reversion to the zeroline.
4. Crosses
- Yes, crosses do work. Personally, I never really focused on them. The thing about the crosses is that it is crucial to pick the right higher aggregation to the combination of the current one that would be reliable but also print enough signals. The closer the cross is to the OB / OS extremes, the more bigger move can occur. Crosses around the zero line can be considered as less quality crosses.
5. Divergences
- TMO can print awesome divergences. The best divergences are on the current aggregation (TMO agg. same as the chart) since the current agg. oscillates fast, it can usually produce lower lows & higher highs faster then any higher aggregations. Easy setup: wait for the higher aggregation to reach the OB / OS extremes and watch the current (chart) aggregation to print a divergence.
6. Three is Enough
- I personally find more than three aggregations messy and hard to read. But there is always the option to turn on the 4th one. Just switch the TMO 4 Main, TMO 4 Signal and TMO 4 Fill in the style settings.
Hope it helps.
Big Candle Identifier with RSI Divergence and Advanced Stops1. Strategy Objective
The main goal of this strategy is to:
Identify significant price momentum (big candles).
Enter trades at opportune moments based on market signals (candlestick patterns and RSI divergence).
Limit initial risk through a fixed stop loss.
Maximize profits by using a trailing stop that activates only after the trade moves a specified distance in the profitable direction.
2. Components of the Strategy
A. Big Candle Identification
The strategy identifies big candles as indicators of strong momentum.
A big candle is defined as:
The body (absolute difference between close and open) of the current candle (body0) is larger than the bodies of the last five candles.
The candle is:
Bullish Big Candle: If close > open.
Bearish Big Candle: If open > close.
Purpose: Big candles signal potential continuation or reversal of trends, serving as the primary entry trigger.
B. RSI Divergence
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator used to detect overbought/oversold conditions and divergence.
Fast RSI: A 5-period RSI, which is more sensitive to short-term price movements.
Slow RSI: A 14-period RSI, which smoothens fluctuations over a longer timeframe.
Divergence: The difference between the fast and slow RSIs.
Positive divergence (divergence > 0): Bullish momentum.
Negative divergence (divergence < 0): Bearish momentum.
Visualization: The divergence is plotted on the chart, helping traders confirm momentum shifts.
C. Stop Loss
Initial Stop Loss:
When entering a trade, an immediate stop loss of 200 points is applied.
This stop loss ensures the maximum risk is capped at a predefined level.
Implementation:
Long Trades: Stop loss is set below the entry price at low - 200 points.
Short Trades: Stop loss is set above the entry price at high + 200 points.
Purpose:
Prevents significant losses if the price moves against the trade immediately after entry.
D. Trailing Stop
The trailing stop is a dynamic risk management tool that adjusts with price movements to lock in profits. Here’s how it works:
Activation Condition:
The trailing stop only starts trailing when the trade moves 200 ticks (profit) in the right direction:
Long Position: close - entry_price >= 200 ticks.
Short Position: entry_price - close >= 200 ticks.
Trailing Logic:
Once activated, the trailing stop:
For Long Positions: Trails behind the price by 150 ticks (trail_stop = close - 150 ticks).
For Short Positions: Trails above the price by 150 ticks (trail_stop = close + 150 ticks).
Exit Condition:
The trade exits automatically if the price touches the trailing stop level.
Purpose:
Ensures profits are locked in as the trade progresses while still allowing room for price fluctuations.
E. Trade Entry Logic
Long Entry:
Triggered when a bullish big candle is identified.
Stop loss is set at low - 200 points.
Short Entry:
Triggered when a bearish big candle is identified.
Stop loss is set at high + 200 points.
F. Trade Exit Logic
Trailing Stop: Automatically exits the trade if the price touches the trailing stop level.
Fixed Stop Loss: Exits the trade if the price hits the predefined stop loss level.
G. 21 EMA
The strategy includes a 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as a trend filter.
EMA helps visualize the overall market direction:
Price above EMA: Indicates an uptrend.
Price below EMA: Indicates a downtrend.
H. Visualization
Big Candle Identification:
The open and close prices of big candles are plotted for easy reference.
Trailing Stop:
Plotted on the chart to visualize its progression during the trade.
Green Line: Indicates the trailing stop for long positions.
Red Line: Indicates the trailing stop for short positions.
RSI Divergence:
Positive divergence is shown in green.
Negative divergence is shown in red.
3. Key Parameters
trail_start_ticks: The number of ticks required before the trailing stop activates (default: 200 ticks).
trail_distance_ticks: The distance between the trailing stop and price once the trailing stop starts (default: 150 ticks).
initial_stop_loss_points: The fixed stop loss in points applied at entry (default: 200 points).
tick_size: Automatically calculates the minimum tick size for the trading instrument.
4. Workflow of the Strategy
Step 1: Entry Signal
The strategy identifies a big candle (bullish or bearish).
If conditions are met, a trade is entered with a fixed stop loss.
Step 2: Initial Risk Management
The trade starts with an initial stop loss of 200 points.
Step 3: Trailing Stop Activation
If the trade moves 200 ticks in the profitable direction:
The trailing stop is activated and follows the price at a distance of 150 ticks.
Step 4: Exit the Trade
The trade is exited if:
The price hits the trailing stop.
The price hits the initial stop loss.
5. Advantages of the Strategy
Risk Management:
The fixed stop loss ensures that losses are capped.
The trailing stop locks in profits after the trade becomes profitable.
Momentum-Based Entries:
The strategy uses big candles as entry triggers, which often indicate strong price momentum.
Divergence Confirmation:
RSI divergence helps validate momentum and avoid false signals.
Dynamic Profit Protection:
The trailing stop adjusts dynamically, allowing the trade to capture larger moves while protecting gains.
6. Ideal Market Conditions
This strategy performs best in:
Trending Markets:
Big candles and momentum signals are more effective in capturing directional moves.
High Volatility:
Larger price swings improve the probability of reaching the trailing stop activation level (200 ticks).

- Alert Activation: Enable or disable alerts for divergences.
This tool combines price action with open interest dynamics to provide a robust method for identifying market trends and potential reversals in BTC CME Futures.
SMI Ergodic Indicator/Oscillator of Money Flow Index▮ Introduction
The Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic (SMII) indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to predict trend reversals in the price of an asset.
It functions as a momentum oscillator, measuring the ratio of the smoothed price change to the smoothed absolute price change over a given number of previous periods.
The Ergodic SMI is based on the True Strength Index (TSI) and integrates a signal line, which is an exponential moving average (EMA) of the SMI indicator itself.
The Ergodic SMI oscillator provides a clearer picture of market trends than the traditional stochastic oscillator by incorporating the concept of 'ergodicity', which helps remove market noise.
On ther other hand, MFI (Money Flow Index) is a technical analysis indicator used to measure the inflow of money into an asset and thus help identify buying and selling pressure in a given financial instrument.
When these two indicators are combined, they can provide a more comprehensive view of price direction and market strength.
▮ Motivation: why another indicator?
By combining SMII with MFI, we can gain even more insights into the market.
One way to do this is to use the MFI as an input to the SMII, rather than just using price.
This means we are measuring momentum based on buying and selling pressure rather than just price.
Furthermore, there is the possibility of making several fine adjustments to both the calculation and visualization parameters that are not present in other indicators.
▮ What to look for
When using the SMII MFI indicator, there are a few things to look out for.
First, look at the SMII signal line.
When the line crosses above -40, it is considered a buy signal, while the crossing below +40 is considered a sell signal.
Also, pay attention to divergences between the SMII and the price.
If price is rising but the SMII is showing negative divergence, it could indicate that momentum is waning and a reversal could be in the offing.
Likewise, if price is falling but the SMII is showing positive divergence, this could indicate that momentum is building and a reversal could also be in the offing.
Divergences can be considered in both indicator and/or histogram.
Examples:
▮ Notes
The indicator presented here offers both the 'SMII' and the 'SMIO', that is, the 'Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic Indicator' together with the 'Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic Oscillator' (histogram), as per the documentation described in reference links.
So it is important to highlight the differences in relation to my other indicator, the 'Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) of Money Flow Index (MFI)':
This last one is purely based on the SMI , which is implemented using SMA smoothing for the relative range and the high/low range.
Although they may seem the same in some situations, the calculation is actually different. The TSI tends to be more responsive at the expense of being noisier, while the SMI tends to be smoother. Which of these two indicators is best depends on the situation, the context, and the analyst's personal preference.
Please refer to reference links to more info.

VWAP DivergenceThe "VWAP Divergence" indicator leverages the VWAP Rolling indicator available in TradingView's library to analyze price and volume dynamics. This custom indicator calculates a rolling VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) and compares it with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a specified historical period.
Advantages:
1. Accurate VWAP Calculation: The VWAP Rolling indicator computes a VWAP that dynamically adjusts based on recent price and volume data. VWAP is a vital metric used by traders to understand the average price at which a security has traded, factoring in volume.
2. SMA Comparison: By contrasting the rolling VWAP from the VWAP Rolling indicator with an SMA of the same length, the indicator highlights potential divergences. This comparison can reveal shifts in market sentiment.
3. Divergence Identification: The primary purpose of this indicator is to detect divergences between the rolling VWAP from VWAP Rolling and the SMA. Divergence occurs when the rolling VWAP significantly differs from the SMA, indicating potential changes in market dynamics.
Interpretation:
1. Positive Oscillator Values: A positive oscillator (difference between rolling VWAP and SMA) suggests that the rolling VWAP, derived from the VWAP Rolling indicator, is above the SMA. This could indicate strong buying interest or accumulation.
2. Negative Oscillator Values: Conversely, a negative oscillator value indicates that the rolling VWAP is below the SMA. This might signal selling pressure or distribution.
3. Divergence Signals: Significant divergences between the rolling VWAP (from VWAP Rolling) and SMA can indicate shifts in market sentiment. For instance, a rising rolling VWAP diverging upwards from the SMA might suggest increasing bullish sentiment.
4. Confirmation with Price Movements: Traders often use these divergences alongside price action to confirm potential trend reversals or continuations.
Implementation:
1. Length Parameter: Adjust the Length input to modify the lookback period for computing both the rolling VWAP from VWAP Rolling and the SMA. A longer period provides a broader view of market sentiment, while a shorter period is more sensitive to recent price movements.
2. Visualization: The indicator plots the VWAP SMA Oscillator, which visually represents the difference (oscillator) between the rolling VWAP (from VWAP Rolling) and SMA over time.
3. Zero Line: The zero line (gray line) serves as a reference point. Oscillator values crossing above or below this line can be interpreted as bullish or bearish signals, respectively.
4. Contextual Analysis: Interpret signals from this indicator in conjunction with broader market conditions and other technical indicators to make informed trading decisions.
This indicator, utilizing the VWAP Rolling component, is valuable for traders seeking insights into the relationship between volume-weighted price levels and traditional moving averages, aiding in the identification of potential trading opportunities based on market dynamics.
RSI Divergence Strategy v6 What this does
Detects regular and hidden divergences between price and RSI using confirmed RSI pivots. Adds RSI@pivot entry gates, a normalized strength + volume filter, optional volume gate, delayed entries, and transparent risk management with rigid SL and activatable trailing. Visuals are throttled for clarity and include a gap-free horizontal RSI gradient.
How it works (simple)
🧮 RSI is calculated on your selected source/period.
📌 RSI pivots are confirmed with left/right lookbacks (lbL/lbR). A pivot becomes final only after lbR bars; before that, it can move (expected).
🔎 The latest confirmed pivot is compared against the previous confirmed pivot within your bar window:
• Regular Bullish = price lower low + RSI higher low
• Hidden Bullish = price higher low + RSI lower low
• Regular Bearish = price higher high + RSI lower high
• Hidden Bearish = price lower high + RSI higher high
💪 Each divergence gets a strength score that multiplies price % change, RSI change, and a volume ratio (Volume SMA / Baseline Volume SMA).
• Set Min divergence strength to filter tiny/noisy signals.
• Turn on the volume gate to require volume ratio ≥ your threshold (e.g., 1.0).
🎯 RSI@pivot gating:
• Longs only if RSI at the bullish pivot ≤ 30 (default).
• Shorts only if RSI at the bearish pivot ≥ 70 (default).
⏱ Entry timing:
• Immediate: on divergence confirm (delay = 0).
• Delayed: after N bars if RSI is still valid.
• RSI-only mode: ignore divergences; use RSI thresholds only.
🛡 Risk:
• Rigid SL is placed from average entry.
• Trailing activates only after unrealized gain ≥ threshold; it re-anchors on new highs (long) or new lows (short).
What’s NEW here (vs. the reference) — and why you may care
• Improved pivots + bar window → fewer early/misaligned signals; cleaner drawings.
• RSI@pivot gates → entries aligned with true oversold/overbought at the exact decision bar.
• Normalized strength + volume gate → ignore weak or low-volume divergences.
• Delayed entries → require the signal to persist N bars if you want more confirmation.
• Rigid SL + activatable trailing → trailing engages only after a cushion, so it’s less noisy.
• Clutter control + gradient → readable chart with a smooth RSI band look.
Suggested starting values (clear ranges)
• RSI@pivot thresholds: LONG ≤ 30 (oversold), SHORT ≥ 70 (overbought).
• Min divergence strength:
0.0 = off
3–6 = moderate filter
7–12 = strict filter for noisy LTFs
• Volume gate (ratio):
1.0 = at least baseline volume
1.2–1.5 = strong-volume only (fewer but cleaner signals)
• Pivot lookbacks:
lbL 1–2, lbR 3–4 (raise lbR to confirm later and reduce noise)
• Bar window (between pivots):
Min 5–10, Max 30–60 (increase Min if you see micro-pivots; increase Max for wider structures)
• Risk:
Rigid SL 2–5% on liquid majors; 5–10% on higher-volatility symbols
Trailing activation 1–3%, trailing 0.5–1.5% are common intraday starts
