Stochastic Ensembling of OutputsStochastic Ensembling of Outputs
🙏🏻 This is a simple tool/method that would solve naturally many well known problems:
“Price reversed 1 tick before the actual level, not executing my limit order”
“I consider intraday trend change by checking whether price is above/below VWAP, but is 1 tick enough? What to do, price is now whipsawing around vwap...”.
“I want to gradually accumulate a position around a chosen anchor. But where exactly should I put my orders? And I want to automate it ofc.“
“All these DSP adepts are telling you about some kind of noise in the markets… But how can I actually see it?”
The easy fix is to make things more analog less digital, by synthesizing numerous noise instances & adding it to any price-applied metric of yours. The ones who fw techno & psytrance, and other music, probably don’t need any more explanations. Then by checking not just 2 lines or 1 process against another one, you will be checking cloud vs cloud of lines, even allowing you to introduce proxies of probabilities. More crosses -> more confirmation to act.
How-to use:
The tool has 2 inputs: source and target:
Sources should always be the underlying process. If you apply the tool to price based metric, leave it hlcc4 unless you have a better one point estimate for each bar;
Target is your target, e.g if you want to apply it to VWAP, pick VWAP as target. You can thee on the chart above how trading activity recently never exactly touched VWAP, however noised instances of VWAP 'were' touched
The code is clean and written in modular form, you can simply copy paste it to any script of yours if you don't want to have multiple study-on-study script pairs.
^^ applied to prev days highs and lows
^^ applied to MBAD extensions and basis
^^ applied to input series itself
Here’s how it works, no ML, no “AI”, no 1k lines of code, just stats:
The problem with metrics, even if they are time aware like WMA, is that they still do not directly gain information about “changes” between datapoints. If we pick noise characteristics to match these changes, we’d effectively introduce this info into our ops.
^^ this screenshot represents 2 very different processes: a sine wave and white noise, see how the noise instances learned from each process differ significantly.
Changes can be represented as AR1 process . It’s dead simple, no PHD needed, it’s just how the current datapoint is related (or not) to the previous datapoint, no more than 1, and how this relationship holds/evolves over time. Unlike the mainstream approach like MLE, I estimate this relationship (phi parameter) via MoM but giving more weights to more recent datapoints via exponential smoothing over all the data available on your charts (so I encode temporal information), algocomplexity is O(1), lighting fast, just one pass. <- that gives phi , we’d use it as color for our noise generator
Then we just need to estimate noise amplitude ( gamma ) via checking what AR1 model actually thought vs the reality, variance of these innovations. Same via exponential smoothing, time aware, O(1), one pass, it’s all it does.
Then we generate white gaussian noise, and apply 2 estimated parameters (phi and gamma), and that’s all.
Omg, I think I just made my first real DSP script xd
Just like Monte Carlo for risk management, this is so simple and natural I can’t believe so many “pros” hide it and never talk about it in open access. Sharing it here on TradingView would’ve not done anything critical for em, but many would’ve benefited.

Introduction
Hellenic EMA Matrix is a premium indicator based on mathematical constants of nature: Phi (Phi - Golden Ratio), Pi (Pi), e (Euler's number). The indicator uses these universal constants to create dynamic EMAs that adapt to the natural rhythms of the market.
Key Features:
6 EMA types based on mathematical constants
Premium visualization with Neon Glow and Gradient Clouds
Automatic Fast/Mid/Slow EMA sorting
STRONG signals for powerful trends
Pulsing Ribbon Bar for instant trend assessment
Works on all timeframes (M1 - MN)
Indicator Philosophy
Why Mathematical Constants?
Traditional EMAs use arbitrary periods (9, 21, 50, 200). Hellenic Matrix goes further, using universal mathematical constants found in nature:
Phi (1.618) - Golden Ratio: galaxy spirals, seashells, human body proportions
Pi (3.14159) - Pi: circles, waves, cycles
e (2.71828) - Natural logarithm base: exponential growth, radioactive decay
Markets are also a natural system composed of millions of participants. Using mathematical constants allows tuning into the natural rhythms of market cycles.
Mathematical Constants
Phi (Phi) - Golden Ratio
Phi = 1.618033988749895
Properties:
Phi² = Phi + 1 = 2.618
Phi³ = 4.236
Phi⁴ = 6.854
Application: Ideal for trending movements and Fibonacci corrections
Pi (Pi) - Pi Number
Pi = 3.141592653589793
Properties:
2Pi = 6.283 (full circle)
3Pi = 9.425
4Pi = 12.566
Application: Excellent for cyclical markets and wave structures
e (Euler) - Euler's Number
e = 2.718281828459045
Properties:
e² = 7.389
e³ = 20.085
e⁴ = 54.598
Application: Suitable for exponential movements and volatile markets
EMA Types
1. Phi (Phi) - Golden Ratio EMA
Description: EMA based on the golden ratio
Period Formula:
Period = Phi^n × Base Multiplier
Parameters:
Phi Power Level (1-8): Power of Phi
Phi¹ = 1.618 → ~16 period (with Base=10)
Phi² = 2.618 → ~26 period
Phi³ = 4.236 → ~42 period (recommended)
Phi⁴ = 6.854 → ~69 period
Recommendations:
Phi² or Phi³ for day trading
Phi⁴ or Phi⁵ for swing trading
Works excellently as Fast EMA
2. Pi (Pi) - Circular EMA
Description: EMA based on Pi for cyclical movements
Period Formula:
Period = Pi × Multiple × Base Multiplier
Parameters:
Pi Multiple (1-10): Pi multiplier
1Pi = 3.14 → ~31 period (with Base=10)
2Pi = 6.28 → ~63 period (recommended)
3Pi = 9.42 → ~94 period
Recommendations:
2Pi ideal as Mid or Slow EMA
Excellently identifies cycles and waves
Use on volatile markets (crypto, forex)
3. e (Euler) - Natural EMA
Description: EMA based on natural logarithm
Period Formula:
Period = e^n × Base Multiplier
Parameters:
e Power Level (1-6): Power of e
e¹ = 2.718 → ~27 period (with Base=10)
e² = 7.389 → ~74 period (recommended)
e³ = 20.085 → ~201 period
Recommendations:
e² works excellently as Slow EMA
Ideal for stocks and indices
Filters noise well on lower timeframes
4. Delta (Delta) - Adaptive EMA
Description: Adaptive EMA that changes period based on volatility
Period Formula:
Period = Base Period × (1 + (Volatility - 1) × Factor)
Parameters:
Delta Base Period (5-200): Base period (default 20)
Delta Volatility Sensitivity (0.5-5.0): Volatility sensitivity (default 2.0)
How it works:
During low volatility → period decreases → EMA reacts faster
During high volatility → period increases → EMA smooths noise
Recommendations:
Works excellently on news and sharp movements
Use as Fast EMA for quick adaptation
Sensitivity 2.0-3.0 for crypto, 1.0-2.0 for stocks
5. Sigma (Sigma) - Composite EMA
Description: Composite EMA combining multiple active EMAs
Composition Methods:
Weighted Average (default):
Sigma = (Phi + Pi + e + Delta) / 4
Simple average of all active EMAs
Geometric Mean:
Sigma = fourth_root(Phi × Pi × e × Delta)
Geometric mean (more conservative)
Harmonic Mean:
Sigma = 4 / (1/Phi + 1/Pi + 1/e + 1/Delta)
Harmonic mean (more weight to smaller values)
Recommendations:
Enable for additional confirmation
Use as Mid EMA
Weighted Average - most universal method
6. Lambda (Lambda) - Wave EMA
Description: Wave EMA with sinusoidal period modulation

FAQ
1. Why don't STRONG signals appear?
Possible reasons:
Incorrect Fast/Mid/Slow order
Solution: Indicator automatically sorts EMAs by periods, but ensure selected EMAs have different periods
Base Multiplier too large
Solution: Reduce Base to 5-10 on lower timeframes
Market in range
Solution: STRONG signals appear only in trends - this is normal
Too strict EMA settings
Solution: Try classic combination: Phi³ / Pi×2 / e² with Base=10
Mid EMA too close to Fast or Slow
Solution: Select Mid EMA with period between Fast and Slow
2. How often should STRONG signals appear?
Normal frequency:
M1-M5: 5-15 signals per day (very active markets)
M15-H1: 2-8 signals per day
H4: 3-10 signals per week
D1: 2-5 signals per month
W1: 2-6 signals per year
If too many signals - market very volatile or Base too small
If too few signals - market in range or Base too large
4. What are the best settings for beginners?
Universal "out of the box" settings:
Matrix Core:
Base Multiplier: 10
Source: close
Phi Golden: Enabled, Power = 3
Pi Circular: Enabled, Multiple = 2
e Natural: Enabled, Power = 2
Delta Adaptive: Enabled, Base = 20, Sensitivity = 2.0
Manual Selection:
Fast: Phi Golden
Mid: e Natural
Slow: Pi Circular
Visualization:
Gradient Clouds: ON
Neon Glow: ON (Medium)
Pulsing Bar: ON (Medium)
Signal Highlights: ON (Light Fill)
Table: ON (Top Right, Small)
Signals:
Golden/Death Cross: ON
STRONG Signals: ON
Stop Loss: OFF (while learning)
Timeframe for learning: H1 or H4
5. Can I use only one EMA?
No, minimum 2 EMAs (Fast and Slow) for signal generation.
Mid EMA is optional:
With Mid EMA = more reliable but rarer signals
Without Mid EMA = more signals but less strict filtering
Recommendation: Start with 3 EMAs (Fast/Mid/Slow), then experiment
6. Does the indicator work on cryptocurrencies?
Yes, works excellently! Especially good on:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Major altcoins (SOL, BNB, XRP)
Recommended settings for crypto:
Fast: Delta Adaptive (Base 10-15, Sensitivity 2.5-3.0)
Mid: Pi Circular (2Pi)
Slow: e Natural (e²)
Base: 5-10
Timeframe: M15, H1, H4
Crypto market features:
High volatility → use Delta Adaptive
24/7 trading → set alerts
Sharp movements → wide stops
7. Can I trade only with this indicator?
Technically yes, but NOT recommended.
Best approach - combine with:
Price Action - support/resistance levels, candle patterns
Volume - movement strength confirmation
Fibonacci - retracement and extension levels
RSI/MACD - divergences and overbought/oversold
Fundamental analysis - news, company reports
Hellenic Matrix:
Excellently determines trend and its strength
Provides clear entry/exit points
Doesn't consider fundamentals
Doesn't see major levels
8. Why do Gradient Clouds change color?
Color depends on EMA order:
Phi-Pi Cloud:
Blue - Pi EMA above Phi EMA (bullish alignment)
Gold - Phi EMA above Pi EMA (bearish alignment)
Pi-e Cloud:
Green - e EMA above Pi EMA (bullish alignment)
Blue - Pi EMA above e EMA (bearish alignment)
Color change = EMA order change = possible trend change
9. What is Momentum % in the table?
Momentum % = percentage deviation of price from Fast EMA
Formula:
Momentum = ((Close - Fast EMA) / Fast EMA) × 100
Interpretation:
+0.5% to +2% - normal bullish momentum
+2% to +5% - strong bullish momentum
+5% and above - overheating (correction possible)
-0.5% to -2% - normal bearish momentum
-2% to -5% - strong bearish momentum
-5% and below - oversold (bounce possible)
Usage:
Monitor momentum during STRONG signals
Large momentum = don't enter (wait for pullback)
Small momentum = good entry point
10. How to configure for scalping?
Settings for scalping (M1-M5):
Base Multiplier: 3-5
Source: close or hlc3 (smoother)
Fast: Delta Adaptive (Base 8-12, Sensitivity 3.0)
Mid: None (for more signals)
Slow: Phi Golden (Phi²) or Pi Circular (1Pi)
Visualization:
- Gradient Clouds: ON (helps see strength)
- Neon Glow: OFF (doesn't clutter chart)
- Pulsing Bar: ON (quick assessment)
- Signal Highlights: ON
Signals:
- Golden/Death Cross: ON
- STRONG Signals: ON
- Stop Loss: ON (1.0-1.5 ATR, R:R 1.5-2.0)
Scalping rules:
Trade only STRONG signals
Enter on bounce from Fast EMA
Tight stops (10-20 pips)
Quick take profit (+1R to +2R)
Don't hold through news
11. How to configure for long-term investing?
Settings for investing (D1-W1):
Base Multiplier: 20-30
Source: close
Fast: Phi Golden (Phi³ or Phi⁴)
Mid: e Natural (e²)
Slow: Pi Circular (3Pi or 4Pi)
Visualization:
- Gradient Clouds: ON
- Neon Glow: ON (Medium)
- Everything else - to taste
Signals:
- Golden/Death Cross: ON
- STRONG Signals: ON
- Stop Loss: OFF (use percentage stop)
Investing rules:
Enter only on STRONG signals
Hold while STRONG active (weeks/months)
Stop below Slow EMA or -10%
Take profit: by company targets or +50-100%
Ignore short-term pullbacks
12. What if indicator slows down chart?
Indicator is optimized, but if it slows:
Disable unnecessary visual effects:
Neon Glow: OFF (saves 8 plots)
Gradient Clouds: ON but low quality
Lambda Wave EMA: OFF (if not using)
Reduce number of active EMAs:
Sigma Composite: OFF
Lambda Wave: OFF
Leave only Phi, Pi, e, Delta
Simplify settings:
Pulsing Bar: OFF
Greek Labels: OFF
Info Table: smaller size
13. Can I use on different timeframes simultaneously?
Yes! Multi-timeframe analysis is very powerful:
Classic scheme:
Higher TF (D1, W1) - determine global trend
Wait for STRONG signal
This is our trading direction
Middle TF (H4, H1) - look for confirmation
STRONG signal in same direction
Precise entry zone
Lower TF (M15, M5) - entry point
Golden Cross or bounce from Fast EMA
Precise stop loss
Example:
W1: STRONG BUY active (global uptrend)
H4: STRONG BUY appeared (confirmation)
M15: Wait for Golden Cross or bounce from Fast EMA → ENTRY
Advantages:
Maximum reliability
Clear timeframe hierarchy
Large targets
14. How does indicator work on news?
Delta Adaptive EMA adapts excellently to news:
Before news:
Low volatility → Delta EMA becomes fast → pulls to price
During news:
Sharp volatility spike → Delta EMA slows → filters noise
After news:
Volatility normalizes → Delta EMA returns to normal
Recommendations:
Don't trade at news release moment (spreads widen)
Wait for STRONG signal after news (2-5 bars)
Use Delta Adaptive as Fast EMA for quick reaction
Widen stops by 50-100% during important news
Advanced Techniques
Technique 1: "Divergences with EMA"
Idea: Look for discrepancies between price and Fast EMA
Bullish divergence:
Price makes lower low
Fast EMA makes higher low
= Possible reversal up
Bearish divergence:
Price makes higher high
Fast EMA makes lower high
= Possible reversal down
How to trade:
Find divergence
Wait for STRONG signal in divergence direction
Enter on confirmation
Technique 2: "EMA Tunnel"
Idea: Use space between Fast and Slow EMA as "tunnel"
Rules:
Wide tunnel - strong trend, hold position
Narrow tunnel - weak trend or consolidation, caution
Tunnel narrowing - trend weakening, prepare to exit
Tunnel widening - trend strengthening, can add
Visually: Gradient Clouds show this automatically!
Trading:
Enter on STRONG signal (tunnel starts widening)
Hold while tunnel wide
Exit when tunnel starts narrowing
Technique 3: "Wave Analysis with Lambda"
Idea: Lambda Wave EMA creates sinusoid matching market cycles
Setup:
Lambda Base Period: 30
Lambda Wave Amplitude: 0.5
Lambda Wave Frequency: 50 (adjusted to asset cycle)
How to find correct Frequency:
Look at historical cycles (distance between local highs)
Average distance = your Frequency
Example: if highs every 40-60 bars, set Frequency = 50
Trading:
Enter when Lambda Wave at bottom of sinusoid (growth potential)
Exit when Lambda Wave at top (fall potential)
Combine with STRONG signals
Technique 4: "Cluster Analysis"
Idea: When all EMAs gather in narrow cluster = powerful breakout soon
Cluster signs:
All EMAs (Phi, Pi, e, Delta) within 0.5-1% of each other
Gradient Clouds almost invisible
Price jumping around all EMAs
Trading:
Identify cluster (all EMAs close)
Determine breakout direction (where more volume, higher TFs direction)
Wait for breakout and STRONG signal
Enter on confirmation
Target = cluster size × 3-5
This is very powerful technique for big moves!
Technique 5: "Sigma as Dynamic Level"
Idea: Sigma Composite EMA = average of all EMAs = magnetic level
Usage:
Enable Sigma Composite (Weighted Average)
Sigma works as dynamic support/resistance
Price often returns to Sigma before trend continuation
Trading:
In trend: Enter on bounces from Sigma
In range: Fade moves from Sigma (trade return to Sigma)
On breakout: Sigma becomes support/resistance
Risk Management

Trading Psychology
Correct Mindset
1. Indicator is a tool, not holy grail
Indicator shows probability, not guarantee
There will be losing trades - this is normal
Important is series statistics, not one trade
2. Trust the system
If STRONG signal appeared - enter
Don't search for "perfect" moment
Follow trading plan
3. Patience
STRONG signals don't appear every day
Better miss signal than enter against trend
Quality over quantity
4. Discipline
Always set stop loss
Don't move stop against position
Don't increase risk after losses
Beginner Mistakes
1. "I know better than indicator"
Indicator says STRONG BUY, but you think "too high, will wait for pullback"
Result: miss profitable move
Solution: Trust signals or don't use indicator
2. "Will reverse now for sure"
Trading against STRONG trend
Result: stops, stops, stops
Solution: Trend is your friend, trade with trend
3. "Will hold a bit more"
Don't exit when STRONG signal disappears
Greed eats profit
Solution: If signal gone - exit!
4. "I'll recover"
After losses double risk
Result: huge losses
Solution: Fixed % risk ALWAYS
5. "I don't like this signal"
Skip signals because of "feeling"
Result: inconsistency, no statistics
Solution: Trade ALL signals or clearly define filters

Offset
Option to hide on daily or higher timeframes
MA100: 100-period Simple Moving Average
EMA100: 100-period Exponential Moving Average
Purpose:
This script is ideal for traders who want to track multiple VWAP levels simultaneously while also monitoring the 100-period moving averages for trend analysis. It provides a clean setup without bands or fills, focusing solely on price averages.
Use Cases:
Identify intraday or multi-timeframe VWAP levels
Combine VWAP levels with MA100/EMA100 for support/resistance analysis
Analyze trend direction and momentum using moving averages
Multi-Symbol EMA Crossover Scanner with Multi-Timeframe AnalysisDescription
What This Indicator Does:
This indicator is a comprehensive market scanner that monitors up to 10 symbols simultaneously across 4 different timeframes (15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily) to detect exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers in real-time. Instead of manually checking multiple charts and timeframes for EMA crossover signals, this scanner automatically does the work for you and presents all detected signals in a clean, organized table that updates continuously throughout the trading session.
Key Features:
Multi-Symbol Monitoring: Scan up to 10 different symbols at once (stocks, forex, crypto, or any TradingView symbol)
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously tracks 4 timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H, 1D) with toggle options to enable/disable each
Comprehensive EMA Pairs: Detects crossovers between all major EMA combinations: 20×50, 20×100, 20×200, 50×100, 50×200, and 100×200
Real-Time Signal Feed: Displays the most recent signals in a sorted table (newest first) with timestamp, direction, price, and EMA pair information
Session Filter: Built-in time filter (default 10:00-18:00) to focus on specific trading hours and avoid pre-market/after-hours noise
Pagination System: Navigate through signals using a page selector when you have more signals than fit in one view
Signal Statistics: Footer displays total signals, bullish/bearish breakdown, and page navigation hints
Customizable Display: Choose table position (4 corners), signals per page (5-20), and maximum signal history (10-100)
How It Works:
The scanner uses the request.security() function to fetch EMA data from multiple symbols and timeframes simultaneously. For each symbol-timeframe combination, it calculates four exponential moving averages (20, 50, 100, and 200 periods) and monitors for crossovers:
Bullish Crossovers (▲ Green):
Faster EMA crosses above slower EMA
Indicates potential upward momentum
Common entry signals for long positions
Bearish Crossovers (▼ Red):
Faster EMA crosses below slower EMA
Indicates potential downward momentum
Common entry signals for short positions or exits
The scanner prioritizes crossovers involving faster EMAs (20×50) over slower ones (100×200), as faster crossovers typically generate more frequent signals. Each detected crossover is stored with its timestamp, allowing the scanner to sort signals chronologically and remove duplicates within the same timeframe.
Signal Table Columns:
Sym: Symbol name (abbreviated, e.g., "ASELS" instead of "BIST:ASELS")
TF: Timeframe where the crossover occurred (15m, 1h, 4h, 1D)
⏰: Exact time of the crossover (HH:MM format in Istanbul timezone)
↕: Direction indicator (▲ bullish green / ▼ bearish red)
₺: Price level where the crossover occurred (average of the two EMAs)
MA: Which EMA pair crossed (e.g., "20×50", "50×200")
How to Use:
For Day Traders:
Enable 15m and 1h timeframes
Monitor symbols from your watchlist
Use crossovers as entry timing signals in the direction of the larger trend
Adjust the time filter to match your trading session (e.g., market open to 2 hours before close)
For Swing Traders:
Enable 4h and 1D timeframes
Focus on 50×200 and 100×200 crossovers (golden/death crosses)
Look for multiple timeframe confluence (same symbol showing bullish crossovers on both 4h and 1D)
Use as a pre-market scanner to identify potential setups for the day
For Multi-Market Traders:
Mix symbols from different markets (stocks, forex, crypto)
Use the scanner to identify which markets are showing the most momentum
Track relative strength by comparing crossover frequency across symbols
Identify rotation opportunities when one asset shows bullish signals while another shows bearish
Setup Recommendations:
Default BIST (Turkish Stock Market) Setup:
The code comes pre-configured with 10 popular BIST stocks:
ASELS, EKGYO, THYAO, AKBNK, PGSUS, ASTOR, OTKAR, ALARK, ISCTR, BIMAS
For US Stocks:
Replace with symbols like: NASDAQ:AAPL, NASDAQ:TSLA, NASDAQ:NVDA, NYSE:JPM, etc.
For Forex:
Use pairs like: FX:EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD, FX:USDJPY, OANDA:XAUUSD, etc.
For Crypto:
Use exchanges like: BINANCE:BTCUSDT, COINBASE:ETHUSD, BINANCE:SOLUSDT, etc.
Settings Guide:
Symbol List (10 inputs):
Enter any valid TradingView symbol in "EXCHANGE:TICKER" format
Use symbols you actively trade or monitor
Mix different asset classes if desired
Timeframe Toggles:
15 Minutes: High-frequency signals, best for day trading
1 Hour: Balanced frequency, good for intraday swing trades
4 Hours: Lower frequency, quality swing trade signals
1 Day: Low frequency, major trend changes only
Time Filter:
Start Hour (10): Beginning of your trading session
End Hour (18): End of your trading session
Prevents signals during low-liquidity periods
Adjust to match your market's active hours
Display Settings:
Table Position: Choose corner placement (doesn't interfere with other indicators)
Max Signals (40): Total historical signals to keep in memory
Signals Per Page (10): How many rows to show at once
Page Number: Navigate through signal history (auto-adjusts to available pages)
What Makes This Original:
Multi-symbol scanners exist on TradingView, but this indicator's originality comes from:
Comprehensive EMA Pair Coverage: Most scanners focus on 1-2 EMA pairs, this monitors 6 different combinations simultaneously
Unified Multi-Timeframe View: Presents signals from 4 timeframes in a single, chronologically sorted feed rather than separate panels
Session-Aware Filtering: Built-in time filter prevents signal overload from 24-hour markets
Smart Pagination: Handles large signal volumes gracefully with page navigation instead of scrolling
Signal Deduplication: Prevents the same crossover from appearing multiple times if it persists across several bars
Price-at-Cross Recording: Captures the exact price where the crossover occurred, not just that it happened
Real-Time Statistics: Live tracking of bullish vs bearish signal distribution
Trading Strategy Examples:
Trend Confirmation Strategy:
Find a symbol showing bullish crossover on 1D (major trend change)
Wait for pullback
Enter when 1h shows bullish crossover (confirmation)
Exit when 1h shows bearish crossover
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
Look for symbols appearing multiple times with same direction
Example: ASELS shows ▲ on both 4h and 1D = strong bullish signal
Avoid symbols showing conflicting signals (▲ on 1h but ▼ on 4h)
Rotation Scanner:
Monitor 10+ symbols from the same sector
Identify which are turning bullish (▲) first
Enter leaders, avoid laggards
Rotate out when crossovers turn bearish (▼)
Important Considerations:
Not a Complete System: EMA crossovers should be confirmed with price action, volume, and support/resistance analysis
Whipsaw Risk: During consolidation, EMAs can cross back and forth frequently (especially on 15m timeframe)
Lag: EMAs are lagging indicators; crossovers occur after the move has already begun
False Signals: More common during sideways markets; work best in trending environments
Symbol Limits: TradingView has limits on request.security() calls; this scanner uses 40 calls (10 symbols × 4 timeframes)
Performance: On lower-end devices, scanning 10 symbols across 4 timeframes may cause slight delays in chart updates
Best Practices:
Start with 5 symbols and 2 timeframes, then expand as you get comfortable
Use in conjunction with a main chart for price context
Don't trade every signal—filter for high-quality setups
Backtest your favorite EMA pairs on your symbols to understand their reliability
Adjust the time filter to exclude lunch hours if your market has low midday volume
Check the footer statistics—if you're getting 50+ signals per day, tighten your time filter or reduce symbols
Technical Notes:
Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent future data leakage
Signals are stored in arrays and sorted by timestamp (newest first)
Automatic daily reset clears old signals to prevent memory buildup
Table dynamically resizes based on signal count
All times displayed in Europe/Istanbul timezone (configurable in code)

VWAP Trend
**Overview**
The VWAP Trend indicator is a volume-weighted price analysis tool that visualizes the relationship between price and the anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over different timeframes. This script is designed to reveal when the market is trending above or below its volume-weighted equilibrium point, providing a clear framework for identifying directional bias, trend strength, and potential reversals.
By combining an anchored VWAP with exponential smoothing and a secondary trend EMA, the indicator helps traders distinguish between short-term price fluctuations and genuine volume-supported directional moves.
**Core Concept**
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents the average price of an asset weighted by traded volume. It reflects where the majority of trading activity has taken place within a chosen period, serving as a critical reference level for institutions and professional traders.
This indicator extends the traditional VWAP concept by:
1. Allowing users to **anchor VWAP to different timeframes** (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
2. Applying **smoothing** to create a stable reference curve less prone to noise.
3. Overlaying a **trend EMA** to identify whether current price momentum aligns with or diverges from VWAP equilibrium.
The combination of these elements produces a visual representation of price’s relationship to its fair value across time, helping to identify accumulation and distribution phases.
**Calculation Methodology**
1. **Anchored VWAP Calculation:**
The script resets cumulative volume and cumulative volume–price data at the start of each new VWAP session (based on the selected anchor timeframe). It continuously accumulates the product of price and volume, dividing this by total volume to compute the current VWAP value.
2. **Smoothing Process:**
The raw VWAP line is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of user-defined length, producing a cleaner, more stable trend curve that minimizes intraperiod noise.
3. **Trend Determination:**
An additional EMA is calculated on the closing price. By comparing the position of this EMA to the smoothed VWAP, the indicator determines the prevailing market bias:
* When the trend EMA is above the smoothed VWAP, the market is considered to be in an **uptrend**.
* When the trend EMA is below the smoothed VWAP, the market is classified as a **downtrend**.
**Visual Structure**
The indicator uses color dynamics and chart overlays to make interpretation intuitive:
* **Smoothed VWAP Line:** The main trend reference, colored blue during bullish conditions and orange during bearish conditions.
* **Price Fill Region:** The area between the smoothed VWAP and price is filled with a translucent color matching the current trend, visually representing whether price is trading above or below equilibrium.
* **Trend EMA (implicit):** Although not separately plotted, it drives the color state of the VWAP, ensuring seamless visual transitions between bullish and bearish conditions.
**Inputs and Parameters**
* **VWAP Timeframe:** Choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly anchoring. This determines the reset frequency for cumulative volume and price data.
* **VWAP Smoothing Length:** Defines how many periods are used to smooth the VWAP line. Shorter values produce a more reactive line; longer values create smoother, steadier signals.
* **Trend EMA Length:** Sets the period for the trend detection EMA applied to price. Adjust this to calibrate how quickly the indicator reacts to directional changes.
**Interpretation and Use Cases**
* **Trend Confirmation:** When price and the trend EMA both remain above the smoothed VWAP, the market is showing strong bullish control. Conversely, consistent price action below the VWAP suggests sustained bearish sentiment.
* **Fair Value Assessment:** VWAP serves as a dynamic equilibrium level. Price repeatedly reverting to this line indicates consolidation or fair value zones, while strong directional moves away from VWAP highlight momentum phases.
* **Institutional Benchmarking:** Because large market participants often benchmark entries and exits relative to VWAP, this indicator helps align retail analysis with institutional logic.
* **Reversal Detection:** Sudden crossovers of the trend EMA relative to the VWAP can signal potential reversals or shifts in momentum strength.
**Trading Applications**
* **Trend Following:** Use VWAP’s direction and color state to determine trade bias. Long entries are favored when the VWAP turns blue, while short entries align with orange phases.
* **Mean Reversion:** In ranging conditions, traders may look for price deviations far above or below VWAP as potential reversion opportunities.
* **Multi-Timeframe Confluence:** Combine the Daily VWAP Trend with higher anchor periods (e.g., Weekly or Monthly) to confirm larger trend structure.
* **Support and Resistance Mapping:** VWAP often acts as a strong intraday or session-level support/resistance zone. The smoothed version refines this behavior into a cleaner, more reliable reference.
**Originality and Innovation**
The VWAP Trend indicator stands apart from conventional VWAP scripts through several original features:
1. **Anchor Flexibility:** Most VWAP indicators fix the anchor to a specific session (like daily). This version allows switching between Daily, Weekly, and Monthly anchors dynamically, adapting to various trading styles and time horizons.
2. **Volume-Weighted Smoothing:** The use of an EMA smoothing layer over the raw VWAP provides enhanced stability without compromising responsiveness, delivering a more analytically consistent signal.
3. **EMA-Based Trend Comparison:** By introducing a second trend EMA, the indicator creates a comparative framework that merges volume-weighted price analysis with classical momentum tracking — a rare and powerful combination.
4. **Adaptive Visual System:** The color-shifting and shaded fill between VWAP and price are integrated into a single, lightweight structure, giving traders immediate insight into market bias without the clutter of multiple overlapping indicators.
**Advantages**

NEXT GEN INSPIRED BY OLIVER VELEZDYOR NFA
1. Initial Setup & Application
Load the Strategy to your desired chart (e.g., EURUSD M5, as suggested by the script's backtest).
Overlay: Ensure the script is set to overlay=true (which it is) so the signals and Moving Averages plot directly on the price chart.
Equity Management: Review the initial strategy settings for capital and position sizing:
Initial Capital: Defaults to 10,000.
Default Qty Type: Set to strategy.percent_of_equity (22%), meaning 22% of your available equity is used per trade. Adjust this percentage based on your personal risk tolerance.
2. Reviewing Key Indicator Inputs
The script uses default values that are optimized, but you can adjust them in the settings panel:
Fast EMA: Defaults to 9 (e.g., a 9-period Exponential Moving Average).
Slow EMA: Defaults to 21 (e.g., a 21-period Exponential Moving Average). These EMAs define the short-term trend.
ATR: Defaults to 14 (Average True Range). Used to dynamically calculate volatility for SL/TP distances.
Final R:R: Defaults to 4.5 (minimum R:R required for a signal). This is the core of the strategy's high reward goal.
3. Interpreting Entry Signals
A trade signal is generated only when all conditions—EMA trend, "Elephant Logic" momentum, and non-ranging market—are met.
Long Signal: Appears as a green triangle (▲) below the bar, labeled "COMBO".
Short Signal: Appears as a red triangle (▼) above the bar, labeled "COMBO".
Live Plan: Upon signal, a detailed label is immediately plotted on the chart showing the FULL BATTLE PLAN:
SL: Calculated Stop Loss price.
TP: Calculated Take Profit price (based on the Final R:R).
Risk/Reward Pips: The calculated pips for the trade's risk and reward.
R:R = 1:4.5: The exact Risk-to-Reward ratio.
4. Understanding Market Conditions & Visuals
The script provides visuals to help you understand the current market state:
Trend EMAs: The 9 EMA (green) and 21 EMA (purple/magenta) are plotted to show the underlying trend.
Long trades only fire when Price > 9 EMA > 21 EMA.
Short trades only fire when Price < 9 EMA < 21 EMA.
Ranging Market (Rejection): Bars turn a light gray/silver when the proprietary "Reject Ranging" logic is active, indicating a low-volatility period. No new trades will be taken during these bars.
Momentum Bar: Bars turn a gold/yellow color when the "Elephant Logic" (high-momentum, large-body candles over 2-3 periods) is detected, highlighting powerful price movement.
5. Execution and Exit Logic
The strategy handles entry, scaling, and exit automatically:
Entry: A market order is placed (strategy.entry) immediately upon the bar where the longSetup or shortSetup condition is met.
Scaling Out (+1R): If the trade moves favorably by an amount equal to the initial risk (1R), the script closes a portion of the position (strategy.close with comment "+1R"). This partial exit locks in profit equivalent to the initial risk.
Re-entry (Pyramiding): After the +1R exit, the strategy attempts a re-entry (LONG RE/SHORT RE diamond plot) if the price meets certain criteria near the 9 EMA, trying to capitalize on further trend continuation.
Final Exits:
Take Profit: A limit order is set at the calculated TP level (stopDist * minRR).
Stop Loss: A stop order is set at the calculated SL level (stopDist * 1.3), slightly wider than the initial SL distance, likely to account for spread/slippage, ensuring the maximum loss is defined.
Trailing Stop: A trailing stop is applied to the re-entry positions (LONG RE/SHORT RE) to protect profits as the market moves further in the direction of the trade.

Realtime Squeeze Box [CHE] Realtime Squeeze Box — Detects lowvolatility consolidation periods and draws trimmed price range boxes in realtime to highlight potential breakout setups without clutter from outliers.
Summary
This indicator identifies "squeeze" phases where recent price volatility falls below a dynamic baseline threshold, signaling potential energy buildup for directional moves. By requiring a minimum number of consecutive bars in squeeze, it reduces noise from fleeting dips, making signals more reliable than simple threshold crosses. The core innovation is realtime box visualization: during active squeezes, it builds and updates a box capturing the price range while ignoring extreme values via quantile trimming, providing a cleaner view of consolidation bounds. This differs from static volatility bands by focusing on trimmed ranges and suppressing overlapping boxes, which helps traders spot genuine setups amid choppy markets. Overall, it aids in anticipating breakouts by combining volatility filtering with visual containment of price action.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face whipsaws during brief volatility lulls that mimic true consolidations, leading to premature entries, or miss setups because standard volatility measures lag in adapting to changing market regimes. This design addresses that by using a hold requirement on consecutive lowvolatility bars to denoise signals, ensuring only sustained squeezes trigger visuals. The core idea—comparing rolling standard deviation to a smoothed baseline—creates a responsive yet stable filter for lowenergy periods, while the trimmed box approach isolates the core price cluster, making it easier to gauge breakout potential without distortion from spikes.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional squeeze indicators like the Bollinger Band Squeeze or TTM Squeeze rely on fixed multiples of bands or momentum oscillators crossing zero, which can fire on isolated bars or ignore range compression nuances.
Architecture differences:
Realtime box construction that updates barbybar during squeezes, using arrays to track and trim price values.
Quantilebased outlier rejection to define box bounds, focusing on the bulk of prices rather than full range.
Overlap suppression logic that skips redundant boxes if the new range intersects heavily with the prior one.
Hold counter for consecutive bar validation, adding persistence before signaling.
Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more defined orange boxes encapsulating tight price action, with a horizontal line extension marking the midpoint postsqueeze—visibly reducing clutter in sideways markets and highlighting "coiled" ranges that standard plots might blur with full highs/lows. This matters for quicker visual scanning of multitimeframe setups, as boxes selflimit to recent history and avoid piling up.
How it works (technical)
The indicator starts by computing a rolling average and standard deviation over a userdefined length on the chosen source price series. This deviation measure is then smoothed into a baseline using either a simple or exponential average over a longer window, serving as a reference for normal volatility. A squeeze triggers when the current deviation dips below this baseline scaled by a multiplier less than one, but only after a minimum number of consecutive bars confirm it, which resets the counter on breaks.
Upon squeeze start, it clears a buffer and begins collecting source prices barbybar, limited to the first few bars to keep computation light. For visualization, if enabled, it sorts the buffer and finds a quantile threshold, then identifies the minimum value at or below that threshold to set upper and lower box bounds—effectively clamping the range to exclude tails above the quantile. The box draws from the start bar to the current one, updating its right edge and levels dynamically; if the new bounds overlap significantly with the last completed box, it suppresses drawing to avoid redundancy.
Once the hold limit or squeeze ends, the box freezes: its final bounds become the last reference, a midpoint line extends rightward from the end, and a tiny circle label marks the point. Buffers and states reset on new squeezes, with historical boxes and lines capped to prevent overload. All logic runs on every bar but uses confirmed historical data for calculations, with realtime updates only affecting the active box's position—no future peeking occurs. Initialization seeds with null values, building states progressively from the first bars.
Parameter Guide
Source: Selects the price series (e.g., close, hl2) for deviation and box building; influences sensitivity to wicks or bodies. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use hl2 for balanced range view in volatile assets; stick to close for pure directional focus—test on your timeframe to avoid oversmoothing trends.
Length (Mean/SD): Sets window for average and deviation calculation; shorter values make detection quicker but noisier. Default: 20. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 30+ for stability in higher timeframes, reducing false starts; below 10 risks overreacting to singlebar noise.
Baseline Length: Defines smoothing window for the deviation baseline; longer periods create a steadier reference, filtering regime shifts. Default: 50. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with Length at 1:2 ratio for calm markets; shorten to 30 if baselines lag during fast volatility drops, but watch for added whips.
Squeeze Multiplier (<1.0): Scales the baseline downward to set the squeeze threshold; lower values tighten criteria for rarer, stronger signals. Default: 0.8. Tradeoffs/Tips: Tighten to 0.6 for highvol assets like crypto to cut noise; loosen to 0.9 in forex for more frequent but shallower setups—balances hit rate vs. depth.
Baseline via EMA (instead of SMA): Switches baseline smoothing to exponential for faster adaptation to recent changes vs. equalweighted simple average. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable in trending markets for quicker baseline drops; disable for uniform history weighting in rangebound conditions to avoid overreacting.
SD: Sample (len1) instead of Population (len): Adjusts deviation formula to divide by length minus one for smallsample bias correction, slightly inflating values. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use sample in short windows (<20) for more conservative thresholds; population suits long looks where bias is negligible, keeping signals tighter.
Min. Hold Bars in Squeeze: Requires this many consecutive squeeze bars before confirming; higher denoise but may clip early setups. Default: 1. Tradeoffs/Tips: Bump to 35 for intraday to filter ticks; keep at 1 for swings where quick consolidations matter—trades off timeliness for reliability.
Debug: Plot SD & Threshold: Toggles lines showing raw deviation and threshold for visual backtesting of squeeze logic. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable during tuning to eyeball crossovers; disable live to declutter—great for verifying multiplier impact without alerts.
Tint Bars when Squeeze Active: Overlays semitransparent color on bars during open box phases for quick squeeze spotting. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with low opacity for subtlety; turn off if using boxes alone, as tint can obscure candlesticks in dense charts.
Tint Opacity (0..100): Controls background tint strength during active squeezes; higher values darken for emphasis. Default: 85. Tradeoffs/Tips: Dial to 60 for light touch; max at 100 risks hiding price action—adjust per chart theme for visibility.
Stored Price (during Squeeze): Price series captured in the buffer for box bounds; defaults to source but allows customization. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Switch to high/low for wider boxes in gappy markets; keep close for midline focus—impacts trim effectiveness on outliers.
Quantile q (0..1): Fraction of sorted prices below which tails are cut; higher q keeps more data but risks including spikes. Default: 0.718. Tradeoffs/Tips: Lower to 0.5 for aggressive trim in noisy assets; raise to 0.8 for fuller ranges—tune via debug to match your consolidation depth.
Box Fill Color: Sets interior shade of squeeze boxes; semitransparent for layering. Default: orange (80% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Soften with more transparency in multiindicator setups; bold for standalone use—ensures boxes pop without overwhelming.
Box Border Color: Defines outline hue and solidity for box edges. Default: orange (0% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Match fill for cohesion or contrast for edges; thin width keeps it clean—helps delineate bounds in zoomed views.
Keep Last N Boxes: Limits historical boxes/lines/labels to this count, deleting oldest for performance. Default: 10. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 50 for weekly reviews; set to 0 for unlimited (risks lag)—balances history vs. speed on long charts.
Draw Box in Realtime (build/update): Enables live extension of boxes during squeezes vs. waiting for end. Default: true. Tradeoffs/Tips: Disable for confirmedonly views to mimic backtests; enable for proactive trading—adds minor repaint on live bars.
Box: Max First N Bars: Caps buffer collection to initial squeeze bars, freezing after for efficiency. Default: 15. Tradeoffs/Tips: Shorten to 510 for fast intraday; extend to 20 in dailies—prevents bloated arrays but may truncate long squeezes.
Reading & Interpretation
Squeeze phases appear as orange boxes encapsulating the trimmed price cluster during lowvolatility holds—narrow boxes signal tight consolidations, while wider ones indicate looser ranges within the threshold. The box's top and bottom represent the quantilecapped high and low of collected prices, with the interior fill shading the containment zone; ignore extremes outside for "true" bounds. Postsqueeze, a solid horizontal line extends right from the box's midpoint, acting as a reference level for potential breakout tests—drifting prices toward or away from it can hint at building momentum. Tiny orange circles at the line's start mark completion points for easy scanning. Debug lines (if on) show deviation hugging or crossing the threshold, confirming hold logic; a persistent hug below suggests prolonged calm, while spikes above reset counters.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter long on squeezeend close above the box top (or midpoint line) confirmed by higher high in structure; filter with rising 50period average to avoid countertrend traps. Use boxes as support/resistance proxies—short below bottom in downtrends.
Exits/Stops: Trail stops to the box midpoint during postsqueeze runs for conservative holds; go aggressive by exiting on retest of opposite box side. If debug shows repeated threshold grazes, tighten stops to curb drawdowns in ranging followups.
Multiasset/MultiTF: Defaults work across stocks, forex, and crypto on 15min+ frames; scale Length proportionally (e.g., x2 on hourly). Layer with highertimeframe boxes for confluence—e.g., daily squeeze + 1H box for entry timing. (Unknown/Optional: Specific multiTF scaling recipes beyond proportional adjustment.)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Core calculations use historical closes, confirming on bar close; active boxes repaint their right edge and levels live during squeezes if enabled, but freeze irrevocably on hold limit or end—mitigates via barbybar buffer adds without future leaks. No lookahead indexes.
security()/HTF: None used, so no external timeframe repaints; all native to chart resolution.
Resources: Caps at 300 boxes/lines/labels total; small arrays (up to 20 elements) and short loops in sorting/minfinding keep it light—suitable for 10k+ bar charts without throttling. Persistent variables track state across bars efficiently.
Known limits: May lag on ultrasharp volatility spikes due to baseline smoothing; gaps or thin markets can skew trims if buffer hits cap early; overlaps suppress visuals but might hide chained squeezes—(Unknown/Optional: Edge cases in nonstandard sessions).
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for most liquid assets on 1Hdaily: Length 20, Multiplier 0.8, Hold 1, Quantile 0.718—yields balanced detection without excess noise. For too many false starts (choppy charts), increase Hold to 3 and Baseline Length to 70 for stricter confirmation, reducing signals by 3050%. If squeezes feel sluggish or miss quick coils, shorten Length to 14 and enable EMA baseline for snappier adaptation, but monitor for added flips. In highvol environments like options, tighten Multiplier to 0.6 and Quantile to 0.6 to focus on core ranges; reverse for calm pairs by loosening to 0.95. Always backtest tweaks on your asset's history.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a volatilityfiltered visualization tool for spotting and bounding consolidation phases, best as a signal layer atop price action and trend filters—not a standalone predictor of direction or strength. It highlights setups but ignores volume, momentum, or news context, so pair with discreteness rules like higher highs/lows. Never use it alone for entries; always layer risk management, such as 12% stops beyond box extremes, and position sizing based on account drawdown tolerance.

Volume Weighted Linear Regression BandThe Volume-Weighted Linear Regression Band (VWLRBd) is a volatility channel that uses a Linear Regression line as its dynamic baseline. Its primary feature is the decomposition of total volatility into two distinct components, visualized as layered bands.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): The indicator functions as a standard (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression Channel. It plots a single set of bands based on the standard deviation of the residuals (the error between the Source price and the regression line).
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used for the regression). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'residual' (trend noise) volatility, calculated proportionally.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of residual and within-bar components).
Regression Baseline (Linear / Exponential): The central line is a (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression curve. An optional 'Normalize' mode performs all calculations in logarithmic space, transforming the baseline into an Exponential Regression Curve and the bands into constant percentage deviations, suitable for analyzing growth assets.
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the regression baseline and the volatility decomposition, giving more influence to high-participation bars.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central regression line and the outermost calculated volatility band.

LibWghtLibrary "LibWght"
This is a library of mathematical and statistical functions
designed for quantitative analysis in Pine Script. Its core
principle is the integration of a custom weighting series
(e.g., volume) into a wide array of standard technical
analysis calculations.
Key Capabilities:
1. **Universal Weighting:** All exported functions accept a `weight`
parameter. This allows standard calculations (like moving
averages, RSI, and standard deviation) to be influenced by an
external data series, such as volume or tick count.
2. **Weighted Averages and Indicators:** Includes a comprehensive
collection of weighted functions:
- **Moving Averages:** `wSma`, `wEma`, `wWma`, `wRma` (Wilder's),
`wHma` (Hull), and `wLSma` (Least Squares / Linear Regression).
- **Oscillators & Ranges:** `wRsi`, `wAtr` (Average True Range),
`wTr` (True Range), and `wR` (High-Low Range).
3. **Volatility Decomposition:** Provides functions to decompose
total variance into distinct components for market analysis.
- **Two-Way Decomposition (`wTotVar`):** Separates variance into
**between-bar** (directional) and **within-bar** (noise)
components.
- **Three-Way Decomposition (`wLRTotVar`):** Decomposes variance
relative to a linear regression into **Trend** (explained by
the LR slope), **Residual** (mean-reversion around the
LR line), and **Within-Bar** (noise) components.
- **Local Volatility (`wLRLocTotStdDev`):** Measures the total
"noise" (within-bar + residual) around the trend line.
4. **Weighted Statistics and Regression:** Provides a robust
function for Weighted Linear Regression (`wLinReg`) and a
full suite of related statistical measures:
- **Between-Bar Stats:** `wBtwVar`, `wBtwStdDev`, `wBtwStdErr`.
- **Residual Stats:** `wResVar`, `wResStdDev`, `wResStdErr`.
5. **Fallback Mechanism:** All functions are designed for reliability.
If the total weight over the lookback period is zero (e.g., in
a no-volume period), the algorithms automatically fall back to
their unweighted, uniform-weight equivalents (e.g., `wSma`
becomes a standard `ta.sma`), preventing errors and ensuring
continuous calculation.

DSS Bressert by MaxCapDSS Bressert by MaxCap is an enhanced version of the Double Smoothed Stochastic (DSS) oscillator, originally developed by Robert Bressert.
It is designed to identify overbought/oversold market conditions and detect momentum shifts using a double-smoothing stochastic calculation.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
This indicator applies a two-stage stochastic calculation with double exponential smoothing to reduce noise and provide smoother trend signals.
1. Phase 1 (MIT):
A standard stochastic is calculated over the selected Stochastic_period, measuring the current close relative to the high-low range.
This value is then smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA).
2. Phase 2 (DSS):
A second stochastic is applied on the smoothed MIT line using the same stochastic period, followed by another EMA smoothing step.
The result is a smooth and responsive momentum oscillator that filters out market noise.
This double-smoothing technique allows DSS to remain responsive to price changes while avoiding false reversals that are common with the traditional stochastic.
⸻
🎨 Visualization
• The orange line represents the main DSS value.
• Blue dots appear when DSS is rising (bullish momentum).
• Red dots appear when DSS is falling (bearish momentum).
• The horizontal levels 20 and 80 mark oversold and overbought zones, respectively.
⸻
🧠 Signal Interpretation
• DSS > 80: Overbought zone — possible downward reversal.
• DSS < 20: Oversold zone — possible upward rebound.
• DSS rising after crossing above 20: Bullish signal.
• DSS falling after crossing below 80: Bearish signal.
• Color change (blue ↔ red) may indicate a momentum shift.

Uptrick: Volume Weighted BandsIntroduction
This indicator, Uptrick: Volume Weighted Bands, overlays dynamic, volume-informed trend channels directly on the chart. By fusing price and volume data through volume-weighted and exponential moving averages, the script forms a core trend line with adaptive bandwidth controlled by volatility. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, breakout entries, and extended conditions that may warrant take-profits or pullback re-entries.
Overview
The Volume Weighted Bands system is built around a trend line calculated by averaging a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), both over a configurable lookback period. This hybrid trend baseline is then smoothed further and expanded into dynamic upper and lower bands using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier. These bands adapt with market volatility and shift color based on prevailing price action, helping traders quickly identify bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Originality and Unique Features
This script introduces originality by blending both price and volume in the core trend calculation, a technique that is more responsive than traditional moving average bands. Its multi-mode visualization (cloud, single-band, or line-only), combined with selective buy/sell signals, makes it flexible for discretionary and algorithmic strategies alike. Optional modules for take-profit signals based on z-score deviation and RSI slope, as well as buy-back detection logic with cooldown filters, offer practical tools for managing trades beyond simple entries.
Explanation of Inputs
Every user input in this script is included to give the trader control over behavior and visual presentation:
Trend Length (len): Defines the lookback window for both the VWMA and EMA, controlling the sensitivity of the core trend baseline. A lower value makes the bands more reactive, while a higher value smooths out short-term noise.
Extra Smoothing (smoothLen): Applies an additional EMA to the blended VWMA/EMA average. This second-level smoothing ensures the central trend line reacts gradually to shifts in price.
Band Width (ATR Multiplier) (bandMult): Multiplies the ATR to create the width of the upper and lower bands around the trend line. Larger values widen the bands, capturing more volatility, while smaller values narrow them.
ATR Length (atrLen): Sets the length of the ATR used in calculating band width and signal offsets. Longer values produce smoother band boundaries.
Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles the primary crossover/crossunder entry signals, which are labeled when the close crosses the upper or lower band.
Visual Mode (visualMode): Allows selection between three display modes:
--> Cloud: Shows both bands and the central trend line with a shaded background.
--> Single Band: Displays only the active (upper or lower) band depending on trend state, with gradient fill to price.
--> Line Only: Shows only the trend line for a minimal visual profile.
Take Profit Signals (enableTP): Enables a z-score-based profit-taking signal system. Signals occur when price deviates significantly from the trend line and RSI confirms exhaustion.
TP Z-Score Threshold (tpThreshold): Sets the z-score deviation required to trigger a take-profit signal. Higher values reduce the frequency of signals, focusing on more extreme moves.
Re-Entries (enableBuyBack): Enables logic to signal when price reverts into the band after an initial breakout, suggesting a possible re-entry or pullback setup.
Buy Back Cooldown (bars) (buyBackCooldown): Defines a minimum bar count before a new buy-back signal is allowed, preventing rapid retriggering in choppy conditions.
Buy Offset and Sell Offset: Hidden inputs used to vertically adjust the placement of the Buy ("𝓤𝓹") and Sell ("𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷") labels relative to the bands. These use ATR units to maintain proportionality across different instruments and timeframes.
Take-Profit Signal Module
The take-profit module uses a z-score of the distance between price and the trend line to detect extended conditions. In bullish trends, a signal appears when price is well above the band and RSI indicates exhaustion; the opposite applies for bearish conditions. A boolean flag is used to prevent retriggering until RSI resets. These signals are plotted with minimalist “X” markers near recent highs or lows, based on whether the market is extended upward or downward.
Re-Entry Logic
The re-entry system identifies instances where price momentarily dips or spikes into the opposite band but closes back inside, implying a continuation of the prevailing trend. This module can be particularly useful for traders managing entries after brief pullbacks. A built-in cooldown period helps filter out noise and prevents signal overloading during fast markets. Visual markers are shown as upward or downward arrows near the relevant candle wicks.
How to Use This Indicator
The basic usage of this indicator follows a directional, signal-driven approach. When a buy signal appears, it suggests entering a long position. The recommended stop loss placement is below the lower band, allowing for some breathing space to accommodate natural volatility. As the position progresses, take partial profits—typically 10% to 15% of the position—each time a take-profit signal (marked with an "X") is shown on the chart.
An optional feature is the buy-back signal, which can be used to re-enter after partial exits or missed entries. Utilizing this can help reduce losses during false breakouts or trend reversals by scaling in more gradually. However, it also means that in strong, clean trends, the full position may not be captured from the start, potentially reducing the total return. It is up to the trader to decide whether to enter fully on the initial signal or incrementally using buy-backs.
When a sell signal appears, the strategy advises fully exiting any long positions and immediately switching to a short position. The short trade follows the same logic: place your stop loss above the upper band with some margin, and again, take partial profits at each take-profit signal.
Visual Presentation and Signal Labels
All signals are plotted with clean, minimal labels that avoid clutter, and are color-coded using a custom palette designed to remain clear across light and dark chart themes. Bullish trends are marked in teal and bearish trends in magenta. Candles and wicks are also colored accordingly to align price action with the detected trend state. Buy and sell entries are marked with "𝓤𝓹" and "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" labels.
Summary
In summary, the Uptrick: Volume Weighted Bands indicator provides a versatile, visually adaptive trend and volatility tool that can serve multiple styles of trading. Through its integration of price, volume, and volatility, along with modular take-profit and buy-back signaling, it aims to provide actionable structure across a range of market conditions.

SJ WaveTrendWaveTrend Indicator – Full English Brief for TradingView
Description:
The WaveTrend Oscillator (WT) is a momentum-based indicator originally developed by LazyBear, designed to identify overbought and oversold market conditions with high precision. It is conceptually similar to the RSI and Stochastic Oscillator but uses a wave-based mathematical approach to detect turning points in price action earlier and more smoothly.
⸻
🔍 How It Works
WaveTrend analyzes the difference between price and its moving average (typically the exponential moving average of the Typical Price).
It then applies multiple layers of smoothing to filter out noise and produce two oscillating lines — WT1 (fast) and WT2 (slow).
The crossing points between WT1 and WT2 are used to identify momentum shifts:
• When WT1 crosses above WT2 from below the oversold zone → Bullish signal
• When WT1 crosses below WT2 from above the overbought zone → Bearish signal
⸻
⚙️ Core Formula Concept
The WaveTrend calculation typically follows this process:
1. Compute the Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
2. Calculate the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of TP over a short length
3. Determine the Raw Wave (ESA) and De-trended Price Oscillator (DPO)
4. Apply double smoothing to produce the final WT1 and WT2 values
These smoothed waves behave like energy waves that expand and contract based on market volatility — hence the name WaveTrend.
⸻
📈 Interpretation
• Overbought Zone: WT values above +60 to +70
• Oversold Zone: WT values below -60 to -70
• Crossovers: WT1 crossing WT2 signals a potential trend reversal
• Divergence: When price makes a new high/low but WT does not, it signals momentum weakening
⸻
🧠 Trading Insights
• Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above) for trend confirmation, and on lower timeframes (M15–M30) for precise entries.
• Combine with ADX, EMA Cloud, or Volume Filters to confirm real momentum shifts and avoid false signals.
• You can highlight WT Diff (WT1 - WT2) to visualize momentum expansion and contraction; large positive or negative differences often precede strong reversals.
Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.

**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.

## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.

- Increase High Volume Ratio to 2.0-2.5 for metals
- Use slightly higher Volume MA Period (25-30) for smoother analysis
- Trade during active market hours for best volume data
- The information table will show the futures contract being used (orange highlight)
## Limitations and Considerations
**What this indicator does NOT do:**
- Does not predict future price direction
- Does not guarantee profitable trades
- Does not replace proper risk management
- Does not work well in extremely low-volume conditions
**Market conditions to avoid:**
- Pre-market and after-hours sessions (low volume)
- Major news events (volatile, unpredictable volume)
- Holidays and low-liquidity periods
- Extremely low float stocks
## Conclusion

Historical Matrix Analyzer [PhenLabs]📊Historical Matrix Analyzer
Version: PineScriptv6
📌Description
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is an advanced probabilistic trading tool that transforms technical analysis into a data-driven decision support system. By creating a comprehensive 56-cell matrix that tracks every combination of RSI states and multi-indicator conditions, this indicator reveals which market patterns have historically led to profitable outcomes and which have not.
At its core, the indicator continuously monitors seven distinct RSI states (ranging from Extreme Oversold to Extreme Overbought) and eight unique indicator combinations (MACD direction, volume levels, and price momentum). For each of these 56 possible market states, the system calculates average forward returns, win rates, and occurrence counts based on your configurable lookback period. The result is a color-coded probability matrix that shows you exactly where you stand in the historical performance landscape.
The standout feature is the Current State Panel, which provides instant clarity on your active market conditions. This panel displays signal strength classifications (from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish), the average return percentage for similar past occurrences, an estimated win rate using Bayesian smoothing to prevent small-sample distortions, and a confidence level indicator that warns you when insufficient data exists for reliable conclusions.
🚀Points of Innovation
Multi-dimensional state classification combining 7 RSI levels with 8 indicator combinations for 56 unique trackable market conditions
Bayesian win rate estimation with adjustable smoothing strength to provide stable probability estimates even with limited historical samples
Real-time active cell highlighting with “NOW” marker that visually connects current market conditions to their historical performance data
Configurable color intensity sensitivity allowing traders to adjust heat-map responsiveness from conservative to aggressive visual feedback
Dual-panel display system separating the comprehensive statistics matrix from an easy-to-read current state summary panel
Intelligent confidence scoring that automatically warns traders when occurrence counts fall below reliable thresholds
🔧Core Components
RSI State Classification: Segments RSI readings into 7 distinct zones (Extreme Oversold <20, Oversold 20-30, Weak 30-40, Neutral 40-60, Strong 60-70, Overbought 70-80, Extreme Overbought >80) to capture momentum extremes and transitions
Multi-Indicator Condition Tracking: Simultaneously monitors MACD crossover status (bullish/bearish), volume relative to moving average (high/low), and price direction (rising/falling) creating 8 binary-encoded combinations
Historical Data Storage Arrays: Maintains rolling lookback windows storing RSI states, indicator states, prices, and bar indices for precise forward-return calculations
Forward Performance Calculator: Measures price changes over configurable forward bar periods (1-20 bars) from each historical state, accumulating total returns and win counts per matrix cell
Bayesian Smoothing Engine: Applies statistical prior assumptions (default 50% win rate) weighted by user-defined strength parameter to stabilize estimated win rates when sample sizes are small
Dynamic Color Mapping System: Converts average returns into color-coded heat map with intensity adjusted by sensitivity parameter and transparency modified by confidence levels
🔥Key Features
56-Cell Probability Matrix: Comprehensive grid displaying every possible combination of RSI state and indicator condition, with each cell showing average return percentage, estimated win rate, and occurrence count for complete statistical visibility
Current State Info Panel: Dedicated display showing your exact position in the matrix with signal strength emoji indicators, numerical statistics, and color-coded confidence warnings for immediate situational awareness
Customizable Lookback Period: Adjustable historical window from 50 to 500 bars allowing traders to focus on recent market behavior or capture longer-term pattern stability across different market cycles
Configurable Forward Performance Window: Select target holding periods from 1 to 20 bars ahead to align probability calculations with your trading timeframe, whether day trading or swing trading
Visual Heat Mapping: Color-coded cells transition from red (bearish historical performance) through gray (neutral) to green (bullish performance) with intensity reflecting statistical significance and occurrence frequency
Intelligent Data Filtering: Minimum occurrence threshold (1-10) removes unreliable patterns with insufficient historical samples, displaying gray warning colors for low-confidence cells
Flexible Layout Options: Independent positioning of statistics matrix and info panel to any screen corner, accommodating different chart layouts and personal preferences
Tooltip Details: Hover over any matrix cell to see full RSI label, complete indicator status description, precise average return, estimated win rate, and total occurrence count
🎨Visualization
Statistics Matrix Table: A 9-column by 8-row grid with RSI states labeling vertical axis and indicator combinations on horizontal axis, using compact abbreviations (XOverS, OverB, MACD↑, Vol↓, P↑) for space efficiency
Active Cell Indicator: The current market state cell displays “⦿ NOW ⦿” in yellow text with enhanced color saturation to immediately draw attention to relevant historical performance
Signal Strength Visualization: Info panel uses emoji indicators (🔥 Strong Bullish, ✅ Bullish, ↗️ Weak Bullish, ➖ Neutral, ↘️ Weak Bearish, ⛔ Bearish, ❄️ Strong Bearish, ⚠️ Insufficient Data) for rapid interpretation
Histogram Plot: Below the price chart, a green/red histogram displays the current cell’s average return percentage, providing a time-series view of how historical performance changes as market conditions evolve
Color Intensity Scaling: Cell background transparency and saturation dynamically adjust based on both the magnitude of average returns and the occurrence count, ensuring visual emphasis on reliable patterns
Confidence Level Display: Info panel bottom row shows “High Confidence” (green), “Medium Confidence” (orange), or “Low Confidence” (red) based on occurrence counts relative to minimum threshold multipliers
📖Usage Guidelines
RSI Period
Default: 14
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Controls the lookback period for RSI momentum calculation. Standard 14-period provides widely-recognized overbought/oversold levels. Decrease for faster, more sensitive RSI reactions suitable for scalping. Increase (21, 28) for smoother, longer-term momentum assessment in swing trading. Changes affect how quickly the indicator moves between the 7 RSI state classifications.
MACD Fast Length
Default: 12
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Sets the faster exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Standard 12-period setting works well for daily charts and captures short-term momentum shifts. Decreasing creates more responsive MACD crossovers but increases false signals. Increasing smooths out noise but delays signal generation, affecting the bullish/bearish indicator state classification.
MACD Slow Length
Default: 26
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Defines the slower exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Traditional 26-period setting balances trend identification with responsiveness. Must be greater than Fast Length. Wider spread between fast and slow increases MACD sensitivity to trend changes, impacting the frequency of indicator state transitions in the matrix.
MACD Signal Length
Default: 9
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Smoothing period for the MACD signal line that triggers bullish/bearish state changes. Standard 9-period provides reliable crossover signals. Shorter values create more frequent state changes and earlier signals but with more whipsaws. Longer values produce more confirmed, stable signals but with increased lag in detecting momentum shifts.
Volume MA Period
Default: 20
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Lookback period for volume moving average used to classify volume as “high” or “low” in indicator state combinations. 20-period default captures typical monthly trading patterns. Shorter periods (10-15) make volume classification more reactive to recent spikes. Longer periods (30-50) require more sustained volume changes to trigger state classification shifts.
Statistics Lookback Period
Default: 200
Range: 50 to 500
Description: Number of historical bars used to calculate matrix statistics. 200 bars provides substantial data for reliable patterns while remaining responsive to regime changes. Lower values (50-100) emphasize recent market behavior and adapt quickly but may produce volatile statistics. Higher values (300-500) capture long-term patterns with stable statistics but slower adaptation to changing market dynamics.
Forward Performance Bars
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Number of bars ahead used to calculate forward returns from each historical state occurrence. 5-bar default suits intraday to short-term swing trading (5 hours on hourly charts, 1 week on daily charts). Lower values (1-3) target short-term momentum trades. Higher values (10-20) align with position trading and longer-term pattern exploitation.
Color Intensity Sensitivity
Default: 2.0
Range: 0.5 to 5.0, step 0.5
Description: Amplifies or dampens the color intensity response to average return magnitudes in the matrix heat map. 2.0 default provides balanced visual emphasis. Lower values (0.5-1.0) create subtle coloring requiring larger returns for full saturation, useful for volatile instruments. Higher values (3.0-5.0) produce vivid colors from smaller returns, highlighting subtle edges in range-bound markets.
Minimum Occurrences for Coloring
Default: 3
Range: 1 to 10
Description: Required minimum sample size before applying color-coded performance to matrix cells. Cells with fewer occurrences display gray “insufficient data” warning. 3-occurrence default filters out rare patterns. Lower threshold (1-2) shows more data but includes unreliable single-event statistics. Higher thresholds (5-10) ensure only well-established patterns receive visual emphasis.
Table Position
Default: top_right
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the 56-cell statistics matrix table. Position to avoid overlapping critical price action or other indicators on your chart. Consider chart orientation and candlestick density when selecting optimal placement.
Show Current State Panel
Default: true
Options: true, false
Description: Toggle visibility of the dedicated current state information panel. When enabled, displays signal strength, RSI value, indicator status, average return, estimated win rate, and confidence level for active market conditions. Disable to declutter charts when only the matrix table is needed.
Info Panel Position
Default: bottom_left
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the current state information panel (when enabled). Position independently from statistics matrix to optimize chart real estate. Typically placed opposite the matrix table for balanced visual layout.
Win Rate Smoothing Strength
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Controls Bayesian prior weighting for estimated win rate calculations. Acts as virtual sample size assuming 50% win rate baseline. Default 5 provides moderate smoothing preventing extreme win rate estimates from small samples. Lower values (1-3) reduce smoothing effect, allowing win rates to reflect raw data more directly. Higher values (10-20) increase conservatism, pulling win rate estimates toward 50% until substantial evidence accumulates.
✅Best Use Cases
Pattern-based discretionary trading where you want historical confirmation before entering setups that “look good” based on current technical alignment
Swing trading with holding periods matching your forward performance bar setting, using high-confidence bullish cells as entry filters
Risk assessment and position sizing, allocating larger size to trades originating from cells with strong positive average returns and high estimated win rates
Market regime identification by observing which RSI states and indicator combinations are currently producing the most reliable historical patterns
Backtesting validation by comparing your manual strategy signals against the historical performance of the corresponding matrix cells
Educational tool for developing intuition about which technical condition combinations have actually worked versus those that feel right but lack historical evidence
⚠️Limitations
Historical patterns do not guarantee future performance, especially during unprecedented market events or regime changes not represented in the lookback period
Small sample sizes (low occurrence counts) produce unreliable statistics despite Bayesian smoothing, requiring caution when acting on low-confidence cells
Matrix statistics lag behind rapidly changing market conditions, as the lookback period must accumulate new state occurrences before updating performance data
Forward return calculations use fixed bar periods that may not align with actual trade exit timing, support/resistance levels, or volatility-adjusted profit targets
💡What Makes This Unique
Multi-Dimensional State Space: Unlike single-indicator tools, simultaneously tracks 56 distinct market condition combinations providing granular pattern resolution unavailable in traditional technical analysis
Bayesian Statistical Rigor: Implements proper probabilistic smoothing to prevent overconfidence from limited data, a critical feature missing from most pattern recognition tools
Real-Time Contextual Feedback: The “NOW” marker and dedicated info panel instantly connect current market conditions to their historical performance profile, eliminating guesswork
Transparent Occurrence Counts: Displays sample sizes directly in each cell, allowing traders to judge statistical reliability themselves rather than hiding data quality issues
Fully Customizable Analysis Window: Complete control over lookback depth and forward return horizons lets traders align the tool precisely with their trading timeframe and strategy requirements
🔬How It Works
1. State Classification and Encoding
Each bar’s RSI value is evaluated and assigned to one of 7 discrete states based on threshold levels (0: <20, 1: 20-30, 2: 30-40, 3: 40-60, 4: 60-70, 5: 70-80, 6: >80)
Simultaneously, three binary conditions are evaluated: MACD line position relative to signal line, current volume relative to its moving average, and current close relative to previous close
These three binary conditions are combined into a single indicator state integer (0-7) using binary encoding, creating 8 possible indicator combinations
The RSI state and indicator state are stored together, defining one of 56 possible market condition cells in the matrix
2. Historical Data Accumulation
As each bar completes, the current state classification, closing price, and bar index are stored in rolling arrays maintained at the size specified by the lookback period
When the arrays reach capacity, the oldest data point is removed and the newest added, creating a sliding historical window
This continuous process builds a comprehensive database of past market conditions and their subsequent price movements
3. Forward Return Calculation and Statistics Update
On each bar, the indicator looks back through the stored historical data to find bars where sufficient forward bars exist to measure outcomes
For each historical occurrence, the price change from that bar to the bar N periods ahead (where N is the forward performance bars setting) is calculated as a percentage return
This percentage return is added to the cumulative return total for the specific matrix cell corresponding to that historical bar’s state classification
Occurrence counts are incremented, and wins are tallied for positive returns, building comprehensive statistics for each of the 56 cells
The Bayesian smoothing formula combines these raw statistics with prior assumptions (neutral 50% win rate) weighted by the smoothing strength parameter to produce estimated win rates that remain stable even with small samples
💡Note:
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is designed as a decision support tool, not a standalone trading system. Best results come from using it to validate discretionary trade ideas or filter systematic strategy signals. Always combine matrix insights with proper risk management, position sizing rules, and awareness of broader market context. The estimated win rate feature uses Bayesian statistics specifically to prevent false confidence from limited data, but no amount of smoothing can create reliable predictions from fundamentally insufficient sample sizes. Focus on high-confidence cells (green-colored confidence indicators) with occurrence counts well above your minimum threshold for the most actionable insights.
AbdullahThis script is a **3-in-1 Combined Indicator** for Pine Script v6, merging three popular technical analysis tools into a single chart overlay. It's designed to provide a comprehensive view of trend direction, momentum, and volatility-based stops.
Here's a breakdown of the three components:
## 1. ZLSMA - Zero Lag LSMA (Zero Lag Least Squares Moving Average)
The ZLSMA is a fast-reacting moving average that aims to eliminate the lag typically associated with standard moving averages. It does this by calculating the difference between a standard **Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA)** and a smoothed version of that LSMA, then adding that difference back to the original LSMA.
* **Customizable Inputs:** Length, Offset, and Source Price.
* **Plot:** A thick yellow line indicating the zero-lag trend.
---
## 2. Chandelier Exit
The Chandelier Exit is a volatility-based tool that places a trailing stop either above the price (for a long trade exit) or below the price (for a short trade exit). It uses the **Average True Range (ATR)** to set the stop distance.
* **Key Function:** Identifies potential stop-loss levels and trend changes.
* **Customizable Inputs:** ATR Period, ATR Multiplier, and an option to use the Close price for extremum calculations.
* **Visuals:**
* Plots the **Long Stop (Green)** and **Short Stop (Red)** lines, which switch based on the current trend direction.
* Optional **Buy/Sell Labels** and **Highlighting** (shaded background) to clearly mark the current trend state (long or short).
---
## 3. Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with Optional Smoothing Bands
This section plots a standard **Exponential Moving Average (EMA)** and includes a unique feature to smooth the EMA's output using another moving average or Bollinger Bands.
* **EMA Plot:** A blue line representing the EMA, with customizable Length, Source, and Offset.
* **Optional Smoothing:** The EMA line itself can be smoothed by applying a secondary moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.) to the EMA's values.
* **Bollinger Bands Option:** If **SMA + Bollinger Bands** is selected for smoothing, it plots **Upper** and **Lower Bands** based on the standard deviation of the EMA, providing a visual envelope for volatility around the smoothed line.
LEGEND IsoPulse Fusion Universal Volume Trend Buy Sell RadarLEGEND IsoPulse Fusion • Universal Volume Trend Buy Sell Radar
One line summary
LEGEND IsoPulse Fusion reads intent from price and volume together, learns which features matter most on your symbol, blends them into a single signed Fusion line in a stable unit range, and emits clear Buy Sell Close events with a structure gate and a liquidity safety gate so you act only when the tape is favorable.
What this script is and why it exists
Many traders keep separate windows for trend, volume, volatility, and regime filters. The result can feel fragmented. This script merges two complementary engines into one consistent view that is easy to read and simple to act on.
LEGEND Tensor estimates directional quality from five causally computed features that are normalized for stationarity. The features are Flow, Tail Pressure with Volume Mix, Path Curvature, Streak Persistence, and Entropy Order.
IsoPulse transforms raw volume into two decaying reservoirs for buy effort and sell effort using body location and wick geometry, then measures price travel per unit volume for efficiency, and detects volume bursts with a recency memory.
Both engines are mapped into the same unit range and fused by a regime aware mixer. When the tape is orderly the mixer leans toward trend features. When the tape is messy but a true push appears in volume efficiency with bursts the mixer allows IsoPulse to speak louder. The outcome is a single Fusion line that lives in a familiar range with calm behavior in quiet periods and expressive pushes when energy concentrates.
What makes it original and useful
Two reservoir volume split . The script assigns a portion of the bar volume to up effort and down effort using body location and wick geometry together. Effort decays through time using a forgetting factor so memory is present without becoming sticky.
Efficiency of move . Price travel per unit volume is often more informative than raw volume or raw range. The script normalizes both sides and centers the efficiency so it becomes signed fuel when multiplied by flow skew.
Burst detection with recency memory . Percent rank of volume highlights bursts. An exponential memory of how recently bursts clustered converts isolated blips into useful context.
Causal adaptive weighting . The LEGEND features do not receive static weights. The script learns, causally, which features have correlated with future returns on your symbol over a rolling window. Only positive contributions are allowed and weights are normalized for interpretability.
Regime aware fusion . Entropy based order and persistence create a mixer that blends IsoPulse with LEGEND. You see a single line rather than two competing panels, which reduces decision conflict.

Fusion area . The pane fills above and below zero with a soft gradient. Deeper fill means stronger conviction. The white Fusion line sits on top for precise crossings.
Entry guides and exit guides . Two entry guides draw symmetrically at the active fused entry level. Two exit guides sit inside at a fraction of the entry. Think of them as an adaptive envelope.
Letters . B prints once when the script flips from flat to long. S prints once when the script flips from flat to short. C prints when a held position ends on the appropriate side. T prints when the structure gate first opens. A prints when the liquidity safety flag first appears.
Price bar paint . Bars tint green while long and red while short on the chart to mirror your virtual position.
HUD . A compact dashboard in the corner shows Fusion, IsoPulse, LEGEND, active entry and exit levels, regime status, current virtual position, and the vacuum z value with its avoid threshold.
What signals actually mean
Buy . A Buy prints when the Fusion line crosses above the active entry level while gates are open and the previous state was flat.
Sell . A Sell prints when the Fusion line crosses below the negative entry level while gates are open and the previous state was flat.
Close . A Close prints when Fusion cools back inside the exit envelope or when an opposite cross would occur or when a gate forces a stop, and the previous state was a hold.
Gates . The Trend gate requires sufficient entropy order or significant persistence. The Avoid gate uses a liquidity vacuum z score. Gates exist to protect you from weak tape and poor liquidity.
Inputs and practical tuning
Every input has a tooltip in the script. This section provides a concise reference that you can keep in mind while you work.
Setup
Core window . Controls statistics across features. Scalping often prefers the thirties or low fifties. Intraday often prefers the fifties to eighties. Swing often prefers the eighties to low hundreds. Smaller responds faster with more noise. Larger is calmer.
Smoothing . Short EMA on noisy features. A small value catches micro shifts. A larger value reduces whipsaw.
Fusion and thresholds
Weight lookback . Sample size for weight learning. Use at least five times the horizon. Larger is slower and more confident. Smaller is nimble and more reactive.
Weight horizon . How far ahead return is measured to assess feature value. Smaller favors quick reversion impulses. Larger favors continuation.
Adaptive thresholds . Entry and exit levels from rolling percentiles of the absolute LEGEND score. This self scales across assets and timeframes.
Entry percentile . Eighty selects the top quintile of pushes. Lower to seventy five for more signals. Raise for cleanliness.
Exit percentile . Mid fifties keeps trades honest without overstaying. Sixty holds longer with wider give back.
Order threshold . Minimum structure to trade. Zero point fifteen is a reasonable start. Lower to trade more. Raise to filter chop.
Avoid if Vac z . Liquidity safety level. One point two five is a good default on liquid markets. Thin markets may prefer a slightly higher setting to avoid permanent avoid mode.
IsoPulse
Iso forgetting per bar . Memory for the two reservoirs. Values near zero point nine eight to zero point nine nine five work across many symbols.
Wick weight in effort split . Balance between body location and wick geometry. Values near zero point three to zero point six capture useful behavior.
Efficiency window . Travel per volume window. Lower for snappy symbols. Higher for stability.
Burst percent rank window . Window for percent rank of volume. Around one hundred to three hundred covers most use cases.
Burst recency half life . How long burst clusters matter. Lower for quick fades. Higher for cluster memory.
IsoPulse gain . Pre compression gain before the atan mapping. Tune until the Fusion line lives inside a calm band most of the time with expressive spikes on true pushes.
Continuation and Reversal guides . Visual rails for IsoPulse that help you sense continuation or exhaustion zones. They do not force events.
Entry sensitivity and exit fraction
Entry sensitivity . Loose multiplies the fused entry level by a smaller factor which prints more trades. Strict multiplies by a larger factor which selects fewer and cleaner trades. Balanced is neutral.
Exit fraction . Exit level relative to the entry level in fused unit space. Values around one half to two thirds fit most symbols.
Visuals and UX
Columns and line . Use both to see context and precise crossings. If you present a very clean chart you can turn columns off and keep the line.
HUD . Keep it on while you learn the script. It teaches you how the gates and thresholds respond to your market.
Letters . B S C T A are informative and compact. For screenshots you can toggle them off.
Debug triggers . Show raw crosses even when gates block entries. This is useful when you tune the gates. Turn them off for normal use.

How to connect signals to your risk plan
This is an indicator. You remain in control of orders and risk.
Stops . A simple choice is an ATR multiple measured on your chart timeframe. Intraday often prefers one point two five to one point five ATR. Swing often prefers one point five to two ATR. Adjust to symbol behavior and personal risk tolerance.
Exits . The script already prints a Close when Fusion cools inside the exit envelope. If you prefer targets you can mirror the entry envelope distance and convert that to points or percent in your own plan.
Position size . Fixed fractional or fixed risk per trade remains a sound baseline. One percent or less per trade is a common starting point for testing.
Sessions and news . Even with self scaling, some traders prefer to skip the first minutes after an open or scheduled news. Gate with your own session logic if needed.
Limitations and honest notes
No look ahead . The script is causal. The adaptive learner uses a shifted correlation, crosses are evaluated without peeking into the future, and no lookahead security calls are used. If you enable intrabar calculations a letter may appear then disappear before the close if the condition fails. This is normal for any cross based logic in real time.
No performance promises . Markets change. This is a decision aid, not a prediction machine. It will not win every sequence and it cannot guarantee statistical outcomes.
No dependence on other indicators . The chart should remain clean. You can add personal tools in private use but publications should keep the example chart readable.
Standard candles only for public signals . Non standard chart types can change event timing and produce unrealistic sequences. Use regular candles for demonstrations and publications.
Internal logic walkthrough
LEGEND feature block
Flow . Current return normalized by ATR then smoothed by a short EMA. This gives directional intent scaled to recent volatility.
Tail pressure with volume mix . The relative sizes of upper and lower wicks inside the high to low range produce a tail asymmetry. A volume based mix can emphasize wick information when volume is meaningful.
Path curvature . Second difference of close normalized by ATR and smoothed. This captures changes in impulse shape that can precede pushes or fades.
Streak persistence . Up and down close streaks are counted and netted. The result is normalized for the window length to keep behavior stable across symbols.
Entropy order . Shannon entropy of the probability of an up close. Lower entropy means more order. The value is oriented by Flow to preserve sign.
Causal weights . Each feature becomes a z score. A shifted correlation against future returns over the horizon produces a positive weight per feature. Weights are normalized so they sum to one for clarity. The result is angle mapped into a compact unit.
IsoPulse block
Effort split . The script estimates up effort and down effort per bar using both body location and wick geometry. Effort is integrated through time into two reservoirs using a forgetting factor.
Skew . The reservoir difference over the sum yields a stable skew in a known range. A short EMA smooths it.
Efficiency . Move size divided by average volume produces travel per unit volume. Normalization and centering around zero produce a symmetric measure.
Bursts and recency . Percent rank of volume highlights bursts. An exponential function of bars since last burst adds the notion of cluster memory.
IsoPulse unit . Skew multiplied by centered efficiency then scaled by the burst factor produces the raw IsoPulse that is angle mapped into the unit range.
Fusion and events
Regime factor . Entropy order and streak persistence form a mixer. Low structure favors IsoPulse. Higher structure favors LEGEND. The blend is convex so it remains interpretable.
Blended guides . Entry and exit guides are blended in the same way as the line so they stay consistent when regimes change. The envelope does not jump unexpectedly.
Virtual position . The script maintains state. Buy and Sell require a cross while flat and gates open. Close requires an exit or force condition while holding. Letters print once at the state change.
Disclosures
This script and description are educational. They do not constitute investment advice. Markets involve risk. You are responsible for your own decisions and for compliance with local rules. The logic is causal and does not look ahead. Signals on non standard chart types can be misleading and are not recommended for publication. When you test a strategy wrapper, use realistic commission and slippage, moderate risk per trade, and enough trades to form a meaningful sample, then document those assumptions if you share results.
Closing thoughts
Clarity builds confidence. The Fusion line gives a single view of intent. The letters communicate action without clutter. The HUD confirms context at a glance. The gates protect you from weak tape and poor liquidity. Tune it to your instrument, observe it across regimes, and use it as a consistent lens rather than a prediction oracle. The goal is not to trade every wiggle. The goal is to pick your spots with a calm process and to stand aside when the tape is not inviting.
RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation

📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional RSI:
Fixed Threshold RSI Limitations:
In ranging low-volatility markets: RSI rarely reaches 70/30, missing tradable extremes
In trending high-volatility markets: RSI frequently breaks through 70/30, generating excessive false reversal signals
Across different instruments: Same thresholds applied to volatile crypto and stable forex pairs produce inconsistent results
Threshold Adjustment Problem: Manually changing thresholds for different conditions is subjective and lagging
RSI Bollinger Bands Advantages:
Automatic Adaptation: Bands adjust to current volatility regime without manual intervention
Consistent Logic: Same statistical approach works across different instruments and timeframes
Reduced False Signals: Band width filtering helps distinguish meaningful extremes from noise
Additional Information: Band width provides volatility context missing in standard RSI
Objective Extremes: Statistical basis (standard deviations) provides objective extreme definition
Comparison with Price-Based Bollinger Bands:
Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)

Uptrick: Volatility Adjusted TrailIntroduction
The "Uptrick: Volatility Adjusted Trail" is a dynamic trailing band indicator. It adapts in real time to changing market conditions by adjusting both to volatility and trend consistency. Inspired by Supertrend-style logic, it enhances traditional approaches by introducing adaptive mechanisms for more context-sensitive behavior in both trending and consolidating environments.
Overview
This indicator combines an exponential moving average (EMA) as its basis with an Average True Range (ATR)-derived multiplier that adjusts dynamically. Unlike fixed-multiplier tools, this indicator modifies its band distances in real time according to volatility expansion and trend persistence. The result is a trailing system that adapts to the prevailing market regime, providing traders with clearer signals for trend bias, stop placement, and potential momentum shifts.
Originality
The script’s originality lies in its multi-layered approach to trail calculation. It introduces a real-time ATR multiplier adjustment driven by two factors: a volatility expansion ratio and a trend persistence model. The expansion ratio compares the current ATR to its moving average, making the indicator more sensitive during volatile conditions and less sensitive during quieter periods. The trend persistence model assesses directional consistency to widen the bands during sustained trends. This dual adjustment method creates a system that evolves with market behavior, making it more responsive and adaptive than static-band or fixed-multiplier alternatives.
Components & Inspiration
This indicator was designed with specific components that work together:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Chosen as the central baseline because it responds faster to recent price changes than a simple moving average, providing a more current reference for trailing bands.
Average True Range (ATR): Used as the volatility measure because it accounts for both intraday and gap movement, making it a robust and widely accepted standard for market volatility.
Dynamic Multiplier: The multiplier is adjusted by both volatility expansion and trend persistence to produce bands that tighten during low volatility and widen during consistent trends. This combination was chosen to give the indicator the ability to self-regulate across different market regimes.
Trend Persistence Model: Integrated to assess directional consistency, ensuring the bands expand during strong trends, which can prevent premature stop-outs.
Flip Confirmation Logic: Added to filter out noise by requiring multiple bar closes beyond a band before confirming a state change, reducing false reversals.
For inspiration, the indicator draws on the core idea behind Supertrend—using a baseline and volatility-derived bands to define trailing stop levels. However, while Supertrend uses a fixed ATR multiplier, this indicator introduces a dynamic multiplier system and persistence weighting, making it more adaptive and suited for varying conditions.
Inputs and Parameters
Basis EMA Length
Defines the period for the EMA that serves as the core price reference.
ATR Length
Sets the lookback period for the Average True Range calculation used in band spacing.
Base ATR Mult
The base multiplier applied to ATR before adjustments. Forms the starting scale of the band offset.
Volatility Expansion Sensitivity
Controls how strongly the band spacing reacts to short-term volatility bursts. Higher values create more pronounced band expansions or contractions.
Trend Persistence Window
Determines how many bars are used to calculate directional trend consistency using a smoothed step function.
Persistence Impact
Scales how much influence the trend persistence has on band widening. Values range from 0 (no effect) to 1 (maximum effect).
Min Effective Mult
Sets the minimum value that the adjusted multiplier can reach. Prevents the bands from becoming too narrow.
Max Effective Mult
Sets the maximum value the adjusted multiplier can reach. Prevents the bands from over-expanding during high volatility.
Bars Above/Below to Confirm Flip
Number of consecutive bars required to close above or below the opposing trail before confirming a bullish or bearish flip. Helps reduce noise and false signals.
Show Flip Labels
Enables or disables the display of flip markers on the chart.
Label Size
Allows users to adjust the size of flip labels from Tiny to Huge.
Label ATR Offset
Adjusts the vertical placement of flip labels in relation to the trail using an ATR-based offset.
Features and Logic
EMA Basis: All calculations stem from an EMA that tracks the centerline of price action.
Dynamic ATR Multiplier: The ATR multiplier adjusts in real time based on volatility expansion and trend persistence.
Clamped Multiplier: The adjusted multiplier is limited between user-defined minimum and maximum values to keep the band scale practical.
Upper and Lower Bands: Bands are plotted above and below the EMA using the dynamic multiplier and ATR values.
Trailing Logic: The script uses Supertrend-style trailing logic, updating the active band in the current trend direction and resetting the opposite band.
Trend State Detection: A state variable tracks the current market regime (bullish, bearish, or neutral). Transitions are confirmed only after a user-specified number of bars close beyond the respective bands.
Visual Elements: Trail lines and fill zones are color-coded (bullish cyan, bearish magenta). Candlestick and bar colors match the trend state. Optional flip labels mark confirmed transitions.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions allow users to receive real-time notifications for bullish or bearish flips.
Usage Guidelines
This indicator can be used for:
Defining context-aware dynamic stop levels that adjust with market behavior.
Identifying trend direction and reversal points based on adaptive logic.
Filtering entry or exit signals during trending vs. consolidating conditions.
Supplementing trade management strategies with responsive visual markers.
Entering long or short positions based on the appearance of flip labels and managing stop losses by following the adaptive trail.
Traders may tune the parameters to suit different trading styles or timeframes. For example, lower ATR and EMA values may suit intraday setups, while longer settings may benefit swing or positional trading.
Summary
The "Uptrick: Volatility Adjusted Trail" provides a flexible, adaptive trailing band system that accounts for both volatility and directional consistency. By combining an EMA baseline with a dynamic ATR multiplier influenced by volatility expansion and trend persistence, it creates a context-sensitive trailing system that aligns with changing market conditions. Customizable confirmation, flip labels, alerts, and dynamic visual cues make it a versatile tool for trend-following, breakout filtering, and trailing stop logic.

Machine Learning Price Predictor: Ridge AR [Bitwardex]🔹Machine Learning Price Predictor: Ridge AR is a research-oriented indicator demonstrating the use of Regularized AutoRegression (Ridge AR) for short-term price forecasting.
The model combines autoregressive structure with Ridge regularization , providing stability under noisy or volatile market conditions.
The latest version introduces Bull and Bear signals , visually representing the current momentum phase and model direction directly on the chart.
Unlike traditional linear regression, Ridge AR minimizes overfitting, stabilizes coefficient dynamics, and enhances predictive consistency in correlated datasets.
The script plots:
Fit Line — in-sample fitted data;
Forecast Line — out-of-sample projection;
Trend Segments — color-coded bullish/bearish sections;
Bull/Bear Labels 🐂🐻 — dynamic visual signals showing directional bias.
Designed for researchers, students, and developers, this tool helps explore regularized time-series forecasting in Pine Script™.
🧩 Ridge AR Settings
Training Window — number of bars used for model training;
Forecast Horizon — forecast length (bars ahead);
AR Order — number of lags used as features;
Ridge Strength (λ) — regularization coefficient;
Damping Factor — exponential trend decay rate;
Trend Length — period for trend/volatility estimation;
Momentum Weight — strength of the recent move;
Mean Reversion — pullback intensity toward the mean.
🧮 Data Processing
Prefilter:
None — raw close price;
EMA — exponential smoothing;
SuperSmoother — Ehlers filter for noise reduction.
EMA Length, SuperSmoother Length — smoothing parameters.
🖥️ Display Settings
Update Mode:
Lock — static model;
Update Once Reached — rebuild after forecast horizon;
Continuous — update every bar.
Forecast Color — projection line color;
Bullish/Bearish Colors — colors for trend segments.
🐂🐻 Bull/Bear Signal System
The Bull/Bear Signal System adds directional visual cues to highlight local momentum shifts and model-based trend confirmation.
Bull (🐂) — appears when upward momentum is confirmed (momentum > 0) .
Displayed below the bar, colored with Bullish Color.
Bear (🐻) — appears when downward momentum is dominant (momentum < 0) .
Displayed above the bar, colored with Bearish Color.
Signals are generated during model recalculations or when the directional bias changes in Continuous mode.
These visual markers are analytical aids , not trading triggers.
🧠 Core Algorithmic Components
Regularized AutoRegression (Ridge AR):
Solves: (X′X+λI)−1X′y
to derive stable regression coefficients.
