MTC – Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmator V2MTC – Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmator V2
A comprehensive trend analysis indicator that systematically combines six technical indicators across three customizable timeframes, using a weighted scoring system to identify high-probability trend conditions.
ORIGINALITY AND CONCEPT
This indicator is original in its approach to multi-timeframe trend confirmation. Rather than relying on a single indicator or timeframe, it creates a composite score by evaluating six different technical conditions simultaneously across three timeframes. The scoring system weighs certain indicators more heavily based on their reliability in trend identification. The visual gauge provides an at-a-glance view of trend alignment across timeframes, making it easier to identify when multiple timeframes agree - a condition that typically produces stronger, more reliable trends.
HOW IT WORKS - DETAILED SCORING METHODOLOGY
The indicator evaluates six technical conditions on each timeframe. Each condition contributes to a composite score:
EMA 200 (Weight: 1 point)
Bullish: Price closes above EMA 200 (+1)
Bearish: Price closes below EMA 200 (-1)
Rationale: Long-term trend direction
SMA 50/200 Crossover (Weight: 1 point)
Bullish: SMA 50 above SMA 200 (+1)
Bearish: SMA 50 below SMA 200 (-1)
Rationale: Golden/Death cross confirmation
RSI 14 (Weight: 1 point)
Bullish: RSI above 55 (+1)
Bearish: RSI below 45 (-1)
Neutral: RSI between 45-55 (0)
Rationale: Momentum filter with buffer zone to avoid chop
MACD (12,26,9) (Weight: 1 point)
Bullish: MACD line above signal line (+1)
Bearish: MACD line below signal line (-1)
Rationale: Trend momentum confirmation
ADX 14 (Weight: 2 points - DOUBLE WEIGHTED)
Requires ADX above 25 to activate
Bullish: DI+ above DI- and ADX > 25 (+2)
Bearish: DI- above DI+ and ADX > 25 (-2)
Neutral: ADX below 25 (0)
Rationale: Trend strength filter - only counts when a strong trend exists. Double weighted because ADX is specifically designed to measure trend strength, making it more reliable than oscillators.
Supertrend (Factor: 3.0, ATR Period: 10) (Weight: 2 points - DOUBLE WEIGHTED)
Bullish: Direction indicator = -1 (+2)
Bearish: Direction indicator = +1 (-2)
Rationale: Dynamic support/resistance that adapts to volatility. Double weighted because Supertrend provides clear, objective trend signals with built-in stop-loss levels.
COMPOSITE SCORE CALCULATION:
Total possible score range: -10 to +10 points
Score interpretation:
Score > 2: UPTREND (majority of indicators bullish, especially weighted ones)
Score < -2: DOWNTREND (majority of indicators bearish, especially weighted ones)
Score between -2 and +2: NEUTRAL/RANGING (mixed signals or weak trend)
The threshold of +/- 2 was chosen because it requires more than just basic agreement - it typically means at least 3-4 indicators align, or that the heavily-weighted indicators (ADX, Supertrend) confirm the direction.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC:
The indicator calculates the composite score independently for three timeframes:
Higher Timeframe (default: 4H) - Major trend direction
Mid Timeframe (default: 1H) - Intermediate trend
Lower Timeframe (default: 15min) - Entry timing
Main Trend Confirmation Rule:
The indicator only signals a confirmed trend when BOTH the higher timeframe AND mid timeframe scores agree (both > 2 for uptrend, or both < -2 for downtrend). This dual-timeframe confirmation significantly reduces false signals during choppy or ranging markets.
HOW TO USE IT
Setup:
Add indicator to chart
Customize timeframes based on your trading style:
Scalpers: 15min, 5min, 1min
Day traders: 4H, 1H, 15min (default)
Swing traders: Daily, 4H, 1H
Toggle individual indicators on/off based on your preference
Adjust Supertrend parameters if needed for your instrument's volatility
Reading the Gauge (Top Right Corner):
Each row shows one timeframe
Left column: Timeframe label
Middle column: Visual strength bars (10 bars = maximum score)
Green bars = Bullish score
Red bars = Bearish score
Yellow bars = Neutral/ranging
More filled bars = stronger trend
Right column: Numerical score
Trading Signals:
Entry Signals:
Long Entry: Wait for upward triangle arrow (appears when higher + mid TF both bullish)
Confirm gauge shows green bars on higher and mid timeframes
Lower timeframe should ideally turn green for entry timing
Chart background tints light green
Short Entry: Wait for downward triangle arrow (appears when higher + mid TF both bearish)
Confirm gauge shows red bars on higher and mid timeframes
Lower timeframe should ideally turn red for entry timing
Chart background tints light red
Position Management:
Stay in position while higher and mid timeframes remain aligned
Consider reducing position size when mid timeframe score weakens
Exit when higher timeframe trend reverses (daily label changes)
Avoiding False Signals:
Ignore signals when gauge shows mixed colors across timeframes
Avoid trading when scores are close to threshold (+/- 2 to +/- 4 range)
Best trades occur when all three timeframes align (all green or all red in gauge)
Use the numerical scores: higher absolute values (7-10) indicate stronger, more reliable trends
Practical Examples:
Example 1 - Strong Uptrend Entry:
Higher TF: +8 (strong green bars)
Mid TF: +6 (strong green bars)
Lower TF: +4 (moderate green bars)
Action: Look for long entries on lower timeframe pullbacks
Background is tinted green, upward arrow appears
Example 2 - Ranging Market (Avoid):
Higher TF: +3 (weak green)
Mid TF: -1 (weak red)
Lower TF: +2 (neutral yellow)
Action: Stay out, wait for alignment
Example 3 - Trend Reversal Warning:
Higher TF: +7 (still green)
Mid TF: -3 (turned red)
Lower TF: -5 (strong red)
Action: Consider exiting longs, prepare for potential higher TF reversal
Customization Options:
Timeframes: Adjust all three to match your trading horizon
Indicator Toggles: Disable indicators that don't suit your instrument:
Disable RSI for highly volatile crypto markets
Disable SMA crossover for range-bound instruments
Keep ADX and Supertrend enabled for trending markets
Visual Preferences:
Arrow size: 5 options from Tiny to Huge
Gauge size: Small/Medium/Large for different screen sizes
Toggle arrows on/off if you only want the gauge
Alert Setup:
Right-click chart, "Add Alert"
Condition: MTC v6 - UPTREND or DOWNTREND
Get notified when multi-timeframe confirmation occurs
Best Practices:
Use with Price Action: The indicator works best when combined with support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and volume analysis
Risk Management: Even with multi-timeframe confirmation, always use stop losses
Market Context: Works best in trending markets; less reliable in strong consolidation
Backtesting: Test the default settings on your specific instrument and timeframe before live trading
Patience: Wait for full multi-timeframe alignment rather than taking premature signals
Technical Notes:
All calculations use Pine Script's security function to fetch data from multiple timeframes
Prevents repainting by using confirmed bar data
Gauge updates in real-time on the last bar
Daily labels mark at the open of each new daily candle
Works on all instruments and timeframes
This indicator is ideal for traders who want objective, systematic trend identification without the complexity of analyzing multiple indicators manually across different timeframes.

Smart Trend Signal with Bands [wjdtks255]Indicator Description for TradingView
Title: Adaptive Trend Kernel
Description:
The "Adaptive Trend Kernel " is a versatile trend-following and volatility indicator designed to help traders identify dynamic market trends, potential reversals, and price extremes within a channel. Built upon a customized linear regression model, this indicator provides clear visual cues to enhance your trading decisions.
Key Features:
Regression Line: A central dynamic line representing the core trend direction, calculated based on a user-defined "Regression Length."
Regression Bands: Standard deviation-based bands plotted around the Regression Line, which act like a dynamic channel. These bands expand and contract with market volatility, indicating potential overbought/oversold conditions relative to the trend.
Trend Reversal Signals: Distinct "Up" (green triangle up) and "Down" (red triangle down) signals are generated when the price (close) crosses over or under the Regression Line. These signals suggest potential shifts in the short-term trend direction.
Visual Customization: Highly flexible input options for adjusting line colors, band colors, line width, and panel opacity. Users can toggle the visibility of bands and trend labels to suit their chart preferences.
Panel Label: A subtle "Regression" label is dynamically positioned, offering clear context without cluttering the main chart.
How it Works: The indicator calculates a linear regression line as the adaptive center of the price movement. Standard deviation is then used to create upper and lower bands, encapsulating typical price fluctuations. Signals are fired when price breaks out of the regression line, suggesting a momentum shift in line with the established trend or a potential reversal.
Trading Methods & Strategies
Here are some trading strategies you can apply using the "Adaptive Trend Kernel " indicator:
Trend-Following with Confirmation:
Long Entry: Look for an "Up" signal (green triangle up) when the price is above the Regression Line, especially after a brief retracement towards the line. This confirms that the uptrend is likely resuming.
Short Entry: Look for a "Down" signal (red triangle down) when the price is below the Regression Line, especially after a brief rally towards the line. This confirms that the downtrend is likely resuming.
Exit Strategy: Consider exiting if an opposite signal appears, or if the price closes outside the opposite band, indicating potential overextension or reversal.
Reversal / Counter-Trend Play:
Long Entry (Aggressive): When the price approaches or briefly dips below the Lower Regression Band and then generates an "Up" signal (green triangle up). This could indicate a potential bounce from an oversold condition relative to the trend.
Short Entry (Aggressive): When the price approaches or briefly moves above the Upper Regression Band and then generates a "Down" signal (red triangle down). This could indicate a potential pullback from an overbought condition relative to the trend.
Confirmation: This strategy works best when combined with other reversal confirmation patterns (e.g., bullish/bearish engulfing candlesticks) or divergences in other momentum indicators (like RSI).
Volatility Breakout:
Entry (Long): After a period of low volatility where the Regression Bands are narrow, observe if the price decisively breaks above the Upper Regression Band and an "Up" signal appears. This suggests a strong bullish momentum breakout.
Entry (Short): After a period of low volatility where the Regression Bands are narrow, observe if the price decisively breaks below the Lower Regression Band and a "Down" signal appears. This suggests a strong bearish momentum breakdown.
Management: Volatility breakouts can be swift; use appropriate risk management and profit-taking strategies.
Important Considerations:
Risk Management: Always apply proper stop-loss and take-profit levels. No indicator is infallible.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Adjust the "Regression Length" and "Band Multiplier" according to the asset and timeframe you are trading. Shorter lengths might suit scalping, while longer lengths are better for swing trading.
Confirmation with Other Tools: For higher conviction trades, use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools such like volume, MACD, or RSI on an oscillator pane.
Backtesting: Always backtest any strategy on historical data to understand its performance characteristics before live trading.
Supply & Demand ZonesThis indicator detects high-probability supply and demand zones using a multi-step smart money concept approach:
Liquidity Sweep Detection: Identifies when price sweeps above a pivot high (supply setup) or below a pivot low (demand setup), capturing liquidity grabs by institutional traders.
Displacement Confirmation: Requires a strong displacement candle (measured by ATR and body percentage) or fair value gap (FVG/imbalance) in the opposite direction after the sweep.
Volume Confirmation: Optional filter ensures zones form only when volume exceeds the user-defined threshold, indicating institutional participation.
Smart Filtering: Built-in logic prevents overlapping zones, enforces minimum spacing between signals, and requires confirmation bars to eliminate false signals.
Zone Lifecycle Management: Zones are automatically removed when price closes through them with momentum. Breached zones can optionally "flip" to the opposite type when re-tested with strong displacement.
✨ Key Features
Clean Visual Display: Small "D" (Demand) and "S" (Supply) labels with shaded zone boxes
Non-Repainting: All signals use confirmed historical data—no lookahead or repainting
Volume Filter: Optional confirmation using volume spike detection
Zone Flip Logic: Breached demand zones can become supply (and vice versa) when violated
Overlap Prevention: Smart algorithm prevents clustered or duplicate zones
Confirmation Delay: Configurable wait period after sweep to confirm genuine setups
Customizable Inputs: Adjust pivot sensitivity, displacement thresholds, volume filters, and more
Alert Ready: Built-in alert conditions for new supply and demand zone formations

nOI + Funding + CVD • strategynOI + Funding + CVD Strategy
Overview
This strategy is designed for cryptocurrency trading on platforms like TradingView, focusing on perpetual futures markets. It combines three key indicators—Normalized Open Interest (nOI), Funding Rate, and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)—to generate buy and sell signals for long and short positions. The strategy aims to capitalize on market imbalances, such as overextended open interest, funding rate extremes, and volume deltas, which often signal potential reversals or continuations in trending markets.
The script supports pyramiding (up to 10 positions), uses percentage-based position sizing (default 10% of equity per trade), and allows customization of trade directions (longs and shorts can be enabled/disabled independently). It includes multiple signal systems for entries, various exit mechanisms (including stop-loss, take-profit, time-based exits, and conditional closes based on indicators), a Martingale add-on system for averaging positions during drawdowns, and handling of opposite signals (ignore, close, or reverse).
This strategy is not financial advice; backtest thoroughly and use at your own risk. It requires data sources for Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rates, which are fetched via TradingView's security functions (e.g., from Binance for funding premiums).
Key Indicators
1. Normalized Open Interest (nOI)
Group: Open Interest
Purpose: Measures the relative level of open interest over a lookback window to identify overbought (high OI) or oversold (low OI) conditions, which can indicate potential exhaustion in trends.
Calculation:
Fetches OI data (close) from the symbol's standard ticker (e.g., "{symbol}_OI").
Normalizes OI within a user-defined window (default: 500 bars) using min-max scaling: (OI - min_OI) / (max_OI - min_OI) * 100.
Upper threshold (default: 70%): Signals potential short opportunities when crossed from above.
Lower threshold (default: 30%): Signals potential long opportunities when crossed from below.
Visualization: Plotted as a line (teal above upper, red below lower, gray in between). Horizontal lines at upper, mid (50%), lower, and a separator at 102%.
Notes: Handles non-crypto symbols by adjusting timeframe to daily if intraday. Errors if no OI data available.
2. Funding Rate
Group: Funding Rate
Purpose: Tracks the average funding rate (premium index) to detect market sentiment extremes. Positive funding suggests bull bias (longs pay shorts), negative suggests bear bias.
Calculation:
Fetches premium index data from Binance (e.g., "binance:{base}usdt_premium").
Supports lower timeframe aggregation (default: enabled, using 1-min TF) for smoother data.
Averages open and close premiums, clamps values, and scales/shifts for plotting (base: 150, scale: 1000x).
Upper threshold (default: 1.0%): Overheat for shorts.
Lower threshold (default: 1.0%): Overcool for longs.
Ultra level (default: 1.8%): Extreme for additional short signals.
Smoothing: Uses inverse weighted moving average (IWMA) or lower-TF aggregation to reduce noise.
Visualization: Shifted plot (green positive, red negative) with filled areas. Horizontal lines for overheat, overcool, base (0%), and ultra.
Notes: Custom ticker option for non-standard symbols.
3. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Group: CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
Purpose: Measures net buying/selling pressure via volume delta, normalized to identify divergences or confirmations with price.
Calculation:
Delta: +volume if close > open, -volume if close < open.
Cumulative: Rolling cumsum over a window (default: 500 bars), smoothed with EMA (default: 20).
Normalized: Scaled by absolute max in window (-1 to 1 range).
Scaled/shifted for plotting (base: 300 or 0 if anchored, scale: 120x).
Upper threshold (default: 1.0%): Over for shorts.
Lower threshold (default: 1.0%): Under for longs.
Visualization: Shifted plot (aqua positive, purple negative) with filled areas. Horizontal lines for over, under, and separator (default: 252).
Filter Options (for Signal A):
Enable filter (default: false).
Require sign match (Long ≥0, Short ≤0).
Require extreme zones.
Require momentum (rising/falling over N bars, default: 3).
Signal Logics for Entries
Entries are triggered by buy/sell signals from multiple systems (A, B, C, D), filtered by direction toggles and entry conditions.
Signal System A: OI + Funding (with optional CVD filter)
Enabled: Default true.
Sell (Short): nOI > upper threshold, falling over N bars (default: 3), delta ≥ threshold (default: 3%), funding > overheat, and CVD filter OK.
Buy (Long): nOI < lower threshold, rising over N bars (default: 3), delta ≥ threshold (default: 3%), funding < overcool, and CVD filter OK.

Enabled: Default false.
Sell (Short): Funding crosses ultra level (up or down, both default true).
Signal System D: Long - Funding Crossover + Filters
Enabled: Default true.
Buy (Long): Funding crosses over overcool level, optional: CVD < under, nOI > lower.
Combined: Sell if A/B/C active; Buy if A/D active.
Entry Filters
Cooldown: Optional pause between entries (default: false, 3 bars).

Candle Breakout StrategyShort description (one-liner)
Candle Breakout Strategy — identifies a user-specified candle (UTC time), draws its high/low range, then enters on breakouts with configurable stop-loss, take-profit (via Risk:Reward) and optional alerts.
Full description (ready-to-paste)
Candle Breakout Strategy
Version 1.0 — Strategy script (Pine v5)
Overview
The Candle Breakout Strategy automatically captures a single "range candle" at a user-specified UTC time, draws its high/low as a visible box and dashed level lines, and waits for a breakout. When price closes above the range high it enters a Long; when price closes below the range low it enters a Short. Stop-loss is placed at the opposite range boundary and take-profit is calculated with a user-configurable Risk:Reward multiplier. Alerts for entries can be enabled.
This strategy is intended for breakout style trading where a clearly defined intraday range is established at a fixed time. It is simple, transparent and easy to adapt to multiple symbols and timeframes.
How it works (step-by-step)
On every bar the script checks the current UTC time.
When the first bar that matches the configured Target Hour:Target Minute (UTC) appears, the script records that candle’s high and low. This defines the breakout range.
A box and dashed lines are drawn on the chart to display the range and extended to the right while the range is active.
The script then waits for price to close outside the box:
Close > Range High → Long entry
Close < Range Low → Short entry
When an entry triggers:
Stop-loss = opposite range boundary (range low for longs, range high for shorts).
Take-profit = entry ± (risk × Risk:Reward). Risk is computed as the distance between entry price and stop-loss.
After entry the range becomes inactive (waitingForBreakout = false) until the next configured target time.
Inputs / Parameters
Target Hour (UTC) — the hour (0–23) in UTC when the range candle is detected.
Target Minute — minute (0–59) of the target candle.
Risk:Reward Ratio — multiplier for computing take profit from risk (0.5–10). Example: 2 means TP = entry + 2×risk.
Enable Alerts — turn on/off entry alerts (string message sent once per bar when an entry occurs).
Show Last Box Only (internal behavior) — when enabled the previous box is deleted at the next range creation so only the most recent range is visible (default behavior in the script).
Visuals & On-chart Info
A semi-transparent blue box shows the recorded range and extends to the right while active.
Dashed horizontal lines mark the range high and low.
On-chart shapes: green triangle below bar for Long signals, red triangle above bar for Short signals.
An information table (top-right) displays:
Target Time (UTC)
Active Range (Yes / No)
Range High
Range Low
Risk:Reward
Alerts
If Enable Alerts is on, the script sends an alert with the following formats when an entry occurs:
Long alert:
🟢 LONG SIGNAL
Entry Price:
Stop Loss:
Take Profit:
Short alert:
🔴 SHORT SIGNAL
Entry Price:
Stop Loss:
Take Profit:
Use TradingView's alert dialog to create alerts based on the script — select the script’s alert condition or use the alert() messages.
Recommended usage & tips
Timeframe: This strategy works on any timeframe but the definition of "candle at target time" depends on the chart timeframe. For intraday breakout styles, use 1m — 60m charts depending on the session you want to capture.
Target Time: Choose a time that is meaningful for the instrument (e.g., market open, economic release, session overlap). All times are handled in UTC.
Position Sizing: The script’s example uses strategy.percent_of_equity with 100% default — change default_qty_value or strategy settings to suit your risk management.
Filtering: Consider combining this breakout with trend filters (EMA, ADX, etc.) to reduce false breakouts.
Backtesting: Always backtest over a sufficiently large and recent sample. Pay attention to slippage and commission settings in TradingView’s strategy tester.
Known behavior & limitations
The script registers the breakout on close outside the recorded range. If you prefer intrabar breakout rules (e.g., high/low breach without close), you must adjust the condition accordingly.
The recorded range is taken from a single candle at the exact configured UTC time. If there are missing bars or the chart timeframe doesn't align, the intended candle may differ — choose the target time and chart timeframe consistently.
Only a single active position is allowed at a time (the script checks strategy.position_size == 0 before entries).
Example setups
EURUSD (Forex): Target Time 07:00 UTC — captures London open range.
Nifty / Index: Target Time 09:15 UTC — captures local session open range.
Crypto: Target Time 00:00 UTC — captures daily reset candle for breakout.
Risk disclaimer
This script is educational and provided as-is. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use proper risk management, test on historical data, and consider slippage and commissions. Do not trade real capital without sufficient testing.
Change log
v1.0 — Initial release: range capture, box and level drawing, long/short entry by close breakout, SL at opposite boundary, TP via Risk:Reward, alerts, info table.
If you want, I can also:
Provide a short README version (2–3 lines) for the TradingView “Short description” field.
Add a couple of suggested alert templates for the TradingView alert dialog (if you want alerts that include variable placeholders).

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.

Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking

HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)
- "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long
Red labels:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume

Crypto Mean Reversion System (Pullback & Bounce)Mean Reversion Theory
The indicator operates on the principle that extreme price movements in crypto markets tend to revert toward their mean over time.
Consider this a valuable aid for your dollar-cost averaging strategy, effectively identifying periods ripe for accumulating or divesting from the market.
Research shows that:
Short-term momentum often persists briefly after surges, but extreme moves trigger mean reversion
Sharp drops exhibit strong bounce patterns, especially after capitulation events
Longer timeframes (7-day) show stronger mean reversion tendencies than shorter ones (1-day)
Timeframe Analysis
1-Day Timeframe
Pullback probabilities: 45-85% depending on surge magnitude
Bounce probabilities: 55-95% depending on drop severity
Captures immediate overextension and panic selling
More volatile but faster signal generation
7-Day Timeframe
Pullback probabilities: 50-90% (higher confidence)
Bounce probabilities: 50-90% (slightly moderated)
Filters out noise and identifies sustained trends
Stronger mean reversion signals due to extended moves
Probability Tiers
Pullback Risk (After Surges)
Moderate (45-60%): 5-10% surge → Expected -3% to -12% pullback
High (55-70%): 10-15% surge → Expected -5% to -18% pullback
Very High (65-80%): 15-25% surge → Expected -10% to -25% pullback
Extreme (75-90%): 25%+ surge → Expected -15% to -40% pullback
Bounce Probability (After Drops)
Moderate (55-65%): -5% to -10% drop → Expected +3% to +10% bounce
High (65-75%): -10% to -15% drop → Expected +6% to +18% bounce
Very High (75-85%): -15% to -25% drop → Expected +10% to +30% bounce
Extreme (85-95%): -25%+ drop → Expected +18% to +45% bounce
The probability ranges are derived from:
Crypto volatility patterns: Higher volatility than traditional assets creates stronger mean reversion
Behavioral finance: Extreme moves trigger emotional trading (FOMO/panic) that reverses
Historical backtesting: Probability estimates based on typical reversion patterns in crypto markets
Timeframe correlation: Longer timeframes show increased reversion probability due to reduced noise
Key Features
Dual-direction signals: Identifies both overbought (pullback) and oversold (bounce) conditions
Multi-timeframe confirmation: 1D and 7D analysis for different trading styles
Customizable thresholds: Adjust sensitivity based on asset volatility
Visual alerts: Color-coded labels and table for quick assessment
Risk categorization: Clear severity levels for position sizing
Seasonality con números RAMÓN SEGOVIAMonthly Bands – Colored Monthly Stripes for Statistical Analysis
Short Description
This indicator paints vertical background stripes by calendar month on your chart, making it easy to run statistical/seasonality analysis, compare monthly performance, and visually identify recurring patterns across assets and timeframes.
How It Works
Detects each new month and applies a background band spanning from the first to the last candle of that month.
Alternates colors automatically so consecutive months are easy to distinguish, or use a single uniform color for a clean look.
Optional: add dotted lines at the start/end of each month for precise separation.
Inputs / Settings
Color mode: alternating (odd/even months) or single.
Colors & opacity of the bands.
Border style: none / solid / dotted.
Highlight specific months: e.g., “Jan, Apr, Oct” with a different color.
Labels option: show month & year abbreviations at the top/bottom of the chart.
Drawing zone: full background vs. price-only area (to avoid covering lower indicators).
Typical Use Cases
Seasonality studies: identify historically bullish/bearish months.
Visual backtesting: segment the chart by months to evaluate strategy performance.
Context tracking: quickly locate reports, monthly closes, or economic cycles.
Compatibility
Works on all timeframes, including intraday (each band covers the full calendar month).
Lightweight and visual-only; doesn’t interfere with price or indicators.
Pro Tips
Combine with monthly returns (%) or candle counters to quantify each stripe.
Use labels when preparing clean presentations or trade journal screenshots.
Notes
This is a visual tool only, not a buy/sell signal generator.
Default settings are optimized for clarity and minimal clutter.
Price Level Highlighter [ldlwtrades]This indicator is a minimalist and highly effective tool designed for traders who incorporate institutional concepts into their analysis. It automates the identification of key psychological price levels and adds a unique, dynamic layer of information to help you focus on the most relevant area of the market. Inspired by core principles of market structure and liquidity, it serves as a powerful visual guide for anticipating potential support and resistance.
The core idea is simple: specific price points, particularly those ending in round numbers or common increments, often act as magnets or barriers for price. While many indicators simply plot static lines, this tool goes further by intelligently highlighting the single most significant level in real-time. This dynamic feature allows you to quickly pinpoint where the market is currently engaged, offering a clear reference point for your trading decisions. It reduces chart clutter and enhances your focus on the immediate price action.
Features
Customizable Price Range: Easily define a specific Start Price and End Price to focus the indicator on the most relevant area of your chart, preventing unnecessary clutter.
Adjustable Increment: Change the interval of the lines to suit your trading style, from high-frequency increments (e.g., 10 points) for scalping to wider intervals (e.g., 50 or 100 points) for swing trading.
Intelligent Highlighting: A key feature that automatically identifies and highlights the single horizontal line closest to the current market price with a distinct color and thickness. This gives you an immediate visual cue for the most relevant price level.
Highly Customizabile: Adjust the line color, style, and width for both the main lines and the highlighted line to fit your personal chart aesthetic.
Usage
Apply the indicator to your chart.
In the settings, input your desired price range (Start Price and End Price) to match the market you are trading.
Set the Price Increment to your preferred density.
Monitor the chart for the highlighted line. This is your active price level and a key area of interest.
Combine this tool with other confirmation signals (e.g., order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity pools) to build higher-probability trade setups.
Best Practices
Pairing: This tool is effective across all markets, including stocks, forex, indices, and crypto. It is particularly useful for volatile markets where price moves rapidly between psychological levels.
Mindful Analysis: Use the highlighted level as a reference point for your analysis, not as a standalone signal. A break above or below this level can signify a shift in market control.
Backtesting: Always backtest the indicator on your preferred market and timeframe to understand how it performs under different conditions.
Recovery StrategyDescription:
The Recovery Strategy is a long-only trading system designed to capitalize on significant price drops from recent highs. It enters a position when the price falls 10% or more from the highest high over a 6-month lookback period and adds positions on further 2% drops, up to a maximum of 5 positions. Each trade is held for 6 months before exiting, regardless of profit or loss. The strategy uses margin to amplify position sizes, with a default leverage of 5:1 (20% margin requirement). All key parameters are customizable via inputs, allowing flexibility for different assets and timeframes. Visual markers indicate recent highs for reference.
How It Works:
Entry: Buys when the closing price drops 10% or more from the recent high (highest high in the lookback period, default 126 bars ~6 months). If already in a position, additional buys occur on further 2% drops (e.g., 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%), up to 5 positions (pyramiding).
Exit: Each trade exits after its own holding period (default 126 bars ~6 months), regardless of profit or loss. No stop loss or take-profit is used.
Margin: Uses leverage to control larger positions (default 20% margin, 5:1 leverage). The order size is a percentage of equity (default 100%), adjustable via inputs.
Visualization: Displays blue markers (without text) at new recent highs to highlight reference levels.
Inputs:
Lookback Period for High Peak (bars): Number of bars to look back for the recent high (default: 126, ~6 months on daily charts).
Initial Drop Percentage to Buy (%): Percentage drop from recent high to trigger the first buy (default: 10.0%).
Additional Drop Percentage to Buy (%): Further drop percentage to add positions (default: 2.0%).
Holding Period (bars): Number of bars to hold each position before selling (default: 126, ~6 months).
Order Size (% of Equity): Percentage of equity used per trade (default: 100%).
Margin for Long Positions (%): Percentage of position value covered by equity (default: 20%, equivalent to 5:1 leverage).
Usage:
Timeframe: Designed for daily charts (126 bars ~6 months). Adjust Lookback Period and Holding Period for other timeframes (e.g., 1008 hours for hourly charts, assuming 8 trading hours/day).
Assets: Suitable for stocks, ETFs, or other assets with significant price volatility. Test thoroughly on your chosen asset.
Settings: Customize inputs in the strategy settings to match your risk tolerance and market conditions. For example, lower Margin for Long Positions (e.g., to 10% for 10:1 leverage) to increase position sizes, but beware of higher risk.
Backtesting: Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to evaluate performance. Check the “List of Trades” for skipped trades due to insufficient equity or margin requirements.
Risks and Considerations:
No Stop Loss: The strategy holds trades for the full 6 months without a stop loss, exposing it to significant drawdowns in prolonged downtrends.
Margin Risk: Leverage (default 5:1) amplifies both profits and losses. Ensure sufficient equity to cover margin requirements to avoid skipped trades or simulated margin calls.
Pyramiding: Up to 5 positions can be open simultaneously, increasing exposure. Adjust pyramiding in the code if fewer positions are desired (e.g., change to pyramiding=3).
Market Conditions: Performance depends on price drops and recoveries. Test on historical data to assess effectiveness in your market.
Broker Emulator: TradingView’s paper trading simulates margin but does not execute real margin trading. Results may differ in live trading due to broker-specific margin rules.
How to Use:
Add the strategy to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust input parameters in the settings panel to suit your asset, timeframe, and risk preferences.
Run a backtest in the Strategy Tester to evaluate performance.
Monitor open positions and margin levels in the Trading Panel to manage risk.
For live trading, consult your broker’s margin requirements and leverage policies, as TradingView’s simulation may not match real-world conditions.
Disclaimer:
This strategy is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, especially with leverage and no stop loss. Always backtest thoroughly and consult a financial advisor before using any strategy in live trading.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND
The Laguerre filter was developed by John Ehlers, applying Laguerre polynomials (used in quantum mechanics) to financial markets. These polynomials provide an elegant solution to the lag-smoothness tradeoff that plagues traditional moving averages.
The Kalman filter, developed by Rudolf Kalman in 1960, is used in everything from GPS systems to spacecraft navigation. It provides the mathematically optimal estimate of a system's state given noisy measurements.
By combining these two approaches, this indicator achieves what neither can alone: a smooth, responsive trend line that adapts to market conditions while filtering out noise.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
Confirm with Volume: Strong trends should have increasing volume
Multiple Timeframes: Use higher timeframe for trend, lower for entry
Combine with Momentum: RSI or MACD can confirm filter signals
Market Conditions: Adjust noise parameter based on market volatility
Backtesting: Always test settings on your specific instrument
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
No indicator is perfect - always use proper risk management
Best suited for trending markets
May produce false signals in choppy/ranging conditions
Not financial advice - for educational purposes only
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 CONCLUSION
The Laguerre-Kalman Adaptive Filter represents a significant advancement in technical analysis, bringing institutional-grade mathematical techniques to retail traders. Its unique combination of polynomial filtering and optimal estimation provides a clean, reliable trend-following tool that adapts to changing market conditions.
Whether you're scalping on the 1-minute chart or position trading on the daily, this indicator provides clear, actionable signals with minimal false positives.
"In the world of technical analysis, the edge comes from using better mathematics. This indicator delivers that edge."

Smart Structure Breaks & Order BlocksOverview (What it does)
The indicator “Smart Structure Breaks & Order Blocks” detects market structure using swing highs and lows, identifies Break of Structure (BOS) events, and automatically draws order blocks (OBs) from the origin candle. These zones extend to the right and change color/outline when mitigated or invalidated. By formalizing and automating part of discretionary analysis, it provides consistent zone recognition.
Main Components
Swing Detection: ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow identify confirmed swing points.
BOS Detection: Determines if the recent swing high/low is broken by close (strict mode) or crossover.
OB Creation: After a BOS, the opposite candle (bearish for bullish BOS, bullish for bearish BOS) is used to generate an order block zone.
Zone Management: Limits the number of zones, extends them to the right, and tracks tagged (mitigated) or invalidated states.
Input Parameters
Left/Right Pivot (default 6/6): Number of bars required on each side to confirm a swing. Higher values = smoother swings.
Max Zones (default 4): Maximum zones stored per direction (bull/bear). Oldest zones are overwritten.
Zone Confirmation Lookback (default 3): Ensures OB origin candle validity by checking recent highs/lows.
Show Swing Points (default ON): Displays triangles on swing highs/lows.
Require close for BOS? (default ON): Strict BOS (close required) vs loose BOS (line crossover).
Use candle body for zones (default OFF): Zones drawn from candle body (ON) or wick (OFF).
Signal Definition & Logic
Swing Updates: Latest confirmed pivots update lastHighLevel / lastLowLevel.
BOS (Break of Structure):
Bullish – close breaks last swing high.
Bearish – close breaks last swing low.
Only one valid BOS per swing (avoids duplicates).
OB Detection:
Bullish BOS → previous bearish candle with lowest low forms the OB.
Bearish BOS → previous bullish candle with highest high forms the OB.
Zones: Bull = green, Bear = red, semi-transparent, extended to the right.
Zone States:
Mitigated: Price touches the zone → border highlighted.
Invalidated:
Bull zone → close below → turns red.
Bear zone → close above → turns green.
Chart Appearance
Swing High: red triangle above bar
Swing Low: green triangle below bar
Bull OB: green zone (border highlighted on touch)
Bear OB: red zone (border highlighted on touch)
Invalid Zones: Bull zones turn reddish, Bear zones turn greenish
Practical Use (Trading Assistance)
Trend Following Entries: Buy pullbacks into green OBs in uptrends, sell rallies into red OBs in downtrends.
Focus on First Touch: First mitigation after BOS often has higher reaction probability.
Confluence: Combine with higher timeframe trend, volume, session levels, key price levels (previous highs/lows, VWAP, etc.).
Stops/Targets:
Bull – stop below zone, partial take profit at swing high or resistance.
Bear – stop above zone, partial take profit at swing low or support.
Parameter Tuning (per market/timeframe)
Pivot (6/6 → 4/4/8/8): Lower for scalping (3–5), medium for day trading (5–8), higher for swing trading (8–14). Increase to reduce noise.
Strict Break: ON to reduce false breaks in ranging markets; OFF for earlier signals.
Body Zones: ON for assets with long wicks, OFF for cleaner OBs in liquid instruments.
Zone Confirmation (default 3): Increase for stricter OB origin, fewer zones.
Max Zones (default 4 → 6–10): Increase for higher volatility, decrease to avoid clutter.
Strengths
Standardizes BOS and OB detection that is usually subjective.
Tracks mitigation and invalidation automatically.
Adaptable: allows body/wick zone switching for different instruments.
Limitations
Pivot-based: Signals appear only after pivots confirm (slight lag).
Zones reflect past balance: Can fail after new events (news, earnings, macro data).
Range-heavy markets: More false BOS; consider stricter settings.
Backtesting: This script is for drawing/visual aid; trading rules must be defined separately.
Workflow Example
Identify higher timeframe trend (4H/Daily).
On lower TF (15–60m), wait for BOS and new OB.
Enter on first mitigation with confirmation candle.
Stop beyond zone; targets based on R multiples and swing points.
FAQ
Q: Why are zones invalidated quickly?
A: Flow reversal after BOS. Adjust pivots higher, enable Strict mode, or switch to Body zones to reduce noise.
Q: What does “tagged” mean?
A: Price touched the zone once = mitigated. Implies some orders in that zone may have been filled.
Q: Body or Wick zones?
A: Wick zones are fine in clean markets. For volatile pairs with long wicks, body zones provide more realistic areas.
Customization Tips (Code perspective)
Zone storage: Currently ring buffer ((idx+1) % zoneLimit). Could prioritize keeping unmitigated zones.
Automated testing: Add strategy.entry/exit for rule-based backtests.
Multi-timeframe: Use request.security() for higher timeframe swings/BOS.
Visualization: Add labels for BOS bars, tag zones with IDs, count touches.
Summary
This indicator formalizes the cycle Swing → BOS → OB creation → Mitigation/Invalidation, providing consistent structure analysis and zone tracking. By tuning sensitivity and strictness, and combining with higher timeframe context, it enhances pullback/continuation trading setups. Always combine with proper risk management.

EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.
BUY in HASH RibbonsHash Ribbons Indicator (BUY Signal)
A TradingView Pine Script v6 implementation for identifying Bitcoin miner capitulation (“Springs”) and recovery phases based on hash rate data. It marks potential low-risk buying opportunities by tracking short- and long-term moving averages of the network hash rate.
⸻
Key Features
• Hash Rate SMAs
• Short-term SMA (default: 30 days)
• Long-term SMA (default: 60 days)
• Phase Markers
• Gray circle: Short SMA crosses below long SMA (start of capitulation)
• White circles: Ongoing capitulation, with brighter white when the short SMA turns upward
• Yellow circle: Short SMA crosses back above long SMA (end of capitulation)
• Orange circle: Buy signal once hash rate recovery aligns with bullish price momentum (10-day price SMA crosses above 20-day price SMA)
• Display Modes
• Ribbons: Plots the two SMAs as colored bands—red for capitulation, green for recovery
• Oscillator: Shows the percentage difference between SMAs as a histogram (red for negative, blue for positive)
• Optional Overlays
• Bitcoin halving dates (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024) with dashed lines and labels
• Raw hash rate data in EH/s
• Alerts
• Configurable alerts for capitulation start, recovery, and buy signals
⸻
How It Works
1. Data Source: Fetches daily hash rate values from a selected provider (e.g., IntoTheBlock, Quandl).
2. Capitulation Detection: When the 30-day SMA falls below the 60-day SMA, miners are likely capitulating.
3. Recovery Identification: A rising 30-day SMA during capitulation signals miner recovery.
4. Buy Signal: Confirmed when the hash rate recovery coincides with a bullish shift in price momentum (10-day price SMA > 20-day price SMA).
⸻
Inputs
Hash Rate Short SMA: 30 days
Hash Rate Long SMA: 60 days
Plot Signals: On
Plot Halvings: Off
Plot Raw Hash Rate: Off
⸻
Considerations
• Timeframe: Best applied on daily charts to capture meaningful miner behavior.
• Data Reliability: Ensure the chosen hash rate source provides consistent, gap-free data.
• Risk Management: Use alongside other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) and fundamental analysis.
• Backtesting: Evaluate performance over different market cycles before live deployment.
Trigonometric StochasticTrigonometric Stochastic - Mathematical Smoothing Oscillator
Overview
A revolutionary approach to stochastic oscillation using sine wave mathematical smoothing. This indicator transforms traditional stochastic calculations through trigonometric functions, creating an ultra-smooth oscillator that reduces noise while maintaining sensitivity to price changes.
Mathematical Foundation
Unlike standard stochastic oscillators, this version applies sine wave smoothing:
• Raw Stochastic: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low) × 100
• Trigonometric Smoothing: 50 + 50 × sin(2π × raw_stochastic / 100)
• Result: Naturally smooth oscillator with mathematical precision
Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Technology
• Sine Wave Filter: Eliminates choppy movements while preserving signal integrity
• Natural Boundaries: Mathematically constrained between 0-100
• Reduced False Signals: Trigonometric smoothing filters market noise effectively
Traditional Stochastic Levels
• Overbought Zone: 80 level (dashed line)
• Oversold Zone: 20 level (dashed line)
• Midline: 50 level (dotted line) - equilibrium point
• Visual Clarity: Clean oscillator panel with clear level markings
Smart Signal Generation
• Anti-Repaint Logic: Uses confirmed previous bar values
• Buy Signals: Generated when crossing above 30 from oversold territory
• Sell Signals: Generated when crossing below 70 from overbought territory
• Crossover Detection: Precise entry/exit timing
Professional Presentation
• Separate Panel: Dedicated oscillator window (overlay=false)
• Price Format: Formatted as price indicator with 2-decimal precision
• Theme Adaptive: Automatically matches your chart color scheme
Parameters
• Cycle Length (5-200): Period for highest/lowest calculations
- Shorter periods = more sensitive, more signals
- Longer periods = smoother, fewer but stronger signals
Trading Applications
Momentum Analysis
• Overbought/Oversold: Clear visual identification of extreme levels
• Momentum Shifts: Early detection of momentum changes
• Trend Strength: Monitor oscillator position relative to midline
Signal Trading
• Long Entries: Buy when crossing above 30 (oversold bounce)
• Short Entries: Sell when crossing below 70 (overbought rejection)
• Confirmation Tool: Use with trend indicators for higher probability trades
Divergence Detection
• Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, oscillator makes higher lows
• Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, oscillator makes lower highs
• Early Warning: Spot potential trend reversals before they occur
Trading Strategies
Scalping (5-15min timeframes)
• Use cycle length 10-14 for quick signals
• Focus on 20/80 level bounces
• Combine with price action confirmation
Swing Trading (1H-4H timeframes)
• Use cycle length 20-30 for reliable signals
• Wait for clear crossovers with momentum
• Monitor divergences for reversal setups
Position Trading (Daily+ timeframes)
• Use cycle length 50+ for major signals
• Focus on extreme readings (below 10, above 90)

Normalized Volume IndexIn the realm of technical analysis, volume is more than just a measure of market activity—it’s a window into trader psychology. Two classic indicators that harness this insight are the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and Negative Volume Index (NVI). Developed in the early 20th century by Paul L. Dysart and later refined by Norman G. Fosback in 1976, these tools aim to distinguish between the behavior of the so-called “smart money” and the broader market crowd.
- Positive Volume Index (PVI) tracks price changes only on days when trading volume increases. It assumes that rising volume reflects the actions of less-informed retail traders—those who follow the herd.
- Negative Volume Index (NVI), on the other hand, focuses on days when volume decreases, under the premise that institutional investors (the “smart money”) are more active when the market is quiet.
This dichotomy allows traders to interpret market sentiment through the lens of volume behavior. For example, a rising NVI during a price uptrend may suggest that institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions—often a bullish signal.
Traders use PVI and NVI to:
- Confirm trends: If NVI is above its moving average, it often signals a strong underlying trend supported by smart money.
- Spot reversals: Divergences between price and either index can hint at weakening momentum or upcoming reversals.
- Gauge participation: PVI rising faster than price may indicate overenthusiastic retail buying—potentially a contrarian signal.
These indicators are often paired with moving averages (e.g., 255-day EMA) to generate actionable signals. Fosback’s research suggested that when NVI is above its one-year EMA, there’s a high probability of a bull market.
While PVI and NVI are cumulative indices, normalizing them—for example, by rebasing to 100 or converting to percentage changes—offers several benefits:
- Comparability: Normalized indices can be compared across different assets or timeframes.
- Clarity: It becomes easier to visualize relative strength or weakness.
- Backtesting: Normalized values are more suitable for algorithmic strategies and statistical analysis.
Normalization also helps when combining PVI/NVI with other indicators in multi-factor models, ensuring no single metric dominates due to scale differences
In essence, PVI and NVI offer a nuanced view of market dynamics by separating the noise of volume surges from the quiet confidence of institutional moves. When normalized and interpreted correctly, they become powerful allies in a trader’s decision-making toolkit.
How to use this (Educational material):
For instance, on average, when the Negative Volume Index (NVI) remains above its midline, the market tends to trend positively, reflecting consistent institutional participation. However, when the NVI dips and stays below the midline, it often signals a negative trend, indicating that smart money is stepping away or reducing exposure.
Another telling scenario occurs when the Positive Volume Index (PVI) drops below the NVI. While this might coincide with a brief price dip, institutions often interpret this as an opportunity to buy the dip, quietly accumulating positions while retail participants exit in panic. The result? A market recovery driven by smart money.
Conversely, when the PVI consistently remains above the NVI, it may point to retail enthusiasm outpacing institutional support. This imbalance can flag a tired or overextended trend, where the smart money has already positioned itself defensively. When this pattern persists, there's a high likelihood that institutions will pull the plug, leading to a pronounced trend reversal.

Supertrend with Volume Filter AlertSupertrend with Volume Filter Alert - Indicator Overview
What is the Supertrend Indicator?
The Supertrend indicator is a popular trend-following tool used by traders to identify the direction of the market and potential entry/exit points. It is based on the Average True Range (ATR), which measures volatility, and plots a line on the chart that acts as a dynamic support or resistance level. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it signals an uptrend (bullish), and when the price is below, it indicates a downtrend (bearish). The indicator is particularly effective in trending markets but can generate false signals during choppy or sideways conditions.
How This Script Works
The "Supertrend with Volume Filter Alert" enhances the classic Supertrend indicator by adding a customizable volume filter to improve signal reliability.
Here's how it functions:
Supertrend Calculation:The Supertrend is calculated using the ATR over a user-defined period (default: 55) and a multiplier (default: 1.85). These parameters control the sensitivity of the indicator:A higher ATR period smooths out volatility, making the indicator less reactive to short-term price fluctuations.The multiplier determines the distance of the Supertrend line from the price, affecting how quickly it responds to trend changes.The script plots the Supertrend line in cyan for uptrends and red for downtrends, making it easy to visualize the market direction.
Volume Filter:A key feature of this script is the volume filter, which helps filter out false signals in choppy markets. The filter compares the current volume to the average volume over a lookback period (default: 20) and only triggers signals if the volume exceeds the average by a specified multiplier (default: 2.0).This ensures that trend changes are accompanied by significant market participation, increasing the likelihood of a genuine trend shift.
Signals and Alerts:
Buy signals (cyan triangle below the bar) are generated when the price crosses above the Supertrend line (indicating an uptrend) and the volume condition is met.Sell signals (red triangle above the bar) are generated when the price crosses below the Supertrend line (indicating a downtrend) and the volume condition is met.Alerts are set up for both buy and sell signals, notifying traders only when the volume filter confirms the trend change.
Customizable Settings for Multiple Markets
The default settings in this script (ATR Period: 55, ATR Multiplier: 1.85, Volume Lookback Period: 20, Volume Multiplier: 2.0) were carefully chosen to provide a balance of sensitivity and reliability across various markets, including stocks, indices (like the S&P 500), forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Here's why these settings work well:
ATR Period (55): A longer ATR period smooths out volatility, making the indicator less prone to whipsaws in volatile markets like crypto or forex, while still being responsive enough for trending markets like indices.
ATR Multiplier (1.85): This multiplier strikes a balance between capturing early trend changes and avoiding noise. A smaller multiplier would make the indicator too sensitive, while a larger one might miss early opportunities.
Volume Lookback Period (20): A 20-bar lookback for volume averaging provides a robust baseline for identifying significant volume spikes, adaptable to both short-term (e.g., daily charts) and longer-term (e.g., weekly charts) timeframes.
Volume Multiplier (2.0): Requiring volume to be at least 2x the average ensures that only high-conviction moves trigger signals, which is crucial for markets with varying liquidity levels.
These parameters are fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust the indicator to their specific market, timeframe, or trading style. For example, you might reduce the ATR period for faster-moving markets or increase the volume multiplier for more conservative signal filtering.
How the Volume Filter Reduces Bad Trades in Choppy Markets
One of the main drawbacks of the Supertrend indicator is its tendency to generate false signals during choppy or ranging markets, where price fluctuates without a clear trend. The volume filter in this script addresses this issue by ensuring that trend changes are backed by significant market activity:
In choppy markets, price movements often lack strong volume, leading to false breakouts or reversals. By requiring volume to be a multiple (default: 2x) of the average volume over the lookback period, the script filters out these low-volume, low-conviction moves.This reduces the likelihood of taking bad trades during sideways markets, as only trend changes with strong volume confirmation will trigger signals. For example, on a daily chart of the S&P 500, a buy signal will only fire if the price crosses above the Supertrend line and the volume on that day is at least twice the 20-day average, indicating genuine buying pressure.
Usage Tips
Markets and Timeframes: This indicator is versatile and can be used on various assets (stocks, indices, forex, crypto) and timeframes (1-minute, 1-hour, daily, etc.). Adjust the settings based on the market's volatility and your trading strategy.
Combine with Other Indicators: While the volume filter improves reliability, consider using additional indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm trends, especially in ranging markets.
Backtesting: Test the indicator on historical data for your chosen market to optimize the settings and ensure they align with your trading goals.
Alerts: Set up alerts for buy and sell signals to stay informed of high-probability trend changes without constantly monitoring the chart.
ConclusionThe "Supertrend with Volume Filter Alert" is a powerful tool for trend-following traders, combining the simplicity of the Supertrend indicator with a volume-based filter to enhance signal accuracy. Its customizable settings make it adaptable to multiple markets, while the volume filter helps reduce false signals in choppy conditions, allowing traders to focus on high-probability trades. Whether you're trading stocks, indices, forex, or crypto, this indicator can help you identify trends with greater confidence.
