TradePulse ProTradepulse is a proprietary trading tool that combines a directional signal engine, a trend-adaptive trailing stop system, and a momentum confirmation oscillator into a unified decision framework. Instead of simply stacking separate indicators on a chart, TradePulse integrates these components into a single rules-based system designed to help traders act with structure rather than emotion by identifying conditions where trend and momentum are aligning.
How It Works:
Directional Signals - TradePulse uses a custom price-average model with ATR-based volatility thresholds to detect transitions between bullish and bearish environments. Buy and Sell markers appear only when price strength and volatility conditions confirm a shift. Reducing noise and late entries.
Trend-Adaptive Trailing Stop - A dynamic trailing system combines smoothed moving averages with ATR expansion logic. As price develops, the trailing level adjusts automatically and target projections update based on symmetry extensions. Helping guide structured exits and trade management.
Momentum Confirmation - A proprietary oscillator blends stochastic positioning with center-of-gravity transformation and dual smoothing. It highlights whether momentum aligns with the directional shift, helping traders avoid weaker setups and focus on higher-quality conditions.
Key Features:
- Clear Buy/Sell transitions based on multi-factor confluence
- Adaptive trailing stop + projected targets for structured management
- Momentum filtering to support higher-quality opportunities
- Sensitivity adjustments to suit different markets & styles
TradePulse is original work protected under invite-only access. It is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Trading involves risk, and signals should always be validated with your own analysis and risk management.

Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator# Short description
A clean, volume-weighted Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO) that highlights buying/selling pressure by comparing cumulative AD to its EMA — ideal for confirming trends, spotting divergences, and timing entries with volume context.
# Full description
**Overview**
The Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO) measures the relationship between price and volume by taking a cumulative Accumulation/Distribution value and subtracting its exponential moving average. The resulting oscillator emphasizes recent shifts in accumulation (buying) and distribution (selling), making it easier to spot momentum changes and volume-driven confirmations or divergences.
**How it works (brief)**
* Computes the standard accumulation/distribution contribution each bar using price position within the range and multiplies it by volume.
* Builds a cumulative AD series and smooths it with an EMA.
* The oscillator = cumulative AD − EMA(cumulative AD). Positive values indicate rising accumulation relative to the trend, negative values indicate rising distribution.
**Inputs**
* `length` — EMA smoothing period (default: 20). Adjust to tune sensitivity: lower values = faster signals, higher values = smoother trend.
**Interpretation & signals**
* **Above zero**: recent accumulation momentum — bullish bias.
* **Below zero**: recent distribution momentum — bearish bias.
* **Crosses of zero**: simple entry/exit trigger (cross above = potential long, cross below = potential short).
* **Divergences**: price making new highs while ADO fails to make new highs → bearish divergence (sell signal). Price making new lows while ADO fails to make new lows → bullish divergence (buy signal).
* **Slope and magnitude**: steep, growing positive readings suggest strong buying pressure; steep, growing negative readings suggest strong selling pressure.
**Suggested usage**
* Use ADO to confirm breakout strength: a price breakout with ADO rising above zero has higher probability.
* Combine with trend filters (e.g., moving averages) to trade in the direction of the main trend.
* Use divergence with price action or candles for higher-probability reversal setups.
* Best applied on intraday and swing timeframes where volume data is reliable. May be less effective on low-volume or synthetic data.
**Alert examples (copy into TradingView alert message)**
* `ADO Bullish: Oscillator crossed above 0`
* `ADO Bearish: Oscillator crossed below 0`
* `ADO Momentum Up: Oscillator turned positive and rising`
* `ADO Divergence: Price made new high but ADO did not — check for potential reversal`
**Practical tips**
* Shorten `length` (e.g., 8–12) for more responsive signals on lower timeframes; lengthen (e.g., 30–50) for smoother, long-term signals.
* Confirm signals with volume profile or volume spike filters to avoid false breakouts.
* Always validate with support/resistance and manage risk with stops sized to your strategy.

Triple Screen System [FlexibleMAs MACD-RSI-ADX]#### Triple Screen System (TSS-FMR)
The TSS-FMR script is a specialized, multi-timeframe confirmation tool built for Swing, Positional Traders, and Longer Term Investors. It is engineered to filter out low-conviction noise by implementing an advanced interpretation of the Elder's Triple Screen strategy, relying on proprietary momentum, volatility, and volume analysis to isolate high-probability setups.
---
#### 🧠 Core Methodology & Logic
The TSS-FMR synthesizes three distinct layers of confirmation to generate signals:
1. Macro Trend & Volatility: Determines the primary trend and overall market condition using configurable EMA+RSI metrics , the script uses Average Directional Index (ADX) as an internal component to filter out non-trending, consolidating market conditions.
2. Momentum Synchronization: A proprietary filter requiring MACD,MAs and RSI to be synchronized * within a specified bar window (`MACD/RSI Sync Window`) ensures that entries align with current short-term momentum shifts.
3. Volume & Price Action: Final entry is triggered only when the higher timeframes align and the entry timeframe (Daily or 4H) confirms the move, optionally requiring * Candle Confirmation * and filtering out low-quality trades using the * Volume Filter *
The key is the separation of input thresholds and lengths for Weekly and Daily lookbacks, allowing for precise tuning unavailable in standard public libraries.
---
#### 🎯 Understanding Signal Strength & Conviction
Signals are categorized using a proprietary Strength scale (from Overbought/Oversold to 6) to help traders gauge the potential size and probability of the momentum move, This scale is dynamically influenced by the ADX volatility readings.
#### 🔍 Integrating External Visual Tools (Addressing Rule: Vendor/Chart)
The TSS-FMR generates signals based solely on its internal logic and inputs .*
We recommend overlaying the TSS-FMR signals with external tools (such as the Lux Algo SmartMoneyConcepts indicator or similar public S/R tools) for visual confirmation only :
* Signals (2, 3, 4) + CHOCH/BOS: * A signal with lower internal strength (2-4) gains stronger conviction if it aligns precisely with a CHOCH or BOS event visually identified by the external tool. This confirms that the market structure is validating the script's momentum reading.
Zone Confirmation: When signals land precisely within visually defined Liquidity or Accumulation/Distribution Zones (provided by external visual tools), it adds significant conviction to the TSS-FMR's output.
The *Overbought/Oversold regions* are decided based on the script's internal strength calculation and prevailing price action.
#### Summary:
--- This script is for Swing, Positional Traders and Longer Term Investors
--- It will only work with Monthly,Weekly, Daily and 4H chart to help you make confirmation based positions.
--- Sell Signals are Overbought Exits and Short sell signals, Plan according to Weekly Signals and Daily signals
--- Use the Momentum Table/matrix at the right top of the chart when TSS indicator is active.
--- Use Volume Filter enable to remove chaos of signals
--- Keep *Lux Algo -SmartMoneyConcepts* indicator active for visual of zones
--- Adjust Volume Filter in Settings to avoid crowding of signals
--- Adjust Input signal length to select number of history bars
--- Watch-out for Weekly 100ema Line and
--- Watch-out for Sell Signals, in discount region they are marked as Buy oversold or moderate, vise versa Sell Overbought signals are added to the charts.
--- To earn money, we need to look out for early signals, fake breakouts, breakdowns and what we want the table/matrix turning all green or red in Momentum trades.

Trapper Absolute PriceActionThe Trapper Absolute PriceAction (TAPA) indicator is a custom, momentum-based oscillator designed to help traders visually read shifts in bullish and bearish price strength — with no reliance on volume or external data.
TAPA calculates and smooths both bullish and bearish momentum using multiple methods (RSI, Stochastic, or ADX) and compares their relative strength in real time. The result is a clean dual-line oscillator with color-coded histograms that highlight which side of the market currently has control.
It was built to give traders a sniper-level precision tool for detecting early momentum shifts before they appear clearly on price charts, allowing confirmation or invalidation of setups faster than with lagging indicators.
How It Works
Momentum Strength Calculation
The script measures directional price movement across the chosen mode (RSI, Stochastic, or ADX).
These values are smoothed twice using a selectable moving average type (WMA, EMA, SMA, ALMA, HMA, etc.).
Bullish & Bearish Curves
The green line represents smoothed bullish momentum (SmthBulls).
The orange/red line represents smoothed bearish momentum (SmthBears).
Histogram Strength Visualization
The distance between the two curves forms a color-coded histogram.
Green/Lime bars indicate growing bullish control, while Orange/Red bars show bearish dominance.
A gray neutral zone reflects indecision or range-bound conditions.
Signal Triggers
BUY 🐂 appears when the green line crosses up through the orange — signaling a bullish momentum flip.
SELL 🐻 appears when the green line crosses down through the orange — signaling bearish control.
Alerts can be enabled directly in TradingView through the BUY (🐂) or SELL (🐻) alert conditions for automated notifications or integrations.
How to Use
1. Confirm Early Momentum Shifts
When a crossover appears, check that the histogram color supports the move (green shades for bullish, red/orange for bearish).
Avoid signals when both lines are tangled and the histogram alternates gray, that usually indicates consolidation or low volatility.
2. Validate with Higher-Timeframe Structure
TAPA is most powerful when aligned with trend structure from higher timeframes.
Example: A bullish crossover on the 1-hour timeframe, while the daily TAPA shows the green line already rising, can confirm momentum alignment before entry.
3. Combine with Support/Resistance
Mark your key support and resistance zones (manual or using your “Trapper S&R PRO” indicator).
Look for a TAPA bullish crossover occurring at a major support zone, that’s often the start of a reversal move.
4. Multi-Mode Analysis
Experiment with “Indicator Method” in the inputs:
RSI Mode - smoother and responsive for swing trading.
Stochastic Mode - better for short-term entries and exits.
ADX Mode - captures trending momentum on strong breakouts.
Examples
Bullish Example:
Price forms a higher low on the chart while TAPA’s green line crosses up through orange with a lime/green histogram. That’s a strong early signal that momentum is reversing before price confirms on structure.
Bearish Example:
Price rallies into resistance, then TAPA shows a red histogram and a bearish cross (green dropping under orange). That’s typically a high-probability short signal once structure breaks.
What Makes TAPA Different
No Volume Dependency: Focuses purely on price behavior, not volume spikes or anomalies.
Multi-Mode Engine: Switch between RSI, Stochastic, or ADX-style momentum math instantly.
Customizable Visuals: Editable histogram color layers (weak/strong bull/bear, neutral) and line color control.
Sniper Labeling System: Clean, minimal BUY/SELL cues at each verified crossover.
Alert-Ready: Built-in conditions allow for TradingView alerts, webhooks, or bot automation.
Modernized Core: Rebuilt in Pine v6 with optimized performance and compliance to TradingView standards.
TAPA is designed to filter out the noise and show what truly drives a move — the shift in control between buyers and sellers.
Best Pairing Indicators
To get maximum clarity and confluence:
Trapper Support & Resistance PRO
Helps identify key zones where momentum flips from TAPA have the most impact. A bullish crossover at a defined support level often marks an early trend reversal.
Trapper Volume Trigger
While TAPA doesn’t use volume internally, pairing it with a volume-based trigger confirms that momentum shifts have institutional participation.
Simple Moving Averages (5, 20, or 50)
Overlay short and mid-term SMAs on your chart to confirm directional bias. A bullish TAPA cross that aligns with SMA-5 crossing above SMA-20 increases reliability.

HTF Candles with PVSRA Volume Coloring (PCS Series)This indicator displays higher timeframe (HTF) candles using a PVSRA-inspired color model that blends price and volume strength, allowing traders to visualize higher-timeframe activity directly on lower-timeframe charts without switching screens.
OVERVIEW
This script visualizes higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly on lower-timeframe charts using a custom PVSRA (Price, Volume & Support/Resistance Analysis) color model.
Unlike standard HTF indicators, it aggregates real-time OHLC and volume data bar-by-bar and dynamically draws synthetic HTF candles that update as the higher-timeframe bar evolves.
This allows traders to interpret momentum, trend continuation, and volume pressure from broader market structures without switching charts.
INTEGRATION LOGIC
This script merges higher-timeframe candle projection with PVSRA volume analysis to provide a single, multi-timeframe momentum view.
The HTF structure reveals directional context, while PVSRA coloring exposes the underlying strength of buying and selling pressure.
By combining both, traders can see when a higher-timeframe candle is building with strong or weak volume, enabling more informed intraday decisions than either tool could offer alone.
HOW IT WORKS
Aggregates price data : Groups lower-timeframe bars to calculate higher-timeframe Open, High, Low, Close, and total Volume.
Applies PVSRA logic : Compares each HTF candle’s volume to the average of the last 10 bars:
• >200% of average = strong activity
• >150% of average = moderate activity
• ≤150% = normal activity
Assigns colors :
• Green/Blue = bullish high-volume
• Red/Fuchsia = bearish high-volume
• White/Gray = neutral or low-volume moves
Draws dynamic outlines : Outlines update live while the current HTF candle is forming.
Supports symbol override : Calculations can use another instrument for correlation analysis.
This multi-timeframe aggregation avoids repainting issues in request.security() and ensures accurate real-time HTF representation.
FEATURES
Dual HTF Display : Visualize two higher timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 4H and 1D).
Dynamic PVSRA Coloring : Volume-weighted candle colors reveal bullish or bearish dominance.
Customizable Layout : Adjust candle width, spacing, offset, and color schemes.
Candle Outlines : Highlight the forming HTF candle to monitor developing structure.
Symbol Override : Display HTF candles from another instrument for cross-analysis.
SETTINGS
HTF 1 & HTF 2 : enable/disable, set timeframes, choose label colors, show/hide outlines.
Number of Candles : choose how many HTF candles to plot (1–10).
Offset Position : distance to the right of the current price where HTF candles begin.
Spacing & Width : adjust separation and scaling of candle groups.
Show Wicks/Borders : toggle wick and border visibility.
PVSRA Colors : enable or disable volume-based coloring.
Symbol Override : use a secondary ticker for HTF data if desired.
USAGE TIPS
Set the indicator’s visual order to “Bring to front.”
Always choose HTFs higher than your active chart timeframe.
Use PVSRA colors to identify strong momentum and potential reversals.
Adjust candle spacing and width for your chart layout.
Outlines are not shown on chart timeframes below 5 minutes.
TRADING STRATEGY
Strategy Overview : Combine HTF structure and PVSRA volume signals to
• Identify zones of high institutional activity and potential reversals.
• Wait for confirmation through consolidation or a pullback to key levels.
• Trade in alignment with dominant higher-timeframe structure rather than chasing volatility.
Setup :
• Chart timeframe: lower (5m, 15m, 1H)
• HTF 1: 4H or 1D
• HTF 2: 1D or 1W
• PVSRA Colors: enabled
• Outlines: enabled
Entry Concept :
High-volume candles (green or red) often indicate market-maker activity , such zones often reflect liquidity absorption by larger players and are not necessarily ideal entry points.
Wait for the next consolidation or pullback toward a support or resistance level before acting.
Bullish scenario :
• After a high-volume or rejection candle near a low, price consolidates and forms a higher low.
• Enter long only when structure confirms strength above support.
Bearish scenario :
• After a high-volume or rejection candle near a top, price consolidates and forms a lower high.
• Enter short once resistance holds and momentum weakens.
Exit Guidelines :
• Exit when next HTF candle shifts in color or momentum fades.
• Exit if price structure breaks opposite to your trade direction.
• Always use stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Additional Tips :
• Never enter directly on strong green/red high-volume candles, these are usually areas of institutional absorption.
• Wait for market structure confirmation and volume normalization.
• Combine with RSI, moving averages, or support/resistance for timing.
• Avoid trading when HTF candles are mixed or low-volume (unclear bias).
• Outlines hidden below 5m charts.
Risk Management :
• Use stop-loss and take-profit on all positions.
• Limit risk to 1–2% per trade.
• Adjust position size for volatility.
FINAL NOTES
This script helps traders synchronize lower-timeframe execution with higher-timeframe momentum and volume dynamics.
Test it on demo before live use, and adjust settings to fit your trading style.

Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout📌 Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout – Detect Breakouts Confirmed by Candles and Momentum Cycles
📖 Overview
The Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout indicator is a precision breakout detection tool that combines the power of:
• Adaptive Keltner Channels
• Dominant Cycle Period Analysis (Ehlers-inspired)
• Candlestick Pattern Recognition (Engulfing)
This multi-layered approach helps identify true breakout opportunities by filtering out noise and false signals, making it ideal for swing traders and intraday traders seeking high-probability directional moves.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Keltner Channel Envelope
A dynamic volatility channel based on the EMA and ATR defines the upper and lower bounds of price movement.
2. Engulfing Candle Detection
The script detects strong bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, which often signal trend reversals or momentum continuations.
3. Dominant Cycle Momentum (Ehlers-inspired)
Using a smoothed power oscillator derived from a detrended price series, the indicator assesses whether momentum is accelerating during the breakout — filtering out weak moves.
4. Signal Confirmation Logic
A signal is only shown when:
• An engulfing pattern is detected, and
• Price breaks out of the Keltner Channel, and
• Momentum (cycle power) is rising
5. Visual Feedback
• Breakout signals are plotted with “BUY” or “SELL” labels
• Faded green/red background highlights confirmed breakouts
• Optional display of engulfing candles with triangle markers
⸻
🛠️ Key Features
• ✅ Adaptive Keltner Channels
• ✅ Bullish/Bearish Engulfing Candle Recognition

MTF MomentumUniqueness:
MTF Momentum is designed to provide true multiple-timeframe information at once on a single screen with as little clutter as possible. What makes MTF Momentum unique is the way it condenses the perspectives of our other internal models into a single bullish or bearish slope near the current candle, then automatically draws the same bullish or bearish momentum slopes of the next higher timeframes. The structure is engineered to highlight shifts in momentum as they happen on the current candle (angled lines), marking potential reversal points as they build (red and green diamonds), and provides a numerical Q-Score that draws a horizontal marker for elevated Q-Score exhaustion. The design avoids telling you when to buy or sell. Instead, it structures the raw inputs in a way that makes interpretation easier. That makes it useful whether you’re trading actively or simply learning to recognize how momentum flows across layers.
Usefulness:
This indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes. Instead of juggling the same indicator on 3 different screens, you can see a unified picture that captures both the local momentum and higher timeframes that provide time-dimensional context. When short-term and higher-timeframe angles point in the same direction, MTF Momentum makes that visible in a straightforward way and may help highlight when momentum is consistent across multiple timeframes. When short-term layers push against a stronger higher timeframe, it signals that momentum may be shifting or exhausting. This indicator provides an efficient workflow and helps reduce clutter.
How It Works:
At its core, MTF Momentum is a blend of momentum readings from multiple sources — RSI slopes, EMA stacks, Gaussian smoothing, Fisher-style transforms, and MACD widening analysis built from the same shared core mathematical engines as our other indicators. The uniqueness of this indicator is not tied to any single formula as each component is well-known, but it is in the way they are layered, smoothed, and consolidated that entirely new readings are created.
The process begins with multiple RSI calculations, offset and averaged to reduce jitter. These are smoothed through EMA stacks of varying lengths, then run through Gaussian-style filters that emphasize directional change while filtering noise. The slope differences across these layers form the foundation of the momentum calculation. This momentum reading is then checked against MACD widening conditions. MACD gap expansion is treated as a momentum confirmation — widening gaps with price in agreement add weight, while narrowing gaps or misaligned candles reduce confidence. Additional derivative logic, including Fisher-style transforms, is applied to normalize the outputs and make them more stable across different assets.
Multi-timeframe integration comes from using request.security to pull higher timeframe versions of the same structures that are on the base chart. For example, you can see a one-minute chart overlaid with five-minute and fifteen-minute context. The blending is seamless — higher timeframe momentum is displayed alongside lower timeframe signals that help the user see where current timeframe momentum is in relation to higher timeframes.
How to Use the MTF Momentum Indicator:
Applying the MTF Momentum indicator is straightforward, but interpretation depends on your process.
To use, load the indicator on your preferred base timeframe. Use this general guideline to setup your indicators:
Base timeframe -> 1st HTF -> 2nd HTF
1min -> 5min -> 15min
5min -> 15min -> 1hr
15min -> 1hr -> 4hr
1hr -> 4hr -> 1day
4hr -> 1day -> Weekly
1day -> Weekly -> Monthly
Weekly -> Monthly -> Yearly
When used at base timeframes at 1 hour or lower, higher timeframe lines ARE drawn automatically.
When using a base timeframe above 1 hour (e.g., 4h, Daily), higher-timeframe slopes are NOT drawn automatically. To view them, switch to the higher-timeframe chart itself (for example, Daily or Weekly) and draw an arrow along the slope using TradingView’s drawing tools. Once placed, the arrow will remain visible when you return to your lower base timeframe chart, giving you the higher-timeframe context alongside your current view. This step is optional, purely for visual reference, and does not affect the indicator’s calculations.
These are your higher timeframe momentum angles that can help provide context to the automatically drawn angle on your current timeframe. You can even practice drawing these lines on the lower timeframes such as using a 5min base and 15min and 1hr HTF charts. You can compare your manually drawn angles with the automatic HTF lines by enabling them in the INPUTS tab of the MTF Momentum settings menu.
Q-SCORE:
The Q-Score label presents two values ranging from 0 to 100. These values are a numerical translation of the same momentum conditions our other indicators display visually. Higher values indicate stronger readings of exhaustion within the current trend model, while lower values indicate less. You can think of this as similar to a distribution curve, where some states occur less frequently at the extreme ends of the range and more frequently near the middle. Q-Score values are provided as contextual information only and do not predict reversals or guarantee outcomes.
Blue Dotted & Solid Horizontal line:
The aqua blue horizontal line is a visual representation of the Q-Score values. When one or both numerical values is below 85 the line stays dotted -- it is only when both numerical values exceed 85 that the line changes from dotted to solid.
Green & Red Diamonds:
Diamonds mark areas where the underlying model detects counter-trend behavior. They may flicker on the current candle during intrabar calculations but are locked in at candle close and never get altered or repainted.
Red diamonds highlight points where the model detects counter-trend pressure during a bullish phase. Green diamonds highlight counter-trend pressure during a bearish phase. These markers reflect where momentum conditions have shifted relative to the prevailing trend. They appear where short-term dynamics differ from the broader trend. Traders can interpret these areas in their own context; the diamonds themselves do not predict reversals or guarantee outcomes.
Example ways to use the MTF Momentum indicator:
Look for agreement -- when both your base timeframe and higher timeframe momentums are pointing in the same direction, it reflects stronger alignment. This may help identify areas of trend continuation.
Watch for divergence -- if your short-term momentum pushes opposite to the higher timeframe, it flags a potential transition.

🎢 Squeeze Momentum — How the Logic Works 🎢
The Squeeze Momentum model is built on the principle of volatility compression and expansion. In markets, periods of low volatility are often followed by explosive moves, while high volatility eventually contracts. The “squeeze” seeks to identify these compression phases and prepare traders for the likely expansion that follows.
This indicator achieves that by comparing Bollinger Bands (BB) to Keltner Channels (KC).
Bands: Bollinger vs. Keltner
Bollinger Bands (BB): Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of price and standard deviations (σ) of the closing price. The bands expand and contract depending on volatility.
Keltner Channels (KC): Built from an SMA plus/minus multiples of the Average True Range (ATR). Unlike some simplified squeeze indicators that approximate ATR, this implementation uses a true ATR-based KC, ensuring accuracy across different assets and timeframes.
By comparing whether the Bollinger Bands are inside or outside the Keltner Channels, the indicator identifies different squeeze regimes, each representing a distinct volatility environment.
📦 Regime Colors
The squeeze states are color-coded for quick interpretation:
🔹Wide Squeeze (⚫): BB inside KC with a high ATR multiplier. Extremely low volatility, often before major expansion.
🔹Normal Squeeze (🔴): BB inside KC with a moderate ATR multiplier (about 25% more sensitive than Wide). Typical compression setting.
🔹Narrow Squeeze (🟡): BB inside KC with a lower ATR multiplier (about 50% more sensitive than Wide). Signals tighter compression.
🔹Very Narrow Squeeze (🟣): BB inside KC with the lowest ATR multiplier (100% more sensitive than Wide). Indicates extreme coiling.
🔹Fired Squeeze (🟢): BB break outside KC. Marks the release of volatility and potential trend acceleration.
This multi-layered system improves upon classical SQZPRO by using precisely calculated Keltner Channels and multiple sensitivity levels, giving traders more granular information about volatility states.
🔒 Multi-Timeframe Support
The indicator automatically adjusts squeeze thresholds for different timeframes — hourly, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly charts. Each regime has been manually tuned for its timeframe, allowing traders to use the same tool whether scalping, swing trading, or holding longer-term positions.
🎯 Momentum Core
Detecting a squeeze is only half the equation — the indicator also includes a momentum engine to determine direction and strength.
Price momentum is measured as the distance of Close from its Highest High and Lowest Low range, smoothed with a Simple Moving Average, and refined with Linear Regression.
This value is then divided by ATR, normalizing momentum relative to volatility.
Optionally, CVD Mode (Cumulative Volume Delta ÷ Volume) can replace price momentum for assets where order-flow and volume dynamics dominate (e.g., crypto).
🦆 Signal Line
Momentum is paired with a Simple Moving Average signal line:
🔹Bullish: Momentum > Signal.
🔹Bearish: Momentum < Signal.
This crossover logic provides directional bias and filters for false squeezes.
🚀 When to Use Price vs. CVD
CVD Mode (Crypto, FX with tick volume): Best for assets with strong volume/order-flow signals.
Price Mode (Equities, Commodities, Higher TFs): Best for assets with irregular or thin volume data.
🛢️ATR Zones (context filter) 🛢️
Its design is straightforward yet effective: it measures the difference between the current price from its highest highs, lowest lows, and a moving average over a chosen period, then expresses that difference in terms of the Average True Range (ATR) over the same period. By normalizing price deviations against volatility, ATR provides a clear sense of how far and how fast price is moving relative to its “normal” range.
Interpreting the Zone
Positive Values: When it is above zero, price is trading above its HH, LL, and moving average, suggesting bullish momentum. The higher the value, the stronger the momentum relative to volatility.
Negative Values: When the Momentum is below zero, price is trading below its HH, LL, and moving average, signaling bearish momentum. The deeper the reading, the stronger the downside pressure.
Magnitude Matters: Because the Momentum is expressed in ATR units, traders can immediately gauge whether the move is small (less than 1 ATR), moderate (1–2 ATRs), or extreme (3+ ATRs). This makes it especially useful for assessing overbought or oversold conditions in a normalized way.
Strengths:
🔹Volatility-Normalized: Unlike simple squeeze momentum oscillators that have different OB/OS levels, this Momentum adjusts for volatility. This makes signals more consistent across assets with different volatility profiles.
🔹Simplicity:
±1 ATR: trending zone (bulls above +1, bears below −1)
±2 ATR: expansion (keep, add, or trail). Stretch/risk of mean reversion.
±3 ATR: potential exhaustion/mean-revert zone.
🔹Momentum Clarity: By framing momentum in ATR terms, it is easier to distinguish between a small deviation from trend and a genuinely significant move. Sometimes it is a good sign that it trend to ±3/2 ATR, looks for similar directional moves.
Color: The script shades +2/+3 (OB) and −2/−3 (OS) areas and provides swing alerts at ±1 ATR.
💚 What Are Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL)? 💚
In technical analysis, one of the most common tools for smoothing out noisy data is the signal line. This concept appears in many indicators, such as the MACD or stochastic oscillator, where the raw value of an indicator is compared to a smoothed version of itself. The signal line acts as a lagging filter, making it easier to identify shifts in momentum, crossovers, and directional changes.
While useful, the classic signal line approach has limitations. By design, a single smoothed line introduces lag, which means traders may receive signals later than ideal. Additionally, a one-size-fits-all smoothing process often struggles to adapt to different levels of volatility or rapidly changing market conditions.
This is where Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL) come in. DSL is an advanced extension of the traditional signal line concept. Instead of relying on just one smoothed comparison, DSL employs multiple adaptive lines that adjust dynamically to the current state of the indicator. These adaptive lines effectively “discontinue” the dependence on a single, fixed smoothing method, producing a more flexible and nuanced representation of market conditions.
How DSL Works?
Traditional Signal Line: Compares an the Momentum against its own moving average. Provides crossover signals when the raw indicator value moves above or below the smoothed line.
Strength: reduces noise. Weakness: delayed signals and limited adaptability.
DSL Extension: Uses multiple adaptive lines that respond differently to the indicator’s current behavior. Instead of one static moving average, the DSL approach creates faster and slower “reaction lines.” These lines adapt dynamically, capturing acceleration or deceleration in the indicator’s state.
Result: Traders see how momentum is evolving across multiple adaptive thresholds. This reduces false signals and improves responsiveness in volatile conditions.
Benefits of Discontinued Signal Lines
🔹Nuanced Trend Detection
DSL doesn’t just flag when momentum changes direction—it shows the quality of that shift, highlighting whether it is gaining strength, losing steam, or consolidating.
🔹Adaptability Across Markets
Because DSL adjusts to the Momentum’s own dynamics, it works well across different asset classes and timeframes, from equities and futures to forex and crypto.
🔹Earlier Signal Recognition
Multiple adaptive lines allow traders to spot developing trends earlier than with a single smoothed signal line, without being overwhelmed by raw indicator noise.
🔹Better Confirmation
DSL is particularly useful for confirmation. If both adaptive lines agree then a fill is applied in the direction, confidence in the trend is higher as the color turns bull/bear.
🔹Practical Uses
Momentum Trading: Spot acceleration or deceleration in trend strength.
Trend Confirmation: Verify whether a breakout has momentum behind it.
Noise Filtering: Smooth out erratic moves while retaining adaptability.
⚖️ Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) ⚖️
The Directional Movement Index (DMI), created by J. Welles Wilder, is one of the most respected trend-following indicators in technical analysis. It is actually a family of three separate indicators combined into one: the +DI (Positive Directional Indicator), the –DI (Negative Directional Indicator), and the ADX (Average Directional Index). Together, they measure not only whether the market is trending but also the strength of that trend. Traders have used the DMI for decades to identify trend direction, gauge momentum, and filter out periods of market noise.
However, despite its reliability, the traditional DMI can be challenging to interpret. Reading three separate lines at once and extracting meaningful signals requires both experience and careful observation. This complexity often discourages newer traders from fully utilizing its power.
The Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) is a modern reinterpretation of Wilder’s classic tool. It condenses the same information into a single visual line while using color, shape, and density to communicate what’s happening beneath the surface. The goal is simple: make the DMI’s insights faster to read, easier to act upon, and more intuitive to integrate into trading decisions.
Key Features of CDMI
🔹Color Scale for Trend Strength
The main triangle changes its base color depending on the strength of the DI reading. Dark Red or Green, colors correspond to stronger trends, while faded Gray or lighter yellow tones signal weaker or fading trends. This makes it visually clear when the market is consolidating versus trending strongly.
🔹Color Density for Momentum
Beyond strength, the CDMI uses color density to represent momentum in the trend’s strength. If the ADX is rising (trend gaining momentum), the triangles grows more darker. If the ADX is falling (trend losing momentum), the triangle becomes paler. This provides an instant sense of whether a trend is accelerating or decelerating.
🔹Directional Triangles for Trend Direction
To replace the separate +DI and –DI lines, the CDMI plots small triangle shapes along the bottom axis. An upward-facing triangle indicates that +DI is dominant, confirming bullish direction. A downward-facing triangle signals –DI dominance, confirming bearish direction. This way, both strength and direction are shown without the clutter of multiple overlapping lines.
🔹Label Display for Detailed Values
For traders who want precise data alongside the visuals, CDMI includes a label that shows:
Current trend strength (ADX value).
Current +DI and –DI values.
Momentum status of the ADX (rising or falling).
Historical values of DMI readings, so traders can track how the indicator has evolved over time.
Tooltips are also available to explain “How to read the colored DMI line”, making this version more beginner-friendly.
Why CDMI Matters
The CDMI retains the proven reliability of Wilder’s DMI while solving its biggest drawback—interpretation difficulty. Instead of juggling three separate plots, traders get a single, information-rich line supplemented with intuitive shapes and labels. This streamlined format makes trend verification, momentum analysis, and signal confirmation much faster.
For trading applications, the CDMI can help:
Confirm Entries by showing whether the market is trending strongly enough to justify a position.
Avoid False Signals by filtering out periods of low ADX (weak trend).
Enhance Timing by tracking momentum shifts in trend strength.
By simplifying the complexity of the original DMI into an elegant, color-coded tool, the CDMI makes one of technical analysis’ most advanced indicators practical for everyday use.
😅 The VIX, the Williams Vix Fix, and Market Bottoms 😎
The VIX, formally known as the CBOE Volatility Index, has long been considered one of the most reliable indicators for spotting major market bottoms. Often referred to as the “fear gauge,” it measures the market’s expectation of volatility in the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. When fear grips investors and volatility spikes, the VIX rises sharply. Historically, these moments of extreme fear often coincide with powerful buying opportunities, as markets have a tendency to rebound once panic selling exhausts itself.
Larry Williams, a well-known trader and author, developed the Williams Vix Fix as a way to replicate the insights of the VIX across any tradable asset. While the VIX itself is tied specifically to S&P 500 options, Williams wanted a tool that could capture similar panic-driven dynamics in stocks, futures, forex, and other markets where the VIX is not directly applicable. His “fix” uses price action and volatility formulas to approximate the same emotional extremes reflected in the official VIX, creating almost identical results in practice. This makes the Williams Vix Fix a powerful addition to the trader’s toolbox, allowing the same principle that works on U.S. equities to be applied universally.
One of the most important characteristics of both the VIX and the Williams Vix Fix is that they are far more reliable at signaling market bottoms than market tops. The reason is psychological as much as it is mathematical. At market bottoms, fear and panic are widespread. Retail investors often capitulate, selling in a frenzy as prices drop. This panic drives volatility higher, producing the spikes we see in the VIX. At the same time, professional traders and institutions—those with larger capital and more disciplined strategies—tend to step in when volatility is stretched. They buy when others are fearful, using the panic of retail investors as an opportunity to acquire assets at discounted prices. This confluence of retail panic and institutional buying power is what makes the VIX such a strong bottom-finding tool.
In contrast, at market tops, the dynamic is very different. Tops tend not to be marked by panic or fear. Instead, they form quietly as enthusiasm fades, liquidity dries up, and buying interest wanes. Investors are often complacent, assuming prices will continue to rise, while professional money begins distributing their positions. Because there is no surge in fear, volatility remains muted, and the VIX does not offer a clear warning. This is why traders who rely on the VIX or the Williams Vix Fix must understand its limitations: it is exceptional for detecting bottoms but less useful for anticipating tops.
For traders, the lesson is straightforward. When you see the VIX or Williams Vix Fix spiking to extreme levels, it often indicates a high-probability environment for a rebound. These tools should not be used in isolation, but when combined with support levels, sentiment indicators, and market breadth, they can provide some of the most reliable bottom-fishing signals available. While no indicator is perfect, few have stood the test of time as consistently as the VIX—and thanks to Williams’ adaptation, its power can now be applied to nearly every market.
Indicator Signals (Great in risk-off charts):
🔹Flags spike events (tops/bottoms) with both original and filtered (AE/FE) criteria.
🔹Great as a risk overlay: tighten stops into AE/FE, or require “no spike” to enter.
🤯 Volume Comfirmation: VTTI & VPCI (Buff Dormeier) 🤯
Volume Trend Technical Indicator (VTTI)
The Volume Trend Technical Indicator (VTTI) is a momentum-style tool that analyzes how volume trends interact with price movement. Unlike basic volume measures that simply report how many shares or contracts were traded, the VTTI evaluates whether volume is expanding or contracting in the same direction as the prevailing price trend. The underlying logic is that healthy trends are supported by rising volume, while weakening trends often occur on shrinking volume.
At its core, VTTI looks at the rate of change in volume compared to price movements. By smoothing and normalizing these relationships, the indicator helps traders determine whether momentum is accelerating, decelerating, or diverging.
Rising VTTI: Suggests that volume is confirming the current price trend, strengthening the case for continuation. Flips BG Green after crossing it's signal.
Falling VTTI: Indicates that the trend may be losing participation, often a sign of possible consolidation or reversal. Flips BG Red after crossing it's signal.
Traders often use VTTI to filter entries and exits. For example, if price breaks out but VTTI does not rise above zero, the breakout may lack conviction. On the other hand, when both price and VTTI are aligned, probability of continuation improves.
Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI)
The Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), developed by Buff Dormeier, takes the relationship between price and volume a step further. While traditional indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV) or Chaikin Money Flow look at cumulative patterns, VPCI breaks price and volume into trend and volatility components and then recombines them to measure how well they confirm each other.
In essence, VPCI asks: “Does volume confirm what price is signaling?”
The formula integrates:
Price Trend Component – whether the market is trending upward or downward.
Volume Trend Component – whether trading activity supports that price trend.
Volatility Adjustments – to account for irregular swings.
The resulting oscillator fluctuates around a zero line:
Positive VPCI: Indicates that price and volume trends are in agreement (bullish confirmation).
Negative VPCI: Suggests that price and volume are diverging (bearish warning or false move).
Crossovers of Zero: Can serve as potential buy or sell signals, depending on context.
A key strength of VPCI is its sensitivity to divergence. When prices continue rising but VPCI begins falling, it often foreshadows a weakening rally. Conversely, a rising VPCI during a flat or down market can highlight early accumulation.
VTTI (Entry Signal) vs. VPCI (Exit Signal)
While both indicators study price-volume dynamics, their focus differs:
VTTI is simpler, emphasizing the trend of volume relative to price for momentum confirmation.
VPCI is more advanced, decomposing both price and volume into multiple components to produce a nuanced oscillator.
Used together, they provide complementary insights. VTTI helps quickly spot whether volume is supporting a move, while VPCI offers deeper confirmation and highlights subtle divergences.
Note: The Up/Down Volume Alert works better on the 4 HR, for Daily scalps or 30 minute for HR scalps. Intraday it's 2/10 minute.
🦅 Divergence toolkit 🦅
Divergences in Technical Analysis
Divergence occurs when the price action of an asset moves in one direction while a technical indicator, such as RSI, MACD, or Momentum, moves in the opposite direction. This disagreement between price and indicator often signals a shift in underlying market dynamics. Traders use divergences to anticipate either potential reversals or continuations in trends.
There are two main types of divergences: regular divergences, which typically precede reversals, and hidden divergences, which suggest continuation of the current trend.
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signals)
A regular divergence occurs when price and indicator disagree during a trend extension. These divergences signal that momentum is no longer fully supporting the current trend and that a reversal may be imminent.
🔹Regular Bullish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a lower low.
Indicator: Forms a higher low.
Interpretation: Price is making new lows, but the indicator is gaining strength. This suggests that selling pressure is weakening, and a reversal to the upside may occur.
Example: RSI rising while price dips to fresh lows.
🔹Regular Bearish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a higher high.
Indicator: Forms a lower high.
Interpretation: Price is reaching new highs, but the indicator shows weakening momentum. This implies that buying pressure is fading, warning of a potential downside reversal.
Example: MACD histogram falling while price makes higher highs.
Regular divergences are often spotted near the end of trends and are most powerful when aligned with key support/resistance levels or overbought/oversold conditions.
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signals)
A hidden divergence occurs during retracements within a trend. Unlike regular divergences, hidden divergences suggest that the prevailing trend still has strength and is likely to continue.
🔹Hidden Bullish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a higher low.
Indicator: Forms a lower low.
Interpretation: Price is retracing within an uptrend, but the indicator is overshooting downward. This shows that momentum remains intact, supporting continuation upward.
🔹Hidden Bearish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a lower high.
Indicator: Forms a higher high.
Interpretation: Price is retracing within a downtrend, while the indicator overshoots upward. This indicates that bearish momentum remains strong, supporting continuation downward.
Hidden divergences often appear during pullbacks, helping traders time entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Practical Use of Divergences
🔹Trend Reversal Alerts – Regular divergences are early warnings that a trend may be ending.
🔹Trend Continuation Signals – Hidden divergences help confirm that retracements are simply pauses, not full reversals.
🔹Confluence with Other Tools – Divergences are more reliable when combined with support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or volume analysis.
🔹Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Spotting divergences on higher timeframes often produces stronger signals.

Tight/Very tight squeezes are great for scalps but choppy; combine with DMI rising + VPCI>0.
±3 ATR is exhaustion context, not an auto-fade—look for WVF/Div/DSL confirmation.
For alerts, pair “Fired Squeeze + Bullish Swing” (or bearish) to avoid false starts.
🎯 How to Trade Entry ~ Recap:
Tight/very tight squeeze → fires → momentum crosses up (or DSL bull).
Exit/Flip: Momentum crosses down into/after expansion or hits +2/+3 ATR with fade signs. Filter: Avoid fresh longs at +3 ATR; avoid fresh shorts at −3 ATR unless fading with confirmation.
📐 Options Integrations
✅ Risk Reversal/Modified Risk Reversal (Bullish: Short Put + Long Call)
Use when: Squeeze fires up from 🟡/🟣 and momentum crosses above signal (or zero/DSL).
Playbook Entry: On or just after the bullish fire and momentum upcross. DMI or Volume supports trend as well.
Structure: Sell a put at/just below the −2 ATR reference (or recent swing support). Buy a call at/above the breakout zone (prior high/mid-range +1 to +2 ATR).
A classic risk reversal is a long call plus a short put. That’s a very bullish structure—you gain if the price rallies (via the call), and you collect a premium by selling a put. But it has a naked downside risk. The modified risk reversal fixes that by adding a long lower put (making the short put into a defined put credit spread).
Management: If momentum stays above signal, ride toward +2 → +3 ATR. Sell the put near the current price → receive big premium. Buy the lower put → spend part of that premium (risk cap). Buy the call above the current price → spend more, but the short put premium mostly pays for it.
Exits/Adjust: Momentum downcross or squeeze flips back on (new compression) → reduce. If price retests −1/−2 ATR and holds, you can roll the short put down/out.
Breakout = Big Success; No Breakout = you keep the initial credit. Reversal = Max loss is capped by the long lower put.
✅ Iron Condor (Neutral: Short OTM Put Spread + Short OTM Call Spread)
Use when: Squeeze is active (🟡/🟣), momentum is flat near zero, and there is no directional edge. 🟢 lasts for around 5~8 bars typically. I measure the historical duration of it, and wait for a range period to occur.
Playbook Entry: During compression, set wings outside ±2 ATR (or recent range extremes). I prefer identifying boxes where the rectangle pattern occurs on the chart.
Management: Time decay works while price remains trapped in the coil. High-winrate ~80%, but 1 loser can wipe most of the gains.
Exits/Adjust: If a squeeze fires and momentum breaks hard one way, close the losing side, consider converting to a vertical or rotating to a directional spread aligned with momentum.
4HR-Bullish, closing one wing:
Tip: Align daily/weekly context with your intraday entries. 9 > 50 on Weekly, similar on Daily. Sell premium into compression; switch to directional spreads on expansion and momentum confirmation.
✅ Naked Call/Puts (Directional: 10~30 Delta Calls)
Stick to naked calls and puts when the squeezes are fired from either 🔴 or ⚫.
Look for Strikes slightly out of the money with an OI and Volume spread less than <10%.
If Strike Date is >45, manage 21 Days before expiration. Scalp: Expiration Strikes of 1/4 of the Squeeze period. Leap: Expiration Strikes of 1.75x of the Squeeze period.
📐 Futures Integrations
Playbook Entry:
Verify if the squeeze on the hourly is red or green, and enter on the 2- or 5-minute during a similar squeeze state.
Trend-Following: Traditional 2 Renko Block above 21 SMA and Momentum is bullish, or vice versa. (2~ES, 5~NQ)
Structure: Go long at/just below the ATR reference (or recent swing support). Exit below the breakout zone (prior high/mid-range +1 to +2 ATR).
Management: If momentum stays above +1 ATR ride toward +2 → +3 ATR, etc. House-money, should be kept.
Exits/Adjust: Momentum downcross or squeeze flips back on (new compression) → exit. On Renko Charts, lower the sensitivity to 0.7~1. If price retests 0/−1/−2 ATR and holds, you can enter when the 9 SMA flips. The 50 SMA is better for Daily and up; I wouldn't trade against it then.

This is similar to LazyBear's WaveTrend oscillator but handles momentum calculation differently and has some extra components for trade analysis.
The oscillator calculates an adaptive mean, then measures how far price deviates from that mean. Instead of just looking at raw deviation, it normalizes this by dividing by smoothed absolute deviation values.
The key difference is how it separates momentum - it splits the deviation into positive (up) and negative (down) components, then applies directional strength smoothing to each separately before combining them:
100 * (up_strength - down_strength) / (up_strength + down_strength)
This directional strength calculation gives more weight to sustained moves in either direction rather than just price volatility. The result is the main Momentum Wave oscillating between -100 and +100. The Signal Wave is just a smoothed version of this. The Momentum Gap shows the difference between them.
You'll see the Momentum Wave as a colored area/line with four color states, the Signal Wave as a white area, the Momentum Gap as a yellow line, the Drip Rate as cyan/purple area, and Velocity as a colored line at the bottom. The overbought/oversold zones are shaded, volatility bands adapt to current conditions, and major/minor signals show up as circles when the waves cross.
For trading, the Drip Rate is your long-term signal for bigger shifts. When it makes lower lows into resistance, look for reversals. Works great across multiple timeframes. Volatility squeezes signal big moves coming - use these with support/resistance and divergences. Top/bottom signals show momentum shifts and usually lead to pumps or drops.
Velocity shows breakout speed or rejections. Higher readings mean faster moves, regardless of direction. Wave colors reveal continuation patterns - green to purple to green means strong continuation up, red to cyan to red means continuation down.
The Momentum Gap can signal divergence on its own. The angle it crosses zero often hints at how fast the next move will be. When momentum goes outside the volatility bands, watch the next wave for divergence or confirmation.
Works best when you combine the Drip Rate across timeframes with squeeze setups and color changes for high-probability entries.
Works well with Heikin Ashi candles, or use the smoothed candle mode in the settings to mimic them. You can set the candle colors to the momentum wave colors as well, it can be helpful.
Here is a trade setup and how you can use it to take trades.

RAMS TrapMaster ConfluenceOverview:
The TrapMaster Confluence indicator is a tactical multi-factor confirmation system designed to identify high-probability intraday and swing trade setups. It aligns multiple technical signals—momentum, trend, volume, and price action—to generate a clear bias score. By requiring confluence across several dimensions, it filters out weak or noisy signals and highlights trades with broader technical agreement. This tool is tailored for semi-advanced retail traders across equities, futures, and crypto who seek objective, structured confirmations before entering a position.
Confluence Components:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Evaluates momentum strength and trend bias. The script dynamically checks for crossovers at the 50 midline and extreme overbought/oversold zones to determine directional pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Detects momentum shifts using signal line crossovers and MACD histogram polarity. The script uses MACD direction and histogram flips to contribute to bullish or bearish pressure.
SMA 5 vs. SMA 20:
Captures short-term trend shifts via fast–slow moving average crossovers. A rising 5-SMA over a falling 20-SMA supports a bullish thesis and vice versa.
SMA 50 vs. SMA 200:
Used to confirm longer-term trend bias (e.g. golden cross or death cross) and add weight to the broader market structure.
SMA 5 Trend Direction:
Assesses immediate trend slope. An upward or downward slope of the 5-SMA confirms recent price acceleration or deceleration.
Volume Spike:
Flags high-volume price moves, helping validate whether momentum is supported by institutional participation or liquidity interest.
Rising Volume Bars:
Confirms directional strength through consistent increases in volume during trends. Sustained rising volume suggests growing conviction.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price):
Anchors price to institutional average cost per session. Price above VWAP typically indicates bullish sentiment; below signals bearish sentiment.
Candlestick Confirmation:
Confirms signals using recent price action (e.g. engulfing candles, breakouts with volume). Adds an extra layer of price behavior validation.
Contrarian Mode (Optional):
This feature flips the typical logic to catch high-probability reversal zones. When many signals align in one direction, contrarian mode allows the user to search for exhaustion points in sentiment or momentum, potentially capturing mean reversions.
Each confluence factor contributes a vote to a composite bias count. Users define a threshold (e.g., 4 out of 6 conditions) to trigger a signal. The indicator does not rely on any one signal, but instead rewards alignment across multiple technical aspects.
Signal Generation & Alerts:
When the defined confluence threshold is met, a signal label appears on the chart with directional context (long or short). Alerts can be tied to these signals, allowing the user to be notified in real time when actionable setups occur. The system supports “next candle confirmation,” which delays signal printing until the bar closes, minimizing premature alerts. All labels are limited to the most recent few to reduce chart clutter.
Dashboard Overview:
The optional real-time dashboard shows which confluence components are active on the current candle. This visual panel is customizable, updating dynamically and remaining hidden when no conditions are met. It includes:
Each factor with active/inactive status
Current bullish and bearish score counts
Real-time snapshot of bias development
Customization & Controls:
All components can be toggled on or off. Traders can choose to require stricter or looser confirmation thresholds. Label visibility, signal timing, and dashboard position/size are fully adjustable. This allows the indicator to adapt across timeframes and trading styles — whether scalping or swing trading.
Suggested Use with Trendlines and support and resistance:
TrapMaster becomes significantly more powerful when used alongside manual or automated support/resistance and trendline analysis. Confluence signals occurring near:
major support zones,
resistance levels,
trendline retests.
Fibonacci retracements,
help validate the price’s reaction to those areas. Traders can pre-mark key price zones, then use TrapMaster to confirm entries as momentum builds at those levels. This strengthens conviction and supports timing decisions when structure and indicators align.
Why It’s Different:
Most scripts offer a single signal or simplistic crossover logic. TrapMaster offers multi-dimensional logic that evaluates a comprehensive set of confluence factors—each customizable—with real-time logic that updates on every bar. The built-in dashboard provides a highly readable tactical summary. Its optional contrarian bias engine, dashboard visuals, factor-level customization, and risk-filtering logic (e.g. delayed confirmation and volume context) make it a flexible and advanced system not commonly found in traditional retail indicators.
Disclaimers:
This tool is for educational and analytical use only. It is not intended as trading or financial advice. All trading carries risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management and conduct your own independent analysis before making trading decisions.

Triple Momentum Core v1🧠 Technical Structure:
Triple Momentum Core analyzes the underlying wave of price movement through a three-stage system:
1. 🔵 Follow Line – The First Spark of Momentum:
Constructed using Bollinger Bands and ATR, this line detects the very first signs of directional price expansion. It gently whispers when the market begins stretching with force in one direction.
2. 🟢 SuperTrend – Confirmation and Directional Validation:
After the initial move, SuperTrend acts as the second checkpoint — validating whether the price action is evolving into a genuine trend or fading out. It confirms whether the impulse has the strength to sustain.
3. 🔴 PMax – Core Trend & Structural Anchor:
Based on Moving Average and ATR logic, PMax tracks the heartbeat of the trend. It serves as a dynamic structural boundary — critical for identifying trend continuation and managing risk.
4. 🟡 PMax MA Line – Smooth Trend Pulse & Adaptive Guide:
This yellow moving average line within the PMax system softly follows the overall trend flow, without reacting to sharp price noise. It acts as a balanced, stable guide to gauge the solidity of the trend’s body structure.
(If you prefer a cleaner view without any moving average lines, you can disable it from the settings.)

💡 Why “Triple Momentum Core”?
Because this indicator doesn’t just detect movement — it breaks it down into its essential phases:
Ignition, validation, and confirmation.
Each layer captures a unique and essential part of price behavior:
The first reaction (Follow Line) ignites the initial spark.
The second reaction (SuperTrend) confirms whether that spark will become a real trend.
The third and final layer (PMax) structurally anchors and follows that trend.
That’s why we call it Triple Momentum Core:
A synchronized 3-engine momentum system working in harmony to capture the lifecycle of a trend — from spark to structure.
The Great Anchors: Dual AVWAP Powered by RSI
The Great Anchors
*Dual Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price Powered by RSI*
---
📌 Overview
The Great Anchors is a dual AVWAP-based indicator that resets dynamically using RSI extremes — either from the current asset or a master symbol (e.g., BTCUSDT). It identifies meaningful shifts in price structure and momentum using these "anchored" levels.
It’s designed to help traders spot trend continuations, momentum inflection points, and entry signals aligned with overbought/oversold conditions — but only when the market confirms through volume-weighted price direction.
---
🛠 Core Logic
• AVWAP 1 (favwap): Anchored when RSI reaches overbought levels (top anchor)
• AVWAP 2 (savwap): Anchored when RSI reaches oversold levels (bottom anchor)
• AVWAPs are recalculated each time a new OB/OS condition is triggered — acting like "fresh anchors" at key market turning points.
---
⚙️ Key Features
🔁 Auto or Manual RSI Thresholds
→ Automatically determines dynamic RSI OB/OS levels based on past peaks and troughs, or lets you set fixed levels.
🧠 Master Symbol Control
→ Use the RSI of a separate asset (like BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, BNBUSDT, SUPRAUSDT) or indices (like TOTAL, TOTAL2, BFR) to control resets — ideal for tracking how BTC/major coins impacts altcoins/others.
🔍 Trend-Filtering Signal Logic
→ Signals are filtered for less noise and are triggered when:
- Both AVWAPs are rising (bullish) or falling (bearish)
- Price action confirms the structure
🎯 Visual Markers & Alerts
→ "💥" for bullish signals and "🔥" for bearish ones. Alerts included for automation or push notifications.
---
🎯 How to Use It
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Choose whether to use RSI from the current symbol or a master symbol (e.g., BTC).
3. Select auto-adjusted or manual OB/OS levels.
4. Watch for:
- AVWAP(s) making a significant change (at this point it's one of the AVWAPs resetting)
- Check if price flip it upwards or downwards
- If price goes above both AVWAPs thats a likely bullish trend
- If price can't go above both AVWAPs up and fall bellow both that's a likely bearish trend
- Price retesting upper AVWAP and bounce
- likely bullish continuation
- Price retesting lower AVWAP and dip
- likely bearish continuation
- Signal icons on chart ("💥 - Bullish" or "🔥- Bearish")
Best suited for:
• Swing traders
• Momentum traders
• Traders timing altcoin entries using BTC/Major asset's RSI
---
🔔 Signal Explanation
💥 Bullish Signal =
• Both AVWAPs rising
• Higher lows in price structure
• Bullish candle close
• Triggered from overbought RSI reset
🔥 Bearish Signal =
• Both AVWAPs falling
• Lower highs in price structure
• Bearish candle close
• Triggered from oversold RSI reset
Signals reset by opposite signals to prevent noise or overfitting.
---
⚠️ Tips & Notes
• Use AVWAPs as dynamic support/resistance, even without signal triggers
• Pair with volume or divergence tools for stronger confirmation
---
🧩 Credits & Philosophy
This tool is built with a simple philosophy:
"Anchor your trades to meaningful moments in price — not arbitrary time."
The dual AVWAP concept helps you see how price reacts after momentum peaks, giving you a cleaner bias and more precise trade setups.

TradersAID - Adaptive Smoothing Velocity ColoringTradersAID – Adaptive Smoothing Velocity Coloring
1. Overview
TradersAID – Adaptive Smoothing Velocity Coloring is a momentum visualization tool designed to highlight bullish or bearish pressure directly on price bars — helping you intuitively read directional strength and velocity shifts in any market or timeframe.
Using a Kalman-inspired estimation framework originally developed for aerospace and autonomous navigation, this tool analyzes the velocity of price movement and assigns a contextual candle color — offering a clean and readable way to interpret short-term flow.
Whether you’re navigating ranges or watching for trend continuation, this visualization simplifies complex data into actionable visual rhythm.
2. What It Does
Instead of measuring only price, the script focuses on price velocity — the rate of change over time. It computes this through a proprietary estimator that continuously adapts to volatility and momentum shifts.
The output is color-coded candles that reflect velocity dynamics:
• Green shades represent bullish acceleration
• Red shades reflect bearish velocity
• Neutral tones indicate fading momentum or transition phases
This allows you to quickly assess market tone:
• In strong trends: Watch for fading momentum (weaker colors)
• In ranges: Spot subtle shifts that hint at upcoming breakout direction
• Near potential reversals: Diverging velocity and price can stand out at a glance
3. How to Use It
• Momentum Insight:
Use color intensity to judge whether the current move is gaining or losing strength.
• Breakout Anticipation:
In sideways markets, shifting colors within the range can help anticipate which side may take control next.
• Divergence Reading:
Look for double tops or bottoms where price holds but velocity changes — often a hint that the move is maturing.
• Visual Confirmation Layer:
Combine with structural tools (like TradersAID Warning Dots or Trend Bands) to add a layer of momentum awareness.
4. Key Features
• Adaptive Velocity Model: Kalman-filter-like algorithm continuously tracks price velocity
• Gradient Candle Coloring: Smooth scale from deep red (strong bearish) to deep green (strong bullish)
• Flexible Sensitivity Modes:
o Slow – smoothest interpretation
o Regular – balanced tone
o Fast – more responsive
• RSI Normalization: Translates raw velocity into a familiar oscillator scale
• Full Overlay Integration: Candle coloring works seamlessly with other studies on the same chart
5. Technical Basis (Why It’s Closed Source)
The tool is built on a proprietary Unscented Kalman Filter implementation that estimates both price and its velocity simultaneously.
This advanced approach is rare in retail tools, drawing from real-time estimation techniques used in robotics and aerospace applications.
While the source remains closed to protect the performance logic and smoothing implementation, the core concepts — adaptive filtering, velocity-based analysis, and visual gradient output — are fully explained here for transparency and compliant understanding.
6. Settings
• Sensitivity Modes: Fast / Regular / Slow
• RSI Length: Adjustable to control the smoothness of velocity normalization
• Color Theme: Intuitive gradient from red (bearish) to green (bullish)
• Compatible Timeframes: Designed to work across all timeframes — no restriction
7. Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not offer financial advice, predict outcomes, or generate trading signals. Always use in conjunction with your own analysis and supporting systems.
Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator [Alpha Extract]The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator combines the smoothing characteristics of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks with mean reversion analysis to create a powerful momentum oscillator. This indicator applies Heikin-Ashi transformation twice - first to price data and then to the oscillator itself - resulting in smoother signals while maintaining sensitivity to trend changes and potential reversal points.
🔶 CALCULATION
Heikin-Ashi Transformation: Converts regular OHLC data to smoothed Heikin-Ashi values
Component Analysis: Calculates trend strength, body deviation, and price deviation from mean
Oscillator Construction: Combines components with weighted formula (40% trend strength, 30% body deviation, 30% price deviation)
Double Smoothing: Applies EMA smoothing and second Heikin-Ashi transformation to oscillator values
Signal Generation: Identifies trend changes and crossover points with overbought/oversold levels
Formula:
HA Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
HA Open = (Previous HA Open + Previous HA Close) / 2
Trend Strength = Normalized consecutive HA candle direction
Body Deviation = (HA Body - Mean Body) / Mean Body * 100
Price Deviation = ((HA Close - Price Mean) / Price Mean * 100) / Standard Deviation * 25
Raw Oscillator = (Trend Strength * 0.4) + (Body Deviation * 0.3) + (Price Deviation * 0.3)
Final Oscillator = 50 + (EMA(Raw Oscillator) / 2)
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
Heikin-Ashi Candlesticks: Smoothed oscillator representation using HA transformation with vibrant teal/red coloring
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Horizontal lines at customizable levels (default 70/30) with background highlighting in extreme zones
Moving Averages: Optional fast and slow EMA overlays for additional trend confirmation
Signal Dashboard: Real-time table showing current oscillator status (Overbought/Oversold/Bullish/Bearish) and buy/sell signals
Reference Lines: Middle line at 50 (neutral), with 0 and 100 boundaries for range visualization
Interpretation:
Above 70: Overbought conditions, potential selling opportunity
Below 30: Oversold conditions, potential buying opportunity
Bullish HA Candles: Green/teal candles indicate upward momentum
Bearish HA Candles: Red candles indicate downward momentum
MA Crossovers: Fast EMA above slow EMA suggests bullish momentum, below suggests bearish momentum
Zone Exits: Price moving out of extreme zones (above 70 or below 30) often signals trend continuation
🔶 EXAMPLES
Mean Reversion Signals: When the oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 70 or below 30), it identifies potential reversal points where price may revert to the mean.
Example: Oscillator reaching 80+ levels during strong uptrends often precedes short-term pullbacks, providing profit-taking opportunities.
Trend Change Detection: The double Heikin-Ashi smoothing helps identify genuine trend changes while filtering out market noise.
Example: When oscillator HA candles change from red to teal after oversold readings, this confirms potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
Moving Average Confirmation: Fast and slow EMA crossovers on the oscillator provide additional confirmation of momentum shifts.
Example: Fast EMA crossing above slow EMA while oscillator is rising from oversold levels provides strong bullish confirmation signal.
Dashboard Signal Integration: The real-time dashboard combines oscillator status with directional signals for quick decision-making.
Example: Dashboard showing "Oversold" status with "BUY" signal when HA candles turn bullish provides clear entry timing.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
Calculation: Oscillator period (default 14), smoothing factor (1-50, default 2)
Levels: Overbought threshold (50-100, default 70), oversold threshold (0-50, default 30)
Moving Averages: Toggle display, fast EMA length (default 9), slow EMA length (default 21)
Visual Enhancements: Show/hide signal dashboard, customizable table position
Alert Conditions: Oversold bounce, overbought reversal, bullish/bearish MA crossovers
The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator provides traders with a sophisticated momentum tool that combines the smoothing benefits of Heikin-Ashi analysis with mean reversion principles. The double transformation process creates cleaner signals while the integrated dashboard and multiple confirmation methods help traders identify high-probability entry and exit points during both trending and ranging market conditions.
Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual
Then this tool belongs in your chart arsenal.
📈 Try it. Test it. Pair it. If you find value, consider sharing or following for more next-gen indicators.
Please note this is an educational idea and past performance is not assurance of future performance.
Happy trading!

Truly Iterative Gaussian ChannelOVERVIEW
The Truly Iterative Gaussian Channel is a robust channeling system that integrates a Gaussian smoothing kernel with a rolling standard deviation to create dynamically adaptive upper and lower boundaries around price. This indicator provides a smooth, yet responsive representation of price movements while minimizing lag and dynamically adjusting channel width to reflect real-time market volatility. Its versatility makes it effective across various timeframes and trading styles, offering significant potential for experimentation and integration into advanced trading systems.
TRADING USES
The Gaussian indicator can be used for multiple trading strategies. Trend following relies on the middle Gaussian line to gauge trend direction: prices above this line indicate bullish momentum, while prices below signal bearish momentum. The upper and lower boundaries act as dynamic support and resistance levels, offering breakout or pullback entry opportunities. Mean reversion focuses on identifying reversal setups when price approaches or breaches the outer boundaries, aiming for a return to the Gaussian centerline. Volatility filtering helps assess market conditions, with narrow channels indicating low volatility or consolidation and suggesting fewer trading opportunities or an impending breakout. Adaptive risk management uses channel width to adjust for market volatility, with wider channels signaling higher risk and tighter channels indicating lower volatility and potentially safer entry points.
THEORY
Gaussian kernel smoothing, derived from the Gaussian normal distribution, is a cornerstone of probability and statistics, valued for its ability to reduce noise while preserving critical signal features. In this indicator, it ensures price movements are smoothed with precision, minimizing distortion while maintaining responsiveness to market dynamics.
The rolling standard deviation complements this by dynamically measuring price dispersion from the mean, enabling the channel to adapt in real time to changing market conditions. This combination leverages the mathematical correctness of both tools to balance smoothness and adaptability.
An iterative framework processes data efficiently, bar by bar, without recalculating historical value to ensure reliability and preventing repainting to create a mathematically grounded channel system suitable for a wide range of market environments.
The Gaussian channel excels at filtering noise while remaining responsive to price action, providing traders with a dependable tool for identifying trends, reversals, and volatility shifts with consistency and precision.
CALIBRATION
Calibration of the Gaussian channel involves adjusting its length to modify sensitivity and adaptability based on trading style. Shorter lengths (e.g., 50-100) are ideal for intraday traders seeking quick responses to price fluctuations. Medium lengths (e.g., 150-200) cater to swing traders aiming to capture broader market trends. Longer lengths (e.g., 250-400+) are better suited for positional traders focusing on long-term price movements and stability.
MARKET USAGE
Stock, Forex, Crypto, Commodities, and Indices.

Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator
## **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator**
### **Introduction:**
The **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool tailored to provide insights into market momentum, identify potential trading signals, and recognize extreme market conditions. It leverages the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to strip out long-term trends from price movements, allowing traders to focus on short-term fluctuations and cyclical behavior. The indicator integrates multiple components, including a Detrended Price Oscillator, a Signal Line, a Histogram, and customizable alert levels, to deliver a robust framework for market analysis and trading decision-making.
### **Detailed Breakdown:**
#### **1. Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO):**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The DPO is designed to filter out long-term trends from the price data, isolating short-term price movements. This helps in understanding the cyclical patterns and momentum of an asset, allowing traders to detect periods of acceleration or deceleration that might be overlooked when focusing solely on long-term trends.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `dpo = close - ta.sma(close, smaLength)`
- **`close`:** The asset’s closing price for each period in the dataset.
- **`ta.sma(close, smaLength)`:** The Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices over a period defined by `smaLength`.
- The DPO is derived by subtracting the SMA value from the current closing price. This calculation reveals how much the current price deviates from the moving average, effectively detrending the price data.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Positive DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is higher than the moving average, suggesting bullish market conditions and a potential upward trend.
- **Negative DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is lower than the moving average, suggesting bearish market conditions and a potential downward trend.
- **Magnitude of DPO:** Reflects the strength of momentum. Larger positive or negative values suggest stronger momentum in the respective direction.
#### **2. Signal Line:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Signal Line is a smoothed average of the DPO, intended to act as a reference point for generating trading signals. It helps to filter out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer perspective on the prevailing trend.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `signalLine = ta.sma(dpo, signalLength)`
- **`ta.sma(dpo, signalLength)`:** The SMA of the DPO values over a period defined by `signalLength`.
- The Signal Line is calculated by applying a moving average to the DPO values. This smoothing process reduces noise and highlights the underlying trend direction.
- **Interpretation:**
- **DPO Crossing Above Signal Line:** Generates a buy signal, suggesting that short-term momentum is turning bullish relative to the longer-term trend.
- **DPO Crossing Below Signal Line:** Generates a sell signal, suggesting that short-term momentum is turning bearish relative to the longer-term trend.
- **Signal Line’s Role:** Provides a benchmark for assessing the strength of the DPO. The interaction between the DPO and the Signal Line offers actionable insights into potential entry or exit points.
#### **3. Histogram:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Histogram visualizes the difference between the DPO and the Signal Line. It provides a graphical representation of momentum strength and direction, allowing traders to quickly gauge market conditions.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `histogram = dpo - signalLine`
- The Histogram is computed by subtracting the Signal Line value from the DPO value. Positive values indicate that the DPO is above the Signal Line, while negative values indicate that the DPO is below the Signal Line.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Color Coding:**
- **Green Bars:** Represent positive values, indicating bullish momentum.
- **Red Bars:** Represent negative values, indicating bearish momentum.
- **Width of Bars:** Indicates the strength of momentum. Wider bars signify stronger momentum, while narrower bars suggest weaker momentum.
- **Zero Line:** A horizontal gray line that separates positive and negative histogram values. Crosses of the histogram through this zero line can signal shifts in momentum direction.
#### **4. Alert Levels:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- Alert levels define specific thresholds to identify extreme market conditions, such as overbought and oversold states. These levels help traders recognize potential reversal points and extreme market conditions.
- **Inputs:**
- **`alertLevel1`:** Defines the upper threshold for identifying overbought conditions.
- **Default Value:** 0.5
- **`alertLevel2`:** Defines the lower threshold for identifying oversold conditions.
- **Default Value:** -0.5
- **Interpretation:**
- **Overbought Condition:** When the DPO exceeds `alertLevel1`, indicating that the market may be overbought. This condition suggests that the asset could be due for a correction or reversal.
- **Oversold Condition:** When the DPO falls below `alertLevel2`, indicating that the market may be oversold. This condition suggests that the asset could be poised for a rebound or reversal.
#### **5. Visual Elements:**
- **DPO and Signal Line Plots:**
- **DPO Plot:**
- **Color:** Blue
- **Width:** 2 pixels
- **Purpose:** To visually represent the deviation of the current price from the moving average.
- **Signal Line Plot:**
- **Color:** Red
- **Width:** 1 pixel
