MTF Selection Framework - PineCoders FAQOur MTF Selection Framework allows Pine coders to add multi-timeframe capabilities to their script with the following features:
► Timeframe selection
The higher timeframe can be selected using 3 different ways:
• By steps (60 min., 1D, 3D, 1W, 1M, 1Y).
• As a multiple of the current chart's resolution, which can be fractional, so 3.5 will work.
• Fixed.
► Non-repainting or Repainting mode can be selected.
► Smoothing of the HTF line
Can be turned on/off and a smoothing factor allows the user to select the degree of smoothing he requires.
The framework is used here to create a higher timeframe version of a simple RSI line, but it can be used to access HTF information for almost any signal.
Functions used
f_resInMinutes()
Converts the current timeframe.multiplier plus the TF into minutes of type float.
• In Pine, the timeframe.multiplier is an integer representing the resolution, but a value of 1 can mean one day or one minute. This function converts that information in a standard fractional float minutes format that can then be used by the other functions in the framework.
• If the chart's current resolution is 15 seconds, the function will return 0.25 . If the chart's resolution is one day, it will return 1440 .
f_tfResInMinutes(_resolution)
Returns resolution of _resolution period in minutes.
• This function does the same as f_resInMinutes() , but on the target resolution supplied as a parameter in the timeframe.period string format.
f_resNextStep(_res)
Given a current resolution in fractional float minutes, returns its corresponding stepped HTF in the timeframe.period string format.
• This allows the implementation of the step HTF selection mode.
f_multipleOfRes(_res, _mult)
Given a current resolution in fractional float minutes and a fractional multiplier, returns a multiple of the resolution as a string in "timeframe.period" format usable with "security()".
• A multiple like 3.5 is allowed.
• Note that with seconds resolutions, the result returned is constrained by the discrete seconds resolutions available on TV.
f_htfLabel(_txt, _y, _color)
Used to display a label showing either:
• A warning when the chart's resolution is not lower than the HTF.
• The HTF resolution currently used.
The y position used to position the label will require adaptation to the signal you are using. For use in "overlay = true" mode, a technique that works well is commented out in the code.
Look first. Then leap.
MTF Smoothed Moving Averages x4A set of smoothed moving averages that stay at a fixed timeframe, regardless of the timeframe of the chart but don't have nasty jaggedy lines. Instead, they are smooooooooooooth...

MTF Stochastic CCI ALERTWorks good on 5 or 15min set to the 2hr or 4hr time frame.
Set an alarm (Set an alert on each Long/Short "crossing down", 0.8 (or anything below 0.99), "on condition" )
Or just as a visual.
Best to use other factors to confirm but most of the time it does a pretty decent job.
Multi SMA EMA WMA HMA BB (4x3 MAs Bollinger Bands) Pro MTF - RRBMulti SMA EMA WMA HMA 4x3 Moving Averages with Bollinger Bands Pro MTF by RagingRocketBull 2018
Version 1.0
This indicator shows multiple MAs of any type SMA EMA WMA HMA etc with BB and MTF support, can show MAs as dynamically moving levels.
There are 4 MA groups + 1 BB group. You can assign any type/timeframe combo to a group, for example:
- EMAs 50,100,200 x H1, H4, D1, W1 (4 TFs x 3 MAs x 1 type)
- EMAs 8,13,21,55,100,200 x M15, H1 (2 TFs x 6 MAs x 1 type)
- D1 EMAs and SMAs 12,26,50,100,200,400 (1 TF x 6 MAs x 2 types)
- H1 WMAs 7,77,231; H4 HMAs 50,100,200; D1 EMAs 144,169,233; W1 SMAs 50,100,200 (4 TFs x 3 MAs x 4 types)
- +1 extra MA type/timeframe for BB
compile time: 25-30 sec
full redraw time after parameter change in UI: 3 sec
There are several versions: Simple, MTF, Pro MTF, Advanced MTF and Ultimate MTF. This is the Pro MTF version. The Differences are listed below. All versions have BB
- Simple: you have 2 groups of MAs that can be assigned any type (5+5)
- MTF: +2 custom Timeframes for each group (2x5 MTF)
- Pro MTF: +4 custom Timeframes for each group (4x3 MTF), MA levels and show max bars back options
- Advanced MTF: +2 extra MAs/group (4x5 MTF), custom Ticker/Symbol, backreferences for type, TF and MA lengths in UI
- Ultimate MTF: +individual settings for each MA, custom Ticker/Symbols
Features:
- 4x3 = 12 MAs of any type including Hull Moving Average (HMA)
- 4x MTF groups with step line smoothing
- BB +1 extra TF/type for BB MAs
- 12 MA levels with adjustable group offsets, indents and shift
- show max bars back
- you can show/hide both groups of MAs/levels and individual MAs
Notes:
1. based on 3EmaBB, uses plot*, barssince and security functions
2. you can't set certain constants from input due to Pinescript limitations - change the code as needed, recompile and use as a private version
3. Levels = trackprice implementation
4. Show Max Bars Back = show_last implementation
5. uses timeframe textbox instead of input resolution to allow for 120 240 and other custom TFs. Also supports TFs in hours: 2H or H2
6. swma has a fixed length = 4, alma and linreg have additional offset and smoothing params
7. Smoothing is applied by default for visual aesthetics on MTF. To use exact ma mtf values (lines with stair stepping) - disable it
MTF Notes:
- uses simple timeframe textbox instead of input resolution dropdown to allow for 120, 240 and other custom TFs, also supports timeframes in H: 2H, H2
- Groups that are not assigned a Custom TF will use Current Timeframe (0).
- MTF will work for any MA type assigned to the group
- MTF works both ways: you can display a higher TF MA/BB on a lower TF or a lower TF MA/BB on a higher TF.
- MTF MA values are normally aligned at the boundary of their native timeframe. This produces stair stepping when a higher TF MA is viewed on a lower TF.
Therefore X Y Point Density/Smoothing is applied by default on MA MTF for visual aesthetics. Set both to 0 to disable and see exact ma mtf values (lines with stair stepping and original mtf alignment).
- Smoothing is disabled for BB MTF bands because fill doesn't work with smoothed MAs after duplicate values are replaced with na.
- MTF MA Value fluctuation is possible on the current bar due to default security lookahead
Smoothing:
- X,Y == 0 - X,Y smoothing disabled (stair stepping on high TFs)
- X == 0, Y > 0 - X,Y smoothing applied to all TFs
- Y == 0, X > 0 - X smoothing applied to all TFs < deltaX_max_tf, Y smoothing disabled
- X > 0, Y > 0 - Y smoothing applied to all TFs, then X smoothing applied to all TFs < deltaX_max_tf
X Smoothing with Y == 0 - shows only every deltaX-th point starting from the first bar.
X Smoothing with Y > 0 - shows only every deltaX-th point starting from the last shown Y point, essentially filling huge gaps remaining after Y Smoothing with points and preserving the curve's general shape
X Smoothing on high TFs with already scarce points produces weird curve shapes, it works best only on high density lower TFs
Y Smoothing reduces points on all TFs, removes adjacent points with prices within deltaY, while preserving the smaller curve details.
A combination of X,Y produces the most accurate smoothing. Higher delta value - larger range, more points removed.
Show Max Bars Back:
- can't set plot show_last from input -> implemented using a timenow based range check
- you can't delete/modify history once plotted, so essentially it just sets a start point for plotting (from num_bars bars back) that works only in realtime mode (not in replay)
Levels:
You can plot current MA value using plot trackprice=true or by checking Show Price Line in Style. Problem is:
- you can only change color (not the dashed line style, width), have both ma + price line (not just the line), and it's full screen wide
- you can't set plot trackprice from input => implemented using plotshape/plotchar with fixed text labels serving as levels
- there's no other way of creating a dynamic level: hline, plot, offset - nothing else works.
- you can't plot a text var - all text strings must be constants, so you can't change the style, width and text labels without recompiling.
- from input you can only adjust offset, indent and shift for each level group, and change color
- the dot below each level line is the exact MA value. If you want just the line swap plotshape with plotchar, recompile and save as your private version, adjust Y shift.
To speed up redraw times: reduce last_bars to ~2000, recompile and use as your own private version
Pinescript is a rudimentary language (should be called Painscript instead) that can basically only plot data. You can't do much else. Please see the code for tips and hints.
Certain things just can't be done or require shady workarounds and weeks of testing trying to resolve weird node.js compiler errors.
Feel free to learn from/reuse/change the code as needed and use as your own private version. See comments in code. Good Luck!
Luxy VWAP Magic - MTF Projection EngineThis indicator transforms the classic VWAP into a comprehensive trading system. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, you get everything in one place: multi-timeframe analysis, statistical bands, momentum detection, volume profiling, session tracking, and divergence signals.
What Makes This Different
Traditional VWAP indicators show a single line. This tool treats VWAP as a foundation for complete market analysis. The indicator automatically detects your asset type (stocks, crypto, forex, futures) and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Crypto traders get 24/7 session tracking. Stock traders get proper market hours handling. Everyone gets institutional-grade analytics.
Anchor Period Options
The anchor period determines when VWAP resets and recalculates. You have three categories of options:
Time-Based Anchors:
Session - Resets at market open. Best for intraday stock trading where you want fresh VWAP each day.
Day - Resets at midnight UTC. Standard option for most traders.
Week / Month / Quarter / Year - Longer reset periods for swing traders and position traders who want broader context.
Rolling Window Anchors:
Rolling 5D - A sliding 5-day window that never resets. Solves the Monday problem where weekly VWAP equals daily VWAP on first day of week.
Rolling 21D - Approximately one month of trading data in continuous calculation. Excellent for crypto and forex markets that trade 24/7 without clear session breaks.
Event-Based Anchors:
Dividends - Resets on ex-dividend dates. Track institutional cost basis from dividend events.
Splits - Resets on stock split dates. Useful for analyzing post-split trading behavior.
Earnings - Resets on earnings report dates. See where volume-weighted trading occurred since last quarterly report.
Standard Deviation Bands
Three sets of bands surround the main VWAP line:
Band 1 (Aqua) - Plus and minus one standard deviation. Approximately 68% of price action occurs within this range under normal distribution. Touches suggest minor extension.
Band 2 (Fuchsia) - Plus and minus two standard deviations. Only 5% of trading should occur outside this range statistically. Touches here indicate significant overextension and high probability of mean reversion.
Band 3 (Purple) - Plus and minus three standard deviations. Touches are rare (0.3% probability) and represent extreme conditions. Often marks climax moves or panic selling/buying.
Each band can be toggled independently. Most traders show Band 1 by default and add Band 2 and 3 for specific setups or volatile instruments.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP System
The MTF section plots previous period VWAPs as horizontal support and resistance levels:
Daily VWAP - Previous day's final VWAP value. Key intraday reference level.
Weekly VWAP - Previous week's final VWAP. Important for swing traders.
Monthly VWAP - Previous month's final VWAP. Institutional benchmark level.
Quarterly VWAP - Previous quarter's final VWAP. Major support/resistance for position traders.
Previous Day VWAP - Yesterday's closing VWAP specifically, separate from current daily calculation.
The Confluence Zone percentage setting determines how close multiple VWAPs must be to trigger a confluence alert. When two or more timeframe VWAPs converge within this threshold, you get a high-probability support/resistance zone.
Session VWAPs for Global Markets
For forex, crypto, and futures traders who operate in 24/7 markets, the indicator tracks three major global sessions:
Asia Session - UTC 21:00 to 08:00. Gold colored line. Typically lower volatility, range-bound action that sets overnight levels.
London Session - UTC 08:00 to 17:00. Orange colored line. Often determines daily direction with high volume European participation.
New York Session - UTC 13:00 to 22:00. Blue colored line. Highest volume session globally. Sharp directional moves common.
Previous session VWAP values display as horizontal lines when each session closes, acting as intraday support and resistance. The table shows which sessions are currently active with checkmarks.
On-Chart Labels and Signals
The indicator plots several types of labels directly on price action when significant events occur:
Volume Spike Labels
Fire when current bar volume exceeds configurable thresholds relative to both the previous bar and the 20-bar average. Default settings require 300% of previous bar AND 200% of average volume. Green labels indicate bullish candles. Red labels indicate bearish candles. These spikes often mark institutional entry points.
Momentum Shift Labels
Appear when VWAP acceleration changes direction. The Slowing label warns when an active trend loses steam, often preceding reversal. The Accelerating label confirms trend continuation or potential bottom during downtrends. Filters available to show only reversal signals in existing trends.
VWAP Squeeze Labels
Detect when standard deviation bands contract relative to ATR (Average True Range). Low volatility compression often precedes explosive breakout moves. When the squeeze fires (releases), a label appears with directional prediction based on VWAP slope.
Divergence Labels
Mark price/volume divergences using CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) analysis:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, but CVD makes higher low. Hidden accumulation despite price weakness.
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, but CVD makes lower high. Hidden distribution despite price strength.
Dynamic VWAP Coloring
The main VWAP line changes color based on its slope direction:
Green - VWAP is rising. Institutional buying pressure. Volume-weighted price increasing.
Red - VWAP is falling. Institutional selling pressure. Volume-weighted price decreasing.
Gray - VWAP is flat. Consolidation or balance between buyers and sellers.
This coloring can be disabled for a static blue line if you prefer cleaner visuals. The VWAP label next to the line shows the current trend direction and delta percentage.
Calculated Projection Cone
One of the most powerful features is the Calculated Projection Cone. Unlike traditional extrapolation methods that simply extend a trend line forward, this system analyzes what actually happened in similar market conditions throughout the chart's history.
How It Works:
The system classifies each bar into one of 27 unique market states:
Z-Score Level - LOW (oversold), MID (fair value), or HIGH (overbought) based on configurable thresholds
Trend Direction - DOWN, FLAT, or UP based on VWAP slope
Volume Profile - LOW (below 80%), NORMAL (80-150%), or HIGH (above 150%) relative volume
When you look at the current bar, the indicator:
1. Identifies the current market state (e.g., LOW Z-Score + UP Trend + HIGH Volume)
2. Searches through all historical bars on the chart that had the same state
3. Calculates what happened in those bars X bars later (where X is your projection horizon)
4. Shows you the probability of up/down and the average move size
Visual Elements:
Probability Cone - Colored green (bullish probability above 55%), red (bearish below 45%), or gold (neutral). The cone width represents the historical range of outcomes (roughly the 20th to 80th percentile).
Center Line - Shows the average expected price based on historical outcomes in similar conditions.
Probability Label - Displays direction probability and average move. Example: "67% UP (+0.8%)" means 67% of similar past cases moved up, averaging 0.8% gain.
Fallback System:
When the exact 27-state match has insufficient historical data:
First fallback: Uses Z-Score plus Trend only (9 broader states, ignoring volume)
Second fallback: Uses Z-Score only (3 states)
When fallback is active, confidence automatically adjusts
Settings:
Projection Horizon - How many bars forward to analyze outcomes (5, 10, 15, or 20 bars, default 10)
Lookback Period - Historical data window in days (30-252, default 60)
Minimum Samples - Cases needed before using fallback (5-30, default 10)
Z-Score Threshold - Bucket boundary for LOW/MID/HIGH classification (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 sigma)
Cloud Transparency - Adjust visibility (50-95%)
Colors - Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral cone colors
Confidence Levels:
HIGH - 30 or more similar historical cases found
MEDIUM - 15-29 similar cases
LOW - Fewer than 15 cases (more uncertainty)
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The Calculated Projection is based on past patterns only. It is NOT a price prediction or financial advice. Similar market states in the past do not guarantee similar outcomes in the future. The probability shown is historical frequency, not a guarantee. Always combine with other analysis and never rely solely on projections for trading decisions.
Alert Conditions
The indicator includes over 20 pre-built alert conditions:
Price vs VWAP:
Price crosses above VWAP
Price crosses below VWAP
Band Touches:
Price touches plus or minus one sigma band
Price touches plus or minus two sigma band (extreme)
Price touches plus or minus three sigma band (very extreme)
Z-Score Extremes:
Z-Score crosses above plus two (overbought extreme)
Z-Score crosses below minus two (oversold extreme)
Momentum and Trend:
Momentum slowing
Momentum accelerating
Trend turns bullish/bearish/neutral
Volume:
Volume spike detected
CVD Direction:
Buyers take control
Sellers take control
High Probability Signals:
Bullish reversal signal (oversold plus accelerating momentum)
Bearish reversal signal (overbought plus slowing momentum)
MTF and Special:
MTF confluence zone entry
VWAP squeeze fired
Bullish/Bearish divergence detected
Any significant signal (catch-all)
All signals use confirmed bar data to prevent false alerts from incomplete candles.

The Info Table - Your Trading Dashboard
The right side of your chart displays a compact table with up to twelve metrics.
Row-by-Row Breakdown:
Asset and Period - Shows what the indicator detected (US Stock, Crypto, Forex, etc.) and your selected anchor period. The detection happens automatically based on exchange data, so VWAP resets and calculations match your actual trading instrument.
Delta Percentage - How far current price sits from VWAP, expressed as a percentage. Positive means price trades above fair value. Negative means below. Large delta values (beyond 1-2%) often precede mean reversion moves. Day traders watch this for overextension.
Z-Score - Statistical deviation from VWAP measured in standard deviations. Unlike raw delta, Z-Score accounts for volatility. A 2% move in a volatile biotech stock differs from 2% in a stable utility. Z-Score normalizes this. Values beyond plus or minus two sigma occur only 5% of the time statistically.
Trend Direction - Whether VWAP itself is rising, falling, or flat. Rising VWAP means the volume-weighted average price is increasing, which indicates institutional accumulation. Falling VWAP suggests distribution. This differs from price trend since it weights by volume.
Momentum State - Is the trend accelerating or slowing down? This measures the rate of change in VWAP slope. When an uptrend shows slowing momentum, it often precedes reversal. Accelerating momentum in a downtrend can signal capitulation and potential bottom.
Relative Volume - Current bar volume compared to the 20-bar average, shown as percentage. Values above 150% indicate above-average activity. Spikes above 200-300% often mark institutional involvement. Low volume (below 80%) warns of potential fake moves.
MTF Bias - Four checkmarks or X marks showing whether price sits above or below Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly VWAP. Four checkmarks means strong bullish alignment across all timeframes. Four X marks indicates bearish alignment. Mixed readings suggest consolidation or transition.
Band Probabilities - Historical statistics showing how often price touched each standard deviation band over your lookback period. This helps you understand if mean reversion or trend following works better for your specific instrument.
Session Status - Which global trading sessions are currently active (Asia, London, New York). Shows checkmarks for active sessions. Important for forex and crypto traders who need to know when major liquidity windows open and close.
Divergence State - Whether the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence between price and cumulative volume delta. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but buying pressure (CVD) makes higher lows, suggesting hidden accumulation.
Confidence Score - A weighted composite of all factors displayed as a progress bar and percentage. Combines MTF alignment, Z-Score, trend direction, volume delta, momentum, and relative volume into a single 0-100 score. Higher scores indicate stronger conviction setups.
Calculated Projection - When the Projection Cone is enabled, shows the historical probability of price direction and expected move. For example: "▲ 67% (+0.8%)" means in similar market states historically, price moved up 67% of the time with an average gain of 0.8%. The system analyzes 27 unique market states based on Z-Score, Trend, and Volume conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Day Trading Stocks:
Use Session anchor with Band 1 visible. Watch for price returning to VWAP after morning move. Volume spikes near VWAP often mark institutional accumulation zones.
Swing Trading:
Use Weekly or Rolling 21D anchor. Enable MTF lines for Daily and Weekly levels. Trade pullbacks to these levels in direction of MTF bias.
Crypto and Forex:
Enable Session VWAPs. Use Rolling anchors to avoid artificial resets. Monitor session transitions for breakout opportunities.
Mean Reversion:
Focus on Z-Score reaching plus or minus two. Add Band 2 visibility. Combine with slowing momentum for highest probability reversals.
Trend Following:
Watch MTF bias alignment. Four checkmarks plus accelerating momentum plus high volume confirms trend continuation setups.
Projection Planning:
Enable the Calculated Projection to see what happened historically in similar market conditions. Use 5-10 bars for intraday setups, 15-20 bars for swing trade planning. Focus on high probability readings (above 60%) with HIGH confidence (30 or more samples). The cone shows the probable range of outcomes based on actual historical data. Combine with other factors like MTF alignment and volume for higher conviction setups.
Important Notes
The indicator does not repaint. MTF values use previous period's confirmed data.
Rolling VWAP works best on 15-minute timeframes and above due to bar lookback requirements.
Session VWAPs apply to global markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). Enable the all-assets option for stocks if desired.
Volume data for forex represents tick volume, not actual traded volume.
All alert conditions fire only on confirmed (closed) bars to prevent false signals.
The Calculated Projection updates each bar as market state changes. This is expected behavior. The projection shows probabilities based on similar past conditions, not a fixed prediction.
Q AND A
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: No. The main VWAP calculation uses standard TradingView VWAP methodology. Multi-timeframe values use previous period's confirmed data with appropriate lookahead settings. All alert signals require bar confirmation.
Q: Why does my Rolling VWAP look different on 1-minute versus 15-minute charts?
A: Rolling VWAP calculates across a fixed number of trading days. On very short timeframes, the bar lookback may hit TradingView limits. For best Rolling VWAP accuracy, use 15-minute or higher timeframes.
Q: Can I use this on any instrument?
A: Yes. The indicator automatically detects asset type and adjusts behavior. Stocks use standard market hours. Crypto uses 24/7 calculations. Forex uses tick volume. Everything adapts automatically.
Q: What does the Confidence Score actually measure?
A: The score combines six weighted factors: MTF alignment (25%), Z-Score position (20%), Trend direction (20%), CVD pressure (15%), Momentum state (10%), and Relative volume (10%). Higher scores indicate more factors aligned in one direction.
Q: Why are Session VWAPs not showing on my stock chart?
A: Session VWAPs apply to 24-hour markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). For stocks, enable the Use for All Assets option in Session VWAP settings.
Q: The Divergence labels appear delayed. Is this a bug?
A: Divergence detection requires pivot confirmation, which needs bars on both sides of the pivot point. The label appears at the actual pivot location (several bars back) once confirmed. This is intentional and prevents false signals.
Q: Can I change the band colors?
A: Yes. Each of the three bands has its own color input setting. You can customize Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3 colors to match your preferences. The defaults are Aqua, Fuchsia, and Purple. The main VWAP line color adapts dynamically based on slope direction or can be set to static blue.
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Right-click on the chart, select Add Alert, choose this indicator, and select your desired condition from the dropdown. All conditions include descriptive alert messages with relevant data.
Q: What is the Probability Engine lookback period?
A: This setting determines how many trading days the indicator analyzes to calculate band touch rates and mean reversion statistics. Default is 60 days (approximately 3 months). Longer periods provide more stable statistics but may miss recent behavior changes.
Q: Why do I see fewer labels than expected?
A: Signal labels (Volume, Momentum, Squeeze, Divergence) are limited to 5 most recent labels on the chart to keep it clean. When a new label appears, the oldest one is automatically removed. Additionally, momentum labels have several filters: check the slope multiplier setting (higher values require stronger trends) and the Only Reversal Signals option (when enabled, labels only appear for potential reversals, not trend confirmations).
Q: What is the Calculated Projection and how accurate is it?
A: The Calculated Projection analyzes what happened in past market conditions similar to the current state. It classifies each bar by Z-Score level, Trend direction, and Volume profile (27 unique states), then shows the historical probability of up vs down and the average move size. It is NOT a price prediction or guarantee. The probability shown is how often similar conditions led to up/down moves historically, not a future guarantee. Always use it as one input among many.
Q: Why does the Projection probability change?
A: The projection updates on each bar as market state changes. If Z-Score moves from LOW to MID, or trend shifts from UP to FLAT, the system looks up a different historical category. This is expected behavior. The projection shows what happened in similar past conditions to the current bar's state.
Q: The Projection shows LOW confidence. What does that mean?
A: Confidence levels indicate sample size: HIGH means 30 or more historical cases found, MEDIUM means 15-29 cases, LOW means fewer than 15 cases. When sample size is low, the system uses a fallback: first aggregating by Z-Score plus Trend only (ignoring volume), then by Z-Score only. LOW confidence means less statistical reliability, so weight other factors more heavily in your decision.
Q: Why does the cone sometimes show 50/50 probability?
A: A 50/50 reading means that in similar past market states, price moved up roughly half the time and down half the time. This indicates a neutral or balanced condition where historical patterns provide no directional edge. Consider waiting for a higher probability setup or using other analysis methods.

Stochastic RSI with MTF TableShort Description of the Script
The provided Pine Script indicator, titled "Stochastic RSI with MTF Table," calculates and displays the Stochastic RSI for the current timeframe and multiple other timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m, and daily). The Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that blends the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals via K and D line crossovers.
Key features of the script include:
Inputs: Customizable parameters such as K smoothing (default 3), D smoothing (default 3), RSI length (default 14), Stochastic length (default 14), source price (default close), and overbought/oversold levels (default 80/20).
MTF Table: A table displays the Stochastic RSI status for each timeframe:
"OB" (overbought) if K > 80, "OS" (oversold) if K < 20, or "N" (neutral) otherwise.
Crossovers: "K↑D" for bullish (K crosses above D) and "K↓D" for bearish (K crosses below D).
Visualization: Plots the K and D lines for the current timeframe, with horizontal lines at 80 (overbought), 50 (middle), and 20 (oversold), plus a background fill for clarity.
Table Position: Configurable to appear in one of four chart corners (default: top-right).
This indicator helps traders assess momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously, aiding in the identification of trend strength and potential entry/exit points.
Trading Strategy with 50EMA and 200EMA for Highest Winning Rate
To create a strategy with the best probability of a high winning rate using the Stochastic RSI MTF indicator alongside the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (50EMA) and 200-period Exponential Moving Average (200EMA), we can combine trend identification with momentum-based entry timing. The 50EMA and 200EMA are widely used to determine medium- and long-term trends, while the Stochastic RSI MTF table provides multi-timeframe momentum signals. Here’s the strategy:
1. Determine the Overall Trend
Bullish Trend: The 50EMA is above the 200EMA on the current timeframe (e.g., daily or 60m chart). This suggests an uptrend, often associated with a "Golden Cross."
Bearish Trend: The 50EMA is below the 200EMA on the current timeframe. This indicates a downtrend, often linked to a "Death Cross."
Implementation: Plot the 50EMA and 200EMA on your chart and visually confirm their relative positions.
2. Identify Entry Signals Using the Stochastic RSI MTF Table
In a Bullish Trend (50EMA > 200EMA):
Look for timeframes in the MTF table showing:
Oversold (OS): K < 20, indicating a potential pullback in the uptrend where price may rebound.
Bullish Crossover (K↑D): K crosses above D, signaling rising momentum and a potential entry point.
Example: If the 60m and 240m timeframes show "OS" or "K↑D," this could be a buy signal.
In a Bearish Trend (50EMA < 200EMA):
Look for timeframes in the MTF table showing:
Overbought (OB): K > 80, suggesting a rally in the downtrend where price may reverse downward.
Bearish Crossover (K↓D): K crosses below D, indicating declining momentum and a potential short entry.
Example: If the 30m and daily timeframes show "OB" or "K↓D," this could be a sell/short signal.
Current Timeframe Check: Use the plotted K and D lines on your trading timeframe for precise entry timing (e.g., confirm a K↑D crossover on a 60m chart for a long trade).
3. Confirm Signals Across Multiple Timeframes
Strengthen the Signal: A higher winning rate is more likely when multiple timeframes align with the trend and signal. For instance:
Bullish trend + "OS" or "K↑D" on 60m, 240m, and daily = strong buy signal.
Bearish trend + "OB" or "K↓D" on 15m, 60m, and 240m = strong sell signal.
Prioritize Higher Timeframes: Signals from the 240m or daily timeframe carry more weight due to their indication of broader trends, increasing reliability.
4. Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels
Long Trades (Bullish):
Stop-Loss: Place below the most recent swing low or below the 50EMA, whichever is closer, to protect against trend reversals.
Take-Profit: Target a key resistance level or use a risk-reward ratio (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) based on the stop-loss distance.
Short Trades (Bearish):
Stop-Loss: Place above the most recent swing high or above the 50EMA, whichever is closer.
Take-Profit: Target a key support level or apply a similar risk-reward ratio.
Trailing Stop Option: As the trend progresses, trail the stop below the 50EMA (for longs) or above it (for shorts) to lock in profits.
5. Risk Management
Position Sizing: Risk no more than 1-2% of your trading capital per trade to minimize losses from false signals.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust stop-loss distances and position sizes based on the asset’s volatility (e.g., wider stops for volatile stocks or crypto).
Avoid Overtrading: Wait for clear alignment between the EMA trend and MTF signals to avoid low-probability setups.
Example Scenario
Chart: 60-minute timeframe.
Trend: 50EMA > 200EMA (bullish).
MTF Table: 60m shows "OS," 240m shows "K↑D," and daily is "N."
Action: Enter a long position when the 60m K line crosses above D, confirming the table signal.
Stop-Loss: Below the recent 60m swing low (e.g., 2% below entry).
Take-Profit: At the next resistance level or a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Outcome: High probability of success due to trend alignment and multi-timeframe confirmation.
Why This Strategy Works
Trend Following: Trading in the direction of the 50EMA/200EMA trend reduces the risk of fighting the market’s momentum.
Momentum Timing: The Stochastic RSI MTF table pinpoints pullbacks or reversals within the trend, improving entry timing.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Alignment across timeframes filters out noise, increasing the win rate.
Risk Control: Defined stop-loss and position sizing protect against inevitable losses.
Caveats
No strategy guarantees a 100% win rate; false signals can occur, especially in choppy markets.
Test this strategy on historical data or a demo account to verify its effectiveness for your asset and timeframe.
This approach leverages the strengths of both trend-following (EMA) and momentum (Stochastic RSI) tools, aiming for a high-probability, disciplined trading system.

Market Structure Trailing Stop MTF [Inspired by LuxAlgo]# Market Structure Trailing Stop MTF
**OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT**
*208k+ views on original · Modified for MTF Support*
This indicator is a direct adaptation of the renowned **Market Structure Trailing Stop** by **LuxAlgo** (original script: [Market Structure Trailing Stop ]()). The core logic remains untouched, providing dynamic trailing stops based on market structure breaks (CHoCH/BOS). The **only modification** is the addition of **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) support**, allowing users to apply the trailing stops and structures from **higher timeframes (HTF)** directly on their current chart. This enhances usability for traders analyzing cross-timeframe confluence without switching charts.
**Special thanks to LuxAlgo** for releasing this powerful open-source tool under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Your contributions to the TradingView community have inspired countless traders—grateful for the solid foundation!
## 🔶 How the Script Works: A Deep Dive
At its heart, this indicator detects **market structure shifts** (bullish or bearish breaks of swing highs/lows) and uses them to generate **adaptive trailing stops**. These stops trail the price while protecting profits and acting as dynamic support/resistance levels. The MTF enhancement pulls this logic from user-specified higher timeframes, overlaying HTF structures and stops on the lower timeframe chart for seamless multi-timeframe analysis.
### Core Logic (Unchanged from LuxAlgo's Original)
1. **Pivot Detection**:
- Uses `ta.pivothigh()` and `ta.pivotlow()` with a user-defined lookback (`length`) to identify swing highs (PH) and lows (PL).
- Coordinates (price `y` and bar index/time `x`) are stored in persistent variables (`var`) for tracking recent pivots.
2. **Market Structure Detection**:
- **Bullish Structure (BOS/CHoCH)**: Triggers when `close > recent PH` (break above swing high).
- If `resetOn = 'CHoCH'`, resets only on major shifts (Change of Character); otherwise, on all breaks.
- Sets trend state `os = 1` (bullish) and highlights the break with a horizontal line (dashed for CHoCH, dotted for BOS).
- Initializes trailing stop at the local minimum (lowest low since the pivot) using a backward loop: `btm = math.min(low , btm)`.
- **Bearish Structure**: Triggers when `close < recent PL`, mirroring the bullish logic (`os = -1`, local maximum for stop).
- Structure state `ms` tracks the break type (1 for bull, -1 for bear, 0 neutral), resetting based on user settings.
3. **Trailing Stop Calculation**:
- Tracks **trailing max/min**:
- On new bull structure: Reset `max = close`.
- On new bear: Reset `min = close`.
- Otherwise: `max = math.max(close, max)` / `min = math.min(close, min)`.
- **Stop Adjustment** (the "trailing" magic):
- On fresh structure: `ts = btm` (bull) or `top` (bear).
- In ongoing trend: Increment/decrement by a percentage of the max/min change:
- Bull: `ts += (max - max ) * (incr / 100)`
- Bear: `ts += (min - min ) * (incr / 100)`
- This creates a **ratcheting effect**: Stops move favorably with the trend but never against it, converging toward price at a controlled rate.
- **Visuals**:
- Plots `ts` line colored by trend (teal for bull, red for bear).
- Fills area between `close` and `ts` (orange on retracements).
- Draws structure lines from pivot to break point.
4. **Edge Cases**:
- Variables like `ph_cross`/`pl_cross` prevent multiple triggers on the same pivot.
- Neutral state (`ms = 0`) preserves prior `max/min` until a new structure.
### MTF Enhancement (Our Addition)
- **request.security() Integration**:
- Wraps the entire core function `f()` in a security call for each timeframe (`tf1`, `tf2`).
- Returns HTF values (e.g., `ts1`, `os1`, structure times/prices) to the chart's context.
- Uses `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` for accurate historical repainting-free data.
- Structures are drawn using `xloc.bar_time` to align HTF lines precisely on the LTF chart.
- **Multi-Output Handling**:
- Separate plots/fills/lines for each TF (e.g., `plot_ts1`, `plot_ts2`).
- Colors and toggles per TF to distinguish HTF1 (e.g., teal/red) from HTF2 (e.g., blue/maroon).
- **Benefits**: Spot HTF bias on LTF entries, e.g., enter longs only if both TF1 (1H) and TF2 (4H) show bullish `os=1`.
This keeps the script lightweight—**no repainting, max 500 lines**, and fully compatible with LuxAlgo's original behavior when TFs are set to the chart's timeframe.
## 🔶 SETTINGS
### Core Parameters
- **Pivot Lookback** (`length = 14`): Bars left/right for pivot detection. Higher = smoother structures, fewer signals; lower = more noise.
- **Increment Factor %** (`incr = 100`): Speed of stop convergence (0-∞). 100% = full ratchet (mirrors max/min exactly); <100% = slower trail, reduces whipsaws.
- **Reset Stop On** (`'CHoCH'`): `'CHoCH'` = Reset only on major reversals (dashed lines); `'All'` = Reset on every BOS/CHoCH (tighter stops).
### MTF Support
- **Timeframe 1** (`tf1 = ""`): HTF for first set (e.g., "1H"). Empty = current chart.
- **Timeframe 2** (`tf2 = ""`): Second HTF (e.g., "4H"). Enables dual confluence.
### Display Toggles
- **Show Structures** (`true`): Draws horizontal lines for breaks (per TF colors).
- **Show Trailing Stop TF1/TF2** (`true`): Plots the stop line.
- **Show Fill TF1/TF2** (`true`): Area fill between close and stop.
### Candle Coloring (Optional)
- **Color Candles** (`false`): Enables custom `plotcandle` for body/wick/border.
- **Candle Color Based On TF** (`"None"`): `"TF1"`, `"TF2"`, or none. Colors bull trend green, bear red.
- **Candle Colors**: Separate inputs for bull/bear body, wick, border (e.g., solid green body, transparent wick).
### Alerts
- **Enable MS Break Alerts** (`false`): Notifies on structure breaks (bull/bear per TF) **only on bar close** (`barstate.isconfirmed` + `alert.freq_once_per_bar_close`).
- **Enable Stop Hit Alerts** (`false`): Triggers on stop breaches (long/short per TF), using `ta.crossunder/crossover`.
### Colors
- **TF1 Colors**: Bullish (teal), Bearish (red), Retracement (orange).
- **TF2 Colors**: Bullish (blue), Bearish (maroon), Retracement (orange).
- **Area Transparency** (`80`): Fill opacity (0-100).
## 🔶 USAGE
Trailing stops shine in **trend-following strategies**:
- **Entries**: Use structure breaks as signals (e.g., long on bullish BOS from HTF1).
- **Exits**: Trail stops for profit-locking; alert on hits for automation.
- **Confluence**: Overlay HTF1 (e.g., 1H) for bias, HTF2 (e.g., Daily) for major levels—enter LTF only on alignment.
- **Risk Management**: Lower `incr` avoids early stops in chop; reset on `'All'` for aggressive trailing.

*Colored based on TF1 trend: Green bodies on bull `os=1`.*
Pro Tip: Test on demo—pair with LuxAlgo's other tools like Smart Money Concepts for full structure ecosystem.
## 🔶 DETAILS: Mathematical Breakdown
On bullish break:
- Local min: `btm = ta.lowest(n - ph_x)` (optimized loop equivalent).
- Stop init: `ts = btm`.
- Update: `Δmax = max - max `, `ts_new = ts + Δmax * (incr/100)`.
Bearish mirrors with `Δmin` (negative, so decrements `ts`).
In MTF: HTF `time` aligns lines via `line.new(htf_time, level, current_time, level, xloc.bar_time)`.
No logs/math libs needed—pure Pine v5 efficiency.

Supertrend with ADX & MTF MA Filter# **Supertrend with ADX & MTF MA Filter - Comprehensive Explanation**
---
## **1. Purpose of This Indicator**
This indicator combines three powerful technical analysis tools to create a robust trading system:
✅ **Supertrend** (Trend-following)
✅ **ADX Filter** (Trend strength confirmation)
✅ **MTF MA Filter** (Multi-timeframe trend direction confirmation)
**Primary Goals:**
✔ **Identify high-probability trend reversals** with confirmation from multiple indicators
✔ **Filter out weak trends** using ADX (Average Directional Index)
✔ **Add higher timeframe context** with MTF (Multi-TimeFrame) Moving Average
✔ **Reduce false signals** by requiring confluence between all three components
---
## **2. Core Logic & Components**
### **A. Supertrend (Base Indicator)**
- **Calculation:**
```pine
up = hl2 - (Multiplier * ATR(Periods))
dn = hl2 + (Multiplier * ATR(Periods))
```
- **Bullish trend** when price > `up` (green line)
- **Bearish trend** when price < `dn` (red line)
- **Why Supertrend?**
- Simple yet effective trend-following system
- Adapts to volatility via ATR (Average True Range)
---
### **B. ADX Filter (Trend Strength Confirmation)**
- **ADX Calculation:**
```pine
= calcADX(adxLength, adxSmoothing)
strongTrend = adxVal >= adxThreshold
```
- **ADX > Threshold (Default: 20)** = Strong trend
- **DI+ > DI-** = Bullish momentum
- **DI- > DI+** = Bearish momentum
- **Why ADX?**
- Avoids trading in choppy markets (low ADX = weak trend)
- Confirms if Supertrend signals occur in a strong trend
---
### **C. MTF MA Filter (Higher Timeframe Trend Alignment)**
- **Moving Average Calculation:**
```pine
= getMA(maSource, maLength, maType, maTF)
```
- **MA Type:** SMA, EMA, WMA, or DEMA
- **Timeframe:** Any (1m, 5m, 1H, 4H, D, W, M)
- **Trend Direction:**
- **Buy Signal:** MA must be **rising**
- **Sell Signal:** MA must be **falling**
- **Why MTF MA?**
- Aligns trades with the **higher timeframe trend**
- Reduces counter-trend entries
---
## **3. How to Use This Indicator**
### **A. Buy Conditions (All Must Be True)**
1. **Supertrend turns bullish** (price crosses above `up` line)
2. **ADX ≥ Threshold** (trend is strong)
3. **Higher timeframe MA is rising** (confirms bullish bias)
### **B. Sell Conditions (All Must Be True)**
1. **Supertrend turns bearish** (price crosses below `dn` line)
2. **ADX ≥ Threshold** (trend is strong)
3. **Higher timeframe MA is falling** (confirms bearish bias)
### **C. Recommended Settings**
| Parameter | Recommended Value | Description |
|-----------|------------------|-------------|
| **ATR Period** | 14 | Sensitivity of Supertrend |
| **Multiplier** | 1.5-3.0 | Adjust for volatility |
| **ADX Threshold** | 20-25 | Higher = stricter trend filter |
| **MA Length** | 20-50 | Smoothness of trend filter |
| **MA Timeframe** | 1H/D | Align with trading style |
---
## **4. Trading Strategies**
### **A. Trend-Following Strategy**
- **Enter:** When all 3 conditions align (Supertrend + ADX + MA)
- **Exit:** When Supertrend flips or ADX drops below threshold
### **B. Pullback Strategy**
- **Wait for:**
- Supertrend in trend direction
- ADX remains strong
- MA still aligned
- **Enter:** On pullback to Supertrend line
### **C. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**
- **Intraday traders:** Use 4H/D MA for trend bias
- **Swing traders:** Use D/W MA for trend bias
---
## **5. Advantages Over Standard Supertrend**
✔ **Fewer false signals** (ADX filters weak trends)
✔ **Higher timeframe alignment** (avoids trading against larger trends)
✔ **Customizable MA types** (SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA)
✔ **Works on all markets** (stocks, forex, crypto)
---
### **Final Thoughts**
This indicator is designed for traders who want **high-confidence trend signals** by combining:
🔹 **Supertrend** (entry trigger)
🔹 **ADX** (trend strength filter)
🔹 **MTF MA** (higher timeframe trend alignment)
By requiring all three components to align, it significantly improves signal quality compared to standalone Supertrend systems.
**→ Best for:** Swing trading, trend-following, and avoiding choppy markets.
Dynamic Market Structure (MTF) - Dow TheoryDynamic Market Structure (MTF)
OVERVIEW
This advanced indicator provides a comprehensive and fully customizable solution for analyzing market structure based on classic Dow Theory principles. It automates the identification of key structural points, including Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH).
Going beyond simple pivot detection, this tool visualizes the flow of the trend by plotting dynamic Breaks of Structure (BOS) and potential reversals with Changes of Character (CHoCH). It is designed to be a flexible and powerful tool for traders who use price action and trend analysis as a core part of their strategy.
CORE CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on the foundational principles of Dow Theory:
Uptrend: A series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows.
Downtrend: A series of Lower Lows and Lower Highs.
Break of Structure (BOS): Occurs when price action continues the current trend by creating a new HH in an uptrend or a new LL in a downtrend.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Occurs when the established trend sequence is broken, signaling a potential reversal. For example, when a Lower Low forms after a series of Higher Highs.
CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
This section explains the indicator's underlying logic:
Pivot Detection: The indicator's core logic is based on TradingView's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions. The sensitivity of this detection is fully controlled by the user via the Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right settings.
Structure Calculation (BOS/CHoCH): The script identifies market structure by analyzing the sequence of these confirmed pivots.
A bullish BOS is plotted when a new ta.pivothigh is confirmed at a price higher than the previous confirmed ta.pivothigh.
A bearish CHoCH is plotted when a new ta.pivotlow is confirmed at a price lower than the previous confirmed ta.pivotlow , breaking the established sequence of higher lows.
The logic is mirrored for bearish BOS and bullish CHoCH.
Invalidation Levels: This feature identifies the last confirmed pivot before a structure break (e.g., the last ta.pivotlow before a bullish BOS) and plots a dotted line from it to the breakout bar. This level is considered the structural invalidation point for that move.
MTF Confirmation: This unique feature provides confluence by analyzing a second, lower timeframe. When a pivot (e.g., a Higher Low) is confirmed on the main chart, the script requests pivot data from the user-selected lower timeframe. If a corresponding trend reversal is detected on that lower timeframe (e.g., a break of its own minor downtrend), the pivot is labeled "Firm" (FHL); otherwise, it is labeled "Soft" (SHL).
KEY FEATURES
This indicator is packed with advanced features designed to provide a deeper level of market insight:
Dynamic Structure Lines: BOS and CHoCH levels are plotted with clean, dashed lines that dynamically start at the old pivot and terminate precisely at the breakout bar, keeping the chart clean and precise.
Invalidation Levels: For every structure break, the indicator can plot a dotted "Invalidation" line (INV). This marks the critical support or resistance pivot that, if broken, would negate the previous move, providing a clear reference for risk management.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmation: Add a layer of confluence to your analysis by confirming pivots on a lower timeframe. The indicator can label Higher Lows and Lower Highs as either "Firm" (FHL/FLH) if confirmed by a reversal on a lower timeframe, or "Soft" (SHL/SLH) if not.
Flexible Pivot Detection: Fully adjustable Pivot Lookback settings for the left and right sides allow you to tune the indicator's sensitivity to match any timeframe or trading style, from long-term investing to short-term scalping.
Full Customization: Take complete control of the indicator's appearance. A dedicated style menu allows you to customize the colors for all bullish, bearish, and reversal elements, including the transparency of the trend-based candle coloring.
HOW TO USE
Trend Identification: Use the sequence of HH/HL and LL/LH, along with the trend-colored candles, to quickly assess the current market direction on any timeframe.
Entry Signals: A confirmed BOS can signal a potential entry in the direction of the trend. A CHoCH can signal a potential reversal, offering an opportunity to enter a new trend early.
Risk Management: Use the automatically plotted "Invalidation" (INV) lines as a logical reference point for placing stop losses. A break of this level indicates that the structure you were trading has failed.
Confluence: Use the "Firm" pivot signals from the MTF analysis to identify high-probability swing points that are supported by price action on multiple timeframes.
SETTINGS BREAKDOWN
Pivot Lookback Left/Right: Controls the sensitivity of pivot detection. Higher numbers find more significant (but fewer) pivots.
MTF Confirmation: Enable/disable the "Firm" vs. "Soft" pivot analysis and select your preferred lower timeframe for confirmation.
Style Settings: Customize all colors and the transparency of the candle coloring to match your chart's theme.
Show Invalidation Levels: Toggle the visibility of the dotted invalidation lines.
This indicator is a powerful tool for visualizing and trading with the trend. Experiment with the settings to find a configuration that best fits your personal trading strategy.

This version adds MTF awareness, showing spikes from 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute frames on a single chart. It’s ideal for traders monitoring microstructure shifts across multiple time compressions while staying on a fast chart (like 1-second or 1-minute).
Key Features
Dual Session Windows (DST-aware)
Automatically tracks Morning (05:30–08:30 MT) and Midday (11:00–13:30 MT) activity, adjusted for daylight savings.
Directional Spike Detection
Flags Buy spikes (green triangles) and Sell spikes (magenta triangles) using dynamic volume gates, Z-Score normalization, and recent-bar jump filters.
Multi-Timeframe Projection
Displays higher-timeframe (1m / 5m / 10m) spikes directly on your active chart for continuous visual context — even on sub-minute intervals.
Adaptive Volume Logic
Each spike is validated against:
Volume ≥ SMA × multiplier
Volume ≥ recent-high × jump factor
Optional Z-Score threshold for statistical significance
Session-Only Filtering
Ensures spikes are only plotted within specified trading sessions — ideal for futures or intraday equity traders.
Configurable Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
Any timeframe (MTF aggregate)
Individual 1m, 5m, or 10m windows
Alerts trigger only when a new qualifying spike appears at the close of its bar.
Use Cases
Detect algorithmic or institutional activity bursts inside your trading window.
Track confluence of volume surges across multiple timeframes.
Combine with FVGs, bank levels, or range breakouts to identify probable continuation or reversal zones.
Build custom automation or alert workflows around statistically unusual participation spikes.
Recommended Settings
Use on 1-minute chart for full MTF display.
Adjust the SMA length (default 20) and Z-Score threshold (default 3.0) to suit market volatility.
For scalping or high-frequency environments, disable the 10m layer to reduce visual clutter.
