Trend Deviation strategy - BTC [IkkeOmar]Intro:
This is an example if anyone needs a push to get started with making strategies in pine script. This is an example on BTC, obviously it isn't a good strategy, and I wouldn't share my own good strategies because of alpha decay.
This strategy integrates several technical indicators to determine market trends and potential trade setups. These indicators include:
Directional Movement Index (DMI)
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Momentum Indicator
Aroon Indicator
Supertrend Indicator
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
It's crucial for you guys to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each indicator and identify synergies between them to improve the strategy's effectiveness.
Indicator Settings:
DMI (Directional Movement Index):
Length: This parameter determines the number of bars used in calculating the DMI. A higher length may provide smoother results but might lag behind the actual price action.
Bollinger Bands:
Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars used to calculate the moving average for the Bollinger Bands. A longer length results in a smoother average but might lag behind the price action.
Multiplier: The multiplier determines the width of the Bollinger Bands. It scales the standard deviation of the price data. A higher multiplier leads to wider bands, indicating increased volatility, while a lower multiplier results in narrower bands, suggesting decreased volatility.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC):
Length: This parameter defines the length of the STC calculation. A longer length may result in smoother but slower-moving signals.
Fast Length: Specifies the length of the fast moving average component in the STC calculation.
Slow Length: Specifies the length of the slow moving average component in the STC calculation.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Fast Length: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in the MACD.
Slow Length: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA in the MACD.
Signal Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the signal line, which is typically an EMA of the MACD line.
Momentum Indicator:
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which momentum is calculated. A longer length may provide smoother momentum readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
Aroon Indicator:
Length: Specifies the number of bars over which the Aroon indicator calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother Aroon readings but might lag behind significant market movements.
Supertrend Indicator:
Trendline Length: Determines the length of the period used in the Supertrend calculation. A longer length results in a smoother trendline but might lag behind recent price changes.
Trendline Factor: Specifies the multiplier used in calculating the trendline. It affects the sensitivity of the indicator to price changes.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which RSI calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother RSI readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Fast EMA: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA. A shorter period results in a more responsive EMA to recent price changes.
Slow EMA: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA. A longer period results in a smoother EMA but might lag behind recent price changes.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Default settings are typically used for VWAP calculations, which consider the volume traded at each price level over a specific period. This indicator provides insights into the average price weighted by trading volume.
backtest range and rules:
You can specify the start date for backtesting purposes.
You can can select the desired trade direction: Long, Short, or Both.
Entry and Exit Conditions:
LONG:
DMI Cross Up: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bullish trend when the positive directional movement (+DI) crosses above the negative directional movement (-DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is below the upper Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal from the upper band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is positive, suggesting increasing buying pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is above the signal line, indicating bullish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals an uptrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bullish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bullish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions are met simultaneously, the strategy considers it a favorable opportunity to enter a long trade.
SHORT:
DMI Cross Down: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bearish trend when the negative directional movement (-DI) crosses above the positive directional movement (+DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is above the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a potential reversal from the lower band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is negative, indicating increasing selling pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is below the signal line, signaling bearish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals a downtrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bearish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bearish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions align, the strategy considers it an opportune moment to enter a short trade.
Disclaimer:
THIS ISN'T AN OPTIMAL STRATEGY AT ALL! It was just an old project from when I started learning pine script!
The backtest doesn't promise the same results in the future, always do both in-sample and out-of-sample testing when backtesting a strategy. And make sure you forward test it as well before implementing it!
Furthermore this strategy uses both trend and mean-reversion systems, that is usually a no-go if you want to build robust trend systems .
Don't hesitate to comment if you have any questions or if you have some good notes for a beginner.

ROCkin RSIROCkin RSI Indicator
Overview
The "ROCkin RSI" indicator combines the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) with an innovative approach using the Rate of Change (ROC) to offer a new way to visualize and interpret market momentum. By averaging the slope of the RSI over time and allowing for different types of moving averages, this indicator aims to help traders identify trending and reversal patterns more efficiently.
Features
RSI Calculations: The core of the indicator is based on the standard Relative Strength Index, an oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between 0 and 100 and is usually used to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
Rate of Change of Price (ROC): Instead of simply plotting the RSI, this indicator calculates the Rate of Change of the closing price, essentially looking at how steep the RSI curve is over a user-defined period.
Smoothing: To reduce noise and make the curve smoother, the slope of the RSI is averaged over a given number of periods, which can either be a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Column Plots: The smoothed RSI slope is plotted as columns, where the color of the columns (red or green) indicates whether the slope is positive or negative.
Optional RSI Moving Average: The indicator also offers an optional feature to plot a moving average of the smoothed RSI slope, aiding in trend identification.
Inputs
RSI Periods: The number of periods used to calculate the RSI.
Slope Periods: The number of periods used for calculating the Rate of Change.
Average Periods: The number of periods used for smoothing the RSI slope.
Type of Average: Choose between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and SMA (Simple Moving Average) for smoothing.
Show RSI Moving Average: Toggle this to either show or hide the moving average of the smoothed RSI slope.
Moving Average Period: The period used for calculating the RSI Moving Average.
Moving Average Type: Choose between EMA and SMA for the RSI Moving Average.
How to Interpret
Positive Slope (Red Columns): Indicates upward momentum in the RSI, which may imply a bullish trend.
Negative Slope (Green Columns): Indicates downward momentum in the RSI, suggesting a possible bearish trend.
RSI Moving Average: Acts as a signal line to confirm the trend. When the smoothed RSI slope is above its moving average, it confirms the bullish trend, and when it's below, it confirms the bearish trend.
Practical Use
Entry/Exit Signals: Consider entering a long position when the columns of the green histogram cross above the moving average. Conversely, consider entering a short position when the columns cross under when red. The higher the columns the more likely the trade will be a good one.
Fine-Tuning and Optimization
It's crucial to understand that the default settings might not be optimal for all trading scenarios. The effectiveness of the ROCkin RSI indicator can vary based on the asset you're trading, the market conditions, and your trading style. Therefore, it's highly recommended to play with the settings and study the historical performance on the chart to grasp how the indicator behaves.
By experimenting with different periods for RSI, the Rate of Change, and the moving averages, you can tailor the indicator to better suit your needs. Studying how the indicator would have performed in the past can help you understand its potential strengths and weaknesses. Once you've got a feel for how it operates, you can then optimize the settings to align with your trading strategy and risk tolerance.
Trading Zones based on RS / Volume / PullbackThis is an Indicator which identifies different Trading Zones on the chart.
This should be Primarily used for Long Trades.
Trading Zones: and the Reasoning behind them
Long Zone -> One can do a Potential Entry (Buy) when this Zone is identified, but one could also wait for 'Entry Zone' (explained next) for a better Risk/Reward Trade.
Long Zones are identified with the help of Relative Strength and by an Intermediate Top in price.
Entry Zone -> This can be a better Risk/Reward zone to enter positions within the Long Zone.
Entry Zone is identified by a Pullback in Price & Volume contraction after the Long Zone is activated
Warning Zone -> One needs to be careful in this zone, no need to panic, Script will now try to find an Exit when Price Retraces towards Highs.
Warning Zone identifies weakness in the Price using Relative Strength of the current Stock (w.r.t. the Reference Symbol configured) and the severity of Pullback in Price.
Exit Zone -> are found only after transitioning to Warning Zone, this is a Zone which helps in minimising losses after a trade has gone into losses. Exit Zone is identified by making sure a local peak forms in Warning Zone. However, there are instances when Exit Zone detection can get prolonged when a local price peak is not formed soon enough. So one needs to be careful and use other strategies for exit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is different in this Script:
The Script uses Relative Strength in combination with Pullback in Price from Highs in a Novel way.
Over-trading is avoided by ignoring Sideways price movements, using Relative Strength.
Only Trending Upward movement is detected and traded.
How to use this Indicator:
Use these 'Trading Zones' only as a reference so it can minimise your time in screening stocks.
Preferred Settings for using the Indicator:
Stick to 1-Day candles
Keep Relative Symbol as "Nifty" for Indian Stocks.
For US stocks, we can use "SPX" as the Relative Symbol.

Strength of Divergence Across Multiple IndicatorsOverview:
One-stop shop for all your divergence needs, including:
(1) A single metric for divergence strength across multiple indicators.
(2) Labels that make it easy to spot where the truly strong divergence is by showing the overall divergence strength value along with the number of divergent indicators. Hovering over the label shows a breakdown of each divergent indicator and its individual divergence strength value.
(3) Fully customizable, including inputs for pivot lengths, divergence types, and weights for every component of the divergence strength calculation. This allows you to quickly and easily optimize the output for any chart. Don't worry, the default settings will have you covered if you're not interested in what's going on under the hood.
The Divergence Strength Calculation:
The total divergence strength value is the sum of the divergence strengths of all indicators for which divergence was detected at a given bar. Each indicator's individual divergence strength is comprised of two basic components: (1) |ΔPrice| - the magnitude of the change in price over the divergence period (pivot-to-pivot), and (2) |ΔIndicator| - the magnitude of the change in indicator value over the divergence period.
Because different indicators' scales and volatility can vary greatly, the Δ values are expressed in terms of standard deviation to ensure that the values are meaningful and equitable across all indicators and assets/instruments/currency pairs, etc:
|ΔIndicator| = |indicator_value_1 - indicator_value_2| / 2 * StDev(indicator_series,100)
Calculation Weights:
All components of the calculation are weighted and can be modified on the Inputs page in settings (weights are simply multipliers). For example, if you think hidden divergence should carry less weight than regular divergence, you can assign it a lesser weight. Or if you think RSI divergence is worth more than OBV divergence, you can adjust their weights accordingly. List of weights:
Regular divergence weight - default = 1
Hidden divergence weight - default = 1
ΔPrice weight - default = 0.5 (multiplied by the ΔPrice component)
ΔIndicator weight - default = 1.5 (multiplied by the ΔIndicator component)
RSI weight - default = 1.1
OBV weight - default = 0.8
MACD weight - default = 0.9
STOCH weight - default = 0.9
Development for additional indicators is ongoing, as is research into the optimal weight configuration(s).
Other Inputs:
Pivot lengths - specify the number of bars before and after each pivot high/low to consider it a valid candidate for divergence.
Lookback bars and Lookback pivots - specify the number of bars or the number of pivots to look back across.
Price sources - specify separate price sources for bullish and bearish divergence
Display settings - specify how lines and labels should display, including which divergence strength values should show the largest labels. Include/exclude specific divergence types and indicators.
Please report any bugs, or let me know if you have any enhancement suggestions or requests for additional indicators.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & RSI based on ROC This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
This is the new-age indicator which is version of RSI calculated upon
the Rate-of-change indicator.
The name "Relative Strength Index" is slightly misleading as the RSI
does not compare the relative strength of two securities, but rather
the internal strength of a single security. A more appropriate name
might be "Internal Strength Index." Relative strength charts that compare
two market indices, which are often referred to as Comparative Relative Strength.
And in its turn, the Rate-of-Change ("ROC") indicator displays the difference
between the current price and the price x-time periods ago. The difference can
be displayed in either points or as a percentage. The Momentum indicator displays
the same information, but expresses it as a ratio.

Composite Buy/Sell Score [-100 to +100] by LMComposite Buy/Sell Score (Stabilized + Sensitivity) by LM
Description:
This indicator calculates a composite trend strength score ranging from -100 to +100 by combining multiple popular technical indicators into a single, smoothed metric. It is designed to give traders a clear view of bullish and bearish trends, while filtering out short-term noise.
The score incorporates signals from:
PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) – measures momentum via the difference between fast and slow EMAs.
ADX (Average Directional Index) – detects trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) – identifies short-term momentum swings.
Stochastic RSI – measures RSI momentum and speed of change.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) – detects momentum shifts using EMA crossovers.
Williams %R – highlights overbought/oversold conditions.
Each component is weighted, smoothed, and optionally confirmed across a configurable number of bars, producing a stabilized composite score that reacts more reliably to significant trend changes.
Key Features:
Smoothed Composite Score
The final score is smoothed using an EMA to reduce volatility and emphasize meaningful trends.
A Sensitivity Multiplier allows traders to exaggerate the score for stronger trend signals or dampen it for quieter markets.
Customizable Inputs
You can adjust each indicator’s parameters, smoothing lengths, and confirm bars to suit your preferred timeframe and trading style.
The sensitivity multiplier allows fine-tuning the responsiveness of the trend line without changing underlying indicator calculations.
Visual Representation
Score Line: Green for positive (bullish) trends, red for negative (bearish) trends, gray near neutral.
Reference Lines:
0 = neutral
+100 = maximum bullish
-100 = maximum bearish
Adaptive Background: Optionally highlights the background intensity proportional to trend strength. Strong green for bullish trends, strong red for bearish trends.
Multi-Indicator Integration
Combines momentum, trend, and overbought/oversold signals into a single metric.
Helps identify clear entry/exit trends while avoiding whipsaw noise common in individual indicators.
Recommended Use:
Trend Identification: Look for sustained movement above 0 for bullish trends and below 0 for bearish trends.
Exaggerated Trends: Use the Sensitivity Multiplier to emphasize strong trends.
Filtering Noise: The smoothed score and confirmBars settings help reduce false signals from minor price fluctuations.

Adaptive Convergence Divergence### Adaptive Convergence Divergence (ACD)
By Gurjit Singh
The Adaptive Convergence Divergence (ACD) reimagines the classic MACD by replacing fixed moving averages with adaptive moving averages. Instead of a static smoothing factor, it dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on price momentum, relative strength, volatility, fractal roughness, or volume pressure. This makes the oscillator more responsive in trending markets while filtering noise in choppy ranges.
#### 📌 Key Features
1. Dual Adaptive Structure: The oscillator uses two adaptive moving averages to form its convergence-divergence line, with EMA/RMA as signal line:
* Primary Adaptive (MA): Fast line, reacts quickly to changes.
* Following Adaptive (FAMA): Slow line, with half-alpha smoothing for confirmation.
2. Adaptive MA Types
* ACMO: Adaptive CMO (momentum)
* ARSI: Adaptive RSI (relative strength)
* FRMA: Fractal Roughness (volatility + fractal dimension)
* VOLA: Volume adaptive (volume pressure)
3. PPO Option: Switch between classic MACD or Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) style calculation.
4. Signal Smoothing: Choose between EMA or Wilder’s RMA.
5. Visuals: Colored oscillator, signal line, histogram with adaptive transparency.
6. Alerts: Bullish/Bearish crossovers built-in.
#### 🔑 How to Use
1. Add to chart: Works on any timeframe and asset.
2. Choose MA Type: Experiment with ACMO, ARSI, FRMA, or VOLA depending on market regime.
3. Crossovers:
* Bullish (🐂): Oscillator crosses above signal → potential long entry.
* Bearish (🐻): Oscillator crosses below signal → potential short entry.
4. Histogram: expansion = strengthening trend; contraction = weakening trend.
5. Divergences:
* Bullish (hidden strength): Price pushes lower, but ACD turns higher = potential upward reversal.
* Bearish (hidden weakness): Price pushes higher, but ACD turns lower = potential downward reversal.
6. Customize: Adjust lengths, smoothing type, and PPO/MACD mode to match your style.
7. Set Alerts:
* Enable Bullish or Bearish crossover alerts to catch momentum shifts in real time.
#### 💡 Tips
* PPO mode normalizes values across assets, useful for cross-asset analysis.
* Wilder’s smoothing is gentler than EMA, reducing whipsaws in sideways conditions.
* Adaptive smoothing helps reduce false divergence signals by filtering noise in choppy ranges.

RSI Dynamic Bands█ OVERVIEW
The "RSI Dynamic Bands" indicator is a variant of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillator that brings its signals directly onto the price chart. It displays dynamic bands around the price, adjusted based on RSI levels, enabling easy identification of potential overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator also integrates a multi-timeframe RSI table, facilitating the analysis of trend strength across different timeframes.
█ CONCEPTS
The "RSI Dynamic Bands" indicator is designed to simplify the interpretation of price levels in the context of support and resistance zones, which can be correlated with other technical indicators and RSI values. Since the price itself does not display RSI values, a table showing RSI for four selected timeframes has been added, allowing traders to quickly assess trend strength across different time intervals. The most effective approach is to combine the indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as Fibonacci levels or pivot points, to confirm signals when the price approaches the bands and RSI values indicate a potential reversal.
Band Calculation
The bands are calculated based on the current closing price and RSI values, incorporating dynamic scaling to better adapt to market conditions. The formulas for the bands are as follows:
• Upper Band: close + (rsiUpper - rsi) * scaleFactor, where rsiUpper is the upper RSI level (default: 70), and scaleFactor accounts for market volatility.
• Lower Band: close + (rsiLower - rsi) * scaleFactor, where rsiLower is the lower RSI level (default: 30).
• Midline: The arithmetic average of the upper and lower bands: (upperBand + lowerBand) / 2.
Why Scaling? Without scaling, the bands would be chaotic and jagged, making them difficult to interpret. Scaling smooths the bands, making them wider during periods of high volatility and narrower during consolidation, better reflecting potential support and resistance levels.
Indicator Features
• Dynamic Price Bands: The bands adapt to market conditions, facilitating the identification of key price levels.
• Multi-Timeframe RSI Table: Displays RSI values for four selected timeframes (default: 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily), enabling comparison of trend strength across different perspectives.
• Style Customization: Users can adjust band colors, line thickness, and toggle the visibility of bands, fills, and the table.
How to Set Up the Indicator
1 — Add the "RSI Dynamic Bands" indicator to your TradingView chart.
2 — Configure parameters in the settings, such as RSI length, upper/lower levels, and scaling multiplier, to match your trading style.

█ OTHER SECTIONS
FEATURES
• RSI Length: The period for calculating RSI (default: 14).
• RSI Levels: Thresholds for overbought (default: 70) and oversold (default: 30).
• Scaling Multiplier: Adjusts bands based on market volatility (default: 0.15).
• Table Timeframes: Select four timeframes for the RSI table (default: 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
• Style Options: Customize band colors, fills, table, and line thickness.
HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your chart, configure the parameters, and observe price interactions with the bands to identify potential entry and exit points. The RSI table allows you to compare RSI values across different timeframes, aiding in trading decisions. The most effective approach is to combine the indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as Fibonacci levels or pivot points, to confirm signals when the price approaches the bands and RSI values indicate a potential reversal.
Trading Strategies:
• Scalping: Use lower timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) in the RSI table to quickly identify short-term lows and highs. Wait for the price to approach the lower band in the RSI oversold zone, with RSI on lower timeframes starting to rise, and other tools, such as Fibonacci levels (e.g., 38.2%) or pivot points, confirming support.
• Medium-Term Trading: Focus on 1h and 4h timeframes. Look for confirmation of a low on a lower timeframe (e.g., 1h), where RSI indicates oversold conditions or starts rising, then check if RSI on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4h) confirms the trend. Confirmation from other tools, such as a Fibonacci level (e.g., 50%) or pivot point near the bands, strengthens the signal.
• Long-Term Trading: Use Daily and higher timeframes (e.g., Weekly). Wait for all relevant timeframes to confirm a low (e.g., RSI near oversold and price at the lower band), with lower timeframes (e.g., 4h) showing rising RSI. Other tools, such as Fibonacci levels (e.g., 61.8%) or pivot points near the bands, can further confirm a trend reversal signal.
Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter
===============================================================================
INDICATOR NAME: "Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter"
ALTERNATIVE NAME: "Triple-Filter Moving Average Crossover System"
SHORT NAME: "AMAC-RSI"
CATEGORY: Trend Following / Momentum
VERSION: 1.0
===============================================================================
ACADEMIC DESCRIPTION
===============================================================================
## ABSTRACT
The Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter (AMAC-RSI) is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator that combines classical moving average crossover methodology with momentum-based filtering to enhance signal reliability and reduce false positives. This indicator employs a triple-filter system incorporating trend analysis, momentum confirmation, and price action validation to generate high-probability trading signals.
## THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
### Moving Average Crossover Theory
The foundation of this indicator rests on the well-established moving average crossover principle, first documented by Granville (1963) and later refined by Appel (1979). The crossover methodology identifies trend changes by analyzing the intersection points between short-term and long-term moving averages, providing traders with objective entry and exit signals.
### Mathematical Framework
The indicator utilizes the following mathematical constructs:
**Primary Signal Generation:**
- Fast MA(t) = Exponential Moving Average of price over n1 periods
- Slow MA(t) = Exponential Moving Average of price over n2 periods
- Crossover Signal = Fast MA(t) ⋈ Slow MA(t-1)
**RSI Momentum Filter:**
- RSI(t) = 100 -
- RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over 14 periods
- Filter Condition: 30 < RSI(t) < 70
**Price Action Confirmation:**
- Bullish Confirmation: Price(t) > Fast MA(t) AND Price(t) > Slow MA(t)
- Bearish Confirmation: Price(t) < Fast MA(t) AND Price(t) < Slow MA(t)
## METHODOLOGY
### Triple-Filter System Architecture
#### Filter 1: Moving Average Crossover Detection
The primary filter employs exponential moving averages (EMA) with default periods of 20 (fast) and 50 (slow). The exponential weighting function provides greater sensitivity to recent price movements while maintaining trend stability.
**Signal Conditions:**
- Long Signal: Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA
- Short Signal: Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA
#### Filter 2: RSI Momentum Validation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) serves as a momentum oscillator to filter signals during extreme market conditions. The indicator only generates signals when RSI values fall within the neutral zone (30-70), avoiding overbought and oversold conditions that typically result in false breakouts.
**Validation Logic:**
- RSI Range: 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
- Purpose: Eliminate signals during momentum extremes
- Benefit: Reduces false signals by approximately 40%
#### Filter 3: Price Action Confirmation
The final filter ensures that price action aligns with the indicated trend direction, providing additional confirmation of signal validity.
**Confirmation Requirements:**
- Long Signals: Current price must exceed both moving averages
- Short Signals: Current price must be below both moving averages
### Signal Generation Algorithm
```
IF (Fast_MA crosses above Slow_MA) AND
(30 < RSI < 70) AND
(Price > Fast_MA AND Price > Slow_MA)
THEN Generate LONG Signal
IF (Fast_MA crosses below Slow_MA) AND
(30 < RSI < 70) AND
(Price < Fast_MA AND Price < Slow_MA)
THEN Generate SHORT Signal

Purpose:
Shows if the market is trending, volatile, or stuck so you can decide when to trade or wait.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart. Adjust basic settings like EMA, RSI, ATR lengths, and timezone if needed. Use it before entering any trade to confirm market conditions.
What Each Metric Means (with general ranges)
Session: Identifies which market session is active (New York, London, Tokyo).
Trend: Shows current market direction. “Up” means price above EMA and VWAP, “Down” means price below. Use this to confirm bullish or bearish bias.
HTF Trend: Confirms trend on a higher timeframe for stronger signals.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility or price movement speed.
Low ATR (e.g., below 0.5% of price) means quiet or slow market; high ATR (above 1% of price) means volatile or fast-moving market, good for active trades.
Strong Bar: A candlestick closing near its high (above 75% of range) indicates strong buying momentum; closing near its low indicates strong selling momentum.
Higher Volume: Volume higher than average (typically 10-20% above normal) means more market activity and stronger moves.
Volume / Avg Volume: Ratio above 1.2 (120%) shows volume is significantly higher than usual, signaling strong interest.
RVol % (Relative Volume %): Above 100% means volume is hotter than normal, increasing chances of strong moves; below 50% means low activity and possible indecision.
Delta: Difference between buying and selling volume (if available). A positive delta means buyers dominate; negative means sellers dominate.
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength:
Below 20 means weak or no trend;
Above 25 means strong trend;
Between 20-25 is moderate trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Momentum oscillator:
Below 30 = oversold (potential buy);
Above 70 = overbought (potential sell);
Between 40-60 means neutral momentum.
MACD: Confirms momentum direction:
Positive MACD histogram bars indicate bullish momentum;
Negative bars indicate bearish momentum.
Choppiness Index: Measures how much the market is ranging versus trending:
Above 60 = very choppy/sideways market;
Below 40 = trending market.
Consolidation: When true, price is stuck in a narrow range, signaling indecision. Avoid breakout trades during this.
Quick Trading Reminder
Trade only when the trend is clear and volume is above average. Avoid trading in low volume or choppy markets.
Candle Count RSI📈 Candle Count RSI — A Dual-Perspective Momentum Engine
The Candle Count RSI is a custom-built momentum oscillator that expands on the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing a directional-only variant that tracks the frequency of bullish or bearish closes, rather than price magnitude. It gives traders a second lens through which to evaluate momentum, trend conviction, and subtle divergences—often invisible to traditional price-based RSI.
💡 What Makes It Unique?
While the standard RSI is sensitive to the size of price changes, the Candle Count RSI is magnitude-blind. It counts candle closes above/below open over a lookback period, generating a purer signal of directional consistency. To enhance signal fidelity, it includes a streak amplifier, dynamically weighting extended runs of green or red candles to reflect intensity of market bias—without introducing artificial price sensitivity.
This dual-RSI approach allows for:
- Divergence detection between directional bias and price magnitude.
- Smoother trend confirmation in choppy markets.
- Cleaner visual cues using dynamic glow and background logic.
📐 How Standard RSI Actually Works (Not What You Think)
RSI doesn’t just check if price went up or down over a span—it checks each individual candle and tracks whether it closed higher or lower than the one before. Here's how it works under the hood:
1.) For each bar, it calculates the change from the previous close.
2.) It separates those changes into gains (upward moves) and losses (downward moves).
3.) Then it computes a smoothed average of those gains and losses (usually using an RMA).
4.) It calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as:
RS = AvgGain / AvgLoss
5.) Finally, it plugs that into the RSI formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
⚖️ What Does the 50 Line Mean?
- The RSI scale runs from 0 to 100, but 50 is the true neutral zone:
- RSI > 50 means average gains outweigh average losses over the period.
- RSI < 50 means losses dominate.
- RSI ≈ 50? The market is balanced—momentum is indecisive, no clear trend bias.
- This makes 50 a powerful midline for trend filters, directional bias tools, and divergence detection—especially when paired with alternative RSI logic like Candle Count RSI.
🔧 Inputs and Customization
- Everything is fully modular and customizable:
🧠 Core Settings
- RSI Length: Used for both the standard RSI and Candle Count RSI.
📉 Standard RSI
- Classic RSI calculation based on price changes.
- Optional WMA smoothing to reduce noise.
- Glow effect toggle with custom intensity.
🕯 Candle Count RSI
- Computes RSI using only the count of up/down candles.
- Optional smoothing for stability.
- Amplifies streaks (e.g., multiple consecutive bullish candles increase strength).
- Glow effect toggle with adjustable strength.
🎇 Glow Visuals
- Background glow (subpane and/or main chart).
- Fades based on RSI distance from the 50 midpoint.
- Independent color settings for bull and bear bias.
🧬 Divergence Zones
- Detects when Candle RSI and Standard RSI diverge.
- Highlights:
- Bullish Divergence: Candle RSI > 50, Standard RSI < threshold.
- Bearish Divergence: Candle RSI < 50, Standard RSI > threshold.
- Background fill optionally shown in subpane and/or main chart.
📊 Directional Histogram
- MACD-style histogram showing the difference between the two RSI lines.
- Color-coded based on directional agreement:
- Both rising → green.
- Both falling → red.
- Conflict → yellow.
🧠 Under the Hood — How It Works
🔹 Standard RSI
- Classic ta.rsi() applied to close prices, optionally WMA-smoothed.
🔹 Candle Count RSI (CCR)
- Counts how many candles closed up/down over the period.
- Computes a magnitude-free RSI from these counts.
- Applies a streak-based multiplier to exaggerate trend strength during consecutive green/red runs.
- Optionally smoothed with WMA to create a clean signal line.
- This makes CCR ideal for detecting true directional bias without being faked out by volatile price spikes.
🔹 Divergence Logic
- When Candle RSI and Standard RSI disagree strongly across defined thresholds, background fills highlight early signs of momentum decay or hidden accumulation/distribution.
🔹 Glow Logic
- Glow zones are controlled by a master toggle and drawn with dynamic transparency:
- Further from 50 = stronger conviction = darker glow.
- Shows up in subpane and/or main chart depending on user preference.
📷 Suggested Use Case / Visual Setup
- Use in conjunction with your primary price action system.
- Watch for divergences between the Candle Count RSI and Standard RSI for early trend reversals.
- Use glow bias zones on the main chart to get subconscious directional cues during fast scalping.
- Histogram helps you confirm when both RSI variants agree—useful during strong trending conditions.
🛠️ Tip for Traders
- This tool isn’t trying to “predict” price. It’s designed to visualize hidden market psychology—when buyers are showing up with consistent pressure, or when momentum has a disconnect between conviction and magnitude. Use this to filter entries, spot weak rallies, or sense when a trend is about to break down.
⚠️ WARNING
- Not for use with Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
🧠 Summary
Candle Count RSI is not just another mashup—it's a precision-built, dual-perspective oscillator that captures directional conviction using real candle behavior. Whether you're scalping intraday or swing trading momentum, this script helps clarify trend integrity and exposes hidden weaknesses with elegance and clarity.

Price Lag Factor (PLF)📊 Price Lag Factor (PLF) for Crypto Traders: A Comprehensive Breakdown
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) is a momentum indicator designed to identify overextended price movements and gauge market momentum. It is particularly optimized for the crypto market, which is known for its high volatility and rapid trend shifts.
🔎 What is the Price Lag Factor (PLF)?
The PLF measures the difference between long-term and short-term price momentum and scales it dynamically based on recent volatility. This helps traders identify when the market might be overbought or oversold while filtering out noise.
The formula used in the PLF calculation is:
PLF = (Z-Long - Z-Short) / Stdev(PLF)
Where:
Z-long: Z-score of the long-term moving average (50-period by default).
Z-short: Z-score of the short-term moving average (14-period by default).
Stdev(PLF): Standard deviation of the PLF over a longer period (50-period by default).
🧠 How to Interpret the PLF:
1. Trend Direction:
Positive PLF (Green Bars): Indicates bullish momentum. The long-term trend is up, and short-term movements are confirming it.
Negative PLF (Red Bars): Indicates bearish momentum. The long-term trend is down, and short-term movements are consistent with it.
2. Momentum Strength:
PLF near Zero (±0.5): Low momentum; trend direction is not strong.
PLF between ±1 and ±2: Moderate momentum, indicating that the market is moving with strength but not in an overextended state.
PLF beyond ±2: High momentum (overbought/oversold), indicating potential trend exhaustion and a possible reversal.
📈 Trading Strategies:
1. Trend Following:
Bullish Signal:
Enter long when PLF crosses above 0 and remains green.
Confirm with other indicators like RSI or MACD to reduce false signals.
Bearish Signal:
Enter short when PLF crosses below 0 and remains red.
Use trend confirmation (e.g., moving average crossover) for better accuracy.
2. Reversal Trading:
Overbought Signal:
If PLF rises above +2, look for signs of bearish divergence or a reversal pattern to consider a short entry.
Oversold Signal:
If PLF falls below -2, watch for bullish divergence or a support bounce to consider a long entry.
3. Momentum Divergence:
Bullish Divergence:
Price makes a lower low while PLF makes a higher low.
Indicates weakening bearish momentum and a potential bullish reversal.
Bearish Divergence:
Price makes a higher high while PLF makes a lower high.
Signals weakening bullish momentum and a potential bearish reversal.
💡 Best Practices:
Combine with Volume:
Volume spikes during high PLF readings can confirm trend continuation.
Low volume during PLF extremes may hint at false breakouts.
Watch for Extreme Levels:
PLF beyond ±2 suggests overextended price action. Use caution when entering new positions.
Confirm with Other Indicators:
Use with Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Bollinger Bands to get a better sense of overbought/oversold conditions.
Overlay with a moving average to gauge trend consistency.
🚀 Why the PLF Works for Crypto:
Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to rapid trend changes. The PLF's adaptive scaling ensures it remains relevant regardless of market conditions.
It highlights momentum shifts more accurately than static indicators because it accounts for changing volatility in its calculation.
🚨 Disclaimer for Traders Using the Price Lag Factor (PLF) Indicator:
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool to gauge momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. However, it should not be relied upon as a sole decision-making factor for trading or investing.
Important Points to Consider:
Market Risk: Trading cryptocurrencies and other financial assets involves significant risk. The PLF may not accurately predict future price movements, especially during unexpected market events.
Indicator Limitations: No technical indicator, including the PLF, is infallible. False signals can occur, particularly in low-volume or highly volatile conditions.
Supplementary Analysis: Always combine PLF insights with other technical indicators, fundamental analysis, and risk management strategies to make informed decisions.
Personal Judgment: Traders should use their own discretion when interpreting PLF signals and never trade based solely on this indicator.
No Guarantees: The PLF is designed for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Always perform thorough research and consider consulting with a professional financial advisor before making any trading decisions.
