Pulse Profiler [QuantraSystems]Pulse Profiler
Introduction
The Pulse Profiler ( ℙℙ ) is specifically designed to unambiguously indicate weakening momentum after a strong impulse. The upper and lower standard deviation bands also allow the user to assess the strength of an impulse and differentiate it from general noise.
Due to the ℙℙ ’s rapid responsiveness to exhaustion in price movement it is ideally used for the trader to recognize when to start taking profit when combined with other indicators.
The novum is that by dynamically balancing its sensitivity to recent movements the ℙℙ considers the asset’s inherent volatility. By reducing noise without sacrificing signal, and by visualizing it in our typical modern QuantraAI style, the ℙℙ enhances the traders’ ability to distinguish impulses with weakening momentum from strong trending movements.
Legend
Impulse: The ℙℙ showing strength based on momentum and volume.
Dynamic standard deviation bands: Rolling probability based bands based on a rolling normal distribution. Adjustable, recommended are σ = 1.5 to σ = 2.5.
Neutral lines: Dynamic thresholds which get often respected as support or resistance.
Case Study
To properly employ the ℙℙ , the trader should use it to identify out-of-the-ordinary 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓼 which cause a following exhaustion.
The rolling standard deviation bands incorporate the asset’s historical behavior in regards to its inherent volatility on a rolling basis. If the asset shows strong 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓼 that go beyond the rolling standard deviation, the event has been highly improbable. The trader then needs to determine if the price change was caused by critical external factors. If not, it is highly probable that the momentum exhausts and that price movement plateaus to enter a range.
These signals indicate that it is highly probable that closing a position upon these conditions is the correct choice.
If the 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮 reverses and retraces into the opposite direction, while moving more than 1.5σ across just 3 bars on the 4H chart, the signal indicates that a reversal is pushing the price down – in both momentum and volume.
A sharp reversal thus becomes more probable than not.
The ℙℙ can also be calibrated to find possible trend exhaustions on a longer timeframe (1D).
Please always use multiple Quantra indicators to add confirmations to your signals.

Notes
Quantra Standard Value Contents:
The Heikin-Ashi (HA) candle visualization smoothes out the signal line to provide more informative insights into momentum and trends. This allows earlier entries and exits by observing the indicator values transformed by the HA.
Various visualization options are available to adjust the indicator to the user’s preference: Aside from HA, a classic line, or a hybrid of both.
A special feature of Quantra’s indicators is that they are probabilistically built - therefore they work well as confluence and can easily be stacked to increase signal accuracy.
To add to Quantra's indicators’ utility we have added the option to change the price bars colors based on different signals:
Choose Mode for Coloring
Trend Following (Indicator above mid line counts as uptrend, below is downtrend)
Extremes (Everything beyond the SD bands is highlighted to signal mean reversion)
Candles (Color of HA candles as barcolor)
Reversions (Only for HA) (Reversion Signals via the triangles if HA candles change trend while beyond the SD bands, high probability entries/exits)
The ℙℙ is also sensitive to divergences for those interested in utilizing this feature.
Through a special combination of price, volume and momentum you get a holistic overview on the impulse strengths of movements.
The two neutral lines in the center act as dynamic, volume and volatility adjusted thresholds. Often the signal line respects them as support and resistance.
The upper and lower standard deviation lines express the rarity of an impulse based on the asset’s inherent volatility.
The indicator needs a long enough timespan to build up its probability estimation, therefore the asset needs sufficient price history.
The indicator requires thorough volume data. If the source of an asset pair does not forward it, try to find another source or exchange for the same pair.
Signal Mode on the 4H chart is a relevant part of this indicator when used in isolation and helps to analyze momentum adjusted by volatility.
Methodology
The ℙℙ combines the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) with a bespoke volume and momentum calculation, with a classical Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on price data.
The ℙℙ itself integrates ALMA for volume and momentum with an EMA calculation on price, creating a unique blend that expresses impulses using their three raw main components.
The indicator calculates dynamic standard deviation bands based on an adjustable lookback period and the adjustable sigma (σ), to signal when the impulse strength is just uncommon or even extraordinary when compared to the usual price movements:
σ = 1.5 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is 13.37% / 2, hence ~ 6.69%
σ = 2.0 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is ~ 2.28%
σ = 2.5 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is ~ 0.62%
By detecting extremely improbable conditions the indicator can create an inversely highly probable signal to its user.
Neutral bands are calculated based on the ℙℙ alongside a rolling, dynamic multiplier. This effectively provides dynamic thresholds for approximating common volatility.
Heikin Ashi method: The indicator uses a custom function to calculate Heikin Ashi values, useful for smoothing impulse data and identifying trends.
Reversion Signals: Specifically for Heikin Ashi displays, we plot triangles as signals, useful to easily spot potential reversals.
The Signal Mode uses these different thresholds to highlight significant market moves.

Basic Logic:
The Normalised Gaussian MACD Heikin Ashi by AlgoAlpha integrates Gaussian filters to elevate the traditional MACD indicator's efficiency, providing a more detailed analysis of market trends and momentum. This sophisticated approach reduces noise and enhances signal speed, which is crucial for identifying momentum trading opportunities.
Gaussian Filter Implementation : The core innovation lies in applying a Gaussian filter to the input price series. This mathematical technique smooths the price data, significantly reducing market noise and making trend signals clearer and more reliable. The Gaussian filter calculates a smoothed value for each data point by weighting nearby data points, with the weights decreasing as the distance from the current data point increases.
Refined MACD Calculation : The Gaussian MACD is derived from the difference between two Gaussian smoothed moving averages (fast and slow), which are then normalized to account for market volatility. This normalization process involves dividing the difference by a measure of market range (such as the high minus the low), and multiplying by a factor (usually 100) to scale the indicator appropriately.
🔑 This script is a versatile tool designed to aid in the identification of momentum and reversals, helping traders to make informed decisions based on technical analysis. Its customization options allow for a tailored analysis experience, fitting the unique needs and strategies of each trader.
Dynamic Fusion Oscillator (DFO)The Dynamic Fusion Oscillator (DFO) is a uniquely crafted trading indicator that amalgamates the power of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator into a single, comprehensive tool. It provides traders with a more nuanced analysis of market momentum and overbought or oversold conditions. The DFO's distinctiveness lies in its ability to leverage the strengths of both RSI and Stochastic Oscillator, offering a more robust reading of market conditions. Moreover, it does so by offering a weighted approach, which combines the standardized values of both indicators. This flexibility in adjusting the weight of each component enhances its adaptability to different market scenarios, making it a versatile tool in a trader's arsenal. The following sections will delve into the intricacies of the DFO, demonstrating its advantages, usage, and applicability across various market conditions.
Differences from Existing Scripts:
The Dynamic Fusion Oscillator (DFO) is unique from other trading indicators as it combines the strengths of two popular technical analysis tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator. This fusion results in a dynamic, weighted oscillator that provides a more comprehensive view of the market's momentum and overbought or oversold conditions.
Usage and Market Conditions:
DFO can be used across different markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. It is designed to perform well in varying market conditions - trending or ranging. However, like any other technical indicator, it is advised to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not rely solely on it for making trading decisions.
Importance of Combining RSI and Stochastic Oscillator:
The RSI and Stochastic Oscillator are both momentum indicators, but they have their individual strengths and weaknesses. The RSI excels at identifying overbought and oversold conditions, while the Stochastic Oscillator is adept at predicting price reversals. By combining these two into a single oscillator, we can benefit from the strengths of both while minimizing their weaknesses. This fusion results in a more robust indicator that offers better signal quality and reliability.
Input Explanations:
RSI Length : This determines the number of periods used to calculate the RSI. A smaller value will make the RSI more sensitive to price changes, while a larger value will smooth out the RSI line.
Stochastic Length, Smooth K, Smooth D : These are parameters for calculating the Stochastic Oscillator. Length is the observation period, Smooth K is the smoothing factor for the %K line, and Smooth D is the smoothing factor for the %D line.
RSI Weight, Stochastic Weight : These determine the weights of the RSI and the Stochastic Oscillator in the final calculation. Increasing the weight of one will make the oscillator more sensitive to that component.
Standardization Length : This is the number of periods used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation for standardization purposes.
MA Length : This determines the number of periods used to calculate the moving average of the oscillator.
Upper Band Value, Lower Band Value : These set the maximum and minimum values for the oscillator. Signals are generated when the oscillator crosses these thresholds.
Number of periods above the band for alert condition : This sets the number of periods the oscillator stays above the band to trigger an alert.
Alert Conditions:
Alerts are generated under the following conditions:
Bullish Signal : An alert is generated when the Moving Average (MA) crosses above the Oscillator. This can be seen as a potential bullish signal indicating an upward price trend.
Bearish Signal : An alert is generated when the MA crosses below the Oscillator. This can be seen as a potential bearish signal indicating a downward price trend.
Oscillator above/below upper/lower band : Alerts are also generated when the oscillator has been above the upper band or below the lower band for a specified number of periods. This could signal overbought or oversold conditions, respectively. These signals can help traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
These alerts can help traders by providing timely signals for potential trading opportunities. However, they should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that also takes into account other technical and fundamental factors.
Trend Reversal PredictorThis is a predictive indicator which count bars upon rules and tries to predict the price reversals...
Numbers occuring above the bars tells you:
Green Numbers from 1 to 9 tells us there would be a possible SELL signal after the number 9 and if it's M9 that signal could be a stronger one.
1 from 9 must count consecutively and controls the situation that current bar's close is bigger than 4 bars before. Counting will be terminated if any of the bars don't comply this rule. The process must be consecutive and interruption of it starts over the bar counting process.
Red Numbers from 1 to 9 tells us there would be a possible BUY signal after the number 9 and if it's M9 that signal could be a stronger one.
1 from 9 must count consecutively and controls the situation that current bar's close is smaller than 4 bars before. Counting will be terminated if any of the bars don't comply this rule. The process must be consecutive and interruption of it starts over the bar counting process.
Support And Resistance Levels:
Support And Resistance Levels occur after counting from 1 to 9 completed.
Green 9's become much more reliable SELL signals as long as they occur much closer to the resistance lines.
Red 9's become much more reliable BUY signals as long as they occur much closer to the support lines.
Numbers occuring below the bars tells you:
Green Numbers from 1 to 13 starts to count after a Green 9 or M9 and tells us there would be a possible SELL signal after the number 13.
1 from 13 may be interrupted and can continue later on. After occurance of Green 13 one would predict that uptrend might weaken.
This process controls the situation that current bar's close is bigger than or equal to the highest price of 2 bars earlier. Counting will be paused if any of the bars don't comply this rule. The process doesn't have to be consecutive bu it will be terminated if RED 9 occurs above bars or breaks down the relevant support level.
Red Numbers from 1 to 13 starts to count after a Red 9 or M9 and tells us there would be a possible BUY signal after the number 13.
1 from 13 may be interrupted and can continue later on. After occurance of Red 13 one would predict that downtrend might weaken.
This process controls the situation that current bar's close is smaller than or equal to the lowest price of 2 bars earlier. Counting will be paused if any of the bars don't comply this rule. The process doesn't have to be consecutive bu it will be terminated if GREEN 9 occurs above bars or breaks up the relevant support level.
Support And Resistance Levels:
Support And Resistance Levels occur after counting from 1 to 13 completed.
Green 13's become much more reliable SELL signals as long as they occur much closer to the resistance lines.
Red 13's become much more reliable BUY signals as long as they occur much closer to the support lines.

About the script:
This script is an easy-to-use trend indicator, which is based on another popular indicator called "Supertrend" . The basic idea is very simple, i.e. to compute Average True Range(ATR) and use that as the basis for trend detection. The key difference lies in a custom trend detection method, that computes trends across different timeframes and projects them in a table view. The script also tries to improve the behaviour of the existing indicator by highlighting flat regions on the chart, indicating sideways market or potential trend reversals.
How to use it:
You can use it just like any other indicator, add it to your chart and start analysing market trends. Results can be interpreted as follows.
Indicator output is currently made up of two main components:
>> Trend Table:
Appears at the bottom right of your screen
Contains trend indicator for 9 different timeframes
Timeframes can be adjusted using indicator settings panel
Green Up Arrow --> Up Trend
Red Down Arrow --> Down Trend
>> Enhanced Supertrend:
Shows up as a line plot on the chart
Green line indicates up trend
Red line indicates down trend
White regions indicates slow moving markets or a potential trend reversal
Indicator can be used on any timeframe, it provides a view of current and historical market trend
Can be used as an indicator for entering/exiting trades
Can be used to build custom trading strategies
MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)
This chart overlay indicator is based upon the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and can signal multiple triple-timeframe CCI overbought and oversold confluences directly onto your chart, intended for use as a confluence either for reversal trade entries, or potential trade exits, indicating where price may be probable to reverse.
Features include:
- Primary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Secondary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Optional drawing of background colours and/or ribbon seen at bottom of the chart image.
- The default primary MTF #1 timeframes are set to 1 minute, 5 minute and 15 minute. These are highly suitable for low timeframe scalpers trading on < 5m charts, and can often pin point price reversals.
- The default Secondary MTF #2 timeframes are set to 15 minute, 30 minute and 120 minute. These are suitable for both low timeframe scalpers and considerably higher timeframe traders.
- Independent alerts for MTF #1 and MTF #2 triple-timeframe confluences, including options for alerting MTF overbought and MTF oversold individually, as well as an option for alerting either overbought or oversold in a single combined alert.
- Also includes standard configurable CCI options, including CC length and source type.
Note: The features listed above are accurate at the time of publishing but maybe updated or added to in future.
A similar MTF CCI indicator is also available as a panel indicator here .
This indicator is based upon the original MTF Fantastic Stochastic (FS+) available here .
What is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)?
Investopedia has described the popular oscillator as follows:
“The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold.
Developed by Donald Lambert, this technical indicator assesses price trend direction and strength, allowing traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position. In this way, the indicator can be used to provide trade signals when it acts in a certain way.”
You can read more about the CCI , its use cases and calculations here .
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is traditionally when the CCI is above the 100 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the -100 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the CCI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the CCI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the CCI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the CCI . While traditionally, the overbought and oversold levels are below -100 for oversold, and above 100 for overbought, the default threshold settings of this indicator have been increased to provide fewer, stronger signals, especially suited to the low timeframes and highly volatile assets.
Wavetrend DivergencesCreated for the MarketCipher Community and friends :)
This indicator is partly based on Wavetrend Oscillator by LazyBear / blue momentum waves on MarketCipher B.
The Wavetrend indicator is a combination of 2 oscillator lines that signals the short term direction of the price once the lines cross. The Wavetrend indicator is useful but only once a divergence has been identified based on the crosses and the price which is what this strategy partly uses to open trades. This indicator signals divergences in the wavetrend, both regular and hidden divergences.
This indicator utilizes support and resistances to make sure that the indicator only signals high probability winning divergences. Supports represents a low level a stock price reaches over time, while resistance represents a high level a stock price reaches over time. Support materializes when a stock price drops to a level that prompts traders to buy. This reactionary buying causes a stock price to stop dropping and start rising and this is where the indicator will be looking for a divergence at a price point of your choosing.
To make it easier i have added a support and resistance drawing indicator that will help you find price points on the chart that the price is likely to get a reaction from. There are right now only 4 support or resistances that can be drawn at one time so make sure to update the levels as the market changes.
I have helped update and modify from the original script. Here it is:
On top of these indicators i have added my own indicator that will signal a short term trend reversal that is based on pivot points and moving averages. This will usually signal reversals earlier than divergences and is very effective when following the trend and using support and resistances and can be used as an extra confirmation that there will be a reaction from the support or resistance and that the divergence will play out like you want it to. These trend reversal dots can also be used to take profit.
Trade setup example:
As seen in the picture below price comes down to a previously drawn support line, then there is a trend reversal dot that signal a potential reversal and finally a divergence is signalled once there is a clear reaction to the support. When all these signals come together there is a high probability that the trade will end up in profit. To take profit in this trade setup you can use the trend reversal dots, the drawn resistances or your own intuition and technical analysis with Marketcipher B and DBSI. A stop loss in this trade setup could be at the swing low, below the blue or teal line.
There are alerts for everything so that you wont miss a trade setup. Hope you like it :)
I have some ideas on how to improve the indicator so there will be updates in the future.
Kase Peak Oscillator w/ Divergences [Loxx]Kase Peak Oscillator is unique among first derivative or "rate-of-change" indicators in that it statistically evaluates over fifty trend lengths and automatically adapts to both cycle length and volatility. In addition, it replaces the crude linear mathematics of old with logarithmic and exponential models that better reflect the true nature of the market. Kase Peak Oscillator is unique in that it can be applied across multiple time frames and different commodities.
As a hybrid indicator, the Peak Oscillator also generates a trend signal via the crossing of the histogram through the zero line. In addition, the red/green histogram line indicates when the oscillator has reached an extreme condition. When the oscillator reaches this peak and then turns, it means that most of the time the market will turn either at the present extreme, or (more likely) at the following extreme.
This is both a reversal and breakout/breakdown indicator. Crosses above/below zero line can be used for breakouts/breakdowns, while the thick green/red bars can be used to detect reversals
The indicator consists of three indicators:
The PeakOscillator itself is rendered as a gray histogram.
Max is a red/green solid line within the histogram signifying a market extreme.
Yellow line is max peak value of two (by default, you can change this with the deviations input settings) standard deviations of the Peak Oscillator value
White line is the min peak value of two (by default, you can change this with the deviations input settings) standard deviations of the PeakOscillator value
The PeakOscillator is used two ways:
Divergence: Kase Peak Oscillator may be used to generate traditional divergence signals. The difference between it and traditional divergence indicators lies in its accuracy.
PeakOut: The second use is to look for a Peak Out. A Peak Out occurs when the histogram breaks beyond the PeakOut line and then pulls back. A Peak Out through the maximum line will be displayed magenta. A Peak Out, which only extends through the Peak Min line is called a local Peak Out, and is less significant than a normal Peak Out signal. These local Peak Outs are to be relied upon more heavily during sideways or corrective markets. Peak Outs may be based on either the maximum line or the minimum line. Maximum Peak Outs, however, are rarer and thus more significant than minimum Peak Outs. The magnitude of the price move may be greater following the maximum Peak Out, but the likelihood of the break in trend is essentially the same. Thus, our research indicates that we should react equally to a Peak Out in a trendy market and a Peak Min in a choppy or corrective market.

Multi-TimeFrame Extremum Points Support/ResistanceIntroduction
This is my newest Support/Resistance indicator based on the idea of my previous script which had been featured in Editors' Picks .
Everyone seems to have their own idea of how you should measure support and resistance levels. This code finds the exact highest and lowest price points (Extrema) on the chart and then draws the support and resistance levels on them.
In my opinion, the advantage of this method is that the most powerful resistance/support levels which usually cover the supply/demand areas would be formed on these extremum points, as the following facts state.
Facts
1. Support and resistance levels are one of the key concepts used by technical analysts and form the basis of a wide variety of technical analysis tools. Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to identify price points on a chart where the probabilities favor a pause or reversal of a prevailing trend.
2. Supply and demand zones are natural support and resistance levels and a popular analysis technique used in day trading. The zones are the periods of sideways price action that come before explosive price moves. A supply zone forms before a downtrend and a demand zone forms before an uptrend. When the price leaves the supply/demand zone and starts trending, the strong imbalance between buyers and sellers leads to strong and explosive price movements.
3. Based on Dow Theory, trends persist until a clear reversal occurs. A reversal is a change in the price direction of an asset. Reversals typically refer to large price changes, where the trend changes direction.
Challenges
The most challenging part in implementing a S/R indicator which draws all the levels on the chart is the problem of congestion!
But we should notice two other facts:
1. The more times the price tests a support or resistance area, the more significant the level becomes.
2. A previous support level will sometimes become a resistance level when the price attempts to move back up, and conversely, a resistance level will become a support level as the price temporarily falls back.
So, I solved the problem using these two approaches:
Merging nearby levels and showing the role of the levels in colors and numbers
Avoiding many weaker levels by checking higher time frames
Settings and Usage
There are some options in the indicator settings as described below:
Calculations Time Frame: By changing the time frame, user could keep only the stronger S/R levels on the chart.
Level Colors: By default, lowest points (Supports) are green, highest points (Resistances) are red and merged levels are blue. Note that the transparency of the colors would be calculated automatically; The more opaque the color is, the stronger the level is!
Lines Style and Width: The style of the levels could be solid, dashed or dotted and user could also change the lines width in pixels.
Length of the lines: This option is based on the count of bars, but user could simply choose to extend the levels
Merge Nearby Levels: The proximity of the levels would be calculated automatically based on ATR (Average True Range) and the default length of the formula could be changed.
Labels: Each level could have a label consisting the count of merged levels into one, the percentage of merged supports/resistances and the price of the level. Note that if user choose to see the percentage of S/R roles, the color of each label changes automatically based on the main role of corresponding merged level (e.g., a blue level with a red label means that the level more acted as resistance).
I think the users of my previous S/R indicators could check this one
That's it for now! Feel free to send me your thoughts!
[UPRIGHT] Bulls-V-Bears Tug-of-War SquidGame [Premium] (cc)Hello Traders,
Today I'm updating the Bull V. Bears with a Premium version. (Note: the other version is shown below the Premium on the chart above)
……"The game is Tug of War, the side that pulls the rope from the middle to their side wins. Let the game begin."……
How it works:
This indicator is not a typical one.
1) It shows visually when Bull volume or Bear volume is ‘pulling the rope to their side’.
2) It uses several different formulas to get an accurate read on the level of volume , but still keeps peaks and troughs within 100 for easy reading.
3) Update: It was originally meant to be used strictly with other indicators, but it can now be used as a standalone indicator.
__________________________________
Legend:
1) The top line signals give the major signals –
a. Red cross = Bearish volume strength and continuation.
b. Green cross = Bullish volume strength and continuation.
i. + Green Dot inside enhances signal.
ii. + Red Dot inside weakens signal.
c. Blue circle = Can indicate the beginning of a reversal to the upside or downside.
d. Pink circle = Can indicate the beginning of a reversal to the downside.
2) The Bottom signals are triggered when one circle-rope crosses over the other, these signals give confirmation to the top line signals – Red bearish / Green bullish .
3) As shown on the chart, the Reversal setup usually consists of a blue circle, followed by a red or green cross, then confirmation from the bottom signal.
4) Without the signals: green obviously is Bullish especially above the threshold set --Red bearish . The regular rope gives trend indication.
I've added tooltips to make it easy to understand, feel free to leave a comment if you still have a question!

Elder Force Index With ATR Channels [loxx]Elder Force Index With ATR Channels, adaptive from original script by Dr. Alexander Elder
What it does
-EFI is used to sport reversals mainly on the weekly time frame
-When EFI spikes over 3 x ATR calculated on the signal line, price is said to have exhausted and you can start looking for reversals
Features
-Change all inputs
-Truncate EFI at 4 x ATR so as to not squish the indicator
-Open source, use code as you wish. If you use this code, shoot me a line and tell me how you're using it
M.Right Bulls-V-Bears -Tug-of-War- SquidGame Themed(cc)Hello Traders,
I've decided to finally release an indicator I've spent several hours working to get just right and as far as I know, there isn’t one as accurate. And.... decided to add a little Squid Game theme to it just for fun.
……"The game is Tug of War, the side that pulls the rope from the middle to their side wins. Let the game begin."……
This indicator is not a typical one.
1) It shows visually when Bull volume or Bear volume is ‘pulling the rope to their side’.
2) It uses several different formulas to get an accurate read on the level of volume, but still keeps peaks and troughs within 100 for easy reading.
3) Update: It was originally meant to be used strictly with other indicators, but it can now be used as a standalone indicator.
Legend:
1) The top line signals give the major signals –
a. Red cross = Bearish volume strength and continuation.
b. Green cross = Bullish volume strength and continuation.
i. + Green Dot inside enhances signal.
ii. + Red Dot inside weakens signal.
c. Blue circle = Can indicate the beginning of a reversal to the upside or downside.
d. Pink circle = Can indicate the beginning of a reversal to the downside.
2) The Bottom signals are triggered when one circle-rope crosses over the other, these signals give confirmation to the top line signals – Red bearish / Green bullish.
3) As shown on the chart, the Reversal setup usually consists of a blue circle, followed by a red or green cross, then confirmation from the bottom signal.
4) Without the signals: green obviously is Bullish especially above the threshold set --Red bearish. The regular rope gives trend indication.
I've added tooltips to make it easy to understand, feel free to leave a comment if you still have a question!
Features:
-Tooltips (hover over - Info) for understanding.
-Works well on all timeframes; even 5min, I made a tooltip for recommended lengths.
-Customizable Signals; with the ability to turn on and off.
-Reversal signals: Pink and Blue circles can indicate reversals coming.
-Works well as a leading standalone indicator.
-Adjustable top signal row.
-Highlight background.
-Alerts
-Rules added (hover over).
Cheers,
Mike
Break/Reversal/Touch [Intromoto]This script shows the engulfing breaks, touches and potential reversals for when prices arrives at certain time frame closes.
On publishing it shows the crossovers of the 6 hour, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly time frames.
The candle main signals are contingent on crossing over the closing level, and engulfing the previous candle. Secondary signals occur when the candle low or high touch the closing levels, in the directional color, i.e. you'll get a bearish touch signal if the candle high touches the level, and it's a red candle. Reversals occur when the subsequent candle breaks a closing level, but the current candle engulfs the previous candle in the opposing direction.
If a candles low or high hits a daily, weekly, or monthly close level it also will plot a "D/W/M Touch" in the according direction.
Thanks
Peak Reversal v2This is a brand new version of my Peak Reversal indicator. As with the older version, the idea behind this indicator is simple: identify potential price reversal areas, and identifying markets which are trending. In this new version I focused on improving on the old concept, but introduced a bunch of features heavily inspired by Adam Grimes' ideas from The Art and Science of Trading. (I also blatantly stole the way he colors candles outside of the bands. Sorry.)
As you can see below this indicator gives traders a plethora of tools to judge whether a market is trending, and might be mean reverting soon.
Follow me, join my group, like the script. You know the drill.
Basic functions:
You have a triplet of Keltner (ATR-based) bands in Peak Reversal. They are defined by a multiplier and an EMA, which is referred to as "the mean". There's a tight, normal, and an extreme band. The multiplier defines how far apart your bands are. By default the indicator uses 1.125, 2.25, and 3.375. The tight band is off by default, but you can turn it on in the options. The mean is also off by default. This is more a personal preference thing for me, because I happen to use a different indicator to show a couple of moving averages.
Band crosses:
Peak Reversal can indicate whenever price crosses one of the bands. This can help traders identify points where a mean reversal play could be an option. Triangles indicate these crosses. New in version 2 is the ability to choose which of the bands to use to show these crosses. If you are more of an aggressive trader, you might find it better to show tight band crosses. If you are looking for more extreme market conditions, then choose extreme. The default is "normal".
Free bars:
Indicating free bars is also a concept from the book. A "free bar" is one which stands "freely" above the bands, which means its low price is completely outside of the bands. It can be argued that a freely standing bar is an even more extreme mean deviation, than just a band cross. Traders can gain an additional advantage studying the markets this way. Free bars are not shown by default, when on, a star shape on the candles indicates free bars. Both band crosses and free bars can be shown at the same time, but there might be overlap.
Deviations:
Also based on a concept from The Art and Science of Trading, is an indication of price "deviations". You will notice that when a candle "touches" a band (high and close above band), its colored. The idea here is to show traders when a market is in motion, but also when a mean reversal might be coming next. To accomplish this, the more colors deviate, the darker the color is. The idea here is also simple, the more price deviates off the mean, the likelier it is to return to it. This uses three different shades to show these deviations. 1-2 is one shade, 3-4 another, and upwards of 5 there's only the darkest shade. I didn't make extensive studies, which color for how many candles would be appropriate to use, but I do believe it doesn't matter that much in usage. It's clear what traders gain from using this information: more deviation, the likelier a snapback becomes.
Advanced mode:
Last but not least, I decided to add an advanced mode for advanced traders. This does nothing more than flip all colors and shapes upside down. Everything that is red, becomes green. The idea is where some traders say "buy low, sell high" (standard mode), other traders might say "buy high, sell higher" (advanced mode). See for yourself, which one you like better.

Small Buy Signal (B1 & B2)
Printed if some of the confirmations are triggered and can be treated as DCA entries or for further
confirmation with other indicators and basic TA.
Crayons (Color Bars):
Blue: RSI is oversold
Olive: RSI and Stoch RSI are oversold
Yellow: RSI, Stoch RSI are oversold and lower Bollinger Bands are crossed by Low
Orange: RSI, Stoch RSI and CCI are oversold

If activated in the config, a trailing SL can be displayed on the chart based on ATR.
█ SETTINGS
The underlying indicators used are RSI, Stoch RSI, Bollinger Bands, MACD and CCI.
All possible configs can be changed in the config settings.
█ GENERAL INFORMATION
Depending on the settings, the indicator performance will be highly affected.
This indicator is only displaying highly oversold areas and events of trend reversal it is not a *God*-Signal and will print false positives.
█ ALERTS
An alert for the main buy-signal is implemented and can be used via the TV alert functionality.
The Ultimate Frank Ochoa Trading Setup by YesuThis trading set up will show the Frank Ochoa's 4 reversal candles with the 'RSI and volume filters' along with the necessary pivots. You will be able to select the RSI and volume filters individually for all the 4 setups. It will also show the colored RSI candle when the RSI conditions met. You can also set the Initial Balance based on your preference. Lot more features that you can explore. A must have for pivot traders. This is the trading set up which I am using from the past 15 months
Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI)This is the Beta release of the Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI), expect an update by the end of year.
The Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI) is an advanced script for professional traders who have taken the time to learn all its functions. It is a time based indicator that anticipates the ending of trends based on the momentum in price movement. As an important secondary element, MRI also suggests when a trend might be starting or continuing, which a trader can certainly take advantage of. It is useful across all assets and all time frames but is ideal in more liquid assets on Daily & Weekly time frames.
Since this is an Invite Only Script, I will not be making the code public nor explain the math logic of the code here in TradingView. TradingView also limits any external links, but those interested in details or access should be resourceful enough to find all the information they need on my website. However, I will try and explain the usefulness of the MRI indicator with the following images.
MRI will display a downwards red arrow above the candle when the bullish trend is ending and an upwards green arrow above the candle when the bearish trend is ending. The candle before the MRI top/bottom is marked by an orange arrow warning you that the trend might be ending on the next candle. (It's common that the trend ends on the candle before or after this MRI signal, I personally like to use single candlestick reversals for confirmation like Shooting Stars, Hammers and Doji). The orange arrow will disappear if a green or red arrow shows up, but will remain on the chart if on the following candle, the conditions needed to make the MRI signal are not met. See NYSE:UBER chart below:
When the number above the arrow is something other than a 1, it indicates a strong trend and the number represents consecutive instances of hitting that MRI extreme condition. These consecutive instances have been known to cause major changes in trend and the larger the number, the bigger the move might be. Here is a recent example of the daily chart hitting a 3 on the MRI, with the market falling 6.5% in the following 3 days and 10% over the next 3 weeks (you can see this in the image used to publish this script)
The biggest number I have seen is a 5, this occurred on the weekly chart of AMEX:CBOE as it was followed by a 30% correction over the next two weeks.
Following an MRI Top/Bottom there are three different Extensions of trend if the price continues to move in the same direction and does not reverse with the MRI. It’s up to the trader to decide which of the three they find most relevant, for me it’s B & C, and there are settings you can use to remove what you don't care for from display. They have a different but similar rule set which is explained to those serious about the indicator and purchase access, which comes with full explanations in a video. Here is a recent chart of NASDAQ:AMZN for an example:
And here is a weekly chart of NYSE:GM topping on Extension C with the MRI warning (Orange Arrow). Extensions A & B also provided good profit takes after a big run up
These Extensions are particularly useful when they occur on (or right around) an MRI Top/Bottom. Here is an example where it timed the 2018 stock market SPCFD:SPX top perfectly leading directly into an MRI Bottom two weeks later (Also notice how we can show multiple timeframes hitting MRI levels)
In addition to Extensions, an MRI Top/Bottom generates a Resistance/Support line (dotted) and a Breakout Line (solid). The Support/Resistance not only has a tendency to reverse the price but also increases the probability of the MRI leading to a full reversal if the line is not broken. By breaking this dotted line, you increase the probability of entering the Extension of Trend. The Breakout line tends to notify the trader that the trend is very strong and continuing. As an example of Support line, here is a recent 1 hour BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart
Here is FX_IDC:EURUSD as of today on a daily chart which shows the Extension of trends once these critical support/resistance and breakout lines are taken out.
The indicator also shows you if the MRI is hitting critical levels on higher level time frames. We have set the defaults to Hourly (H), Daily (D), Weekly (W), Monthly (M) and Yearly (Y). You can turn these off in settings and you can also add up to 3 additional custom timeframes of your choice to the display list. When MRI lines up across several time frames it has a history of causing significant moves, here is an example of NSE:TITAN which fell 25% after aligning with the Daily, Weekly and Monthly timeframes for a top.
The recent top in TVC:GOLD came on a Friday which had a Daily Extension B & C top. The following Monday kicked off a weekly MRI Top and a week later was the start of September, which happens to be a Monthly MRI Top. Gold is still trending lower as of today and is down 11% since this top less than 2 months ago.
One final note on the multi-timeframe is that if you have the Hourly (H) set to display on a chart that only has end of day data, the Indicator will not work so make sure to uncheck all timeframes that can't be identified in the settings.
Here are additional charts that show the power of MRI including cryptocurrencies:
Recent 25% crash in BINANCE:BNBBTC
Of course we have to mention BITSTAMP:BTCUSD here is how MRI called the time period around the big crash in March 2020. There was a very timely MRI Top several weeks prior and once the Support line broke, it went right down into a nice MRI Bottom.
Volatility Index Weekly & Daily as of today CBOE:VIX
Here is the current look at the weekly USD chart TVC:DXY you can see how it tops on Extension C in March and seems to have bottomed with the MRI in late August.
One more look at a stock chart, here we have the Weekly NASDAQ:SBUX as of today, it perfectly oscillates between the MRI calls the last two years.
Disclaimer : Trading is risky and using MRI (like any other indicator) does not guarantee positive returns. It does not blindly provide Buy/Sell/Short calls and the trader will need to evaluate every alert.
“The average man doesn’t wish to be told that it is a bull or a bear market. What he desires is to be told specifically which particular stock to buy or sell. He wants to get something for nothing. He does not wish to work. He doesn’t even wish to have to think.” - Jesse Livermore
Personal Note: I would like to credit the following people that all lead to the knowledge needed to build the MRI: Larry Williams, Tom DeMark, Tyler Jenks, Martin Armstrong & Kevin O’Dowd (most of whom I have met or interacted with)
Thank you everyone, if this indicator interests you, you know what to do...
Good Luck Trader,

Upside ReversalsUpside reversal is noticed when a stock first dips below the prior week's low, then rallies in heavy trade to close either with a gain or with a much-reduced loss. Upside reversal can be identified with following condition:
A stock falls in heavy volume but bounces back, ending up for the day or week
OR
A stock falls in heavy volume but at least it finishes in the upper 60% of its trading range for the day or week
Upside reversal can be applied on day or week but if it is on weekly, it is a strong indication that institutions may be pumping money as they think stock is a bargain. This script is the approximate conversion of Richard Moglen's TC2000 scripts in TradingView. Search YouTube for his video on 'Upside Reversal'
This indicator, evaluates following conditions and print the arrow down label with percentage of reversal
Stoc(1,1) should be higher than 60%;
AND today's close is above 60% range;
AND today's low is lesser than yesterday;
AND Stoc(5,2,1) is lesser than 65
You can change inputs from Stoc(5,2,1) to Stoc(10,4,1) based on your need.
NOTE:
1) I still see some false positives so be aware of it.
2) It is absolutely possible to have an Upside reversal on down trend also. Please look for confirmation following day on the trend before act on it.
3) Volume level is not validated in the indicator, so you need to include it in the chart and check it.
4) This is still an experimental script & published for educational purpose only
Smart Envelope - Running Away From The TrendIntroduction
Envelopes indicators consist in displaying one upper and one lower extremity on the price chart. They are most of the time built by adding/subtracting a volatility estimator (rolling stdev, atr, range...etc) to a central tendency estimator (SMA, EMA, LSMA...etc) . Their interpretation is often subject to debate amongst technical analyst, some will use a support and resistance methodology, where price will start a downtrend once it cross the upper extremity, and a down trend once it cross the lower one. Others will prefer a breakout methodology, where price will reach higher highs once it cross the upper extremity, and lower lows when it cross the lower one. Because of price non stationarity its hard to select the best methodology, the support and resistance one will mostly work on ranging markets, while the breakout methodology mostly work on trending ones.
Therefore new methods where proposed, instead of using moving averages with a high lag, faster filters where used, such as the least squares moving average or zero lag exponential moving average, other band indicators where also created using adaptive filters, but improvements remain relatively low. The most difficult task would be to make extremities with the ability to return accurate support and resistances levels, and today i want to provide a new way to construct such extremities by using the recursive bands framework that allow extremely creative and efficient indicators.
The Main Idea
With classical bands indicators, the upper and lower extremity will still be correlated with the main trend, the problem behind such method is that we can't use a support and resistance methodology with trending markets, the fact that reversals exist tells us that our extremities will always be crossed by the main trend, here is an example :
Here the support is correlated with the main trend, in order for it to be accurate we must assume the trend will go on for ever, and will only detect higher lows, this is what we expect with the orange line, but we can see that a severe down trend totally destroy our plan.
In short we need to give some headroom to our extremities, and thus one extremity can't be correlated with the main trend.
The proposed Indicator
We want to minimize the correlation between the extremities, so if the upper extremity rise, the lower one must fall. This allow to give some headroom and allow the user to anticipate larger movements, this is how bands seeking to give support and resistances points should work.
The indicator has a length setting that control the wideness of the extremities, unlike other indicators low values such as 14 can still create really wide bands, take that into account.
length = 5. Lower length values allow for more motion from the extremities, but does not necessarily involve detecting shorter terms support and resistances levels. The factor setting is not that important, but it allow to return extremities with more motion when high, and really wide bands when below 1 and greater than 0.
Central Tendency Estimator
Something fun with the recursive band framework is that the bands are no longer based on the central tendency estimator but its the central tendency estimator who is based on the bands. The central tendency estimator can also provide support and resistances points with the price, like classical moving averages, altho its lack of motion is this time a downside.
Conclusion
Altho the extremities are more accurate than other band indicators, the problem remain the same, larger trend will always break the extremities and continue creating higher/lower highs/lows, at this point our stop loss would certainly be triggered. This is a huge downsides of contrarian strategy, we sure might anticipate reversals earlier, but we are exposed to larger price movements, therefore the risk is extreme.
But the proposed methodology might still prove useful to develop more robust support and resistances levels based on envelopes indicators.
Thanks for reading !
ALPHA: ReversalWhat is a divergence?
In the case of strength and momentum indicators, it is when the price deviates from the movement of the oscillator, it can have significant implications for trade management.
Divergences in an uptrend occurs when the price makes a higher high but the indicator does not. In a downtrend, divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the indicator does not. When a divergence is spotted, there is a higher probability of a price reversal.
Divergences helps the trader recognize and react appropriately to a change in price action. It tells us something is changing and the trader must make a decision, such as tighten the stop-loss or take profit. Seeing divergences increases profitability by alerting the trader to protect profits or open a position.
Divergences indicate that something is changing, but it does not automatically mean the trend will reverse. It signals the trader must consider holding, tightening the stop loss, opening a position or take profit.
Introduction
The Alpha: Reversal is an indicator based off of the Stochastic, Relative Strength Index and Momentum indicator. Its sole purpose is to be able to identify divergences when they matter and identify high probability reversal areas. The formula used between the three indicators will be kept proprietary, in addition to the slight changes made on the Stochastic formula. The indicator plots the histogram with a divergence formula within a 14 period look-back on default. Additionally, there is a moving average of the histograms movement to identify the divergences when they matter.
Divergences exist on just about every candle, most of the time they are at a minuscule level. Rarely do the price and oscillator movement collude, the question becomes when do these divergences matter?
With that in mind I approached the task of finding a reliable reversal model. On default, the indicator has a moving average that measures the past histogram (the formula of the three indicators) movement to identify when a high potential trend shift may happen.
Keeping volatility in mind there is a feature called "Fixed Threshold" in settings. Various assets move at different speeds, so the indicator needs the ability to adjust to fit the assets speed. This "Threshold" option does not have a set of rules to use for each asset, the option is there though, so it may be adjusted by the analyst manually if the histogram moving average seems inaccurate due to volatility or lack thereof. In future publications (or possibly indicator updates) I plan on expanding on a fixed set of rules for various assets. This will take considerable time to research and backtest the various values needed for an asset's speed, so for now the default MA can be used until you are comfortable with adjusting the threshold level manually.
The look-back period on the histogram and threshold MA can be adjusted to whichever time period you would like. However, the default 14 is typically what is best considering the inputs of the three underlying indicators.
Analysis
The indicator is actually quite simple to read. When the price spikes blue, there is a high probability of reversal, same goes for red but in the opposite fashion. Now as always, you should use this indicator as an analysis tool and not rely on it by itself. Many times Cryptocurrencies couldn't care less about strength or oversold/overbought and volume explodes out of nowhere, I highly recommend you use price action in addition to Alpha: Exhaustion and Alpha: Volume with this tool. Oh wait, Alpha: Volume is not out yet.... SOON. :)
Point is, use proper analysis techniques with this indicator, nothing is perfect. NOTHING. But the Alpha: Reversal is a great tool to use for not only the beginner trader, but the advanced also. There is a ton of ways to use this indicator beyond the high probability reversal areas, I am discovering some really neat patterns within my new formula that I plan on expanding on in future publications, i.e. dead cat bounces and relief candles plus a few more.
Conclusion
The Alpha: Reversal is a great analysis tool that I now use on all my charts, as time goes on I plan on holding classes for its users on a regular basis to expand on the various techniques that can be implemented in addition to publishing research relevant to its purpose.
Access to the indicator can be purchased on my site www.thetradingwizard.com with either a monthly option for this & the Alpha: Exhaustion (), or a lifetime subscription independently. All updates and changes will be done automatically and included for every user. The Alpha series is designed to help you make your analysis easier to comprehend and more accurate, I really think this one will be enjoyed by many for years to come, I have enjoyed designing and using this immensely. As always, please make your own decisions when trading and use proper analysis techniques.
Note: The options within the Alpha: Reversal allow the indicator to be used on any timeframe & any asset. As with any indicator, the higher the timeframe, the higher the accuracy.

PivotBoss Wick Reversal SetupPATTERN SUMMARY
1. The body is used to determine the size oftlle reversal wick. A wick tllat is between 2.5 to 3.5 times larger than
the size of the body is ideal.
2. For a bullish reversal wick to exist, tlle close ofthe bar should fall witllin tlle top 35 percent of the overall range
of the candle.
3. For a bearish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the bottom 35 percent of the overall
range of the candle.
PATTERN PSYCHOLOGY
Figure 2-4 shows several types of bullish and bearish reversal wick candlesticks that can all signal
profitable reversal opportunities in the market, especially if these patterns are paired with key pivot levels. In
traditional candlestick jargon, these particular candlesticks would have names ranging from hammer , hanging
man, inverted hammer , shooting star , gravestone doji , or dragonfly doji , depending on where the candle is
placed in a trend. Now you can see why I simply call these candlesticks wicks, or even tails. Instead of fumbling
over the proper naming of these candlesticks , I believe it is more important to know what these patterns
represent. What are they telling you?
Types of Candlestick Reversal Wicks
When the market has been trending lower then suddenly forms a reversal wick candlestick , the likelihood of
a reversal increases since buyers have finally begun to overwhelm the sellers. Selling pressure rules the decline,
but responsive buyers entered the market due to perceived undervaluation. For the reversal wick to open near the
high of the candle, sell off sharply intra-bar, and then rally back toward the open of the candle is bullish , as it
signifies that the bears no longer have control since they were not able to extend the decline of the candle, or the
trend. Instead, the bulls were able to rally price from the lows of the candle and close the bar near the top of its
range, which is bullish - at least for one bar, which hadn't been the case during the bearish trend (see Figure 2.5).
The Stages of a Reversal Wick
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
Essentially, when a reversal wick forms at the extreme of a trend, the market is telling you that the trend
either has stalled or is on the verge of a reversal. Remember, the market auctions higher in search of sellers, and
lower in search of buyers. When the market over-extends itself in search of market participants, it will find itself
out of value, which means responsive market participants will look to enter the market to push price back toward
an area of perceived value. This will help price find a value area for two-sided trade to take place. When the
market finds itself too far out of value, responsive market participants will sometimes enter the market with
force, which aggressively pushes price in the opposite direction, essentially forming reversal wick candlesticks .
This pattern is perhaps the most telling and common reversal setup, but requires steadfast confirmation in order
to capitalize on its power. Understanding the psychology behind these formations and learning to identify them
quickly will allow you to enter positions well ahead of the crowd, especially if you've spotted these patterns at
potentially overvalued or undervalued areas.
