Strength
TSI Strength Meter vs USD with divergenceThis indicator consists of two lines. One is a gray line (USD) and the asset indicator is green or red.
The basis of this indicator is the true strength indicator (TSI) with parameters 5,15. Both line sets are based on a TSI (5,15).
The lookback period is for new highs / new lows. Default value is 200 periods.
GREEN/RED LINE
The first that is green and red is whatever you choose to display ( BTC in this case).
The green and red lines indicate going up or going down.
GRAY LINE
The gray line is the US Dollar . So everything is relative to that by default.
ZERO LINE CROSSES
These are momentum shifts. If you see a crossover of both around the zero line, its a good indication there is a change in momentum and a reversal of trend.
NEW HIGHS NEW LOWS
There are 4 new colors added to this indicator. For the asset you are viewing, a lime color means new highs within the lookback period. A new low is indicated by a yellow line color.
The new lows for the USD are white for new lows within the lookback period and blue line for the new highs.
DIVERGENCE
You can also spot divergences easily. For example, if a lime color is seen on the indicator line, that means "new high" but if it occurs below the last "new high" it means the asset is going up to new highs but the indicator is showing us that the readings are below the previous new highs, indicating a negative divergence.
The same goes for the yellow colored lines. higher yellows mean positive divergence.
And with the US Dollar , blue lines dropping means a negative divergence in the US Dollar , while white lines moving up means a positive dollar divergence.
INTERPRETATION
Examples:
If you see a green and sometimes red line of the asset indicator and a gray line that drops below the zero line; it may mean the asset is rising and the trend is up.
If you see a green and red line below the zero line and with a gray line above the zero line , it indicates there is a negative trend. If you suddenly see blue lines on the USD, this means its hitting new lows. If these blue lines then start to slowly move downwards; then we have a positive divergence. If that were to be followed by the green line crossing the zero line, its a pretty good be that the trend is changing and its a very good buying oportunity.
Relative Volume Strength IndexRVSI is an alternative volume-based indicator that measures the rate of change of average OBV.
How to read a chart using it?
First signal to buy is when you see RVSI is close to green oversold levels.
Once RVSI passes above it's orange EMA, that would be the second alert of accumulation.
Be always cautious when it reaches 50 level as a random statistical correction can be expected because of "market noises".
You know it's a serious uptrend when it reaches above 75 and fluctuates there, grading behind EMA.
The best signal to sell would be a situation where you see RVSI passing below it's EMA when the whole thing is close to Red overbought level
It looks simple, but it's powerful!
I'd use RVSI in combination with price-based indicators.
RedK Strength of MovementThis is a quick indicator i wrote to inspect the strength of price movement and show when what i consider to be "a quality trend" has been established. the code is open and commented - the "math concept" is really simple and i'm not sure if this has already been coded before :) - my apologies if it was.
my main goal was to identify opportunities to establish "simple, straight" long call or put positions for the stocks i follow
- what i noticed thru the years is that some opportunities will present themselves to take these basic option positions but they are "rare", maybe once or twice a year -- for example, in 2020, TSLA presented 2 such opportunities around the split and the index inclusion - so i needed an indicator that exposes these setups. if you can time yourself with these setups, they are incredibly rewarding.
these setups will happen when the SoM reaches 100% (in either directions) while it's in agreement with the prevailing trend (hence the need to use the SoM with a MACD or something like the Ribbon) - if the SoM hits the 100% in one direction and the trend is not in the same direction, that signal is invalid. see the chart for some examples.
a quick useful observation, is that the SoM will sometimes also act as a leading indicator for an imminent change in trend direction, which makes sense .. given that the SoM relies on exposing the "relative" movement or change of price (close for example) - thru the use of the stoch() function - and that this "change value" will usually expand in the direction of a strong trend and starts to contract ahead of a reversal.
Please fee free to use this code, leverage the indicator, or give feedback
i may come back later and update this with some features (like making this volume-weighted)
best of luck!

RMI + Triple HMRSI + Double EVWRSI + TERSI + CMO StrategyThis is a strange experimental strategy WIP that I decided to upload an early version to share some of what I am working on. Just one script of a few.
It combines Chande Momentum with RMI and some weird ones I am experimenting with - Triple Hull MA RSI, Double Exponential + Volume Weighted RSI, Triple Exponential RSI. And to top it off, a final oscillator that combines the THMRSI with the RMI.
The main intention here, currently, is to test the usefulness of each on different timeframes and values. Currently it is considered to buy when all are below their threshold and sell when all are above, with the chande momentum crossing its line as the final confirmation.
For now there is no individual for each of the unique elements included. I am going to likely use this is a working house project to test other experimental indicators in the future.
It may be some of these are better suited for long term but I do think they have valid uses in checking short and long term momentum at the very least.
I copied the RMI from Everget.
RSI PlusRSI Plus:
☑️ Show the divergences.
☑️ Shows the approximate price of an RSI level (by default it is level 55 but it can be changed for any other level).
☑️ Shows the bulls and bears zones, in green when crossing level 50 up and red when crossing down.
☑️ Circle the highest and lowest levels as possible purchases and sales.
☑️ Includes a smoothed RSI.
RSI Plus:
☑️ Muestra las divergencias.
☑️ Muestra el precio aproximado de un nivel del RSI (por defecto viene el nivel 55 pero se lo puede cambiar por cualquier otro nivel).
☑️ Muestra la zonas de toros y osos, en verde cuando cruza hacia arriba el nivel 50 y rojo cuando cruza hacia abajo.
☑️ Marca con un circulo los niveles mas alto y mas bajos como posibles compras y ventas.
☑️ Incluye un RSI suavizado.
Composite Any Currency Strength IndexThis is a flexible currency strength indicator and you can adjust it to any currency you wish 'to measure'. By default, it is set to measure USD major pairs. Indicator calculates every pair you list, and plots one composite chart in the form of Heikin Ashi candles. Basically, you will get USD index in this case. Similarly, you can get AUD, EUR, CAD, JPY, CHF, etc indexes by specifying corresponding symbols. Remember about base and quote currencies and location of each for correct calculations. Simple adjustments in the script needed if you want to value USD by using USD in both base and quote (counter) currencies.
For example, when calculating USD strength by looking into USDJPY (not into JPYUSD) symbols, you will need to add minus "-" before corresponding security in the script itself, not in the Settings Inputs.
Default study script (with JPYUSD):
// Inputs
...
string sec3 = input(defval="JPYUSD", type=input.symbol, title="Symbol")
...
h_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, high)
l_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, low)
o_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, open)
c_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, close)
Adjusted study script with USDJPY:
// Inputs
...
string sec3 = input(defval="USDJPY", type=input.symbol, title="Symbol")
...
h_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, high)
l_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, low)
o_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, open)
c_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, close)
Unfortunately, I am not a coder specialist and perhaps someone here could improve this indicator for easier and more friendly adjustments. But thanks to variety of symbols on TradingView , you can ignore any changes in the script, and just use symbols with corresponding counter currency offered by this great platform.
Bollinger Bands, 2 x RMA, 4 x SMA/EMA were added for deeper analysing of the index. Other indicators with ability to select data sources (like CCI, StochRSI, Momentum etc) can be separately added to a current chart, but use Composite Any Currency Strength Index data as the source for analysing displayed pair, i.e. by selecting source - Composite Any Currency Strength Index: SMA Close or EMA HLC.
Thank you and good luck everyone!
Exponential Regression Slope Annualized with R-squared HistogramMy other indicator shows the linear regression slope of the source. This one finds the exponential regression slope and optionally multiplies it by R-squared and optionally annualizes it. Multiplying by R-squared makes sure that the price movement was significant in order to avoid volatile movements that can throw off the slope value. Annualizing the exponential slope will let you see how much percentage you will make in a year if the price continues at its current pace.
The annualized number is the number of trading days in a year. This and the length might need adjusting for the extra bars that might be in futures or other markets. The number does not have to be a year. For example, it can be a month if you set the number to 20 or so trading days to find how much you would make in a month if price continues at its current pace, etc. This can also be used as an alternative to relative strength or rate of change.
Waters-Williams A/D OscillatorThis is the A/D oscillator, design by Jim Waters and Larry Williams. As any other oscillator, it measures the strength of the buy and sell pressure.
If a candle opens at the low, and closes at it's high, the signal given by the oscillator is 100. If it opens at high and closes at low, the signal will be 0. Since it completely disregard other values, it is common to use a smoothed version of it, which is the average of the last n values, just like the stochastic oscillator.
Tho it doesn't have much use for positioners or swing traders, day traders and scalpers can use it in confluence with volume to enter in a counter trend trade.
WSI FX DashboardThe WSI (Walton Strength Index) is a currency strength tool designed to show you how individual currencies are performing against each other.
It shows strength for 8 of the major currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, USD, CAD, AUD, NZD
Each of the lines corresponds to a currency, and you can use those readings to determine which currency pairs you would like to trade.
For example, if the EUR is higher than the rest of the currencies and the USD is lower than the rest of the currencies, then you may consider only buying on the EURUSD.
Don't look at this as an "entry mechanism" for placing trades, but rather a filter mechanism to help you determine which currency pairs might be best for a particular trading strategy that you intend to utilize. Once you have selected a currency pair, or set of currency pairs, then you would go to the individual currency pair charts and perform your usual technical analysis.
The Dashboard can be placed on any chart or timeframe. In the inputs you can select the timeframe you would like to use for the WSI calculations.
For example, if you are on a 1 hour chart and want to see a higher level view of the market, you might set the WSI Dashboard timeframe to Daily.
You can also change the WSI Period, which controls how many candles are used to calculate the strength for each currency.
Here is the 200 Period Daily WSI Dashboard:
72s: Adaptive Hull Moving Average+One challenging issue for beginner traders is to differentiate market conditions, whether or not the current market is giving best possibility to stack profits, as earliest, in shortest time possible, or not.
On intraday, we've seen some big actions by big banks are somewhat can be defined --or circling around-- by HMA 200 . I've been thinking on to make the visuals more conform to price dynamics (separating major movement and minor noise) to get clearer signs of when it starts to happen. So it will be easier to see in a glance when the strength starts really taken place, with less cluttered chart.
This Adaptive HMA is using the new Pine Script's feature which now support Dynamic Length arguments for several Pine functions. ( read: www.tradingview.com). It hasn't support the built-in HMA() directly, but thankfully we can use its wma() formula to construct. (Note: I tweaked a bit HMA formula already popular here by using plain int() instead of round() on its wma's length, since I find it precisely match tradingview's built-in HMA).
You can choose which aspect the Adaptive HMA period will adapt to.
In this study I present it with two options: Volume and Volatility . It will "moves" faster or slower depends on which situation the aspect is currently into. ie: When volume is generally low or volatile readings is not there, price won't move very much, so the adapting MA will slow down by dynamically lengthen the lookback period, and vice versa, and so on.
Colour-markings in the Adaptive resembles which situation explained above. In addition, I also combine it with slope calculation of the MA to help measuring trend-strength or sideway/choppy conditions.
This way when we use it as dynamic support/resistance it will be more visually-reliable.
Secondly, and more important, it might help us traders with better probability info of whether or not a trade should even worth to be made . ie: If in the mean time market won't give much movement, any profit would also only as much. In most cases, we might better save our dime for later or place it somewhere else.
HOW TO USE:
Aside from better dynamic support/resistance and clearer breakout confirmation, MA is coloured as follow:
YELLOW:
Market is in consolidation or flat. Be it sideways, choppy, or in relatively small movements. If it shows up in a trending market, it may be an earlier sign that current trend might about to change its direction, or confirming a price broke-out to another side.
LIGHT GREEN or LIGHT RED:
Tells if a trend is forming but still relatively weak (or getting weaker), as it doesn't have volume or volatility to support.
DARKER GREEN ot DARKER RED:
This is where we can expect some good and strong price movement to ride. If it's strong enough, many times it marks a start of new long-lasting major trend.
SETTINGS:
Charger:
Choose which aspect your HMA should plug itself into, thus it will adapt to it.
Minimum Period, Maximum Period:
172 - 233 is just my own setting to outmatch the static HMA 200 for intraday. I find it --in my style of trading-- best in 15m tf in almost any pair, and 15m to 1H for some stocks. It also works nicely with conventional EMA 200, sometimes as if they somewhat work hand-in-hand in defining where the price should go. But you can, ofcourse, experiment with other ranges, broader or narrower. Especially if you already have an established strategy to follow to. As you might do with:
Consolidation area threshold:
This has to do with slope calculation. The bigger the number means your MA needs bigger degree to define the market is out of flat (yellow) area. This can be useful if needed to lighten up the filter or vice-versa.
Background colouring:
Just another colouring to help highlighting the difference in market conditions.
ALERTS:
There are two alerts:
Volume Break: when volume is breaking up above average, and
Volatility Meter: when the market more likely is about to have its moment of the big wiggling brush.
USAGE:
Very very nice BUY entry to catch big up-movement if:
1. Price is above MA. (It is best when price is also not to far distance from the MA, or you can also use distance oscillator to help out too)
2. HMA's color is in darker green. Means it's on the charging plug with your chosen aspect.
3. RSI is above 50. This is to help as additional confirmation.
Clear SELL entry signal is same as above, just the opposite.
-------------------------------------------------------
Note:
Lower timeframe of course means more noise to be filtered. Depends on the instrument, you might need to tweak the settings a bit till it conform nicely and shows lots of good trades in history. Here's another example on GBPUSD 5m timeframe:
For exit/take-profit point, you can use a second faster period static HMA. Or you can also use RSI. Here's an example:
Don't get me wrong, on few occasions I found it's still best using static MA to spot fakeouts, breakouts, etc, especially ones that's been already use widely. If that's the case or price actions seems suspicious, simply put the same value for minimum and maximum period settings, and there you have the original HMA with extra features.
For developer, check in the code if you need to customise your own charger.
-------------------------------------------------------
That's it. Hopefully this Adaptive HMA+ could at least be a good sidekick to your own strategy, as it does mine. ;)
Relative StrengthA relative strength overlay, similar to that of IBD shown on Marketsmith.
The value is not from 0-100, it is compared with the Nasdaq x2 ETF, QLD. Therefore, if greater than zero it will give you a good indication that the stock has a very good relative strength.
Feel free to change the comparison ETF to one of your choosing.
Relative Currency StrengthThis indicator shows the relative strength of the majors and crosses compared to each other. So, if you are taking a EURUSD long, are you taking it because the Euro is strong or the USD is weak or both? How do you know? This indicator will show you how strong a current is compared to the other majors and crosses. So in the EURUSD example, you will know how strong the EUR is compared to NZD, AUD, JPY, CHF, GBP, CAD and USD and how strong the USD is compared to the NZD, AUD, JPY, CHF, EUR, GBP and CAD. You can then make an informed choice as to whether the trade makes sense.
Notice in the examples below how the indicator clearly shows how CHF was weak all day and GBP was strong in the morning but then collapsed in the afternoon.
The indicator functions by taking a set point in the day and comparing how price compares to it for the rest of the day. I set it to Europe open and then take context of how a currency is comparing to that price (verses the other currencies) over the course of the day.
You can use the indicator in 2 ways - you set a currency as a baseline and see how other currencies fluctuate about it or you can see how all the currencies strengths compare to each other.
If you have the full tradingview membership you can have 8 screens and see how each currency compares. if you set the indicator to automatic it will automatically default to the base currency that you compare to OANDA gold.
The general strength is useful as a general overview as to where strength and weakness is in the charts. It works by using gold as the baseline which is a reliable way to compare strengths.
REMEMBER, THIS GIVES SUMMARY DATA. USE IT TO GET MARKET CONTEXT IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY WHERE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS IS - YOU CANT JUST TRADE FROM IT. It's extremely useful in fast moving markets to easily stay aware of what is happening.
VWAP OscillatorToday I'm proposing a simple VWAP oscillator script to trade buy and sell waves more easily.
You trade this similar to how you trade Awesome Oscillator, so if you want an explanation just look up YT videos.
In addition to that, this will also show volume squeezes, please note that this is a makeshift way and not real volume squeeze phenomena of volume profile and tape. None the less, it is quite good at allowing you to ride out good trending waves and locate weak price action due to volume squeeze. You can turn off bar coloring from settings if you don't want this.
For ease of reading, I've also applied Allenstars Dynamic zones on this indicator so you can easily locate where the reading is entering in long and where it is in sell, this is compared to selected sample size. I've already selected the most common setting for that, so you don't really need to fiddle with it unless you find something better.
This indicator can be used to trade divergences as well, in fact, I feel it is better for that compared to RSI/MACD, the usual suspects.
Past performance is not assurance of future performance and this idea is published for only educational purposes, author taken no responsibility for your profit or loss.
Effort v RewardI made this indicator to make it easier to compare volume and price movement. This is similar in concept to the Market Facilitation Index by Bill Williams, although hopefully this can make that analysis easier to see at a glance (similar to the way some bar overlays/recolors work but with more detail and in its own pane). The primary use for this indicator would be paying attention to the red EMA, which shows the difference between price movement and volume, normalized within the normalization lookback period (adjustable, defaults to 30 bars). When the red ema moves up, it means there is less effort required to move price more, which means the trend (if there is one) is probably stronger or has had resistance removed/shaken out already; if the red ema moves down into the negative, it means there is a lot of effort for very little price movement, meaning a large battle between the bears and the bulls currently (squat). Enjoy, let me know if you want adjustments, and safe and successful trading!
Real Relative Volume - Line Indicator - Time Adjusted - DE & EN// English description below
Die richtige Aktie zu finden, ist nich immer einfach. Eine wichtige Variable bei der Aktienauswahl stellt das relative Volumen dar, welches von vielen erfolgreichen Tradern und Trading Firmen benutzt wird. Stell es Dir so vor: Statt sich das absolute Volumen anzuschauen, schauen wir uns die tatsächliche Stärke an. Wie viel Volumen wird also heute im Vergleich zu einem regulären Tag gehandelt. Dies gibt Aufschluss darüber, ob die Aktie "In-Play" ist.
Merke: Ist das RVOL (Relative Volumen) erhöht, sind mehr Marktteilnehmer an dieser Aktie interessiert als üblich. Dies ist besonders dann wichtig, wenn die Marktrichtung und die Richtung der Aktie nicht übereinstimmen.
Wenn der Markt steigt, steigen auch die meisten Aktien. Dies kann folglich auch ohne erhöhtes RVOL passieren. Was ist aber, wenn der Markt gegen uns geht? Dann werden wir schnell bei RVOL-schwachen Aktien ausgeschüttelt. Daher wollen wir unseren Fokus immer auf Aktien setzen, die ein erhöhtes relatives Volumen haben! Dies sind die Aktien, die gerade wirklich stark gehandelt werden und wahrscheinlich einen Katalysten dafür haben.
Der Real Relative Volume - Line Indicator zeigt Dir das aktuelle relative Volumen an. Unser Algo benutzt dabei das tatsächliche kumulative Volumen des aktuellen Tages zum jeweiligen (aktuellen) Zeitpunkt und vergleicht dieses mit dem historischen Durchschnittsvolumen zum gleichen Zeitpunkt . Damit bekommen wir ein korrektes Abbild der aktuellen Stärke. Mit Hilfe des Indikators können wir ebenfalls sehen, ob diese Stärke zunimmt, gleich bleibt, oder gegebenenfalls schnell and Power verliert. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Skripten nutzen wir eine fortschrittliche Methode, die aktuelle Position am Tag erkennt und damit nicht die Session in gleiche Teile teilt. Vorteil: Der Indikator funktioniert auch in Krypto, Forex, DE-Aktien, Indizes etc.
Funktionen:
Bitte ohne verlängerte Handelszeiten nutzen!
Sessions Back: Verändert die Baseline, die Du mit dem heutigen Volumen vergleichst. Beispiel: 10 - Zur aktuellen Uhrzeit siehst Du das reale relative Volumen von heute in Relation zu den letzten 10 Sessions (zur gleichen Zeit). (*max 5000 Kerzen)
Threshold: Stelle eine bestimmte Schwelle ein, bei der Du dich über die TradingView Funktion alarmieren lassen möchtest.
T1-4: Stelle unterschiedliche RVOL Werte ein.
Use Traffic Color for Line: Die unterschiedlichen T1-4 Werte und Farben werden für das Liniendiagramm genutzt.
Dieser Indikator wird häufig mit unserer zweiten Version Real Relative Volume - Bar Indicator - Time Adjusted - DE & EN verwendet.
/////// English version
Finding the right stock is not always easy. An important variable in stock selection is the relative volume, which is used by many successful traders and trading firms. Think of it like this: Instead of looking at absolute volume, we look at actual strength. So how much volume is traded today compared to a regular day? This gives an indication of whether the stock is "in play".
Note: If the RVOL (relative volume) is increased, more market participants are interested in this stock than usual. This is especially important if the market direction and the direction of the stock do not match.
If the market rises, most shares will also rise. This can, therefore, happen without an increased RVOL. But what happens if the market goes against us? Then we are quickly shaken out of RVOL-weak stocks. Therefore, we always want to focus on stocks that have an increased relative volume! These are the stocks that are trading really strongly right now and probably have a catalyst for that.
The Real Relative Volume - Line Indicator shows you the current relative volume. Our Algo uses the actual cumulative volume of the current day at the respective (current) time and compares it with the historical average volume at the same time . This gives us a correct picture of the current strength. With the help of the indicator, we can also see whether this strength increases, remains the same, or if it loses power quickly. Unlike other scripts, we use an advanced method that recognizes the current position on the day and thus does not split the session into equal parts. Advantage: The indicator also works in crypto, forex, foreign stock markets, indices, and many more.
Functions:
Please use without extended trading hours!
Sessions Back: Changes the baseline that you compare to today's volume. Example: 10 - At the current time you see the real relative volume of today in relation to the last 10 sessions (at the same time). (*max 5000 Bars)
Threshold: Set a certain threshold at which you want to be alerted via the TradingView function.
T1-4: Set different RVOL values.
Use Traffic Color for Line: The different T1-4 values & colors are used for the line plot.
This indicator is often used with our second version Real Relative Volume - Bar Indicator - Time Adjusted - DE & EN .
Share USD group first to composite a 8 screens of strength.

BoredWoreders GUIDED LIGHTSHello BoredWorkers here.
We've been on a journey to create the most perfectly simple indicator for newbies to profit NO MATTER WHAT and we're ending our journey successfully here soon.
So we will be releasing indicators, apart of or, that were a part of our journey.
The guided lights indicator is a favorite.
This indicator is simple. It displays the current power any candle you're currently watching. No matter the time frame. It only displays strong signals.
Example - You've jumped in a daily trade setup. While watching the daily candle the guided lights indicator will light up the colors of a traffic light.
The green light will display when the candle is in a strong up push.
The yellow light will display when the candle up push is weakening or is weak.
The yellow light will display when the candle down push is weakening or is weak.
The red light will display when the candle is in a strong down push.
- Arrows are added to the yellow lights to help you determine candle directions.
- If the light is lit and turns off. That only means its stop pushing but its not a reversal back to when it lit. New support or new resistance unless the colors say otherwise.
Have fun! We enjoyed it. Latch it directly under your chart. And watch the magic!
PS Unless you're more experienced don't trade during no light phase.
Colored Directional Movement and Bollinger Band's Cloud by DGTThis study combines Bollinger Bands, one of the most popular technical analysis indicators on the market, and Directional Movement (DMI), which is another quite valuable technical analysis indicator.
Bollinger Bands used in conjunction with Directional Movement (DMI) may help getting a better understanding of the ever changing landscape of the market and perform more advanced technical analysis
Here are details of the concept applied
1- Plots Bollinger Band’s (BB) Cloud colored based on Bollinger Band Width (BBW) Indicator’s value
Definition
Bollinger Bands (created by John Bollinger ) are a way to measure volatility . As volatility increases, the wider the bands become and similarly as volatility decreases, the gap between bands narrows
Bollinger Bands, in widely used approach, consist of a band of three lines. Likewise common usage In this study a band of five lines is implemented
The line in the middle is a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 bars (the most popular usage). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands. The Upper and Lower Bands are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. the Upper and Lower Bands in this study are set to two and three standard deviations (widely used form is only two standard deviations) away from the SMA (The Middle Line), hence there are two Upper Bands and two Lower Bands. The background between two Upper Bands is filled with a green color and the background between two Lower Bands is filled with a red color. In this we have obtained Bollinger Band’s (BB) Clouds (Upper Cloud and Lower Cloud)
Additionally the intensity of the color of the background is calculated with Bollinger Bands Width ( BBW ), which is a technical analysis indicator derived from the standard Bollinger Bands indicator. Bollinger Bands Width, quantitatively measures the width between the Upper and Lower Bands. In this study the intensity of the color of the background is increased if BBW value is greater than %25
What to look for
Price Actions : Prices are almost always within the bands especially at this study the bands of three standard deviations away from the SMA. Price touching or breaking the BB Clouds could be considered as buying or selling opportunity. However this is not always the case, there are exceptions such as Walking the Bands. “Walking the Bands” can occur in either a strong uptrend or a strong downtrend. During a strong trend, there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the BB Clouds. Each time that this occurs, it is not a signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move. In this study in order to get a better understanding of the trend and add ability to perform some advanced technical analysis Directional Movement Indicator (DMI) is added to be used in conjunction with Bollinger Bands.
Cycling Between Expansion and Contraction : One of the most well-known theories in regards to Bollinger Bands is that volatility typically fluctuates between periods of expansion (Bands Widening : surge in volatility and price breaks through the BB Cloud) and contraction (Bands Narrowing : low volatility and price is moving relatively sideways). Using Bollinger Bands in conjunction with Bollinger Bands Width may help identifying beginning of a new directional trend which can result in some nice buying or selling signals. Of course the trader should always use caution
2- Plots Colored Directional Movement Line
Definition
Directional Movement (DMI) (created by J. Welles Wilder ) is actually a collection of three separate indicators combined into one. Directional Movement consists of the Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+D I) and Minus Directional Indicator (-D I) . ADX's purposes is to define whether or not there is a trend present. It does not take direction into account at all. The other two indicators (+DI and -DI) are used to compliment the ADX. They serve the purpose of determining trend direction. By combining all three, a technical analyst has a way of determining and measuring a trend's strength as well as its direction.
This study combines all three lines in a single colored shapes series plotted on the top of the price chart indicating the trend strength with different colors and its direction with triangle up and down shapes.
What to look for
Trend Strength : Analyzing trend strength is the most basic use for the DMI. Wilder believed that a DMI reading above 25 indicated a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicated a weak or non-existent trend
Crosses : DI Crossovers are the significant trading signal generated by the DMI
With this study
A Strong Trend is assumed when ADX >= 25
Bullish Trend is defined as (+D I > -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as green triangle up shape on top of the price chart
Bearish Trend is defined as (+D I < -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as red triangle down shape on top of the price chart
Week Trend is assumed when 17< ADX < 25, which is plotted as black triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Non-Existent Trend is assumed when ADX < 17, which is plotted as yellow triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by comparing ADX’s current value with its previous value
Summary of the Study:
Even more simplified and visually enhanced DMI drawing comparing to its classical usage (may require a bit practice to get used to it)

Composite RSI2/9Composite RSI is a new way of calculating the RSI. Unlike the RSI that is a sort of a momentum indicator, composite RSI2/9 is more a trending indicator. It tends to filter out insignificant price changes and seems to be good in identifying the underlying trends.
This indicator shows the average RSI between two periods (default values are 2 and 9) considering the same for multiple timeframes.
For example if the average between RSI2 and RSI9 for 1H and 4H is crssed below static sell level (values is adjustable) it could be read as a signal of down trend.
I suggets to use with higher timeframe.
Internal Bar Strength IndicatorThe Internal Bar Strength Indicator is pretty basic but very intuitive. Most stocks that close near their high of the day tend to fall the next day and stocks that close near their low tend to rise the next day. This indicator has very similar buy and sell signals as the RSI. Buy when the indicator rises above its signal or if the indicator is in the red zone and rises up outside of the red zone. Sell when the indicator falls below its signal or if the indicator is in the green zone and falls down outside of the green zone.
