Volume Flow OscillatorVolume Flow Oscillator
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool that measures buying and selling pressure by combining price direction with volume. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this oscillator reveals the force behind price movements, helping traders identify strong trends, potential reversals, and divergences between price and volume.
Reading the Indicator
The oscillator displays seven colored bands that fluctuate around a zero line:
Three bands above zero (yellow) indicate increasing levels of buying pressure
Three bands below zero (red) indicate increasing levels of selling pressure
The central band represents the baseline volume flow
Color intensity changes based on whether values are positive or negative
Trading Signals
The Volume Flow Oscillator provides several valuable trading signals:
Zero-line crossovers: When multiple bands cross from negative to positive, potential bullish shift; opposite for bearish
Divergences: When price makes new highs/lows but oscillator bands fail to confirm, signals potential reversal
Volume climax: Extreme readings where outer bands stretch far from zero often precede reversals
Trend confirmation: Strong expansion of bands in direction of price movement confirms genuine momentum
Support/resistance: During trends, bands may remain largely on one side of zero, showing continued directional pressure
Customization
Adjust these key parameters to optimize the oscillator for your trading style:
Lookback Length: Controls overall sensitivity (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother)
Multipliers: Adjust sensitivity spread between bands for different market conditions
ALMA Settings: Fine-tune how the indicator weights recent versus historical data
VWMA Toggle: Enable for additional smoothing in volatile markets
Best Practices
For optimal results, use this oscillator in conjunction with price action and other confirmation indicators. The multi-band approach helps distinguish between minor fluctuations and significant volume events that might signal important market turns.

Bitcoin Power LawThis is the main body version of the script. The Oscillator version can be found here.
Understanding the Bitcoin Power Law Model
Also called the Long-Term Bitcoin Power Law Model. The Bitcoin Power Law model tries to capture and predict Bitcoin's price growth over time. It assumes that Bitcoin's price follows an exponential growth pattern, where the price increases over time according to a mathematical relationship.
By fitting a power law to historical data, the model creates a trend line that represents this growth. It then generates additional parallel lines (support and resistance lines) to show potential price boundaries, helping to visualize where Bitcoin’s price could move within certain ranges.
In simple terms, the model helps us understand Bitcoin's general growth trajectory and provides a framework to visualize how its price could behave over the long term.
The Bitcoin Power Law has the following function:
Power Law = 10^(a + b * log10(d))
Consisting of the following parameters:
a: Power Law Intercept (default: -17.668).
b: Power Law Slope (default: 5.926).
d: Number of days since a reference point(calculated by counting bars from the reference point with an offset).
Explanation of the a and b parameters:
Roughly explained, the optimal values for the a and b parameters are determined through a process of linear regression on a log-log scale (after applying a logarithmic transformation to both the x and y axes). On this log-log scale, the power law relationship becomes linear, making it possible to apply linear regression. The best fit for the regression is then evaluated using metrics like the R-squared value, residual error analysis, and visual inspection. This process can be quite complex and is beyond the scope of this post.
Applying vertical shifts to generate the other lines:
Once the initial power-law is created, additional lines are generated by applying a vertical shift. This shift is achieved by adding a specific number of days (or years in case of this script) to the d-parameter. This creates new lines perfectly parallel to the initial power law with an added vertical shift, maintaining the same slope and intercept.
In the case of this script, shifts are made by adding +365 days, +2 * 365 days, +3 * 365 days, +4 * 365 days, and +5 * 365 days, effectively introducing one to five years of shifts. This results in a total of six Power Law lines, as outlined below (From lowest to highest):
Base Power Law Line (no shift)
1-year shifted line
2-year shifted line
3-year shifted line
4-year shifted line
5-year shifted line
The six power law lines:
Bitcoin Power Law Oscillator
This publication also includes the oscillator version of the Bitcoin Power Law. This version applies a logarithmic transformation to the price, Base Power Law Line, and 5-year shifted line using the formula: log10(x) .
The log-transformed price is then normalized using min-max normalization relative to the log-transformed Base Power Law Line and 5-year shifted line with the formula:
normalized price = log(close) - log(Base Power Law Line) / log(5-year shifted line) - log(Base Power Law Line)
Finally, the normalized price was multiplied by 5 to map its value between 0 and 5, aligning with the shifted lines.
Interpretation of the Bitcoin Power Law Model:
The shifted Power Law lines provide a framework for predicting Bitcoin's future price movements based on historical trends. These lines are created by applying a vertical shift to the initial Power Law line, with each shifted line representing a future time frame (e.g., 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, etc.).
By analyzing these shifted lines, users can make predictions about minimum price levels at specific future dates. For example, the 5-year shifted line will act as the main support level for Bitcoin’s price in 5 years, meaning that Bitcoin’s price should not fall below this line, ensuring that Bitcoin will be valued at least at this level by that time. Similarly, the 2-year shifted line will serve as the support line for Bitcoin's price in 2 years, establishing that the price should not drop below this line within that time frame.
On the other hand, the 5-year shifted line also functions as an absolute resistance , meaning Bitcoin's price will not exceed this line prior to the 5-year mark. This provides a prediction that Bitcoin cannot reach certain price levels before a specific date. For example, the price of Bitcoin is unlikely to reach $100,000 before 2021, and it will not exceed this price before the 5-year shifted line becomes relevant. After 2028, however, the price is predicted to never fall below $100,000, thanks to the support established by the shifted lines.
In essence, the shifted Power Law lines offer a way to predict both the minimum price levels that Bitcoin will hit by certain dates and the earliest dates by which certain price points will be reached. These lines help frame Bitcoin's potential future price range, offering insight into long-term price behavior and providing a guide for investors and analysts. Lets examine some examples:
Example 1:
In Example 1 it can be seen that point A on the 5-year shifted line acts as major resistance . Also it can be seen that 5 years later this price level now corresponds to the Base Power Law Line and acts as a major support at point B (Note: Vertical yearly grid lines have been added for this purpose👍).
Example 2:
In Example 2, the price level at point C on the 3-year shifted line becomes a major support three years later at point D, now aligning with the Base Power Law Line.
Finally, let's explore some future price predictions, as this script provides projections on the weekly timeframe :
Example 3:
In Example 3, the Bitcoin Power Law indicates that Bitcoin's price cannot surpass approximately $808K before 2030 as can be seen at point E, while also ensuring it will be at least $224K by then (point F).

Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.

Compression Patterns (w/ Trend + Proximity Filter)🧠 Description:
This indicator identifies high-probability price compression patterns within trending environments — a setup prized by experienced swing and day traders alike. It combines the classic NR4, NR7, 2-Bar NR, 3-Bar NR, and Inside Day formations with a powerful trend filter and proximity logic to deliver clear, focused signals.
🔍 What's Inside:
▪️ Compression Patterns
The core of this tool lies in the logic of price compression. These patterns signal the market taking a breath — volatility contracts, volume dries up, and price coils like a spring.
When this happens in the right context, the next move is often explosive.
NR4 / NR7: Narrowest range in 4 or 7 bars — excellent for spotting the quiet before the storm.
2-Bar NR / 3-Bar NR: These identify the tightest consecutive 2 or 3-day ranges over the past 20 days — contextually rare and powerful.
Inside Day: A simple but highly effective consolidation pattern, especially when it clusters around key moving averages.
▪️ Trend Filter (EMA Stack)
You could say this is where most indicators fall apart — no context.
This one doesn’t make that mistake.
Signals only fire when the 10 EMA > 20 EMA > 50 EMA, and price is above the 20 EMA. That’s a strong, established uptrend — the only environment where breakouts are statistically favourable.
Why?
Because trend following works.
It may not give you fixed daily returns, but it’s the only strategy with theoretically infinite profit potential. You risk little, trade less, and position yourself for rare but massive moves. That’s the edge.
▪️ Proximity Filter (1 ATR to EMA)
We’ve added another layer of discipline. Signals only fire when price is:
Within 1 ATR of the 10 EMA (if price is above it), or
Within 1 ATR of the 20 EMA (if price is below the 10 EMA)
This ensures you’re not chasing. You’re waiting for tight, controlled pullbacks into dynamic support — exactly where institutions add size, not exit.
⚙️ Fully Customisable:
Toggle visibility of each pattern
Custom colours and transparency for label & background
Adjustable ATR length and multiplier
Change label text if needed (useful for translations or tweaks)
🎯 Ideal Use Case:
Swing trading off the daily chart
Day trading with VWAP/MACD filters (in alternate versions)
Supplementing price action strategies
🔚 Final Word:
This isn’t an “everything scanner.”
It’s a discerning sniper scope for traders who wait patiently for clean trends, tight consolidations, and perfect proximity — then strike.
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals [Bitwardex]⚙️🧠Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals
🔷Overview
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals is a Pine Script™ v6 indicator designed to visualize market trends and generate signals through a combination of volatility clustering, Gaussian smoothing, and adaptive trend calculations. Built as an overlay indicator, it integrates advanced techniques inspired by machine learning concepts, such as K-Means clustering, to adapt to changing market conditions. The script is highly customizable, includes a backtesting module, and supports alert conditions, making it suitable for traders exploring trend-based strategies and developers studying volatility-driven indicator design.
🔷Functionality
The indicator performs the following core functions:
• Volatility Clustering: Uses K-Means clustering to categorize market volatility into high, medium, and low states, adjusting trend sensitivity accordingly.
• Trend Calculation: Computes adaptive trend lines (SmartTrend) based on volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX filters.
• Signal Generation: Identifies potential buy and sell points through trend line crossovers and directional confirmation.
• Backtesting Module: Tracks trade outcomes based on the SmartTrend3 value, displaying win rate and total trades.
• Visualization: Plots trend lines with gradient colors and optional signal markers (bullish 🐮 and bearish 🐻).
• Alerts: Provides configurable alerts for trend shifts and volatility state changes.
🔷Technical Methodology
Volatility Clustering with K-Means
The indicator employs a K-Means clustering algorithm to classify market volatility, measured via the Average True Range (ATR), into three distinct clusters:
• Data Collection: Gathers ATR values over a user-defined training period (default: 100 bars).
• Centroid Initialization: Sets initial centroids at the highest, lowest, and midpoint ATR values within the training period.
• Iterative Clustering: Assigns ATR data points to the nearest centroid, recalculates centroid means, and repeats until convergence.
• Dynamic Adjustment: Assigns a volatility state (high, medium, or low) based on the closest centroid, adjusting the trend factor (e.g., tighter for high volatility, wider for low volatility).
This approach allows the indicator to adapt its sensitivity to varying market conditions, providing a data-driven foundation for trend calculations.
🔷Gaussian Smoothing
To enhance signal clarity and reduce noise, the indicator applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to:
• RSI: Smooths the Relative Strength Index (calculated from OHLC4) to filter short-term fluctuations.
• SmartTrend: Smooths the primary trend line for a more stable output.
The Gaussian kernel uses a sigma value derived from the user-defined smoothing length, ensuring mathematically consistent noise reduction.
🔷SmartTrend Calculation
The pineSmartTrend function is the core of the indicator, producing three trend lines:
• SmartTrend: The primary trend line, calculated using a volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX conditions.
• SmartTrend2: A secondary trend line with a wider factor (base factor * 1.382) for signal confirmation.
SmartTrend3: The average of SmartTrend and SmartTrend2, used for plotting and backtesting.
Key components of the calculation include:
• Dynamic Standard Deviation: Scales based on ATR relative to its 50-period smoothed average, with multipliers (1.0 to 1.4) applied according to volatility thresholds.
• RSI and ADX Filters: Requires RSI > 50 for bullish trends or < 50 for bearish trends, alongside ADX > 15 and rising to confirm trend strength.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands: Constructs upper and lower bands around price action, adjusted by the volatility cluster’s dynamic factor.
🔷Signal Generation
The generate_signals function generates signals as follows:
• Buy Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses above SmartTrend2 and the price is above SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses below SmartTrend2 and the price is below SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
Directional Logic: Tracks trend direction to filter out conflicting signals, ensuring alignment with the broader market context.
Signals are visualized as small circles with bullish (🐮) or bearish (🐻) emojis, with an option to toggle visibility.
🔷Backtesting
The get_backtest function evaluates signal outcomes using the SmartTrend3 value (rather than closing prices) to align with the trend-based methodology.
It tracks:
• Total Trades: Counts completed long and short trades.
• Win Rate: Calculates the percentage of trades where SmartTrend3 moves favorably (higher for longs, lower for shorts).
Position Management: Closes opposite positions before opening new ones, simulating a single-position trading system.
Results are displayed in a table at the top-right of the chart, showing win rate and total trades. Note that backtest results reflect the indicator’s internal logic and should not be interpreted as predictive of real-world performance.
🔷Visualization and Alerts
• Trend Lines: SmartTrend3 is plotted with gradient colors reflecting trend direction and volatility cluster, accompanied by a secondary line for visual clarity.
• Signal Markers: Optional buy/sell signals are plotted as small circles with customizable colors.
• Alerts: Supports alerts for:
• Bullish and bearish trend shifts (confirmed on bar close).
Transitions to high, medium, or low volatility states.
🔷Input Parameters
• ATR Length (default: 14): Period for ATR calculation, used in volatility clustering.
• Period (default: 21): Common period for RSI, ADX, and standard deviation calculations.
• Base SmartTrend Factor (default: 2.0): Base multiplier for volatility-adjusted bands.
• SmartTrend Smoothing Length (default: 10): Length for Gaussian smoothing of the trend line.

• Set Alerts: Configure alerts for trend shifts or volatility changes to support manual or automated trading workflows.
• Combine with Analysis: Use the indicator alongside other tools or market context, as it is designed to complement, not replace, comprehensive analysis.
🔷Technical Notes
• Data Requirements: Requires at least 100 bars for accurate volatility clustering. Ensure sufficient historical data is loaded.
• Market Suitability: The indicator is designed for trend detection and may perform differently in ranging or volatile markets due to its reliance on RSI and ADX filters.
• Backtesting Scope: The backtest module uses SmartTrend3 values, which may differ from price-based outcomes. Results are for informational purposes only.
• Computational Intensity: The K-Means clustering and Gaussian smoothing may increase processing time on lower timeframes or with large datasets.
🔷For Developers
The script is modular, well-commented, encouraging reuse and modification with proper attribution.
Key functions include:
• gaussianSmooth: Applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to any data series.
• pineSmartTrend: Computes adaptive trend lines with volatility and momentum filters.

🔬 How It Works
1. Trend Evaluation:
For each timeframe, the indicator calculates a trend score (+1, -1, or 0) using either:
MA vs Price: Comparing close price to a moving average
RSI: Determining if RSI is above or below 50
2. Score Aggregation:
The three trend scores are combined and then scaled to a range of -100 to +100
A value of +100 indicates all timeframes show bullish conditions
A value of -100 indicates all timeframes show bearish conditions
Values in between indicate varying degrees of alignment
3. Signal Processing:
The raw oscillator value can be smoothed using EMA, SMA, or left unsmoothed
The final value determines line color, fill color, and transparency settings
Threshold levels are applied to identify potential trading opportunities
💡 Note:
The SynchroTrend Oscillator is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes proper risk management techniques. For best results, consider using the oscillator in conjunction with support/resistance levels, price action analysis, and other complementary indicators that align with your trading style.

Altcoin Reversal or Correction DetectionINDICATOR OVERVIEW: Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection
Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection is a powerful crypto-specific indicator designed exclusively for altcoins by analyzing their RSI values across multiple timeframes alongside Bitcoin’s RSI. Since BTC's price movements have a strong influence on altcoins, this tool helps traders better understand whether a reversal or correction signal is truly reliable or just noise. Even if an altcoin appears oversold or overbought, it may continue trending with BTC—so this indicator gives you the full picture.
The indicator is optimized for CRYPTO MARKETS only. Not suitable for BTC itself—this is a precision tool built only for ALTCOINS only.
This indicator is not only for signals but also serves as a tool for observing all the information from different timeframes of BTC and altcoins collectively.
How the Calculation Works: Algorithm Overview
The Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection indicator relies on an algorithm that compares the RSI values of the altcoin across multiple timeframes with Bitcoin's RSI values. This allows the indicator to identify key market moments where a reversal or correction might occur.
BTC-Altcoin RSI Correlation: The algorithm looks for the correlation between Bitcoin's price movements and the altcoin's price actions, as BTC often influences the direction of altcoins. When both Bitcoin and the altcoin show either overbought or oversold conditions in a significant number of timeframes, the indicator signals the potential for a reversal or correction.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Unlike traditional indicators that may focus on a single timeframe, this tool checks multiple timeframes for both BTC and the altcoin. When the same overbought/oversold conditions are met across multiple timeframes, it confirms the likelihood of a trend reversal or correction, providing a more reliable signal. The more timeframes that align with this pattern, the stronger the signal becomes.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions & Extreme RSI Values: The algorithm also takes into account the size of the RSI values, especially focusing on extreme overbought and oversold levels. The greater the RSI values are in these extreme regions, the stronger the potential reversal or correction signal. This means that not only do multiple timeframes need to confirm the condition, but the magnitude of the overbought or oversold RSI level plays a crucial role in determining the strength of the signal.
Signal Strength Levels: The signals are classified into three levels:
Early Signal
Strong Signal
Very Strong Signal
By taking into account the multi-timeframe analysis of both BTC and the altcoin RSI values, along with the magnitude of these RSI values, the indicator offers a highly reliable method for detecting potential reversals and corrections.
Who Is This Indicator Suitable For?
This indicator can also be used to detect reversal points, but it is especially effective for scalping. It highlights potential correction points, making it perfect for quick entries during smaller market pullbacks or short-term trend shifts, which is more suitable for scalpers looking to capitalize on short-term movements
Integration with other tools
Use this tool alongside key Support and Resistance zones to further enhance your trade by filtering for even better quality entries and focusing only on high-quality reversal or correction setups. It can be also used with other indicators and suitable with other personalised strategies.
Parabolic RSI [ChartPrime]The Parabolic RSI indicator applies the Parabolic SAR directly to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) . This combination helps traders identify trend shifts and potential reversal points within the RSI framework. The indicator provides both regular and strong signals based on whether the Parabolic SAR crosses above or below key RSI thresholds.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Parabolic SAR Applied to RSI – Tracks momentum shifts within the RSI indicator.
Dynamic SAR Dots – Plots SAR levels directly on the RSI for visual clarity.
Threshold-Based Signal Filtering – Uses upper (70) and lower (30) RSI levels to determine strong signals.
Simple and Strong Signal System :
Big Diamonds (Strong Signals) – Appear when Parabolic SAR crosses above 70 or below 30 RSI, indicating potential reversals.
Small Diamonds (Regular Signals) – Appear when Parabolic SAR flips inside the RSI range, signaling weaker trend shifts.
Chart Overlay Signals – Highlights strong RSI-based trend shifts directly on the price chart.
Fully Customizable – Modify RSI length, SAR parameters, colors, and signal displays.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Look for strong signals (big diamonds) when SAR flips above 70 RSI (overbought) or below 30 RSI (oversold) for potential reversals.
Use regular signals (small diamonds) for minor trend shifts within the RSI range.
Combine with price action and other indicators to confirm entry and exit points.
Adjust the SAR acceleration factors to fine-tune sensitivity based on market conditions.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Parabolic RSI indicator merges trend-following and momentum-based analysis by applying the Parabolic SAR to RSI. This allows traders to detect trend shifts inside the RSI space with an intuitive diamond-based signal system . Whether used alone or as part of a broader trading strategy, this indicator provides a clear and structured approach to identifying momentum reversals and potential trading opportunities.

Stochastic Overlay - Regression Channel (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Stochastic Overlay – Regression Channel (Zeiierman) is a next-generation visualization tool that transforms the traditional Stochastic Oscillator into a dynamic price-based overlay.
Instead of leaving momentum trapped in a lower subwindow, this indicator projects the Stochastic oscialltor directly onto price itself — allowing traders to visually interpret momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and market strength without ever taking their eyes off price action.
⚪ In simple terms:
▸ The Bands = The Stochastic Oscillator — but on price.
▸ The Midline = Stochastic 50 level
▸ Upper Band = Stochastic Overbought Threshold
▸ Lower Band = Stochastic Oversold Threshold
When the price moves above the midline → it’s the same as the oscillator moving above 50
When the price breaks above the upper band → it’s the same as Stochastic entering overbought.
When the price reaches the lower band →, think of it like Stochastic being oversold.
This makes market conditions visually intuitive. You’re literally watching the oscillator live on the price chart.
█ How It Works
The indicator layers 3 distinct technical elements into one clean view:
⚪ Stochastic Momentum Engine
Tracks overbought/oversold conditions and directional strength using:
%K Line → Momentum of price
%D Line → Smoothing filter of %K
Overbought/Oversold Bands → Highlight potential reversal zones
⚪ Volatility Adaptive Bands
Dynamic bands plotted above and below price using:
ATR * Stochastic Scaling → Creates wider bands during volatile periods & tighter bands in calm conditions
Basis → Moving average centerline (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA selectable)
This means:
→ In strong trends: Bands expand
→ In consolidations: Bands contract
⚪ Regression Channel
Projects trend direction with different models:
Logarithmic → Captures non-linear growth (perfect for crypto or exponential stocks)
Linear → Classic regression fit
Adaptive → Dynamically adjusts sensitivity
Leading → Projects trend further ahead (aggressive mode)
Channels include:
Midline → Fair value trend
Upper/Lower Bounds → Deviation-based support/resistance
⚪ Heatmap - Bull & Bear Power Strength
Visual heatmeter showing:
% dominance of bulls vs bears (based on close > or < Band Basis)
Automatic normalization regardless of timeframe
Table display on-chart for quick visual insight
Dynamic highlighting when extreme levels are reached
⚪ Trend Candlestick Coloring
Bars auto-color based on trend filter:
Above Basis → Bullish Color
Below Basis → Bearish Color
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Trading
→ Use Band direction + Regression Channel to identify trend alignment
→ Longs favored when price holds above the Basis
→ Shorts favored when price stays below the Basis
→ Use the Bull & Bear heatmap to asses if the bulls or the bears are in control.
⚪ Mean Reversion
→ Look for price to interact with Upper or Lower Band extremes
→ Stochastic reaching OB/OS zones further supports reversals
⚪ Momentum Confirmation
→ Crossovers between %K and %D can confirm continuation or divergence signals
→ Especially powerful when happening at band boundaries
⚪ Strength Heatmap
→ Quickly visualize current buyer vs seller control
→ Sharp spikes in Bull Power = Aggressive buying
→ Sharp spikes in Bear Power = Heavy selling pressure
█ Why It Useful
This is not a typical Stochastic or regression tool. The tool is designed for traders who want to:
React dynamically to price volatility
Map momentum into volatility context
Use adaptive regression channels across trend styles
Visualize bull vs bear power in real-time
Follow trends with built-in reversal logic
█ Settings
Stochastic Settings
Stochastic Length → Period of calculation. Higher = smoother, Lower = faster signals.
%K Smoothing → Smooths the Stochastic line itself.
%D Smoothing → Smooths the moving average of %K for slower signals.
Stochastic Band
Band Length → Length of the Moving Average Basis.
Volatility Multiplier → Controls band width via ATR scaling.
Band Type → Choose MA type (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA).
Regression Channel
Regression Type → Logarithmic / Linear / Adaptive / Leading.
Regression Length → Number of bars for regression calculation.
Heatmap Settings
Heatmap Length → Number of bars to calculate bull/bear dominance.

VoluTility🌊 VoluTility forecasts trend exhaustion, breakout pressure, and structural inflection by measuring volatility within the effort stream. Built on the concept of ATR applied to volume, it doesn’t read raw volume — it reveals whether that volume is stable, chaotic, or compressing ahead of a move. The goal is to detect structural setups before they resolve. The lower the timeframe, the greater the alpha.
🧠 Core Logic
A zero-centered histogram shows the deviation of smoothed volume from its own volatility baseline. Positive bars indicate expansion; negative bars signal compression. Color reflects rate-of-change in volume volatility. Opacity tracks effort/result strength — showing when moves are real or hollow.
The overlaid ribbon (EMA vs HMA) highlights rhythm shifts. Orange fill signals real expansion; yellow shows decay or absorption. Together, they expose pre-breakout compression and exhaustion tails before price reacts.
🏗️ Structural Read
On the 1H BTC chart shown, price coils into a shallow pullback, compressing within a narrow range marked by shrinking candle bodies and muted wick aggression. A sudden expansion candle breaks the coil cleanly, with no immediate rejection or wick reversion. Price holds above the breakout pivot, establishing a baseline for structural acceptance and shifting bias toward continuation.
🔰 Zone Descriptions
🔴 Volatile blowout
🟠 Clean expansion
🟡 Passive or absorbed effort
🟢 Steady-state rhythm
🔵 Compression coil
🧐 Suggested Use
VoluTility is expressly designed as an overlay for sub-pane indicators, where it acts as a second-order rhythm map — exposing hidden structural pressure within volume or volatility streams. When paired with volume (like ZVOL or OBVX), it highlights when flow is expanding with intent versus fading into noise. When layered over volatility signals (like ATR Turbulence or WIRE), it reveals whether expansion has real effort behind it — or is just structural slack.
It pairs especially well with the Relative Directional Index (RDI), where its histogram and ribbon offer early exhaustion signals before traditional trend or momentum fades appear. On raw momentum tools, it acts as a filter: softening false breaks and confirming pressure-backed continuation.
Run on 15m or lower charts for early entry cues or breakout anticipation. On 1H charts, use it to validate compression resolution or detect fatigue before structure turns. It doesn’t react to price — it forecasts readiness.
RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.

Developed by FibonacciFlux, AFPS uniquely integrates a proprietary Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend engine (0.618, 1.618, 2.618 ratios) for harmonic volatility assessment, an Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) Channel providing dynamic market context, and a synergistic Multi-Timeframe (MTF) filter suite (RSI, MACD, Volume). This strategy transcends simple indicator combinations through its strict, multi-stage confluence validation logic. Historical simulations suggest that specific MTF filter configurations can yield exceptional performance metrics, potentially achieving Profit Factors exceeding 2.6 , indicative of institutional-level potential, while maintaining controlled risk under realistic trading parameters (managed equity risk, commission, slippage).

1. Introduction: Elevating Pullback Trading with Adaptive Confluence
Traditional pullback strategies often struggle with noise, false signals, and adapting to changing market dynamics. AFPS addresses these challenges by introducing a novel framework grounded in Fibonacci principles and adaptive logic. Instead of relying on static levels or single confirmations, AFPS seeks high-probability pullback entries within established trends by validating signals through a rigorous confluence of:
Harmonic Volatility Context: Understanding the trend's stability and potential turning points using the unique Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend.
Adaptive Market Structure: Assessing the prevailing trend regime via the AMA Channel.
Multi-Dimensional Confirmation: Filtering signals with lower-timeframe Momentum (RSI), Trend Alignment (MACD), and Market Conviction (Volume) using the MTF suite.
The objective is to achieve superior signal quality and adaptability, moving beyond conventional pullback methodologies.
2. Core Methodology: Synergistic Integration
AFPS's effectiveness stems from the engineered synergy between its core components:
2.1. Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend Engine: Utilizes specific Fibonacci ratios (0.618, 1.618, 2.618) applied to ATR, creating a multi-layered volatility envelope potentially resonant with market harmonics. The averaged and EMA-smoothed result (`smoothed_supertrend`) provides a robust, dynamic trend baseline and context filter.
// Key Components: Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend & Smoothing
average_supertrend = (supertrend1 + supertrend2 + supertrend3) / 3
smoothed_supertrend = ta.ema(average_supertrend, st_smooth_length)
2.2. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) Channel: Provides dynamic market context. The `ama_midline` serves as a key filter in the entry logic, confirming the broader trend bias relative to adaptive price action. Extended Fibonacci levels derived from the channel width offer potential dynamic S/R zones.
// Key Component: AMA Midline
ama_midline = (ama_high_band + ama_low_band) / 2
2.3. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Filter Suite: An optional but powerful validation layer (RSI, MACD, Volume) assessed on a lower timeframe. Acts as a **validation cascade** – signals must pass all enabled filters simultaneously.
2.4. High-Confluence Entry Logic: The core innovation. A pullback entry requires a specific sequence and validation:
Price interaction with `average_supertrend` and recovery above/below `smoothed_supertrend`.
Price confirmation relative to the `ama_midline`.
Simultaneous validation by all enabled MTF filters.
// Simplified Long Entry Logic Example (incorporates key elements)
long_entry_condition = enable_long_positions and
(low < average_supertrend and close > smoothed_supertrend) and // Pullback & Recovery
(close > ama_midline and close > ama_midline) and // AMA Confirmation
(rsi_filter_long_ok and macd_filter_long_ok and volume_filter_ok) // MTF Validation
This strict, multi-stage confluence significantly elevates signal quality compared to simpler pullback approaches.

3. Realistic Implementation and Performance Potential
AFPS is designed for practical application, incorporating realistic defaults and highlighting performance potential with crucial context:
3.1. Realistic Default Strategy Settings:
The script includes responsible default parameters:
strategy('Adaptive Fibonacci Pullback System - FibonacciFlux', shorttitle = "AFPS", ...,
initial_capital = 10000, // Accessible capital
default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity, // Equity-based risk
default_qty_value = 4, // Default 4% equity risk per initial trade
commission_type = strategy.commission.percent,
commission_value = 0.03, // Realistic commission
slippage = 2, // Realistic slippage
pyramiding = 2 // Limited pyramiding allowed
)
Note: The default 4% risk (`default_qty_value = 4`) requires careful user assessment and adjustment based on individual risk tolerance.
3.2. Historical Performance Insights & Institutional Potential:
Backtesting provides insights into historical behavior under specific conditions (always specify Asset/Timeframe/Dates when sharing results):
Default Performance Example: With defaults, historical tests might show characteristics like Overall PF ~1.38, Max DD ~1.16%, with potential Long/Short performance variance (e.g., Long PF 1.6+, Short PF < 1).
Optimized MTF Filter Performance: Crucially, historical simulations demonstrate that meticulous configuration of the MTF filters (particularly RSI and potentially others depending on market) can significantly enhance performance. Under specific, optimized MTF filter settings combined with appropriate risk management (e.g., 7.5% risk), historical tests have indicated the potential to achieve **Profit Factors exceeding 2.6**, alongside controlled drawdowns (e.g., ~1.32%). This level of performance, if consistently achievable (which requires ongoing adaptation), aligns with metrics often sought in institutional trading environments.
Disclaimer Reminder: These results are strictly historical simulations. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Achieving high performance requires careful parameter tuning, adaptation to changing markets, and robust risk management.
3.3. Emphasizing Risk Management:
Effective use of AFPS mandates active risk management. Utilize the built-in Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stop features. The `pyramiding = 2` setting requires particularly diligent oversight. Do not rely solely on default settings.
4. Conclusion: Advancing Trend Pullback Strategies
The Adaptive Fibonacci Pullback System (AFPS) offers a sophisticated, theoretically grounded, and highly adaptable framework for identifying and executing high-probability trend pullback trades. Its unique blend of Fibonacci resonance, adaptive context, and multi-dimensional MTF filtering represents a significant advancement over conventional methods. While requiring thoughtful implementation and risk management, AFPS provides discerning traders with a powerful tool potentially capable of achieving institutional-level performance characteristics under optimized conditions.

TrendSync Pro (SMC)📊 TrendSync Pro (SMC) – Advanced Trend-Following Strategy with HTF Alignment
Created by Shubham Singh
🔍 Strategy Overview
TrendSync Pro (SMC) is a precision-based smart trend-following strategy inspired by Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It combines: Real-time pivot-based trendline detection
Higher Time Frame (HTF) filtering to align trades with dominant trend
Risk management via adjustable Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP)
Directional control — trade only bullish, bearish, or both setups
Realistic backtesting using commissions and slippage
Pre-optimized profiles for scalpers, intraday, swing, and long-term traders
🧠 How It Works:
🔧 Strategy Settings Image:
beeimg.com
The strategy dynamically identifies trend direction by using swing high/low pivots. When a new pivot forms: It draws a trendline from the last significant pivot
Detects whether the trend is up (based on pivot lows) or down (based on pivot highs)
Waits for price to break above/below the trendline
Confirms with HTF price direction (HTF close > previous HTF close = bullish)
Only then it triggers a long or short trade
It exits either at TP, SL, or a manual trendline break
🛠️ Adjustable Parameters:
Trend Period: Length for pivot detection (affects sensitivity of trendlines)
HTF Timeframe: Aligns lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe direction
SL% and TP%: Customize your risk-reward profile
Commission & Slippage: Make backtests more realistic
Trade Direction: Choose to trade: Long only, Short only, or Both
🎛️ Trade Direction Control:
In settings, you can choose: Bullish Only: Executes only long entries
Bearish Only: Executes only short entries
Both: Executes both long and short entries when conditions are met
This allows you to align trades with your own market bias or external analysis.
📈 Entry Logic: Long Entry:
• Price crosses above trendline
• HTF is bullish (HTF close > previous close)
• Latest pivot is a low (trend is considered up)
Short Entry:
• Price crosses below trendline
• HTF is bearish (HTF close < previous close)
• Latest pivot is a high (trend is considered down)
📉 Exit Logic: Hit Take Profit or Stop Loss
Manual trendline invalidation: If price crosses opposite of the trend direction
⏰ Best Timeframes & Recommended Settings:
Scalping (1m to 5m):
HTF = 15m | Trend Period = 7
SL = 0.5% | TP = 1% to 2%
Intraday (15m to 30m):
HTF = 1H | Trend Period = 10–14
SL = 0.75% | TP = 2% to 3%
6 Hour Trading (30m to 1H):
HTF = 4H | Trend Period = 20
SL = 1% | TP = 4% to 6%
Swing Trading (4H to 1D):
HTF = 1D | Trend Period = 35
SL = 2% | TP = 8% to 12%
Long-Term Investing (1D+):
HTF = 1W | Trend Period = 50
SL = 3% | TP = 15%+
Note: These are recommended base settings. Adjust based on volatility, asset class, or personal trading style.
📸 Testing Note:
beeimg.com
TradingView limits test length to 20k bars (~40 trades on smaller timeframes). To show long-term results: Test on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D)

📍 Asset Behavior Insight:
This strategy works on multiple assets, including BTC, ETH, etc.
Performance varies by trend strength:
Sometimes BTC performs better than ETH
Other times ETH gives better results
That’s normal as both assets follow different volatility and trend behavior
It’s a trend-following setup. Longer and clearer the trend → better the results.
✅ Best Practices: Avoid ranging markets
Use proper SL/TP for each timeframe
Use directional filter if you already have a directional bias
Always forward test before going live

Uptrick X PineIndicators: Z-Score Flow StrategyThis strategy is based on the Z-Score Flow Indicator developed by Uptrick. Full credit for the original concept and logic goes to Uptrick.
The Z-Score Flow Strategy combines statistical mean-reversion logic with trend filtering, RSI confirmation, and multi-mode trade execution, offering a flexible and structured approach to trading both reversals and trend continuations.
Core Concepts Behind Z-Score Flow
1. Z-Score Mean Reversion Logic
The Z-score measures how far current price deviates from its statistical mean, in standard deviations.
A high positive Z-score (e.g. > 2) suggests price is overbought and may revert downward.
A low negative Z-score (e.g. < -2) suggests price is oversold and may revert upward.
The strategy uses Z-score thresholds to trigger signals when price deviates far enough from its mean.
2. Trend Filtering with EMA
To prevent counter-trend entries, the strategy includes a trend filter based on a 50-period EMA:
Only allows long entries if price is below EMA (mean-reversion in downtrends).
Only allows short entries if price is above EMA (mean-reversion in uptrends).
3. RSI Confirmation and Lockout System
An RSI smoothing mechanism helps confirm signals and avoid whipsaws:
RSI must be below 30 and rising to allow buys.
RSI must be above 70 and falling to allow sells.
Once a signal occurs, it is "locked out" until RSI re-enters the neutral zone (30–70).
This avoids multiple signals in overextended zones and reduces overtrading.
Entry Signal Logic
A buy or sell is triggered when:
Z-score crosses below (buy) or above (sell) the threshold.
RSI smoothed condition is met (oversold and rising / overbought and falling).
The trend condition (EMA filter) aligns.
A cooldown period has passed since the last opposite trade.
This layered approach helps ensure signal quality and timing precision.
Trade Modes
The strategy includes three distinct trade modes to adapt to various market behaviors:
1. Standard Mode
Trades are opened using the Z-score + RSI + trend filter logic.
Each signal must pass all layered conditions.
2. Zero Cross Mode
Trades are based on the Z-score crossing zero.
This mode is useful in trend continuation setups, rather than mean reversion.
3. Trend Reversal Mode
Trades occur when the mean slope direction changes, i.e., basis line changes color.
Helps capture early trend shifts with less lag.
Each mode can be customized for long-only, short-only, or long & short execution.
Visual Components
1. Z-Score Mean Line
The basis (mean) line is colored based on slope direction.
Green = bullish slope, Purple = bearish slope, Gray = flat.
A wide shadow band underneath reflects current trend momentum.
2. Gradient Fill to Price
A gradient zone between price and the mean reflects:
Price above mean = bearish zone with purple overlay.
Price below mean = bullish zone with teal overlay.
This visual aid quickly reveals market positioning relative to equilibrium.
3. Signal Markers
"𝓤𝓹" labels appear for buy signals.
"𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" labels appear for sell signals.
These are colored and positioned according to trend context.
Customization Options
Z-Score Period & Thresholds: Define sensitivity to price deviations.
EMA Trend Filter Length: Filter entries with long-term bias.
RSI & Smoothing Periods: Fine-tune RSI confirmation conditions.
Cooldown Period: Prevent signal spam and enforce timing gaps.
Slope Index: Adjust how far back to compare mean slope.
Visual Settings: Toggle mean lines, gradients, and more.
Use Cases & Strategy Strengths
1. Mean-Reversion Trading
Ideal for catching pullbacks in trending markets or fading overextended price moves.
2. Trend Continuation or Reversal
With multiple trade modes, traders can choose between fading price extremes or trading slope momentum.
3. Signal Clarity and Risk Control
The combination of Z-score, RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown logic provides high-confidence signals with built-in filters.
Conclusion
The Z-Score Flow Strategy by Uptrick X PineIndicators is a versatile and structured trading system that:
Fuses statistical deviation (Z-score) with technical filters.
Provides both mean-reversion and trend-based entry logic.
Uses visual overlays and signal labels for clarity.
Prevents noise-driven trades via cooldown and lockout systems.
This strategy is well-suited for traders seeking a data-driven, multi-condition entry framework that can adapt to various market types.
