Trend Following or Mean RevertingThe strategy checks nature of the instruments. It Buys if the close is greater than yesterday's high, reverse the position if the close is lower than yesterday's low and repeat the process.
1. If it is trend following then the equity curve will be in uptrend
2. If it is mean reverting then the equity curve will be downtrend

NCTA Trend BiasTrend Bias
The NCTA Trend Bias indicator is designed to show traders the overall directional bias of the market. It is excellent in short 1, 3, and 5 minute timeframes for futures traders and short term options traders. Longer timeframes such as the 5, 10, and 30 minute timeframes work well for options traders.
This indicator is used by displaying it twice on the chart. For 1, 3, and 5 minute charts, one of the Trend Bias indicators is set at Fast and the other is set at Medium.
For 30 min or higher charts, one Trend Bias Indicator is set at Medium and the other one is set at Slow.
The indicator consists of three trend lines; a fast signal, a medium signal, and a slow signal. There is a possible trade entry when the fast signal crosses either the medium and/or slow signals.
HOW TO USE: The most effective way to use this indicator is to have it displayed twice, using the settings described above for the relevant chart timeframe.
When both indicators show the fast line (blue line) crossing above the medium (red) or the slow (green) line, it implies an opportunity to go long or buy a call. When both indicators show the fast line crossing below the medium and/or slow line, it implies an opportunity to go short or buy a put.
The Trend Bias Indicator also provides a powerful directional bias entry when used in alignment with the Awesome Oscillator. Green AO aligned with a long Trend Bias entry or red AO aligned with a short Trend Bias entry.

Simply Trendy RasterChartThis is my "Simply Trendy RasterChart" using PSv4.0 freely available to ALL! Simply Trendy, shown with the multiple color schemes on the bottom portion of the chart, is an indicator that differentiates with color between trending moments up and down, but is also effective at identifying trend reversals clearly. The bottom of the indicator is most reactive and indicates reversals, while the upper portion of the indicator commonly shows enduring trends. I included a horizontal rule to approximately gauge at what level you may wish to have before entering/exiting a trade upon identifying a trend change. This gizmo functions on all assets on time frames ranging from one second bars up to the "All" chart having monthly bars. Possible uses are quickly identifying assets that are not only opportunistic towards buying, but also selling/shorting when that time arrives later.
I decided to release this freely so members can become familiar with how my RasterCharts function. However, it may serve as another tool in the trend analysis tool belt you may want to have. It's the most basic of RasterCharts that I may have, and it gives the user an opportunity to witness/grasp RasterChart fundamental theory and operation in real time. Underneath the hood, the code is truly VERY SIMPLE also, hence the entitled name given. This was originally an experiment that turned out to be impressive, exceeding my expectations of attempting it. It's behavior is similarly close to my "TrendSetter RasterChart" and may serve as a trainer before acquiring that, any other RasterCharts I have currently, or shall create in the future. With that said, I hope you find this "simply" handy , and I'm also wishful for it to potentially garner a "trendy" reputation among the many members who may discover it.
I provided multiple color schemes for those of you who may have color blindness vision impairments. You may contact me in private if these color schemes are not suitable for your diagnosed visual impairment, and you would wish to contribute to seeing the color schemes improved along with other future indicators I shall release.
Features List Includes:
"Color Scheme" selection (all displayed above)
"RasterChart Transparency" control
"Source" selection
"Horizontal Rule" adjustment

Pivot Reversal Strategy - FIGS & DATES 2.0Simple Pivot Reversal Strategy with some adding settings.
Date Range: To test over specific market conditions.
Initial Capitol: $10K - This is a more realistic representation of funds used this strategy (for me anyway). The default of $100K can give different results (usually better) than when using a smaller balance.
Order Size: 100% Equity - These trend following strategies typically used this way, going all in each direction.
Commission: .075% - It's always disheartening to think you've found a ridiculously good setting, and then realize you forgot to add the commission.
All of these settings can be changed, but it's easier for me (and more fool proof) to have them set as default.
NCTA Cycle FinderCycle Finder
The NCTA Cycle Finder is one of three technical indicators that are part of the Profit Flow Analytics.
New Cycle Trading and Analytics is a group of traders creating market analytics for traders. The objective is to take complex combinations of multiple technical pattern indicators and present to the trader a simple, single entry signal.
The NCTA Cycle Finder is designed to identify the beginning of new, trending cycles. It is excellent in short 1, 3, and 5 minute timeframes for futures traders and short term options traders. Longer timeframes such as the 5, 10, and 30 minute timeframes work well for options traders.
This indicator consists of a simple, single entry indicator designed to provide an entry very close to the shift on the intra-day cycle. It provides a warning that a cycle shift may be coming by printing a grey bar. Bars above the zero line imply a possible new long cycle developing. Grey bars below the zero line imply a possible new short cycle is developing.
Once the indicator has confirmed a new cycle is developing, a dark blue or red bar will print. Dark blue above the zero line is the trader’s signal to go long. A dark red signal below the zero line is the traders signal to go short. The indicator is designed to filter out false signals and provide the trader with an optimum timing of capturing an entry/exit very close to the beginning / ending of a cycle.
Using the NCTA Cycle Finder, the Profit Flow Oscillator, and Trend Consensus indicators together, offers traders an opportunity to lock in profits and enter the same trending cycle more than one time. This is an excellent opportunity to open trend continuation trades. The NCTA Cycle Finder is excellent when used across more than one timeframe to confirm alignment. For example, monitoring the 5 minute signals and confirming alignment with the 1 minute chart improves the probability of entering a profitable trade.
HOW TO USE: Use the grey bar prints to be ready for a signal and the possible direction. Go long when a blue bar appears and go short when a red bar appears. The print of these signals very closely identify the beginning of a new cycle

Multi-Pair Trend Reversal WidgetThis is a multi-currency-pair trend reversal widget, which picks currency pairs by overbought/oversold level and can be used in pair trading strategy. It shows tradable currency pairs as well as anticipates corresponding trend direction. Currency pairs (CPs) are ordered by importance. The first 5 CPs are highlighted (with blue bars) as majors. The additional 5 CPs are minors (in gray bars) and may be omitted. Orange star indicates crossover of the middle line, the mean, with red and green stars being early warning signals of a forthcoming uptrend and downtrend, correspondingly.
Mind that this widget is computationally intensive, having to calculate 10 assets. Nonetheless, please look at it as my proposal for future developments of Pinescript, i.e. embedding widgets in the chart. ;)

VWMA Trend FilterHere's a simple tool for determining long term trend direction using two Volume Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA). The VWMA's emphasis on volume often makes it a better measurement for trend direction than the more popular Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Trend direction is determined by comparing a fast and slow VWMA. The default length for the fast VWMA is 50 periods, while the slow uses a default length of 200. Both of these lengths can be modified in the input options menu. The default source for the VWMA's is HLC3((high + low + close) / 3).
If the fast VWMA is greater than the slow VWMA, then the trend is bullish and the background color is green. If the fast VWMA is less than the slow VWMA, then it is bearish and the background color is red.
We included an option to change the candle color based on whether the VWMA's indicate a bullish or bearish trend as well.
Overall, this is one of those utility tools that we like to use as an overlay over the main price chart and in conjunction with other signal generating indicators. Its purpose isn't to generate buy and sell signals, but it works well as a visual confirmation tool to help traders gauge trend direction.

Vortex Trend TrackerThough it may sound complex, the Vortex Indicator is essentially an uptrend line and a downtrend line. The vortex indicator can be used for a variety of purposes, including tracking the strength of trends, identifying/anticipating reversals, and generating entry/exit signals. It’s calculation is shown in the open-source code below.
To reduce the number of whipsaws produced by the indicator, we used an Exponential Moving Average of vmPlus and vmNegative values with a default length of 10. Decreasing this length will result in a more responsive vortex at the cost of more whipsaws and false signals.
The chart shows the absolute value of the difference between the uptrend and downtrend line displayed as the main histogram.
If the uptrend line is greater than the downtrend (thus indicating positive movement), then the histogram bars will be either light green or dark green. If the uptrend line has just now crossed the downtrend line, then the bar will be dark green. Bars will also be dark green when the uptrend line is greater than the downtrend line and the uptrend line is increasing. This means the trend is increasing in strength still. If the uptrend line is greater than the downtrend line, but is decreasing, then the bars will be light green. This means that the upwards trend is losing strength.
If the downtrend line is greater than the uptrend line, then there is a negative trend occurring and the bars will be either red or light red. If the downtrend line has just crossed over the uptrend line or is increasing in value, then the bar will be red. If the downtrend line is greater than the uptrend line, but is decreasing in value, then the bars will be light red (meaning the downtrend is weakening).
One way to trade using this vortex is to enter a long position when the bar color changes from red to light red. This would mean that the downtrend is decreasing in strength and an upwards reversal is likely to occur soon. Then, traders can exit their long position when the bars change from dark green to light green. When that color change occurs it means that the uptrend is running out of steam and price is unlikely to continue its upwards climb.
Traders can also choose to have the uptrend and downtrend lines plotted as well in the input menu. This may make it easier to visualize the Vortex and its usefulness in identifying reversals.
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.

Volume ImpactVolume Impact (The area)
Average Volume (The thick line, xTrigger)
Volume Impact = Volume Chance - Average Volume
It provides very reliable buy sell signals. Buy(green) when increasing, sell(red) when decreasing. Volume Impact might drop before the actual price so it has an early warning potential.
Before trend changes volume average diverges from the prices. It moves reverse to the prices.
Also before trend changes, volume impact peaks diverges from price peaks. So you know a big drop is coming.
Klinger Volume Oscillator inspired this indicator... This data is there but it is more difficult to interpret.
In summary, you can foresee trend changes.
Ultimate Trend Analyzer by HypesterTrading is not all about scalping/day trading. To have a healthy and diversified portfolio, you should always have some trending long term assets to mitigate risks and keep your wallet always on the green side.
That's why Hypester once again innovates with the Ultimate Trend Analyzer. With the UTA you can check the trend's health with one glance.
Do not fool yourself, the Ultimate Trend Analyzer offers different trading profiles, so it doesn't matter what kind of trading you are doing, from long positions to intraday scalping - UTA can quickly adapt with one click. UTA offers Swing/Longterm, Day Trading and Scalping profile.
It also has two correlation methods, volume, and price. So you can decide what you want to prioritize most.
Not only that, there are two smoothing methods, linear regression and symmetrical averaging so you can remove noises from your indicator line.
The UTA offers you insight about the trend's health, just by looking at the background color, the stronger the color, stronger the trend. So higher up it is, stronger the uptrend is. The lower it is, stronger the downtrend.
Nevertheless, the UTA also gives you insight within trend corrections and peaks and bottoms with the indicator line color. So if you have a bullish trend and you see an orange line color, it means that direction is changing and you will observe a line color change, which means the course is now bearish even though the overall trend is going up. This feature is great for swing/scalp trading looking at the big picture.
TFTF is an algorithm that solves one of the big unknowns of any trader, the direction where the prices of the asset will go.
TF is based on the analysis of sentiment and other macro economic factors that influence the evolution of present and future prices of almost any asset.
The algorithm performs the necessary calculations and draws a a lower indicator of green or red bar. In this way alerts a future evolution of prices. As soon as that bar goes from green to red or vice versa, it indicates that prices are going to fall or rise respectively and as long as the indicator bar continues in the same color it indicates that the trend is still strong. This is a dynamic indicator and can change the alert regardless of whether the candle has closed or not.
TF must be used in conjunction with other indicators of your preference to find the right time to go long or short, or to find levels of overbought or oversold, support or resistance levels, Fibonacci or those of your preference to find the best points of entry or exit. In short TF allows to resolve the doubt in which side of the trade I must place, whether to go long or short.
It can be used in any type of asset, Stock, Futures, Forex or Crypto and in almost any time frame. The greater the volatility of the asset, the timeframe may be shorter.
