Turtle Trading System + ATR Trailing StopIndicator Description: Turtle ATR Trailing Stop
The **Turtle ATR Trailing Stop** is a technical indicator designed to enhance the classic Turtle Trading System by incorporating a dynamic trailing stop based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to manage risk and lock in profits on both long and short positions in trending markets.
Key Features:
- Turtle Trading Levels: Calculates the 20-day highest high and lowest low to identify potential breakout points, a core principle of the Turtle Trading System.
- ATR-Based Trailing Stop: Utilizes a trailing stop that adjusts dynamically based on a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 2.0), providing a volatility-adjusted exit mechanism.
- Position Flexibility: Supports both long and short positions, with the trailing stop positioned below the highest price for long trades and above the lowest price for short trades.
- Smooth Updates: The trailing stop updates on each bar, ensuring a more responsive adjustment to price movements, rather than only on new highs or lows.
- Reset Mechanism: Automatically resets the trailing stop when the price deviates significantly (configurable threshold, default 0.1%), adapting to major trend reversals.
- Alerts: Includes customizable alerts that trigger when the price reaches the trailing stop level, notifying traders of potential exit points.
- Debugging Tools: Features an on-chart debug table displaying ATR, Close, Highest Price, Lowest Price, Potential Stop, and Trailing Stop values for real-time analysis.
How It Works:
- For **Long Positions**: The trailing stop starts below the initial close price (minus 2*ATR) and moves up as the highest price increases, locking in profits while trailing at a fixed ATR distance.
- For **Short Positions**: The trailing stop starts above the initial close price (plus 2*ATR) and moves down as the lowest price decreases, protecting against upward price movements.
- The stop resets if the price falls (for long) or rises (for short) beyond the set threshold, ensuring adaptability to new market conditions.
Customization:
- Period Settings: Adjust the length for highs/lows (default 20) and ATR period (default 14).
- ATR Multiplier: Modify the distance of the trailing stop (default 2.0).
- Reset Threshold: Fine-tune the percentage at which the stop resets (default 0.1%).
- Position Type: Switch between "Long" and "Short" modes via input settings.
Usage:
Apply this indicator to any chart in TradingView, set your preferred parameters, and monitor the trailing stop line (yellow) alongside the Turtle highs (red) and lows (blue). Use the debug table to validate calculations and set alerts to stay informed of stop triggers.
This indicator combines the trend-following strength of the Turtle System with a flexible, ATR-based stop-loss strategy, making it a powerful tool for both manual and automated trading strategies.
Volatilidade
JXMJXRS - Retest Entry ZonesThis indicator identifies directional breakout retest zones based on structural price levels. It is built for traders who look for secondary entry opportunities after breakouts—often referred to as "retest entries." It is particularly suited to crypto markets and other volatile assets where breakout-retest behavior is frequent and tradable.
The indicator monitors recent price structure and identifies breakouts above or below key levels using a configurable lookback window. When a breakout occurs, it automatically plots a colored zone in the direction of the move:
Green zones are plotted after bullish breakouts (potential long retest areas).
Red zones are plotted after bearish breakouts (potential short retest areas).
Each zone persists on the chart for a defined number of bars before being removed to maintain visual clarity.
Settings
Range Lookback:
Defines how many bars are used to determine recent highs and lows. This controls the structural levels the script uses to detect a breakout. Higher values filter out minor breakouts and only react to more significant price moves.
Zone Height (%):
Sets the vertical size of the retest zone as a percentage of the breakout candle's close. A larger value produces wider zones and increases the chance of price re-entering the zone.
Zone Duration (bars):
Determines how long each zone remains visible after the breakout. After the specified number of bars, the zone is automatically removed. This helps prevent clutter and keeps focus on recent, actionable retest opportunities.
The indicator works across all timeframes and does not repaint. It is best used in trending environments or during volatile market phases where breakouts are likely to lead to continuation.
Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)
This indicator models potential stop sweep zones based on institutional capital ranges, helping traders visualize where high-probability liquidity grabs are likely to occur.
Unlike traditional volatility bands, this tool estimates price movement by calculating how far a specific amount of capital—entered into the market—can push price. By defining a lower and upper capital range (in millions of USD), the indicator dynamically draws bands representing the distance institutions could realistically move price in either direction.
It supports directional control, allowing you to focus on long sweeps, short sweeps, or both simultaneously. The pip cost is auto-calibrated based on the selected currency pair, making it highly adaptive to major FX pairs.
Key Features:
-Capital input range (in millions of USD)
-Directional sweep targeting: Long, Short, or Both
-Auto-detection of pip value based on FX pair
-Visual sweep zone mapped above and below current price
-Designed to highlight areas of institutional stop hunts
Why use it?
-Helps avoid setting stops inside common sweep zones
-Improves trade survivability when paired with higher timeframe strategies
-Offers a unique way to view price through an institutional lens

This is an indicator which I use, have tested, tweaked and added features to for use in my trend following investing system. I got the idea for it when for some reason I was looking for a dynamic reference to measure the height of a channel or something. In search of this I made MA’s of the high and low borders of a Donchian channel which turned out to be two near parallel and stunningly smooth curves. This visual was so appealing that I immediately tried to turn it into a replacement for the KeltCOG which I previously used in my system. First I created a curve in the middle of the upper and lower curves, which I called COG (Center Of Gravity). Then I decided to enter only one lookback and let the script create a Donchian channel with half the lookback and use this to create the curves with an MA of whole lookback. For this reason the minimum lookback is set to 14, enough room for the Donchian Channel of 7 periods. This Donchian ChanneI has a special way of calculating the borders, involving a 5 period Median value. Thanks to this these borders are really a resistance and support level, which won’t change at a whim, e.g. when a ‘dead cat bounce’ occurs. I prevented the Donchian channel to show itself between the curves and only pop out from behind these. These pop outs now function as “strong trend zones”. I gave it colors (blue:-strong up, green: moderate up, orange: moderate down, red: strong down, near COG: gray, curves horizontal: gray) and it looked very appealing. I tested it in different time frames. In some weekend, when I was bored, I observed for a few hours the minute chart of bitcoin. It turned out that you can reliably tell that an uptrend ends when the candles go under the COG beginning a downtrend. Uptrend starts again once the candles go above COG. As Trends on minute charts only last around half an hour, this entertainment made the potential of this indicator very clear to me in just one afternoon.
Risk Management, Safe Level and Logical Stops.
In the inputs are settings for “Risk Tolerance”, and to activate “Show Logical Stop Level” (activated in example chart) and “Show Safe Level”. As a rule of thump a trade should not expose the invested capital to a risk of losing more than 2 percent. I divided my investment capital in ten equal parts which are allocated to ten different stocks or other instruments or kept liquid. This means that when a position is closed by triggering a Stop with a loss of 20 percent, the invested capital suffers only 2 percent (20% x 10% = 2%). This is why the value for “Risk Tolerance” has a default of 20. Because I put my Stops on the lower curve, a “Safe Level” can be calculated such that when you buy for a price below or at this level, the stop will protect the position sufficiently. Because I only buy when the instrument is in uptrend, the buying price should be between COG and Safe Level. Although I never do that, putting the stop at other curves is feasible and when you want to widen the stop (I never lower my stops btw) in a downtrend situation, even 1 ATR below the “Low Border”. I call these “Logical Stop Levels”, marked with dark green circles on the lower curve when safe buying by placing the Stoploss on this curve is possible, gray circles on the other curves, on the Upper Curve navy when price enters very profitable level. In a downtrend situation maroon circles appear.
Target lines
When I open a position I always set a Stoploss and a Target, for this purpose two types of Target values can be set and corresponding Target lines activated. These lines are drawn above the “High Border” at the set distance. If one expects some price to be used, differences will occur.
Other Features
Support Zone, this is 1 ATR below the “Low Border”, the maroon circles of the “Logal Stops” are placed on this “Support level”.
Stop distance and Channel Width. (activated in example chart) These are reported in a two cell table in the right lower corner of the main panel. I created this because I want to be able to check the volatility, whether the channel shows a situation in which safe buying in most levels of the channel is possible or what risk you take when you buy now and set the Stop at the nearest logical level (which is not always the “Lower curve”). This feature comes in handy for creating a setup I propose in the “Day Trading Fantasy” below.
Some General and User Settings. I never activate this, perhaps you will.
Use Of TrendZones In My System.
Create a list of stocks in uptrend. I define ‘stock in uptrend’ as in uptrend zone in all three monthly, weekly and daily charts, all three should at the same time be in uptrend. The advantage of TrendZones is that you can immediately see in which zone the candle moves.
Opening a position in a stock from the above list. I do this only when in both the daily and weekly the green dot on the lower curve indicates a buying opportunity. This is usually not the case in most of the items of the list, this feature thus provides a good timing for opening a position. Sometimes you need to wait a few weeks for this to happen.
Setting a target over a position. For this I use the Target percent line of the weekly chart with the default value of 10.
Updating the Stoploss and Target values. Every week or two weeks I set these to the new values of the “Lower Curve” and the Target line of the weekly. Attention: never shift down Stops, only up or let them stay the same when the curve moves down. I never use Stop levels on other curves.
I Check the charts whenever I like to do this. Close the position when the uptrend obviously shifts down. Otherwise I let the profits run until the Target triggers which closes the position with some profit.
For selecting stocks an checking charts for volume events, I also use a subpanel indicator called “TZanalyser”, which borrows the visual of my “Fibonacci Zone Oscillator”, is based on TrendZones and includes code from my REVE indicators. I intend to publish that as well.
Day Trading Fantasy.
Day trading is an attempt to earn a dime by opening a position in the morning and close it during the day again with a profit (or a loss). Before the market closes, you close all day trading positions.
In my fantasy the “Logical Stop Level” is repurposed for use as entry point and the ATR-based Target line is used to provide a target setting in an intraday chart, like e.g. 15 minute. To do this the “Safe Level” should be limited to between Channel width and COG. This can be done by showing “Safe Level” and “Channel Width” and then set “Risk Tolerance” to around the shown Channel Width. In this setting you can then wait for the green circle to show up for entering your trade and protect it with the stop.
I don’t know if this works fine or if it’s better than other day trade systems, because I don’t do day trading.
Take care and have fun.
ATR Trailing + Alerts + Price LabelsATR Trend is a clean and intelligent trend-following overlay built for traders who want clarity during both trending and ranging markets.
This indicator dynamically detects bullish and bearish market trends using the Average True Range (ATR), applying a confirmation-based approach to filter out false signals and minor pullbacks.
The trend line is:
Blue 🔵 during uptrends.
Black ⚫ during downtrends.
Continuous, recalculating only when the market truly shifts — not just when price temporarily crosses the line.
When a confirmed trend reversal occurs:
A 🔼 or 🔽 label shows the exact price of the flip.
An alert can be triggered to notify the user immediately.
💡 Features:
✅ Single-line trend direction
✅ Filters out short-term noise
✅ Exact price labeling on trend change
✅ Built-in alerts for up/down trend shifts
⚙️ Inputs:
ATR Period – Length of ATR calculation (default: 14)
ATR Multiplier – Offset for trend line placement (default: 2.0)
Flip Sensitivity – Number of bars required to confirm a trend reversal (default: 3)
This tool is suitable for:
Swing traders avoid false breakouts
Scalpers looking for high-probability trend entries
Algorithmic setups requiring structured trend logic
JXMJXRS - Volume ShiftJXMJXRS - Volume Shift is a volume-based indicator designed to detect significant volume spikes that occur directly after periods of price compression. These moments often precede breakouts, traps, or liquidity events—especially in crypto markets. The indicator is optimized for use on low to mid-range timeframes such as 15-minute to 4-hour charts.
The logic is simple and effective: if current volume exceeds a dynamically calculated percentile of recent volume history, and recent price candles have shown a period of reduced movement (low body size), a signal is plotted below the candle. This helps filter out random volume surges and highlights moments that may reflect meaningful market participation.
How it works:
Volume Spike Detection
The indicator compares the current candle’s volume to a historical window. A volume spike is confirmed when the current volume exceeds the specified percentile (e.g., 80th percentile) of volume from the previous N candles.
Candle Body Compression
It calculates the average body size of recent candles (short-term) and compares it to a longer-term body average. If the short-term bodies are smaller by a configurable ratio, the price is considered compressed—suggesting low activity before the spike.
Signal Logic
When both conditions are met on the same candle, the indicator displays a “!” label below the bar. This does not indicate a buy or sell signal, but rather marks a moment worth observing for potential expansion in volatility.
Settings:
Volume Lookback:
The number of previous candles used to evaluate the volume percentile. A higher value makes the spike condition stricter.
Volume Percentile (0–100):
Sets the threshold for abnormal volume. For example, 80 means “current volume must be higher than 80% of the past X candles.”
Short-Term Body Avg:
Number of candles used to measure recent candle body size, representing the current price activity range.
Long-Term Body Avg:
Baseline window to calculate typical body size for comparison.
Compression Ratio:
The short-term body average must be less than this ratio times the long-term average to be considered compressed. Lower values increase the compression requirement.
This tool is designed to enhance market awareness by detecting moments of sudden volume expansion following quiet market conditions. It should be used in assist with your broader trading system or strategy.

Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum# **Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum (VCPM) Indicator**
## **🔍 Overview**
Introducing the **Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum (VCPM)**, a sophisticated dual-metric indicator designed to identify high-probability momentum moves by analyzing the relationship between price action and volume dynamics. This indicator combines correlation analysis with volume strength validation to filter out weak signals and highlight institutional-backed movements.
---
## **⚙️ Core Mechanics**
**Price-Volume Correlation Engine:**
- Calculates real-time correlation between price movements and volume
- Configurable lookback period (default: 8 bars)
- Option to use price changes or absolute values
- Correlation range: -1.0 (perfect negative) to +1.0 (perfect positive)
**Volume Strength Analyzer:**
- Compares current volume against its moving average (default: 128 periods)
- Normalizes volume ratio to 0-1 scale for consistent interpretation
- Identifies when volume significantly exceeds historical norms
---
## **📊 Signal Generation**
### **🟢 Bullish Confirmation Signal**
**Trigger:** Positive correlation > 0.6 + Volume ratio > 0.5
- Price and volume moving in harmony upward
- Above-average volume confirms the move
- Indicates strong institutional buying interest
### **🔴 Bearish Confirmation Signal**
**Trigger:** Negative correlation < -0.6 + Volume ratio > 0.5
- Price declining with increasing volume
- Suggests distribution or institutional selling
- High-confidence bearish momentum
---
## **🎯 Trading Applications**

JXMJXRS - Anchor Bias ToolThe Anchor Bias Tool is a precision-based market structure tool designed to help traders visually quantify bias from any significant market event. Rather than relying on subjective trendlines or reactive signals, this tool lets you define a specific candle. Typically tied to a news event, breakout, or key swing point and then monitor how price behaves from that point forward.
You set an anchor candle using a specific date and time (UTC). The tool draws a horizontal anchor line at the closing price of that candle, calculates real-time price deviation from that level as a percentage, and then identifies whether price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral zone based on how far it has moved from the anchor. This creates a clear, objective method for assessing whether the market is following through on an event or fading it.
Anchor Time (UTC) -
Define the exact candle you want to anchor from typically a reaction to a news event, breakout, or structural shift. All bias calculations begin from this candle’s closing price.
Bias Threshold (%) -
Sets how far price must move away from the anchor to be considered a valid directional bias. For example, 2.0% means price must be at least 2% above or below the anchor to enter bullish or bearish territory.
Show Bias Zones -
Toggles visual background shading on the chart. Green represents bullish bias, red for bearish. Helping you quickly identify where the market stands relative to the anchor.
Show Bias Labels -
Enables or disables the live label showing current bias (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral) along with the real-time % deviation from the anchor level
Signalgo XSignalgo X
Signalgo X is a sophisticated indicator crafted for traders who demand a disciplined, multi-layered approach to market analysis and trade management. This overview will help you understand its capabilities, logic, and how it can elevate your trading.
Core Concept
Signalgo X is built to:
Scan multiple timeframes simultaneously for price, volume, and volatility patterns.
Filter out unreliable signals during periods of market hype or manipulation.
Automate trade management with dynamic take-profit (TP), stop-loss (SL), and trailing logic.
Deliver actionable, visual signals and alerts for timely, confident decisions.
Inputs & Controls
Preset System Parameters:
News Sensitivity: Determines how responsive the indicator is to price moves.
Hype Filter Strength: Sets how aggressively the system avoids volatile, manipulated, or news-driven periods.
User-Configurable:
Show TP/SL Logic: Turn on/off the display of take-profit and stop-loss levels directly on your chart.
How Signalgo X Works
1. Multi-Timeframe Market Analysis
Signalgo X continuously monitors:
Closing price
Trading volume
Volatility (ATR)
across six distinct timeframes, from 1 hour to 3 months. This layered approach ensures that signals are validated by both short-term momentum and long-term trends.
2. Price, Volume, and Volatility Synthesis
Price Change: The system tracks percentage changes over each timeframe to gauge momentum.
Volume Ratio: By comparing current volume to a moving average, it detects unusual spikes that may signal institutional activity or manipulation.
Volatility: Measures the intensity of price movements relative to average ranges, helping to identify breakout or exhaustion scenarios.
3. Proprietary Anti-Hype Filter
A unique scoring mechanism evaluates:
Volume spikes without corresponding price action
Sudden jumps in volatility
Conflicting signals across timeframes
Social hype proxies (e.g., sharp moves on low volume)
If the market is deemed “hyped,” all trading signals are suppressed and a clear warning is shown, keeping you out of unpredictable conditions.
4. Signal Classification & Mapping
Significant Moves: Only price actions that exceed a sensitivity threshold and are confirmed by volume/volatility are considered.
Bullish/Bearish Signals: Generated for each timeframe.
Signal Strength: Categorized as regular, or strong based on multi-timeframe agreement.
Entry & Exit Strategy
Entry Logic
Long (Buy) Entry: Triggered when bullish signals are detected (of any strength) and no hype is present.
Short (Sell) Entry: Triggered when bearish signals are detected and no hype is present.
Exit & Trade Management
Stop Loss (SL): Placed at a calculated distance from entry, adapting to recent volatility.
Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3): Three profit targets, each at a greater reward multiple.
Trailing Stop: After the first take-profit is hit, the stop-loss moves to breakeven and a trailing stop is activated to protect further gains.
Event Tracking: The indicator visually marks when each TP or SL is hit, providing real-time feedback.
Chart Plots: All relevant SL, TP, and trailing stop levels are clearly marked for both long and short trades.
Labels: Entry, exit, and signal strength events are color-coded and visually prominent.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions allow you to set up TradingView notifications for strong/regular buy/sell signals and hype warnings.

ATR > VXN Alert (5m)ATR > VXN Volatility Divergence Indicator
This custom TradingView indicator monitors real-time volatility divergence between realized volatility (via Average True Range, ATR) and implied volatility (via the CBOE NASDAQ Volatility Index, VXN). It is inspired by the GJR-GARCH (Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model, which captures asymmetric volatility dynamics—particularly how markets respond more sharply to negative shocks than to positive ones.
Core Logic:
Chart on NQ (5 minute timeframe)
ATR (5-min) reflects realized intraday volatility of the Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ).
VXN (5-min, delayed) represents forward-looking implied volatility.
The indicator highlights regime shifts in volatility:
ATR < VXN: Volatility compression → potential energy building up (market coiling).
ATR > VXN: Volatility expansion → real movement exceeds expectations → potential breakout zone.
Visuals & Alerts:
Background turns green when ATR crosses above VXN, signaling a bullish expansion regime.
Background turns red when ATR drops below VXN, signaling compression or risk-off environment.
Custom alerts trigger on volatility regime shifts for breakout traders.
Application (Manual GJR-GARCH Strategy):
Similar to how the GJR-GARCH model captures volatility clustering and asymmetry, this indicator identifies when actual price volatility (ATR) begins to spike beyond implied forecasts (VXN), often after periods of contraction—mirroring a conditional variance shock in the GARCH framework.
Traders can align with directional bias using technical confluence (order flow, structure breaks, liquidity zones) once expansion is confirmed.

VoVix DEVMA🌌 VoVix DEVMA: A Deep Dive into Second-Order Volatility Dynamics
Welcome to VoVix+, a sophisticated trading framework that transcends traditional price analysis. This is not merely another indicator; it is a complete system designed to dissect and interpret the very fabric of market volatility. VoVix+ operates on the principle that the most powerful signals are not found in price alone, but in the behavior of volatility itself. It analyzes the rate of change, the momentum, and the structure of market volatility to identify periods of expansion and contraction, providing a unique edge in anticipating major market moves.
This document will serve as your comprehensive guide, breaking down every mathematical component, every user input, and every visual element to empower you with a profound understanding of how to harness its capabilities.
🔬 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION: THE MATHEMATICS OF MARKET DYNAMICS
VoVix+ is built upon a multi-layered mathematical engine designed to measure what we call "second-order volatility." While standard indicators analyze price, and first-order volatility indicators (like ATR) analyze the range of price, VoVix+ analyzes the dynamics of the volatility itself. This provides insight into the market's underlying state of stability or chaos.
1. The VoVix Score: Measuring Volatility Thrust
The core of the system begins with the VoVix Score. This is a normalized measure of volatility acceleration or deceleration.
Mathematical Formula:
VoVix Score = (ATR(fast) - ATR(slow)) / (StDev(ATR(fast)) + ε)
Where:
ATR(fast) is the Average True Range over a short period, representing current, immediate volatility.
ATR(slow) is the Average True Range over a longer period, representing the baseline or established volatility.
StDev(ATR(fast)) is the Standard Deviation of the fast ATR, which measures the "noisiness" or consistency of recent volatility.
ε (epsilon) is a very small number to prevent division by zero.
Market Implementation:
Positive Score (Expansion): When the fast ATR is significantly higher than the slow ATR, it indicates a rapid increase in volatility. The market is "stretching" or expanding.
Negative Score (Contraction): When the fast ATR falls below the slow ATR, it indicates a decrease in volatility. The market is "coiling" or contracting.
Normalization: By dividing by the standard deviation, we normalize the score. This turns it into a standardized measure, allowing us to compare volatility thrust across different market conditions and timeframes. A score of 2.0 in a quiet market means the same, relatively, as a score of 2.0 in a volatile market.
2. Deviation Analysis (DEV): Gauging Volatility's Own Volatility
The script then takes the analysis a step further. It calculates the standard deviation of the VoVix Score itself.
Mathematical Formula:
DEV = StDev(VoVix Score, lookback_period)
Market Implementation:
This DEV value represents the magnitude of chaos or stability in the market's volatility dynamics. A high DEV value means the volatility thrust is erratic and unpredictable. A low DEV value suggests the change in volatility is smooth and directional.
3. The DEVMA Crossover: Identifying Regime Shifts
This is the primary signal generator. We take two moving averages of the DEV value.
Mathematical Formula:
fastDEVMA = SMA(DEV, fast_period)
slowDEVMA = SMA(DEV, slow_period)
The Core Signal:
The strategy triggers on the crossover and crossunder of these two DEVMA lines. This is a profound concept: we are not looking at a moving average of price or even of volatility, but a moving average of the standard deviation of the normalized rate of change of volatility.
Bullish Crossover (fastDEVMA > slowDEVMA): This signals that the short-term measure of volatility's chaos is increasing relative to the long-term measure. This often precedes a significant market expansion and is interpreted as a bullish volatility regime.
Bearish Crossunder (fastDEVMA < slowDEVMA): This signals that the short-term measure of volatility's chaos is decreasing. The market is settling down or contracting, often leading to trending moves or range consolidation.
⚙️ INPUTS MENU: CONFIGURING YOUR ANALYSIS ENGINE
Every input has been meticulously designed to give you full control over the strategy's behavior. Understanding these settings is key to adapting VoVix+ to your specific instrument, timeframe, and trading style.
🌀 VoVix DEVMA Configuration
🧬 Deviation Lookback: This sets the lookback period for calculating the DEV value. It defines the window for measuring the stability of the VoVix Score. A shorter value makes the system highly reactive to recent changes in volatility's character, ideal for scalping. A longer value provides a smoother, more stable reading, better for identifying major, long-term regime shifts.
⚡ Fast VoVix Length: This is the lookback period for the fastDEVMA. It represents the short-term trend of volatility's chaos. A smaller number will result in a faster, more sensitive signal line that reacts quickly to market shifts.
🐌 Slow VoVix Length: This is the lookback period for the slowDEVMA. It represents the long-term, baseline trend of volatility's chaos. A larger number creates a more stable, slower-moving anchor against which the fast line is compared.
How to Optimize: The relationship between the Fast and Slow lengths is crucial. A wider gap (e.g., 20 and 60) will result in fewer, but potentially more significant, signals. A narrower gap (e.g., 25 and 40) will generate more frequent signals, suitable for more active trading styles.
🧠 Adaptive Intelligence
🧠 Enable Adaptive Features: When enabled, this activates the strategy's performance tracking module. The script will analyze the outcome of its last 50 trades to calculate a dynamic win rate.
⏰ Adaptive Time-Based Exit: If Enable Adaptive Features is on, this allows the strategy to adjust its Maximum Bars in Trade setting based on performance. It learns from the average duration of winning trades. If winning trades tend to be short, it may shorten the time exit to lock in profits. If winners tend to run, it will extend the time exit, allowing trades more room to develop. This helps prevent the strategy from cutting winning trades short or holding losing trades for too long.
⚡ Intelligent Execution
📊 Trade Quantity: A straightforward input that defines the number of contracts or shares for each trade. This is a fixed value for consistent position sizing.
🛡️ Smart Stop Loss: Enables the dynamic stop-loss mechanism.
🎯 Stop Loss ATR Multiplier: Determines the distance of the stop loss from the entry price, calculated as a multiple of the current 14-period ATR. A higher multiplier gives the trade more room to breathe but increases risk per trade. A lower multiplier creates a tighter stop, reducing risk but increasing the chance of being stopped out by normal market noise.
💰 Take Profit ATR Multiplier: Sets the take profit target, also as a multiple of the ATR. A common practice is to set this higher than the Stop Loss multiplier (e.g., a 2:1 or 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio).
🏃 Use Trailing Stop: This is a powerful feature for trend-following. When enabled, instead of a fixed stop loss, the stop will trail behind the price as the trade moves into profit, helping to lock in gains while letting winners run.
🎯 Trail Points & 📏 Trail Offset ATR Multipliers: These control the trailing stop's behavior. Trail Points defines how much profit is needed before the trail activates. Trail Offset defines how far the stop will trail behind the current price. Both are based on ATR, making them fully adaptive to market volatility.
⏰ Maximum Bars in Trade: This is a time-based stop. It forces an exit if a trade has been open for a specified number of bars, preventing positions from being held indefinitely in stagnant markets.
⏰ Session Management
These inputs allow you to confine the strategy's trading activity to specific market hours, which is crucial for day trading instruments that have defined high-volume sessions (e.g., stock market open).
🎨 Visual Effects & Dashboard
These toggles give you complete control over the on-chart visuals and the dashboard. You can disable any element to declutter your chart or focus only on the information that matters most to you.
📊 THE DASHBOARD: YOUR AT-A-GLANCE COMMAND CENTER
The dashboard centralizes all critical information into one compact, easy-to-read panel. It provides a real-time summary of the market state and strategy performance.
🎯 VOVIX ANALYSIS
Fast & Slow: Displays the current numerical values of the fastDEVMA and slowDEVMA. The color indicates their direction: green for rising, red for falling. This lets you see the underlying momentum of each line.
Regime: This is your most important environmental cue. It tells you the market's current state based on the DEVMA relationship. 🚀 EXPANSION (Green) signifies a bullish volatility regime where explosive moves are more likely. ⚛️ CONTRACTION (Purple) signifies a bearish volatility regime, where the market may be consolidating or entering a smoother trend.
Quality: Measures the strength of the last signal based on the magnitude of the DEVMA difference. An ELITE or STRONG signal indicates a high-conviction setup where the crossover had significant force.
PERFORMANCE
Win Rate & Trades: Displays the historical win rate of the strategy from the backtest, along with the total number of closed trades. This provides immediate feedback on the strategy's historical effectiveness on the current chart.
EXECUTION
Trade Qty: Shows your configured position size per trade.
Session: Indicates whether trading is currently OPEN (allowed) or CLOSED based on your session management settings.
POSITION
Position & PnL: Displays your current position (LONG, SHORT, or FLAT) and the real-time Profit or Loss of the open trade.
🧠 ADAPTIVE STATUS
Stop/Profit Mult: In this simplified version, these are placeholders. The primary adaptive feature currently modifies the time-based exit, which is reflected in how long trades are held on the chart.
🎨 THE VISUAL UNIVERSE: DECIPHERING MARKET GEOMETRY
The visuals are not mere decorations; they are geometric representations of the underlying mathematical concepts, designed to give you an intuitive feel for the market's state.
The Core Lines:
FastDEVMA (Green/Maroon Line): The primary signal line. Green when rising, indicating an increase in short-term volatility chaos. Maroon when falling.
SlowDEVMA (Aqua/Orange Line): The baseline. Aqua when rising, indicating a long-term increase in volatility chaos. Orange when falling.
🌊 Morphism Flow (Flowing Lines with Circles):
What it represents: This visualizes the momentum and strength of the fastDEVMA. The width and intensity of the "beam" are proportional to the signal strength.
Interpretation: A thick, steep, and vibrant flow indicates powerful, committed momentum in the current volatility regime. The floating '●' particles represent kinetic energy; more particles suggest stronger underlying force.
📐 Homotopy Paths (Layered Transparent Boxes):
What it represents: These layered boxes are centered between the two DEVMA lines. Their height is determined by the DEV value.
Interpretation: This visualizes the overall "volatility of volatility." Wider boxes indicate a chaotic, unpredictable market. Narrower boxes suggest a more stable, predictable environment.
🧠 Consciousness Field (The Grid):
What it represents: This grid provides a historical lookback at the DEV range.
Interpretation: It maps the recent "consciousness" or character of the market's volatility. A consistently wide grid suggests a prolonged period of chaos, while a narrowing grid can signal a transition to a more stable state.
📏 Functorial Levels (Projected Horizontal Lines):
What it represents: These lines extend from the current fastDEVMA and slowDEVMA values into the future.
Interpretation: Think of these as dynamic support and resistance levels for the volatility structure itself. A crossover becomes more significant if it breaks cleanly through a prior established level.
🌊 Flow Boxes (Spaced Out Boxes):
What it represents: These are compact visual footprints of the current regime, colored green for Expansion and red for Contraction.
Interpretation: They provide a quick, at-a-glance confirmation of the dominant volatility flow, reinforcing the background color.
Background Color:
This provides an immediate, unmistakable indication of the current volatility regime. Light Green for Expansion and Light Aqua/Blue for Contraction, allowing you to assess the market environment in a split second.
📊 BACKTESTING PERFORMANCE REVIEW & ANALYSIS
The following is a factual, transparent review of a backtest conducted using the strategy's default settings on a specific instrument and timeframe. This information is presented for educational purposes to demonstrate how the strategy's mechanics performed over a historical period. It is crucial to understand that these results are historical, apply only to the specific conditions of this test, and are not a guarantee or promise of future performance. Market conditions are dynamic and constantly change.
Test Parameters & Conditions
To ensure the backtest reflects a degree of real-world conditions, the following parameters were used. The goal is to provide a transparent baseline, not an over-optimized or unrealistic scenario.
Instrument: CME E-mini Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ1!)
Timeframe: 5-Minute Chart
Backtesting Range: March 24, 2024, to July 09, 2024
Initial Capital: $100,000
Commission: $0.62 per contract (A realistic cost for futures trading).
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade (A conservative setting to account for potential price discrepancies between order placement and execution).
Trade Size: 1 contract per trade.
Performance Overview (Historical Data)
The test period generated 465 total trades , providing a statistically significant sample size for analysis, which is well above the recommended minimum of 100 trades for a strategy evaluation.
Profit Factor: The historical Profit Factor was 2.663 . This metric represents the gross profit divided by the gross loss. In this test, it indicates that for every dollar lost, $2.663 was gained.
Percent Profitable: Across all 465 trades, the strategy had a historical win rate of 84.09% . While a high figure, this is a historical artifact of this specific data set and settings, and should not be the sole basis for future expectations.
Risk & Trade Characteristics
Beyond the headline numbers, the following metrics provide deeper insight into the strategy's historical behavior.
Sortino Ratio (Downside Risk): The Sortino Ratio was 6.828 . Unlike the Sharpe Ratio, this metric only measures the volatility of negative returns. A higher value, such as this one, suggests that during this test period, the strategy was highly efficient at managing downside volatility and large losing trades relative to the profits it generated.
Average Trade Duration: A critical characteristic to understand is the strategy's holding period. With an average of only 2 bars per trade , this configuration operates as a very short-term, or scalping-style, system. Winning trades averaged 2 bars, while losing trades averaged 4 bars. This indicates the strategy's logic is designed to capture quick, high-probability moves and exit rapidly, either at a profit target or a stop loss.
Conclusion and Final Disclaimer
This backtest demonstrates one specific application of the VoVix+ framework. It highlights the strategy's behavior as a short-term system that, in this historical test on NQ1!, exhibited a high win rate and effective management of downside risk. Users are strongly encouraged to conduct their own backtests on different instruments, timeframes, and date ranges to understand how the strategy adapts to varying market structures. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and all trading involves significant risk.
🔧 THE DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY: FROM VOLATILITY TO CLARITY
The journey to create VoVix+ began with a simple question: "What drives major market moves?" The answer is often not a change in price direction, but a fundamental shift in market volatility. Standard indicators are reactive to price. We wanted to create a system that was predictive of market state. VoVix+ was designed to go one level deeper—to analyze the behavior, character, and momentum of volatility itself.
The challenge was twofold. First, to create a robust mathematical model to quantify these abstract concepts. This led to the multi-layered analysis of ATR differentials and standard deviations. Second, to make this complex data intuitive and actionable. This drove the creation of the "Visual Universe," where abstract mathematical values are translated into geometric shapes, flows, and fields. The adaptive system was intentionally kept simple and transparent, focusing on a single, impactful parameter (time-based exits) to provide performance feedback without becoming an inscrutable "black box." The result is a tool that is both profoundly deep in its analysis and remarkably clear in its presentation.
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
VoVix+ is an advanced analytical tool, not a guarantee of future profits. All financial markets carry inherent risk. The backtesting results shown by the strategy are historical and do not guarantee future performance. This strategy incorporates realistic commission and slippage settings by default, but market conditions can vary. Always practice sound risk management, use position sizes appropriate for your account equity, and never risk more than you can afford to lose. It is recommended to use this strategy as part of a comprehensive trading plan. This was developed specifically for Futures

Angular Volatility📘 Angular Volatility – Technical Indicator for Trend Intensity Analysis
Angular Volatility is an advanced technical analysis tool developed specifically for cryptocurrency markets on the Binance platform. Its primary objective is to detect structural shifts in price dynamics with greater precision by analyzing the combined behavior of market volume and the angular slope of a customizable moving average.
Unlike conventional indicators that operate directly over the price chart, this script displays all of its metrics within a dedicated secondary window, allowing a cleaner and more isolated view of critical movements such as acceleration, pause, or potential reversals. In addition, it includes a robust system for volatility intensity classification, automated alerts, and a live technical info table that summarizes key real-time values.
🎯 What does Angular Volatility analyze?
Angular Volatility measures the interaction between traded volume and the angle of a moving average selected by the user from six types (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, ALMA, and SWMA). From these variables, the system generates:
- Angular Volatility Index: A composite value representing the product of volume and angular slope, reflecting the true strength behind a move.
- Angular Oscillator: A standalone line that displays the directional angle (in degrees) of the selected moving average, limited between ±90°.
- Volatility Intensity Levels: Automatic classification of peaks into four levels—moderate, elevated, high, and extreme—displayed with distinct colors and geometric shapes.
- Technical Data Table: A real-time panel showing both the current angle of the moving average and the current value of the Angular Volatility Index in a compact, user-friendly format.
- Custom Alerts System: Five built-in alert conditions allow users to monitor key volatility events without needing to watch the chart constantly.
⚙️ Configuration Parameters
The script includes multiple configuration sections that allow users to fine-tune both its analytical precision and visual appearance:
- High Volume Detection: Adjustable historical depth and sensitivity to identify significant volume spikes.
- Initial Moving Average Settings: Selection of MA type, length, offset, and dynamic coloring based on slope angle.
- Volatility Index Options: Fully customizable visuals, synced with the angle values set in the moving average section.
- Volatile Intensity Styling: Choose which levels to display, customize their colors and icons, and optionally color the main chart candles for quick interpretation.
- Information Table: Options to show/hide the table, adjust size and position, and customize background/text colors.
🧠 Compatibility and Technical Recommendations
This indicator was developed to operate exclusively on Binance using the following timeframes only: 1m – 5m – 15m – 30m – 1h – 4h – 1D.
This restriction is deliberate, ensuring consistency in the mathematical model used to calculate angular data. Using this script on other platforms or timeframes may result in inaccurate readings or logic errors, as asset types like stocks, forex, or indices behave differently in terms of volume structure and slope normalization.
If applied to unsupported markets or timeframes, the script will automatically display a warning message without calculating or drawing technical values.
🔬 Practical Example
The following case study—applied to the BTC chart on a 1-hour timeframe—demonstrates how volatility intensity levels behave in structured scenarios such as channel breakdowns, rebound phases, false breakouts, and high-energy consolidation zones:
🔻 Letter A: Downward breakout and full intensity sequence
- The price was moving within a fairly uniform descending channel, which ends with a false breakout to the upside—quickly invalidated as a market trap.
- The true breakout occurs to the downside through a strong red candle, categorized by the system as moderate intensity (gray).
- This candle is followed by a Doji, then a smaller red candle also marked as moderate intensity, followed by a larger red candle showing high intensity (white), and finally a stronger red candle painted yellow, indicating extreme intensity.
- This full sequence (moderate → moderate → high → extreme) marks a technical climax, after which the price begins a progressive reversal.
- Although the drop unfolds over five red candles, the subsequent recovery takes place over 18 candles, mostly green and smaller in size, forming a “V” shape: sharp decline followed by a steady upward climb.
- This entire section is enclosed within an oval labeled A, with the four intensity levels clearly reflected on both the main chart and the Angular Volatility panel.
🔼 Letter B: Ascending channel and breakout with increasing bullish pressure
- After the rebound described in section A, the price begins forming a new ascending channel, marked with the letter B. This channel starts right where the previous range ends, with a very slight upward offset—nearly indistinguishable.
- In the final stage of this channel, a green candle classified as moderate intensity (gray) attempts a breakout. It is followed by a stronger green candle, painted brown, indicating elevated intensity and confirming bullish acceleration.
- Both candles and the corresponding peak on the Angular Volatility indicator are enclosed in an oval labeled B, representing a second wave of directional energy.
⛓️ Letter C: Resistance zone and consolidation following extreme volatility
- The upward movement continues until it reaches a resistance level, where a large green candle emerges, painted yellow to denote extreme intensity.
- Unlike the previous case in section A, this movement does not trigger a sharp reversal, but rather a technical pause followed by sideways consolidation, forming a horizontal range.
- This zone is marked on the chart with an oval labeled C, representing a classic case of stopping volume and range formation.
Fear and Greed Indicator [DunesIsland]The Fear and Greed Indicator is a TradingView indicator that measures market sentiment using five metrics. It displays:
Tiny green circles below candles when the market is in "Extreme Fear" (index ≤ 25), signalling potential buys.
Tiny red circles above candles when the market is in "Greed" (index > 75), indicating potential sells.
Purpose: Helps traders spot market extremes for contrarian trading opportunities.Components (each weighted 20%):
Market Momentum: S&P 500 (SPX) vs. its 125-day SMA, normalized over 252 days.
Stock Price Strength: Net NYSE 52-week highs (INDEX:HIGN) minus lows (INDEX:LOWN), normalized.
Put/Call Ratio: 5-day SMA of Put/Call Ratio (USI:PC).
Market Volatility: VIX (VIX), inverted and normalized.
Stochastic RSI: 14-period RSI on SPX with 3-period Stochastic SMA.
Alerts:
Buy: Index ≤ 25 ("Extreme Fear - Potential Buy").
Sell: Index > 75 ("Greed - Potential Sell").
Funding Ratio BinanceThis advanced indicator is designed for perpetual futures traders looking for an edge by understanding market dynamics on Binance. It provides key insights into the Premium Rate and Estimated Funding Rate, helping you make informed decisions about your trades.
What does this indicator offer you?
Premium Rate (4H): Displays the real-time difference between the perpetual futures price and the spot price on Binance. A positive premium can indicate bullish demand from futures buyers, while a negative premium suggests bearish demand. This data updates every 4 hours.
Estimated Funding Rate (4H): Calculates an estimate of the upcoming funding rate to be applied on Binance. This rate is crucial, as it determines payments between long and short positions. A positive rate means longs pay shorts, and vice versa. Knowing this estimate can help you anticipate market movements and manage your positions.
Suggested Position: Based on the current Premium Rate, the indicator provides a suggested position ("Long", "Short", or "Neutral"). This is a helpful guide for evaluating the overall sentiment of the perpetual futures market relative to the spot price.
Key Features:
Real-time Data: Obtains information directly from Binance (via TradingView) to ensure maximum accuracy.
Fixed Timeframe: Premium and funding calculations are performed on a fixed 4-hour timeframe, regardless of your current chart's timeframe.
Configurable: You can adjust the fixed Binance interest rate used in the Estimated Funding Rate calculation, as well as clamping limits to fine-tune its relevance. You can also customize the table's position on your chart to suit your preferred layout.
Automatic Pair Detection: For the Premium Rate, the indicator automatically detects the cryptocurrency pair you are currently viewing, ensuring relevant data without extra configuration.
HL/OL Histogram + (Close-Open)🧠 Core Concept
This indicator is designed to detect meaningful directional intent in price action using a combination of:
Intrabar candle structure (high - open, open - low)
Net price momentum (close - open)
Timed trigger levels (frozen buy/sell prices based on selected timeframe closes)
The core idea is to visually separate bullish and bearish energy in the current bar, and to mark the price at which momentum flips from down to up or vice versa, based on a change in the close - open differential.
🔍 Components Breakdown
1. Histogram Bars
Green Bars (high - open): Represent bullish upper wicks, showing intrabar strength above the open.
Red Bars (open - low): Represent bearish lower wicks, showing pressure below the open.
Plotted as histograms above and below the zero line.
2. Close–Open Line (White)
Plots the difference between close and open for each bar.
Helps you visually track when momentum flips from negative to positive, or vice versa.
A bold black zero line provides clear reference for these flips.
3. Buy/Sell Signal Logic
A Buy Trigger is generated when close - open crosses above zero
A Sell Trigger occurs when close - open crosses below zero
These trigger events are one-shot, meaning they’re only registered once per signal direction. No retriggers occur until the opposite condition is met.
📈 Trigger Price Table (Static)
On a signal trigger, the close price from a lower timeframe (15S, 30S, 1, 2, 3, or 5 min) is captured.
This price is frozen and displayed in a table at the top-right of the pane.
The price remains fixed until the opposite trigger condition fires, at which point it is replaced.
Why close price?
Using the close from the lower timeframe gives a precise, decisive reference point — ideal for planning limit entries or confirming breakout commitment.
🛠️ Use Cases
Momentum traders can use the histogram and line to time entries after strong open rejection or close breakouts.
Scalpers can quickly gauge intrabar sentiment reversals and react to new momentum without waiting for candle closes.
Algo builders can use the frozen price logic as precise entry or confirmation points in automated strategies.
VIX-Price Covariance MonitorThe VIX-Price Covariance Monitor is a statistical tool that measures the evolving relationship between a security's price and volatility indices such as the VIX (or VVIX).
It can give indication of potential market reversal, as typically, volatility and the VIX increase before markets turn red,
This indicator calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient using the formula:
ρ(X,Y) = cov(X,Y) / (σₓ × σᵧ)
Where:
ρ is the correlation coefficient
cov(X,Y) is the covariance between price and the volatility index
σₓ and σᵧ are the standard deviations of price and the volatility index

Interpretation
Positive Correlation (Red): Typically bearish for price, as rising VIX correlates with falling markets. This is what traders should be looking for.
Negative Correlation (Green): Typically bullish for price, as falling VIX correlates with rising markets
How to use it
Apply the indicator to any chart to see its correlation with the default VIX index
Adjust the correlation length to match your trading timeframe (shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading)
Enable the secondary correlation period to compare different timeframes simultaneously
For advanced analysis, enable the Leading/Lagging feature to detect if VIX changes precede or follow price movements
Use the information panel to quickly assess the current market condition and potential trading implications
Time-Specific Volume AverageA volume indicator based on historic volume.
Checks for the average volume in the past few days at the same time of day. This helps you determine when there is truly volume in the markets.
We will see often see sustained volume above the average during a clear trend. If you see spikes in volume without it being sustained above the average, it is very likely that the trend will die off quickly.
This is very helpful in determining whether to trade based on a trend following system, or a range based system.
Settings are below:
Days to average: Number of days to look back(tradingview has limits depending on your plan)
SMA Length: Number of "volume averages" to look at. Keep this at 1 if you want the average volume at the exact moment in the day. If you increase it, will also average in the past few candles of "volume averages".
SMA Multiplier: Multiplies the SMA by this amount(helps to get higher quality trends)
Dynamic Ray BandsAbout Dynamic Ray Bands
Dynamic Ray Bands is a volatility-adaptive envelope indicator that adjusts in real time to evolving market conditions. It uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) as its central trend reference, with upper and lower bands scaled according to current volatility measured by the Average True Range (ATR).
This creates a dynamic structure that visually frames price action, helping traders identify areas of potential trend continuation, overextension, or mean reversion.
How It Works
🟡 Centerline (DEMA)
The central yellow line is a Double Exponential Moving Average, which offers a smoother, less laggy trend signal than traditional moving averages. It represents the market’s short- to medium-term “equilibrium.”
🔵 Outer Bands
Plotted at:
Upper Band = DEMA + (ATR × outerMultiplier)
Lower Band = DEMA - (ATR × outerMultiplier)
These bands define the extreme bounds of current volatility. When price breaks above or below them, it can signal strong directional momentum or overbought/oversold conditions, depending on context. They're often used as trend breakout zones or to time exits after extended runs.
🟣 Inner Bands
Plotted closer to the DEMA:
Inner Upper = DEMA + (ATR × innerMultiplier)
Inner Lower = DEMA - (ATR × innerMultiplier)
These are preliminary volatility thresholds, offering early cues for potential expansion or reversal. They may be used for scalping, tight stop zones, or pre-breakout positioning.
🔁 Dynamic Width (Bands are Dynamically Adjusted Per Tick)
The width of both inner and outer bands is based on ATR (Average True Range), which is recalculated in real time. This means:
During high volatility, the bands expand, allowing for wider price fluctuations.
During low volatility, the bands contract, tightening range expectations.
Unlike fixed-width channels or standard Bollinger Bands (which use standard deviation), this per-tick adjustment via ATR enables Dynamic Ray Bands to reduce false signals in choppy markets and remain more reactive during trending conditions.
⚙️ Inputs
DMA Length — Period for the central DEMA.
ATR Length — Lookback used for ATR volatility calculations.
Outer Band Multiplier — Controls sensitivity of extreme bands.
Inner Band Multiplier — Controls proximity of inner bands.
Show Inner Bands — Toggle for plotting the inner zone.
🔔 Alerts
Alert conditions are included for:
Price closing above/below the outer bands (trend momentum or overextension)
Price closing above/below the inner bands (early signs of strength/weakness)
🧭 Use Cases
Breakout detection — Catch price continuation beyond the outer bands.
Volatility filtering — Adjust trade logic based on band width.
Mean reversion — Monitor for snapbacks toward the DEMA after price stretches too far.
Trend guidance — Use band slope and price position to confirm direction.

Adaptive Causal Wavelet Trend FilterThe Adaptive Causal Wavelet Trend Filter is a technical indicator implementing causal approximations of wavelet transform properties for better trend detection with adaptive volatility response.
The Adaptive Causal Wavelet Trend Filter (ACWTF) applies mathematical principles derived from wavelet analysis to financial time series, providing robust trend identification with minimal lag. Unlike conventional moving averages, it preserves significant price movements while filtering market noise through signal processing that i describe below.
I was inspired to build this indicator after reading " Wavelet-Based Trend Identification in Financial Time Series " by In, F., & Kim, S. 2013 and reading about Mexican Hat wavelet filters.
The ACWTF maintains optimal performance across varying market regimes without requiring parameter adjustments by adapting filter characteristics to current volatility conditions.
Mathematical Foundation
Inspired by the Mexican Hat wavelet (Ricker wavelet), this indicator implements causal approximations of wavelet filters optimized for real-time financial analysis. The multi-resolution approach identifies features at different scales and the adaptive component dynamically adjusts filtering characteristics based on local volatility measurements.
Key mathematical properties include:
Non-linear frequency response adaptation
Edge-preserving signal extraction
Scale-space analysis through dual filter implementation
Volatility-dependent coefficient adjustment, which I love
Filter Methods
Adaptive: Implements a volatility-weighted combination of multiple filter types to optimize the time-frequency resolution trade-off
Hull: Provides a causal approximation of wavelet edge detection properties with forward-projection characteristics
VWMA: Incorporates volume information into the filtering process for enhanced signal detection
EMA Cascade: Creates a multi-pole filter structure that approximates certain wavelet scaling properties
Suggestion: try all as they will provide slightly different signals. Try also different time-frames.
Practical Applications
Trend Direction Identification: Clear visual trend direction with reduced noise and lag
Regime Change Detection: Early identification of significant trend reversals
Market Condition Analysis: Integrated volatility metrics provide context for current market behavior
Multi-timeframe Confirmation: Alignment between primary and secondary filters offers additional confirmation
Entry/Exit Timing: Filter crossovers and trend changes provide potential trading signals
The comprehensive information panel provides:
Current filter method and trend state
Trend alignment between timeframes
Real-time volatility assessment
Price position relative to filter
Overall trading bias based on multiple factors
Implementation Notes
Log returns option provides improved statistical properties for financial time series
Primary and secondary filter lengths can be adjusted to optimize for specific instruments and timeframes
The indicator performs particularly well during trend transitions and regime changes
The indicator reduces the need for using additional indicators to check trend reversion
