Strength of Divergence Across Multiple Indicators (+CMF&VWMACD)Modified Version of Strength of Divergence Across Multiple Indicators by reees Purpose: This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and evaluate the strength of bullish and bearish divergences across multiple technical indicators. Divergences occur when the price of an asset is moving in one direction while a technical indicator is moving in the opposite direction, potentially signaling a trend reversal. Key Features: 1. Multiple Indicator Support: The script now analyzes divergences for the following indicators: * RSI (Relative Strength Index) * OBV (On-Balance Volume) * MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) * STOCH (Stochastic Oscillator) * CCI (Commodity Channel Index) * MFI (Money Flow Index) * AO (Awesome Oscillator) * CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) - Newly added * VWMACD (Volume-Weighted MACD) - Newly added 2. Customizable Divergence Parameters: * Bullish/Bearish: Enable or disable the detection of bullish and bearish divergences independently. * Regular/Hidden: Detect both regular and hidden divergences (hidden divergences can indicate trend continuation). * Broken Trendline Exclusion: Optionally ignore divergences where the trendline connecting price pivots is broken by an intermediate pivot. * Pivot Lookback Periods: Adjust the number of bars used to identify valid pivot highs and lows for divergence calculations. * Weighting: Assign different weights to regular vs. hidden divergences and to the relative change in price vs. the indicator. 3. Indicator-Specific Settings: * Weight: Each indicator can be assigned a weight, influencing its contribution to the overall divergence strength calculation. * Extreme Value: Define a threshold above which an indicator's divergence is considered "extreme," giving it a higher strength rating. 4. Divergence Strength Calculation: * For each indicator, the script calculates a divergence "degree" based on the magnitude of the divergence and the user-defined weightings. * The total divergence strength is the sum of the individual indicator divergence degrees. * Strength is categorized as "Extreme," "Very strong," "Strong," "Moderate," "Weak," or "Very weak." 5. Visualization: * Divergence Lines: The script draws lines on the chart connecting the price and indicator pivots that form a divergence (optional, with customizable transparency). * Labels: Labels display the total divergence strength and a breakdown of each indicator's contribution. The size and visibility of labels are based on the strength. 6. Alerts: * The script can generate alerts when the total divergence strength exceeds a user-defined threshold. New Indicators (CMF and VWMACD): * Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): * Purpose: Measures the buying and selling pressure by analyzing the relationship between price, volume, and the accumulation/distribution line. * Divergence: A bullish CMF divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the CMF makes a higher low (suggesting increasing buying pressure). A bearish divergence is the opposite. * Volume-Weighted MACD (VWMACD): * Purpose: Similar to the standard MACD but uses volume-weighted moving averages instead of simple moving averages, giving more weight to periods with higher volume. * Divergence: Divergences are interpreted similarly to the standard MACD, but the VWMACD can be more sensitive to volume changes. How It Works (Simplified): 1. Pivot Detection: The script identifies pivot highs and lows in both price and the selected indicators using the specified lookback periods. 2. Divergence Check: For each indicator: * It checks if a series of pivots in price and the indicator are diverging (e.g., price makes a lower low, but the indicator makes a higher low for a bullish divergence). * It calculates the divergence degree based on the difference in price and indicator values, weightings, and whether it's a regular or hidden divergence. 3. Strength Aggregation: The script sums up the divergence degrees of all enabled indicators to get the total divergence strength. 4. Visualization and Alerts: It draws lines and labels on the chart to visualize the divergences and generates alerts if the total strength exceeds the set threshold. Benefits: * Comprehensive Divergence Analysis: By considering multiple indicators, the script provides a more robust assessment of potential trend reversals. * Customization: The many adjustable parameters allow traders to fine-tune the script to their specific trading style and preferences. * Objective Strength Evaluation: The divergence strength calculation and categorization offer a more objective way to evaluate the significance of divergences. * Early Warning System: Divergences can often precede significant price movements, making this script a valuable tool for anticipating potential trend changes. * Volume Confirmation: The inclusion of CMF and VWMACD add volume-based confirmation to the divergence signals, potentially increasing their reliability. Limitations: * Lagging Indicators: Most of the indicators used are lagging, meaning they are based on past price data. Divergences may sometimes occur after a significant price move has already begun. * False Signals: No indicator is perfect, and divergences can sometimes produce false signals, especially in choppy or ranging markets. * Subjectivity: While the script aims for objectivity, some settings (like weightings and extreme values) still involve a degree of subjective judgment.

MultiLayer Acceleration/Deceleration Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview MultiLayer Acceleration/Deceleration Strategy leverages the combination of Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator(AC), Williams Alligator, Williams Fractals and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator is used for creating signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades. Unique Features No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs) Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions. Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one. Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one. Methodology The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions: 1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory. 2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph) 3. Acceleration/Deceleration shall create one of two types of long signals (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph). Buy stop order is placed one tick above the candle's high of last created long signal. 4. If price reaches the order price, long position is opened with 10% of capital. 5. If currently we have opened position and price creates and hit the order price of another one long signal, another one long position will be added to the previous with another one 10% of capital. Strategy allows to open up to 5 long trades simultaneously. 6. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened. Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent. Strategy settings In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting: EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation). User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart. Justification of Methodology Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. We'll begin with the simplest: the EMA. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that assigns greater weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to current market changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This tool is widely used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. The EMA is calculated as follows: 1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier: Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods. 2. EMA Calculation EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier) In this strategy, the EMA acts as a long-term trend filter. For instance, long trades are considered only when the price closes above the EMA (default: 100-period). This increases the likelihood of entering trades aligned with the prevailing trend. Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages: Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead. Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward. Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward. When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades. Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either: Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal. Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal. Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy. How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend. When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish. The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals. In this strategy if the most recent up fractal breakout occurs above the Alligator's teeth and follows the last down fractal breakout below the teeth, the algorithm identifies an uptrend. Long trades can be opened during this phase if a signal aligns. If the price breaks a down fractal below the teeth line during an uptrend, the strategy assumes the uptrend has ended and closes all open long trades. By combining the EMA as a long-term trend filter with the Alligator and fractals as short-term filters, this approach increases the likelihood of opening profitable trades while staying aligned with market dynamics. Now let's talk about Acceleration/Deceleration signals. AC indicator is calculated using the Awesome Oscillator, so let's first of all briefly explain what is Awesome Oscillator and how it can be calculated. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator designed to measure market momentum by contrasting recent price movements with a longer-term historical perspective. It helps traders detect potential trend reversals and assess the strength of ongoing trends. The formula for AO is as follows: AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price) where: Median Price = (High + Low) / 2 SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price The Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator, introduced by Bill Williams, measures the rate of change in market momentum. It highlights shifts in the driving force of price movements and helps traders spot early signs of trend changes. The AC Indicator is particularly useful for identifying whether the current momentum is accelerating or decelerating, which can indicate potential reversals or continuations. For AC calculation we shall use the AO calculated above is the following formula: AC = AO − SMA5(AO), where SMA5(AO)is the 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Awesome Oscillator When the AC is above the zero line and rising, it suggests accelerating upward momentum. When the AC is below the zero line and falling, it indicates accelerating downward momentum. When the AC is below zero line and rising it suggests the decelerating the downtrend momentum. When AC is above the zero line and falling, it suggests the decelerating the uptrend momentum. Now we can explain which AC signal types are used in this strategy. The first type of long signal is when AC value is below zero line. In this cases we need to see three rising bars on the histogram in a row after the falling one. The second type of signals occurs above the zero line. There we need only two rising AC bars in a row after the falling one to create the signal. The signal bar is the last green bar in this sequence. The strategy places the buy stop order one tick above the candle's high, which corresponds to the signal bar on AC indicator. After that we can have the following scenarios: Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price. Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower high. If current AC bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AC bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next AC signal. If long trades are initiated, the strategy continues utilizing subsequent signals until the total number of trades reaches a maximum of 5. All open trades are closed when the trend shifts to a downtrend, as determined by the combination of the Alligator and Fractals described earlier. Why we use AC signals? If currently strategy algorithm considers the high probability of the short-term uptrend with the Alligator and Fractals combination pointed out above and the long-term trend is also suggested by the EMA filter as bullish. Rising AC bars after period of falling AC bars indicates the high probability of local pull back end and there is a high chance to open long trade in the direction of the most likely main uptrend. The numbers of rising bars are different for the different AC values (below or above zero line). This is needed because if AC below zero line the local downtrend is likely to be stronger and needs more rising bars to confirm that it has been changed than if AC is above zero. Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next AC signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

Justification of Methodology Let's go through all concepts used in this strategy to understand how they works together. Let's start from the easies one, the EMA. Let's briefly explain what is EMA. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It is commonly used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. It can be calculated with the following steps: 1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier: Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods. 2. EMA Calculation EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier) In this strategy uses EMA an initial long term trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend. Let's go to the next, short-term trend filter which consists of Alligator and Fractals. Let's briefly explain what do these indicators means. The Williams Alligator, developed by Bill Williams, is a technical indicator designed to spot trends and potential market reversals. It uses three smoothed moving averages, referred to as the jaw, teeth, and lips: Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead. Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward. Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward. When these lines diverge and are properly aligned, the "alligator" is considered "awake," signaling a strong trend. Conversely, when the lines overlap or intertwine, the "alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator assists traders in identifying when to act on or avoid trades. The Williams Fractals, another tool introduced by Bill Williams, are used to pinpoint potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms when there are at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar displaying the highest high (for an up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), relative to the two bars on either side. Key Points: Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal. Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal. Traders often combine fractals with other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, improving the accuracy of trading decisions. How we use their combination in this strategy? Let’s consider an uptrend example. A breakout above an up fractal can be interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating a high likelihood that an uptrend is beginning. Here's the reasoning: an up fractal represents a potential shift in market behavior. When the fractal forms, it reflects a pullback caused by traders selling, creating a temporary high. However, if the price manages to return to that fractal’s high and break through it, it suggests the market has "changed its mind" and a bullish trend is likely emerging. The moment of the breakout marks the potential transition to an uptrend. It’s crucial to note that this breakout must occur above the Alligator's teeth line. If it happens below, the breakout isn’t valid, and the downtrend may still persist. The same logic applies inversely for down fractals in a downtrend scenario. So, if last up fractal breakout was higher, than Alligator's teeth and it happened after last down fractal breakdown below teeth, algorithm considered current trend as an uptrend. During this uptrend long trades can be opened if signal was flashed. If during the uptrend price breaks down the down fractal below teeth line, strategy considered that uptrend is finished with the high probability and strategy closes all current long trades. This combination is used as a short term trend filter increasing the probability of opening profitable long trades in addition to EMA filter, described above. Now let's talk about Awesome Oscillator's "Sauser" signals. Briefly explain what is the Awesome Oscillator. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength. AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price) where: Median Price = (High + Low) / 2 SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price Now we know what is AO, but what is the "Saucer" signal? This concept was introduced by Bill Williams, let's briefly explain it and how it's used by this strategy. Initially, this type of signal is a combination of the following AO bars: we need 3 bars in a row, the first one shall be higher than the second, the third bar also shall be higher, than second. All three bars shall be above the zero line of AO. The price bar, which corresponds to third "saucer's" bar is our signal bar. Strategy places buy stop order one tick above the price bar which corresponds to signal bar. After that we can have the following scenarios. Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price. Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower low. If current AO bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AO bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next "Saucer" signal. If long trades has been opened strategy use all the next signals until number of trades doesn't exceed 5. All trades are closed when the trend changes to downtrend according to combination of Alligator and Fractals described above. Why we use "Saucer" signals? If AO above the zero line there is a high probability that price now is in uptrend if we take into account our two trend filters. When we see the decreasing bars on AO and it's above zero it's likely can be considered as a pullback on the uptrend. When we see the stop of AO decreasing and the first increasing bar has been printed there is a high probability that this local pull back is finished and strategy open long trade in the likely direction of a main trend. Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next saucer signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

Fractal Trail [UAlgo]The Fractal Trail is designed to identify and utilize Williams fractals as dynamic trailing stops. This tool serves traders by marking key fractal points on the chart and leveraging them to create adaptive stop-loss trails, enhancing risk management and trade decision-making. Williams fractals are pivotal in identifying potential reversals and critical support/resistance levels. By plotting fractals dynamically and providing configurable options, this indicator allows for personalized adjustments based on the trader's strategy. This script integrates both visual fractal markers and adjustable trailing stops, offering insights into market trends while catering to a wide variety of trading styles and timeframes. 🔶 Key Features Williams Fractals Identification: The indicator marks Williams Fractals on the chart, which are significant highs and lows within a specified range. These fractals are crucial for identifying potential reversal points in the market. Dynamic Trailing Stops: The indicator generates dynamic trailing stops based on the identified fractals. These stops adjust automatically as new fractals are formed, providing a responsive and adaptive approach to risk management. Fractal Range: Users can specify the number of bars to the left and right for analyzing fractals, allowing for flexibility in identifying significant price points. Trail Buffer Percentage: A percentage-based safety margin can be added between the fractal price and the trailing stop, providing additional control over risk management. Trail Invalidation Source: Users can choose whether the trailing stop flips based on candle closing prices or the extreme points (high/low) of the candles. Alerts and Notifications: The indicator provides alerts for when the price crosses the trailing stops, as well as when new Williams Fractals are confirmed. These alerts can be customized to fit the trader's notification preferences. 🔶 Interpreting the Indicator Fractal Markers: The triangles above and below the bars indicate Williams Fractals. These markers help traders identify potential reversal points in the market. Trailing Stops: The dynamic trailing stops are plotted as lines on the chart. These lines adjust based on the latest identified fractals, providing a visual representation of potential support and resistance levels. Fill Colors: The optional fill colors between the trailing stops and the price action help traders quickly identify the current trend and potential pullback zones. 🔶 Disclaimer Use with Caution: This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice.

Awesome_Accelerator_Zone OscillatorExplanation and Usage Guide for AO_AC_ZONE Oscillator Indicator Overview The **AO_AC_ZONE** oscillator is based on the concepts introduced by **Bill Williams** in his book *New Trading Dimensions*. This indicator combines the **Awesome Oscillator (AO)**, **Accelerator Oscillator (AC)**, and a custom **Zone Oscillator**, visualizing them together in a clear, color-coded format. The Zone Oscillator is derived from the relationship between AO and AC, indicating the market's dominant momentum state (bullish, bearish, or neutral). It also integrates real-time candle coloring to visually align price bars with the Zone's momentum. --- **Components** 1. **Awesome Oscillator (AO)**: - AO measures the difference between a 5-period and 34-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) applied to the midpoints of candles. - It reflects market momentum, where: - Green bars = increasing momentum - Red bars = decreasing momentum 2. **Accelerator Oscillator (AC)**: - AC is calculated as the difference between AO and its 5-period SMA. - It indicates the acceleration or deceleration of market momentum. - Fuchsia bars = increasing momentum - Purple bars = decreasing momentum 3. **Zone Oscillator**: - The Zone combines AO and AC states: - **Green Zone**: Both AO and AC are positive (bullish momentum). - **Red Zone**: Both AO and AC are negative (bearish momentum). - **Gray Zone**: AO and AC have differing signs (neutral/uncertain momentum). - Candle colors dynamically match the Zone’s state for enhanced visual clarity. --- **How to Use the Indicator** **1. Interpreting the Oscillators** - **AO**: Use it to detect momentum direction and changes. Pay attention to shifts in bar color: - **Increasing AO (Aqua)**: Bullish momentum gaining strength. - **Decreasing AO (Navy)**: Bullish momentum weakening or bearish momentum strengthening. - **AC**: Provides early signals of momentum shifts. - If AC changes color ahead of AO, it signals potential trend reversals or accelerations. **2. Using the Zone Oscillator** - **Green Zone**: - Both AO and AC are positive. - Indicates a strong bullish trend. Look for buying opportunities in line with the trend. - **Red Zone**: - Both AO and AC are negative. - Signals strong bearish momentum. Look for shorting opportunities. - **Gray Zone**: - AO and AC are in conflict. - Represents uncertainty; avoid trading or wait for a clear signal. --- **Real-Time Application** **Candle Coloring** - The indicator modifies candle colors to match the Zone Oscillator's state: - **Green Candles**: Strong bullish momentum. - **Red Candles**: Strong bearish momentum. - **Gray Candles**: Neutral momentum. **Recommended Strategy (Based on New Trading Dimensions)**: 1. **Identify the Zone**: - Focus on Green Zones for long entries and Red Zones for short entries. 2. **Look for AO/AC Confirmation**: - Enter trades in the direction of both AO and AC when they align with the Zone. - For exits, monitor when AO and AC conflict (Gray Zone). 3. **Use in Combination**: - Combine this oscillator with fractals or trend indicators to confirm signals. --- **Benefits** - Visualizes momentum strength, acceleration, and alignment in one chart. - Simplifies decision-making by integrating price action with oscillator dynamics. - Supports faster trade identification and execution by highlighting bullish, bearish, and neutral zones. --- **Disclaimer** This indicator is a tool to assist in market analysis. Always incorporate proper risk management and avoid trading during uncertain conditions (Gray Zones). For optimal results, use this oscillator in conjunction with other analysis methods like support/resistance, volume analysis, and trend-following systems.
