Relative Valuation OscillatorThis is a Relative Valuation Oscillator (RVO) this is attempt of replication OTC Valuation - a sophisticated multi-asset comparison indicator designed to measure whether the current asset is overvalued or undervalued relative to up to three reference assets. Overview The RVO compares the current chart's asset against reference assets (default: 30-Year Treasury Bonds, Gold, and US Dollar Index) to determine relative strength and valuation extremes. It outputs normalized oscillator values ranging from -100 (undervalued) to +100 (overvalued). Key Features Multiple Calculation Methods The indicator offers 5 different calculation approaches: Simple Ratio - Normalized ratio deviation from average Percentage Difference - Percentage change comparison Ratio Z-Score - Standard deviation-based comparison Rate of Change Comparison - Momentum differential analysis (default) Normalized Ratio - Min-max normalized ratio Configurable Reference Assets Asset 1: Default ZB (30-Year Treasury Bond Futures) - tracks interest rate sensitivity Asset 2: Default GC (Gold Futures) - tracks safe-haven and inflation dynamics Asset 3: Default DXY (US Dollar Index) - tracks currency strength Each asset can be enabled/disabled independently Fully customizable symbols Visual Components Multiple oscillator lines - One for each active reference asset (color-coded) Average line - Combined signal from all active assets Overbought/Oversold zones - Configurable threshold levels (default: ±80) Zero line - Neutral valuation reference Background coloring - Visual zones for extreme conditions Signal line - Optional smoothed average Entry markers - Long/short signals at key reversals Signal Generation Crossover alerts - When crossing overbought/oversold levels Entry signals - Reversals from extreme zones Divergence detection - Bullish/bearish divergences between price and oscillator Zero-line crosses - Trend strength changes Customization Options Lookback period (10-500): Controls statistical calculation window Normalization period (50-1000): Determines scaling sensitivity Smoothing toggle: Optional EMA/SMA smoothing with adjustable period Visual customization: Colors, levels, and display options Information Table Real-time dashboard showing: Average oscillator value Current status (Overvalued/Undervalued/Neutral) Current asset price Individual values for each active reference asset Use Cases Mean reversion trading - Identify extreme relative valuations for reversal trades Sector rotation - Compare assets within similar categories Hedging strategies - Understand correlation dynamics Multi-asset analysis - Simultaneously compare against bonds, commodities, and currencies Divergence trading - Spot price/oscillator divergences Trading Strategy Applications Long signals: When oscillator crosses above oversold level (asset recovering from undervaluation) Short signals: When oscillator crosses below overbought level (asset declining from overvaluation) Confirmation: Use multiple reference assets for stronger signals Risk management: Avoid trading when all assets show neutral readings This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to incorporate inter-market analysis and relative strength concepts into their trading decisions, especially in OTC (Over-The-Counter) and futures markets.

Trend Catch STFR - whipsaw Reduced### Summary of the Setup This trading system combines **SuperTrend** (a trend-following indicator based on ATR for dynamic support/resistance), **Range Filter** (a smoothed median of the last 100 candles to identify price position relative to a baseline), and filters using **VIX Proxy** (a volatility measure: (14-period ATR / 14-period SMA of Close) × 100) and **ADX** (Average Directional Index for trend strength). It's designed for trend trading with volatility safeguards. - **Entries**: Triggered only in "tradeable" markets (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20) when SuperTrend aligns with direction (green for long, red for short), price crosses the Range Filter median accordingly, and you're not already in that position. - **Exits**: Purely price-based—exit when SuperTrend flips or price crosses back over the Range Filter median. No forced exits from low volatility/trend. - **No Trade Zone**: Blocks new entries if both VIX Proxy < 15 AND ADX < 20, but doesn't affect open positions. - **Overall Goal**: Enter trends with confirmed strength/volatility, ride them via price action, and avoid ranging/choppy markets for new trades. This creates a filtered trend-following strategy that prioritizes quality entries while letting winners run. ### Advantages - **Reduces Noise in Entries**: The VIX Proxy and ADX filters ensure trades only in volatile or strongly trending conditions, avoiding low-momentum periods that often lead to false signals. - **Lets Winners Run**: Exits based solely on price reversal (SuperTrend or Range Filter) allow positions to stay open during temporary lulls in volatility/trend, potentially capturing longer moves. - **Simple and Balanced**: Combines trend (SuperTrend/ADX), range (Filter), and volatility (VIX Proxy) without overcomplicating—easy to backtest and adapt to assets like stocks, forex, or crypto. - **Adaptable to Markets**: The "OR" logic for VIX/ADX provides flexibility (e.g., enters volatile sideways markets if ADX is low, or steady trends if VIX is low). - **Risk Control**: Implicitly limits exposure by blocking entries in calm markets, which can preserve capital during uncertainty. ### Disadvantages - **Whipsaws in Choppy Markets**: As you noted, SuperTrend can flip frequently in ranging conditions, leading to quick entries/exits and small losses, especially if the Range Filter isn't smoothing enough noise. - **Missed Opportunities**: Strict filters (e.g., requiring VIX ≥ 15 or ADX ≥ 20) might skip early-stage trends or low-volatility grinds, reducing trade frequency and potential profits in quiet bull/bear markets. - **Lagging Exits**: Relying only on price flips means you might hold losing trades longer if volatility drops without a clear reversal, increasing drawdowns. - **Parameter Sensitivity**: Values like VIX 15, ADX 20, or Range Filter's 100-candle lookback need tuning per asset/timeframe; poor choices could amplify whipsaws or over-filter. - **No Built-in Risk Management**: Lacks explicit stops/targets, so it relies on user-added rules (e.g., ATR-based stops), which could lead to oversized losses if not implemented. ### How to Use It This system can be implemented in platforms like TradingView (via Pine Script), Python (e.g., with TA-Lib or Pandas), or MT4/5. Here's a step-by-step guide, assuming TradingView for simplicity—adapt as needed. (If coding in Python, use libraries like pandas_ta for indicators.) 1. **Set Up Indicators**: - Add SuperTrend (default: ATR period 10, multiplier 3—adjust as suggested in prior tweaks). - Create Range Filter: Use a 100-period SMA of (high + low)/2, smoothed (e.g., via EMA if desired). - Calculate VIX Proxy: Custom script for (ATR(14) / SMA(close, 14)) * 100. - Add ADX (period 14, standard). 2. **Define Rules in Code/Script**: - **Long Entry**: If SuperTrend direction < 0 (green), close > RangeFilterMedian, (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20), and not already long—buy on bar close. - **Short Entry**: If SuperTrend direction > 0 (red), close < RangeFilterMedian, (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20), and not already short—sell short. - **Exit Long**: If in long and (SuperTrend > 0 OR close < RangeFilterMedian)—sell. - **Exit Short**: If in short and (SuperTrend < 0 OR close > RangeFilterMedian)—cover. - Monitor No Trade Zone visually (e.g., plot yellow background when VIX < 15 AND ADX < 20). 3. **Backtest and Optimize**: - Use historical data on your asset (e.g., SPY on 1H chart). - Test metrics: Win rate, profit factor, max drawdown. Adjust thresholds (e.g., ADX to 25) to reduce whipsaws. - Forward-test on demo account to validate. 4. **Live Trading**: - Apply to a chart, set alerts for entries/exits. - Add risk rules: Position size 1-2% of capital, stop-loss at SuperTrend line. - Monitor manually or automate via bots—avoid overtrading; use on trending assets. For the adjustments I suggested earlier (e.g., ADX 25, 2-bar confirmation), integrate them into entries only—test one at a time to isolate improvements. If whipsaws persist, combine 2-3 tweaks.

Midnight Lines for Tokyo, London, New Yorkممتاز 👌 إليك **تعريفًا محدثًا وكاملًا للمؤشر باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية**، مع إدراج توضيح دقيق لتعامل المؤشر مع **تغيّر التوقيت الصيفي والشتوي (DST)** في لندن ونيويورك: --- ## 🇬🇧 **English Description (with DST behavior)** **Indicator name:** *Midnight Lines for Tokyo, London, and New York* **Purpose:** This indicator automatically draws **vertical lines** on the chart at **midnight (00:00)** for the three major global trading sessions: * **Tokyo** * **London** * **New York** ### 🔹 How it works: 1. The script checks each candle’s time using the built-in TradingView time zone function: * `"Asia/Tokyo"` * `"Europe/London"` * `"America/New_York"` 2. When it detects **00:00** in any of these zones, it draws: * A **vertical dotted line** that extends from the top to the bottom of the chart. * A **label** at the top with the session name (e.g., “Tokyo Midnight”). 3. Each session has its own color for clarity: * **Blue** → Tokyo Midnight * **Green** → London Midnight * **Red** → New York Midnight ### 🕒 Automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) Adjustment: The indicator automatically adapts to **Daylight Saving Time changes** in both **London** and **New York**: * When London switches between **GMT and GMT+1**, the midnight line shifts automatically to remain accurate. * When New York switches between **EST and EDT**, the script also updates accordingly. * Tokyo does **not** observe DST, so its timing stays constant year-round. ### 🎯 Purpose: Helps traders visually track the start of each new trading day in the major sessions and analyze: * Session overlaps (e.g., London–New York overlap) * Session-based trading strategies * Price movement behavior at each new day open --- ## 🇸🇦 **الوصف بالعربية (مع إدراج تغير التوقيت)** **اسم المؤشر:** خطوط منتصف الليل لجلسات طوكيو، لندن، ونيويورك **الهدف:** يقوم هذا المؤشر تلقائيًا برسم **خطوط عمودية** على الرسم البياني عند **منتصف الليل (00:00)** لكل من الجلسات الثلاث الرئيسية: * **جلسة طوكيو** * **جلسة لندن** * **جلسة نيويورك** ### 🔹 كيفية العمل: 1. يستخدم المؤشر دوال TradingView لحساب الوقت الفعلي لكل مدينة: * `"Asia/Tokyo"` لطوكيو * `"Europe/London"` للندن * `"America/New_York"` لنيويورك 2. عند وصول الساعة إلى **00:00** بتوقيت أي مدينة، يرسم المؤشر: * **خطًا عموديًا متقطعًا** يمتد من أعلى إلى أسفل الرسم البياني. * **تسمية (Label)** أعلى الخط باسم الجلسة (مثل “Tokyo Midnight”). 3. كل جلسة لها لون مختلف: * **أزرق** → منتصف طوكيو * **أخضر** → منتصف لندن * **أحمر** → منتصف نيويورك ### 🕒 التعامل مع تغيّر التوقيت الصيفي والشتوي (DST): يتكيّف المؤشر تلقائيًا مع تغيّر التوقيت في لندن ونيويورك: * عندما تنتقل لندن بين **التوقيت الشتوي (GMT)** و**التوقيت الصيفي (GMT+1)**، يتحرك الخط تلقائيًا ليبقى في الساعة 00:00 المحلية. * وعندما تنتقل نيويورك بين **EST** و**EDT**، يتم تعديل الخط كذلك تلقائيًا. * أما طوكيو فلا تعتمد التوقيت الصيفي، لذا يبقى وقتها ثابتًا دائمًا على الساعة **00:00 JST**. ### 🎯 الفائدة: يساعد المتداولين على تحديد **بداية كل جلسة تداول رئيسية**، ومراقبة: * **تداخل الجلسات** مثل لندن ونيويورك * **تحركات السعر عند بداية اليوم الجديد** * **استراتيجيات التداول الزمنية حسب الجلسة** ---

Renko BandsThis is renko without the candles, just the endpoint plotted as a line with bands around it that represent the brick size. The idea came from thinking about what renko actually gives you once you strip away the visual brick format. At its core, renko is a filtered price series that only updates when price moves a fixed amount, which means it's inherently a trend-following mechanism with built-in noise reduction. By plotting just the renko price level and surrounding it with bands at the brick threshold distances, you get something that works like regular volatility bands while still behaving as a trend indicator. The center line is the current renko price, which trails actual price based on whichever brick sizing method you've selected. When price moves enough to complete a brick in the renko calculation, the center line jumps to the new brick level. The bands sit at plus and minus one brick size from that center line, showing you exactly how far price needs to move before the next brick would form. This makes the bands function as dynamic breakout levels. When price touches or crosses a band, you know a new renko brick is forming and the trend calculation is updating. What makes this cool is the dual-purpose nature. You can use it like traditional volatility bands where the outer edges represent boundaries of normal price movement, and breaks beyond those boundaries signal potential trend continuation or exhaustion. But because the underlying calculation is renko rather than standard deviation or ATR around a moving average, the bands also give you direct insight into trend state. When the center line is rising consistently and price stays near the upper band, you're in a clean uptrend. When it's falling and price hugs the lower band, downtrend. When the center line is flat and price is bouncing between both bands, you're ranging. The three brick sizing methods work the same way as standard renko implementations. Traditional sizing uses a fixed price range, so your bands are always the same absolute distance from the center line. ATR-based sizing calculates brick range from historical volatility, which makes the bands expand and contract based on the ATR measurement you chose at startup. Percentage-based sizing scales the brick size with price level, so the bands naturally widen as price increases and narrow as it decreases. This automatic scaling is particularly useful for instruments that move proportionally rather than in fixed increments. The visual simplicity compared to full renko bricks makes this more practical for overlay use on your main chart. Instead of trying to read brick patterns in a separate pane or cluttering your price chart with boxes and lines, you get a single smoothed line with two bands that convey the same information about trend state and momentum. The center line shows you the filtered trend direction, the bands show you the threshold levels, and the relationship between price and the bands tells you whether the current move has legs or is stalling out. From a trend-following perspective, the renko line naturally stays flat during consolidation and only moves when directional momentum is strong enough to complete bricks. This built-in filter removes a lot of the whipsaw that affects moving averages during choppy periods. Traditional moving averages continue updating with every bar regardless of whether meaningful directional movement is happening, which leads to false signals when price is just oscillating. The renko line only responds to sustained moves that meet the brick size threshold, so it tends to stay quiet when price is going nowhere and only signals when something is actually happening. The bands also serve as natural stop-loss or profit-target references since they represent the distance price needs to move before the trend calculation changes. If you're long and the renko line is rising, you might place stops below the lower band on the theory that if price falls far enough to reverse the renko trend, your thesis is probably invalidated. Conversely, the upper band can mark levels where you'd expect the current brick to complete and potentially see some consolidation or pullback before the next brick forms. What this really highlights is that renko's value isn't just in the brick visualization, it's in the underlying filtering mechanism. By extracting that mechanism and presenting it in a more traditional band format, you get access to renko's trend-following properties without needing to commit to the brick chart aesthetic or deal with the complications of overlaying brick drawings on a time-based chart. It's renko after all, so you get the trend filtering and directional clarity that makes renko useful, but packaged in a way that integrates more naturally with standard technical analysis workflows.
