HTF FVG + SessionsThis indicator combines multi-timeframe FVG A–C detection with intraday session boxes on a single chart. It automatically finds bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps on 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D and 1W timeframes. Fresh FVGs are drawn in a transparent gold color, then dynamically shrink as price trades back into the gap. Once price fully fills the gap, the FVG box and its label are automatically removed from the chart. After the first touch, each FVG changes to a per-timeframe gray shade, making overlapping HTF gaps easy to see. You can toggle each timeframe on/off and also globally enable/disable all FVGs from the settings panel. Session boxes highlight Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch and NY PM using soft colored rectangles. Each session box is plotted from the high to the low of that session and labeled with its name in white text. A global “Show all session boxes” switch allows you to quickly hide or display the session structure. This tool is designed for traders who want to combine FVG liquidity maps with clear intraday session context.

Adaptive Trend Navigator [ATH Filter & Risk Engine]Description: This strategy implements a systematic Trend Following approach designed to capture major moves while actively protecting capital during severe bear markets. It combines a classic Moving Average "Fan" logic with two advanced risk management layers: a 4-Stage Dynamic Stop Loss and a macro-economic "Circuit Breaker" filter. Core Concepts: 1. Trend Identification (Entry Logic) The script uses a cascade of Simple Moving Averages (SMA 25, 50, 100, 200) to identify the maturity of a trend. Entries are triggered by specific crossovers (e.g., SMA 25 crossing SMA 50) or by breaking above the previous trade's high ("High-Water Mark" Re-Entry). 2. The "Circuit Breaker" (Crash Protection) To prevent trading during historical market collapses (like 2000 or 2008), the strategy monitors the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) as a global benchmark: Normal Regime: If the market is within 20% of its All-Time High, the strategy operates normally. Crisis Regime: If the QQQ falls more than 20% from its ATH, the "Circuit Breaker" activates (Visualized by a Red Background). Recovery Rule: In a Crisis Regime, new long positions are blocked unless the QQQ reclaims its SMA 200. This filters out "bull traps" in secular bear markets. 3. 4-Stage Risk Engine (Exit Logic) Once in a trade, the risk management adapts to the position's performance: Stage 1: Fixed initial Stop Loss (default 10%) for breathing room. Stage 2: Moves to Break-Even area once the price rises 12%. Stage 3: Tightens to a trailing stop (8%) after 25% profit. Stage 4: Maximizes gains with a tight trailing stop (5%) during parabolic moves (>40% profit). Visual Guide: SMAs: 25/50/100/200 period lines for trend visualization. Red Background: Indicates the "Crisis Regime" where trading is halted due to broad market weakness. Blue Background: Indicates a "Recovery Phase" (Crisis is active, but market is above SMA 200). Red Line: Shows the dynamic Stop Loss level for active positions. Settings: All parameters (SMA lengths, Drawdown threshold, Risk Stages) are fully customizable. The QQQ benchmark ticker can also be changed to SPY or other indices depending on the asset class traded.

Dynamic SMA Trend System [Multi-Stage Risk Engine]Description: This script implements a robust Trend Following strategy based on a multiple Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossover logic (25, 50, 100, 200). What sets this strategy apart is its advanced "4-Stage Risk Engine" and a smart "High-Water Mark" Re-Entry system, designed to protect profits during parabolic moves while filtering out chop during sideways markets. How it works: The strategy operates on three core pillars: Trend Identification, Dynamic Risk Management, and Momentum Re-Entry. 1. Entry Logic (Trend Identification) The script looks for crossovers at different trend stages to capture early reversals as well as established trends: Short-Term: SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50. Mid-Term: SMA 50 crosses over SMA 100. Macro-Trend: SMA 100 crosses over SMA 200. 2. The 4-Stage Risk Engine (Dynamic Stop Loss) Instead of a static Stop Loss, this strategy uses a progressive system that adapts as the price increases: Stage 1 (Protection): Starts with a fixed Stop Loss (default -10%) to give the trade room to breathe. Stage 2 (Break-Even): Once the price rises by 12%, the Stop is moved to trailing mode (10% distance), effectively securing a near break-even state. Stage 3 (Profit Locking): At 25% profit, the trailing stop tightens to 8% to lock in gains. Stage 4 (Parabolic Mode): At 40% profit, the trailing stop tightens further to 5% to capture the peak of parabolic moves. 3. Dual Exit Mechanism The strategy exits a position if EITHER of the following happens: Stop Loss Hit: Price falls below the dynamic red line (Risk Engine). Dead Cross: The trend structure breaks (e.g., SMA 25 crosses under SMA 50), signaling a momentum loss even if the Stop Loss wasn't hit. 4. "High-Water Mark" Re-Entry To avoid "whipsaws" in choppy markets, the script does not re-enter immediately after a stop-out. It marks the highest price of the previous trade (Green Dotted Line). A Re-Entry only occurs if the price breaks above this previous high (showing renewed strength) AND the long-term trend is bullish (Price > SMA 200). Visuals: SMAs: 25 (Yellow), 50 (Orange), 100 (Blue), 200 (White). Red Line: Visualizes the dynamic Stop Loss level. Green Dots: Visualizes the target price needed for a valid re-entry. Settings: All parameters (SMA lengths, Stop Loss percentages, Staging triggers) are fully customizable in the settings menu to fit different assets (Crypto, Stocks, Forex) and timeframes.

Trendshift [CHE] StrategyTrendshift Strategy — First-Shift Structural Regime Trading Profitfactor 2,603 Summary Trendshift Strategy implements a structural regime-shift trading model built around the earliest confirmed change in directional structure. It identifies major swing highs and lows, validates breakouts through optional ATR-based conviction, and reacts only to the first confirmed shift in each direction. After a regime reversal, the strategy constructs a premium and discount band between the breakout candle and the previous opposite swing. This band is used as contextual bias and may optionally inform stop placement and position sizing. The strategy focuses on clear, interpretable structural events rather than continuous signal generation. By limiting entries to the first valid shift, it reduces false recycles and allows the structural state to stabilize before a new trade occurs. All signals operate on closed-bar logic, and the strategy avoids higher-timeframe calls to stabilize execution behavior. Motivation: Why this design? Many structure-based systems repeatedly trigger as price fluctuates around prior highs and lows. This often leads to multiple flips during volatile or choppy conditions. Trendshift Strategy addresses this problem by restricting execution to the first confirmed structural event in each direction. ATR-based filters help differentiate genuine structural breaks from noise, while the contextual band ensures that the breakout is meaningful in relation to recent volatility. The design aims to represent a minimalistic structural trading framework focused on regime turns rather than continuous trend signaling. This reduces chart noise and clarifies where the market transitions from one regime to another. What’s different vs. standard approaches? Baseline reference Typical swing-based structure indicators report every break above or below recent swing points. Architecture differences First-shift-only regime logic that blocks repeated signals until direction reverses ATR-filtered validation to avoid weak or momentum-less breaks Premium and discount bands derived from breakout structure Optional band-driven stop placement Optional band-dependent position-sizing factor Regime timeout system to neutralize structure after extended inactivity Persistent-state architecture to prevent re-triggering Practical effect Only the earliest actionable structure change is traded Fewer but higher-quality signals Premium/discount tint assists contextual evaluation Stops and sizing can be aligned with structural context rather than arbitrary volatility measures Improved chart interpretability due to reduced marker frequency How it works (technical) The algorithm evaluates symmetric swing points using a fixed bar window. When a swing forms, its value and bar index are stored as persistent state. A structural shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing on the opposite side. If ATR filtering is enabled, the breakout must exceed a volatility-scaled distance to prevent micro-breaks from firing. Once a valid shift is confirmed, the regime is updated to bullish or bearish. The script records the breakout level, the opposite swing, and derives a band between them. This band is checked for minimum size relative to ATR to avoid unrealistic contexts. The first shift in a new direction generates both the strategy entry and a visual marker. Additional shifts in the same direction are suppressed until a reversal occurs. If a timeout is enabled, the regime resets after a specified number of bars without structural change, optionally clearing the band. Stop placement, if enabled, uses either the opposite or same band edge depending on configuration. Position size is computed from account percentage and may optionally scale with the price-span-to-ATR relationship. Parameter Guide Market Structure Swing length (default 5): Controls swing sensitivity. Lower values increase responsiveness. Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakouts to show momentum relative to ATR. Reduces false shifts. ATR length (default 14): Volatility estimation for breakout and band validation. Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Required breakout strength relative to ATR. Premium/Discount Framework Enable framework (default true): Activates premium/discount evaluation. Persist band on timeout (default true): Keeps structural band after timeout. Min band ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects narrow bands. Regime timeout bars (default 500): Neutralizes regime after inactivity. Invert colors (default false): Color scheme toggle. Visuals Show zone tint (default true): Background shade in premium or discount region. Show shift markers (default true): Display first-shift markers. Execution and Risk Risk per trade percent (default 1.0): Determines position size as account percentage. Use band for size (default false): Scales size relative to band width behavior. Flat on opposite shift (default true): Forces reversal behavior. Use stop at band (default false): Stop anchored to band edges. Stop band side: Chooses which band edge is used for stop generation. Reading & Interpretation A green background indicates discount conditions within the structural band; red indicates premium conditions. A green triangle below price marks the first bullish structural shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above price marks the first bearish structural shift after a bullish regime. When stops are active, the opposite band edge typically defines the protective level. Band width relative to ATR indicates how significant a structural change is: wider bands imply stronger volatility structure, while narrow bands may be suppressed by the minimum-size filter. Practical Workflows & Combinations Trend following: Use first-shift entries as initial regime confirmation. Add higher-timeframe trend filters for additional context. Swing trading: Combine with simple liquidity or fair-value-gap concepts to refine entries. Bias mapping: Use higher timeframes for structural regime and lower timeframes for execution within the premium/discount context. Exit management: When using stops, consider ATR-scaling or multi-stage profit targets. When not using stops, reversals become the primary exit. Behavior, Constraints & Performance The strategy uses only confirmed swings and closed-bar logic, avoiding intrabar repaint. Pivot-based swings inherently appear after the pivot window completes, which is standard behavior. No higher-timeframe calls are used, preventing HTF-related repaint issues. Persistent variables track regime and structural levels, minimizing recomputation. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand. The design avoids loops and arrays, keeping performance stable. Known limitations include limited signal density during consolidations, delayed swing confirmation, and sensitivity to extreme gaps that stretch band logic. ATR filtering mitigates some of these effects but does not eliminate them entirely. Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning Fewer but stronger entries: Increase swing length or ATR breakout multiplier. More responsive entries: Reduce swing length to capture earlier shifts. More active band behavior: Lower the minimum band ATR threshold. Stricter stop logic: Use the opposite band edge for stop placement. Volatile markets: Increase ATR length slightly to stabilize behavior.

Trendshift [CHE]Trendshift — First-Shift Regime Turns with Premium/Discount Context Summary Trendshift highlights the first confirmed directional structure shift in price and overlays a premium or discount context based on the most recent structural range. It identifies the major swing levels, detects a regime transition when price closes beyond these levels with optional ATR-based conviction, and marks only the first shift per direction to reduce repetition and noise. The indicator then establishes a premium or discount band around the break and tints the background when price operates in either region. This produces a clean regime-aware view that emphasizes only the earliest actionable turn while maintaining contextual bias information. Motivation: Why this design? Conventional swing-based structure tools often fire repeated signals after each minor break, especially in volatile environments. This leads to cluttered charts and little informational value. Trendshift focuses on the core trading need: isolating the first confirmed change in directional structure and providing a premium or discount context after the break. By limiting signals to the initial flip and suppressing further markers until direction reverses again, the script reduces noise and highlights only the structural event that materially matters. The band logic further addresses the challenge of distinguishing contextual extremes and avoiding trades taken too late after a shift. What’s different vs. standard approaches? Baseline reference: Most structure indicators repeatedly plot every new break of a swing high or swing low. Differences: Only the first confirmed bullish or bearish shift is plotted until the opposite direction occurs. ATR-filtered breakout validation to reduce false breaks during volatility spikes. A reduced premium and discount band derived from the breakout candle and prior swing structure. Tinted background for contextual positioning rather than explicit entry signals. Practical effect: Fewer but more meaningful shift markers. Clear visual context of where price operates relative to the structural band. Cleaner regime transitions and less chart clutter. How it works (technical) The indicator continuously evaluates major swing highs and lows using a symmetric window length. When a swing is confirmed, the script stores its price and bar index. A structure shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing in the opposite direction. Optional ATR filtering requires the breakout distance to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold. Upon a confirmed shift, the script sets a regime state that remains active until a new shift or an optional timeout. It also establishes a structural band anchored between the breakout candle extremum and the prior opposite swing. The band informs the premium and discount boundaries, each representing a quarter subdivision. Only the first shift event per direction generates a visual triangle marker. The band is validated by comparing its height to ATR to avoid extremely narrow structures. Background tinting activates whenever price resides within the premium or discount zones. Persistent variables maintain previous structural states and prevent re-triggering until direction reverses. Parameter Guide Swing length (default 5): Controls the number of bars used on each side of a swing. Smaller values are more reactive; larger values reduce noise. Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakout strength beyond the swing to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold. Disabling increases signal frequency. ATR length (default 14): Controls volatility estimation for breakout filtering and band validation. Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Higher values require stronger breakouts, reducing false shifts. Enable framework (default true): Activates the premium and discount context logic. Persist band on timeout (default true): Retains the current band after a regime timeout. Min band size ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects extremely small bands and prevents unrealistic tinting. Regime timeout bars (default 500): Resets the regime after extended inactivity. Invert colors (default false): Swaps premium and discount tint color assignments. Show zone tint (default true): Toggles background shading. Show shift markers (default true): Enables or disables the first-shift triangles. Reading & Interpretation A green or red tint signals that price is operating in the discount or premium region of the most recent structural band. These regions are derived from the breakout event and the prior swing. A green triangle below a bar indicates the first bullish structure shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above a bar indicates the first bearish shift after a bullish regime. No further markers appear until direction reverses. When tint is active, price location within the band offers simple contextual bias without providing explicit entries. Practical Workflows & Combinations Trend following: Treat the first bullish marker as the earliest confirmation of a potential up-regime and the first bearish marker for a potential down-regime. Use price location relative to the premium and discount zones as context for continuation or mean-reversion setups. Structure-based execution: Combine with simple swing highs and lows to refine entry points within discount after a bullish shift or within premium after a bearish shift. Higher-timeframe overlays: Apply the indicator on higher timeframes to define macro structure, then trade on lower timeframes using the band as a contextual anchor. Risk management: When price stays in premium during a bearish regime or in discount during a bullish regime, consider protective actions or position management adjustments. Behavior, Constraints & Performance The script uses only confirmed swing points and closed-bar conditions, so repainting from future bars does not occur except the inherent delay of pivot confirmation. No higher-timeframe security calls are used, avoiding HTF repaint paths. Performance impact is minimal because the script uses no loops or arrays and relies on persistent variables. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand, required for swing lookback. Known limitations include quiet behavior during long consolidations, occasional delayed recognition of shifts due to swing confirmation, and limited effectiveness during large market gaps where extremum logic may be distorted. Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g Increase the swing length for smoother trend shifts and fewer signals. Decrease the swing length for more sensitivity. Raise the ATR breakout multiplier to reduce noise in volatile markets. Lower the band size requirement to make premium and discount zones more active on slower markets. Extend the regime timeout for slow-moving assets. What this indicator is—and isn’t This tool is a structural regime-shift detector with contextual premium and discount shading. It is not a complete trading system and does not include entries, exits, or risk models. It does not predict future price movement.

Index Top 5 Heavyweight Analyzer## 🎯 Overview This advanced Pine Script indicator applies the **Pareto Principle** to Nifty 50 trading: the top 5 heavyweights control 40%+ of the index's movement. Instead of watching all 50 stocks, this tool monitors the "Kings" that actually drive the index direction. Professional traders don't trade the index in isolation - they look "under the hood" at heavyweight constituents. This indicator does exactly that, providing real-time analysis of HDFC Bank, Reliance, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel, and TCS to predict Nifty movements before they happen. ## 🔥 Key Features ### 1️⃣ Four-Quadrant OI Cycle Analysis Identifies which cycle each heavyweight is in using Open Interest from continuous futures contracts: - **Long Buildup** (Price ↑ + OI ↑): Institutions buying aggressively → Bullish driver - **Short Covering** (Price ↑ + OI ↓): Bears trapped and exiting → Fast bullish spike - **Short Buildup** (Price ↓ + OI ↑): Big money shorting → Bearish drag - **Long Unwinding** (Price ↓ + OI ↓): Buyers giving up → Index weakness ### 2️⃣ Alignment Score System Counts how many of the top 5 stocks are bullish/bearish/neutral. When 3+ heavyweights align in the same direction with sufficient weightage (15%+), the indicator generates high-conviction trade signals for the Nifty index. ### 3️⃣ Cost of Carry (Basis) Analysis Compares Future vs Spot prices to gauge institutional sentiment: - **Rising Premium**: Aggressive institutional buying - **Discount (Backwardation)**: Extreme bearishness ### 4️⃣ Divergence Detection Warns when the index move contradicts heavyweight signals - identifying "fake moves" that professional traders fade. ### 5️⃣ Actionable Trade Signals - **Strong Bullish**: Buy Index Calls / Long Nifty Future - **Strong Bearish**: Buy Index Puts / Short Nifty Future - **Neutral/Choppy**: Iron Condor / Avoid Directional trades ## 📈 What Makes This Different? Unlike basic index indicators, this tool: - Fetches real Open Interest data from continuous futures (RELIANCE1!, HDFCBANK1!, etc.) - Applies weighted analysis - top 3 stocks matter most - Provides professional trade recommendations based on constituent alignment - Uses dark theme optimized colors for extended screen time - Displays comprehensive dashboard with price, OI, OI change %, cycle status, and basis ## 💡 How to Use 1. **Add to any Nifty 50 or Bank Nifty chart** 2. **Watch the dashboard** in the top-right corner showing all 5 heavyweights 3. **Check the ALIGNMENT row**: - 🔼 Bull Count | 🔽 Bear Count | ➖ Neutral Count - Weighted Bull/Bear scores 4. **Read the INDEX SIGNAL row** for trade recommendations 5. **Look for divergence warnings** (⚠️) indicating fake moves 6. **Use the histogram plot** to visualize signal strength over time ## ⚙️ Customizable Settings - **Constituents**: Modify ticker symbols and weightages - **Signal Thresholds**: Adjust minimum alignment required (default: 3 out of 5) - **Display Options**: Toggle table, signals, and basis calculations - **Timeframe**: Works on all timeframes (intraday and daily) ## 🎨 Dark Theme Optimized Designed specifically for TradingView's dark mode with: - High-contrast colors that reduce eye strain - Bright lime green (#00E676) for bullish signals - Bright red (#FF5252) for bearish signals - Electric colors for easy pattern recognition ## 📊 Best Used For - **Nifty 50 Options Trading**: Know whether to buy calls or puts - **Index Futures Trading**: Identify high-probability directional moves - **Risk Management**: Avoid trading when heavyweights show divergence - **Market Timing**: Enter when top stocks align (3+ in same direction) ## 🚀 Pro Tips - **"Double Engine" Signal**: When Reliance shows Long Buildup AND HDFC Bank shows Short Covering → Extremely bullish for Nifty - **Sector Rotation**: If Banks are strong but Tech is weak (or vice versa) → Expect choppy, range-bound index - **Rollover Analysis**: Near expiry, watch for high OI with rising basis → Bulls/Bears carrying positions forward with confidence ## ⚠️ Important Notes - Requires TradingView Premium for multiple `request.security()` calls - OI data available only for stocks with active futures - Best used on NSE exchange during market hours - Combine with your own risk management strategy ## 📝 Credits Based on professional institutional trading methodologies that analyze index constituents rather than the index itself. Implements the Pareto Principle: focus on the 20% (top 5 stocks) that drives 80% of the index movement. *** ## 🔔 Alerts Available - Strong Bullish Signal (3+ stocks aligned bullish) - Strong Bearish Signal (3+ stocks aligned bearish) - Divergence Warning (fake index moves) **Made for serious traders who want to trade like institutions - by watching what the "smart money" is doing in the heavyweights.** *** *Optimize your Nifty trading by monitoring the stocks that actually matter.

Regime MapRegime Map — Volatility State Detector This indicator is a PineScript friendly approximation of a more advanced Python regime-analysis engine. The original backed identifies market regimes using structural break detection, Hidden-Markov Models, wavelet decomposition, and long-horizon volatility clustering. Since Pine Script cannot execute these statistical models directly, this version implements a lightweight, real-time proxy using realised volatility and statistical thresholds. The purpose is to provide a clear visual map of evolving volatility conditions without requiring any heavy offline computation. ________________________________________ Mathematical Basis: Python vs Pine 1. Volatility Estimation Python (Realised Volatility): RVₜ = √N × stdev( log(Pₜ) − log(Pₜ₋₁) ) Pine Approximation: RVₜ = stdev( log(Pₜ) − log(Pₜ₋₁), lookback ) Rationale: Realised volatility captures volatility clustering — a key characteristic of regime transitions. ________________________________________ 2. Regime Classification Python (HMM Volatility States): Volatility is modelled as belonging to hidden states with different means and variances: State μ₁, σ₁ State μ₂, σ₂ State μ₃, σ₃ with state transitions determined by a probability matrix. Pine Approximation (Z-Score Regimes): Zₜ = ( RVₜ − mean(RV) ) / stdev(RV) Regime assignment: • Regime 0 (Low Vol): Zₜ < Zₗₒw • Regime 1 (Normal): Zₗₒw ≤ Zₜ ≤ Zₕᵢgh • Regime 2 (High Vol): Zₜ > Zₕᵢgh Rationale: Z-scores provide clean statistical boundaries that behave similarly to HMM state separation but are computable in real time. ________________________________________ 3. Structural Break Detection vs Rolling Windows Python (Bai–Perron Structural Breaks): Segments the volatility series into periods with distinct statistical properties by minimising squared error over multiple regimes. Pine Approximation: Rolling mean and rolling standard deviation of volatility over a long window. Rationale: When structural breaks are not available, long-window smoothing approximates slow regime changes effectively. ________________________________________ 4. Multi-Scale Cycles Python (Wavelet Decomposition): Volatility decomposed into long-cycle (A₄) and short-cycle components (D bands). Pine Approximation: Single-scale smoothing using long-horizon averages of RV. Rationale: Wavelets reveal multi-frequency behaviour; Pine captures the dominant low-frequency component. ________________________________________ Indicator Output The background colour reflects the active volatility regime: • Low Volatility (Green): trending behaviour, cleaner directional movement • Normal Volatility (Yellow): balanced environment • High Volatility (Red): sharp swings, traps, mean-reversion phases Regime labels appear on the chart, with a status panel displaying the current regime. ________________________________________ Operational Logic 1. Compute log returns 2. Calculate short-horizon realised volatility 3. Compute long-horizon mean and standard deviation 4. Derive volatility Z-score 5. Assign regime classification 6. Update background colour and labels This provides a stable, real-time map of market state transitions. ________________________________________ Practical Applications Intraday Trading • Low-volatility regimes favour trend and breakout continuation • High-volatility regimes favour mean reversion and wide stop placement Swing Trading • Compression phases often precede multi-day trending moves • Volatility expansions accompany distribution or panic events Risk Management • Enables volatility-adjusted position sizing • Helps avoid leverage during expansion regimes ________________________________________ Notes • Does not repaint • Fully configurable thresholds and lookbacks • Works across indices, stocks, FX, crypto • Designed for real-time volatility regime identification ________________________________________ Disclaimer This script is intended solely for educational and research purposes. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument. Trading involves risk, and past volatility patterns do not guarantee future outcomes. Users are responsible for their own trading decisions, and the author assumes no liability for financial loss.

MA200 Deviation Percentile200-Day MA Deviation with Dynamic Thresholds OVERVIEW This indicator measures price deviation from the 200-day moving average as a percentage, with dynamically calculated overbought/oversold thresholds based on historical percentiles. Best suited for broad market indices (SPY, QQQ, IWM, etc.) where the 200-day MA serves as a reliable long-term trend indicator. Individual stocks may exhibit more erratic behavior around this level. CALCULATION Deviation (%) = (Close - 200MA) / 200MA x 100 Dynamic thresholds are derived from actual historical distribution rather than assuming normal distribution: - Overbought threshold = 97.5th percentile of historical deviations - Oversold threshold = 2.5th percentile of historical deviations SETTINGS MA Length (default: 200) Moving average period. Lookback Period (default: 1260) Historical window for threshold calculation. 1260 bars approximates 5 years of daily data. Threshold Percentile (default: 5%) Two-tailed threshold. 5% places overbought/oversold boundaries at the 97.5th and 2.5th percentiles respectively. INTERPRETATION Deviation Value - Positive: Price trading above 200MA - Negative: Price trading below 200MA - Magnitude indicates extent of deviation Percentile Ranking (0-100%) - Shows where current deviation ranks historically - Above 90%: Historically elevated - Below 10%: Historically depressed Dynamic Threshold Lines - Red line: Upper boundary based on historical distribution - Green line: Lower boundary based on historical distribution - These adapt automatically to each asset's volatility characteristics APPLICATION Mean Reversion Extreme deviations tend to normalize over time. When deviation exceeds dynamic thresholds, probability of mean reversion increases. Trend Assessment Sustained positive/negative deviation confirms trend direction. Zero-line crossovers may signal trend changes. NOTES - Optimized for daily timeframe on market indices - Requires sufficient historical data (minimum equal to lookback period) - Extreme readings do not guarantee immediate reversals - Use in conjunction with other analysis methods

Blockchain Fundamentals: PPT [CR]Blockchain Fundamentals: PPT A proprietary market positioning indicator that analyzes price behavior using percentile-based statistical methods. The PPT (Percentile Position Transform) provides a normalized oscillator view of market conditions, helping traders identify potential trend exhaustion and reversal zones through multi-timeframe statistical analysis. █ FEATURES Dual Signal Lines The indicator plots two distinct signals: - White Line — Primary signal representing the normalized, smoothed market position. This is the main signal used for trading decisions. - Red Line — Raw statistical measurement before final normalization. Useful for identifying divergences and signal development. Background Coloring Dynamic background colors provide at-a-glance market context: - Green Background — Indicates bullish positioning when the primary signal exceeds the buffer threshold. - Red Background — Indicates bearish positioning when the primary signal falls below the buffer threshold. - Gray Background — Neutral zone where no clear directional bias is present. Flip Buffer An adjustable threshold system designed to reduce noise and false signals: - Enable Flip Buffer — Toggle the buffer system on or off. - Buffer Size — Adjustable threshold level (default -0.1) that determines when background colors change. Higher values reduce sensitivity; lower values increase responsiveness. Reference Levels Three horizontal reference lines provide context: - Center line at 0 — Neutral market position. - Upper dashed line at +1 — Extreme bullish positioning threshold. - Lower dashed line at -1 — Extreme bearish positioning threshold. █ HOW TO USE Signal Interpretation The indicator operates as a mean-reversion oscillator within a normalized range: 1 — Values approaching +1 suggest extended bullish conditions where price may be overextended relative to recent history. 2 — Values approaching -1 suggest extended bearish conditions where price may be oversold relative to recent history. 3 — Crosses of the center line (0) indicate shifts in the underlying statistical trend. Trading Applications While specific trading strategies will vary by individual approach and market conditions: - Consider the extremes (+1 and -1 levels) as potential areas of interest for mean-reversion setups. - Background color changes can help identify when market positioning shifts from one regime to another. - Divergences between the white and red lines may provide early warning of potential trend changes. - The buffer zone (gray background) represents areas where market positioning is relatively neutral. █ LIMITATIONS - The indicator requires sufficient historical data to function properly. In assets with limited price history, the statistical measurements may be less reliable during early data periods. - As a percentile-based system, the indicator is relative to recent history. Changing market regimes may require interpretation adjustments. - Not designed for high-frequency or scalping strategies due to its daily data dependency. - Background colors are visual aids and should not be used as standalone trading signals without additional confirmation. █ NOTES This indicator is part of the Blockchain Fundamentals suite and represents proprietary research into statistical market positioning analysis. Users should experiment with the buffer settings to match their risk tolerance and trading style. More conservative traders may prefer larger buffer values to reduce signal frequency, while active traders might benefit from smaller buffers that provide earlier warnings.

Nexural Fisher ProNexural Fisher Transform Ultimate This is my take on what the Fisher Transform should have been from the start. Not a repaint of the standard indicator with a fresh coat of paint, but a ground-up rebuild using techniques from John Ehlers and quantitative finance that actually make a difference. What This Indicator Does The Fisher Transform converts price into a Gaussian normal distribution, which sounds complicated but really just means it gives you clear overbought and oversold readings with sharp turning points. The problem with the standard Fisher Transform is that it was designed decades ago and has some serious limitations. This version addresses those limitations directly. The Core Improvements Adaptive Period via Dominant Cycle Measurement Instead of guessing what lookback period works best, this indicator measures the dominant cycle in the market using autocorrelation and adjusts itself automatically. In choppy markets it becomes more responsive. In smooth trends it slows down to avoid false signals. You no longer have to optimize the length setting for every instrument and timeframe because the indicator does it for you. Tanh Normalization The standard Fisher Transform has a nasty habit of spiking to extreme values during volatile moves. You have probably seen Fisher readings of plus or minus 8 or even higher which makes the indicator almost unreadable. This version uses hyperbolic tangent normalization to mathematically bound the output. The indicator stays within a consistent range regardless of market conditions so your overbought and oversold levels actually mean something. Efficiency Ratio Regime Detection This is the feature that changes how you use the indicator. The Efficiency Ratio measures whether the market is trending or ranging on a scale from zero to one. A high reading means price is moving efficiently in one direction which indicates a trend. A low reading means price is chopping around which indicates a range. Why does this matter? Because oscillators work completely differently in trends versus ranges. In a ranging market you want to fade overbought and oversold readings. In a trending market those same signals will destroy you as the market stays overbought or oversold for extended periods while continuing in the trend direction. The info panel shows you the current regime so you know how to interpret the signals. When it says Trending you trust the direction and ignore the zones. When it says Ranging you trust the zones and fade the extremes. Volume Weighted Calculation High volume bars have more influence on the Fisher calculation than low volume bars. This means the indicator responds more to moves that have real participation behind them and filters out low volume noise. The weighting is clamped to prevent any single bar from dominating the calculation. Ehlers Super Smoother Rather than using a simple moving average or exponential moving average for smoothing, this indicator uses the Ehlers Super Smoother which is a two pole filter specifically designed to remove noise without adding lag. The math behind it is based on signal processing theory and it genuinely works better than traditional smoothing methods. How To Use It The indicator shows two lines. The main Fisher line changes color based on direction. Green means bullish momentum and red means bearish momentum. The white trigger line is the previous bar value and crossovers between the two lines indicate momentum shifts. The info panel in the corner gives you everything at a glance. State tells you the current direction. Zone tells you if the indicator is overbought, oversold, or neutral. Regime tells you if the market is trending, ranging, or mixed. ER shows you the raw Efficiency Ratio value. Period shows you the current adaptive lookback being used. Fisher shows you the exact indicator value. For ranging markets look for bullish crosses when the indicator is in oversold territory and bearish crosses when the indicator is in overbought territory. These are mean reversion setups. For trending markets use the indicator to confirm trend direction and look for pullback entries when the indicator dips toward the zero line without reaching oversold or overbought extremes. Strengths The adaptive period is the biggest advantage. Most traders either use a default setting that works sometimes or spend hours optimizing settings that stop working when market conditions change. This indicator handles that problem automatically. The regime detection is genuinely useful. Knowing whether to fade extremes or ride momentum is half the battle with any oscillator and this indicator tells you directly. The bounded output means your levels are consistent. When the indicator hits 1.5 it means the same thing today as it did last month. You are not constantly adjusting your interpretation based on recent volatility. The volume weighting adds a layer of confirmation that most oscillators lack entirely. Moves on high volume carry more weight which aligns with how markets actually work. Weaknesses No indicator predicts the future. This indicator tells you about momentum and regime but it does not tell you where to place your stop or what your target should be. It is a tool not a strategy. The adaptive period can occasionally shift during volatile transitions which may cause the indicator to behave slightly differently than expected. The smoothing minimizes this but it can still happen. Like all oscillators this indicator is better at identifying conditions than timing exact entries. A cross into oversold does not mean price stops falling immediately. It means conditions favor a bounce but the timing of that bounce requires additional analysis. The regime detection has a slight lag because it needs data to determine whether the market is trending or ranging. At the exact moment of a regime change the indicator may still show the previous state for a few bars. What This Is Not This is not a signal service. There are no buy and sell arrows because markets are more nuanced than that. A bullish cross in a range means something completely different than a bullish cross in a trend and treating them the same is how traders lose money. This is not a holy grail. It will not turn a losing trader into a winning trader on its own. It is a well built tool that gives you better information than the standard Fisher Transform. This is not overfitted to historical data. The techniques used here are based on principles that have been validated across decades of market data. There is no curve fitting or optimization to make backtests look good. Final Thoughts I built this because I got tired of indicators that looked good in marketing but fell apart in live trading. The standard Fisher Transform has real value but the standard implementation has real problems. This version solves those problems using math that actually makes sense. If you understand what the indicator is telling you and combine it with solid risk management and market structure analysis, it will serve you well. If you are looking for something to tell you exactly when to buy and sell, keep looking because that does not exist. This is an excellent indicator on the 5-15 time frame. Use it wisely.

Mean-Reversion with CooldownThis strategy requires no indicators or fundamental analysis. It is designed for longer-term positions and works especially well on unleveraged instruments with strong long-term upward trends, such as precious metals. Feel free to experiment with different timeframes — I’ve found that 1-hour charts work particularly well for cryptocurrencies. The idea is to filter out ongoing bear phases as effectively as possible and capitalize on long-term bull runs. The script implements an idea that came to me in a state of complete sleep deprivation: open a random long position with a fixed take-profit (TP) and a tight stop-loss (SL). If the TP is hit — great, we simply try again. If the SL is triggered — too bad, we pause for a while and then try again. ## Cooldown (Waiting) Mechanism The waiting mechanism is simple: the more consecutive SL hits we get, the longer we wait before opening the next trade. The waiting time is measured in closed candles, and thus depends on the timeframe you are using. ## Two cooldown calculation modes are currently supported: ### 1. FIBONACCI The cooldown follows the Fibonacci sequence, based on the number of consecutive losses: 1st loss → wait 1 bar 2nd loss → wait 1 bar 3rd loss → wait 2 or 3 bars (depending on definition) 4th loss → wait 3 or 5 bars etc. ### 2. POWER OF TWO The cooldown increases exponentially: 1st loss → wait 2 bars 2nd loss → wait 4 bars 3rd loss → wait 8 bars 4th loss → wait 16 bars and so on, using the formula 2ⁿ. ## Configurable Parameters ### Cooldown Pause Calculation The settings allow you to define the SL and TP as percentages of the position value. The "Cooldown Pause Calculation" option determines how the next cooldown duration is computed after a losing trade. The system keeps track of how many consecutive losses have occurred since the last profitable trade. That counter is then used to compute how many bars we must wait before opening the next position. ### Maximum Cooldown The "Max Cooldown Candles" setting defines the maximum number of bars we are allowed to wait before placing a new trade. This prevents the strategy from “locking itself out” for too long and mitigates the fear of missing out (FOMO). Once the cooldown duration reaches this maximum, the system essentially wraps around and starts the progression again. In the script, this is handled using a simple modulo operation based on the chosen maximum.

Trend Breakout & Ratchet Stop System [Market Filter]Description: This strategy implements a robust trend-following system designed to capture momentum moves while strictly managing downside risk through a multi-stage "Ratchet" exit mechanism and broad market filters. It is designed for swing traders who want to align individual stock entries with the overall market direction. How it works: 1. Market Regime Filters (The "Safety Check") Before taking any position, the strategy checks the health of the broader market to avoid "catching falling knives." Broad Market Filter: By default, it checks NASDAQ:QQQ (adjustable). If the benchmark is trading below its SMA 200, the strategy assumes a Bear Market and suppresses all new long entries. Volatility Filter (VIX): Uses CBOE:VIX to gauge fear. If the VIX is above a specific threshold (Default: 32), entries are paused, and existing positions can optionally be closed to preserve capital. 2. Entry Logic Entries are based on Momentum and Trend confirmation. A position is opened if filters are clear AND one of the following occurs: Golden Cross: SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50. SMA Breakouts: A "Three-Bar-Break" logic confirms a breakout above the SMA 50, 100, or 200 (price must establish itself above the moving average). 3. The "Ratchet" Exit System The exit logic evolves as the trade progresses, tightening risk like a ratchet: Stage 0 (Initial Risk): Starts with a standard percentage Stop Loss from the entry price. Stage 1 (Breakeven/Lock): Once the price rises by Profit Step 1 (e.g., +10%), the Stop Loss jumps to a tighter level and locks there. This secures the initial move. Stage 2 (Trailing Mode): If the price continues to rise to Profit Step 2 (e.g., +15%), the Stop Loss converts into a dynamic Trailing Stop relative to the Highest High. This allows the trade to run as long as the trend persists. Additional Exits: Dead Cross: Closes position if SMA 25 crosses under SMA 50. VIX Panic: Emergency exit if volatility spikes above the threshold. Settings & Customization: SMAs: Adjustable lengths for all Moving Averages. Filters: Toggle Market/VIX filters on/off and choose your benchmark ticker (e.g., SPY or QQQ). Risk Management: Fully customizable percentages for the Ratchet steps (Initial SL, Stage 1 Trigger, Trailing distance).
