Quant Trend + Donchian (Educational, Public-Safe)What this does
Educational, public-safe visualization of a quant regime model:
• Trend : EMA(64) vs EMA(256) (EWMAC proxy)
• Breakout : Donchian channel (200)
• Volatility-awareness : internal z-scores (not plotted) for concept clarity
Why it’s useful
• Shows when trend & breakout align (clean regimes) vs conflict (chop)
• Helps explain why volatility-aware systems size up in smooth trends and scale down in noise
How to read it
• EMA64 above EMA256 with price near/above Donchian high → trend-following alignment
• EMA64 below EMA256 with price near/below Donchian low → bearish alignment
• Inside channel with EMAs tangled → range/chop risk
Notes
• Indicator is educational only (no orders).
• Built entirely with TradingView built-ins.
• For consistent visuals: enable “Indicator values on price scale” and disable “Scale price chart only” in Settings → Scales .
Donchian Channels (DC)
QuantumFlowEN
What it is
QuantumFlow - blends liquidity-sweep reversals with ATR-normalized momentum continuation, gated by a light regime filter. is a non-repainting, on-close indicator that fuses two complementary engines:
Sweep-Reversal (SR): seeks liquidity sweeps (wick > ATR×X) around prior swing extremes, then waits for a micro BOS (break of short-term structure) and alignment with a VWAP±σ channel and Donchian midline.
Momentum-Continuation (MC): normalizes rate-of-change by ATR to detect momentum bursts with hysteresis, so continuation entries don’t flip/flop in chop.
A light Regime layer (Kaufman Efficiency Ratio) controls when signals are allowed at all.
On top of that, you can optionally require HTF EMA filter, volume expansion, session gating, and volatility guards. All signals are computed on bar close; there is no lookahead.
Why it’s different
Rather than a single trigger, QuantumFlow combines context (regime/trend), location (sweep → BOS near VWAP band), and impulse (ATR-normalized momentum with hysteresis). The exact thresholds and sequencing are tuned and encapsulated in presets, so the UI stays minimal while keeping behavior consistent.
How to use
Choose a Preset (Very Conservative → Very Aggressive).
Conservative/Balanced for choppier FX/indices; Aggressive for crypto scalps.
(Optional) Keep Use HTF EMA ON for additional trend bias on intraday charts.
Leave Use Sweep-Reversal and Use Momentum-Continuation both ON at first; later you can test them separately.
Enable Volume filter and, if needed, Session window to match your market.
Use signals as contextual prompts (BUY/SELL markers). Entries, risk and exits are up to your plan; a typical approach is structure-based invalidation (beyond the sweep/BOS anchor) and partials vs VWAP/Donchian.
Presets (quick guide)
Very Conservative / Conservative — fewer signals, stronger context; good for higher TFs or sideways regimes.
Balanced — default mix.
Aggressive / Very Aggressive — more permissive; suitable for liquid, trendy sessions (e.g., crypto London/US overlaps).
Notes & limitations
Signals are generated on close only, but any execution still depends on your brokerage/venue fills.
Hidden internal thresholds (regime/momentum/structure) are intentionally not exposed to keep behavior stable and to protect the method’s edge.
Risk disclosure

Что это
QuantumFlow — сочетает развороты после снятия ликвидности и импульсные продолжения, нормированные ATR, под контролем режима. Индикатор без перерисовки (сигналы на закрытии бара), который объединяет два блока:
Sweep-Reversal (SR): поиск снятия ликвидности (длинные хвосты относительно ATR) у предыдущих экстремумов → короткий BOS по микроструктуре → проверка расположения относительно VWAP±σ и середины канала Дончиана.
Momentum-Continuation (MC): импульс через ROC, нормированный ATR, с гистерезисом — чтобы продолжения не «дребезжали» во флэте.
Лёгкий слой Regime (коэффициент эффективности Кауфмана) решает, когда вообще разрешать сигналы.
Дополнительно доступны фильтры HTF EMA, объёма, сессий и волатильности. Все проверки выполняются на закрытии бара, без заглядывания вперёд.
Чем отличается
QuantumFlow не опирается на один триггер: он совмещает контекст (режим/тренд), локацию (sweep → BOS рядом с VWAP-полосой) и импульс (моментум с нормировкой и гистерезисом). Точные пороги и порядок проверок инкапсулированы в пресеты, поэтому интерфейс остаётся минимальным, а поведение — стабильным.
Как пользоваться
Выберите Preset (от Very Conservative до Very Aggressive).
Conservative/Balanced — для более «рваных» режимов, старших ТФ;
Aggressive — для скальпа на ликвидных сессиях (крипто: Лондон/США).
(Опционально) Оставьте Use HTF EMA включённым для доп. тренд-фильтра на интрадей.
Сначала держите Sweep-Reversal и Momentum-Continuation включёнными; позже можно тестировать по отдельности.
Включите фильтр объёма и при необходимости сессии.
Относитесь к меткам BUY/SELL как к контекстным подсказкам. Точка входа, риск и выход — по вашему плану: популярный вариант — инвалидатор за уровнем sweep/BOS, частичная фиксация к VWAP/Donchian.
Пресеты (кратко)
Very Conservative / Conservative — меньше сигналов, строже контекст; удобно для старших ТФ и боковиков.
Balanced — профиль «по умолчанию».
Aggressive / Very Aggressive — более частые сигналы; под трендовые и ликвидные часы.
Важно
Сигналы формируются на закрытии, но исполнение зависит от вашей площадки/ликвидности.
Внутренние пороги Regime/Momentum/Structure намеренно не вынесены в UI для стабильности поведения и сохранения уникальности методики.

Скрипт носит образовательный характер и не является инвестиционной рекомендацией. Торговля связана с риском; прошлые результаты не гарантируют будущие. Проверяйте работу на своих инструментах/ТФ и используйте независимый риск-план (сайзинг, дневной лимит, инвалидаторы).
Smoothed Basis Overview and Purpose
The script calculates a smoothed mid-range basis between the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, then applies a smoothing function (smoothed moving average) to show the trend direction or momentum in a less noisy way. The area between the basis and its smoothed value is color-filled to visually highlight when the basis is above or below the smoothed average, signaling potentially bullish or bearish momentum.
Indicator Setup
length = Period length for calculating the highest and lowest values.
signal = Smoothing period used to smooth the basis.
offset =Optional horizontal shift to the plots (default 0).
Core Calculations
lower = Finds the lowest low over the past length bars.
upper = Finds the highest high over the past length bars.
basis = Calculates the midpoint between the highest and lowest.
Smoothing Calculation (Smoothed Moving Average - SMMA)
Declares smma as 0.0 initially. If the previous smma value is not available (like on the first bar), initializes with a simple moving average of basis over signal bars. Else applies formula
which gives a smoother version of basis which reacts less to sudden changes.
Plotting and Color Fill
Plots the raw basis line and smoothed basis line .
Fills the area between the basis and smoothed basis lines:
Greenish fill if the basis is above the smoothed value (potentially bullish).
Reddish fill if the basis is below the smoothed value (potentially bearish).
Interpretation and Use
The indicator visually shows where price ranges are shifting by tracking the midpoint between recent highs and lows.
The smoothed basis serves as a trend or momentum filter by dampening noise in the basis line.
When the basis is above the smoothed line (green fill), it signals upward momentum or strength; below it (red fill) suggests downward momentum or weakness.
The length and signal parameters allow tuning for different timeframes or asset volatility.
In summary, this code creates a custom smoothed oscillator based on the midpoint range of price extremes, highlighting trend changes via color fills and smoothening price action noise with an SMMA.
[DEM] Donchian Oscillator Donchian Oscillator is designed to measure the relative position of recent price action within the Donchian Channel by calculating how many bars have passed since the most recent highest high versus the most recent lowest low over a specified lookback period. The indicator computes the difference between bars since the last low and bars since the last high, then applies smoothing using an RMA to create an oscillator that fluctuates around a zero centerline displayed in a separate pane below the main chart. The oscillator uses gradient coloring from red (negative values indicating recent lows dominate) through purple (neutral) to green (positive values indicating recent highs dominate), helping traders identify momentum shifts and potential overbought/oversold conditions based on whether price is closer to making new highs or new lows within the specified range.
[DEM] Donchian Moving Average Donchian Moving Average is designed to create a smoothed trend-following indicator by combining Donchian Channel methodology with moving average smoothing to reduce noise and provide clearer directional signals. The indicator calculates the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (default 20 bars), then applies additional smoothing using an RMA (default 10 periods) to create a more stable trend line. The resulting moving average changes color from blue to red based on its relationship to its own short-term smoothed version (5-period RMA), with blue indicating upward momentum and red indicating downward momentum, while also coloring the price bars to match the trend direction for enhanced visual clarity of the overall market bias.
[DEM] Donchian Cloud Donchian Cloud is designed to create a visual cloud overlay on the price chart using two Donchian Channel midlines of different periods (26 and 117 bars) to identify trend direction and potential support/resistance zones. The indicator calculates the average of the highest high and lowest low for each period, plots these as nearly transparent blue lines, and fills the area between them with a color-coded cloud that changes from blue to red when the longer-period midline (117) crosses above the shorter-period midline (26), indicating a potential bearish shift in the longer-term trend. This cloud system helps traders visualize the relationship between short-term and long-term price equilibrium levels, with the cloud color providing a quick reference for overall trend bias and the cloud boundaries offering dynamic support and resistance levels.
[DEM] Donchian Channels Bars Donchian Channels Bars is designed to color-code price bars based on their relationship to Donchian Channel breakouts by comparing short-term and long-term highest high and lowest low levels. The indicator uses two configurable lookback periods (default 1 and 20 bars) and colors bars green when the shorter-period highest high equals the longer-period highest high (indicating an upward breakout or new high), red when the shorter-period lowest low equals the longer-period lowest low (indicating a downward breakout or new low), and purple when neither condition is met. This visual system helps traders quickly identify when price is making significant moves beyond established ranges, with green bars highlighting potential bullish breakouts above recent resistance and red bars highlighting potential bearish breakouts below recent support levels.
VWAP Price ChannelVWAP Price Channel cuts the crust off of a traditional price channel (Donchian Channel) by anchoring VWAPs at the highs and lows. By doing this, the flat levels, characteristic of traditional Donchian Channels, are no more!
Author's Note: This indicator is formed with no inherent use, and serves solely as a thought experiment.
> Concept
I would be hesitant to call this a "predictive" indicator, however the behavior of it would suggest it could be considered at least partially predictive
Essentially, the Anchored VWAPs creates something from otherwise nothing.
While the DC upper or lower values are staying flat, the VWAPs improvise based on price and volume to project a level that may be a better representation of where future highs or lows may settle.
Visually, this looks like we have cut off the corners of the Donchian Channel.
Note: Notice how we are calculating values before the corners are realized.
> Implementation
While this is only a concept indicator, The specific application I've gone with for this, is a sort of supertrend-ish display (A Trend Flipping Trailing Stop Loss).
The script uses basic logic to create a trend direction, and then displays the Anchored VWAPs as a form of trailing stop loss.
While "In Trend", the script fills in the area between the VWAP and Price in the direction of trend.
When new highs or lows are made while in trend, the opposite VWAP will start to generate at the new highs or lows. These happen on every new high or low, so they are not indicating the trend shift, but could be interpreted as breakout levels for the current trend direction in order for continuation.
Note: All values are drawn live, but when using higher timeframes, there is a natural calculation discrepancy when using live data vs. historical.
> Technicals
In this script, I'm simply detecting new highs or lows from the DC and using those as the anchor frequency on the built-in VWAP function.
So each time a new high or low is made based on DC, the VWAP function re-anchors to the high or low of the candle.
Past that, I have implemented some logic in order to account for a common occurrence I faced during development.
Frequently, the price would outpace the anchored VWAP, so we would end up with the VWAP being further from price than the actual DC upper or lower.
Due to this, what I have ended up with was a third value which, rather than switching between raw VWAP values and DC values, it adjusts the value based on the change in the VWAP value.
This can be simply thought of as a "Start + Change" type of setup.
By doing this, I can use the change values from the actual anchored VWAP, and under normal conditions, this will also be the true VWAP value.
However, situationally, I am able to update the start value which we're applying the VWAP change to.
In other words, when these situations happen, the VWAP change is added to the new (closer to price) DC value.
The specific trend logic being used is nothing fancy at all, we are simply checking if a new high or low is created and setting the trend in that direction.
This is in line with some traditional DC Strategies.
To those who made it here,
Just remember:
The chart may be ugly, but it's the fastest analysis of the data you can get.
Nicer displays often come at the hidden cost of latency.
You have to shoot your shot to make it.

Close-Based Donchian ChannelDonchian Channel Script that is referenced of the close of candles rather than highs and lows.
SMT - Squeeze Momentum Trend📊 Squeeze Momentum Trend
An indicator that combines volatility, momentum, and trend to anticipate the market’s strongest moves. 🚀
✅ Squeeze → when Bollinger Bands tighten inside the Keltner Channel: the market is in compression, ready to “explode”.
✅ Momentum → shows direction and strength (green = bullish push, red = bearish push).
✅ Trend Filter → confirms direction using a higher timeframe EMA (to avoid false signals).
💡 In practice:
🔥 If price breaks out of a squeeze with positive momentum → potential long breakout.
❄️ If it breaks out with negative momentum → potential short breakout.
📌 Perfect for spotting key moments when the market stops “resting” and makes its next big move.
Queso Heat IndexQueso Heat Index (QHI) — ATR-Adaptive Edge-Pressure Gauge
QHI measures how strongly price is pressing the edges of a rolling consolidation window. It heats up when price repeatedly pushes the window up , cools down when it pushes down , and drifts back toward neutral when price wanders in the middle. Everything is ATR-normalized so it adapts across symbols and timeframes.
Output: a signed score from −100 … +100
> 0 = bullish pressure (hot)
< 0 = bearish pressure (cold)
≈ 0 = neutral (no side dominating)
What you’ll see on the chart
Rolling “box” (Donchian window): top, bottom, and midline.
Optional compact-box shading when the window height is small relative to ATR.
Background “thermals”: tinted red when Heat > Hot threshold, blue when Heat < Cold threshold (intensity scales with the score).
Optional Heat line (−100..+100), optional 0/±80 thresholds, and optional push markers (PU/PD).
Optional table showing the current Heat score, placeable in any corner.
How it works (under the hood)
Consolidation window — Over lookback bars we track highest high (top), lowest low (bottom), and midpoint. The window is called “compact” when box height ≤ ATR × maxRangeATR .
ATR-based push detection — A bar is a push-up if high > prior window high + (epsATR × ATR + tick buffer) . A push-down if low < prior window low − (epsATR × ATR + tick buffer) . We also measure how many ATRs beyond the edge the bar traveled.
Heat gains (symmetric) — Each push adds/subtracts Heat:
base gain + streak bonus × consecutive pushes + magnitude bonus × ATRs beyond edge .
Decay toward neutral — Each bar, Heat decays by a percentage. Decay is:
– higher in the middle band of the box, and
– adaptive : the farther (in ATRs) from the relevant band (top when hot, bottom when cold), the faster it decays; hugging the band slows decay.
Midpoint bias (optional) — Gentle drift toward hot when trading above mid, toward cold when below mid, with a dead-zone near mid so tiny wobbles don’t matter.
Reset on regime flip (optional) — First valid push from the opposite side can snap Heat back to 0 before applying new gains.
How to read it
Rising hot with slow decay → strong upside pressure; pullbacks that hold near the top band often continue.
Flip to cold after being hot → regime change risk; tighten risk or consider the other side.
Compact window + rising hot (or cold) → squeeze-and-go conditions.
Neutral (≈ 0) → edges aren’t being pressured; expect mean-reversion inside the box.
Key inputs (what they do)
Window & ATR
lookback : size of the Donchian window (longer = smoother, slower).
atrLen : ATR period for all volatility-scaled thresholds.
maxRangeATR : defines “compact” windows for optional shading.
topBottomFrac : how thick the top/bottom bands are (used for decay/pressure logic).
Push detection (ATR-based)
epsATR : how many ATRs beyond the prior edge to count as a real push.
tickBuff : fixed extra ticks beyond the ATR epsilon (filters micro-breaches).
Heat gains
gainBase : main fuel per push.
gainPerStreak : rewards consecutive pushes.
gainPer1ATRBrk : adds more for stronger breakouts past the edge.
resetOppSide : snap back to 0 on the first opposite-side push.
Decay
decayPct : baseline % removed each bar.
decayAccelMid : multiplies decay when price is in the middle band.
adaptiveDecay , decayMinMult , decayPerATR , decayMaxMult : scale decay with ATR distance from the nearest “target” band (top if hot, bottom if cold).
Midpoint bias
useMidBias : enable/disable drift above/below midpoint.
midDeadFrac : width of neutral (no-drift) zone around mid.
midBiasPerBar : max drift per bar at the box edge.
Visuals (all default to OFF for a clean chart)
Plot Heat line + Show 0/±80 lines (only shows thresholds if Heat line is on).
Hot/Cold thresholds & transparency floors for background shading.
Push markers (PU/PD).
Heat score table : toggle on; choose any corner.
Tuning quick-starts
Daily trending equities : lookback 40–60; epsATR 0.10–0.25; gainBase 12–18; gainPerStreak 0.5–1.5; gainPer1ATRBrk 1–2; decayPct 3–6; adaptiveDecay ON (decayPerATR 0.5–0.8).
Intraday / noisy : raise epsATR and tickBuff to filter noise; keep decayPct modest so Heat can build.
Weekly swing : longer lookback/atrLen; slightly lower decayPct so regimes persist.
Alerts (included)
New window HIGH (push-up)
New window LOW (push-down)
Heat turned HOT (crosses above your Hot threshold)
Heat turned COLD (crosses below your Cold threshold)
Best practices & notes
Use QHI as a pressure gauge , not a standalone system—combine with your entry/exit plan and risk rules.
On thin symbols, increase epsATR and/or tickBuff to avoid spurious pushes.
Gap days can register large pushes; ATR scaling helps but consider context.
Want the Heat in a separate pane? Use the companion panel version; keep this overlay for background/box visuals.
Pine v6. Warm-up: values appear as soon as one bar of window history exists.
TL;DR
QHI quantifies how hard price is leaning on a consolidation edge.
It’s ATR-adaptive, streak- and magnitude-aware, and cools off intelligently when momentum fades.
Watch for thermals (background), the score (−100..+100), and fresh push alerts to time entries in the direction of pressure.
TrendZonesTrendZones
This is an indicator which I use, have tested, tweaked and added features to for use in my trend following investing system. I got the idea for it when for some reason I was looking for a dynamic reference to measure the height of a channel or something. In search of this I made MA’s of the high and low borders of a Donchian channel which turned out to be two near parallel and stunningly smooth curves. This visual was so appealing that I immediately tried to turn it into a replacement for the KeltCOG which I previously used in my system. First I created a curve in the middle of the upper and lower curves, which I called COG (Center Of Gravity). Then I decided to enter only one lookback and let the script create a Donchian channel with half the lookback and use this to create the curves with an MA of whole lookback. For this reason the minimum lookback is set to 14, enough room for the Donchian Channel of 7 periods. This Donchian ChanneI has a special way of calculating the borders, involving a 5 period Median value. Thanks to this these borders are really a resistance and support level, which won’t change at a whim, e.g. when a ‘dead cat bounce’ occurs. I prevented the Donchian channel to show itself between the curves and only pop out from behind these. These pop outs now function as “strong trend zones”. I gave it colors (blue:-strong up, green: moderate up, orange: moderate down, red: strong down, near COG: gray, curves horizontal: gray) and it looked very appealing. I tested it in different time frames. In some weekend, when I was bored, I observed for a few hours the minute chart of bitcoin. It turned out that you can reliably tell that an uptrend ends when the candles go under the COG beginning a downtrend. Uptrend starts again once the candles go above COG. As Trends on minute charts only last around half an hour, this entertainment made the potential of this indicator very clear to me in just one afternoon.
Risk Management, Safe Level and Logical Stops.
In the inputs are settings for “Risk Tolerance”, and to activate “Show Logical Stop Level” (activated in example chart) and “Show Safe Level”. As a rule of thump a trade should not expose the invested capital to a risk of losing more than 2 percent. I divided my investment capital in ten equal parts which are allocated to ten different stocks or other instruments or kept liquid. This means that when a position is closed by triggering a Stop with a loss of 20 percent, the invested capital suffers only 2 percent (20% x 10% = 2%). This is why the value for “Risk Tolerance” has a default of 20. Because I put my Stops on the lower curve, a “Safe Level” can be calculated such that when you buy for a price below or at this level, the stop will protect the position sufficiently. Because I only buy when the instrument is in uptrend, the buying price should be between COG and Safe Level. Although I never do that, putting the stop at other curves is feasible and when you want to widen the stop (I never lower my stops btw) in a downtrend situation, even 1 ATR below the “Low Border”. I call these “Logical Stop Levels”, marked with dark green circles on the lower curve when safe buying by placing the Stoploss on this curve is possible, gray circles on the other curves, on the Upper Curve navy when price enters very profitable level. In a downtrend situation maroon circles appear.
Target lines
When I open a position I always set a Stoploss and a Target, for this purpose two types of Target values can be set and corresponding Target lines activated. These lines are drawn above the “High Border” at the set distance. If one expects some price to be used, differences will occur.
Other Features
Support Zone, this is 1 ATR below the “Low Border”, the maroon circles of the “Logal Stops” are placed on this “Support level”.
Stop distance and Channel Width. (activated in example chart) These are reported in a two cell table in the right lower corner of the main panel. I created this because I want to be able to check the volatility, whether the channel shows a situation in which safe buying in most levels of the channel is possible or what risk you take when you buy now and set the Stop at the nearest logical level (which is not always the “Lower curve”). This feature comes in handy for creating a setup I propose in the “Day Trading Fantasy” below.
Some General and User Settings. I never activate this, perhaps you will.
Use Of TrendZones In My System.
Create a list of stocks in uptrend. I define ‘stock in uptrend’ as in uptrend zone in all three monthly, weekly and daily charts, all three should at the same time be in uptrend. The advantage of TrendZones is that you can immediately see in which zone the candle moves.
Opening a position in a stock from the above list. I do this only when in both the daily and weekly the green dot on the lower curve indicates a buying opportunity. This is usually not the case in most of the items of the list, this feature thus provides a good timing for opening a position. Sometimes you need to wait a few weeks for this to happen.
Setting a target over a position. For this I use the Target percent line of the weekly chart with the default value of 10.
Updating the Stoploss and Target values. Every week or two weeks I set these to the new values of the “Lower Curve” and the Target line of the weekly. Attention: never shift down Stops, only up or let them stay the same when the curve moves down. I never use Stop levels on other curves.
I Check the charts whenever I like to do this. Close the position when the uptrend obviously shifts down. Otherwise I let the profits run until the Target triggers which closes the position with some profit.
For selecting stocks an checking charts for volume events, I also use a subpanel indicator called “TZanalyser”, which borrows the visual of my “Fibonacci Zone Oscillator”, is based on TrendZones and includes code from my REVE indicators. I intend to publish that as well.
Day Trading Fantasy.
Day trading is an attempt to earn a dime by opening a position in the morning and close it during the day again with a profit (or a loss). Before the market closes, you close all day trading positions.
In my fantasy the “Logical Stop Level” is repurposed for use as entry point and the ATR-based Target line is used to provide a target setting in an intraday chart, like e.g. 15 minute. To do this the “Safe Level” should be limited to between Channel width and COG. This can be done by showing “Safe Level” and “Channel Width” and then set “Risk Tolerance” to around the shown Channel Width. In this setting you can then wait for the green circle to show up for entering your trade and protect it with the stop.
I don’t know if this works fine or if it’s better than other day trade systems, because I don’t do day trading.
Take care and have fun.
Expanded Cloud [LuxAlgo]The Expanded Cloud tool allows traders to identify and follow trends accurately. It is based on the well-known Donchian Channels, but with enhanced features.
It features a trailing cloud that expands with the price and a trading stats dashboard.
🔶 USAGE
The tool is super easy to use. Traders can identify bigger or smaller trends just by adjusting the length from the settings panel.
Trend identification is based on Donchian Channels. An uptrend is indicated when the cloud is located below the price, while a downtrend is indicated when the cloud is above it.
Dots signal the start of a new trend, and the width of the clouds identifies the strength of the price expansion. The wider the cloud, the bigger the move.
The expanded cloud, due to its visual, can also act as a trailing stop.
🔹 Trend Identification
As we can see in the chart above, different length values identify different trends on the same BTC daily chart. Larger values identify larger trends.
🔹 Cloud Expansion
From the settings panel, traders can adjust how the clouds expand based on the Expansion % parameter. It accepts values from 0 to 100, which controls how much of the expansion is taken into account. Higher values will make the cloud expand and get closer to the price faster.
When the cloud moves opposite to the direction of the indicated trend (e.g: the cloud decreases while being below the price), it is often indicative of the end of a retracement, and we can expect the price to move with the indicated trend.
The chart above shows the effect of different Expansion % values.
🔹 Dashboard
The trading statistics dashboard informs traders of key metrics derived from the tool. The following are notable:
PNL: Theoretical profit or loss from all trends identified by the tool in the right scale units.
EXPECT.: Expected value of each trade. It is derived from win rate and risk-to-reward metrics.
AVG: 1st TOUCH: The average number of bars from the beginning of a new trend until the price touches the cloud for the first time.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Length for trend detection
Expansion %: Percentage of price expansion for cloud formation
Source: Source of the data

RSI-EMA-Crossing with Donchian-Stop-LossThe Donchian RSI Indicator is a visual tool that combines momentum and trend analysis to identify high-quality long opportunities based on RSI crossovers, price action, and Donchian channel dynamics.
How It Works
Momentum Signal: A bullish RSI crossover is detected when the RSI crosses above its moving average.
Trend Filter: A signal is only valid if the crossover occurs while the price is above its moving average – filtering out entries against the prevailing trend.
Signal Candle: The high of the crossover candle is stored.
Entry Trigger: A valid signal occurs when a later candle closes above that signal high.
Stop-Loss (Visual Only)
The lower band of the Donchian Channel acts as a visual reference for a dynamic stop-loss level.
Features
Customizable RSI, Donchian Channel, and moving average lengths
Selectable MA types: SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA
Signal candle highlighted (yellow background)
Entry points labeled on the chart
Price MA and Donchian Channel plotted
Trend filter improves signal quality by confirming upward bias
Use Case
Designed for swing and position traders
Optimized for use on daily or 4H charts
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions
EMADC - BoB📌 EMADC - BoB Indicator Description
🔹 Introduction
The EMADC - BoB (Exponential Moving Average & Donchian Channel - Buy or Bear) is an advanced technical indicator designed to help traders identify optimal buy and sell zones in the market. It combines the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the median of the Donchian Channel, two powerful indicators widely used by professional traders.
The main goal of EMADC - BoB is to provide a clear trend reading by coloring the area between the EMA and the Donchian median. This allows traders to easily visualize buying and selling opportunities based on market dynamics.
⸻
🔹 How the Indicator Works
📌 Components of the Indicator:
• EMA (Exponential Moving Average): A reactive moving average that helps track short to medium-term trends.
• Median of the Donchian Channel (Donchian Median): Calculated as the average of the highest and lowest prices over the last X periods. It represents an equilibrium zone between supply and demand.
• Dynamic Colored Zone:
• 🟢 Green → Indicates a bullish phase → Look for buying opportunities.
• 🔴 Red → Indicates a bearish phase → Look for selling opportunities.
When the EMA is above the Donchian median, the market is in a bullish momentum, and it is preferable to focus on long positions (buys).
Conversely, when the EMA falls below the Donchian median, the market is under bearish pressure, and traders should look for short positions (sells).
⸻
🔹 Usage and Customization
The EMADC - BoB indicator is fully customizable to adapt to different trading strategies.

Long and Short Term Highs and LowsLong and Short Term Highs and Lows
Overview:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify significant price points by marking new highs and lows over two distinct timeframes—a long-term and a short-term period. It achieves this by drawing optional channel lines that outline the highest highs and lowest lows over the chosen time periods and by plotting visual markers (triangles) on the chart when a new high or low is detected.
Key Features:
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
Long Term: Uses a user-defined “Time Period” (default 52) and “Time Unit” (default: Weekly) to determine long-term high and low levels.
Short Term: Uses a separate “Time Period” (default 50) and “Time Unit” (default: Daily) to compute short-term high and low levels.
Optional Channel Display:
For both long and short term periods, you have the option to display a channel by plotting the highest and lowest values as lines. This visual channel helps to delineate the range within which the price has traded over the selected period.
New High/Low Markers:
The indicator identifies moments when the highest high or lowest low is updated relative to the previous bar.
When a new high is established, an up triangle is plotted above the bar.
Conversely, when a new low occurs, a down triangle is plotted below the bar.
Separate input toggles allow you to enable or disable these markers independently for the long-term and short-term setups.
Inputs and Settings:
Long Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low? (STW): Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the long-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used to calculate the highest high and lowest low (default is 52).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the long-term calculation is based (default is Weekly).
Show Channel? (SCW): Toggle to display the channel lines that connect the long-term high and low levels.
Short Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low?: Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the short-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used for calculating the short-term extremes (default is 50).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the short-term calculations are based (default is Daily).
Show Channel?: Toggle to display the channel lines for the short-term highs and lows.
Indicator Logic:
Channel Calculation:
The script uses the request.security function to pull data from the specified timeframes. For each timeframe:
It calculates the lowest low over the defined period using ta.lowest.
It calculates the highest high over the defined period using ta.highest.
These values can be optionally plotted as channel lines when the “Show Channel?” option is enabled.
New High/Low Detection:
For each timeframe, the indicator compares the current high (or low) with its immediate previous value:
New High: When the current high exceeds the previous bar’s high, an up triangle is drawn above the bar.
New Low: When the current low falls below the previous bar’s low, a down triangle is drawn below the bar.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Identification:
When new highs (or lows) occur, they can signal the start of a strong upward (or downward) movement. The indicator helps you visually track these critical turning points over both longer and shorter periods.
Channel Breakouts:
The optional channel display offers additional context. Price movement beyond these channels may indicate a breakout or a significant shift in trend.
Customizable Timeframes:
You can adjust both the time period and time unit to fit your trading style—whether you’re focusing on longer-term trends or short-term price action.
Conclusion:
This indicator provides a dual-layer analysis by combining long-term and short-term perspectives, making it a versatile tool for identifying key highs and lows. Whether you are looking to confirm trend strength or spot potential breakouts, the “Long and Short Term Highs and Lows” indicator adds a valuable visual element to your TradingView charts.
Donchian and Keltner Channels Trend Following with Trailing StopLong Only Trend-following model based on Keltner Channels and Donchian Channels.
These indicators include a noise region, which allows prices to oscillate without requiring position adjustments.
When price trades above the upper band, it signals strength; when it trades below the lower band, it signals weakness.
Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average. Keltner Channels use the Average True Range (ATR), which measures daily volatility, to set channel distance.
Donchian Channel
Donchian Channels are are used to identify market trends and volatility. The upper and lower bands are based on the highest high and lowest low of a specified period. When the price moves above the upper band, it indicates a bullish breakout, while a
move below the lower band indicates a bearish breakout. The distance between the upper and lower channel of the Donchian Channel indicates the asset’s volatility.
Trend Following Model
The default settings are:
Upper Keltner and Upper Donchian Channel Length : 20
Lower Keltner and Lower Donchian Channel Length : 40
Keltner ATR Multiplier: 2
Entries, Exits and Trailing Stop
Entry : When price exceeds the upper band of at least one of these indicators.
Exit : When price undercuts the lower band of at least one of these indicators.
Trailing Stop : See below.
Trailing Stop
This is a stop-loss order that moves with the price of the underlying. It is designed to “trail” the price up (in the case of a long position) or down (for a short position), locking in profits as the price moves in a favorable direction.
At the end of day t, there was a Trailing Stop level in place. For the next day (day t + 1), the Trailing Stop will be adjusted. The new Trailing Stop will be the higher of two values:
The Trailing Stop from the previous day (day t).
The Lower Band computed at the end of day t + 1.
Donchian Reversal Signals with LabelsOverview:
This indicator is designed to identify potential reversal signals based on price action relative to two Donchian Channels. It plots **"BUY"** and **"SELL"** labels on the chart when specific conditions are met, helping traders spot potential trend reversals.
---
Key Features:
1. Dual Donchian Channels:
- The indicator uses two Donchian Channels with user-defined lengths (`length1` and `length2`).
- The upper band of each channel is the highest high over the specified period.
- The lower band of each channel is the lowest low over the specified period.
2. Reversal Signals:
- A yellow "BUY" label appears below a green (bullish) candle if:
- The previous candle is red (bearish).
- The previous red candle touches or breaches either of the lower Donchian Channels.
- A green "SELL" label appears above a red (bearish) candle if:
- The previous candle is green (bullish).
- The previous green candle touches or breaches either of the upper Donchian Channels.
3. Visual Clarity:
- The labels are placed above or below the candles for easy visibility.
- The use of colors (yellow for buy, green for sell) makes it intuitive to interpret the signals.
---
How It Works:
1. Donchian Channel Calculation:
- The upper and lower bands of the two Donchian Channels are calculated using the highest high and lowest low over the specified periods (`length1` and `length2`).
2. Candle Color Detection:
- The script identifies whether the current and previous candles are bullish (green) or bearish (red) based on their open and close prices.
3. Signal Conditions:
- For a **"BUY" signal**:
- The current candle must be green.
- The previous candle must be red and touch or breach either of the lower Donchian Channels.
- For a **"SELL" signal**:
- The current candle must be red.
- The previous candle must be green and touch or breach either of the upper Donchian Channels.
4. Label Placement:
- The labels are plotted using `shape.labelup` and `shape.labeldown` for clear visibility.
---
Input Parameters:
- **Donchian Channel Length 1 (`length1`)**: The period for the first Donchian Channel (default: 20).
- **Donchian Channel Length 2 (`length2`)**: The period for the second Donchian Channel (default: 34).
---
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the lengths of the Donchian Channels if needed.
3. Look for **"BUY"** and **"SELL"** labels on the chart:
- A **yellow "BUY" label** below a green candle suggests a potential bullish reversal.
- A **green "SELL" label** above a red candle suggests a potential bearish reversal.
4. Use these signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
---
Example Use Case:
- If the price touches the lower Donchian Channel and forms a red candle, followed by a green candle, a **"BUY" label** will appear, indicating a potential upward reversal.
- If the price touches the upper Donchian Channel and forms a green candle, followed by a red candle, a **"SELL" label** will appear, indicating a potential downward reversal.
---
Customization:
- You can modify the lengths of the Donchian Channels to suit your trading style.
- The colors and text of the labels can also be adjusted in the script if desired.
---
Disclaimer:
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential reversal signals. However, it should not be used in isolation. Always confirm signals with additional analysis and risk management strategies.
Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV)Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV)
The Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV) is a powerful tool designed to evaluate the strength of market breakouts and momentum trends , offering traders a comprehensive perspective on price action. This indicator combines the Donchian Channel with On-Balance Volume (OBV) to create a dynamic and easy-to-interpret metric scaled between -1 and 1 .
Key Features
Breakout Strength Analysis:
- The indicator assesses the strength of price breakouts relative to the upper and lower bounds of the Donchian Channel.
- Positive values close to 1 indicate a strong bullish breakout.
- Negative values close to -1 indicate a strong bearish breakout.
Momentum Detection with OBV:
- On-Balance Volume (OBV) tracks the cumulative buying and selling volume to gauge market momentum.
- The smoothed OBV trend ensures the momentum component aligns with price action, reducing noise.
Integrated Composite Value:
- Combines breakout strength and OBV momentum into a single metric for enhanced clarity.
- The final composite value highlights whether the market is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Divergence Detection:
- Spot bullish divergences when the indicator rises while price falls, suggesting a potential upward reversal.
- Identify bearish divergences when the indicator falls while price rises, hinting at a potential downward reversal.
How It Works
Donchian Channel Analysis:
- Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period to establish the upper and lower channels .
- Breakouts beyond these channels contribute to the breakout strength component.
OBV Momentum:
- Measures cumulative volume trends to validate price movements.
- Momentum is derived from the rate of change in smoothed OBV values.
Composite Calculation:
- Combines breakout strength and OBV momentum, normalized and scaled to -1 to 1 for clarity.
How to Use
Bullish Breakout:
- When the indicator value approaches 1 , it signals a strong upward breakout supported by positive OBV momentum.
- Example Action: Consider a Buy if price breaks the upper Donchian Channel with increasing OBV.
Bearish Breakout:
- When the indicator value approaches -1 , it indicates a strong downward breakout supported by negative OBV momentum.
- Example Action: Consider a Sell if price breaks the lower Donchian Channel with decreasing OBV.
Neutral Market:
- When the value is near 0 , the market is likely balanced with no significant breakout or momentum detected.
Divergence Opportunities:
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but the indicator trends upward → Potential upward reversal.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but the indicator trends downward → Potential downward reversal.
Customization Options
Donchian Channel Length: Adjust the period for the upper and lower bounds.
OBV Smoothing Length: Modify the smoothing period for OBV to fine-tune momentum detection.
Scaling Adjustments: The composite value is automatically normalized for consistency across timeframes.
Ideal Use Cases
Breakout Trading: Identify and confirm strong breakouts in volatile markets.
Momentum Confirmation: Validate price movements with volume-based momentum.
Reversal Detection: Leverage divergences to spot potential market reversals.
Example Applications
Strong Bullish Signal:
- Price breaks the upper channel , and OBV shows increasing volume → Composite value near 1 .
- Action: Enter a Buy position and set a Stop Loss below the upper channel.
Strong Bearish Signal:
- Price breaks the lower channel , and OBV shows decreasing volume → Composite value near -1 .
- Action: Enter a Sell position and set a Stop Loss above the lower channel.
Neutral Market:
- Composite value near 0 suggests indecision or consolidation. Wait for a breakout.
Limitations
Best used alongside additional tools like RSI or MACD for filtering noise and improving decision-making.
Requires careful parameter tuning based on the asset and timeframe.
Final Thoughts
The Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV) offers traders a versatile tool to navigate complex markets. By blending breakout analysis with volume-based momentum, this indicator provides an actionable edge for identifying high-probability opportunities and potential reversals.
Breakaway Fair Value Gaps [LuxAlgo]The Breakaway Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a typical FVG located at a point where the price is breaking new Highs or Lows.
🔶 USAGE
In the screenshot above, the price range is visualized by Donchian Channels.
In theory, the Breakaway FVGs should generally be a good indication of market participation, showing favor in the FVG's breaking direction. This is a combination of buyers or sellers pushing markets quickly while already at the highest high or lowest low in recent history.
While this described reasoning seems conventional, looking into it inversely seems to reveal a more effective use of these formations.
When the price is pushed to the extremities of the current range, the price is already potentially off balance and over-extended. Then an FVG is created, extending the price further out of balance.
With this in consideration, After identifying a Breakaway FVG, we could logically look for a reversion to re-balance the gap.
However, it would be illogical to believe that the FVG will immediately mitigate after formation. Because of this, the dashboard display for this indicator shows the analysis for the mitigation likelihood and timeliness.
In the example above, the information in the dashboard would read as follows (Bearish example):
Out of 949 Bearish Breakaway FVGs, 80.19% are shown to be mitigated within 60 bars, with the average mitigation time being 13 bars.
The other 19.81% are not mitigated within 60 bars. This could mean the FVG was mitigated after 60 bars, or it was never mitigated.
The unmitigated FVGs within the analysis window will extend their mitigation level to the current bar. We can see the number of bars since the formation is represented to the right of the live mitigation level.
Utilizing the current distance readout helps to better judge the likelihood of a level being mitigated.
Additionally, when considering these mitigation levels as targets, an additional indicator or analysis can be used to identify specific entries, which would further aid in a system's reliability.
🔶 SETTINGS
Trend Length: Sets the (DC) Trend length to use for Identifying Breakaway FVGs.
Show Mitigation Levels: Optionally hide mitigation levels if you would prefer only to see the Breakaway FVGs.
Maximum Duration: Sets the analysis duration for FVGs, Past this length in bars, the FVG is counted as "Un-Mitigated".
Show Dashboard: Optionally hide the dashboard.
Use Median Duration: Display the Median of the Bar Length data set rather than the Average.
Mean Reversion Entry Signal
Mean Reversion Entry Signal Indicator
The Mean Reversion Entry Signal indicator is a trading tool designed for traders looking to capitalize on market corrections. This script leverages mean reversion principles, utilizing price levels and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to generate potential entry signals for both long and short positions.
Key Features:
1. **Dynamic Price Levels**:
- The indicator calculates critical price levels over a user-defined lookback period, including:
- High (H)**: The highest price point over the lookback period.
- Low (L)**: The lowest price point over the lookback period.
- Midpoint (M)**: The average of the high and low.
- Midpoint High (Mh)** and **Midpoint Low (Ml)**: Additional reference levels derived from M for more nuanced trading signals.
2. User-Configurable Inputs:
- Lookback Period: Traders can specify the number of hours to look back for the calculations, allowing for tailored analysis that fits various trading strategies. By default the lookback is set for 24 hours, as i consider it the most adequate for day trading.
- Aggression Level: This input lets users choose their trading strategy's intensity, affecting the sensitivity of entry signals based on the percentage difference from the midpoint.
3. Entry Signal Generation:
The script evaluates market conditions to signal potential trades:
- Long Entries: Indicated when the price is below the Ml level and the price demonstrates a significant distance from the midpoint (M), coupled with RSI being near the oversold territory.
- Short Entries: Triggered when the price exceeds the Mh level, also indicating a significant distance from M, while the RSI indicates near overbought conditions.
4. Visual Indicators:
Clear visual signals are plotted directly on the chart:
- Long Signals are represented as upward triangles in green.
- Short Signals appear as downward triangles in red.
- Important price levels (M, H, L, Mh, and Ml) are displayed to provide traders with immediate context for potential trades.
5. No Entry Zone:
The area between Mh and Ml is shaded to indicate a "No Entry Zone," helping traders identify regions where conditions may not be favorable for taking new positions.
This can also be used as potencial profit taking area.
Conclusion
1. This indicator was built mainly for day trading, using timeframes between 1 minute and 1 hour. If you want to use it in 1D time frame, for instance, you should adjust the lookback period to 120 hours or so.
2. To use this as a strategy, you should not be afraid to "add to your losers" as the trade goes against you and the signals continue to appear.
Enjoy
