Smart Market Bias [PhenLabs]📊 Smart Market Bias Indicator (SMBI)
Version: PineScript™ v6
Description
The Smart Market Bias Indicator (SMBI) is an advanced technical analysis tool that combines multiple statistical approaches to determine market direction and strength. It utilizes complexity analysis, information theory (Kullback Leibler divergence), and traditional technical indicators to provide a comprehensive market bias assessment. The indicator features adaptive parameters based on timeframe and trading style, with real-time visualization through a sophisticated dashboard.
🔧 Components
Complexity Analysis: Measures price movement patterns and trend strength
KL Divergence: Statistical comparison of price distributions
Technical Overlays: RSI and Bollinger Bands integration
Filter System: Volume and trend validation
Visual Dashboard: Dynamic color-coded display of all components
Simultaneous current timeframe + higher time frame analysis
🚨Important Explanation Feature🚨
By hovering over each individual cell in this comprehensive dashboard, you will get a thorough and in depth explanation of what each cells is showing you

📌 Usage Guidelines
Based on your own trading style you should alter the timeframe length that you would like to be analyzing with your dashboard
The longer the term of the position you are planning on entering the higher timeframe you should have your dashboard set to
Bias Interpretation:
Values > 50% indicate bullish bias
Values < 50% indicate bearish bias
Neutral zone: 45-55% suggests consolidation
✅ Best Practices:
Use appropriate timeframe preset for your trading style
Monitor all components for convergence/divergence
Consider filter strength for signal validation
Use color intensity as confidence indicator
⚠️ Limitations
Requires sufficient historical data for accurate calculations
Higher computational complexity on lower timeframes
May lag during extremely volatile conditions
Best performance during regular market hours
What Makes This Unique
Multi-Component Analysis: Combines complexity theory, statistical analysis, and traditional technical indicators
Adaptive Parameters: Automatically optimizes settings based on timeframe
Triple-Layer Filtering: Uses trend, volume, and minimum strength thresholds
Visual Confidence System: Color intensity indicates signal strength
Multi-Timeframe Capabilities: Allowing the trader to analyze not only their current time frame but also the higher timeframe bias
🔧 How It Works
The indicator processes market data through four main components:
Complexity Score (40% weight): Analyzes price returns and pattern complexity
Kullback Leibler Divergence (30% weight): Compares current and historical price distributions
RSI Analysis (20% weight): Momentum and oversold/overbought conditions
Bollinger Band Position (10% weight): Price position relative to volatility
Underlying Method
Maintains rolling windows of price data for multiple calculations
Applies custom normalization using hyperbolic tangent function
Weights component scores based on reliability and importance
Generates final bias percentage with confidence visualization
💡 Note: For optimal results, use in conjunction with price action analysis and consider multiple timeframe confirmation. The indicator performs best when all components show alignment.
