Biquad Band Pass FilterThis indicator utilizes a biquad band pass filter to isolate and highlight a specific frequency band in price data, helping traders focus on price movements within a targeted frequency range.
The Length parameter determines the center frequency of the filter, affecting which frequency band is isolated. Adjusting this parameter allows you to focus on different parts of the price movement spectrum.
The Bandwidth (BW) controls the width of the frequency band in octaves. It represents the bandwidth between -3 dB frequencies for the band pass filter. A narrower bandwidth results in a more focused filtering effect, isolating a tighter range of frequencies.
Key Features of Biquad Filters
Biquad filters are a type of digital filter that provides a combination of low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filtering capabilities. In this implementation, the biquad filter is configured as a band pass filter, which allows frequencies within a specified band to pass while attenuating frequencies outside this band. This is particularly useful in trading to isolate specific price movements, making it easier to detect patterns and trends within a targeted frequency range.
Biquad filters are known for their smooth response and minimal phase distortion, making them ideal for technical analysis. The customizable length and bandwidth allow for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and market conditions. Designed for real-time charting, the biquad filter operates efficiently without significant lag, ensuring timely analysis.
By incorporating this biquad band pass filter into your trading toolkit, you can enhance your chart analysis with clearer insights into specific frequency bands of price movements, leading to more informed trading decisions.
Moving Averages
Biquad High Pass FilterThis indicator utilizes a biquad high pass filter to filter out low-frequency components from price data, helping traders focus on high-frequency movements and detect rapid changes in trends.
The Length parameter determines the cutoff frequency of the filter, affecting how quickly the filter responds to changes in price. A shorter length allows the filter to react more quickly to high-frequency movements.
The Q Factor controls the sharpness of the filter. A higher Q value results in a more precise filtering effect by narrowing the frequency band. However, be cautious when setting the Q factor too high, as it can induce resonance, amplifying certain frequencies and potentially making the filter less effective by introducing unwanted noise.

Internal Bar Strength IBS [Anan]This indicator calculates and displays the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) along with its moving average. The IBS is a measure that represents where the closing price is relative to the high-low range of a given period.
█ Main Formula
The core of this indicator is the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) calculation. The basic IBS formula is:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
I enhanced the original formula by incorporating a user-defined length parameter. This modification allows for greater flexibility in analysis and interpretation. The extended version enables users to adjust the indicator's length according to their specific needs or market conditions. Notably, setting the length parameter to 1 reproduces the behavior of the original formula, maintaining backward compatibility while offering expanded functionality:
ibs = (close - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length)) / (ta.highest(high, ibs_length) - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length))
Where:
- `close` is the closing price of the current bar
- `lowest low` is the lowest low price over the specified IBS length
- `highest high` is the highest high price over the specified IBS length
█ Key Features
- Calculates IBS using a user-defined length
- Applies a moving average to the IBS values
- Offers multiple moving average types
- Includes optional Bollinger Bands or Donchian Channel overlays
- Visualizes bull and bear areas
█ Inputs
- IBS Length: The period used for IBS calculation
- MA Type: The type of moving average applied to IBS (options: SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA, Bollinger Bands, Donchian)
- MA Length: The period used for the moving average calculation
- BB StdDev: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands
█ How to Use and Interpret
1. IBS Line Interpretation:
- IBS values range from 0 to 1
- Values close to 1 indicate the close was near the high, suggesting a bullish sentiment
- Values close to 0 indicate the close was near the low, suggesting a bearish sentiment
- Values around 0.5 suggest the close was near the middle of the range
2. Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
- IBS values above 0.8 (teal zone) may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS values below 0.2 (red zone) may indicate oversold conditions
- These zones can be used to identify potential reversal points
3. Trend Identification:
- Consistent IBS values above 0.5 may indicate an uptrend
- Consistent IBS values below 0.5 may indicate a downtrend
4. Using Moving Averages:
- The yellow MA line can help smooth out IBS fluctuations
- Crossovers between the IBS and its MA can signal potential trend changes
5. Bollinger Bands/Donchian Channel:
- When enabled, these can provide additional context for overbought/oversold conditions
- IBS touching or exceeding the upper band may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS touching or falling below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions
Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always combine IBS analysis with other technical indicators, price action analysis, and broader market context for more reliable trading decisions.
SD Distance Mean BetaThe "SD Distance Mean Indicator" is a currently a developing tool designed to enhance trading precision by dynamically adjusting to market conditions. This indicator provides insights into price deviations from the mean, helping traders make inf OANDA:XAUUSD ormed decisions based on significant price movements.
Key Features:
Adaptive Length Adjustment:
The indicator dynamically adjusts the calculation period based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows it to respond to different market conditions, using a shorter length during consolidations and a longer length during trends.
Standardized Distance Calculation:
The indicator calculates the distance of the current price from the mean and standardizes it using the standard deviation. This standardized distance is then smoothed to reduce noise and provide clearer signals.
Dynamic Standard Deviation (SD) Levels:
SD levels are adjusted dynamically based on ATR, providing a more accurate representation of price volatility. These levels are further smoothed to minimize wiggling on shorter timeframes like the 30-minute chart.
Visual Cues for Trading Signals:
The indicator plots multiple SD levels (+1, +2, +3, +4 and their negatives) and highlights significant price movements. When the standardized distance line hits or exceeds these levels, it signals potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Customizable Smoothing: The smoothing length for both the standardized distance and SD levels can be customized to suit different trading strategies and timeframes. Default values are set to provide a balance between responsiveness and stability.
Usage:
Identifying Reversals : The indicator helps in spotting potential reversal points. When the smoothed standardized distance line hits +2 SD or -2 SD and rebounds, it signals a possible price reversal back towards the mean.
Confirming Trends: Dynamic SD levels provide a clear visual representation of price volatility, helping traders confirm trend strength and potential breakout points.
Enhancing Precision: By dynamically adjusting to market conditions, the indicator enhances trading precision, making it suitable for various market environments.
This script is an essential addition to any trader's toolkit, offering a blend of adaptability, precision, and visual clarity to support more informed trading decisions.
Settings:
Short Length: Period length used during consolidations.
Long Length: Period length used during trends.
ATR Length: Length for ATR calculation.
ATR Threshold: Threshold value to switch between short and long lengths.
Smoothing Length: Length for smoothing the standardized distance.
SD Smoothing Length: Length for smoothing the dynamic SD levels.
By using this indicator, traders can leverage its adaptive capabilities to navigate various market conditions effectively and enhance their trading performance on XAUUSD and other assets.
Moving Average Trend Meter [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Moving Average Trend Meter is a powerful trading indicator that visualizes current market strength. This indicator uses a series of four EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) to determine short, medium and long term market strength. Each of the three rows of boxes corresponds to an EMA, with the top being the fast, the middle being the medium and the bottom being the slow. Depending on whether each EMA is above or below the source EMA, its corresponding row will be colored accordingly, with the boxes appearing green if the source is above it or red if it is below.
This indicator also displays when the strength of the market is transitioning between bullish and bearish, indicating that there may be an upcoming reversal.
The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by providing an easier way to visualize current market strength using a series of EMAs.
█ USAGE
This indicator provides an easy to understand method of visualizing the current market strength based on the positioning of four EMAs. By default, the period for these EMAs are selected based on key Fibonacci levels, and the period of each one can be customized in the indicator settings.
Depending on whether or not the source EMA is above or below each of the other three EMAs, the boxes of the corresponding rows will be colored to indicate the current strength of the market.
If all three boxes are drawn the same color, a dot of the same color will be drawn above the boxes.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Source EMA: Determines the period of the source EMA.
• Fast EMA: Determines the period of the fast EMA.
• Med EMA: Determines the period of the medium EMA.
• Slow EMA: Determines the period of the slow EMA.
Colors
• Bullish Color: Determines the color of boxes when the source EMA is above the respective EMA.
• Bearish Color: Determines the color of boxes when the source EMA is below the respective EMA.
• Bullish Transition Color: Determines the color of boxes when the current bar closes above the respective EMA while the source is below it.
• Bearish Transition Color: Determines the color of boxes when the current bar closes below the respective EMA while the source is above it.
Heiken Ashi Ribbon [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Heiken Ashi Ribbon is a powerful trading tool that creates a strong ribbon that indicates market strength. This ribbon is created using four moving averages that use Heiken Ashi values (high, low, open and close) as its input values.
The ribbon will also be colored green, red or grey depending on whether or not its direction aligns with current market strength.
█ USAGE
The Heiken Ashi Ribbon is created using a series of four moving averages that uses values from the Heiken Ashi bars as its inputs. The user has the ability to select whether the moving averages are EMAs or SMAs, as well as the ability to control the period of the moving averages.
If the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Open is below the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Close, the ribbon will be colored green, indicating a bullish trend. If the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Open is above the moving average calculated using the Heiken Ashi Open, the ribbon will be colored red, indicating a bearish trend.
This indicator also uses a series of hidden EMAs to determine market strength. If these EMAs do not align with the direction of the Heiken Ashi Ribbon, the Ribbon will instead be colored grey, indicating uncertainty in the market, as well as a possible reversal.
█ SETTINGS
Configuration
• Moving Average Type: Determines whether or not the Heiken Ashi Moving Averages will be drawn as EMAs or SMAs.
• Moving Average Period: Determines the period of the Heiken Ashi Moving Averages.
Moving Average
• Moving Average Input: Determines the input values for the hidden EMAs.
GMMA Toolkit [QuantVue]The GMMA Toolkit is designed to leverage the principles of the Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA). This indicator is equipped with multiple features to help traders identify trends, reversals, and periods of market compression.
The Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) is a technical analysis tool developed by Australian trader and author Daryl Guppy in the late 1990s.
It utilizes two sets of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to capture both short-term and long-term market trends. The short-term EMAs represent the activity of traders, while the long-term EMAs reflect the behavior of investors.
By analyzing the interaction between these two groups of EMAs, traders can identify the strength and direction of trends, as well as potential reversals.
Due to the nature of GMMA, charts can become cluttered with numerous lines, making analysis challenging.
However, this indicator simplifies visualization by using clouds to represent the short-term and long-term EMA groups, determined by filling the area between the maximum and minimum EMAs in each group.
The GMMA Toolkit goes a step further and includes an oscillator that measures the difference between the average short-term and long-term EMAs, providing a clear visual representation of trend strength and direction.
The farther the oscillator is from the 0 level, the stronger the trend. It is plotted on a separate panel with values above zero indicating bullish conditions and values below zero indicating bearish conditions.
The inclusion of the oscillator in the GMMA Toolkit allows traders to identify earlier buy and sell signals based on the GMMA oscillator crossing the zero line compared to traditional crossover methods.
Lastly, the GMMA Toolkit features compression dots that indicate periods of market consolidation.
By measuring the spread between the maximum and minimum EMAs within both short-term and long-term groups, the indicator identifies when these spreads are significantly narrower than average by comparing the current spread to the average spread over a lookback period.
This visual cue helps traders anticipate potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, enhancing their ability to react to imminent trend changes.
By simplifying the visualization of the Guppy Multiple Moving Averages with clouds, providing earlier buy and sell signals through the oscillator, and highlighting periods of market consolidation with compression dots, this toolkit offers traders insightful tools for navigating market trends and potential reversals.

🔶 Filtered MACD : Understanding How Filters Work with ADX and MA
ADX Filter:
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend. The script calculates ADX using the user-defined length and applies a threshold value.
Trading Signals with ADX Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal (crossover of MACD line above the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the set threshold. This suggests a stronger uptrend to potentially capitalize on.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal (crossunder of MACD line below the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the threshold, indicating a stronger downtrend for potential shorting opportunities.
Benefits: The ADX filter helps avoid whipsaws or false signals that might occur during choppy market conditions with weak trends.
MA Filter:
You can choose from various Moving Average (MA) types (EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA) for the filter. The script calculates the chosen MA based on the user-defined length.
Trading Signals with MA Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal is only considered valid if the closing price is above the MA value. This suggests a potential uptrend confirmed by the price action staying above the moving average.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal is only considered valid if the closing price is below the MA value. This suggests a potential downtrend confirmed by the price action staying below the moving average.
Benefits: The MA filter helps identify potential trend continuation opportunities by ensuring the price aligns with the chosen moving average direction.
Combining Filters:
You can choose to use either the ADX filter, the MA filter, or both depending on your strategy preference. Using both filters adds an extra layer of confirmation for your signals.
🔶 Backtesting Module
The backtesting module in this script allows you to visually assess how the filtered MACD strategy would have performed on historical data. Here's a deeper dive into its features:
Backtesting Type: You can choose to backtest for buy signals only, sell signals only, or both. This allows you to analyze the strategy's effectiveness in different market conditions.
Stop-Loss Types: You can define how stop-loss orders are placed:
ATR (Average True Range): This uses a volatility measure (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor to set the stop-loss level.
Fixed Point: This allows you to specify a fixed dollar amount or percentage value as the stop-loss.
X bar High/Low: This sets the stop-loss at a certain number of bars (defined by the user) above/below the bar's high (for long positions) or low (for short positions).
Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Define the desired ratio between your potential profit and potential loss on each trade. The backtesting module will calculate take-profit levels based on this ratio and the stop-loss placement.

Moving Average Exponential-DonCHI-SUPERTRENDThe "Moving Average Exponential-DonCHI-SUPERTREND" is a trading strategy or indicator that combines three distinct technical analysis tools:
Moving Average Exponential (EMA): This is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to price changes compared to a simple moving average.
Donchian Channels (DonCHI): These are bands that are plotted above and below the recent price highs and lows. They help identify the current price volatility and potential breakout points.
SUPERTREND: This is a trend-following indicator that uses the average true range (ATR) to determine the direction of the trend. It provides signals similar to moving averages but with less lag.
Consecutive Closes Above/Below 3 SMA with Z-Score BandsA simple indicator that measures consecutive closes above & below the 3-period simple moving average. An upper and lower Z-score has been calculated to indicate where the 4 standard deviations of the last 60 bars sits.
Useful for identifying directional runs in price.
Smoothed Heiken Ashi Candles with Delayed SignalsThis is a trend-following approach that uses a modified version of Heiken Ashi candles with additional smoothing. Here are the key components and features:
1. Heiken Ashi Modification: The strategy starts by calculating Heiken Ashi candles, which are known for better trend visualization. However, it modifies the traditional Heiken Ashi by using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the open, high, low, and close prices.
2. Double Smoothing: The strategy applies two layers of smoothing. First, it uses EMAs to calculate the Heiken Ashi values. Then, it applies another EMA to the Heiken Ashi open and close prices. This double smoothing aims to reduce noise and provide clearer trend signals.
3. Long-Only Approach: As the name suggests, this strategy only takes long positions. It doesn't short the market during downtrends but instead exits existing long positions when the sell signal is triggered.
4. Entry and Exit Conditions:
- Entry (Buy): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from red to green (indicating a potential start of an uptrend).
- Exit (Sell): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from green to red (indicating a potential end of an uptrend).
5. Position Sizing: The strategy uses a percentage of equity for position sizing, defaulting to 100% of available equity per trade. This should be tailored to each persons unique approach. Responsible trading would use less than 5% for each trade. The starting capital used is a responsible and conservative $1000, reflecting the average trader.
This strategy aims to provide a smooth, trend-following approach that may be particularly useful in markets with clear, sustained trends. However, it may lag in choppy or ranging markets due to its heavy smoothing. As with any strategy, it's important to thoroughly back test and forward test before using it with real capital, and to consider using it in conjunction with other analysis tools and risk management techniques.
Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators do not provide buy and sell signals, and only show the change in color to dictate a change in trend. By adding buy and sell signals after the close of the changing candle, alerts can be programmed, which helps this be a more hands off protocol to experiment with. Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators do not allow for alarms to be set.
This is a unique HODL strategy which helps identify a change in trend, without the noise of day to day volatility. By switching to a line chart, it removes the candles altogether to avoid even more noise. The goal is to HODL a coin while the color is bullish in an uptrend, but once the indicator gives a sell signal, to sell the holdings back to a stable coin and let the chart ride down. Once the chart gives the next buy signal, use that same capital to buy back into the asset. In essence this removes potential losses, and helps buy back in cheaper, gaining more quantitity fo the asset, and therefore reducing your average initial buy in price.
Most HODL strategies ride the price up, miss selling at the top, then riding the price back down in anticipation that it will go back up to sell. This strategy will not hit the absolute tops, but it will greatly reduce potential losses.
Smoothed Heiken Ashi Strategy Long OnlyThis is a trend-following approach that uses a modified version of Heiken Ashi candles with additional smoothing. Here are the key components and features:
1. Heiken Ashi Modification: The strategy starts by calculating Heiken Ashi candles, which are known for better trend visualization. However, it modifies the traditional Heiken Ashi by using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the open, high, low, and close prices.
2. Double Smoothing: The strategy applies two layers of smoothing. First, it uses EMAs to calculate the Heiken Ashi values. Then, it applies another EMA to the Heiken Ashi open and close prices. This double smoothing aims to reduce noise and provide clearer trend signals.
3. Long-Only Approach: As the name suggests, this strategy only takes long positions. It doesn't short the market during downtrends but instead exits existing long positions when the sell signal is triggered.
4. Entry and Exit Conditions:
- Entry (Buy): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from red to green (indicating a potential start of an uptrend).
- Exit (Sell): When the smoothed Heiken Ashi candle color changes from green to red (indicating a potential end of an uptrend).
5. Position Sizing: The strategy uses a percentage of equity for position sizing, defaulting to 100% of available equity per trade. This should be tailored to each persons unique approach. Responsible trading would use less than 5% for each trade. The starting capital used is a responsible and conservative $1000, reflecting the average trader.

As with any strategy, it's important to thoroughly backtest and forward test before using it with real capital, and to consider using it in conjunction with other analysis tools and risk management techniques.
This has been created mainly to provide data to judge what time frame is most profitable for any single asset, as the volatility of each asset is different. This can bee seen using it on AUXUSD, which has a higher profitable result on the daily time frame, whereas other currencies need a higher or lower time frame. The user can toggle between each time frame and watch for the higher profit results within the strategy tester window.
Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators also do not provide buy and sell signals, and only show the change in color to dictate a change in trend. By adding buy and sell signals after the close of the candle in which the candle changes color, alerts can be programmed, which helps this be a more hands off protocol to experiment with. Other smoothed Heiken Ashi indicators do not allow for alarms to be set.

MA DifferenceThe MA Difference indicator shows 3 histograms representing differences in moving averages between a base MA (10) and 3 MA's: short (20), medium (50), and long (200). It also shows an exponentially weighted trend line which can indicate breakout opportunities, has alerts on all base <-> X crossovers, and shows potential consolidation zones where MA differences are below a user-defined tolerance.
The suggested way to use this indicator is to place a trade when the trend line is above the histogram (and filling the space between them). This indicates that the current MA values are significantly above or below the expected range and that prices are in the midst of breaking out. You may also consult the consolidation zones to eliminate false breakouts and momentary changes in trend. You may also consult the various short, medium, and long crossovers and crossunders to time entries and exits accordingly.
Histograms
The 3 histograms represent the differences between:
Base MA (10) and Short MA (20)
Base MA (10) and Medium MA (50)
Base MA (10) and Long MA (200)
All 4 moving average values can be configured in the indicator's settings. Consistency in direction and color of the histogram indicates a consistent trend across the various moving averages.
Trend Line
The trend line is an exponentially weighted average of the 3 moving averages, scaled by a factor configurable in the settings. When using the trend line, shading will be applied to the difference between the extremes of the histogram and the trend line to indicate that the chart is in a "breakout zone" and is beyond the normal, gradual sway of price action.
Crossovers/Crossunders
You may optionally turn on crossovers and crossunders in the indicator's settings to display when a short, medium, or long crossover occurs against the base moving average. Likewise, alerts are available for each crossover and crossunder for each of the 3 moving average convergences.
Consolidation Zones
Consolidation zones, as well as a line representing the current amount of consolidation, can also be optionally drawn on the chart. These indicate when a security is likely in consolidation, according to the spread of various MA values.
FVG Positioning Average with 200EMA Auto Trading [Pakun]Description
Strategy Name and Purpose
FVG Positioning Average with 200EMA Auto Trading
This strategy uses Fair Value Gaps (FVG) combined with a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Average True Range (ATR) to generate trend-based trading signals. It is designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points by leveraging the gaps between fair value prices and current market prices.
Originality and Usefulness
This script combines multiple indicators to create a cohesive trading strategy that is greater than the sum of its parts. While FVG is a powerful tool on its own, combining it with the EMA and ATR adds layers of confirmation and risk management, enhancing its effectiveness. Here’s how the components work together:

Hourly Trading System (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Hourly Trading System (Zeiierman) is designed to enhance your trading by highlighting critical price levels and trends on an hourly basis. This indicator plots the open prices of hourly and 4-hour candles, visualizes retests, displays average price lines, and overlays higher timeframe candlesticks. It is particularly beneficial for intraday traders seeking to capitalize on short-term price movements and volume patterns.
█ How It Works
This indicator works by plotting significant price levels and zones based on hourly and 4-hour candle opens. It also includes functionalities for identifying retests of these levels, calculating and displaying average prices, and showing high and low labels for each hour.
█ Timeframe
The Hourly Trading System is designed to be used on the 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe. This system is tailored for intraday trading, allowing traders to find optimal entries around hourly opening levels and providing an easy method to identify the hourly trend. It works effectively on any market.
█ How to Use
Trend Analysis
Quickly gauge where the current price stands relative to key hourly and 4-hour levels. The plotted lines and zones serve as potential support and resistance areas, helping traders identify crucial points for entry or exit.
Utilize the 1-hour average and higher timeframe candles to understand the overall market trend. Aligning intraday strategies with larger trends can enhance trading decisions.
Use the bar coloring to quickly gauge the 1-hour trend on a lower timeframe. The bar colors indicate whether the hourly trend is bullish (green) or bearish (red), helping traders make quicker decisions in alignment with the overall trend.
Retest Identification
Enable retest signals to see where the price retested the hourly open levels. These retest points often signal strong price reactions, offering opportunities for trades based on support/resistance flips.
One effective strategy to incorporate is looking for price flips when a new hour starts. This approach involves monitoring price action at the beginning of each hour. If the price breaks and retests the hourly open level with strong momentum, it could indicate a potential trend reversal or continuation. This strategy is effective in volatile markets where price movements are significant at the start of each new hour.
Liquidity Sweep Strategy
Another common and effective strategy is the liquidity sweep. This involves identifying key levels where liquidity is likely to accumulate, such as previous hour highs and lows, and observing how the price interacts with these price levels. When the price sweeps through these levels, triggering stop-loss orders or pending orders, it often results in a sharp price movement followed by a reversal. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering trades in the direction of the reversal once the liquidity sweep has occurred.
Equal Highs and Lows Strategy
The Equal Highs and Lows strategy leverages the concept of identifying levels where the price forms multiple highs or lows at the same level over different hourly periods. These equal highs and lows often indicate strong support or resistance levels where liquidity is accumulated. When the price approaches these levels, it is likely to trigger stop-loss orders and lead to significant price movements. Traders can look for breakouts or reversals around these levels to enter trades with higher probability setups.
█ Settings
Zone Width: Specifies the width of the zone around the 1-Hour Open as a percentage. Adjust this to widen or narrow the zone.
Show Retests: Enables or disables the display of retest markers. Retest markers show where the price has retested the 1-Hour Open line.
Number of Retests: Sets the number of retests to display. Adjust this to see more or fewer retest markers.
Volume Filter: Enables or disables the volume filter for retests. Use this to highlight retests with significant volume.
Volume Filter Length: Sets the length of the volume filter, smoothing the volume data to reduce noise.
1-Hour Average Line: Enables or disables the 1-hour average price line. This line shows the average price over the past hour.
Hourly High & Low Labels: Enables or disables the display of hourly high and low labels, marking the highest and lowest prices within each hour.
Candlesticks: Enables or disables the display of candlesticks on the chart, providing a detailed view of price action.
Bar Color: Enables or disables bar coloring based on price direction, with up bars in green and down bars in red.
Timeframe: Sets the timeframe for higher timeframe candles. Adjust this to match the period you want to analyze.
Number of Candles: Sets the number of higher timeframe candles to display. Increase this to see more candles on the chart.
Location: Sets the location for higher timeframe candles, allowing you to position them left or right on the chart.

Exponential Smoothing FilterThe digital exponential filter, in finance known as Exponential Moving Average (EMA) , can be used as a technical indicator for chart analysis to visualize uptrends and downtrends in the market. Unlike the classic simple moving average, the EMA requires only two values for its calculation: the last calculated exponential average price and the current price. This is a simple and fast calculation - even for wide smoothing windows. For further details and the math please refer to the "exponential smoothing" article on Wikipedia.
Here are some additional key points about the exponential moving average:
The EMA can react more quickly to price changes because it can give more weight to current prices - depending on your parameter settings.
Short-term, disruptive price fluctuations are smoothed out well, making prevailing trends more visible.
Despite good smoothing properties, it delays the input values slightly, so it can follow sudden trend changes well.
The EMA is well suited to dynamic markets and trading strategies.
The filter is a good basis for further processing such as gradient analysis.
How to use
When you add the script to your charts, you'll immediately see a thin orange line across your time series, smoothing out price fluctuations.
There are only two parameters to set
smoothing factor between 0.0000 = no smoothing and 0.9999 = strong smoothing
input source : open, high, low, close hl2, etc.
Chart output
In the example chart above, you can see that the orange line follows the highs and lows better than the blue line , which is a simple moving average (SMA).
Additionally, the orange line has a shorter lag, or reacts faster when the trend of the original price data suddenly changes. These characteristics are critical for buying and selling decisions: quickly reacting and tracking highs and lows while providing a smooth line that filters out distracting noise.
Ripster MTF CloudsDescription:
MTF EMA Cloud By Ripster
EMA Cloud System is a Trading System Invented by Ripster where areas are shaded between two desired EMAs. The concept implies the EMA cloud area serves as support or resistance for Intraday & Swing Trading. This can be utilized effectively on 10 Min for day trading and 1Hr/Daily for Swings. Ripster himself utilizes various combinations of the 5-12, 34-50, 8-9, 20-21 EMA clouds but the possibilities are endless to find what works best for you.
“Ideally, 5-12 or 5-13 EMA cloud acts as a fluid trendline for day trades. 8-9 EMA Clouds can be used as pullback Levels –(optional). Additionally, a high level price over or under 34-50 EMA clouds confirms either bullish or bearish bias on the price action for any timeframe” – Ripster
This indicator is an extension of the Ripster EMA Clouds. It allows you to visualize Exponential Moving Average (EMA) clouds from any time frame on your current chart, regardless of the chart's own time frame. This functionality is especially useful for traders who want to monitor higher time frame trends and support/resistance levels while trading on lower time frames.
What does this code do?
The Ripster MTF Clouds indicator displays two sets of EMA clouds. Each set consists of a short EMA and a long EMA. By default, the indicator uses Daily 20/21 and 50/55 EMAs, but you can customize these settings to fit your trading strategy. The EMAs are plotted on your chart along with their corresponding clouds, colored for easy differentiation:
EMA 1 (default 50/55): Plotted in blue.
EMA 2 (default 20/21): Plotted in teal.
The indicator uses the security function to fetch EMA values from higher time frames and plots them on your current chart, allowing you to see how these higher time frame EMAs interact with your current time frame's price action.
How to use this indicator:
Adjust Resolution:
Set the "Resolution" input to the time frame from which you want to fetch EMA values. For example, set it to "1H" if you want to see 1-hour EMAs on your current chart.
Customize EMAs:
Modify the "EMA 1 Short Length" and "EMA 1 Long Length" inputs to change the default 50/55 EMAs.
Adjust the "EMA 2 Short Length" and "EMA 2 Long Length" inputs to change the default 20/21 EMAs.
Monitor Clouds:
The indicator fills the area between the short and long EMAs, creating a cloud that helps visualize the trend. A blue cloud indicates the area between the EMA 1 pair, while a teal cloud indicates the area between the EMA 2 pair.
Use Multiple Instances:
You can add multiple instances of this indicator to your chart to monitor multiple higher time frames simultaneously. For instance, one instance can show daily clouds while another shows hourly clouds.
Integration with Trading Strategy:
Use this indicator to identify higher time frame trends and support/resistance levels, which can help improve your trading decisions on lower time frames.
For example, you can go long when the stock is above the 50-55 EMA clouds and 20-21 EMA clouds with daily resolution on a 10-minute chart and short when it is below it.
Similarly, you can short a stock under the 1-hour 34/50 EMA clouds while still trading on a 10-minute chart.
HRC - Hash Rate Capitulation [Da_Prof]The HRC (Hash Rate Capitulation) indicator is a measure of hash rate trend strength. It is the fractional difference between a long and a short simple moving average (SMA) of the bitcoin hash rate. Historically, the 21-day and 105-day SMA work well for this indicator. The hash rate generally increases over time, but when the short SMA crosses below the longer-term SMA, it shows that miners are removing significant hash from the system. This state can be considered a miner "capitulation". Historically, this has marked depressed BTC prices and has led to higher prices within some months. Shout out to foosmoo, the hash rate oscillator indicator prompted this presentation.
Flush Percent RangeFans of Woodies CCI may recognize the approach to this one. This is my attempt at using the same methods but for taking the highs and lows into account without the standard deviation of the CCI. The smoothness of other oscillators may not be ideal however the Williams Percent Range is a fast stochastic that also operates within a channel. This provides an alternative yet still complex view for the virtuoso. A unique feature is total utilization of the weighted moving average, from the standard to the more complex. A fun fact is the Hull Moving Average is actually calculated using weighted moving averages.
How to use:
The base length is for accuracy, the fast length is for catching all the moves(even the wrong ones sometimes.)
The bars back option will not flip the histogram/base trend to its bullish/bearish alternative until the base plot remains on the latter half of the oscillator for a certain number of bars. This can be set to zero if desired.
The factor controls the chop on the various levels. A higher number will increase it.
The oscillator levels are measuring slope, price relative to the average, and a summation of percent changes between the two. Both the baseline/histogram and the levels have color coding for bullishness, bearishness, and indecision(depending on the factor.) The fast line matches the indecision color by default. This is all customizable.
There are many potential ways to trade with this indicator. From hooks back toward the trend and range line crossovers to divergence and reversals. It's important to note the current performance of the oscillator levels. Time cycles may come in handy along with other forecasting tools.
Lastly, there are optional linear regression lines plotted on the chart. They're synchronized to the lengths in the oscillator. This is an additional visual aid to provide context to the direction of the channel.
Overall the Flush Percent Range is for analyzing multiple regression models within a single price channel. No smoothing, fast averages, and specified timeframes of highs/lows. Credit to Larry Williams for the original calculation and Ken Woods for design/methodology inspiration.
Multiple Instrument Automation ScreenerI have developed a Pine Script indicator on TradingView designed to demonstrate how to automate execution for ten instruments. This example utilizes a straightforward, Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicator. You can use it as a template, but use your indicator.
The indicator computes long/short signals based on the crossing of the SMA using the security function
It acts as a screener, presenting calculation results in an organized table format.
Utilizing the varip variable, the indicator sends alerts for multiple instruments sequentially rather than simultaneously.
For every generated signal, the indicator builds and sends a JSON execution command to a third-party tool, ensuring seamless integration and automation. You can use your own format.
Sent alerts look like this:
{"ticker": "DOGEBTC","action": "buy","price": "0.00000199","time": "1719754620658"}
Details and Limitations
Instrument Limit: The example is configured for ten instruments for simplicity. However, it can be expanded to handle up to 40 instruments.
Alert Rate Limit: There is a rate limit of 15 alerts in 3 minutes. Exceeding this limit may cause some alerts to be stopped. This can be managed by tracking the alert times and delaying some alerts, though this may affect the entry prices.
Timing of Signal Generation : The indicator processes signals at the bar close to the active instrument. Due to its computational complexity, there is a slight delay in collecting all records, potentially causing signals to reflect a few seconds before the bar closes. Care should be taken when executing based on these signals.
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting.

Keltner Channel+EMA with Buy/Sell SignalsIndicator Name: Double Keltner Channel with EMA (Buy/Sell Signals)
Description:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals and generate buy/sell signals in volatile markets. It combines two Keltner Channels with different sensitivities (multipliers of 2.6 and 3.8) to visualize dynamic support and resistance levels. The addition of a 20-period EMA helps confirm trend direction and filter out potential false signals.
How the Indicator Works:
• Keltner Channels: These bands dynamically adjust to changing market volatility, offering a visual representation of potential price ranges. The 2.6 multiplier Keltner Channel (KC) is more sensitive to price changes, potentially highlighting short-term reversals, while the 3.8 multiplier KC focuses on broader trend shifts.
• 20-period EMA: This widely used trend indicator helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify the underlying direction of the market.
• Buy Signals: Generated when a candle's low touches or crosses below either Keltner Channel's lower band, and within the next 6 candles, that same candle closes above the 20 EMA. This combination suggests a potential rejection of lower prices (support) and a possible resumption of the uptrend.
• Sell Signals: Mirror the buy signal logic but are triggered when the candle's high touches or crosses above either Keltner Channel's upper band and then closes below the 20 EMA within the next 6 candles. This indicates a potential rejection of higher prices (resistance) and a possible shift to a downtrend.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Identify the Trend: Use the 20 EMA to determine the overall trend direction. Look for buy signals primarily in uptrends and sell signals in downtrends.
2. Confirm with RSI : While not included in this indicator, consider using a separate Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a length of 10, SMA type, MA length of 14, and standard deviation of 2. Look for oversold conditions (RSI below 20) to confirm buy signals and overbought conditions (RSI above 80) to confirm sell signals.
3.Apply Risk Management: Always use appropriate risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders, to protect your capital.
Key Points:
• This indicator is most effective in trending markets.
• It is not a standalone trading system and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools and confirmation.
• The Keltner Channel multiplier values can be adjusted to suit your trading style and risk tolerance.
Important Disclaimer:
This indicator is a modification of the original Keltner Channel code and is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
