Normalized Linear Regression (LSMA) OscillatorNormalized Linear Regression (LSMA) Oscillator
By Nathan Farmer
The Normalized LSMA Oscillator is a trend-following indicator that enhances the classic Linear Regression (LSMA) by applying a range of normalization techniques. This indicator allows traders to smooth out and normalize LSMA signals for better trend detection and dynamic market adaptation.
Key Features:
Configurable Normalization Methods:
This indicator offers several normalization techniques, such as Z-Score, Min-Max, Mean Normalization, Robust Scaler, Logistic Function, and Quantile Transformation. Each method helps in refining LSMA outputs to improve clarity in both trending and ranging market conditions.
Smoothing Options:
Smoothing can be applied after normalization, helping to reduce noise in the signals, thus making trend-following strategies that use this indicator more effective.
Recommended Settings:
Logistic Function Normalization: Recommended length of around 12, based on my preferred signal frequency.
Z-Score Normalization: Medium period (close to the default of 50), based on my preferred signal frequency.
Min-Max Normalization: Medium period, based on my preferred signal frequency.
Mean Normalization: Medium period, based on my preferred signal frequency.
Robust Scaler: Medium period, based on my preferred signal frequency.
Quantile Transformation: Medium period, based on my preferred signal frequency.
Usage:
Designed primarily for trend-following strategies, this indicator adapts well to varying market conditions. Traders can experiment with the various normalization and smoothing settings to match the indicator to their specific needs and market preferences.
Recommendation before usage:
Always backtest the indicator for yourself with respect to how you intend to use it. Modify the parameters to suit your needs, over your preferred time frame, on your preferred asset. My preferences are for the assets I happened to be looking at when I made this indicator. Odds are, you're looking at something else, over a different time frame, in a different market environment than what my settings are tailored for.
Normalization
Money Flow Index Trend Zone Strength [UAlgo]The "Money Flow Index Trend Zone Strength " indicator is designed to analyze and visualize the strength of market trends and OB/OS zones using the Money Flow Index (MFI). The MFI is a momentum indicator that incorporates both price and volume data, providing insights into the buying and selling pressure in the market. This script enhances the traditional MFI by introducing trend and zone strength analysis, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points.
🔶 Customizable Settings
Amplitude: Defines the range for the MFI Zone Strength calculation.
Wavelength: Period used for the MFI calculation and Stochastic calculations.
Smoothing Factor: Smoothing period for the Stochastic calculations.
Show Zone Strength: Enables/disables visualization of the MFI Zone Strength line.
Show Trend Strength: Enables/disables visualization of the MFI Trend Strength area.
Trend Strength Signal Length: Period used for the final smoothing of the Trend Strength indicator.
Trend Anchor: Selects the anchor point (0 or 50) for the Trend Strength Stochastic calculation.
Trend Transform MA Length: Moving Average length for the Trend Transform calculation.
🔶 Calculations
Zone Strength (Stochastic MFI):
The highest and lowest MFI values over a specified amplitude are used to normalize the MFI value:
MFI Highest: Highest MFI value over the amplitude period.
MFI Lowest: Lowest MFI value over the amplitude period.
MFI Zone Strength: (MFI Value - MFI Lowest) / (MFI Highest - MFI Lowest)
By normalizing and smoothing the MFI values, we aim to highlight the relative strength of different market zones.
Trend Strength:
The smoothed MFI zone strength values are further processed to calculate the trend strength:
EMA of MFI Zone Strength: Exponential Moving Average of the MFI Zone Strength over the wavelength period.
Stochastic of EMA: Stochastic calculation of the EMA values, smoothed with the same smoothing factor.
Purpose: The trend strength calculation provides insights into the underlying market trends. By using EMA and stochastic functions, we can filter out noise and better understand the overall market direction. This helps traders stay aligned with the prevailing trend and make more informed trading decisions.
🔶 Usage
Interpreting Zone Strength: The zone strength plot helps identify overbought and oversold conditions. A higher zone strength indicates potential overbought conditions, while a lower zone strength suggests oversold conditions, can suggest areas for entry/exit decisions.
Interpreting Trend Strength: The trend strength plot visualizes the underlying market trend, can help signal potential trend continuation or reversal based on the chosen anchor point.
Using the Trend Transform: The trend transform plot provides an additional layer of trend analysis, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points.
Combine the insights from the zone strength and trend strength plots with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions. Look for confluence between different indicators to increase the reliability of your trades.

Normalized Hull Moving Average Oscillator w/ ConfigurationsThis indicator uniquely uses normalization techniques applied to the Hull Moving Average (HMA) and allows the user to choose between a number of different types of normalization, each with their own advantages. This indicator is one in a series of experiments I've been working on in looking at different methods of transforming data. In particular, this is a more usable example of the power of data transformation, as it takes the Hull Moving Average of Alan Hull and turns it into a powerful oscillating indicator.
The indicator offers multiple types of normalization, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. My personal favorites are the Mean Normalization , which turns the data series into one centered around 0, and the Quantile Transformation , which converts the data into a data set that is normally distributed.
I've also included the option of showing the mean, median, and mode of the data over the period specified by the length of normalization. Using this will allow you to gather additional insights into how these transformations affect the distribution of the data series.
Types of Normalization:
1. Z-Score
Overview: Standardizes the data by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Benefits: Centers the data around 0 with a standard deviation of 1, reducing the impact of outliers.
Disadvantages: Works best on data that is normally distributed
Notes: Best used with a mid-longer length of transformation.
2. Min-Max
Overview: Scales the data to fit within a specified range, typically 0 to 1.
Benefits: Simple and fast to compute, preserves the relationships among data points.
Disadvantages: Sensitive to outliers, which can skew the normalization.
Notes: Best used with mid-longer length of transformation.
3. Mean Normalization
Overview: Subtracts the mean and divides by the range (max - min).
Benefits: Centers data around 0, making it easier to compare different datasets.
Disadvantages: Can be affected by outliers, which influence the range.
Notes: Best used with a mid-longer length of transformation.
4. Max Abs Scaler
Overview: Scales each feature by its maximum absolute value.
Benefits: Retains sparsity and is robust to large outliers.
Disadvantages: Only shifts data to the range , which might not always be desirable.
Notes: Best used with a mid-longer length of transformation.
5. Robust Scaler
Overview: Uses the median and the interquartile range for scaling.
Benefits: Robust to outliers, does not shift data as much as other methods.
Disadvantages: May not perform well with small datasets.
Notes: Best used with a longer length of transformation.
6. Feature Scaling to Unit Norm
Overview: Scales data such that the norm (magnitude) of each feature is 1.
Benefits: Useful for models that rely on the magnitude of feature vectors.
Disadvantages: Sensitive to outliers, which can disproportionately affect the norm. Not normally used in this context, though it provides some interesting transformations.
Notes: Best used with a shorter length of transformation.
7. Logistic Function
Overview: Applies the logistic function to squash data into the range .
Benefits: Smoothly compresses extreme values, handling skewed distributions well.
Disadvantages: May not preserve the relative distances between data points as effectively.
Notes: Best used with a shorter length of transformation. This feature is actually two layered, we first put it through the mean normalization to ensure that it's generally centered around 0.
8. Quantile Transformation
Overview: Maps data to a uniform or normal distribution using quantiles.
Benefits: Makes data follow a specified distribution, useful for non-linear scaling.
Disadvantages: Can distort relationships between features, computationally expensive.
Notes: Best used with a very long length of transformation.
Conclusion
This indicator is a powerful example into how normalization can alter and improve the usability of a data series. Each method offers unique insights and benefits, making this indicator a useful tool for any trader. Try it out, and don't hesitate to reach out if you notice any glaring flaws in the script, room for improvement, or if you just have questions.
CofG Oscillator w/ Added Normalizations/TransformationsThis indicator is a unique study in normalization/transformation techniques, which are applied to the CG (center of gravity) Oscillator, a popular oscillator made by John Ehlers.
The idea to transform the data from this oscillator originated from observing the original indicator, which exhibited numerous whips. Curious about the potential outcomes, I began experimenting with various normalization/transformation methods and discovered a plethora of interesting results.

Rolling Volatility Indicator
Description :
The Rolling Volatility indicator calculates the volatility of an asset's price movements over a specified period. It measures the degree of variation in the price series over time, providing insights into the market's potential for price fluctuations.
This indicator utilizes a rolling window approach, computing the volatility by analyzing the logarithmic returns of the asset's price. The user-defined length parameter determines the timeframe for the volatility calculation.
How to Use :
Adjust the "Length" parameter to set the rolling window period for volatility calculation.
Ajust "trading_days" for the sampling period, this is the total number of trading days (usually 252 days for stocks and 365 for crypto)
Higher values for the length parameter will result in a smoother, longer-term view of volatility, while lower values will provide a more reactive, shorter-term perspective.
Volatility levels can assist in identifying periods of increased market activity or potential price changes. Higher volatility may suggest increased risk and potential opportunities, while lower volatility might indicate periods of reduced market activity.
Key Features :
Customizable length parameter for adjusting the calculation period and trading days such that it can also be applied to stock market or any markets.
Visual representation of volatility with a plotted line on the chart.
The Rolling Volatility indicator can be a valuable tool for traders and analysts seeking insights into market volatility trends, aiding in decision-making processes and risk management strategies.
Bull Bear Power with Optional Normalization FunctionThis indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into market sentiment and potential trend reversals. This indicator enhances the traditional Bull Bear Power (BBP) by adding valuable visualizations and customization options to assist traders in making informed trading decisions.
Indicator Overview:
The NBBP indicator calculates Bull Bear Power, which measures the strength of bullish and bearish forces in the market. It does so by taking the difference between the high and the exponential moving average (EMA) of the closing price for a specified length. This raw BBP is represented on the chart as a line.
Key Features:
-- Zero Line : The NBBP indicator introduces a central reference line at zero. This line serves as a pivotal point for interpreting market sentiment. When the BBP line is above zero, it is colored green, indicating a predominance of bullish sentiment. Conversely, when the BBP line is below zero, it turns red, signaling a prevalence of bearish sentiment. This coloration helps traders quickly identify shifts in market sentiment.
-- OPTIONAL Normalization Function : One of the standout features of the NBBP indicator is its optional normalization function. When activated in the settings menu, this function scales the BBP values from -1 to +1. This means that BBP values are adjusted to fit within a standardized range, making it easier for traders to compare sentiment across different timeframes or assets. Normalization is particularly valuable for identifying extreme sentiment conditions and potential reversals.
-- Moving Average : To provide additional context and smooth out BBP fluctuations, the indicator includes an exponential moving average (EMA). The EMA of BBP is plotted on the chart as a white line. Traders can use this moving average to identify trends and potential trend reversals.
-- Fill Between Lines : The indicator visually enhances the BBP by filling the area between the BBP line and the zero line with a translucent color. This fill helps traders visualize the strength and duration of bullish or bearish sentiment.
Interpretation:
-- BBP Line : Traders can assess the raw BBP line for shifts in sentiment. When the line crosses above zero, it may suggest a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment, potentially indicating a buying opportunity. Conversely, when the line crosses below zero, it may signal a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment, suggesting a potential selling opportunity.
-- Normalization Function : The optional normalization function allows traders to gauge sentiment on a standardized scale. Values above 0 indicate bullish sentiment, while values below 0 suggest bearish sentiment. The closer the values are to their polar ends (-1 or +1), the stronger the sentiment.
-- Moving Average : The EMA of BBP helps identify trends. When BBP crosses above the EMA, it may indicate a strengthening bullish trend, while a crossover below the EMA may suggest a bearish trend.
Customization:
The NBBP indicator provides traders with flexibility through customizable settings. Users can adjust the BBP length, EMA length, and choose to activate or deactivate the normalization function based on their trading preferences and strategy.
Limitations:
The NBBP indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and market context. Traders should consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.
Normalization function results may vary depending on the chosen length and market conditions. If the desired result is not achieved through default settings, try changing timeframes or toggling on/off the normalization function. Users should exercise caution and combine it with other indicators and analysis techniques.
In conclusion, the NBBP indicator is a versatile tool that empowers traders to assess market sentiment, identify potential reversals, and follow trends. Its intuitive visualizations, normalization function, and customizable settings make it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit.
Crunchster's Real PriceThis is a simple transformation of any price series (best suited to daily timeframe) that filters out random price fluctuations and revealing the "real" price action. It allows comparison between different assets easily and is a useful confirmation of support and resistance levels, or can be used with other technical analysis.
In the default settings based on a daily chart, the daily returns are first calculated, then volatility normalised by dividing by the standard deviation of daily returns over the defined lookback period (14 periods by default).
These normalised returns are then added together over the entire price series period, to create a new "Real price" - the volatility adjusted price. This is the default presentation.
In addition, a second signal ("Normalised price series over rolling period") is available which, instead of summing the normalised returns over the entire price series, allows a user configurable, rolling lookback window over which the normalised returns are summed up. The default setting is 365 periods (ie 1 year on the daily timeframe for tickers with 24hr markets such as crypto. This can be set to 252 periods if analysing equities, which only trade 5 days per week, or any other user defined period of interest).
Universal Moving Average Convergence DivergenceI changed MACD formula to divergence of (MA26/MA12 - 1).
And its make it more useful.
Cuz:
1) comparability with all other coins with different prices.
2) fix small numbers in low price coines like shiba
3) making a good indicator like RSI to use it for optimization and ML/AI projects as a variable
Most important thing about this indicator is that its Universal
Now you can compare the UMACD of Shiba with Bitcoin without any problem in matamatics space.No need to use virtuality and its important in Optimization problems that we rediuse the problem from a picture to a number(A plot to a list of numbers)
If we don't care about exagrated pumps and dumps, we can say to it Normalized-MACD too. Cuz in normal situations its MAX ≈ 0.1 and MIN ≈ -0.1
On Balance Volume Scaled - OBV ScaledThe main idea of this oscillator is to place the OBV oscillator and its oscillation around the range of 0 and around -50 to +50 and for this scaling of the "On Balance Volume" oscillator, I have used Min-max normalization.
Since this oscillator does not have a specific minimum and maximum, just setting the maximum and minimum does not seem the best thing to do. As in this case, we will constantly observe sudden changes and we will have problems such as volatility. On the one hand, we will constantly deal with sudden changes and problems such as volatility. Also on the other hand, the continuous collisions of the high/low(+50 & -50) and index and returning from that is another thing that we are going to deal with.
Therefore, to solve these problems and create more flexible maximum and minimum ranges, another similar method has been used. Choosing the maximum of our normalization to the size of the moving average of 100 candles of the index maximum and choosing the minimum of normalization to the size of the moving average of 100 candles of the minimums of the OBV index, and then normalizing the OBV index with the Min-max method with those ranges, is the recommended method ,which has been used to eliminate problems. In this case, we will not have any problem hitting 50 and returning or hitting -50 and returning. Also, our scaled OBV index will have the ability to touch and cross 50 and -50 and can fluctuate without problems.
Chop and explode (ps5)Description : This is a renovated version of my previous mod that was based on the original script from fhenry0331.
Added are:
a data cleaning function
a seasonal random index function
an updated scaler and
a signalling procedure.
-
The following description is moved here from the old script.
The purpose of this script is to decipher chop zones from runs/movement/explosion spans. The chop is RSI movement between 40 and 60. Tight chop is RSI movement between 45 and 55. There should be an explosion after RSI breaks through 60 (long) or 40 (short). Tight chop bars are colored gray, a series of gray bars indicates a tight consolidation and should explode imminently. The longer the chop the longer the explosion will go for. The tighter the better. Loose chop (jig saw/gray bars on the silver background) will range between 40 and 60. The move begins with green and red bars.
Couple it with your trading system to help stay out of chop and enter when there is a movement.
Leavitt Convolution Slope [CC]The Leavitt Convolution Slope indicator was created by Jay Leavitt (Stocks and Commodities Oct 2019, page 11), who is most well known for creating the Volume-Weighted Average Price indicator. This indicator is very similar to the Leavitt Convolution indicator but the big difference is that it is getting the slope instead of predicting the next Convolution value. I changed quite a few things from the original source code so let me know if you like these changes. I added a normalization function using code from a good friend @loxx that I recommend to leave on but feel free to experiment with it. Last but not least, the unsure levels are essentially acting as a buy or sell threshold. I personally recommend to buy or sell for zero crossovers but another option would be to buy or sell for crossovers using the unsure levels. I have color coded the lines to turn light green for a normal buy signal or dark green for a strong buy signal and light red for a normal sell signal, and dark red for a strong sell signal.
This is another indicator in a series that I'm publishing to fulfill a special request from @ashok1961 so let me know if you ever have any special requests for me.
normalize_heatmap
Description:
This was a simple indicator to indicate the heatmap area of an asset price, in a relative given time period. In default the lookback period was set to 50 bars, indicating the current state of the price within the previous lookback period. The color scheme was using the rainbow palette, which set blue as the cooling-off area, and red as the heating area. The indicator doesn't take into account momentum strategy and thus doesn't consider the future direction of the asset price. Note: cooling-off area, can be considered to entry or adding position as a DCA strategy.
Data Normalize:
norm = (x - min) / (max - min)

Feature scalerFeature scaler | Pine Utilities series, ready to be used in "study-on-study" fashion |
Includes min-max, normalization, standardization and unit length scaling.
One and only source: en.wikipedia.org
Endpoint inputs allow to set an interval of interest for min-max scaler.
Can be (and should be) applied to other studies, or to the chart itself. In this example, I applied min-max scaling to weighted linear regression's slope values.
Unfortunately, "All data" is still "experimental" and works only on charts where less than 5000 bars are available. max_bars_back() didn't help.

%G OscillatorIntroduction
Rescaling often involve bringing a series of values in a certain range, there have been many rescaling methods proposed in technical analysis such as the stochastic oscillator, relative strength index or the William %R to name a few. Rescaling the price allow the user to see when the security is overbought or oversold, in the case of the stochastic oscillator it can also determine the price position relative to the highest and lowest price over a user defined period window.
Computing highest and lowest over a certain period window involve calculating what is called a rolling maximum/minimum, those calculations have tried to be efficient but they can still remain relatively complex. This is why i propose a similar rescaling indicator that don't use rolling maximum/minimum for its calculation, the indicator can be interpreted like the stochastic oscillator since they are similar.
The Indicator
The indicator is based on the current price position relative to past observations, for example, if the indicator is equal to 80, this mean that the current price is greater than 80% of the k past observations, where k = 1, 2, 3...length .
The indicator offer many benefits such as a custom rescaling range, unlike the stochastic oscillator this step is directly integrated in the core calculations of the indicator, this can be done by changing the code in line 7 :
a = src > src ? Max : Min
where Max should be the maximum value of the indicator and Min the minimum value, therefore the indicator would lay in a range of (Max,Min).
here the indicator is in a range of (5,2), this mean that :
a = src > src ? 5 : 2
Conclusion
I proposed an alternative to the stochastic oscillator. Both indicators return similar results, advantages of the proposed indicators are its simple calculation and its ability to return custom ranges. I hope it find its use in the community.
Thanks for reading !
[RS]Normalized Standard SelectorEXPERIMENTAL:
market state, text says it all most of the time at least.
The Normalizer [BVCC]The Normalizer adds an indicator to your chart with the option to view regular Volume, normalized Volume or normalized price.
Normalized Volume divides the current Volume bar into a moving average and multiplies by 100. The resulting plot is a histogram showing how far above or below the moving average that volume bar was.
Normalized Price does the exact same thing, but uses the close price of the current candle.
The result of a normalized bar chart is that sometimes activities of unusually low or high patterns can be seen that are not obvious when looking at the standard data points.
Customizable Settings include;
1) Check/Uncheck the first box to set the view to Volume or Price
2) Check 'Normalize' when on Volume to toggle between standard Volume and Normalized Volume
3) Price is always Normalized
4) Normalization is calculated from the SMA and the default is set to 9 - John Bollinger suggest setting this to 50
5) Normalization period can be set with the 'Period' option
This indicator was created for members of the BVCC trading community as an example of the normalization methods described in John Bollinger's "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands". Mr. Bollinger talks extensively about normalization and specifically volume normalization. I added the price normalization as a fun bonus just because. :)
