Buying/Selling Pressure Cycle (PreCy)No lag estimation of the buying/selling pressure for each candle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY PreCY?
How much bearish pressure is there behind a group of bullish candles ?
Is this bearish pressure increasing?
When might it overcome the bullish pressure?
Those were my questions when I started this indicator. It lead me through the rabbit hole, where I discovered some secrets about the market. So I pushed deeper, and developped it a lot more, in order to understand what is really happening "behind the scene".
There are now 3 ways to read this indicator. It might look complicated at first, but the reward is to be able to anticipate and understand a lot more.
You can show/hide all the plots in the settings. So you can choose the way you prefer to use it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST WAY TO READ PreCy : The SIGNAL line
Go in the settings of PreCy, in "DISPLAY", uncheck "The pivot lines of the SIGNAL" and "The CYCLE areas". Make sure "The SIGNAL line" is checked.
The SIGNAL shows an estimation of the buying/selling pressure of each candle, going from 100 (100% bullish candle) to -100 (100% bearish candle). A doji would be shown close to zero.
Formula: Estimated % of buying pressure - Estimated % of selling pressure
It is a very choppy line in general, but its colors help make sense of it.
When this choppiness alternates between the extremes, then there is not much pressure on each candle, and it's very unpredictable.
When the pressure increases, the SIGNAL's amplitude changes. It "compresses", meaning there is some interest in the market. It can compress by alternating above and below zero, or it can stay above zero (bullish), or below zero (bearish) for a while.
When the SIGNAL becomes linear (in opposition to choppy), there is a lot of pressure, and it is directional. The participants agree for a move in a chosen direction.
The trajectory of the SIGNAL can help anticipate when a move is going to happen (directional increase of pressure), or stop (returning to zero) and possibly reverse (crossing zero).
Advanced uses:
The SIGNAL can make more sense on a specific timeframe, that would be aligned with the frequency of the orders at that moment. So it is a good idea to switch between timeframes until it gets less choppy, and more directional.
It is interesting to follow any regular progression of the SIGNAL, as it can reveal the intentions of the market makers to go in a certain direction discretely. There can be almost no volume and no move in the price action, yet the SIGNAL gets linear and moves away from one extreme, slowly crosses the zeroline, and pushes to the other extreme at the same time as the amplitude of the price action increases drastically.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECOND WAY TO READ PreCy : The PIVOTS of the SIGNAL line
Go in the settings of PreCy, in "DISPLAY", and uncheck "The CYCLE areas". Make sure "The SIGNAL line" and "The pivot lines of the SIGNAL" are checked.
The PIVOTS help make sense of the apparent chaos of the SIGNAL. They can reveal the overall direction of the choppy moves.
Especially when the 2 PIVOTS lines are parallel and oriented.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIRD WAY TO READ PreCy : The CYCLE
Go in the settings of PreCy, in "DISPLAY", and uncheck "The SIGNAL line" and "The pivot lines of the SIGNAL". Make sure "The CYCLE areas" is checked.
The CYCLE is a Moving Average of the SIGNAL in relation to each candle's size.
Formula: 6 periods Moving Average of the SIGNAL * (body of the current candle / 200 periods Moving Average of the candle's bodies)
The result goes from 200 to -200.
The CYCLE shows longer term indications of the pressures of the market.
Analysing the trajectory of the CYCLE can help predict the direction of the price.
When the CYCLE goes above or below the gray low intensity zone, it signals some interest in the move.
When the CYCLE stays above 100 or below -100, it is a sign of strength in the move.
When it stayed out of the gray low intensity zone, then returns inside it, it is a strong signal of a probable change of behavior.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALERTS
In the settings, you can pick the alerts you're interested in.
To activate them, right click on the chart (or alt+a), choose "Add alert on Buying/Selling Pressure Cycle (PreCy)" then "Any alert()", then "Create".
Feel free to activate them on different timeframes. The alerts show which timeframe they are from (ex: "TF:15" for the 15 minutes TF).
I have added a lot more conditions to my PreCy, taken from FREMA Trend, for ex. You can do the same with your favorite scripts, to make PreCy more accurate for your style.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borrowed scripts:
To estimate the buying and selling pressures, PreCy uses the wicks calculations of "Volume net histogram" by RafaelZioni
To filter the alerts, PreCy uses the calculations of "Amplitude" by Koholintian:

DO NOT BASE YOUR TRADING DECISIONS ON 1 SINGLE INDICATOR'S SIGNALS.
Always confirm your ideas by other means, like price action and indicators of a different nature.
Oscillators
TTP OI + LS signal filterThis oscillator helps filtering specific conditions in the market based on open interest (OI) and the ratio of longs and shorts (LS) for crypto assets.
Currently it works with BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P but soon I'll be adding support for more assets.
It flags areas of interest like:
- Too many longs, too many shorts in the market
- Open interest too high or too low
It accepts an external signal as a source in which case filters can be applied to the original signal. For example the external signal might trigger and plot a 1 when RSI break below 70. By connecting such signal with this oscillator you'll be able to only pass-through the ones that occur when any of the areas of interest mentioned above are also valid.
If both filter are applied it acts as an OR. For example, if too many longs and too many shorts are active, it will pass through the signal in either condition.
The results of the original signal filtered is printed to be able to later use it in any external backtester strategy that accepts external sources too.
If external source signal is disabled it will trigger any time the combined filters are returning true.
Open interest and the ratio of longs/shorts is considered too high whenever the stochastic RSI calculation of the OI or ratio LS reaches a level above 80 and too low when below 20
The ratio of long/shorts is calculated by dividing the ratio of longs vs shorts from BITFINEX:BTCUSDLONGS and BITFINEX:BTCUSDSHORTS
True Trend Oscillator [wbburgin]The True Trend oscillator identifies trending or ranging markets with a stochastic ATR and RSI. Here are some examples for how it can be used.
Uptrends
If the candlesticks are lime green, this signals an uptrend. On the oscillator, you can identify an uptrend if the bull strength (the green line) is above the bear strength (the red line). The strength of the uptrend and the downtrend can be found by looking at the slope of these lines.
Downtrends
If the candlesticks are red, this signals a downtrend. On the oscillator, notice how the bear strength line is above the bull strength line.
Ranging Markets and Pullbacks
The True Trend oscillator can also be used to identify ranging markets or pullbacks. Let's look at the previous example again:
If you notice that the bull and bear lines are bouncing above the red weak-trend zone (as in the example above), this signals an extended trend. On the contrary, when the bull and bear lines fall into the weak-trend zone, this may indicate a larger pullback or a range to look to enter a trade again, as in this example, where the ranging candles in gray demonstrate temporary pullbacks in a larger bullish trend:
Ranges can also occur before trend reversals, so a range may also indicate a smart time to secure profits.
You can customize the ranging threshold in the settings. It can be set from 0-100 because the indicator is a stochastic.
Hope you all find this indicator useful!
RSI, SRSI, MACD and DMI cross - Open source codeHello,
I'm a passionate trader who has spent years studying technical analysis and exploring different trading strategies. Through my research, I've come to realize that certain indicators are essential tools for conducting accurate market analysis and identifying profitable trading opportunities. In particular, I've found that the RSI, SRSI, MACD cross, and Di cross indicators are crucial for my trading success.
Detailed explanation:
The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. It is calculated by comparing the average of gains and losses over a certain period of time. In this indicator, the RSI is calculated based on the close price with a length of 14 periods.
The Stochastic RSI is a combination of the Stochastic Oscillator and the RSI. It is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions of the market. In this indicator, the Stochastic RSI is calculated based on the RSI with a length of 14 periods.
The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. It consists of two lines, the MACD line and the signal line, which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the MACD is calculated based on the close price with fast and slow lengths of 12 and 26 periods, respectively, and a signal length of 9 periods.
The DMI is a trend-following indicator that measures the strength of directional movement in the market. It consists of three lines, the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI), the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the Average Directional Index (ADX), which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the DMI is calculated with a length of 14 periods and an ADX smoothing of 14 periods.
The indicator generates buy signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators.
1) For the RSI, a buy signal is generated when the RSI is below or equal to 35 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15, or when the RSI is below or equal to 28 the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15 or when the RSI is below or equal to 25 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 10 or when the RSI is below or equal to 28.
2) For the MACD, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than 0.
3) For the DMI, a buy signal is generated when the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) crosses above the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the -DI is less than the +DI.
The indicator generates sell signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators:
1) For the RSI, a sell signal is generated when the RSI is above or equal to 75 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 80 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 85 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 90 or when the RSI is above or equal to 82.
2)For the MACD, a sell signal is generated when the MACD line is above 0, there is a change in the histogram from positive to negative, the MACD line and histogram are positive in the previous period, and the current histogram value is less than the previous histogram value. On the other hand, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than the previous histogram value.
3)For the DMI a bearish signal is generated when plusDI crosses above minusDI, indicating that bulls are losing strength and bears are taking control.
The indicator uses a combination of these four indicators to generate potential buy and sell signals. The buy signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in oversold conditions, while sell signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in overbought conditions. The indicator also uses MACD crossovers and DMI crossovers to generate additional buy and sell signals.
When a signal is strong?
The use of multiple signals within a specific timeframe can increase the accuracy and reliability of the signals generated by this indicator. It is recommended to look for at least two signals within a range of 5-8 candles in order to increase the probability of a successful trade.
Why it's original?
1) There is no indicator in the library that combine all of these indicators and give you a 360 view
2)The combination of the RSI, Stochastic RSI, MACD, and DMI indicators in a single script it's unique and not available in the libray.
3)The specific parameters and conditions used to calculate the signals may be unique and not found in other scripts or libraries.
4)The use of plotshape() to plot the signals as shapes on the chart may be unique compared to other scripts that simply plot lines or bars to indicate signals.
5)The use of alertcondition() to trigger alerts based on the signals may be unique compared to other scripts that do not have custom alert functionality.
Keep attention!
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.

Rainbow Drift BetaRainbow Drift Beta is an indicator that detects the triggers of long and short positions at any TF.
It's based on two different type of approaches to the EMAs periods:
- Classic EMAs periods: 10 and 50
- Cycle EMAs perdios: 16, 64 and 256
The 256 period EMA (Annual Cycle) detects the trend: if the EMA 64 (Three-Weekly Cycle) is above, it shows an uptrend; while the EMA 64 is below, it means that the price action is in downtrend.
10 and 16 periods EMAs are working together as well as the 50 and the 64. The first couple reacts faster than the second one and as soon as the 10 is above the 16, the band shows the first attempt of the price action to go in the uptrend direction. The same concept is applied to the second couple (50, 64): when EMA 50 > EMA 64 it's a confirmation of the faster EMAs long direction. Viceverca happens for the downtrend but with the same concept.
As the EMA periods taken in consideration are quite often a sensitive level of reaction of the price, the indicator detects when there is trigger of a long or a short set up and plots a label on the chart. It's possibile to set up an alert as well.
Quite important, the indicator is looking for sideways patterns as the breakout of them shows a clear direction of the price.
Moreover, in order to privide the first and the best entry possibile, the indicator has a function that is triggering only one time as the trend reverted: for example, a long entry on the EMA 10-16 happens only one time since they crossover the EMA 64.
As included in the name, this is a beta version and new improvements will be added in the near future like suggested price entry, SL and TP, and the focus of the development is to avoid as much as possibile the false triggers.
Of course the best way to improve the code is to receive the users' feedbacks, so please feel free to post your comments and questions.
Trend Momentum SynthesizerBy analyzing the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and Squeeze Momentum indicators, this indicator helps identify potential bullish, bearish, or undecided market conditions.
The algorithm within considers the positions of the MACD and Squeeze Momentum indicators to determine the overall market sentiment. When the indicators align and indicate a bullish market condition, the indicator's plot color will be either dark green, green, yellow, or lime, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, if the indicators align and indicate a bearish market condition, the plot color will be maroon or red, denoting a potential bearish trend. When the indicators are inconclusive, the plot color will be orange, suggesting an undecided market.
The ADX is an addon component of this indicator, helping to assess the strength of a trend. By analyzing the ADX, the indicator determines whether a trend is strong enough, providing additional confirmation for potential trade signals. The ADX smoothing and DI (Directional Index) length parameters can be customized to suit individual trading preferences.
By combining these indicators, the algorithm provides traders with a comprehensive view of the market, helping them make informed trading decisions. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential market opportunities and aligns with the objective of maximizing trading performance.
How to use the indicator:
Note: I used back-testing for fine tuning do not base your trades on signals from the testing framework.
TASC 2023.06 Stochastic Distance Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the stochastic distance oscillator (SDO) , a momentum indicator introduced by Vitali Apirine in an article featured in TASC's June 2023 edition of Traders' Tips . The SDO is a variation of the classic stochastic oscillator and is designed to identify overbought and oversold levels, as well as detect bull and bear trend changes.
█ CONCEPTS
Unlike the classic stochastic oscillator, which compares an asset's price to its past price range, the SDO measures the size of the current distance relative to the maximum-minimum distance range over a set number of periods. The current distance is defined as the distance between the current price and the price n periods ago.
The readings of the SDO can be used to identify the following states of the asset price:
Uptrend state: the oscillator crosses over 50 from a non-uptrend state.
Downtrend state: the oscillator crosses under -50 from a non-downtrend state.
Overbought state: the oscillator is in an uptrend and crosses -50 for the first time.
Oversold state: the oscillator is in a downtrend and crosses 50 for the first time.
Trend continuity: the oscillator crosses 0 in the direction of the current trend.
The script indicates these five conditions using on-chart signals and background coloring.
█ CALCULATIONS
The SDO is calculated as follows:
1. Calculate the distance between the current price and the price n periods ago, as well as the maximum and minimum distances for the selected lookback period. The author recommends using one of two values of n , 14 or 40 bars.
2. Calculate the time series % D that represents the relation between the asset's current distance and its distance range over a loockback period:
% D = (Abs(current distance) − Abs(minimum distance)) / (Abs(maximum distance) − Abs(minimum distance)) * 100
3. Use the calculated % D to obtain the SDO:
If the closing price is above the close n periods ago, SDO = % D
If the closing price is below the close n periods ago, SDO = −% D
If the closing price equals the close n periods ago or the current distance equals the minimum distance, SDO = 0
4. Smooth the SDO using an exponential moving average (EMA). The author recommends using an EMA in the range from 3 to 6 .
Adjustable input parameters include the number of periods n , the lookback period for calculating % D , the smoothing EMA length, and the overbought/oversold threshold level.
RSI MTF DashboardThis is an RSI dashboard, which allows you to see the current RSI value for five timeframes across up to 8 tickers of your choice. This is a useful tool to gauge momentum across multiple timeframes, where you would look to enter a buy with high RSI values across the timeframes (and vice versa for sell positions).
Conversely, some traders use RSI to identify potential areas for reversals, so you would look to buy with low RSI values (and vice versa for sell positions).
In the settings, please select which 5 timeframes you require. Then select which tickers you wish to see, and you will find a dashboard on your chart to show the RSI values. The dashboard can be highlighted when the RSI value shows bearish momentum (a value under 50, of your choice) and bullish momentum (a value over 50, again of your choice). These colours and values are fully customisable.
In the settings you can also select the location of the dashboard, as well as some colour and transparency settings to enable the best possible view on screen.
Average Trend with Deviation Bands v2TL;DR: An average based trend incl. micro trend spotting and multiple display options.
This script is basically an update of my "Average Trend with Deviation Bands" script. I made the following changes:
Not an overlay anymore - The amount of drawn lines makes the chart pretty messy. That's why I moved it to a pane. If you preferred the overlay you can use my "Average Trend with Deviation Bands" script. *This is also the reason why I publish this script instead of updating the existing one.
I added an EMA to represent the price movement instead of candles
I added a signal (SMA) to spot micro trends and early entry/exit signals
I added the option to switch between a "line view" which shows the average trend and deviation bands and an "oscillator view" which shows an oscillator and histogram (MACD style)
General usage:
1. The white line is the average trend (which is an average of the last N bars open, close, high, low price).
2. Bands around the average trend are standard deviations which can be adjusted in the options menu and are only visible in "lines view". Basically they are like the clouds in the Ichimoku Cloud indicator - In big deviation bands the price movement needs more "power" to break through the average trend and vice versa.
3. Indicator line (blue line) - This is the EMA which represents the price. Crossing the average trend from below indicates an uptrend and vice versa (crossing from above indicates a down trend).
4. Signal line (red line) - This is a smoothed version of the indicator line which can be used to predict the movement of the price when crossed by the indicator line (like at MACD and many other indicators).
Oscillator usage:
When switched to "oscillator view" the indicator line oscillates around a zero line which can be seen as the average trend. The usage is basically the same as described above. However there is also the histogram which shows the difference between the indicator and signal. Of course the histogram can be deactivated. Additionally a color filling can be added to easily spot entry/exit signals.
As always: Code is free do whatever you like. If you have any questions/comments/etc. just drop it in the comment section.
Open Interest OffsetThis indicator is used to display whether there has been an abnormal increase or decrease in recent contract positions. Its usage is similar to the RSI indicator.
Please note that this indicator uses fixed (customizable) thresholds of 0.4 and 0.6 to indicate when abnormal opening and closing occur respectively. For some altcoins, their values may far exceed 0.4 so please adjust accordingly based on your symbol.
(1) When there is an abnormal increase in recent contract positions, the value of the indicator will be above 0.4. This means that there may be a liquidation market situation occurring subsequently. If the market background at this time is rising, it may not be suitable to continue buying because the indicator shows that it is currently overbought. On the contrary, it may be appropriate to sell now.
(2) When there is an abnormal decrease in recent contract positions, the value of the indicator will be below -0.4. This means that a liquidation market situation has occurred recently. If the market background at this time is falling, it may not be suitable to continue shorting because the indicator shows that it is currently oversold. On the contrary, it may be appropriate to buy now.

RSI TrueLevel StrategyThis strategy is a momentum-based strategy that uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator and a TrueLevel envelope to generate trade signals.
The strategy uses user-defined input parameters to calculate TrueLevel envelopes for 14 different lengths. The TrueLevel envelope is a volatility-based technical indicator that consists of upper and lower bands. The upper band is calculated by adding a multiple of the standard deviation to a linear regression line of the price data, while the lower band is calculated by subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation from the same regression line.
The strategy generates long signals when the RSI crosses above the oversold level or when the price crosses above the selected lower band of the TrueLevel envelope. It generates short signals when the RSI crosses below the overbought level or when the price crosses below the selected upper band of the TrueLevel envelope.
The strategy allows for long and short trades and sets the trade size as a percentage of the account equity. The colors of the bands and fills are also customizable through user-defined input parameters.
In this strategy, the 12th TrueLevel band was chosen due to its ability to capture significant price movements while still providing a reasonable level of noise reduction. The strategy utilizes a total of 14 TrueLevel bands, each with varying lengths. The 12th band, with a length of 2646, strikes a balance between sensitivity to market changes and reducing false signals, making it a suitable choice for this strategy.
RSI Parameters:
In this strategy, the RSI overbought and oversold levels are set at 65 and 40, respectively. These values were chosen to filter out more noise in the market and focus on stronger trends. Traditional RSI overbought and oversold levels are set at 70 and 30, respectively. By raising the oversold level and lowering the overbought level, the strategy aims to identify more significant trend reversals and potential trade opportunities.
Of course, the parameters can be adjusted to suit individual preferences.
KDJ-RSI Buy/Sell Signal ver. 1It is an indicator combining the RSI indicator and KDJ indicator.
Buy signal will triggers when:
RSI signal positioning below 25
J value crosses below 0
Sell signal will triggers when:
RSI signal positioning above 85
J value crosses above 100
***********
Please take note that this indicator may be not accurate for every chart in the crypto market, but it is most appropriate to use it in BTC/USDT charts, mainly for 1h, 4h, and 1d candles. Not recommended to use it for 1m or 15m leverage trades, this indicator might be altered by FOMO sentiment.
T3 OscillatorTL;DR - An Oscillator based on T3 moving average
The T3 moving average is a well known moving average created by Tim TIllson. Oscillator values are created by using the simple formula "source (close by default) - T3 moving average". Tim Tillson used a "volume factor" of 0.7 in his original T3 calculation. I changed this value to 0.618 and added the option to change it if needed/wanted. I also added alarms for zero line crossing upwards and downward, a smoothing option and custom time frames.
Compared to other oscillators like TSI, MACD etc. I observed better signals, especially in trending market situations, from the T3 oscillator (I tested Forex and Crypto).
Usage is simple: If the oscillator is above 0 it indicates a bearish trend. If below 0 it indicates a bullish trend. -> Really simple to use. However it can also be used to determine micro trends and reversals when combined with price action analysis. To keeps things simple I have not added a moving average like many other oscillators because I think it is confusing and does not help (in this particular case).
P.S. I haven't found a T3 oscillator on Trading View. Code is free - do whatever you want with it ;)

How the Trend Angle Indicator Works:
The Trend Angle Indicator begins by calculating the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the True Range (TR) for a given financial instrument. This smooths the price data and provides a more accurate representation of the instrument's price movement.
Next, the indicator calculates the slope of the price movement over the specified length. This slope is then divided by the scaled ATR to normalize the trend angle based on the instrument's volatility. The angle is calculated using the atan2() function, which computes the arctangent of the slope.
The final step in the process is to smooth the trend angle using the Epanechnikov kernel function. This function provides additional smoothing to the trend angle, making it easier to interpret and reducing the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Conclusion:
The Trend Angle Indicator is a powerful trading tool that allows traders to quickly and easily determine the strength and direction of a trend. By combining the Exponential Moving Average, ATR, and Epanechnikov kernel function, this indicator provides an accurate and easily interpretable representation of the trend angle. Whether you're an experienced trader or just starting, the Trend Angle Indicator can provide valuable insights into the market and help improve your trading decisions.
Strategy Creator5 indicators. Backtesting available. Uses ADX, RSI, Stochastic, MACD, and crossing EMAs (1,2, or 3). This strategy creator allows you to turn on or off these indicators and adjust the parameters for each indicator. It allows you to make one trade at a time e.g the next trade doesn't open until the last one closes. (You are also able to enter how many trades in one direction you want for example if you want only 2 long trades in a row, then the strategy waits for the next short position without making anymore long trades. Once there are 2 short positions in a row, it waits for a long position). The code can be edited to for automated trading by editing the comment in the source code for the strategy parameters. This took many hours to finish. ENJOY.
