GC1 Orderflow Engine - sudoTLDR This indicator measures relative buying and selling pressure by comparing GC1! futures returns against XAU price returns, normalized by their own volatility and weighted by GC1! volume. The result is a pressure histogram and line that show whether futures orderflow is leading, lagging, or diverging from spot gold in real time. What this indicator does The Orderflow Engine is designed to answer one core question: Is GC1! futures orderflow applying net pressure in the same direction as XAU, or pushing against it? It does this by isolating relative strength and weakness between futures and spot, rather than looking at price direction alone. How the pressure calculation works 1. GC1! futures returns and XAU returns are calculated bar by bar 2. Each return is normalized by its own recent volatility 3. The normalized XAU return is subtracted from the normalized GC1! return This creates a relative pressure value: Positive pressure - GC1! futures are outperforming XAU Negative pressure - GC1! futures are underperforming XAU Near zero - futures and spot are moving in balance To emphasize meaningful activity: GC1! volume is converted into a normalized score Higher-than-normal futures volume increases the weight of the pressure Low-volume pressure is naturally dampened The final output is clamped to keep the scale stable across different market conditions. Visual output Histogram Green bars - positive futures pressure Red bars - negative futures pressure Gray bars - neutral or minimal pressure Pressure line A smoother view of the same pressure data Useful for spotting momentum shifts and divergence Zero line Represents balance between futures and spot Crosses often mark changes in orderflow control Optional annotations Regime shift markers based on futures participation Optional percent-change labels for studying pressure acceleration How to use it -Confirm whether price moves are supported by futures orderflow -Spot early divergence between GC1! and XAU -Identify absorption , distribution , or initiative behavior -Filter entries by trading only when pressure aligns with your bias -This tool is best used as confirmation and context, not as a standalone signal generator. Design philosophy -Self-normalizing across sessions and volatility regimes -No fixed thresholds that break over time -Focused on relative behavior, not prediction -Built to pair naturally with the Participation Regime indicator

SMH_DualMomentum (ROC + Volume Trend)SMH Dual Momentum (ROC + Volume Confirmation) This indicator identifies high-quality bullish trends by combining price momentum (Rate of Change) with volume confirmation, and exits when momentum structurally fails. Core Logic BUY signal Rate of Change (ROC) over N periods is above a positive threshold (strong upside momentum) Current volume is above its moving average (rising market participation) SELL signal ROC crosses below zero, indicating loss of bullish momentum Why It Works ROC measures the speed and strength of price movement, filtering out weak or drifting trends Volume confirmation ensures momentum is supported by real capital flow, reducing false breakouts Momentum-based exit avoids prolonged drawdowns and capital stagnation Key Advantages Focuses on trend continuation, not prediction Filters out low-quality price moves and range-bound markets Captures long, high-conviction trends with relatively few trades Simple, robust rules using only price and volume Best Use Cases Designed for trend-driven ETFs such as SMH (Semiconductors) Suitable for swing to position trading on daily charts Works best in markets with strong sector rotation and institutional participation Notes This is a trend-following momentum tool, not a mean-reversion indicator No stop-loss is built in; risk management should be handled externally if required Parameters can be adjusted to match different timeframes or assets

Williams %RDescription This is a modified version of the classic Williams %R oscillator, adapted for markets with defined trading sessions (e.g., FTSEMIB, DAX, US stocks, etc.). It adjusts the lookback period based on the actual trading session length, making it more accurate on intraday timeframes. Key Features Session Adjustment: Automatically scales the period to trading days (default: 8.5 hours for FTSEMIB, DAX, CAC; customizable for any market). Formula (classic Williams %R): %R = 100 × (Close - Highest High) / (Highest High - Lowest Low) over a user-defined period (default 14 days). Standard Levels: -20 (overbought) -50 (middle line) -80 (oversold) Visual Enhancements: - Customizable colors for the line, levels, and background fill - Shaded overbought/oversold zone How to Use: Overbought (above -20): Potential sell signal or reversal (especially after a prolonged uptrend). Oversold (below -80): Potential buy signal or reversal (especially after a downtrend). Divergences: Look for bullish/bearish divergences between price and %R for early reversal warnings. Best Markets: Indices (FTSEMIB, DAX, SPX), stocks, futures. For 24/7 markets (crypto), set session duration to 24 hours. Timeframes: Works on intraday (15m, 1h, etc.) and daily charts. Customization Tips: - Adjust the period (shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother). - Change session duration for different markets. - Customize colors to match your chart theme. Note: Williams %R is a momentum oscillator and should be used in combination with other tools (trendlines, support/resistance, volume). Always practice proper risk management.

BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple (Open-Source)Title: BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple Cycle Oscillator | RM Overview & Philosophy The BTC - BEAM (Bitcoin Economics Adaptive Multiple) is a premier macro-valuation tool designed to identify the "Logarithmic Pulse" of Bitcoin's 4-year cycles. Unlike standard oscillators that lose relevance as the network grows, BEAM uses an adaptive baseline that tracks Bitcoin’s fundamental growth curve with precision. It identifies the harmonic distance between the current price and its multi-year mean, helping you spot the rare windows of deep capitulation and terminal euphoria. Methodology This edition is a hardened, gap-proof and Open-Source implementation of the canonical BEAM model. 1. The 1400-Day Anchor (200 Weeks): The model is anchored to a 1400-day Simple Moving Average. On the Weekly chart, this aligns with the legendary 200-week moving average—the historical "floor" of the Bitcoin network. It represents one full halving cycle of data. 2. Daily-Lock Architecture: Even when viewed on the 1W chart, the script performs its calculations using Daily data. This ensures that the oscillator captures the exact peak day of a cycle, providing a "high-resolution" signal within a "low-noise" weekly environment. 3. Logarithmic Normalization: We calculate the natural logarithm of the price-to-mean relationship, scaled by a factor of 2.5: Score = ln(Price / 1400d MA) / 2.5 This creates a standardized "Multiple" that remains comparable across all Bitcoin eras. How to Read the Chart (1W Context) 🟧 The BEAM Line (Orange): Tracks the "macro heat" of the market. On the 1W chart, look for the slope of this line to identify cycle acceleration. 🔴 The Cycle Ceiling (Score > 1.0): Historical Cycle Tops. When the weekly candle sustains in this zone, the market has reached a state of unsustainable mania. Every major blow-off top has been captured in this red corridor. 🟢 The Cycle Floor (Score < 0.1): Generational Accumulation. On the 1W chart, these zones appear as extended "green troughs." These are the only times in history where Bitcoin is fundamentally "too cheap" relative to its 4-year trend. The Status Dashboard The bottom-right monitor provides immediate cycle classification: • BEAM Score: The exact logarithmic multiple. • Cycle Regime: ACCUMULATION , NEUTRAL , or OVERHEATED . Credits BitcoinEcon: For the original concept of the BEAM adaptive model. ⚠️ RECOMMENDATION: While this indicator captures daily data, it is strongly recommended to be viewed on the Weekly (1W) Timeframe. The 1W chart filters market noise and perfectly reveals the long-term "Cycle Narrative." Disclaimer This script is for research and educational purposes only. Macro indicators provide structural context; they are not crystal balls. Always manage your risk according to your personal financial plan.

ARM-EMA TREND BARSPrice action trading is about reading what the market is doing, so you can deploy the right trading strategy to reap the maximum benefits. In simple words, price action is a trading technique in which a trader reads the market and makes subjective trading decisions based on the price movements, rather than relying on technical indicators or other factors. At its most simplistic, it attempts to describe the human thought processes invoked by experienced, non-disciplinary traders as they observe and trade their markets. Price action is simply how prices change - the action of price. It is most noticeable in markets with high liquidity and price volatility, but anything that is traded freely (in price) in a market will per se demonstrate price action.

llama fixed-length moving averages [SMA, WMA]Llama Moving Averages I needed moving averages on my charts, but I wanted them hardcoded based on the following values: timframe --- MA length Daily --- 20D (==1 trading month) Weekly --- 30W (30W moving averages for assessing long term trends) 15m --- 1W (or 5 days) Two averages: EMA and WMA: fast moving and slow moving based on closes. In addition to this, I needed the following things: 1. MAs ONLY on 15m, 1D and 1W timeframes. 2. Consistent colors. 3. for 15m chart, we want a 5D SMA, so 1D = 15m * 25(±1); times 5; 25*5 = 125 4. Option to configure different values for the daily chart, since I trade the daily chart. Defaults: 20. If you were looking for something similar, enjoy!

Market Efficiency DashboardDescription This indicator is an analytical tool designed to visualize the relationship between price action and market efficiency. Based on the Choppiness Index (CI), this indicator identifies whether the market is in a state of Range Contraction (Consolidation) or Range Expansion (Trending) . This implementation introduces a unique 50-pivot baseline to better differentiate between these two market characters, providing traders with an objective view of volatility cycles. Key Features Volatility Cycle Logic: A refined implementation of the Choppiness Index that assists in filtering market noise during low-volatility periods. Pivot-50 Visualization: A custom geometric layout that separates range contraction from trend expansion for faster visual interpretation. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Data Handling: Enables the monitoring of higher-timeframe efficiency cycles without switching charts. Trend Context Filter: Integrates a 200-period EMA to provide a directional baseline relative to the current market state. Real-Time Status Dashboard: A real-time data table providing a summary of current market efficiency and trend bias. Signal Refinement: Includes optional smoothing (EMA/SMA/WMA) to reduce calculation "jitter" and provide clearer structural signals. Inputs Overview Choppiness Length: Sets the lookback period for the efficiency calculation (Default: 14). Calculation Timeframe: Allows the user to select the source timeframe for the index data. Smoothing Method: Users can choose between multiple moving average types to filter the raw index output. Threshold Levels: Customizable Fibonacci-based levels (61.8 and 38.2) used to define the boundaries of "Choppy" and "Trending" environments. EMA Filter: Toggle for the 200-period Exponential Moving Average used for directional bias. How to Use Context Identification: Observe the histogram’s position relative to the 50-pivot. Bars expanding upward toward the 61.8 level indicate the market is coiling/congested. Trend Confirmation: Bars expanding downward toward the 38.2 level indicate the market is moving efficiently in a specific direction. Bias Alignment: When the Trend Bias is Bullish and the state is Trending, price discovery is likely occurring to the upside. Conversely, a Bearish bias in a Trending state suggests efficient movement to the downside. Risk Management: Rising choppiness levels often precede a period of trend exhaustion or reversal, signaling a potential time to reduce exposure. How it Helps This tool is designed to assist in objective decision-making by identifying the current "market character." By distinguishing between trending and non-trending environments, it helps traders select the appropriate strategy for the current context—avoiding trend-following entries during sideways markets and identifying when a market has entered a period of price expansion. Alerts Trend Starting: Triggers when the index crosses below the lower threshold, suggesting a transition into an efficient trend. Squeeze/Consolidation: Notifies the user when the index crosses above the upper threshold, indicating range contraction. Midpoint Cross: Signals when the index crosses the 50-level, marking a shift in market momentum. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This script/indicator is not endorsed by, affiliated with, sponsored by, or connected to TradingView in any manner.

Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable? Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly. █ WHAT IT DOES • Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber) • Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change • Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions • Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering • Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies █ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • NO buy/sell signals • NO entry/exit recommendations • NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only) • NO performance claims This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system. █ HOW IT WORKS The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline: STAGE 1 — Base Volatility Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement. STAGE 2 — Smoothing Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series. STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility: Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100 Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility. STAGE 4 — Stability Filter Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions. Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate) Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level. STAGE 5 — State Classification Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state: • Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold) • Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold) • Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise. █ INTERPRETATION EXPANSION (Teal) Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger. What it suggests: • Breakouts are more likely to follow through • Stops may need wider placement • Trend-following approaches tend to work better • Mean-reversion weakens DECAY (Grey) Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges. What it suggests: • Breakouts are more likely to fail • Ranges tend to hold • Trend-following underperforms • Mean-reversion strengthens TRANSITION (Amber) Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty. What it suggests: • Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead • Higher whipsaw risk • Reduced conviction in either direction • Consider waiting for clarity The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do. █ VISUAL DESIGN The indicator uses a state-first histogram design: • Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage • Histogram color shows the classified state • Zero line provides visual anchor • Optional momentum line for confirmation • Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts) The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers. █ INPUTS Core Settings • ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14) • Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10) • Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10) State Classification • Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0) • Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0) • Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3) • Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20) • Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5) Visual Settings • Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON) • Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF) • Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON) • Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF) █ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS When enabled, the following values are exported: • ATR (Raw) • ATR (Smoothed) • Volatility Momentum (%) • Stability Score (0-1) • State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1 • Is Expansion (0/1) • Is Decay (0/1) • Is Transition (0/1) These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions. █ ORIGINALITY While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it: 1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels 2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR) 3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions 4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering 5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads. This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier. █ SUITABLE MARKETS Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns █ RELATED • Market Efficiency Ratio — measures price path efficiency • Effort-Result Divergence — compares volume effort to price result █ DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis before making trading decisions.

BTC - Metcalfes Law (Deviation)Title: BTC – Metcalfe's Law (Deviation) | RM Overview & Philosophy The BTC – Metcalfe's Law (Deviation) is a fundamental valuation oscillator that answers one of the most important questions in network economics: "Is the current price justified by the number of active users?" Metcalfe's Law states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of its connected users (Value = Users squared). In the context of Bitcoin, this means that as the number of active addresses grows linearly, the network's fair value should grow exponentially.This script identifies periods where Bitcoin’s market capitalization has become "overextended" or "undervalued" relative to its actual network activity. Methodology The indicator performs a rolling log-log regression (Ordinary Least Squares) between Bitcoin's Market Cap and its Active Address count over a 730-day (2-year) window. 1. The Regression: The script calculates the statistical relationship: ln(Market Cap) = alpha + beta * ln(Active Addresses) 2. Pure Metcalfe vs. Generalized Metcalfe: • Pure Metcalfe (Beta=2): By default, the script enforces a slope of 2.0, adhering to the classic mathematical law. • Dynamic Fit: Users can disable the "Enforce Metcalfe" setting to let the model find the best historical fit (often resulting in a Beta between 1.5 and 1.8). 3. The Deviation (The Signal): The resulting line represents the Log-Deviation from Fair Value. • A value of 0.0 means Bitcoin is priced exactly according to its network utility. • Positive values indicate a "valuation premium". • Negative values indicate a "valuation discount". How to Read the Chart 🔴 The Red Zone (Overvaluation > 1.0) Meaning: The Market Cap has outpaced the growth of active users. Historically, these peaks represent speculative bubbles or cycle tops where price is driven by hype rather than utility. 🟢 The Green Zone (Undervaluation < -0.25) Meaning: The network is being utilized, but the price has crashed below its fundamental support. Historically, these "Utility Floors" have marked the most profitable accumulation zones in Bitcoin’s history. 🟠 The Orange Line (Fair Value Transition) Meaning: The market is in a healthy growth phase, moving in lockstep with user adoption. Strategy & Interpretation This tool is a Macro Compass . It is designed to help investors stay objective during periods of extreme market emotion. • In a Bull Market: Watch for the deviation to hit the Red Zone. This is your signal that the "Network Utility" can no longer support the price, and a major correction is likely imminent. • In a Bear Market: Look for the "Green Floor." When the price stays below the -0.25 level despite stable user activity, it suggests a massive mismatch between value and price—a classic buy signal. Settings • Regression Window (Default: 730 Days): Chosen to capture mid-to-long term cycle trends. Adjust to shorter timeframes for more dynamic behavior or longer timeframes (like 1460 Days) to catch longer cycles. • Enforce Metcalfe: Toggle between the classic law (Beta=2) and a dynamic fit. • Smoothing: A 30-day SMA is applied to active addresses to filter out daily "jitter." Credits • Robert Metcalfe: For the original law of network utility. • Willy Woo & Greg Wheatley: For their pioneering work in applying Metcalfe's Law specifically to Bitcoin's valuation. Important Data Requirement To function, this indicator requires a data feed for Active Addresses . By default, it is set to GLASSNODE:BTC_ACTIVEADDRESSES . Please Note: On-chain data usually requires a premium vendor subscription on TradingView (e.g., Glassnode, IntoTheBlock, or CryptoQuant). If you do not have a subscription, the indicator will display a "Missing Data" warning. ⚠️ Note: This indicator is optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe. Please switch your chart to 1D for accurate signal reading. Disclaimer This script is for research and educational purposes only. It relies on third-party on-chain data. Fundamental valuation is only one piece of the puzzle; market dynamics can remain irrational longer than metrics can predict.

ARM-EMA COLOR BUY SELLPrice action trading is about reading what the market is doing, so you can deploy the right trading strategy to reap the maximum benefits. In simple words, price action is a trading technique in which a trader reads the market and makes subjective trading decisions based on the price movements, rather than relying on technical indicators or other factors. At its most simplistic, it attempts to describe the human thought processes invoked by experienced, non-disciplinary traders as they observe and trade their markets. Price action is simply how prices change - the action of price. It is most noticeable in markets with high liquidity and price volatility, but anything that is traded freely (in price) in a market will per se demonstrate price action.

Trend Consensus Engine [TCE]The Trend Consensus Engine (TCE) is a comprehensive market analysis system designed to filter out noise and provide a quantifiable "Trend Score" (0-100). Instead of relying on a single indicator, this script aggregates data from multiple market factors—volatility, momentum, and trend structure—to generate high-probability entry signals based on a consensus logic. This tool is particularly optimized for Crypto (with specific time-gated logic) and BIST (Borsa Istanbul) markets, allowing traders to see the overall health of the trend at a glance via a dashboard. How It Works The engine calculates a composite "Total Score" (0-100) derived from four weighted components: Trend Structure (AlphaTrend & Guppy): Analyzes the slope and position relative to the AlphaTrend (Credit to @KivancOzbilgic) and Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA). Positive slopes and price action above key levels add points to the score. Volatility & Momentum (Squeeze & ADX): Incorporates the Squeeze Momentum logic (Credit to @LazyBear) to detect explosive moves. ADX Filter: Filters out chopping/ranging markets. If the ADX is too low, the score is penalized or the signal is blocked. Dynamic Resistance (MA Channels): Uses a combination of Donchian Mid-Lines and SMAs to determine if the price is in a "safe zone" or hitting resistance. Price Action Filters (Pinbar Veto): Automatically detects bearish "Shooting Star" or weak candles at highs. If a bearish pinbar is detected, the entry signal is vetoed regardless of the trend score. Features & Settings Smart Scoring Dashboard: Displays the realtime Score, Instant Decision, and confirmed Close Decision on the chart. Market Profiles: Crypto Mode: Includes a "Time Gate" feature (07:00 UTC+3 check) to prevent fakeouts during low-liquidity hours. BIST Mode: Optimized parameters for the Turkish stock market logic (14:00 session checks). Score Threshold: Users can adjust the minimum score required (Default: 70) to trigger a "BUY" signal. Visual Guidance: The background of the dashboard changes color (Green/Red/Yellow) based on the consensus. How to Use Check the Dashboard: Look at the "SONUÇ" (Result) row. GİRİŞ ✅ (ENTRY): The Score is above 70, Momentum is positive, and no Bearish Pinbars are present. BEKLE ⏳ (WAIT): The trend is weak, or a filter (like ADX or Squeeze) is blocking the trade. Confirm with Price Action: Use the AlphaTrend lines (Blue/Red) as dynamic support/stop-loss levels. Credits: AlphaTrend by KivancOzbilgic Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear VuManChu Cipher concepts for inspiration. Custom Logic: Scoring algorithm and Time-Gating mechanisms are original custom developments. Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

First Candle Range (FCR) Gold Strategy - EtubersThe 18:00 (6:00 PM) candle is widely used by traders in the Forex and Futures markets because it marks the New York market rollover and the start of the Asian session. How the Strategy Works: - The Range: The High and Low prices of the 1-hour candle (18:00–19:00) create a "Supply and Demand" zone. - The Breakout: A candle closing above the high signals a bullish breakout; a candle closing below the low signals a bearish breakout. - Institutional Memory: By extending this zone forward for 4 days, traders can identify where "old" 18:00 levels act as support or resistance in the future. - Execution: Traders often wait for a breakout followed by a "retest" of the box boundary to enter a high-probability trade.

MA Cross + Trend Stats (Probabilistic)Short description (one-liner) A MA-regime framework with historical regime stats + forward performance + optional trend/noise filters for trending context. ________________________________________ Full description (TradingView-ready) Overview This indicator turns a classic Moving Average Cross into a regime-based trend dashboard. Instead of treating a cross as a standalone “buy/sell” event, it measures what historically happened after similar regime shifts on the current symbol and timeframe, and displays the results in a compact table. It supports: • EMA or SMA • Custom fast/slow lengths (including .5 lengths via floor/ceil averaging) • Optional trend quality filters for trending decisions: o Slope filter (Slow MA slope) o Market noise filter using Efficiency Ratio (ER) in real time ________________________________________ What the table shows (how to read it) The table has two rows: Bull (Fast > Slow) and Bear (Slow > Fast). Metrics are computed on completed regimes (historical segments that already ended). N Number of completed regimes measured. More samples generally means more stable estimates. μ Δ% / Med Δ% Average and median regime return from regime start to regime end. Median helps reduce the impact of outliers. ⏱ Bars Average regime duration (in bars). Useful to calibrate realistic holding expectations for trending. ⬆ MFE% / ⬇ MAE% • MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion): max move in favor during the regime • MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion): max move against during the regime These are context metrics for typical run-up and typical heat. ER μ | Hit Trend-quality proxy: • ER μ: average Efficiency Ratio during regimes (0–1, higher = more directional / less noisy) • Hit: % of regimes with ER above the historical threshold you set Forward performance (+H μ|Hit) For two user-defined horizons (e.g., +10 / +20 bars): • μ: average forward return after the cross • Hit: probability (%) that the forward return was positive This is designed to provide probabilistic context, not certainty. ________________________________________ “Trending” decision filters (optional) These filters apply to signals/alerts/markers, not to the raw regime statistics: 1. Slope filter (Slow MA): Only allow Bull signals if the Slow MA slope is positive (and Bear signals if negative). 2. Market noise filter (ER realtime): Only allow signals when current ER exceeds your chosen threshold (helps avoid choppy conditions). ________________________________________ Suggested usage (educational) • Treat Bull/Bear as a regime label (state), not a prediction. • Use Forward Hit% as an estimate of historical frequency, not a guarantee. • If ER realtime is below threshold, consider it a noisier environment (higher whipsaw risk). • Combine with your own risk rules and confirmation (structure, volatility, volume, HTF context, etc.). ________________________________________ Notes • Results depend on symbol, timeframe, and loaded history. • Statistics are historical summaries and can change as more data becomes available. • This tool is intended for research and decision support, not as standalone trade advice. ________________________________________ Disclaimer This script is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading involves risk. You are responsible for your own decisions and risk management.
