ZenAlgo - Advanced RSIZenAlgo - Advanced RSI is a technical indicator that combines the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) with advanced tools, such as moving averages, histograms, divergence detection, and trend analysis. This integration provides traders with deeper insights into market dynamics, helping them identify critical entry and exit points. The indicator is designed to synergistically merge these features, delivering a comprehensive analytical tool that simplifies market analysis while providing actionable insights.
Additionally, it includes a Multi TimeFrame table, allowing traders to monitor RSI values and trends across six different timeframes in one view. This enhancement provides a broader perspective on market dynamics and helps traders identify consistent or diverging trends across multiple timeframes, enabling more precise decision-making.
Features
RSI with Moving Averages:
Offers five types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, VWMA) to suit various trading styles and market conditions.
Moving averages are overlaid on RSI, allowing traders to detect support/resistance levels and momentum shifts directly on the RSI panel.
RSI Histogram:
Displays the difference between RSI and its moving average.
Positive histogram values indicate rising momentum, while negative values show declining momentum.
Automatically detects and highlights divergences with color-coded bars (red for bearish, green for bullish).
Bollinger Bands for RSI:
Adds upper and lower bands to RSI, visualizing volatility and overbought/oversold conditions.
Divergence Detection:
Identifies and visualizes both regular and hidden divergences, marking key reversal or trend continuation points.
Labels divergences with R (regular) or H (hidden) to provide clarity on their implications.
Bollinger Bands for RSI:
Adds upper and lower bands to RSI, visualizing volatility and overbought/oversold conditions.
Diamond Signals:
Marks crossovers of RSI and its moving average in overbought (RSI > 70) or oversold (RSI < 30) zones with diamond symbols, highlighting potential reversals.
Multi TimeFrame Table:
Displays RSI values for six different timeframes in a clear and intuitive table.
Calculates the trend on each timeframe based on the average direction of the last three candles. Trends are categorized as "rising" (increasing), "falling" (decreasing), or "neutral" (stable).
Provides easily interpretable insights across timeframes, allowing traders to focus on the current chart without switching timeframes manually.
Added Value: Why Is This Indicator Original/Why Shall You Pay for This Indicator?
ZenAlgo - Advanced RSI is a cohesive system where each component enhances the others. The originality and added value of the indicator come from:
1. Synergy Between Components:
Unlike standalone indicators, which can provide isolated or incomplete insights, ZenAlgo - Advanced RSI combines RSI, moving averages, and divergence detection into a unified system. For instance:
The RSI histogram integrates momentum and trend strength in a single visualization, eliminating the need for multiple separate tools.
Divergences are calculated using both price action and histogram trends, providing more reliable signals compared to divergence detection using only RSI.
2. Customization for Traders:
The ability to select from various moving averages (e.g., EMA for fast responses, SMA for smoother trends) allows users to tailor the indicator to different trading environments and strategies.
3. Actionable Visual Cues:
Diamond signals, histogram bars, and divergence markings make complex market patterns easier to interpret, reducing the cognitive load for traders.
4. Enhanced Divergence Analysis:
Built-in detection of regular and hidden divergences offers clarity and saves traders the effort of manually analyzing charts.
5. Bollinger Bands Integration:
Adding Bollinger Bands to RSI provides insights into volatility and momentum that go beyond what traditional Bollinger Bands or RSI can deliver individually.
6. Multi TimeFrame Table:
The Multi Time Frame table adds a new layer of analytical depth by consolidating RSI values and trends from multiple timeframes into a single tool. This helps traders identify consistent or diverging trends across timeframes, which is crucial for adjusting trading strategies to suit specific market conditions.
7. All-in-One Efficiency:
Instead of juggling multiple indicators, traders gain a streamlined tool that consolidates trend, momentum, and volatility analysis into a single, easy-to-read panel.
How It Works
1. RSI Calculation:
RSI is calculated using the standard formula to determine the relative strength of upward and downward price movements over a specified period.
2. Moving Averages:
Users choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, or VWMA. The selected moving average is computed using RSI values, not price data, to better align with the indicator's momentum focus.
3. Histogram:
The histogram shows the difference between RSI and its moving average. Positive values indicate RSI is above its moving average, signaling increasing momentum; negative values indicate the opposite.
4. Divergence Detection:
Regular divergences are identified when price forms higher highs or lower lows, while RSI trends in the opposite direction.
Hidden divergences are marked when price forms higher lows or lower highs, but RSI trends differently.
Divergence is validated using both histogram and price trends for enhanced reliability.
5. Bollinger Bands for RSI:
The upper and lower bands are based on the RSI and a configurable standard deviation, highlighting moments of high volatility and overbought/oversold conditions.
6. Trend Analysis:
The indicator computes an average RSI value over last few candles to detect trend strength and direction, helping traders identify when trends are gaining or losing momentum.
7. Diamond Signals:
Signals are triggered when RSI crosses its moving average within overbought or oversold zones. These events are plotted as diamonds for quick visualization.
Please note that this indicator does not trigger any alerts or direct buy/sell signals.
8. Multi TimeFrame Table:
RSI values are calculated for six separate time frames chosen by the user (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute, 1-hour).
The trend is determined by averaging the direction of the last three candles on each timeframe. Results are displayed as "rising," "falling," or "neutral" in the table.
The table serves as a quick-reference tool for analyzing trends and RSI values across multiple market perspectives.
Usage Examples
Tracking Trends: Use the histogram to monitor momentum: positive values indicate strengthening trends, while negative values suggest weakening trends.
Spotting Divergences: Look for regular divergences (R) to anticipate reversals and hidden divergences (H) to confirm trend continuation.
Utilizing Diamond Signals: When diamonds appear in overbought or oversold zones, they signal potential market reversals, allowing traders to act quickly.
Analyzing Volatility: Bollinger Bands on RSI highlight moments of high volatility, providing additional confirmation for potential trend changes.
Quick Assessment of RSI values: Use the Multi TimeFrame table to quickly assess RSI values and trends on different timeframes. Consistent trends (e.g., "rising" RSI on most timeframes) suggest market alignment, while diverging trends may indicate potential reversals or conflicting market signals. Use this insight to refine entries and exits.

In strong trends, divergences may become less reliable as price action overrides momentum indicators.
Search in scripts for "averages"
[blackcat] L1 Banker Move█ OVERVIEW
The Pine Script is an indicator designed to analyze market signals for institutional and short-term investors. It calculates and plots three main signals: Institutional Signal, Institutional Build, and Short-Term Investor Signal. The script uses a combination of price, volume, and moving average data to generate these signals, which can help traders identify potential buying or selling opportunities.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
The script is structured into several main sections:
1 — Input Parameters
The script does not explicitly define any input parameters, relying on default values for calculations.
2 — Custom Functions
• reference_value(values, length) : Retrieves the first non-NA value from a specified number of past values.
• calculate_institutional_and_short_term_signals(low, close, open, volume) : Calculates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on price, volume, and moving average data.
3 — Calculations
• Price and Volume Metrics: The script calculates various smoothed price changes, lowest and highest values over different periods, and volume-weighted prices.
• Moving Averages: It computes simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA) for different periods.
• RSI Calculation: The script calculates a custom RSI for different periods.
• Signal Generation: It generates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on the calculated metrics.
4 — Plotting
The script plots the three main signals on the chart using the plot function.
The flow of data and logic is as follows:
• The reference_value function is used to find reference values for calculations.
• The calculate_institutional_and_short_term_signals function performs the core calculations and returns the institutional and short-term investor signals.
• The main script calls this function and plots the results.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS

• Purpose : Retrieves the first non-NA value from a specified number of past values.
• Parameters :
• values: An array of values.
• length: The number of past values to consider.
• Return Value : The first non-NA value found or na if no valid value is found.
• Functionality : Iterates through the specified number of past values and returns the first non-NA value.
2 — calculate_institutional_and_short_term_signals(low, close, open, volume)
• Purpose : Calculates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on price, volume, and moving average data.
• Parameters :
• low: Low price series.
• close: Close price series.
• open: Open price series.
• volume: Volume series.

RSI Difference (Fast and Slow)Introduction
Oscillators like the RSI are fundamental tools for identifying trends in financial markets. Their ability to measure price momentum allows traders to detect overbought, oversold levels, and divergences, anticipating trend changes. Are there ways to improve the use of traditional RSI? How can we obtain more detailed information about current trends? This indicator answers these questions by expanding the functionalities of the traditional RSI and offering an additional tool for analysis.
How does it work?
This indicator provides a framework for trend analysis based on the following setup:
Fast RSI
Slow RSI
SMA of the fast RSI
SMA of the slow RSI
Histogram
Custom Indicator Settings
My preferred configuration is based on the 13 and 55 moving averages. The rest of the setup is as follows:
I typically use the 13 and 55 moving averages to configure both the RSI and short- and long-term moving averages.
Interpretation and Signals: Including a Long-Period RSI
Including a long-period RSI helps identify key patterns in market behavior. Crossovers between the two can be used to establish entry patterns:
If the fast RSI crosses above the slow RSI, this could indicate a long-entry pattern.
If the fast RSI crosses below the slow RSI, this could indicate a short-entry pattern.
Interpretation and Signals: Including Moving Averages
Including moving averages for both the short- and long-period RSI can help identify the base trend of the movement and, consequently:
Avoid false signals.
Trade in favor of the trend.
A simple way to start working with these is to use the crossover of the moving averages to identify the current trend:
If the short-period SMA is above the long-period SMA, the trend is bullish.
If the short-period SMA is below the long-period SMA, the trend is bearish.
Interpretation and Signals: The Histogram
The histogram represents the difference between the moving averages. If the histogram is positive, the short average is above the long average. If the histogram is below zero, the short average is below the long average. Divergences with price provide signals of potential exhaustion in the movement, indicating a possible reversal.
Indicator Details
This indicator builds upon the traditional RSI by integrating additional features that enhance its utility for traders. Here’s how each component is calculated and how they contribute to the originality of the script:
Fast RSI and Slow RSI: The fast RSI is calculated using a shorter lookback period, allowing it to capture rapid changes in momentum. The slow RSI uses a longer period to smooth out fluctuations and provide a broader view of the trend. These two RSIs work together to identify significant momentum shifts.
SMA of RSI values: The simple moving averages (SMA) of the fast and slow RSI help filter out noise and provide clear crossover signals. The SMAs are calculated using standard formulas but applied to the RSI values rather than price data, which adds a layer of insight into momentum trends.
Histogram calculation: The histogram represents the difference between the SMA of the fast RSI and the SMA of the slow RSI. This value gives a visual representation of the convergence or divergence of momentum. When the histogram crosses zero, it signifies a potential shift in the underlying trend.
This indicator combines multiple layers of analysis: fast and slow momentum, trend confirmation through SMAs, and divergence detection via the histogram. This multi-dimensional approach provides traders with a more comprehensive tool for trend analysis and decision-making.
Conclusion
This article has explored how to use this indicator to identify trends, leverage entry patterns, and analyze divergences by combining the fast RSI, slow RSI, their moving averages, and a histogram. Additionally, I’ve detailed how I usually interpret this indicator:
Identifying RSI patterns to anticipate momentum changes.
Using SMAs to confirm base trends.
Leveraging the histogram to detect divergences and potential price reversals.
TOMMAR#TOMMAR #MultiMovingAverages #MMAR
Dear fellow traders, this is Tommy, and today I'd like to introduce you to the Multi-Moving Averages Ribbon (MMAR) indicator, which I believe to be one of the best MMAR indicators available on TradingView. Moving Averages is a popular technical analysis tool used to smooth out price data by creating an average of past price data points over a specified time period. They can be used to identify trends and provide a clearer view of price action, as well as generate buy and sell signals by observing crossovers between different moving average lines.
In the MMAR indicator, we have incorporated 12 different types of Moving Averages, including Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Weighted Moving Averages (WMA), Hull Moving Averages (HMA), and Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA), among others. This allows traders to choose the optimal type for their preferred trading commodities.
One common technique in technical analysis is using multiple Moving Averages with varying lengths, which provides a more comprehensive view of price action. By analyzing multiple Moving Averages with different timeframes, traders can better understand both short- and long-term trends and make more informed trading decisions. Some of the well-known combinations of multiple moving averages used by traders are (5, 9, 14, 21, 45), (6, 11, 16, 22, 51), [8, 13, 21, 55), (50, 100, 200), and (60, 120, 240).
Another way to gauge the strength of the market trend is to look for the arrangement of the Moving Averages. If they are in a sequential order, with the shortest on top and the longest on the bottom, it is most likely a bullish trend. On the other hand, if they are arranged in reverse order, with the shortest on the bottom and the longest on top, it is most likely a bearish trend. The 'Trend Light' in the indicator settings will automatically signal when the Moving Averages are in either an orderly or reverse arrangement.
Lastly, I have added a useful feature to the indicator: the 'MA Projection'. This feature projects and forecasts the Moving Averages in the future, allowing traders to easily identify confluence zones in future candlesticks. Please note that the projection levels may change in the case of extreme price action that significantly affects the Moving Averages.
This is free so any Tradingview users can use this indicator. Just search TOMMAR in the indicator section located on top of the chart.

Trend Friend - Swing Trade & Scalp Signals - Stocks Crypto ForexTREND FRIEND is a custom built, data driven algorithm that gives buy and sell signals when many different factors line up together on a single candle. It is designed to catch every move so you can expect early entries and exits across all of your favorite markets. Use scalp mode for early entries with lots of signals or swing mode for longer swings with fewer signals and long swing mode for really long swing trades with even less signals.
The best markets to use this indicator on are high volume tickers with a lot of price action as these markets have enough data to use to give the signals the algo needs to be able to detect highly probable moves in price. That being said, it works across all markets such as stocks, crypto, forex and futures and across all timeframes(on really long timeframes it may not give signals due to not having enough data to work with).
***MAJOR POINTS TO REMEMBER BEFORE USING THIS INDICATOR***
The algo is designed to catch major moves, so if a signal seems to come in late, it is highly likely the market is about to reverse so use caution when taking signals that seem late. This typically happens because the market is indecisive so always be careful in these situations and just wait for a better signal when markets are really decisive.
Always trade in the direction of the trend meaning the volume weighted moving average clouds. There is also a trend detection label and risk level label that you should follow to keep your trades as safe as possible. The safest way to do this is only trade short when the VWMA 100 is below the VWMA 500 and a Bear signal comes in very close to a VWMA line. Only trade long when the VWMA 100 is above the VWMA 500 and a Bull signal comes in very close to a VWMA line.
If price is between the moving averages, play the VWMA 100 and VWMA 500 as support and resistance and only take signals near one of the VWMAs with the plan of price returning to the other VWMA. If you are taking trades against the trend, like trying to buy the dips or sell the tops, wait for price to cross the VWMA 100 before following a signal.
If the VWMA 100 and VWMA 500 are close to each other and/or moving sideways, you can expect choppy price action and consolidation so use caution when taking trades during this time. It is better to wait for the price to hold above or below both VWMAs and stay supportive there before taking trades. Waiting for volume to increase is also a good way to avoid chop after the trend decides a direction.
This indicator will repaint sometimes before the candle has closed, so either wait for the candle to close with a signal before entering trades or only take signals before it closes on candles with good volume and technical analysis backing it.
***ALL THE FEATURES YOU NEED***
Trend Friend has multiple features designed to help you trade better and make decisions faster.
Buy & Sell Signals - When the algo detects all of our required parameters lining up on a single candle, Trend Friend will give Bull or Bear signals on the chart. Bull means upward price action is expected. Bear means downward price action is expected.
Take Profit Signals - When the price action makes a move that typically signals a reversal, a take profit signal will show up on the chart to help you get out of a trade before the next signal comes in.
Risk Levels For Signals
There is a risk detection system that tells you how risky each signal is as it comes in to help you stay out of dangerous trades. Wait for signals with low risk and you’ll be much safer than trying to take trades against the trend.
Alerts - There are options for alerts on buy signals, sell signals, take profit signals, price crossing the VWMA 100 and price crossing the VWMA 500. All of these can be controlled using tradingview alerts so you don't have to watch the charts and wait for things to happen. These alerts can also be used to send orders to trading bots if you choose.
Candles Painted Green Or Red According To Buy & Sell Pressure - By default, this indicator paints the candle sticks green, red or blue according to buy & sell pressure(DMI). You will need to turn off candle colors in your chart settings for this to appear correctly.
Percentage Updates - The table on the right has live percentage updates so you don’t have to measure out every move you are expecting. It will tell you the percentage from closest fibonacci levels, percentage away from the VWAP, percent gain or loss from the last signal entry and percentages from your own trades that can be configured in the settings. These help you always know how much more you can squeeze out of a trade and where your position stands without having to switch screens between Tradingview and your broker constantly.
Moving Average & VWAP Clouds - We included two color coded volume weighted moving averages(VWMA 100 and VWMA 500) and a color coded RMA 10 moving average. We also have a VWAP dotted line and cloud so you can easily see the trend direction on the chart at all times. The cloud and moving averages will turn green or red in real time depending on whether price is above or below each moving average or the VWAP respectively.
Trend Detection Label - The top label on the percentage update table tells you if the trend for this timeframe is Bullish or Bearish as well as when the trend is undecisive with choppy price action expected.
Chop & Low Volume Warning Labels - When price action is choppy or there is very low volume compared to historic candles, a warning label will appear at the top of the screen so you know to use caution and stay out of trades during these times.
Auto Fibonacci Levels - The chart will automatically populate fibonacci retracement and extension levels. The percentage update table will also give you real time updates on how far away the next fibonacci levels are from the current price.
Bounce Zone - We also included a very long term moving average cloud(EMA 1000 and EMA 2000) that shows as purple on the chart. When price enters that cloud, you can expect a reversal in that area. If price was trending above the cloud, expect that cloud to act as support. If price was trending below the cloud, expect that cloud to act as resistance. When price is trying to break through that cloud in either direction you can expect price action to be choppy and big moves to happen once price gets supportive in that zone and breaks out.
Margin Multiplier - If you are using margin to trade, our margin multiplier will multiply all of the percentage updates by the margin level you input in the settings tab so your percentages will reflect the percentages in your account.
***HOW TO USE***
Scalp, Swing And Long Swing Mode
You can choose from scalp mode, swing mode or long swing mode in the indicator settings. It is set to scalp mode by default. Scalpers will want to use the scalp mode as it provides early entries and exits and is designed to catch every move quickly. Swing mode is designed to catch almost every move and filter out some of the noise so it will have less signals than scalp mode. Long swing mode is designed to catch those lengthy moves and will hold positions the longest but give entries later than the other modes.
Try all three on a few charts and timeframes to see which setting matches your trading style the best. If you want more signals with any of the 3 modes, go to a lower timeframe. If you want less signals on any mode, go to a higher timeframe.
Bull & Bear Signals - When all of our algo parameters line up, a BULL or BEAR label will print on the chart. Bull labels will be colored green and bear labels will be colored red. Bull indicates a good place to enter a long trade because the algo is detecting patterns that indicate price should move upwards. Bear indicates a good place to enter a short trade because the algo is detecting patterns that indicate price should move downwards.
For best results using these signals, take trade signals that line up very closely with fibonacci levels or volume weighted moving averages or the vwap or any combination of them. It is also recommended to only take trades in the direction of the trend to avoid trading false reversals. Wait for low risk signals using our risk identifier and then enter the market. Waiting for good volume to come in will also help you avoid chop and catch those quick moves.
Also, make sure to check the percentage updates table to see if the expected move to the next fibonacci level is far enough away to make the risk to reward ratio worth taking the trade. Watch for signals when the VWMAs squeeze together after a wide gap and price breaks out with a corresponding signal as these can bring large, quick moves in price. Use caution when the VWMAs are close to each other and trending sideways as this usually brings choppy price action.
(The bull and bear signals can be turned on or off in the indicator settings input tab. Useful if you want to clean up the chart or only show bear or bull signals according to the trend.)
Take profit Signals - Take profit labels will show up on the chart when a reversal candle pattern or reversal indicator pattern is detected while a trade is still open. Use these signals as times that it may be a good point to exit the trade to avoid losses or reduced profits.
(The take profit signals can be turned on or off in the indicator settings input tab.)
Risk Level Label
Taking trades against the trend is dangerous because there are more false bottoms than there are actual bottoms. Our risk detection label is there to keep you from taking dangerous trades against the trend. The label will say Low Risk when the trend is in the same direction as the last signal given. The label will say Medium Risk when the trend is neutral because price likes to chop around during these times. The label will say High Risk when the trend is in the opposite direction as the last signal given.
Make sure you wait for the risk level detector to show Low Risk before taking trades or you may be buying a false bottom.
Candles Colored According To Buy & Sell Pressure - By default this indicator will paint the candlesticks green, red or blue depending on the buy & sell pressure for those candles using the Directional Movement Index or DMI. If buy pressure is higher than sell pressure, it will paint green. If Sell pressure is higher than buy pressure, it will paint red. If buy pressure is equal to sell pressure, it will paint blue. Use this to confirm which direction buying and selling is favoring and use a change in color trend to determine reversal points early. For this to work correctly you will need to go into chart settings(gear icon top right) and in the symbol tab turn off body, wicks and border.
(The buy & sell pressure candle coloring can be turned on or off in the indicator settings input tab.)
Auto Fibonacci - This indicator will automatically populate fibonacci retracement and extension levels for you. These levels are calculated using the previous high and low. You can switch the source between the previous day, week, month, quarter and year(the weekly setting is the default as it is great for day trading). The previous high and low levels will show as white(These are very important levels so watch for price to bounce off of the white lines). The percentage update table will also show the percentage gap from the current price and the next closest fibonacci level above and below, with labels telling you which fib levels they are.
(The fibonacci levels can be turned on or off in the indicator settings input tab.)
Volume Weighted Moving Averages With Clouds - The red or green moving averages should be treated as dynamic support and resistance as well as a visual way of telling current price trends. You can expect price to bounce off of these moving averages very often and quick moves usually happen when price breaks out of these moving averages.
The safest long trades you can take will be when the VWMA 100 is above the VWMA 500 and you get a BULL signal that is very close to the VWMA 100 or VWMA 500. The safest short trades you can take will be when the VWMA 100 is below the VWMA 500 and you get a BEAR signal that is very close to the VWMA 100 or VWMA 500.
When the moving averages squeeze together and price bounces between them, you can expect big moves in price when it breaks out. If price has been trending up and the moving averages squeeze together, expect the price to fall quickly once it breaks down from there. If price has been trending down and the moving averages squeeze together, expect the price to jump quickly once it breaks out from there.
These moving averages and the clouds associated with them will paint green when price is above them, indicating a bullish trend and they will change to red when price is below the moving averages, indicating a bearish trend.
You can also use the moving averages as support and resistance levels when markets are moving sideways. Since these are volume weighted moving averages, price tends to stick to them very well and paints a much clearer picture of what is going to happen than regular moving averages that don't take volume into account. Try it on a bunch of different timeframes and charts to see for yourself.
(The moving averages and clouds can be turned on or off in the indicator settings input tab.)
Bounce Zone - The bounce zone is a purple cloud that is made up of two very long term moving averages. When price is trending above this cloud and comes back down to it, you can expect the price to bounce back upwards in this zone. If the price is trending below this cloud and comes up to it, you can expect the price to bounce back downwards when it reaches this zone.
Sometimes price will break through this cloud and you will usually notice a lot of choppy price action and accumulation in this zone. When price does break out of it, you can expect fast, large moves. I also like to call this zone the safe zone because taking trades in this zone is typically a very safe place to enter trades depending on how the price is trending before it entered this zone. If you look at the cloud on any of your favorite charts, you will see that the cloud usually represents support and resistance areas quite well.
(The bounce zone can be turned on or off in the indicator settings input tab.)
Chop & Low Volume Warnings - When price is choppy, it can be a portfolio killer. When volume is low, it can give false signals or the market can reverse easily, so stay out of trades when these warning labels appear on your chart. If you were already in a trade when these warnings appear, keep a close eye on your trades and be ready to exit if things start to go the wrong way.
Long & Short Entry Calculator - Here you can enter your own entry price for short or long positions so that your actual P&L will be shown live on your chart. This eliminates the need to calculate percentages in your head or switch screens to your broker often or use the measuring tool to calculate your P&L. These will show as zero until a trade price is entered.
Margin Multiplier - If you use margin to trade, enter your margin multiplier in this input and all of the percentages in the percentage update table will reflect how far each level is based on your margin. So a 5x margin will multiply all percentages in the chart by 5 and so on. This way you don’t have to calculate everything in your head or switch between your chart and your broker constantly.
Customization - Go into the indicator settings and you can customize just about everything to suit your style. In the Input tab you can: turn the Bull or Bear labels off or on so you only get the signals that are going in the direction of the trend, turn on or off the moving average lines & clouds, turn on or off the vwap & clouds, set your fibonacci timeframe or turn them off completely and set your long or short entry price as well as your margin level for percentage updates according to your portfolio.
You can also easily customize: the moving average lines & clouds, the bounce zone lines and cloud, the vwap color and line style, the support and resistance line colors and thickness, the bull and bear label styles, the take profit label styles and more.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex as long as Tradingview has enough data to support the calculations needed by the algo.
***TIMEFRAMES***
Trend Friend can be used on all timeframes.
***IMPORTANT NOTES***
For the buy & sell pressure colored candles to show up properly you will need to go to the chart settings(gear icon in top right corner) and in the symbol tab turn off body, wicks and border.
No indicator can be right 100% of the time and remember that past results do not guarantee future performance. You still need to make smart decisions when using this indicator to be successful. It is also important to note that markets with little volume and price action may not give very good signals due to many different parameters needing to line up on one candle for a signal to be given so use it on high volume tickers with lots of price action for best results.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Volume Spikes, Directional Movement Index + Fisher, Volume Profile with DMI, and MOM + MFI + RSI with Trend Friend. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Triple ATR Adaptive MAs + VWAP Option + Clouds + Candle Trend V2Another one of my experiences ... combining things...
📘 Indicator Description – Triple ATR Adaptive Moving Averages with VWAP Influence
This indicator plots three adaptive moving averages whose behavior changes dynamically based on market volatility (ATR) and optionally VWAP deviation.
Because they adapt in real time to both volatility and VWAP pressure, their movement, slope, and reaction speed differ significantly from traditional moving averages.
🔶 1. ATR-Adaptive Moving Averages
Each of the three MAs uses a custom adaptive formula:
ATR (Average True Range) is measured over a chosen period.
Higher ATR → more volatility → the MA becomes more reactive and moves closer to price.
Lower ATR → stable market → the MA becomes smoother and slower.
This creates a volatility-aware smoothing factor, making the MA expand, contract, and respond to market conditions in ways a classic SMA, EMA, or HMA cannot.
🔷 2. Optional VWAP Influence
Each MA has an independent toggle allowing it to be influenced by VWAP.
When enabled:
The MA is gently “pulled” toward VWAP.
The strength of this attraction is determined by the VWAP Influence parameter (0–1).
This causes the moving averages to behave differently from normal MAs:
In trending markets, the ATR and price push the MA away from VWAP.
In mean-reverting or balanced conditions, VWAP pulls the MA back toward fair value.
The result is an MA that reflects both trend pressure and fair-value pressure.
🔶 3. Visual Behavior: Non-Traditional Movement
Because each MA is simultaneously influenced by volatility, trend magnitude, and VWAP deviation, their shape is often very distinct from normal moving averages.
They may:
Respond faster during high volatility
Flatten out earlier during consolidation
Curve toward VWAP when price becomes extended
Separate or compress depending on ATR strength
This is intentional and essential, since the goal is to show:
✔ Volatility expansion
✔ Trend exhaustion
✔ Overextended price relative to VWAP
✔ Dynamic trend confirmation
Rather than simply smoothing past price.
🔷 4. Three Independent Adaptive Lines
Each of the three moving averages has:
Its own ATR length
Its own sensitivity multiplier
Its own optional VWAP influence
Its own color and trail
This allows the user to combine:
a fast volatility-adaptive trend line
a mid-range adaptive baseline
a slow adaptive long-trend MA
All adapting independently to volatility and VWAP conditions.
🔶 5. Optional Candle Coloring
The indicator can color candles according to trend strength derived from the fast/slow MAs.
Stronger trends produce more vivid colors. Neutral or conflicting trends produce softer colors.
This adds a visual layer to identify:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Volatility state
Market compression
at a glance.
📌 Summary
This indicator does not behave like standard SMAs or EMAs because each line dynamically adapts to:
🔸 ATR (volatility)
🔸 VWAP (fair value)
This makes the indicator extremely responsive to market conditions while still reducing noise during stable phases.
It provides a more realistic, context-aware, and intelligent representation of price behavior compared to traditional moving averages.
MA Strength Indicator EnhancedThe "MA Strength" is an indicator that measures market trend strength or (in the case of forex pairs) the relative strength of individual currencies based on up to five different moving averages (MA). It offers multiple calculation methods, such as simple summation, normalized value, or measuring ATR/percentage distance from the price. The results are summarized in a clear table, and it provides customizable alerts for trend changes or shifts in currency strength. The high level of configurability (e.g., MA weighting, "all MA alignment" requirement) allows for fine-tuning the strategy.
💬 Interpreting the Table (Top Rows)
The top row of the table shows the final output of the indicator. This changes according to the set "Table Mode".
Trend Mode: The top row shows the final, aggregated trend status (e.g., "BULLISH", "NEUTRAL") and the corresponding "Trend Value". This is the value the indicator compares to its thresholds.
Forex Mode: (Only on 6-character pairs): The top two rows show the strength of the Base currency and the Quote currency separately.
Calculation of the top rows:
The indicator calculates the individual score of all active MAs (according to the chosen method).
Trend Value: This is the final value calculated from the scores.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, this will be the average of the scores (e.g., MA1 score is 5.0, MA2 score is 7.0 -> Trend Value is 6.0).
If averaging is OFF, this will be the sum of the scores (e.g., 5.0 + 7.0 = 12.0).
Forex Calculation: "Forex Mode" uses this "Trend Value". If the Trend Value is +6.0 (on an EURUSD pair):
The Base currency (EUR) value will be +6.0.
The Quote currency (USD) value will be -6.0.
The indicator compares these values to the thresholds to determine the "STRONG" status for EUR and "WEAK" status for USD.
📊 Calculation Methods
The indicator can calculate trend strength using 5 methods. The final "Trend Value" is derived from the results of these calculations.
Sum:
Description: Simply adds up the individual scores of all enabled moving averages (MA).
Formula: If the price is above an MA, it gets the "Score Above" value (e.g., +2.0); if below, it gets the "Score Below" value (e.g., -2.0).
Example: Result = (MA1 score) + (MA2 score) + ...
Normalized:
Description: Takes the sum obtained by the "Sum" method and converts it to a scale between -100% (maximally bearish) and +100% (maximally bullish). It takes into account the maximum possible positive and negative scores.
Formula: Result = (Total Score / Max Possible Score) * 100
Percentage Distance:
Description: This method also considers distance. The further the price is from the MA in percentage terms, the higher the score.
Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / MA * 100) * Weight (The "Weight" is the "Score Above/Below" value set in settings).
ATR Distance:
Description: Similar to percentage distance, but normalizes the distance using volatility via ATR (Average True Range).
Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / ATR) * Weight
Candle Count:
Description: Counts how many consecutive candles have been above or below the MA. It multiplies this number by the set weight.
Formula: MA Score = (Number of consecutive candles) * Weight
⚙️ Settings Options
Moving Averages (MA 1-5)
For each moving average, you can set:
Enable MA: Turn the specific MA on or off.
Type: The type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.).
Period: The period of the MA (e.g., 50, 200).
Score Above / Below: The most important setting. This defines the "weight" of the MA in the calculation. In "Sum" mode, this is a fixed score; in distance-based modes, this is a multiplier (weight). It is advisable to write a positive number for "Score Above" and a negative number for "Score Below".
Calculation Settings
Enable Averaging: If this is on, the indicator shows the average of the active MA scores, not the total score.
Exception: This function is not available in "Normalized" mode.
Require All MA Alignment: This is a strict filter. If enabled, the indicator only gives a "BULLISH" (or "STRONG") signal if the price is above all enabled moving averages. Similarly, a "BEARISH" signal only occurs if the price is below all moving averages. If the price is on the opposite side of even just one MA (e.g., above 4, below 1), the status becomes "NEUTRAL", regardless of the scores.
Strength / Trend Thresholds
Enable Extra Levels: If active, statuses are expanded: "EXT. BULLISH" / "EXT. BEARISH" (Trend mode) or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK" (Forex mode). This indicates stronger, overbought/oversold conditions.
Threshold setting: The thresholds (e.g., "Strong Above - ATR") determine when the calculated value counts as a "STRONG" or "WEAK" status.
🔢 Setting Thresholds via Calculation
If "Enable Averaging" is OFF, the "Trend Value" shown in the table will be the sum of the individual MA scores. Therefore, we must define the threshold by adding up the minimum expected performance from each moving average. This allows us to set different expectations for short, medium, and long-term averages.
Step 1: Determine MA weights
In our example, we use 3 active MAs with the following weights (Score Above values):
MA1 (Short): Weight = +2
MA2 (Medium): Weight = +3
MA3 (Long): Weight = +4
Step 2: Determine the minimum expected distance
Define a minimum distance expected from each MA to trigger a "Strong" signal.
Step 3: Calculate target scores and the final threshold
Note: If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the resulting value (sum of target scores) must be
averaged to get the final threshold.
Example 1: ATR Distance
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is...
...at least 1.0 ATR above MA1 (Short),
...at least 1.5 ATR above MA2 (Medium),
...and at least 2.0 ATR above MA3 (Long).
-Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 1.0 * 2 = 2.0
MA2 Target Score: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
MA3 Target Score: 2.0 * 4 = 8.0
-Final Threshold (Sum of Target Scores): 2.0 + 4.5 + 8.0 = 14.5
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - ATR" threshold to 14.5.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold: 4.8 (14.5 / 3 = 4.83).
Example 2: Percentage Distance
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is...
...at least 0.5% above MA1,
...at least 1.0% above MA2,
...and at least 1.5% above MA3.
-Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 0.5 * 2.0 = 1.0
MA2 Target Score: 1.0 * 3.0 = 3.0
MA3 Target Score: 1.5 * 4.0 = 6.0
-Final Threshold (Sum): 1.0 + 3.0 + 6.0 = 10.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Percentage" threshold to 10.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 3: Candle Count
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if...
...at least 3 consecutive candles are above MA1,
...at least 5 consecutive candles are above MA2,
...and at least 10 consecutive candles are above MA3.
-Calculation (Expected Candle Count * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 3 * 2.0 = 6.0
MA2 Target Score: 5 * 3.0 = 15.0
MA3 Target Score: 10 * 4.0 = 40.0
-Final Threshold (Sum): 6.0 + 15.0 + 40.0 = 61.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Candle" threshold to 61.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 4: Sum
In this mode, distance does not matter, only whether the price is above or below the MA.
-Goal: "Strong" signal if the price is above the long-term averages, but can be below the short-term (MA1).
MA1 (Short): Can be below (Weight: -2.0)
MA2 (Medium): Must be above (Weight: +3.0)
MA3 (Long): Must be above (Weight: +4.0)
-Calculation: -2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 5.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Sum" threshold to 5.0.
If it must be above all three moving averages, the threshold would be 2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 9.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 5: Normalized
The basic logic is similar to the "Sum" method.
-Goal: "Strong" signal if price is above MA2 and MA3, but potentially below MA1.
-Calculation: Target Sum: 5.0. Max Possible Score (above all): 9.0.
-Threshold: (5.0 / 9.0) * 100 = 55.5
In this calculation method, averaging cannot be set.
The Usage of the "ATR %" Row
The "ATR %" row shows the percentage movement of an average candle.
How to use this with "Percentage Distance" mode:
This number gives a baseline. It helps decide if the "Percentage Distance" threshold is realistic.
Example: You see the "ATR %" value is hovering around 1.2%. This means a "normal" candle moves about 1.2%.
If you set the Percentage threshold to 0.5%, it is too low. The indicator will constantly give a "Strong" signal because even average movement (noise) exceeds the threshold.
Correct Usage: If "normal" movement is 1.2%, then a "strong" movement (trend) needs to be significantly larger. For example, set the threshold to double the ATR %: 2.4 (2 * 1.2). Thus, you only get a "Strong" signal if the movement is twice the average volatility.
Supplementary Information
Rounding Differences:
The numbers displayed in the table and the precision of calculations in the background differ.
Table Display: The indicator rounds numbers to two decimal places in the table. So, if the value is 0.996, the table shows 1.00 (rounded up).
Internal Calculation: The background calculation uses much higher precision. When determining status (STRONG vs NEUTRAL), the program compares the precise, unrounded value to the threshold.
Result: Due to rounding, it may happen that if the threshold is 1.00 and the table shows 1.00, the status flickers between Strong and Neutral. If this is bothersome, it is advisable to set a slightly lower threshold (e.g., 0.98).
🔔 Alert Settings
The indicator can send alerts when the status changes.
Alert Method:
Trend: Alerts when the main trend status changes (e.g., from "NEUTRAL" to "BULLISH"). You can specify which direction to alert for (e.g., only "BULLISH").
Forex: Works only on 6-character forex pairs. You can set separate alerts for the Base or Quote currency.
Forex Strength Level: You can specify at which status level to alert (e.g., "WEAK" or "EXT. STRONG").
📈 Trading Tips
Trend Confirmation: Use the "BULLISH" / "BEARISH" status to confirm your existing strategy (e.g., breakouts, bounces off support).
Forex Pairing: In Forex mode, look for pairs where the Base currency is "STRONG" and the Quote currency is "WEAK" (or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK") for a long position.
Short Position: Reverse the above (Base: WEAK, Quote: STRONG).
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a Pine Version 6 script that builds upon the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to offer an advanced trend analysis tool. Its purpose is to help traders identify trend direction, potential reversals, and overall market momentum with reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages. By combining the HMA with Average True Range (ATR) thresholds, slope-dependent coloring, Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) ribbons, and optional reversal signals, the script aims to give a detailed view of price activity in various market environments.
2. Overview
This script begins with the calculation of a Hull Moving Average, a method that blends Weighted Moving Averages in a way designed to cut down on lag while still smoothing out price fluctuations. Next, several enhancements are applied. The script compares current HMA values to previous ones for slope-based coloring, which highlights uptrends and downtrends at a glance. It also plots buy and sell signals when price moves beyond or below thresholds determined by the ATR and the user’s chosen signal multiplier. An optional VWAP ribbon can be shown to confirm bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted benchmark. Additionally, the script can plot reversal signals (labeled with B) at points where price crosses back toward the HMA from above or below. Taken together, these elements allow traders to visualize both the short-term momentum and the broader context of how price interacts with volatility and overall market direction.
3. Why These Indicators Have Been Linked Together
The reason the Hull Moving Average, the Average True Range, and the VWAP have been integrated into one script is to tackle multiple facets of market analysis in a single tool. The Zero Lag Hull Moving Average provides a responsive trend line, the ATR offers a measure of volatility that helps distinguish significant price shifts from typical fluctuations, and the VWAP acts as a reference for fair value based on traded volume. By layering all three, the script helps traders avoid the need to juggle multiple separate indicators and offers a holistic perspective. The slope-based coloring focuses on trend direction, the ATR-based thresholds refine possible buy and sell zones, and the VWAP ribbons provide insight into how price stands relative to an important volume-weighted level. The inclusion of up and down signals and reversal B labels further refines entries and exits.
4. Why Use Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite
The Hull Moving Average is already known for reacting more quickly to price changes compared to other moving averages while retaining a degree of smoothness. This suite enhances the basic HMA by showing colored gradients that make it easy to spot trend direction changes, highlighting potential entry or exit points based on volatility-driven thresholds, and optionally layering a volume-based measure of bullish or bearish market sentiment. By relying on a zero lag approach and additional data points, the script caters to those wanting a more responsive method of identifying shifts in market dynamics. The added reversal signals and up or down alerts give traders extra confirmation for potential turning points.
5. How This Extension Improves on the Basic HMA
This extension not only plots the Hull Moving Average but also includes data-driven alerts and visual cues that traditional HMA lines do not provide. First, it offers multi-layered slope coloring, making up or down trends quickly apparent. Second, it uses ATR-based thresholds to pinpoint moments when price may be extending beyond normal volatility, thus generating buy or sell signals. Third, the script introduces an optional VWAP ribbon to indicate whether the market is trading above or below this pivotal volume-weighted benchmark, adding a further confirmation step for bullish or bearish conditions. Finally, it incorporates optional reversal signals labeled with B, indicating points where price might swing back toward the main HMA line.
6. Core Components
The script can be broken down into several primary functions and features.
a. Zero Lag HMA Calculation
Uses two Weighted Moving Averages (half-length and full-length) combined through a smoothing step based on the square root of the chosen length. This approach is designed to reduce lag significantly compared to other moving averages.
b. Slope Detection
Compares current and prior HMA values to determine if the trend is up or down. The slope-based coloring changes between turquoise shades for upward movement and magenta shades for downward movement, making trend direction immediately visible.
c. ATR-Based Thresholding for Up and Down Signals
The script calculates an Average True Range over a user-defined period, then multiplies it by a signal factor to form two bands around the HMA. When price crosses below the lower band, an up (buy) signal appears; when it crosses above the upper band, a down (sell) signal is shown.
d. Reversal Signals (B Labels)
Tracks when price transitions back toward the main HMA from an extreme zone. When enabled, these reversal points are labeled with a B and can help traders see potential turning points or mean-reversion setups.
e. VWAP Bands
An optional Volume Weighted Average Price ribbon that plots above or below the HMA, indicating bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted price benchmark. This can also act as a kind of support/ resistance.
7. User Inputs
a. HMA Length
Controls how quickly the moving average responds to price changes. Shorter lengths react faster but can lead to more frequent signals, whereas longer lengths produce smoother lines.
b. Source
Specifies the price input, such as close or an alternative source, for the calculation. This can help align the HMA with specific trading strategies.
c. ATR Length and Signal Multiplier
Defines how the script calculates average volatility and sets thresholds for buy or sell alerts. Adjusting these values can help filter out noise or highlight more aggressive signals.
d. Slope Index
Determines how many bars to look back for detecting slope direction, influencing how sensitive the slope coloring is to small fluctuations.
e. Show Buy and Sell Signals, Reversal Signals, and VWAP
Lets users toggle the display of these features. Turning off certain elements can reduce chart clutter if traders prefer a simpler layout.
8. Calculation Process
The script’s calculation follows a step-by-step approach. It first computes two Weighted Moving Averages of the selected price source, one over half the specified length and one over the full length. It then combines these using 2*wma1 minus wma2 to reduce lag, followed by applying another weighted average using the square root of the length. Simultaneously, it computes the ATR for a user-defined period. By multiplying ATR by the signal multiplier, it establishes upper and lower bands around the HMA, where crossovers generate buy (up) or sell (down) signals. The script can also plot reversal signals (B labels) when price crosses back from these bands in the opposite direction. For the optional VWAP feature, Pine Script’s ta.vwap function is used, and differences between the HMA and VWAP levels determine the color and opacity of the ribbon.
9. Signal Generation and Filtering
The ATR-based thresholds reduce the influence of small, inconsequential price swings. When price falls below the lower band, the script issues an up (buy) signal. If price breaks above the upper band, a down (sell) signal appears. These signals are visible through labels placed near the bars. Reversal signals, labeled with B, can be turned on to help detect when price retraces from an extended area back toward the main HMA line. Traders can disable or enable these signals to match their preferred level of chart detail or risk tolerance.
10. Visualization on the Chart
The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite aims for visual clarity. The HMA line is plotted multiple times with increasing transparency to create a gradient effect. Turquoise gradients indicate upward slopes, and magenta gradients signify downward slopes. Bar coloring can be configured to align with the slope direction, providing quick insight into current momentum. When enabled, buy or sell labels are placed under or above the bars as price crosses the ATR-defined boundaries. If the reversal option is active, B labels appear around areas where price changes direction. The optional VWAP ribbons form background bands, using distinct coloration to signal whether price is above or below the volume-weighted metric.
11. Market Adaptability
Because the script’s parameters (HMA length, ATR length, signal multiplier, and slope index) are user-configurable, it can adapt to a wide range of markets and timeframes. Intraday traders may prefer a shorter HMA length for quick signals, while swing or position traders might use a longer HMA length to filter out short-lived price changes. The source setting can also be adjusted, allowing for specialized data inputs beyond just close or open values.
12. Risk Management Considerations
The script’s signals and labels are based on past price data and volatility readings, and they do not guarantee profitable outcomes. Sharp market reversals or unforeseen fundamental events can produce false signals. Traders should combine this tool with broader risk management strategies, including stop-loss placement, position sizing, and independent market analyses. The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite can help highlight potential opportunities, but it should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trade decisions.
13. Combining with Other Tools
Many traders choose to verify signals from the Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite using popular indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), or even simple volume-based metrics to confirm whether a price movement has sufficient momentum. Conventional techniques such as support and resistance levels, chart patterns, or candlestick analysis can also supplement signals generated by the script’s up, down, or reversal B labels.
14. Parameter Customization and Examples
a. Short-Term Day Trading
Using a shorter HMA length (for instance, 9 or 14) and a slightly higher ATR multiplier might provide timely buy and sell signals, though it may also produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
b. Swing or Position Trading
Selecting a longer HMA length (such as 50 or 100) with a moderate ATR multiplier can help users track more significant and sustained market moves, potentially reducing the effect of minor fluctuations.
c. Multiple Timeframe Blends
Some traders load two versions of the indicator on the same chart, one for short-term signals (with frequent B label reversals) and another for the broader trend direction, aligning entry and exit decisions with the bigger picture.
15. Realistic Expectations
Even though the Hull Moving Average helps minimize lag and the script incorporates volatility-based filters and optional VWAP overlays, it cannot predict future market behavior with complete accuracy. Periods of low liquidity or sudden market shocks can still lead to signals that do not reflect longer-term trends. Frequent parameter review and manual confirmation are advised before executing trades based solely on the script’s outputs.
16. Theoretical Background
The Hull Moving Average formula aims to balance smoothness with reactivity, accomplished by combining Weighted Moving Averages at varying lengths. By subtracting a slower average from a faster one and then applying another smoothing step with the square root of the original length, the HMA is designed to respond more promptly to price changes than typical exponential or simple moving averages. The ATR component, introduced by J. Welles Wilder, calculates the average range of price movement over a user-defined period, allowing the script to assess volatility and adapt signals accordingly. VWAP provides a volume-weighted benchmark that many institutional traders track to gauge fair intraday value.
17. Originality and Uniqueness
Although multiple HMA-based indicators can be found, Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite sets itself apart by merging slope-based coloring, ATR thresholds, VWAP ribbons, up or down labels, and optional reversal signals all in one cohesive platform. This synergy aims to reduce chart clutter while still giving traders a comprehensive look at trend direction, volatility, and volume-based sentiment.
18. Summary
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a specialized trading script designed to highlight potential market trends and reversals with minimal delay. It leverages the Hull Moving Average for an adaptive yet smooth price line, pairs ATR-based thresholds for detecting possible breakouts or dips, and provides VWAP-based ribbons for added volume-weighted context. Traders can further refine their entries and exits by enabling up or down signals and reversal labels (B) where price may revert toward the HMA. Suitable for a wide range of timeframes and instrument types, the script encourages a disciplined approach to trade management and risk control.

Bull Bear Power With EMA FilterDescription of Indicator:
This Pine Script indicator colors price bars based on the open price in relation to custom moving averages (EMA/SMA), Bull/Bear Power (BBPower), and an optional VWAP filter. The bar colors help identify bullish and bearish conditions with added visual cues for price positioning relative to VWAP.
Key Features:
Customizable Moving Averages (EMA/SMA):
The user can select between EMA or SMA for both short-term and long-term moving averages.
Default moving averages are set to 5 (short-term) and 9 (long-term) but can be adjusted by the user.
Bullish Condition (Blue or Purple Bars):
A bar is colored blue if the following conditions are met:
The open price is above both the short-term and long-term moving averages.
The short-term moving average (MA 1) is above the long-term moving average (MA 2).
BBPower (open price minus the 13-period EMA) is positive, indicating bullish strength.
If the VWAP filter is enabled and the price opens below VWAP, the bullish bars will turn purple.
Bearish Condition (Yellow or Orange Bars):
A bar is colored yellow if the following conditions are met:
The open price is below both the short-term and long-term moving averages.
The short-term moving average (MA 1) is below the long-term moving average (MA 2).
BBPower is negative or zero, indicating bearish market conditions.
If the VWAP filter is enabled and the price opens above VWAP, the bearish bars will turn orange.
VWAP Filter (Optional):
An optional filter allows the user to add VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) to the bar coloring logic.
When the VWAP filter is enabled, it provides additional information about price positioning relative to VWAP, turning bullish bars purple and bearish bars orange depending on whether the price opens above or below VWAP.
Usage:
Bullish Trend: Look for blue or purple bars to identify potential bullish momentum.
Bearish Trend: Look for yellow or orange bars to spot bearish conditions in the market.
The indicator allows users to customize the length and type of moving averages (EMA or SMA), as well as decide whether to apply the VWAP filter.
This indicator provides traders with clear visual signals to quickly assess the strength of bullish or bearish conditions based on the price's position relative to custom moving averages, BBPower, and VWAP, helping with trend identification and potential trade setups.
MTF HalfTrendIntroduction
A half-trend indicator is a technical analysis tool that uses moving averages and price data to find potential trend reversal and entry points in the form of graphical arrows showing market turning points.
The salient features of this indicator are:
- It uses the phenomenon of moving averages.
- It is a momentum indicator.
- It can indicate a trend change.
- It is capable of detecting a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
- It can signal to sell/buy.
- It is a real-time indicator.
Multi-Timeframe Application
A standout feature is its flexibility across timeframes. Traders have the liberty to choose any timeframe on the chart, enhancing the tool's versatility and making it suitable for both short-term and long-term analyses.
Principle of the Half Trend indicator
This indicator is based on the moving averages. The moving average is the average of the fluctuation or change in the price of an asset. These averages are taken for a time interval.
So, a half-trend indicator takes the moving averages phenomenon as its principle for working. The most commonly used moving averages in a half trend indicator are:
- Relative strength index (RSI)
- EMA (estimated moving average)
Components of a Half Trend indicator
There are two main components of a half trend indicator:
- Half trend line
- Arrows
- ATR lines
Half trend line
Half trend line represents this indicator on a candlestick chart. This line shows the trend of a chart in real-time. A half-trend line is based on the moving averages.
There are two further components of a half-trend line:
- Redline
- Blue line
A red line represents a bearish trend. When the half-trend line turns red, a trend is facing a dip. It is time for the bears to take control of the market. A bearish control of the market represents the domination of sellers in the market.
On the other hand, the blue line represents the bullish nature of the market. It tells a trader that the bullish sentiment of the market is prevailing. A bullish market means the number of buyers is significantly greater than the number of sellers.
Moreover, a trader can change these colors to his choice by customization.
Arrows
There are two types of arrows in this indicator which help a trader with the entry and exit points. These arrows are,
- Blue arrow
- Red arrow
A blue arrow signals a buying trade; on the other hand, a red arrow tells a trader about the selling of the assets. These arrows work with the moving average line to formulate a trading strategy.
The color of these arrows is changed if a trader desires so.
ATR lines
The ATR blue and red lines represent the Average True Range of the Half trend line. They may be used as stop loss or take profit levels.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- It is a very easy to eyes indicator.
- This is a very useful friendly indicator.
- It provides sufficient information to beginner traders.
- It provides sufficient information for entry points in a trade.
- A half-trend indicator provides a good exit strategy for a trader.
- It provides information about market reversals.
- It helps a trader to find a bullish and bearish sentiment in the market.
Cons
- It is a real-time indicator. So, it can lag.
- The lagging of this indicator can lead to miss opportunities.
- The most advanced and professional traders may not rely on this indicator for crucial trading decisions.
- The lagging of this indicator can predict false reversals of the market.
- It can create false signals.
- It requires the confluence of the other technical tools for a better success ratio.
Settings for Half Trend indicator
The default settings for half trend indicator are:
Amplitude = 2
Channel deviation = 2
Different markets or financial instruments may require different settings for optimal execution.
Amplitude: The degree that the Half trend line takes the internal variables into consideration. The higher the number, the fewer trades. The default value is 2.
Channel deviation: The ATR value calculation from the Half trend line. The default value is 2.
Trading strategy
It is an effective indicator in terms of strategy formation for a trading setup. The new and beginner trades can take benefit from this indicator for the formulation of a good trading setup. This indicator also helps seasoned and professional traders formulate a good trading setup with other technical tools.
The trading strategy involving a half-trend indicator is divided into three parts:
- Entry and exit
- Risk management
- Take profit
Entry and exit
It is an effective indicator that provides sufficient information about the entry and exit points in a trading setup. The profit of a trader is directly proportional to the appropriate entry and exit points. So, it is a crucial step in any trading setup.
The blue and red arrows provide information about the entry and exit points in a trading setup. Furthermore, the entry and exit for the bullish and bearish setups are as follows.
Entry and exit for a bullish setup
If a blue arrow appears under the half-trend line, it means the bullish sentiment of the market is getting stronger in the future. So, it is a signal for entry in a bullish setup.
As the red arrow appears on the chart, it is a signal to exit your trade. The red arrow represents a reversal in the market, so it is a good opportunity to close your trade in a bullish setup.
Entry and exit for a bearish setup
Suppose a red arrow appears above the red moving average line. It is a good opportunity to enter a trade in a bearish setup. The red line represents that sooner the sellers are going to take control and the value of the asset is about to face a dip. So it is the best time to make your move.
As the opposite arrow appears in the chart, it is time to exit from a bearish trade setup.
Re-entering a position
Bullish setup
- The half-trend line is blue.
- At least one candle closes below the blue half-trend line.
- Enter on the candle that closes above the blue half-trend line.
Bearish setup
- The half-trend line is red.
- At least one candle closes above the red half-trend line.
- Enter on the candle that closes below the red half-trend line.
Risk management
Risk management is an integral part of a trading setup. It is an important step to protect your potential profits and losses.
When trading in a bullish market, place the stop loss at the prior swing low. It will help you to cut your losses in case the prices move to the lower end.
In the case of a bearish market, place your stop loss above the prior swing high.
A trader may trail the stop loss using the ATR lines.
The new trader often makes mistakes in the placement of the stop loss. If you don’t place the stop loss at an appropriate point. It can drain your bank account and ruin your trading experience. Is is recommended not to risk more than 2% of your trading account, per trade.
Take profit
The blue ATR line may be used as one take profit level on a bullish setup followed by the previous swing high. The signal reversal would indicate the final take profit and closing of any position.
The red ATR line may be used as one take profit level on a bearish setup followed by the previous swing low. The signal reversal would indicate the final take profit and closing of any position.
Conclusion
A half trend indicator is a decent indicator that can transform your trading experience. It is a dual indicator that is based on the moving averages as well as helps you to form a trading strategy. If you are a new trader, this indicator can help you to learn and flourish in the trading universe. If you are a seasoned trader, I recommend you use this indicator with other technical analysis tools to enhance your success ratio.

Trend_Trader_WMA (Momentum)<---> Caution! This is first test version of indicator. I am ready to get more ideas+feedback to develop it more. <--->
The "Momentum_Trader_WMA" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market. It combines multiple indicators and moving averages to provide a comprehensive view of price action and momentum.
Key Features:
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): The indicator calculates two different WMAs with user-defined lengths, providing a smoothed representation of price data.
Average True Range (ATR) Bands: ATR is used to calculate dynamic bands around the WMA Average. These bands can help traders gauge market volatility and potential breakout points. The color of the ATR bands can be seen as an early signal of trends or the continuation of current trends.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI): CCI is a momentum oscillator that measures the relative strength of price changes. The indicator calculates CCI values based on a user-defined period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of CCI: An EMA of CCI is plotted to help identify trends and momentum shifts.
Color-Coded Bands: The ATR bands change colors based on CCI conditions, providing visual cues for potential trading opportunities. When ATR bands transition from narrow (indicating low volatility) to wide (indicating increased volatility), it can be seen as an early signal of a potential trend change or the continuation of the current trend.
Buy and Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers of WMAs and CCI thresholds, making it easier for traders to identify entry and exit points.
Customizable Moving Averages: Traders can enable or disable different moving averages (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HMA) with various periods and colors to adapt the indicator to their trading preferences.
CCI Dot Alerts: Dots are displayed at the bottom of the chart based on CCI values, helping traders spot extreme CCI conditions.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The WMAs and ATR bands can help identify the current trend direction and its strength. When the WMAs are in an uptrend (green) and the ATR bands widen, it may indicate a strong bullish trend. Conversely, when the WMAs are in a downtrend (red) and the ATR bands narrow, it may suggest a weakening bearish trend.
Momentum Confirmation: The CCI and its EMA provide insights into market momentum. Look for CCI crossovers above 100 for potential bullish momentum and below -100 for potential bearish momentum.
Buy and Sell Signals: Pay attention to the buy and sell signals generated by the indicator. Buy when the WMAs cross over and CCI crosses above 100. Sell when the WMAs cross under and CCI crosses below -100.
ATR Bands as Early Signals: The color changes in the ATR bands can be seen as early signals of trends or the continuation of current trends. Wide ATR bands may indicate increased volatility and potential trend changes, while narrow ATR bands suggest reduced volatility and potential trend continuation.
Moving Averages: Customize the indicator by enabling or disabling specific moving averages according to your preferred trading strategy.
CCI Dots: Use the CCI dots to identify extreme CCI conditions, which may indicate overbought or oversold market conditions.
PS:
Recommended to use Indicator with price action conecpts(eg. support and resistance) as they play important role in any market.
Buy and sell signals are not really accurate. I would personally look for trend shift in WMA middle line and confirmation from CCI dots at bottom. For example. If middle line turns green and within recent 3-4 candles (or next 3-4 candles) dots tunrns green also, that means momentum has been rised in the direction of bulls.
pls, take s/r concepts first when working. I am thinking to add more precise buy sell signal method to make it easier to trade.
Good luck with your trades :)
Zero Lag Moving Average with Gaussian weightsIntroduction
The Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) is a powerful technical indicator that aims to eliminate the lag inherent in traditional moving averages. This post provides a comprehensive exploration of the ZLMA with Gaussian Weights (GWMA) indicator, discussing the concepts, the calculations, and its application in trading.
Concepts
Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA): A ZLMA is an advanced moving average designed to reduce the lag in price movements associated with conventional moving averages. This reduction in lag enables traders to make more informed decisions based on the most recent price data.
Gaussian Weights: Gaussian weights are derived from the Gaussian function, which is a mathematical function used to calculate probabilities in a normal distribution. The Gaussian function is smooth, symmetric, and has a bell-shaped curve. In this context, Gaussian weights are used to calculate the weighted average of a series of data points.
Why Gaussian Weights are Beneficial
Gaussian Weights offer several advantages in comparison to traditional moving averages. One of the main reasons for using Gaussian Weights is to address the issue of lag, which is commonly associated with simple and exponential moving averages. By reducing lag, traders can make more informed decisions based on up-to-date information.
Another advantage of Gaussian Weights is their mathematical foundation, which is rooted in the Gaussian function. This function describes the normal distribution in probability theory and statistics. The smooth and symmetric bell-shaped curve of Gaussian Weights enables a more refined approach to handling data points, resulting in a more responsive and accurate moving average.
While exponential moving averages (EMAs) also assign more weight to recent data points, they can still exhibit some lag. Gaussian Weights, on the other hand, offer a smoother and more adaptive solution to different market conditions. By adjusting the smoothing period, traders can tailor the Gaussian Weights to their specific needs, making them a versatile tool for various trading strategies.
In summary, Gaussian Weights provide a valuable alternative to traditional moving averages due to their ability to reduce lag, their strong mathematical foundation, and their adaptability to different market conditions. These benefits make Gaussian Weights a worthwhile consideration for traders looking to enhance their trading strategies.
Calculations
The ZLMA with GWMA consists of two main calculations:
Gaussian Weight Calculation: The Gaussian weight for a given 'k' and 'smooth_per' is calculated using the standard deviation (sigma) and the exponent part of the Gaussian function.
Zero-Lag GWMA Calculation: The zero-lag GWMA is calculated using a source buffer, a Gaussian weighted moving average (gwma1), and an output array. The source buffer stores the input data, the gwma1 array stores the first Gaussian weighted moving average, and the output array stores the final zero-lag moving average.
Application in Trading
The ZLMA with GWMA indicator can be used to identify trends and potential entry/exit points in trading:
Trend Identification: When the ZLMA is above the price, it indicates a bearish trend, and when it is below the price, it indicates a bullish trend.
Entry/Exit Points: Traders can use crossovers between the ZLMA and price to identify potential entry and exit points. A long position could be taken when the price crosses above the ZLMA, and a short position could be taken when the price crosses below the ZLMA.
Conclusion
The Zero Lag Moving Average with Gaussian Weights is a powerful and versatile indicator that can be used in various trading strategies. By minimizing the lag associated with traditional moving averages, the ZLMA with GWMA provides traders with more accurate and timely information about price trends and potential trade opportunities.
Price Distance to Moving Average RatioThis study plots the ratio between price and moving averages. With both a slow and a fast moving average that is configurable with the moving average type, the price type of the moving average, and the time frame, users can find optimal long/short entries when price is in an established trend and price has diverge far from a given moving average.
Below is the an excerpt of a paper which studied price and its relation to moving averages.
The analysis expressed in the paper indicates a connection between the distance of price to moving averages and subsequent returns : portfolios of stocks with lower price to moving average ratios generally outperformed portfolios of stocks with higher prices to moving averages. This “overextended” effect is more pronounced when using shorter moving averages of 20 and 50 days, and is especially strong in short-term holding periods like one and two weeks. The highest annual returns are recorded when buying in the range of 0-5% below shorter moving averages of 20/50 days, and 0-10% below longer moving averages of 100/200 days. However, buying very far below almost all moving averages on almost all holding periods produces the lowest returns.
The concept of this study recognizes three different modes of action.
In a clearly established upward trend traders should be buying when prices are near or below the MA line and selling when prices move too far above the MA.
Conversely, in downward trend stocks should be shorted when reaching or going above the moving average and covered when they drop too far below the MA line.
In a sideways movement traders are advised to buy if the price is too low below the moving average and sell when it goes too far above it
Short-term traders can expect to outperform in a one or two week time window if buying stocks with lower prices compared to their 20 and 50 SMA / EMA , one to two-week holding periods is quite high, ranging from 72,09% to 90,61% for the SMA (20, 50) and 85,03% to 87,5% for the EMA (20, 50). The best results for the SMA 20 and 50, on average, are concentrated in the region of 0-5% below the MA for the majority of holding periods. Buying very far below almost all MA in almost all holding periods turns out to be the worst possible option
CT Moving Average Crossover IndicatorMoving Average Crossover Indicator
Here I present a moving average indicator with 9 user definable moving averages from which up to 5 pairs can be selected to show what prices would need to be closed at on the current bar to cross each individual pair.
I have put much emphasis here on simplicity of setting the parameters of the moving averages, selecting the crossover pairs and on the clarity of the displayed information in the optional “Moving Average Crossover Level” Information Box.
What Is a Moving Average (MA)?
According to Investopedia - “In statistics, a moving average is a calculation used to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different subsets of the full data set.
In finance, a moving average (MA) is a stock indicator that is commonly used in technical analysis. The reason for calculating the moving average of a stock is to help smooth out the price data by creating a constantly updated average price.
By calculating the moving average, the impacts of random, short-term fluctuations on the price of a stock over a specified time-frame are mitigated.”
The user can set the color, type (SMA/EMA) and length of each of the 9 moving averages.
Then the user may choose 5 pairs of moving averages from the set of 9.
The script will then calculate the price needed to be crossed by the close of the current bar in order to crossover each of the user defined pairs and outputs the results as optional lineplots and/or an Infobox which shows the relevant information in a very clear way.
The user may switch the moving averages, crossover lineplots and infobox on and off easily with one click boxes in the settings menu.
The number of decimal places shown in the Infobox can be altered in the settings menu.
If the price required to cross a pair of moving averages is zero or less, the crossover level will display “Impossible” and the plots will plot at zero. (this helps ameliorate chart auto-focus issues)
Quoting a variety of online resources …….
Understanding Moving Averages (MA)
Moving averages are a simple, technical analysis tool. Moving averages are usually calculated to identify the trend direction of a stock or to determine its support and resistance levels. It is a trend-following—or lagging—indicator because it is based on past prices.
The longer the time period for the moving average, the greater the lag. So, a 200-day moving average will have a much greater degree of lag than a 20-day MA because it contains prices for the past 200 days. The 50-day and 200-day moving average figures for stocks are widely followed by investors and traders and are considered to be important trading signals.
Moving averages are a totally customizable indicator, which means that an investor can freely choose whatever time frame they want when calculating an average. The most common time periods used in moving averages are 15, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200 days. The shorter the time span used to create the average, the more sensitive it will be to price changes. The longer the time span, the less sensitive the average will be.
Investors may choose different time periods of varying lengths to calculate moving averages based on their trading objectives. Shorter moving averages are typically used for short-term trading, while longer-term moving averages are more suited for long-term investors.
There is no correct time frame to use when setting up your moving averages. The best way to figure out which one works best for you is to experiment with a number of different time periods until you find one that fits your strategy.
Predicting trends in the stock market is no simple process. While it is impossible to predict the future movement of a specific stock, using technical analysis and research can help you make better predictions.
A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates that it is in a downtrend. Similarly, upward momentum is confirmed with a bullish crossover, which occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a longer-term moving average. Conversely, downward momentum is confirmed with a bearish crossover, which occurs when a short-term moving average crosses below a longer-term moving average.
Types of Moving Averages
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The simplest form of a moving average, known as a simple moving average (SMA), is calculated by taking the arithmetic mean of a given set of values. In other words, a set of numbers–or prices in the case of financial instruments–are added together and then divided by the number of prices in the set.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
The exponential moving average is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices in an attempt to make it more responsive to new information.
To calculate an EMA, you must first compute the simple moving average (SMA) over a particular time period. Next, you must calculate the multiplier for weighting the EMA (referred to as the "smoothing factor"), which typically follows the formula: 2/(selected time period + 1). So, for a 20-day moving average, the multiplier would be 2/(20+1)= 0.0952. Then you use the smoothing factor combined with the previous EMA to arrive at the current value.
The EMA thus gives a higher weighting to recent prices, while the SMA assigns equal weighting to all values.
True Three Soldiers Method (TTSM) - Breakout ConfirmationIndicator Overview
True Three Soldiers Method (TTSM) - Made in China is a quantifiable evolution beyond traditional candlestick pattern recognition. It replaces subjective visual analysis with an objective, data-driven momentum system featuring smart breakout confirmation.
Core Innovation: Beyond Traditional Pattern Recognition
Traditional three-soldier patterns merely check for three consecutive bullish/bearish candles. TTSM goes much deeper:
Dual Signal System: It identifies both single-candle and three-candle momentum signals, providing earlier warnings of potential trend changes.
Quantifiable Strength Metrics: Each signal must meet customizable thresholds for both absolute price movement (percentage change) and relative efficiency (close-to-open distance relative to total range).
Breakout Confirmation Logic: The real innovation lies in the "True Signal" mechanism. Preliminary signals are tracked, and only when price breaks above the highest high of recent bullish signals (or below the lowest low of recent bearish signals) does it trigger a confirmed entry signal. This eliminates false breakouts and ensures you're trading with confirmed momentum.
Absolute Strength: Quantifies momentum via percentage price change.
Relative Strength: Measures candlestick efficiency (close-to-open vs. total range).
True Signal Validation: A "True" entry signal triggers only after price confirms momentum by breaking above/below a cluster of recent preliminary signals, filtering out false moves.
Dual-Layer Signal System
Key Features
🔴 Amber Signals (Preparation): Single-candle or three-candle patterns that meet strength criteria. These indicate potential momentum building and can be used for preparation or light positioning.
🟢 Green Signals (True Breakout): Triggered only when price breaks above/below the recent signal cluster extremes. These represent confirmed momentum and are ideal for main entries.
🎚 Fully Customizable: Every parameter—absolute/relative strength thresholds, lookback periods, and average calculations—can be adjusted to match your trading style and market conditions.
📊 Clear Visual Feedback: Color-coded labels and reference lines make signal identification instant and intuitive.
Parameter Customization Guide
All parameters are organized in intuitive groups:
Strength Thresholds: Adjust absolute (%) and relative (%) strength requirements for both long and short signals.
First Signal Thresholds: Special thresholds for when a signal is the first in the lookback period.
Lookback & Averages: Control how many bars are considered for signal tracking and moving averages.
Strategic Application
Preparation Signals: Use amber signals to prepare for potential moves, set alerts, or enter with smaller positions.
True Signals: Green/red "True" signals indicate confirmed momentum—ideal for main entries with proper risk management.
Combination Strategy: Pair TTSM with trend indicators (like Supertrend) for higher probability trades—only take True Signals in the direction of the main trend.
Density Zones (GM Crossing Clusters) + QHO Spin FlipsINDICATOR NAME
Density Zones (GM Crossing Clusters) + QHO Spin Flips
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines two complementary ideas into a single overlay: *this combines my earlier Geometric Mean Indicator with the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator (Overlay) with additional enhancements*
1) Density Zones (GM Crossing Clusters)
A “Density Zone” is detected when price repeatedly crosses a Geometric Mean equilibrium line (GM) within a rolling lookback window. Conceptually, this identifies regions where the market is repeatedly “snapping” across an equilibrium boundary—high churn, high decision pressure, and repeated re-selection of direction.
2) QHO Spin Flips (Regression-Residual σ Breaches)
A “Spin Flip” is detected when price deviates beyond a configurable σ-threshold (κ) from a regression-based equilibrium, using normalized residuals. Conceptually, this marks excursions into extreme states (decoherence / expansion), which often precede a reversion toward equilibrium and/or a regime re-scaling.
These two systems are related but not identical:
- Density Zones identify where equilibrium crossings cluster (a “singularity”/anchor behavior around GM).
- Spin Flips identify when price exceeds statistically extreme displacement from the regression equilibrium (LSR), indicating expansion beyond typical variance.
CORE CONCEPTS AND FORMULAS
SECTION A — GEOMETRIC MEAN EQUILIBRIUM (GM)
We define two moving averages:
(1) MA1_t = SMA(close_t, L1)
(2) MA2_t = SMA(close_t, L2)
We define the equilibrium anchor as the geometric mean of MA1 and MA2:
(3) GM_t = sqrt( MA1_t * MA2_t )
This GM line acts as an equilibrium boundary. Repeated crossings are interpreted as high “equilibrium churn.”
SECTION B — CROSS EVENTS (UP/DOWN)
A “cross event” is registered when the sign of (close - GM) changes:
Define a sign function s_t:
(4) s_t =
+1 if close_t > GM_t
-1 if close_t < GM_t
s_{t-1} if close_t == GM_t (tie-breaker to avoid false flips)
Then define the crossing event indicator:
(5) crossEvent_t = 1 if s_t != s_{t-1}
0 otherwise
Additionally, the indicator plots explicit cross markers:
- Cross Above GM: crossover(close, GM)
- Cross Below GM: crossunder(close, GM)
These provide directional visual cues and match the original Geometric Mean Indicator behavior.
SECTION C — DENSITY MEASURE (CROSSING CLUSTER COUNT)
A Density Zone is based on the number of cross events occurring in the last W bars:
(6) D_t = Σ_{i=0..W-1} crossEvent_{t-i}
This is a “crossing density” score: how many times price has toggled across GM recently.
The script implements this efficiently using a cumulative sum identity:
Let x_t = crossEvent_t.
(7) cumX_t = Σ_{j=0..t} x_j
Then:
(8) D_t = cumX_t - cumX_{t-W} (for t >= W)
cumX_t (for t < W)
SECTION D — DENSITY ZONE TRIGGER
We define a Density Zone state:
(9) isDZ_t = ( D_t >= θ )
where:
- θ (theta) is the user-selected crossing threshold.
Zone edges:
(10) dzStart_t = isDZ_t AND NOT isDZ_{t-1}
(11) dzEnd_t = NOT isDZ_t AND isDZ_{t-1}
SECTION E — DENSITY ZONE BOUNDS
While inside a Density Zone, we track the running high/low to display zone bounds:
(12) dzHi_t = max(dzHi_{t-1}, high_t) if isDZ_t
(13) dzLo_t = min(dzLo_{t-1}, low_t) if isDZ_t
On dzStart:
(14) dzHi_t := high_t
(15) dzLo_t := low_t
Outside zones, bounds are reset to NA.
These bounds visually bracket the “singularity span” (the churn envelope) during each density episode.
SECTION F — QHO EQUILIBRIUM (REGRESSION CENTERLINE)
Define the regression equilibrium (LSR):
(16) m_t = linreg(close_t, L, 0)
This is the “centerline” the QHO system uses as equilibrium.
SECTION G — RESIDUAL AND σ (FIELD WIDTH)
Residual:
(17) r_t = close_t - m_t
Rolling standard deviation of residuals:
(18) σ_t = stdev(r_t, L)
This σ_t is the local volatility/width of the residual field around the regression equilibrium.
SECTION H — NORMALIZED DISPLACEMENT AND SPIN FLIP
Define the standardized displacement:
(19) Y_t = (close_t - m_t) / σ_t
(If σ_t = 0, the script safely treats Y_t = 0.)
Spin Flip trigger uses a user threshold κ:
(20) spinFlip_t = ( |Y_t| > κ )
Directional spin flips:
(21) spinUp_t = ( Y_t > +κ )
(22) spinDn_t = ( Y_t < -κ )
The default κ=3.0 corresponds to “3σ excursions,” which are statistically extreme under a normal residual assumption (even though real markets are not perfectly normal).
SECTION I — QHO BANDS (OPTIONAL VISUALIZATION)
The indicator optionally draws the standard σ-bands around the regression equilibrium:
(23) 1σ bands: m_t ± 1·σ_t
(24) 2σ bands: m_t ± 2·σ_t
(25) 3σ bands: m_t ± 3·σ_t
These provide immediate context for the Spin Flip events.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
1) MA1 / MA2 / GM lines (optional)
- MA1 (blue), MA2 (red), GM (green).
- GM is the equilibrium anchor for Density Zones and cross markers.
2) GM Cross Markers (optional)
- “GM↑” label markers appear on bars where close crosses above GM.
- “GM↓” label markers appear on bars where close crosses below GM.
3) Density Zone Shading (optional)
- Background shading appears while isDZ_t = true.
- This is the period where the crossing density D_t is above θ.
4) Density Zone High/Low Bounds (optional)
- Two lines (dzHi / dzLo) are drawn only while in-zone.
- These bounds bracket the full churn envelope during the density episode.
5) QHO Bands (optional)
- 1σ, 2σ, 3σ shaded zones around regression equilibrium.
- These visualize the current variance field.
6) Regression Equilibrium (LSR Centerline)
- The white centerline is the regression equilibrium m_t.
7) Spin Flip Markers
- A circle is plotted when |Y_t| > κ (beyond your chosen σ-threshold).
- Marker size is user-controlled (tiny → huge).
HOW TO USE IT
Step 1 — Pick the equilibrium anchor (GM)
- L1 and L2 define MA1 and MA2.
- GM = sqrt(MA1 * MA2) becomes your equilibrium boundary.
Typical choices:
- Faster equilibrium: L1=20, L2=50 (default-like).
- Slower equilibrium: L1=50, L2=200 (macro anchor).
Interpretation:
- GM acts like a “center of mass” between two moving averages.
- Crosses show when price flips from one side of equilibrium to the other.
Step 2 — Tune Density Zones (W and θ)
- W controls the time window measured (how far back you count crossings).
- θ controls how many crossings qualify as a “density/singularity episode.”
Guideline:
- Larger W = slower, broader density detection.
- Higher θ = only the most intense churn is labeled as a Density Zone.
Interpretation:
- A Density Zone is not “bullish” or “bearish” by itself.
- It is a condition: repeated equilibrium toggling (high churn / high compression).
- These often precede expansions, but direction is not implied by the zone alone.
Step 3 — Tune the QHO spin flip sensitivity (L and κ)
- L controls regression memory and σ estimation length.
- κ controls how extreme the displacement must be to trigger a spin flip.
Guideline:
- Smaller L = more reactive centerline and σ.
- Larger L = smoother, slower “field” definition.
- κ=3.0 = strong extreme filter.
- κ=2.0 = more frequent flips.
Interpretation:
- Spin flips mark when price exits the “normal” residual field.
- In your model language: a moment of decoherence/expansion that is statistically extreme relative to recent equilibrium.
Step 4 — Read the combined behavior (your key thesis)
A) Density Zone forms (GM churn clusters):
- Market repeatedly crosses equilibrium (GM), compressing into a bounded churn envelope.
- dzHi/dzLo show the envelope range.
B) Expansion occurs:
- Price can release away from the density envelope (up or down).
- If it expands far enough relative to regression equilibrium, a Spin Flip triggers (|Y| > κ).
C) Re-coherence:
- After a spin flip, price often returns toward equilibrium structures:
- toward the regression centerline m_t
- and/or back toward the density envelope (dzHi/dzLo) depending on regime behavior.
- The indicator does not guarantee return, but it highlights the condition where return-to-field is statistically likely in many regimes.
IMPORTANT NOTES / DISCLAIMERS
- This indicator is an analytical overlay. It does not provide financial advice.
- Density Zones are condition states derived from GM crossing frequency; they do not predict direction.
- Spin Flips are statistical excursions based on regression residuals and rolling σ; markets have fat tails and non-stationarity, so σ-based thresholds are contextual, not absolute.
- All parameters (L1, L2, W, θ, L, κ) should be tuned per asset, timeframe, and volatility regime.
PARAMETER SUMMARY
Geometric Mean / Density Zones:
- L1: MA1 length
- L2: MA2 length
- GM_t = sqrt(SMA(L1)*SMA(L2))
- W: crossing-count lookback window
- θ: crossing density threshold
- D_t = Σ crossEvent_{t-i} over W
- isDZ_t = (D_t >= θ)
- dzHi/dzLo track envelope bounds while isDZ is true
QHO / Spin Flips:
- L: regression + residual σ length
- m_t = linreg(close, L, 0)
- r_t = close_t - m_t
- σ_t = stdev(r_t, L)
- Y_t = r_t / σ_t
- spinFlip_t = (|Y_t| > κ)
Visual Controls:
- toggles for GM lines, cross markers, zone shading, bounds, QHO bands
- marker size options for GM crosses and spin flips
ALERTS INCLUDED
- Density Zone START / END
- Spin Flip UP / DOWN
- Cross Above GM / Cross Below GM
SUMMARY
This indicator treats the Geometric Mean as an equilibrium boundary and identifies “Density Zones” when price repeatedly crosses that equilibrium within a rolling window, forming a bounded churn envelope (dzHi/dzLo). It also models a regression-based equilibrium field and triggers “Spin Flips” when price makes statistically extreme σ-excursions from that field. Used together, Density Zones highlight compression/decision regions (equilibrium churn), while Spin Flips highlight extreme expansion states (σ-breaches), allowing the user to visualize how price compresses around equilibrium, releases outward, and often re-stabilizes around equilibrium structures over time.
Braid Filter StrategyThis strategy is like a sophisticated set of traffic lights and speed limit signs for trading. It only allows a trade when multiple indicators line up to confirm a strong move, giving it its "Braid Filter" name—it weaves together several conditions.
The strategy is set up to use 100% of your account equity (your trading funds) on a trade and does not "pyramid" (it won't add to an existing trade).
1. The Main Trend Check (The Traffic Lights)
The strategy uses three main filters that must agree before it considers a trade.
A. The "Chad Filter" (Direction & Strength)
This is the heart of the strategy, a custom combination of three different Moving AveragesThese averages have fast, medium, and slow settings (3, 7, and 14 periods).
Go Green (Buy Signal): The fastest average is higher than the medium average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated (not tangled up, which indicates a strong move).
Go Red (Sell Signal): The medium average is higher than the fastest average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated.
Neutral (Wait): If the averages are tangled or the separation isn't strong enough.
Key Trigger: A primary condition for a signal is when the Chad Filter changes color (e.g., from Red/Grey to Green).
B. The EMA Trend Bars (Secondary Confirmation)
This is a simpler, longer-term filter using a 34-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It checks if the current candle's average price is above or below this EMA.
Green Bars: The price is above the 34 EMA (Bullish Trend).
Red Bars: The price is below the 34 EMA (Bearish Trend).
Trades only happen if the signal direction matches the bar color. For a Buy, the bar must be Green. For a Sell, the bar must be Red.
C. ADX/DI Filter (The Speed Limit Sign)
This uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Indicators (DI) to check if a trend is actually in motion and getting stronger.
Must-Have Conditions:
The ADX value must be above 20 (meaning there is a trend, not just random movement).
The ADX line must be rising (meaning the trend is accelerating/getting stronger).
The strategy will only trade when the trend is strong and building momentum.
2. The Trading Action (Entry and Exit)
When all three filters (Chad Filter color change, EMA Trend Bar color, and ADX strength/slope) align, the strategy issues a signal, but it doesn't enter immediately.
Entry Strategy (The "Wait-for-Confirmation" Approach):
When a Buy Signal appears, the strategy sets a "Buy Stop" order at the signal candle's closing price.
It then waits for up to 3 candles (Candles Valid for Entry). The price must move up and hit that Buy Stop price within those 3 candles to confirm the move and enter the trade.
A Sell Signal works the same way but uses a "Sell Stop" at the closing price, waiting for the price to drop and hit it.
Risk Management (Stop Loss and Take Profit):
Stop Loss: To manage risk, the strategy finds a recent significant low (for a Buy) or high (for a Sell) over the last 20 candles and places the Stop Loss there. This is a logical place where the current move would be considered "broken" if the price reaches it.
Take Profit: It uses a fixed Risk:Reward Ratio (set to 1.5 by default). This means the potential profit (Take Profit distance) is $1.50 for every $1.00 of risk (Stop Loss distance).
3. Additional Controls
Time Filter: You can choose to only allow trades during specific hours of the day.
Visuals: It shows a small triangle on the chart where the signal happens and colors the background to reflect the Chad Filter's trend (Green/Red/Grey) and the candle bars to show the EMA trend (Lime/Red).
🎯 Summary of the Strategy's Goal
This strategy is designed to capture strong, confirmed momentum moves. It uses a fast, custom indicator ("Chad Filter") to detect the start of a new move, confirms that move with a slower trend filter (34 EMA), and then validates the move's strength with the ADX. By waiting a few candles for the price to hit the entry level, it aims to avoid false signals.

PLAIN VAMSThe PLAIN VAMS (Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score) is a visual tool designed to help traders identify momentum shifts relative to prevailing volatility conditions. Unlike traditional momentum indicators, VAMS adapts dynamically to price fluctuations by comparing current price levels to volatility-based boundaries derived from customizable moving averages.
Key Features:
- Volatility-Adjusted Zones: Prices are evaluated against upper and lower dynamic boundaries, signaling potential overbought or oversold momentum conditions.
Two Modes:
- PLAIN VAMS (default): Uses a longer lookback period for smoother, trend-following behavior.
- RAW VAMS: A shorter lookback for high-sensitivity, intraday or scalping setups.
Customizable Moving Averages:
Choose from multiple MA types (EMA, SMA, WMA, etc.) to match your strategy preferences.
Visual Clarity:
- Color-coded candles for quick signal recognition.
- Optional background shading for immediate context.
- Boundary lines to define momentum thresholds.
How It Works:
The script calculates a moving average (based on user-selected type and period) and applies an upper and lower multiplier to create dynamic price boundaries. When price closes beyond these bands, it suggests a strong directional momentum move. The indicator is fully customizable to adapt to your trading style and timeframe.
Use Cases:
- Identify potential breakouts or trend continuations.
- Filter entries/exits based on momentum strength.
- Combine with other tools for confirmation in your strategy.
This indicator does not repaint or use future-looking data. It’s designed for discretionary and systematic traders looking for an adaptive way to visualize momentum relative to market volatility.
liquidation Heatmap [by Alpha_Precision_Charts]Indicator Description: Heatmap Longs/Shorts with OI Sensitivity & Aggregated Tools
Overview
The "Heatmap Longs/Shorts with OI Sensitivity & Aggregated Tools" is an advanced, multi-functional indicator crafted for futures traders seeking a deeper understanding of market dynamics. This tool integrates several key features—Heatmap of Longs and Shorts with Open Interest (OI) sensitivity, Histograms, Liquidity Exit Bubbles, Volume Bubbles, RSI Labels, Moving Averages, and an OI Table—into a single, cohesive package. By pulling real-time OI data from major exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, OKX, Kraken), it offers a robust framework for analyzing liquidity, order flow, momentum, and trends across various timeframes.
Why Aggregation Matters
Market analysis thrives on combining diverse insights, as relying on a single tool often leaves gaps in understanding. Each component of this indicator addresses a distinct aspect of market behavior:
Heatmap Longs/Shorts with OI Sensitivity: Maps potential liquidation zones based on OI, pinpointing where leveraged positions might cluster.
Histograms: Visualize the density of potential liquidity across price levels, enhancing OI-based analysis.
OI Table: Provides a breakdown of OI across all supported exchanges, offering transparency into total market exposure.
Liquidity Exit Bubbles: Highlight significant position exits (negative OI delta), signaling potential reversals or liquidations.
Volume Bubbles: Detect high-volume events from perpetual futures, revealing aggressive market participation.
RSI Labels: Track momentum with overbought and oversold conditions, refining entry and exit timing.
Moving Averages: Establish trend direction and dynamic support/resistance levels.
The power of aggregation lies in its ability to connect these dots. For instance, the Heatmap identifies potential liquidation zones, Volume Bubbles confirm aggressive moves, and RSI Labels add momentum context. Histograms and the OI Table further enrich this by detailing liquidity density and market exposure, creating a comprehensive view critical for navigating volatile markets.
Key Features
Heatmap Longs/Shorts with OI Sensitivity
Displays potential liquidation levels above (Shorts) and below (Longs) the price, with leverage settings from 5x to 125x.
Includes a Minimum Liquidity Sensitivity filter (0.1-1.0) to exclude small-order noise.
Features a dynamic gradient (purple to yellow) with adjustable intensity based on OI.
Note: Exact trader leverage isn’t known; liquidation zones are inferred from market psychology, as traders often favor specific leverage levels (e.g., 25x, 50x, 125x).
Histograms
Display the density of potential liquidity across price levels, complementing the Heatmap. Note that the largest histogram bars may appear in different locations compared to the most intense (yellow) areas of the Heatmap, as histograms primarily focus on the accumulation of smaller orders.
OI Table
Aggregates OI data from all supported exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, OKX, Kraken) in base currency and USD, sortable by volume.
Displays total OI and individual exchange contributions automatically.
Liquidity Exit Bubbles
Plots bubbles for significant negative OI changes, sized as small, medium, or large based on magnitude.
Positioned above or below candles depending on volatility direction, with customizable colors.
Volume Bubbles
Marks high-volume activity from perpetual futures, with sizes (normal, high, ultra-high) tied to intensity.
Offers adjustable sensitivity and offset for precise placement.
RSI Labels
Provides real-time RSI readings, highlighting overbought (≥70) and oversold (≤30) levels.
Configurable by price source (e.g., High/Low, Close) and timeframe, with customizable appearance.
Moving Averages
Supports SMA, EMA, WMA, and VWMA with three user-defined periods (default: 21, 50, 100).
Toggleable visibility and colors for trend analysis.
How to Use
Scalping/Day Trading (1m-15m):
Load the indicator three times: one at 125x leverage (visible), one at 50x (hidden), and one at 25x (hidden). Use the 125x Heatmap to identify immediate liquidation zones. When price breaks through the 125x liquidity pool, enable the 50x instance, then 25x as needed, to track cascading liquidations.
Pair with Histograms to monitor potential liquidity density, Volume Bubbles for breakout signals, and Liquidity Exit Bubbles for reversals.
Check RSI Labels on short timeframes (e.g., 15m) for overextended moves.
Swing Trading (1H-4H):
Set the Heatmap to lower leverage (e.g., 25x, 10x) and combine with Moving Averages to confirm trends.
Use RSI Labels on matching timeframes to time entries/exits based on momentum.
Reference the OI Table to assess overall market exposure.
Liquidity Analysis:
Adjust the Minimum Liquidity Sensitivity to focus on significant OI clusters. Higher filtering removes small orders, so use Volume Bubbles and the OI Table for broader context in sideways markets.
Use the OI Table to see total OI across all exchanges.
General Tips:
Toggle features (e.g., Bubbles, MAs) to focus on relevant data.
Test settings on your asset—optimized for Bitcoin, adjustable for altcoins.
Settings
Exchanges: Data from Binance, BitMEX, OKX, and Kraken is automatically included.
Heatmap: Enable Longs/Shorts, set start date, adjust leverage and color intensity.
Liquidity Filtering: Tune Minimum Liquidity Sensitivity (0.1-1.0) to balance detail and noise.
Histograms: Automatically active, showing potential liquidity density; no direct settings.
