Log Regression Channel [UAlgo]The "Log Regression Channel " channel is useful for analyzing price trends and volatility in a financial instrument over a specified period. By using logarithmic scaling, this indicator can more effectively handle the wide range of price movements seen in many financial markets, making it particularly valuable for assets with exponential growth characteristics.
The indicator plots the central regression line along with upper and lower deviation bands, providing a visual representation of potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Logarithmic Regression Line: The central line represents the logarithmic regression, which fits the price data over the specified length using a logarithmic scale. This helps in identifying the overall trend direction.
Deviation Bands: The upper and lower bands are plotted at a specified multiple of the standard deviation from the regression line, highlighting areas of potential overbought and oversold conditions.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust the length of the regression, the deviation multiplier, the color of the labels, and the size of the text labels to suit their preferences.
R-Squared Display: The R-squared value, which measures the goodness of fit of the regression model, is displayed on the chart. This helps traders assess the reliability of the regression line.
🔶 Calculations
The indicator performs several key calculations to plot the logarithmic regression channel:
Logarithmic Transformation: The prices and time indices are transformed using the natural logarithm to handle exponential growth in price data.
Regression Coefficients: The slope and intercept of the regression line are calculated using the least squares method on the transformed data.
Predicted Values: The regression equation is used to calculate predicted values for each data point.
Standard Deviation: The standard deviation of the residuals (differences between actual and predicted values) is computed to determine the width of the deviation bands.
Deviation Bands: Upper and lower bands are plotted at a specified multiple of the standard deviation above and below the regression line.
R-Squared Value: The R-squared value is calculated to measure how well the regression line fits the data. This value is displayed on the chart to inform the user of the model's reliability.

Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal"Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal" leverages Bollinger Bands and moving averages to provide dynamic buy and sell signals based on market conditions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to identify strategic entry and exit points based on volatility and trend analysis.
How It Works
Bollinger Bands Setup: The indicator calculates Bollinger Bands using a specified length and multiplier. These bands serve to identify potential overbought (upper band) or oversold (lower band) conditions.
Moving Averages: Two moving averages are calculated — a trend moving average (trendMA) and a long-term moving average (longTermMA) — to gauge the market's direction over different time frames.
Market Phase Determination: The script classifies the market into bullish or bearish phases based on the relationship of the closing price to the long-term moving average.
Strong Buy and Sell Signals: Enhanced signals are generated based on how significantly the price deviates from the Bollinger Bands, coupled with the average candle size over a specified lookback period. The signals are adjusted based on whether the market is bullish or bearish:
In bullish markets, a strong buy signal is triggered if the price significantly drops below the lower Bollinger Band. Conversely, a strong sell signal is activated when the price rises well above the upper band.
In bearish markets, these signals are modified to be more conservative, adjusting the thresholds for triggering strong buy and sell signals.
Features:
Flexibility: Users can adjust the length of the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, as well as the multipliers and factors that determine the strength of buy and sell signals, making it highly customizable to different trading styles and market conditions.
Visual Aids: The script vividly plots the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, and signals are visually represented on the chart, allowing traders to quickly assess trading opportunities:
Regular buy and sell signals are indicated by simple shapes below or above price bars.
Strong buy and sell signals are highlighted with distinctive colors and placed prominently to catch the trader's attention.
Background Coloring: The background color changes based on the market phase, providing an immediate visual cue of the market's overall sentiment.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on technical analysis to guide their trading decisions. By integrating both Bollinger Bands and moving averages, it provides a multi-faceted view of market trends and volatility, making it suitable for identifying potential reversals and continuation patterns. Traders can use this tool to enhance their understanding of market dynamics and refine their trading strategies accordingly.
Deck@r True Range IndexThis Pine Script calculates the True Range Index (TRI) using ATR and Fib Levels and uses the result to generate buy and sell signals based on certain conditions.
Here's a breakdown of the code:
Inputs:
atr_period: Determines the period for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), preferred setting at 14.
atr_multiplier: Multiplier used to set the width of the ATR bands preferred setting at 1.
Calculations:
atr_value: Calculates the Average True Range (ATR) using the input period.
upper_band: Calculates the upper band of the ATR bands using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the close price plus the ATR multiplied by the multiplier.
lower_band: Calculates the lower band of the ATR bands using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the close price minus the ATR multiplied by the multiplier.
midline_75 and midline_25: Calculate midlines at Fibonacci retracement levels of 0.75 and 0.25, respectively, between the upper and lower bands.
Plotting:
Plots the upper and lower bands of the ATR bands.
Optionally plots midlines for the ATR bands (commented out in the code).

Plots buy and sell signals on the chart.
Bollinger OTT SpreadBollinger OTT Spread (BOOTS) is a development combining Bollinger Bands with Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) Indicator by Anıl Özekşi.
Bollinger Bands have originally 3 lines: Simple Moving Average (Middle Line), Upper Band and Lower Band.
BOOTS concentrates on the upper and lower Bollinger band lines.
First, it calculates the OTT using the UPPER and LOWER Bollinger Bands in a period of time (default lengths are 2) instead of closing prices.
After that, Upper and lower bands have more constant values.
There are 2 lines in BOOTS:
-The top (cyan) line is originally an OTT of the Upper Bollinger Band. (BOOTShigh)
-The bottom line (purple) is also an OTT line but conversely uses Lower Bollinger Band in the same period. (BOOTSlow)
Default values:
Bollinger Bands Moving AveragePeriod: 2 Bars
OTT Length: 2 Bars
OTT Optimizing coefficient (percent): %10
Bollinger Bands Standart Deviation Multiplier: 2 (not adjustable)
These values are designed for daily time frame, so they have to be optimized in other timeframes by the user. (Ex: Higher values can be considered in lower time frames)
Originally, Bollinger Bands used a Simple Moving Average in their calculation, but this time, Anıl Özekşi prefers VIDYA (Variable Dynamic Moving Average = VAR) instead of a Simple Moving Average.
Bollinger Bands cannot create significant BUY & SELL signals considering their original logic, but the primary purpose of BOOTS is to have substantial trading signals:
BUY when the price crosses above the BOOTSLower line (purple line)
STOP when the price crosses back below the BOOTSLower line (purple line)
SELL when the price crosses below the BOOTSUpper line (cyan line)
STOP when the price crosses back above the BOOTSUpper line (cyan line)
The price zone between the two lines is the flat zone; traders don't consider taking new positions in that area between the two lines.
Developer Anıl Özekşi advises that traders may have more accurate signals when using a short-period moving average instead of closing prices. So, I added a moving average with the same default length of 2 , which was used in Bollinger Bands calculation. You can check the "SHOW MOVING AVERAGE?" box on the settings tab of the indicator.
MESThe Double Bollinger Bands strategy is a trend-following strategy that aims to identify high-probability trading opportunities in trending markets. The strategy involves using two sets of Bollinger Bands with different standard deviation values to identify potential entry and exit points.
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool that consists of three lines plotted on a price chart: a simple moving average (SMA) in the middle, and an upper and lower band that are each a certain number of standard deviations away from the SMA. The standard deviation value determines the width of the bands, with a larger deviation resulting in wider bands.
In this indicator, the first set of Bollinger Bands is calculated using a length of 20 bars and a standard deviation of 2, while the second set uses a length of 20 bars and a standard deviation of 3. The bands are plotted on the price chart along with the SMA for each set.
The buy signal is generated when the price falls below the lower band of the second set of Bollinger Bands (the 3-standard deviation band) and then rises above the lower band of the first set (the 2-standard deviation band). This is interpreted as a potential reversal point in a downtrend and a signal to enter a long position.
Conversely, the sell signal is generated when the price rises above the upper band of the second set of Bollinger Bands and then falls below the upper band of the first set. This is interpreted as a potential reversal point in an uptrend and a signal to enter a short position.
To make it easier to identify buy and sell signals on the price chart, the indicator plots triangles above the bars for sell signals and below the bars for buy signals.
Overall, the Double Bollinger Bands strategy can be a useful tool for traders who want to follow trends and identify potential entry and exit points. However, as with any trading strategy, it is important to backtest and thoroughly evaluate its performance before using it in live trading.
Momentum Channel - [Volume Filter]The indicator incorporates a volume filter to ensure that the RSI only moves when the volume is above the moving average of the volume.
The filtered RSI is then used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, providing insights into the market dynamics.
It also gives you insight into the bigger timeframes so you can monitor momentum!
Volume Filter Length: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
Overview of code:
rsiPeriod: Input parameter for the RSI period.
bandLength: Input parameter for the length of the Bollinger Bands.
lengthrsipl: Input parameter for the length of the fast moving average (MA) on the RSI.
volumeFilterLength: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
volumeAvg: Calculates the moving average of the volume using the ta.sma() function with the specified volume filter length.
filteredRsi: Uses the ta.valuewhen() function to obtain the RSI value only when the volume is greater than or equal to the volume moving average. This creates a filtered RSI based on the volume filter.
offs: Calculates the offset value for the Bollinger Bands. It is derived by multiplying 1.6185 with the standard deviation of the filtered RSI using the ta.stdev() function.
Nadaraya-Watson OscillatorThis indicator is based on the work of @jdehorty and his amazing Nadaraya-Watson Kernel Envelope, which you can see here:
General Description
The Nadaraya-Watson Oscillator (NWO) will give the same information as the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope, but as an oscillator off the main chart, by plotting the relationship between price and the Kernel and its bands. This also means that we can now detect divergences between price and the NWO.
You can see the relationship between the two here:
You can think of this indicator as the kernel envelope version of a Bollinger Band %B. In ranging markets the bands are perfect for mean reversion trades, but in certain situations the break of one of the bands can signal the beggining of a strong trend and price will remain close to the bands for a long period and will only give small pullbacks. As with any indicator, confluence with price and other tools must be taken into account.
Main Features
As with @jdehorty 's Envelope, you can change the following settings:
Lookback Window.
Relative Weighting.
The initial bar for the regression.
ATR period for the bands.
Inner and Outer Multiples for the bands.
I also added the following:
A middle band around the Kernel to filter out false crossovers.
A Hull Moving Average to smoothen out the movements of the oscillator and give extra confirmation of turnover points.
Colors
Some special things to note regarding the coloring:
The zero line features a gradient that changes color every time the Kernel slope changes direction.
The Oscillator plot has a gradient coloring that gets stronger the closer it gets to each of the bands.
Every time the oscillator crosses over/under the outer bands the background will be highlighted.
Happy trading!
VWAP Market Session AnchoredVWAP Market Session Anchored differs from the traditional VWAP or VWAP Auto Anchored indicator in that the Volume Weighted Average Price calculation is automatically anchored to four major market session starts: Sydney, London, Tokyo, New York.
Settings
Source: the source for the VWAP calculation.
Offset: changing this number will move the VWAP either Forwards or Backwards, relative to the current market. Zero is the default.
Band: enabling this will show Standard Deviation bands.
Band Multiplier: the value the Standard Deviation bands will be multiplied by before being plotted on the chart.
Sessions : enabling the sessions will plot the respective anchored VWAP on chart.
Custom: enabling this will show a custom user-defined session.
Custom UTC : the custom session is defined by a starting UTC hour followed by the ending UTC hour.
Usage
Similar to the traditional VWAP, VWAP Market Session Anchored is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume. VWAP Market Session Anchored can be used to identify the trend during a specific market session.
Limitations
When setting a custom session, be mindful that calculations are based off of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time, you must convert your local time zone to UTC in order to have an accurate representation of your custom session.
It is not recommended to use this indicator on timeframes above 1 hour as market sessions only last a few hours.
Cryptogrithm's Secret Momentum and Volatility IndicatorThis indicator is hard-coded for Bitcoin, but you may try it on other asset classes/coins. I have not updated this indicator in over 3 years, but it seems to still work very well for Bitcoin.
This indicator is NOT for beginners and is directed towards intermediate/advanced traders with a sensibility to agree/disagree with what this indicator is signalling (common sense).
This indicator was developed back in 2018 and I has not been maintained since, which is the reason why I am releasing it. (It still works great though! At the time of this writing of May 2022).
How to use:
Terms:
PA (Price Action): Literally the candlestick formations on your chart (and the trend formation). If you don't know how to read and understand price action, I will make a fast-track video/guide on this later (but in the meanwhile, you need to begin by learning Order-Flow Analysis, please google it first before asking).
CG Level (Cryptogrithm Level/Yellow Line): PA level above = bullish, PA level below = bearish
CG Bands (Cryptogrithm Bands): This is similar to how bollingers work, you can use this the same was as bollinger bands. The only difference is that the CG bands are more strict with the upper and lower levels as it uses different calculations to hug the price tighter allowing it to be more reactive to drastic price changes (earlier signals for oversold/overbought).
CG Upper Band (Red Upper Line): Above this upper bound line means overbought.
CG Middle Band (Light Blue Line): If PA trades above this line, the current PA trend is bullish continuing in the uptrend. If PA trades below this line, the current PA trend is bearish continuing in the downtrend. This band should only be used for short-term trends.
CG Lower Band (Green Lower Line): Below this lower bound line means oversold.
What the CG Level (yellow line) tells you:
PA is trading above CG Level = Bullish
PA is trading below CG Level = Bearish
Distance between CG Level and price = Momentum
What this means is that the further away the price is from the CG Level, the greater the momentum of the current PA trend. An increasing gap between the CG Level and PA indicates the price's strength (momentum) towards the current upward/downward trend. Basically when the PA and CG Level diverge, it means that the momentum is increasing in the current trend and when they converge, the current trend is losing momentum and the direction of the PA trend may flip towards the other direction (momentum flip).
PA+CG Level Momentum:
To use the CG Level as a momentum indicator, you need to pay attention to how the price and the CG level are moving away/closer from each other:
PA + CG Level Diverges = Momentum Increasing
PA + CG Level Converges = Momentum Decreasing
Examples (kind of common sense, but just for clarity):
Case 1: Bullish Divergence (Bullish): The PA is ABOVE and trending AWAY above from the CG Level = very bullish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the upside and larger moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level)
Case 2: Bearish Convergence (Bearish): - The PA is ABOVE the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bearish, there is a possibility that the upward trend is ending. Look to start closing off long positions until case 1 (divergence) occurs again.
Case 3: Neutral - The PA is trading on the CG Level (no clear divergence or convergence between the PA and CG Level) = Indicates a back and forth (tug of war) between bears and bulls. Beware of choppy price patterns as the trend is undecisive until either supply/liquidity is dried out and a winner between bull/bear is chosen. This is a no trade zone, but do as you wish.
Case 4: Bearish Divergence (Bearish): The PA is BELOW and trending AWAY BELOW from the CG Level = very bearish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the downside and larger downward moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level).
Case 5: Bullish Convergence (Bullish): - The PA is BELOW the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bullish, there is a possibility that the downward trend is ending and a trend flip is occuring. Look to start closing off short positions until case 4 (divergence) occurs again.
CG Bands + CG Level: You can use the CG bands instead of the PA candles to get a cleaner interpretation of reading the momentum. I won't go into detail as this is pretty self-explanatory. It is the same explanation as PA+CG Level Momentum, but you are replacing the PA candles with the CG Bands for interpretation. So instead of the PA converging/diverging from the CG Level, the Upper and Lower Bound levels are converging/diverging from the CG level instead.
Convergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades inside the CG bands
Divergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades outside the CG bands
Bullish/Bearish depends on whether the CG Band is trading below or above the CG level. If CG Band is above the CG Level, this is bullish. If CG Band is below the CG level, this is bearish.
Crosses (PA or CG Band crosses with CG level): This typically indicates volatility is incoming.
There are MANY MANY MANY other ways to use this indicator that is not explained here and even other undiscovered methods. Use some common sense as to how this indicator works (it is a momentum indicator and volatility predictor). You can get pretty creative and apply your own methods / knowledge to it and look for patterns that occur. Feel free to comment and share what you came up with!
Aurum DCX AVE Gold and Silver StrategySummary in one paragraph
Aurum DCX AVE is a volatility break strategy for gold and silver on intraday and swing timeframes. It aligns a new Directional Convexity Index with an Adaptive Volatility Envelope and an optional USD/DXY bias so trades appear only when direction quality and expansion agree. It is original because it fuses three pieces rarely combined in one model for metals: a convexity aware trend strength score, a percentile based envelope that widens with regime heat, and an intermarket DXY filter.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Gold and silver futures or spot, other liquid commodities, major indices
• Timeframes. Five minutes to one day. Defaults to 30min for swing pace
• Default demo used in this publication. TVC:GOLD on 30m
• Purpose. Enter confirmed volatility breaks while muting chop using regime heat and USD bias
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. DCX combines DI strength with path efficiency and curvature. AVE blends ATR with a high TR percentile and widens with DCX heat. DXY adds an intermarket bias
• Failure mode addressed. False starts inside compression and unconfirmed breakouts during USD swings
• Testability. Each component has a named input. Entry names L and S are visible in the list of trades
• Portable yardstick. Weekly ATR for stops and R multiples for targets
• Open source. Method and implementation are disclosed for community review
Method overview in plain language
You score direction quality with DCX, size an adaptive envelope with a blend of ATR and a high TR percentile, and only allow breaks that clear the band while DCX is above a heat threshold in the same direction. An optional DXY filter favors long when USD weakens and short when USD strengthens. Orders are bracketed with a Weekly ATR stop and an R multiple target, with optional trailing to the envelope.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range and ATR over user windows. A high TR percentile captures expansion tails used by AVE
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Directional Convexity Index DCX. Measures directional strength with DX, multiplies by path efficiency, blends a curvature term from acceleration, scales to 0 to 100, and uses a rise window
• Adaptive Volatility Envelope AVE. Midline ALMA or HMA or EMA plus bands sized by a blend of ATR and a high TR percentile. The blend weight follows volatility of volatility. Band width widens with DCX heat
• DXY Bias optional. Daily EMA trend of DXY. Long bias when USD weakens. Short bias when USD strengthens
• Risk block. Initial stop equals Weekly ATR times a multiplier. Target equals an R multiple of the initial risk. Optional trailing to AVE band
Fusion rule
• All gates must pass. DCX above threshold and rising. Directional lead agrees. Price breaks the AVE band in the same direction. DXY bias agrees when enabled
Signal rule
• Long. Close above AVE upper and DCX above threshold and DCX rising and plus DI leads and DXY bias is bearish
• Short. Close below AVE lower and DCX above threshold and DCX falling and minus DI leads and DXY bias is bullish
• Exit and flip. Bracket exit at stop or target. Optional trailing to AVE band

ATR Volatility and Trend AnalysisATR Volatility and Trend Analysis
Unlock the power of the Average True Range (ATR) with the ATR Volatility and Trend Analysis indicator. This comprehensive tool is designed to provide traders with a multi-faceted view of market dynamics, combining volatility analysis, dynamic support and resistance levels, and trend detection into a single, easy-to-use indicator.
How It Works
The ATR Volatility and Trend Analysis indicator is built upon the core concept of the ATR, a classic measure of market volatility. It expands on this by providing several key features:
Dynamic ATR Bands: The indicator plots three sets of upper and lower bands around the price. These bands are calculated by multiplying the current ATR value by user-defined multipliers. They act as dynamic support and resistance levels, widening during volatile periods and contracting during calm markets.
Volatility Breakout Signals: Identify potential breakouts with precision. The indicator generates a signal when the current ATR value surges above its own moving average by a specified threshold, indicating a significant increase in volatility that could lead to a strong price move.
Trend Detection: The indicator determines the market trend by analyzing both price action and ATR behavior. A bullish trend is signaled when the price is above its moving average and volatility is increasing. Conversely, a bearish trend is signaled when the price is below its moving average and volatility is increasing.
How to Use the ATR Multi-Band Indicator
Identify Support and Resistance: Use the ATR bands as key levels. Price approaching the outer bands may indicate overbought or oversold conditions, while a break of the bands can signal a strong continuation.
Confirm Breakouts: Look for a volatility breakout signal to confirm the strength behind a price move. A breakout from a consolidation range accompanied by a volatility signal is a strong indicator of a new trend.
Trade with the Trend: Use the background coloring and trend signals to align your trades with the dominant market direction. Enter long positions during confirmed bullish trends and short positions during bearish trends.
Set Up Alerts: The indicator includes alerts for band crosses, trend changes, and volatility breakouts, ensuring you never miss a potential trading opportunity.
What makes it different?
While many indicators use ATR, the ATR Volatility and Trend Analysis tool is unique in its integration of multiple ATR-based concepts into a single, cohesive system. It doesn't just show volatility; it interprets it in the context of price action to deliver actionable trend and breakout signals, making it a complete solution for ATR-based analysis.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and traders should thoroughly test any strategy before implementing it with real capital.
BTC Evaluation IndicatorBTC Evaluation Indicator
The BTC Evaluation Indicator is a volatility-based tool designed to help traders evaluate Bitcoin’s price behavior relative to its moving average trend. It combines customizable moving averages with dynamic standard deviation bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Key Features
Flexible Moving Averages: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, or RMA for the baseline trend.
Dynamic Volatility Bands: Upper and lower bands are calculated using standard deviation, scaled by a user-defined multiplier.
Visual Clarity:
Orange line = central moving average (trend mean)
Green line = upper band (potential overbought zone)
Red line = lower band (potential oversold zone)
Shaded gray area = volatility range
Automatic Highlights: Background shading marks when price breaks above the upper band (overbought) or below the lower band (oversold).
How to Use
When price pushes above the upper band, it may indicate overextension or potential local overbought conditions.
When price falls below the lower band, it may signal undervaluation or potential oversold conditions.
The mean line acts as a dynamic equilibrium, often serving as short-term support/resistance.
This indicator is designed for Bitcoin evaluation, but it can be applied to any asset. By combining trend analysis with volatility context, it helps traders better understand when price may be stretched and when conditions are reverting to the mean.

Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman) is a precision-engineered trend-following system that visualizes discrete trend progression using volatility-scaled step logic. It replaces traditional slope-based tracking with clearly defined “trend steps,” capturing directional momentum only when price action decisively confirms a shift through an ATR-based trigger.
This tool is ideal for traders who prefer structured, stair-step progression over fluid curves, and value the clarity of momentum-based bands that reveal breakout conviction, pullback retests, and consolidation zones. The channel width adapts automatically to market volatility, while the step logic filters out noise and false flips.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
This indicator is built on a core market structure observation:
After each strong trend impulse, the market typically enters a “cooling-off” phase as profit-taking occurs and counter-trend participants enter. This often results in a shallow pullback or stall, creating a slight negative slope in an uptrend (or a positive slope in a downtrend).
These “cooling-off” phases don’t reverse the trend — they signal temporary pressure before the next leg continues. By tracking trend steps discretely and filtering for this behavior, Trend Impulse Channels helps traders align with the rhythm of impulse → pause → impulse.
█ How It Works
⚪ Step-Based Trend Engine
At the heart of this tool is a dynamic step engine that progresses only when price crosses a predefined ATR-scaled trigger level:
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) – Defines how far price must break beyond the current trend state to register a new trend step.
Step Size (Volatility-Guided) – Each trend continuation moves the trend line in discrete units, scaling with ATR and trend persistence.
Trend Direction State – Maintains a +1/-1 internal bias to support directional filters and step tracking.
⚪ Volatility-Adaptive Channel
Each step is wrapped inside a dynamic envelope scaled to current volatility:
Upper and Lower Bands – Derived from ATR and band multipliers to expand/contract as volatility changes.
⚪ Retest Signal System
Optional signal markers show when price re-tests the upper or lower band:
Upper Retest → Pullback into resistance during a bearish trend.
Lower Retest → Pullback into support during a bullish trend.
⚪ Trend Step Signals
Circular markers can be shown to mark each time the trend steps forward, making it easy to identify structurally significant moments of continuation within a larger trend.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Alignment
Use the Trend Line and Step Markers to visually confirm the direction of momentum. If multiple trend steps occur in sequence without reversal, this typically signals strong conviction and trend persistence.
⚪ Retest-Based Entries
Wait for pullbacks into the channel and monitor for triangle retest signals. When used in confluence with trend direction, these offer high-quality continuation setups.
⚪ Breakouts
Look for breakouts beyond the upper or lower band after a longer period of pause. For higher likelihood of success, look for breakouts in the direction of the trend.
█ Settings
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) - Defines how far price must move to register a new trend step. Controls sensitivity to trend flips.
Max Step Size (× ATR) - Caps how far each trend step can extend. Prevents runaway step expansion in high volatility.
Band Multiplier (× ATR) - Expands the upper and lower channels. Controls how much breathing room the bands allow.
Trend Hold (bars) - Minimum number of bars the trend must remain active before allowing a flip. Helps reduce noise.
Filter by Trend - Restrict retest signals to those aligned with the current trend direction.

Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves - Tr33man Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves
Overview 🤷♂️
The Daily ATR Bonanza script is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders visualize and understand potential price movements using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides daily and weekly ATR levels, historical statistics, and conditional probability analysis to give traders actionable insights. The script also plots the daily Keltner channel. This script is ideal for traders who want to gauge volatility, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions.
b]Key Features:
📈 1. Daily and Weekly ATR Levels
🔵ATR Levels: The script calculates and displays ATR-based levels for the day and week. These levels are derived from the previous day's or week's close price and are adjusted using customizable multipliers (0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x by default).
🔵You can choose the number of ATR levels (1, 2, or 3) and adjust the multipliers to suit your trading strategy.
🌐 2. ATR Bands (Keltner Channels)
🔵The script includes an option to display ATR Bands, which are volatility-based envelopes around a moving average. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
🔵You can adjust the ATR multiplier and the length of the moving average used for the bands.
🧮 3. Historical Statistics and Conditional Probability
🔵 Historical Analysis: The script analyzes historical price movements to calculate the likelihood of closing at certain ATR levels.
🔵 Conditional Probability: This feature shows the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels given the current market conditions. The conditional matches historical data by an open in the same opening ATR bucket, as well as the current price bucket having been visited in the historical case. Conditional probabilities are just statistics, and do not predict anything.
Data Table: 📚
🔵 Historical Close Probability: The percentage of days the price closed within each ATR level.
🔵 Conditional Close Probability: The likelihood of the price closing within each ATR level today.
❓ What is Conditional Probability? ❓
Conditional probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. In this script, it is used to determine the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels based on the current opening range as well as current ATR distance from the previous close.
For example:
If the market opens near the lower end of the first ATR level, the script calculates the likelihood of the price reaching the upper end of the first, second, or third ATR level.
This analysis is based on historical data, making it a powerful tool for understanding potential price movements.
🌟 Understanding the Levels
🔵Daily Levels: These are based on the previous day's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new day.
🔵Weekly Levels: These are based on the previous week's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new week.
🔵ATR Bands: These are dynamic levels that adjust with market volatility.
🔬 Analyze the Statistics (Daily only for now, no weekly yet)
🔵Use the interactive table to understand historical probabilities and conditional probabilities.
🔵Focus on the current opening range and the likelihood of reaching specific levels.
🧠 Make Trading Decisions
🔵Use the ATR levels and bands to identify key support and resistance levels.

🔵Adjust your strategy based on the historical performance of the market.
Example Use Cases
1. Day Trading
Use the daily ATR levels to set intraday targets and stop-loss levels.
Monitor the conditional probability table to adjust your expectations based on the opening range.
2. Swing Trading
Use the weekly ATR levels to identify longer-term support and resistance levels.
3. Scalping
Use the ATR bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Use the conditional probability table to quickly assess the likelihood of price movements.
Fib BB on VWMA*ATRThis TradingView Pine Script is designed to plot Fibonacci Bollinger Bands on a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) using the Average True Range (ATR). The script takes a higher timeframe (HTF) approach, allowing traders to analyze price action and volatility from a broader market perspective.
🔹 How It Works
Higher Timeframe Data Integration
Users can select a specific timeframe to calculate the VWMA and ATR.
This allows for a more macro perspective, avoiding the noise of lower timeframes.
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Unlike the Simple Moving Average (SMA), VWMA gives higher weight to price movements with larger volume.
Calculation Formula:
𝑉𝑊𝑀𝐴=∑(𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒×𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒) / ∑𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
Since VWMA accounts for volume, it is more reactive to price zones with high buying or selling activity, making it useful for identifying liquidity zones.
ATR-Based Fibonacci Bollinger Bands
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility.
Instead of standard deviation-based Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci multipliers (2.618, 3.0, 3.414) are applied to ATR.
These bands adjust dynamically with market volatility.
🔹 Key Findings from Exploration
Through testing and analysis, this indicator seems to effectively detect supply and demand zones, particularly at the Fibonacci levels of 2.618 to 3.414.
Price frequently reacts at these bands, indicating that they capture key liquidity zones.
Potential Order Block Detection:
The ends of the Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (especially at 2.618, 3.0, and 3.414) tend to align with order blocks—areas where institutional traders previously accumulated or distributed positions.
This is particularly useful for order flow traders who focus on unfilled institutional orders.
🔹 How to Use This Indicator?
Identifying Order Blocks
When price reaches the upper or lower bands, check if there was a strong reaction (rejection or consolidation).
If price rapidly moves away from a band, that level might be an order block.
Spotting Liquidity Pools
VWMA’s nature enhances liquidity detection since it emphasizes high-volume price action.
If a price level repeatedly touches the band without breaking through, it suggests institutional orders may be absorbing liquidity there.
Trend Confirmation
If VWMA is trending upwards and price keeps rejecting the lower bands, it confirms a strong bullish trend.
Conversely, constant rejection from the upper bands suggests a bearish market.
This script is designed for open-source publication and offers traders a refined approach to detecting order blocks and liquidity zones using Fibonacci-based volatility bands.

이를 통해 더 큰 시장 흐름을 분석할 수 있으며, 저타임프레임의 노이즈를 줄일 수 있습니다.
거래량 가중 이동평균(VWMA) 적용
VWMA는 단순 이동평균(SMA)보다 거래량이 많은 가격 움직임에 더 큰 가중치를 부여합니다.
계산 공식:
𝑉𝑊𝑀𝐴=∑(𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒×𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒) / ∑𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
거래량이 많이 발생한 가격 구간을 강조하는 특성이 있어, 시장의 유동성 구간을 더 정확히 포착할 수 있습니다.
ATR 기반 피보나치 볼린저 밴드 생성
ATR(Average True Range)를 활용하여 변동성을 측정합니다.
기존의 표준편차 기반 볼린저 밴드 대신, 피보나치 계수(2.618, 3.0, 3.414)를 ATR에 곱하여 밴드를 생성합니다.
이 밴드는 시장 변동성에 따라 유동적으로 조정됩니다.
🔹 탐구 결과: 매물대 및 오더블록 감지
테스트를 통해 Fibonacci 2.618 ~ 3.414 구간에서 매물대 및 오더블록을 포착하는 경향이 있음을 확인했습니다.
가격이 피보나치 밴드(특히 2.618, 3.0, 3.414)에 닿을 때 반응하는 경우가 많음
VWMA의 특성을 통해 오더블록을 감지할 가능성이 높음
🔹 오더블록(Order Block) 감지 원리
Fibonacci 밴드 끄트머리(2.618 ~ 3.414)에서 가격이 강하게 반응
이 영역에서 가격이 강하게 튀어 오르거나(매수 압력) 급락하는(매도 압력) 경우,
→ 기관들이 포지션을 청산하거나 추가 매집하는 구간일 가능성이 큼.
과거에 대량 주문이 체결된 가격 구간(= 오더블록)일 수 있음.
VWMA를 통한 유동성 감지
VWMA는 거래량이 집중된 가격을 기준으로 이동하기 때문에, 기관 주문이 많이 들어온 가격대를 강조하는 특징이 있음.
따라서 VWMA와 피보나치 밴드가 만나는 지점은 유동성이 높은 핵심 구간이 될 가능성이 큼.
매물대 및 청산 구간 분석
가격이 밴드에 도달했을 때 강한 반등이 나오는지를 확인 → 오더블록 가능성
가격이 밴드를 여러 번 테스트하면서 돌파하지 못한다면, 해당 지점은 강한 매물대일 가능성
🔹 활용 방법
✅ 오더블록 감지:
가격이 밴드(2.618~3.414)에 닿고 강하게 튕긴다면, 오더블록 가능성
해당 지점에서 거래량 증가 및 강한 반등 발생 시 매수 고려
✅ 유동성 풀 확인:
VWMA와 피보나치 밴드가 만나는 구간에서 반복적으로 거래량이 터진다면, 해당 지점은 기관 유동성 구간일 가능성
✅ 추세 확인:
VWMA가 상승하고 가격이 밴드 하단(지지선)에서 튕긴다면 강한 상승 추세
VWMA가 하락하고 가격이 밴드 상단(저항선)에서 거부당하면 하락 추세 지속
BB ATR Fractal MMThe Bollinger Bands + ATR with Fractal indicator is a powerful combination of Bollinger Bands, ATR (Average True Range), and Fractal to help identify market volatility and potential entry/exit points on the chart.
Bollinger Bands help to assess the market’s volatility by calculating upper and lower bands based on the simple moving average (SMA) and standard deviation. It’s an excellent tool for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
ATR (Average True Range) is used to measure market volatility. It helps determine how much the price is moving, and it can be used to adjust the Bollinger Bands, creating bands that reflect the current volatility more accurately.
Fractal helps to identify peaks and troughs in the market, supporting decision-making by highlighting potential reversal points. Fractals mark regions where price may reverse direction, making it easier to spot possible trade opportunities.
How to Use:
Bollinger Bands Upper and Lower Bands: These bands help to identify overbought or oversold conditions. If the price breaks above the upper band, the market may be overbought. If the price breaks below the lower band, the market may be oversold.
ATR: It indicates the volatility level of the market. When the market shows large volatility (ATR increases), the Bollinger Bands expand to reflect higher price swings.
Fractal: Arrows appear at the market’s peaks and troughs, helping identify entry points for buying (at fractal lows) or selling (at fractal highs). These signals can help you make trading decisions based on potential price reversals.

300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
LRSI-TTM Squeeze - AynetThis Pine Script code creates an indicator called LRSI-TTM Squeeze , which combines two key concepts to analyze momentum, squeeze conditions, and price movements in the market:
Laguerre RSI (LaRSI): A modified version of RSI used to identify trend reversals in price movements.
TTM Squeeze: Identifies market compressions (low volatility) and potential breakouts from these squeezes.
Functionality and Workflow of the Code
1. Laguerre RSI (LaRSI)
Purpose:
Provides a smoother and less noisy version of RSI to track price movements.
Calculation:
The script uses a filtering coefficient (alpha) to process price data through four levels (L0, L1, L2, L3).
Movement differences between these levels calculate buying pressure (cu) and selling pressure (cd).
The ratio of these pressures forms the Laguerre RSI:
bash
Kodu kopyala
LaRSI = cu / (cu + cd)
The LaRSI value indicates:
Below 20: Oversold condition (potential buy signal).
Above 80: Overbought condition (potential sell signal).
2. TTM Squeeze
Purpose:
Analyzes the relationship between Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to determine whether the market is compressed (low volatility) or expanded (high volatility).
Calculation:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated based on the moving average (SMA) of the price, with an upper and lower band.
Keltner Channels:
Created using the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate an upper and lower band.
Squeeze States:
Squeeze On: BB is within KC.
Squeeze Off: BB is outside KC.
Other States (No Squeeze): Neither of the above applies.
3. Momentum Calculation
Momentum is computed using the linear regression of the difference between the price and its SMA. This helps anticipate the direction and strength of price movements when the squeeze ends.
Visuals on the Chart
Laguerre RSI Line:
An RSI indicator scaled to 0-100 is plotted.
The line's color changes based on its movement:
Green line: RSI is rising.
Red line: RSI is falling.
Key levels:
20 level: Oversold condition (buy signal can be triggered).
80 level: Overbought condition (sell signal can be triggered).
Momentum Histogram:
Displays momentum as histogram bars with colors based on its direction and strength:
Lime (light green): Positive momentum increasing.
Green: Positive momentum decreasing.
Red: Negative momentum decreasing.
Maroon (dark red): Negative momentum increasing.
Squeeze Status Indicator:
A marker is plotted on the zero line to indicate the squeeze state:
Yellow: Squeeze On (compression active).
Blue: Squeeze Off (compression ended, movement expected).
Gray: No Squeeze.
Information Table
A table is displayed in the top-right corner of the chart, showing closing prices for different timeframes (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, etc.). Each timeframe is color-coded.
Alerts
LaRSI Alerts:
Crosses above 20: Exiting oversold condition (buy signal).
Crosses below 80: Exiting overbought condition (sell signal).
Squeeze Alerts:
When the squeeze ends: Indicates a potential price move.
When the squeeze starts: Indicates volatility is decreasing.
Summary
This indicator is a powerful tool for determining market trends, momentum, and squeeze conditions. It helps users identify periods when the market is likely to move or remain stagnant, providing alerts based on these analyses to support trading strategies.

Short Trades: Opened when a sell signal flashes. If there’s an open long position, it is closed before opening a short.
The strategy also ensures a minimum number of bars between consecutive trades to avoid rapid trading in choppy conditions.
Pyramiding Support:
Up to 3 consecutive trades in the same direction are allowed, enabling traders to scale into positions based on strong signals.
Visual Indicators:
RSI Levels: Dotted lines at 45 and 55 for quick reference to oversold and overbought levels.
Buy and Sell Signals: Visual markers on the chart indicate where trades are executed, ensuring clarity on entry and exit points.
Best Used For:
Swing Trading & Scalping: While optimized for the 15-minute timeframe, this strategy works across various timeframes, making it suitable for both short-term scalping and swing trading.
Crypto Trading: Tailored for Ethereum but effective for other cryptocurrencies due to its dynamic indicator setup.
