Volume Support/ResistanceAn Indicator which shows the potential resistance/support level at K bar with significant trading volume.
The logic is stated below:
(current K-bar volume - the past average trading volume of 48 Ks) > 4 *standard deviation of trading volume
When this condition is met, it is considered that the trading volume is particularly enlarged, which may be an area where support pressure is possible
If the K is an ascending K-bar, then draw support at the lowest point; if the K is a descending K-bar, draw resistance at the highest point.
You can change the length and the number the standard deviation in the input section.

Support and Resistance LevelsDetecting Support and Resistance Levels
Description:
Support & Resistance levels are essential for every trader to define the decision points of the markets. If you are long and the market falls below the previous support level, you most probably have got the wrong position and better exit.
This script uses the first and second deviation of a curve to find the turning points and extremes of the price curve.
The deviation of a curve is nothing else than the momentum of a curve (and inertia is another name for momentum). It defines the slope of the curve. If the slope of a curve is zero, you have found a local extreme. The curve will change from rising to falling or the other way round.
The second deviation, or the momentum of momentum, shows you the turning points of the first deviation. This is important, as at this point the original curve will switch from acceleration to break mode.
Using the logic laid out above the support&resistance indicator will show the turning points of the market in a timely manner. Depending on level of market-smoothing it will show the long term or short term turning points.
This script first calculates the first and second deviation of the smoothed market, and in a second step runs the turning point detection.

Support and Resistance StrategySupport and resistance Strategy (FX and Crypto)
Description: This strategy uses “support” S and “resistance” R levels, which can be computed
using the “pivot point” (a.k.a. the “center”) C as follows:
C = (PH + PL + PC) / 3
R = 2 × C - PL
S = 2 × C - PH
Here PH, PL and PC are the previous day’s high, low and closing prices.
One way to define a trading signal is as follows (as above, P is the current price):
Signal:
Establish long position if P > C
Liquidate long position if P ≥ R
Establish short position if P < C
Liquidate short position if P ≤ S
Other definitions of the pivot point (e.g., using the current trading day’s open price) and
higher/lower support/resistance levels exist.

Pivot Support and Resistance Finder [JV] V1Hi Traders.
This is my first attempt of writing an indicator.
Let me start by saying I could never have done this without lmatl and WMX_Q_System_Trading who were and are an incredible source of inspiration.
This indicator shows horizontal Pivot Support and Resistance . It draws up to 4 horizontal lines extending to the right from and adds labels to High and Low Pivot Candles . It also draws the Support / Resistance that is currently forming.
You can select the number of lines on the current timeframe.
There are some options in Settings:
Current timeframe pivot settings
Show and hide levels of the current timeframe
Change colors
Extend Lines
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
I also welcome donations, no matter how small ;-)
Attrition Scalper v1.0A weird indicator to catch tops/bottoms and scalp with the signals. You should buy/sell with the signals but you should also analyze the chart manually before jumping straight into the trade. One of the most important thing is the middle VIDYA line. It is a very strong support/resistance and if you've taken a long/short from top/bottom, you might want to target there to exit as the indicator will not give you a sell signal there probably.
You should also after trying the indicator for a bit. Make a proper SL/TP strategy for it.
By default the indicator will only load with charts up to 30 minute frame. If you want to load on higher timeframe charts you have to increase the Timeframe to Lookback and the Timeframe options in it's settings.
I really recommend lower timeframes though, the default settings with 5 minute chart is most likely the best.
Each of the lines you see are pretty strong support/resistance and pivot points . So if you've taken an entry for a quick scalp you should most likely start partially closing the position on each line.
I wouldn't really recommend a tight stop as we're most likely entering at or near the bottom and the price really can't stay that overextended unless it's a major/flash dump, at that point no indicator is safe anyways. So finding the sweet spot is up to you.
If more lines are on top of each other, be careful of that spot too as it's a great confluence of support/resistance . For example if the top VIDYA line is near the upper purple 4.236 line. That is a major resistance and if price is above it, it will almost certainly test it back or fall back inside the channel.
Another strategy is to not use the buy/sell signals but use the channel/lines yourself on higher timeframe for swing trading or just putting orders at the other extreme ends/lines in the channel to catch a nice entry in flash/major dumps/pumps.
Price will most likely retrace to the middle VIDYA line after touching or overextending from the top VIDYA and upper purple 4.236 line. Same also applies for the opposite side too. Any close above/below the VIDYA might mean continuation but that's better seen and confirmed on much higher timeframes, not 5 minutes probably.
Special thanks to: www.tradingview.com i got inspired from some of his indicators and even used some snippets of code which he allowed me to do.
In the near future i'm thinking of implementing new logic with Weis Waves and few other indicators to increase the signal count as i think it's currently very low. But overtrading might be bad anyways.
Dual SuperTrend, Ichimoku and DMI Color Weighted by DGTThis study interprets SuperTrend with Ichimoku Cloud, one of the popular technical analysis indicator, and interprets Directional Movement (DMI), which is another quite valuable technical analysis indicator.
Then combines the interpreted SuperTrend with interpreted Directional Movement (DMI) and Volume Based Colored Bars indicator created by Kıvaç ÖZBİLGİÇ (permission has been granted from the author)
Here are details of the concept applied
1- SuperTrend Line colored based on Ichimoku Cloud
Definition
The Ichimoku Cloud, developed by Goichi Hosoda and published in the late 1960s, is a collection of technical indicators that give it a unique capacity to show support and resistance levels, momentum and trend direction
What Does the Ichimoku Cloud Tells?
The overall trend is up when price is above the cloud, known as Kumo Cloud, down when price is below the Kumo Cloud, and trendless or transitioning when price is in the Kumo Cloud
When Senkou Span A (Leading Span A) is rising and above Senkou Span B (Leading Span B), this helps confirm the uptrend and space between the lines is typically colored green. When Senkou Span A is falling and below Senkou Span B, this helps confirm the downtrend. The space between the lines is typically colored red
Traders often use the Kumo Cloud as an area of support and resistance depending on the relative location of the price. The Kumo Cloud provides support/resistance levels that can be projected into the future. This sets the Ichimoku Cloud apart from many other technical indicators that only provide support and resistance levels for the current date and time
Crossovers, also known as TK Cross among Ichimoku Cloud traders, are another way the indicator can be used. Watch for the Tenkan-Sen Line, or Conversion Line, to move above the Kijun-Sen Line, or Base Line, especially when price is above the Kumo cloud. This can be a powerful buy signal. One option is to hold the trade until the Tenkan-Sen drops back below the Kijun-Sen Line. Any of the other lines could be used as exit points as well.
With this study:
Allow Traders to use the Ichimoku Cloud in conjunction with other technical indicators to maximize their risk-adjusted returns
The Ichimoku Cloud can make a chart look busy with all the lines. To Remedy this a different approach is applied in this study showing the Price and the Kumo Cloud relation as well as TK Crosses displayed. The SuperTrend Indicator is chosen to display Ichimoku Indicator, where the SuperTrend is another trend following indicator.
How it works:
SuperTrend Line is colored as:
Green when the Price is above the Kumo Cloud
Red when the Price is below the Kumo Cloud
Black when the Price is within the Kumo Cloud
And Finally Blue when the Kumo Cloud Is not ready to be drawn or not Kumo Cloud available
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by values of Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen Line, which allows us to detect TK Crosses
2- Plots Colored Directional Movement Line
Definition
Directional Movement (DMI) (created by J. Welles Wilder ) is actually a collection of three separate indicators combined into one. Directional Movement consists of the Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+D I) and Minus Directional Indicator (-D I) . ADX's purposes is to define whether or not there is a trend present. It does not take direction into account at all. The other two indicators (+DI and -DI) are used to compliment the ADX. They serve the purpose of determining trend direction. By combining all three, a technical analyst has a way of determining and measuring a trend's strength as well as its direction.
This study combines all three lines in a single colored shapes series plotted on the top of the price chart indicating the trend strength with different colors and its direction with triangle up and down shapes.
What to look for
Trend Strength : Analyzing trend strength is the most basic use for the DMI. Wilder believed that a DMI reading above 25 indicated a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicated a weak or non-existent trend
Crosses : DI Crossovers are the significant trading signal generated by the DMI
With this study
A Strong Trend is assumed when ADX >= 25
Bullish Trend is defined as (+D I > -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as green triangle up shape on top of the price chart
Bearish Trend is defined as (+D I < -DI ) and (ADX >= 25), which is plotted as red triangle down shape on top of the price chart
Week Trend is assumed when 17< ADX < 25, which is plotted as black triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Non-Existent Trend is assumed when ADX < 17, which is plotted as yellow triangles up or down shape, depending on +DI-DI values, on top of the price chart
Additionally intensity of the colors used in all cases above are defined by comparing ADX’s current value with its previous value
3- Volume Based Colored Bars indicator created by Kıvaç ÖZBİLGİÇ
Volume Based Colored Bars colors the bars into volume weighted signals increasing the visibility of the Volume changes. Intensity of the colors of the bars varies according to average value of the volume for given length of bars (default value set to 30 bars)

Storm Trading System This script is inspired by the following :
Fractal Dow RSI Support and Resistance ;
Moving Average Clouds ;
Let's start.
This command is based on a fun description of where we are.
Technical analysis methods are likened to a storm.
Clouds as moving average,risk factor as lightning,
fractals were taken as green and red rain.
In this system:
4 Exponential Moving Averages, ( EMA15, EMA30 , EMA45 , EMA60 ),
interpretation of my own work, Dow Factor RSI, as Fractal Support and Resistance,
interpretation of my own work , DVOG Risk Factor : with changeable background and bar color.
Fractal support resistance level codes do not belong to me.
So I'm not putting a license.
But the other codes are my labor.
Consider the risk factor not as a stop, but as a region of high attention.
It is a warning before hard movements.
And watch out for turbulence in the clouds :)
The regions above and below the clouds are major trend zones, which may take a long time.
Guide the fractals in these areas.
It allows you to comment on this and tons of similar things.
And you see where you are in the big trade from a different perspective.

Firstly our source is close . Repaint will only cause the following issue and solution:
There may be a time difference between countries as the dow factor depends on the indexes.

Volume Profile Free Pro (25 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free Pro by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free Pro versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 25 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are 3 basic methods to calculate the Value Area for a session.
- original method developed by Steidlmayr (calculated around POC)
- classical method using StdDev (calculated around the mean VWAP)
- another method based on the mean absolute deviation (calculated around the median)
POC is a high volume node and can be used as support/resistance. But when far from the day's average price it may not be as good a trend filter as the other methods.
The 80% Rule: When the market opens above/below the Value Area and then returns/stays back inside for 2 consecutive 30min periods it has 80% chance of filling VA (like a gap).
There are several versions: Free, Free Pro, Free MAX. This is the Free Pro version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free: 30 levels, Buy/Sell/Total Volume Profile views, POC
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX: 50 levels, packed to the limit
Features:
- Volume Profile with up to 25 levels (3 implementations)
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side View modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level for a range (required in ver 1.0/2.0, auto/optional in ver 3.0 = set to highest/lowest)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select mode Value Area or VWAP to show corresponding levels.
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels, adjust width and spacing as needed
- select Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side view mode
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
- Green - buy volume of a specific price level in a range, Red - sell volume. Green + Red = Total volume of a price level in a range
There's no native support for vertical histograms in Pinescript (with price axis as base)
Basically, there are 4 ways to plot a series of horizontal bars stacked on top of each other:
1. plotshape style labeldown (ver 0 prototype discarded)
- you can have a set of fixed width/height text labels consisting of a series of underscores and moving dynamically as levels. Level offset controls visible length.
- you can move levels and scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- you can't fill the gaps between levels/adjust/extend width, height - this results in a half baked volume profile and looks ugly
- fixed text level height doesn't adjust and looks bad on a log scale
- fixed font width also doesn't scale and can't be properly aligned with bars when zooming
2. plot style columns + hist_base (ver 1.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small adjacent vertical columns with level offsets controlling visible length.
- you can't hide/move levels of the volume profile histogram dynamically on each bar, they must be plotted at all times regardless - you can't delete the history of a plot.
- you can't scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically, can't set show_last from input, must use a preset fixed width for each level
- hist_base can only be a static const expression, can't be assigned highest/lowest range values automatically - you have to specify max_level/min_level manually from input
- you can't control spacing between columns - there's an equalizer bar effect when you zoom in, and solid bars when you zoom out
- using hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- level top can be properly aligned with another level's bottom producing a clean good looking histogram
- columns are properly aligned with bars automatically
3. plot style histogram + hist_base (ver 2.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small vertical bars (horizontal histogram) instead of columns.
- you can control the width of each histogram bar comprising a level (spacing/horiz density). Large enough width will cause bar overlapping and give level a "solid" look regardless of zoom
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style - custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
- this method still uses hist_base and inherits other limitations of ver 2.0
4. plot style lines (ver 3.0)
- you can also plot long horizontal bars using lines with level offsets controlling visible length.
- lines don't need hist_base - fast and smooth redraw times
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- level top can't be properly aligned with another level's bottom and have a proper spacing because line width uses its own units and doesn't scale
- fixed line width of a level (vertical thickness) doesn't scale and looks bad on log (level overlapping)
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style, a custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
Notes:
- hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- indicator is slow on TFs with long history 10000+ bars
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed width. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Widh for levels - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs exceeding max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- Use Side by Side view to compare buy and sell volumes between each other: base width = max(total_buy_vol, total_sell_vol)
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell on top of buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- If you see "loop too long error" - change some values in UI and it will recalculate - no need to refresh the chart
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
- Volume Profile Range is limited to 5000 bars for free accounts

Support & Resistance LevelsBasic Visualisation of key support and resistance levels.
This script works best on periods of 15minutes or greater.
The strength of the support/resistance are shown through line thickness, and support levels are shown as green and resistance levels red.
Indicator: Relative Volume Indicator & Freedom Of MovementRelative Volume Indicator
------------------------------
RVI is a support-resistance technical indicator developed by Melvin E. Dickover. Unlike many conventional support and resistance indicators, the Relative Volume Indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect the supply and demand pools. These pools are marked by "Defended Price Lines" (DPLs), also introduced by the author.
RVI is usually plotted as a histogram; its bars are highlighted (black, by default) when the volume is unusually large. According to the author, this happens if the indicator value exceeds 2.0, thus signifying that a possible DPL is present.
DPLs are horizontal lines that run across the chart at levels defined by following conditions:
* Overlapping bars: If the indicator spike (i.e., indicator is above 2.0 or a custom value)
corresponds to a price bar overlapping the previous one, the previous close can be used as the
DPL value.
* Very large bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar of a large size, use its
close price as the DPL value.
* Gapping bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar gapping from the previous bar,
the DPL value will depend on the gap size. Small gaps can be ignored: the author suggests using
the previous close as the DPL value. When the gap is big, the close of the latter bar is used
instead.
* Clustering spikes: If the indicator spikes come in clusters, use the extreme close or open
price of the bar corresponding to the last or next to last spike in cluster.
DPLs can be used as support and resistance levels. In order confirm and refine them, RVI is used along with the FreedomOfMovement indicator discussed next.
Freedom of Movement Indicator
------------------------------
FOM is a support-resistance technical indicator, also by Melvin E. Dickover. FOM is the ratio of relative effect (relative price change) to the relative effort (normalized volume), expressed in standard deviations. This value is plotted as a histogram; its bars are highlighted (black, by default( when this ratio is unusually high. These highlighted bars, or "spikes", define the positioning of the DPLs.
Suggestions for placing DPLs are the same as for the Relative Volume Indicator discussed above.
Note that clustering spikes provide the strongest DPLs while isolated spikes can be used to confirm and refine those provided by the Relative Volume Indicator. Coincidence of spikes of the two indicator can be considered a sign of greater strength of the DPL.

EMA Trend Band with Buy/Sell Signals
## What This Indicator Does
The **EMA Trend Band with Buy/Sell Signals** is a powerful visual trend-following indicator that combines two exponential moving averages (30-period fast EMA and 40-period slow EMA) to identify market direction and generate clear trading signals.
### Core Components
**Dual EMA System**: The indicator uses a fast EMA (30) and slow EMA (40) to track short-term and long-term price momentum simultaneously. The fast EMA reacts quickly to price changes, while the slow EMA filters out market noise and confirms the overall trend
**Color-Coded Trend Band**: Both EMAs change color dynamically based on trend direction - blue when bullish (fast EMA above slow EMA) and pink when bearish (fast EMA below slow EMA). The filled area between the two EMAs creates a visual "trend channel" that makes it easy to identify market direction at a glance.
**Buy/Sell Signal Generation**: When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, a BUY signal appears with a blue label and small triangle marker. When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, a SELL signal appears with a red label and triangle marker.
**Background Highlighting**: The chart background has a subtle blue or red tint matching the current trend, providing additional visual confirmation.
**Built-in Alerts**: Three alert conditions notify you of buy signals, sell signals, or any crossover event, allowing you to monitor multiple charts without watching them constantly.
## How to Use This Indicator Effectively
### Entry Rules
**Long (Buy) Entry**: Enter a long position when you see the blue BUY label appear below a candle, which occurs when the 30 EMA crosses above the 40 EMA. Confirm the signal by ensuring the price is above both EMAs and the trend band has turned blue.
**Short (Sell) Entry**: Enter a short position when you see the red SELL label appear above a candle, which occurs when the 30 EMA crosses below the 40EMA. Confirm the signal by ensuring the price is below both EMAs and the trend band has turned pink.
**Additional Confirmation**: For higher probability trades, wait for the price to close above/below both EMAs before entering, rather than entering on the crossover candle itself. This reduces false signals in choppy markets.
### Trade Management
**Trend Following**: Once in a trade, stay in the position as long as the EMAs maintain their color (blue for longs, pink for shorts). The filled band acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
**Exit Strategy**: Exit your long position when the EMAs turn pink (sell signal), or exit your short position when the EMAs turn blue (buy signal). Alternatively, use a trailing stop below/above the fast EMA for tighter risk management.
**Stop Loss Placement**: Place your stop loss below the slow EMA (40) for long positions, or above the slow EMA for short positions. This gives the trade room to breathe while protecting against major reversals.
### Filtering False Signals
**Avoid Choppy Markets**: The indicator works best in trending markets and can generate false signals during sideways consolidation. When both EMAs are flat and price oscillates between them, stay out of the market.
**Combine with Higher Timeframes**: Check the trend on a higher timeframe before taking signals on lower timeframes. For example, if trading on 15-minute charts, ensure the 1-hour chart shows the same trend direction.
**Volume Confirmation**: Use volume to confirm signal strength - stronger volume on crossover candles typically leads to more reliable trends.
## Best Timeframes for Different Trading Styles
### Scalping (1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts)
**Settings**: Keep default 30/40 EMA or adjust to 20/100 for faster signals
**Best for**: Highly volatile cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH during active trading sessions (morning US/evening Asian overlap)
**Advantages**: Quick signals, multiple trades per day, catches micro-trends
**Disadvantages**: More false signals, requires constant monitoring, high stress
**Recommendation**: Use 5-minute charts with this indicator for crypto scalping - it provides the best balance between signal frequency and reliability.
### Day Trading (15-Minute to 1-Hour Charts)
**Settings**: Default 30/40 works perfectly
**Best for**: Forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), major crypto pairs, index futures
**Advantages**: Fewer false signals than lower timeframes, captures intraday trends, good risk-reward ratios
**Disadvantages**: Requires several hours of monitoring, 2-4 trades per day maximum
**Recommendation**: **15-minute and 1-hour charts are the OPTIMAL timeframes for this indicator**. The 1-hour timeframe provides the best balance of signal accuracy and trade frequency for most traders.
### Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
**Settings**: Default 30/100 or extend to 50/200 for stronger trends
**Best for**: Stocks, crypto spot trading, major forex pairs, commodities
**Advantages**: Highest signal reliability, less screen time, captures major moves, lower stress
**Disadvantages**: Fewer trading opportunities, larger stop losses required, slower signals
**Recommendation**: Use 4-hour charts for active swing trading or daily charts for position trading. The 4-hour timeframe is excellent for cryptocurrency swing trading with this indicator.
## Recommended Best Timeframe Overall
### For Cryptocurrency Trading (Your Primary Interest)
**1-Hour Chart**: This is the BEST all-around timeframe for this EMA band indicator when trading crypto on Binance. It provides:
- 2-5 quality signals per week per pair
- Strong trend filtering with minimal false signals
- Manageable stop losses (typically 1-2% of position)
- Good risk-reward ratios (2:1 to 4:1 average)
- Reasonable monitoring requirements (check every few hours)
**Alternative for Active Trading**: 15-minute charts if you want more frequent signals and can monitor markets actively during your trading sessions.
### For Forex Trading
**1-Hour Chart**: Also optimal for EUR/USD and other major pairs during London/New York sessions
### For Stocks
**Daily Chart**: Best for swing trading individual stocks with this indicator
## Pro Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
**Multiple Timeframe Confirmation**: Before taking a 15-minute signal, check that the 1-hour trend band shows the same color. This dramatically increases win rate.
**Trade in the Direction of the Larger Trend**: Use daily charts to identify the major trend, then take only signals in that direction on lower timeframes.
**Avoid Trading During Major News Events**: EMAs can give false signals during high-impact economic announcements as price whipsaws.
**Use with Support/Resistance**: Combine EMA crossovers with key support and resistance levels for high-probability setups.
**Paper Trade First**: Test this indicator on a demo account for at least 20-30 trades before risking real money to understand its behavior on your preferred timeframe and instruments.
RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Strategy 1: Mean Reversion Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Ranging or choppy markets with no clear directional trend
Timeframe: Works best on lower timeframes (5m-1H) or during consolidation phases
Band Characteristic: Normal to narrow band width
Entry Rules:
Long Entry: RSI touches or crosses below lower band, wait for RSI to start rising back toward basis before entry
Short Entry: RSI touches or crosses above upper band, wait for RSI to start falling back toward basis before entry
Confirmation: Use price action confirmation (candlestick reversal patterns) at band touches
Exit Rules:
Target: RSI returns to basis line or opposite band
Stop Loss: Fixed percentage or below recent swing low/high
Time Stop: Exit if position not profitable within expected timeframe
Strategy 2: Trend Continuation Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Clear trending market with higher highs/lower lows
Timeframe: Medium to higher timeframes (1H-Daily)
Band Characteristic: Expanding or wide bands indicating strong momentum
Entry Rules:
Long Entry in Uptrend: Wait for RSI to pull back to basis line or slightly below, enter when RSI starts rising again
Short Entry in Downtrend: Wait for RSI to rally to basis line or slightly above, enter when RSI starts falling again
Avoid Counter-Trend: Do not fade RSI at bands during strong trends (band walk patterns)
Exit Rules:
Trailing Stop: Move stop to break-even when RSI reaches opposite band
Trend Break: Exit when RSI crosses basis against trend direction with conviction
Band Squeeze: Reduce position size when bands start narrowing significantly
Strategy 3: Breakout Preparation
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Consolidating market after significant move or at key technical levels
Timeframe: Any timeframe, but longer timeframes provide more reliable breakouts
Band Characteristic: Narrowest band width in recent 100 bars (squeeze alert)
Preparation Phase:
Identify band squeeze condition (bands at multi-period narrowest point)
Monitor price action for consolidation patterns (triangles, rectangles, flags)
Prepare bracket orders for both directions
Wait for band expansion to begin
Entry Execution:
Breakout Confirmation: Enter in direction of RSI band breakout (RSI breaks above upper band or below lower band)
Price Confirmation: Ensure price also breaks corresponding technical level
Volume Confirmation: Look for volume expansion supporting the breakout
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Place beyond consolidation pattern opposite extreme
Position Sizing: Use smaller size due to false breakout risk
Quick Exit: Exit immediately if RSI returns inside bands within 1-3 bars
Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Timeframe Selection:
Higher Timeframe: Daily or 4H for trend context
Trading Timeframe: 1H or 15m for entry signals
Confirmation Timeframe: 5m or 1m for precise entry timing
Analysis Process:
Trend Identification: Check higher timeframe RSI position relative to bands, trade only in direction of higher timeframe momentum
Setup Formation: Wait for trading timeframe RSI to show pullback to basis in trending direction
Entry Timing: Use confirmation timeframe RSI band touch or crossover for precise entry
Alignment Confirmation: All timeframes should show RSI moving in same direction for highest probability setups
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
RSI Source:
Close (Default): Standard price point, balances responsiveness and reliability
HL2: Reduces noise from intrabar volatility, provides smoother RSI values
HLC3 or OHLC4: Further smoothing for very choppy markets, slower to respond but more stable
Volume-Weighted: Consider using VWAP or volume-weighted prices for additional liquidity context
RSI Length Parameter:
Shorter Periods (5-10): More responsive but generates more signals, suitable for scalping or very active trading, higher noise level
Standard (14): Default and most widely used setting, proven balance between responsiveness and reliability, recommended starting point
Longer Periods (21-30): Smoother momentum measurement, fewer but potentially more reliable signals, better for swing trading or position trading
Optimization Note: Test across different market regimes, optimal length often varies by instrument volatility characteristics
RSI MA Type Parameter:
RMA (Default): Wilder's original smoothing method, provides traditional RSI behavior with balanced lag, most widely recognized and tested, recommended for standard technical analysis
EMA: Exponential smoothing gives more weight to recent values, faster response to momentum changes, suitable for active trading and trending markets, reduces lag compared to RMA
SMA: Simple average treats all periods equally, smoothest output with highest lag, best for filtering noise in choppy markets, useful for long-term position analysis
WMA: Weighted average emphasizes recent data less aggressively than EMA, middle ground between SMA and EMA characteristics, balanced responsiveness for swing trading
Advanced Options: Full access to 25+ moving average types including HMA (reduced lag), DEMA/TEMA (enhanced responsiveness), KAMA/FRAMA (adaptive behavior), T3 (smoothness), Kalman Filter (optimal estimation)
Selection Guide: RMA for traditional analysis and backtesting consistency, EMA for faster signals in trending markets, SMA for stability in ranging markets, adaptive types (KAMA/FRAMA) for varying volatility regimes
BB Length Parameter:
Short Length (10-15): Tighter bands that react quickly to RSI changes, more frequent band touches, suitable for active trading styles
Standard (20): Balanced approach providing meaningful statistical context without excessive lag
Long Length (30-50): Smoother bands that filter minor RSI fluctuations, captures only significant momentum extremes, fewer but higher quality signals
Relationship to RSI Length: Consider BB Length greater than RSI Length for cleaner signals
BB MA Type Parameter:
SMA (Default): Standard Bollinger Bands calculation using simple moving average for basis line, treats all periods equally, widely recognized and tested approach
EMA: Exponential smoothing for basis line gives more weight to recent RSI values, creates more responsive bands that adapt faster to momentum changes, suitable for trending markets
RMA: Wilder's smoothing provides consistent behavior aligned with traditional RSI when using RMA for both RSI and BB calculations
WMA: Weighted average for basis line balances recent emphasis with historical context, middle ground between SMA and EMA responsiveness
Advanced Options: Full access to 25+ moving average types for basis calculation, including HMA (reduced lag), DEMA/TEMA (enhanced responsiveness), KAMA/FRAMA (adaptive to volatility changes)
Selection Guide: SMA for standard Bollinger Bands behavior and backtesting consistency, EMA for faster band adaptation in dynamic markets, matching RSI MA type creates unified smoothing behavior
BB Multiplier Parameter:
Conservative (1.5-1.8): Tighter bands resulting in more frequent touches, useful in low volatility environments, higher signal frequency but potentially more false signals
Standard (2.0): Default setting representing approximately 95% confidence interval under normal distribution, widely accepted statistical threshold
Aggressive (2.5-3.0): Wider bands capturing only extreme momentum conditions, fewer but potentially more significant signals, reduces false signals in high volatility
Adaptive Approach: Consider adjusting multiplier based on instrument characteristics, lower multiplier for stable instruments, higher for volatile instruments
Parameter Optimization Workflow:
Start with default parameters (RSI:14, BB:20, Mult:2.0)
Test across representative sample period including different market regimes
Adjust RSI length based on desired responsiveness vs stability tradeoff
Tune BB length to match your typical holding period
Modify multiplier to achieve desired signal frequency
Validate on out-of-sample data to avoid overfitting
Document optimal parameters for different instruments and timeframes
Reference Levels Display:
Enabled (Default): Shows traditional 30/50/70 levels for comparison with dynamic bands, helps visualize the adaptive advantage
Disabled: Cleaner chart focusing purely on dynamic zones, reduces visual clutter for experienced users
Educational Value: Keeping reference levels visible helps understand how dynamic bands differ from fixed thresholds across varying market conditions
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional RSI:
Fixed Threshold RSI Limitations:
In ranging low-volatility markets: RSI rarely reaches 70/30, missing tradable extremes
In trending high-volatility markets: RSI frequently breaks through 70/30, generating excessive false reversal signals
Across different instruments: Same thresholds applied to volatile crypto and stable forex pairs produce inconsistent results
Threshold Adjustment Problem: Manually changing thresholds for different conditions is subjective and lagging
RSI Bollinger Bands Advantages:
Automatic Adaptation: Bands adjust to current volatility regime without manual intervention
Consistent Logic: Same statistical approach works across different instruments and timeframes
Reduced False Signals: Band width filtering helps distinguish meaningful extremes from noise
Additional Information: Band width provides volatility context missing in standard RSI
Objective Extremes: Statistical basis (standard deviations) provides objective extreme definition
Comparison with Price-Based Bollinger Bands:
Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand the interaction between momentum measurement and statistical volatility bands. The RSI Bollinger Bands has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
No Predictive Guarantee: Past band touches and patterns do not guarantee future price behavior
Market Regime Dependency: Indicator performance varies significantly between trending and ranging market conditions
Complementary Analysis Required: Should be used alongside price action, support/resistance levels, and fundamental analysis
Risk Management Essential: Always use proper position sizing, stop losses, and risk controls regardless of signal quality
Parameter Sensitivity: Different instruments and timeframes may require parameter optimization for optimal results
Continuous Monitoring: Band characteristics change with market conditions, requiring ongoing assessment
Recommended Supporting Analysis:
Price structure analysis (support/resistance, trend lines)
Volume confirmation for breakout signals
Multiple timeframe alignment
Market context awareness (news events, session times)
Correlation analysis with related instruments
The indicator aims to provide adaptive momentum analysis that adjusts to changing market volatility, but traders must apply sound judgment, proper risk management, and comprehensive market analysis in their decision-making process.
SMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG PYSMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG Indicator
Tip: For optimal performance, adjust the number of FVGs displayed per timeframe in the settings. On high-performance devices, up to 8 FVGs per timeframe can be used without issues. If you experience slowdowns, reduce to 3 or 4 FVGs per timeframe. If the chart flashes, disable indicators one by one to identify conflicts, or try using the TradingView Mobile or Windows App for a smoother experience.
Overview
This Pine Script indicator enhances market analysis by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Fair Value Gaps (FVG) across multiple timeframes. It identifies trend continuations (Break of Structure, BOS) and trend reversals (Change of Character, CHoCH) while highlighting liquidity zones through FVG detection. The indicator includes eight customizable Moving Average (MA) curve templates, disabled by default, to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Its originality lies in combining multi-timeframe FVG detection with SMC structure analysis, providing traders with a cohesive tool to visualize price action patterns and liquidity zones efficiently.
Features and Functionality
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator detects and displays bullish, bearish, and mitigated FVGs, representing liquidity zones where price inefficiencies occur. These gaps are dynamically updated based on price action:
Bullish FVG: Displayed in green when unmitigated, indicating potential upward liquidity zones.
Bearish FVG: Displayed in red when unmitigated, signaling potential downward liquidity zones.
Mitigated FVG: Shown in gray once the gap is partially filled by price action.
Fully Mitigated FVG: Automatically removed from the chart when the gap is fully filled, reducing visual clutter.
Users can customize the number of historical FVGs displayed via the settings, allowing focus on recent liquidity zones for targeted analysis.
2. SMC Structures
The indicator identifies key SMC price action patterns:
Break of Structure (BOS): Marked with gray lines, indicating trend continuation when price breaks a significant high or low.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Highlighted with yellow lines, signaling potential trend reversals when price fails to maintain the current structure.
High/Low Values: Blue lines denote the highest high and lowest low of the current structure, providing reference points for market context.
3. Multi-Timeframe FVG Analysis
A standout feature is the ability to analyze FVGs across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This allows traders to align higher-timeframe liquidity zones with lower-timeframe entries, improving trade precision. The indicator fetches FVG data from user-selected timeframes, displaying them cohesively on the chart.
4. Moving Average (MA) Templates
The indicator includes eight customizable MA curve templates in the Settings > Template section, disabled by default. These templates allow users to overlay MAs (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA) to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Each template is pre-configured with different periods and types, enabling quick adaptation to various trading strategies, such as trend confirmation or dynamic support/resistance.
How It Works
The script processes price action to detect FVGs by analyzing three-candle patterns where a gap forms between the high/low of the first and third candles. Multi-timeframe data is retrieved using Pine Script’s request.security() function, ensuring accurate FVG plotting across user-defined timeframes. BOS and CHoCH are identified by tracking swing highs and lows, with logic to differentiate trend continuation from reversals. The MA templates are computed using standard Pine Script TA functions, with user inputs controlling visibility and parameters.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart.
Configure Settings:
FVG Settings: Adjust the number of historical FVGs to display (default: 10). Enable/disable specific FVG types (bullish, bearish, mitigated).
Timeframe Selection: Choose up to three timeframes for FVG analysis (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to align with your trading strategy.
Structure Settings: Toggle BOS (gray lines) and CHoCH (yellow lines) visibility. Adjust sensitivity for structure detection if needed.
MA Templates: Enable MA curves via the Template section. Select from eight pre-configured MA types and periods to suit your analysis.
Interpret Signals:
Use green/red FVGs for potential entry points targeting liquidity zones.
Monitor gray lines (BOS) for trend continuation and yellow lines (CHoCH) for reversal signals.
Align multi-timeframe FVGs with BOS/CHoCH for high-probability setups.
Optionally, use MA curves for trend confirmation or dynamic levels.
Clean Chart Usage: The indicator is designed to work standalone. Ensure no conflicting scripts are applied unless explicitly needed for your strategy.
Why This Indicator Is Unique
Unlike standalone FVG or SMC indicators, this script combines both concepts with multi-timeframe analysis, offering a comprehensive view of market structure and liquidity. The addition of customizable MA templates enhances flexibility, while the dynamic removal of mitigated FVGs keeps the chart clean. This mashup is purposeful, as it integrates complementary tools to streamline decision-making for traders using SMC strategies.

Volume BubblesVolume Bubbles Indicator
Introduction
The Volume Bubbles indicator is a powerful tool designed to visually highlight significant volume spikes on your TradingView charts. It helps traders identify potential areas of whale accumulation (large buying activity) or dumping (large selling activity) by displaying colored bubbles on candles where volume exceeds a customizable threshold. Green bubbles indicate bullish (buy) volume on up candles, suggesting possible accumulation, while red bubbles signal bearish (sell) volume on down candles, indicating potential dumping. The bubble size scales with the volume magnitude, making it easy to spot major market moves at a glance.
This indicator is particularly useful for crypto, forex, and stock traders looking to gauge market sentiment and large player involvement without cluttering the chart. It's built in Pine Script v5 and overlays directly on your price action.
How It Works
The indicator calculates a moving average of volume (default: 20-period SMA) and detects spikes when current volume exceeds this average by a multiplier (default: 2x).
Buy Bubbles (Green): Appear on bullish candles (close >= open) at the low wick, representing potential whale buying or accumulation zones.
Sell Bubbles (Red): Appear on bearish candles (close < open) at the high wick, indicating potential whale selling or dumping zones.
Bubble Size: Dynamically sized based on volume thresholds – huge for >1M, large for 500K-1M, normal for <500K.
Transparency: Increases with volume ratio for better visibility on extreme spikes.
Tooltip:
Hover over a bubble to see detailed info like total volume, average volume, and ratio.
By focusing on these high-volume events, traders can spot key support/resistance levels where whales might be active.
How to Use for Whale Accumulation and Dumping
Whales (large holders) often move markets with high-volume trades. This indicator helps spot them:
Accumulation (Buying): Look for clusters of large green bubbles at price lows or during consolidations. This suggests whales are buying dips, potentially signaling a reversal or uptrend start. Combine with support levels for confirmation.
Dumping (Selling): Watch for big red bubbles at price highs or after rallies. This indicates whales unloading positions, which could lead to downtrends or corrections. Pair with resistance levels.
Tips:
Use on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H+) for reliable signals.
Confirm with other indicators like RSI or MACD to avoid false positives.
In trending markets, buy bubbles in uptrends confirm strength; sell bubbles in downtrends signal continuation.

EMA+SuperThis comprehensive indicator combines multiple powerful trend-following tools into a single chart overlay, designed for traders seeking clear entry and exit signals with market context.
Features:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Five EMAs (9, 21, 50, 100, 200) plotted for multi-timeframe trend analysis and dynamic support/resistance.
Supertrend: Classic volatility-based trend indicator highlighting bullish and bearish phases with dynamic colored bands.
NovaWave Cloud: Custom trend cloud created using fast and slow EMAs plus a signal moving average for visualizing market momentum shifts.
Displaced Moving Averages (20, 50, 200 DMA): Simple moving averages with optional displacement to assess lagged trend confirmation and cyclical ranges.
Buy/Sell Signal Labels: Automated labels show “BUY” when the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, and “SELL” when the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA, providing timely entry/exit cues.
Intended Use:
Perfect for swing and position traders, this indicator combines trend confirmation and actionable signals to help identify sustained price moves in various markets. It works well on multiple timeframes, offering a clear visual framework for market direction and trading decisions.
How to Use:
Look for BUY labels for potential long entry opportunities when momentum shifts bullish.
Look for SELL labels as potential exit or short signals when a bearish momentum crossover occurs.
Use the overlaying EMAs, Supertrend, and cloud as additional confirmation for trend strength and timing.
This all-in-one tool is ideal for traders who want a unified view of trend dynamics combined with simple, clear signals without needing multiple separate indicators.

Continuation Suite v1 — 5m/15mContinuation Suite v1 — 5m/15m (Non-Repainting, S/R + Trend Continuation)
What it does
Continuation Suite v1 is a practical intraday toolkit that combines non-repainting trend-continuation signals with auto-built Support/Resistance (S/R) from confirmed pivots. It’s designed for fast, liquid names on 5m charts with an optional 15m higher-timeframe (HTF) overlay. You get: stacked-EMA bias, disciplined pullback+reclaim entries, optional volume/volatility gates, a “Strong” signal tier, solid S/R lines or zones, and a compact dashboard for fast reads.
⸻
Why traders use it
• Clear bias using fast/mid/slow EMA stacking.
• Actionable entries that require a pullback, a reclaim, and (optionally) a minor break of prior extremes.
• Signal quality gates (volume vs SMA, ATR%, ADX/DI alignment, EMA spacing, slope).
• Non-repainting logic when “Confirm on Close” = ON. Intrabar previews show what’s forming, but confirmed signals only print on bar close.
• S/R that matters: confirmed-pivot lines or ATR-sized zones, optional HTF overlay, and auto de-dup to avoid clutter.
⸻
Signal construction (no magic, just rules)
Bullish continuation (base):
1. Trend: EMA fast > EMA mid > EMA slow
2. Pullback: price pulls into the stack (lowest low or close vs EMA fast/mid over a lookback)
3. Reclaim: close > EMA fast and close > open
4. Break filter (optional): current bar takes out the prior bar’s high
5. Filters: volume > SMA (if enabled) and ATR% ≤ max (if enabled)
6. Cooldown: a minimum bar gap between signals
Bearish continuation (base): mirror of the above.
Strong signals: base conditions plus ADX ≥ threshold, DI alignment (DI+>DI- for longs; DI->DI+ for shorts), minimum EMA-spacing %, and minimum fast-EMA slope.
Reference stops:
• Longs: lowest low over the pullback lookback
• Shorts: highest high over the pullback lookback
Alerts are included for: Bullish Continuation, Bearish Continuation, STRONG Bullish, STRONG Bearish.
⸻
S/R engine (current TF + optional HTF)
• Builds S/R from confirmed pivots only (left/right bars).
• Choose Lines (midlines) or Zones (ATR-sized).
• Zones merge when a new pivot lands near an existing zone’s mid (ATR-scaled epsilon).
• Touches counter tracks significance; you can require a minimum to draw.
• HTF overlay (default 15m) draws separate lines/zones with tiny TF tags on the right.
• De-dup option hides current-TF zones that sit too close to HTF zones (ATR-scaled), reducing overlap.
• Freeze on Close (optional) keeps arrays stable intrabar; snapshots show levels immediately as bars open.
⸻
Presets
• Auto: Detects QQQ-like tickers (QQQ, QLD, QID) or SoFi; else defaults to Custom.
• QQQ: Tighter ATR% and EMA settings geared to index-ETF behavior.
• SoFi: Wider ATR allowances and longer mid/slow for single-name behavior.
• Custom: Expose all key inputs to tune for your product.
⸻
Dashboard (top-right)
• Preset in use
• Bias (Bullish CONT / Bearish CONT / Neutral)
• Strong (Yes/No)
• Volatility (ATR% bucket)
• Trend (ADX bucket)
• HTF timeframe tag
• Volume (bucket or “off”)
• Signals mode (Close-Confirmed vs Intrabar)
⸻
Inputs you’ll actually adjust
Trend/Signals
• Fast/Mid/Slow EMA lengths
• Pullback lookback, Min bars between signals
• Volume filter (vol > SMA N)
• ATR% max filter (cap excessive volatility)
• Require break of prior bar’s high/low
• “Strong” gates: min EMA slope, min EMA spacing %, ADX length & threshold
Support/Resistance
• Lines vs Zones
• Pivot left/right bars
• Extend left/right (bars)
• Max pivots kept (current & HTF)
• Zone width (× ATR), Merge epsilon (× ATR), Min gap (× ATR)
• Min touches, Max zones per side near price
• De-dup current TF vs HTF (× ATR)
Repainting control
• Confirm on Close: when ON, signals/SR finalize on bar close (non-repainting)
• Freeze on Close: freeze S/R intrabar with snapshot updates
• Show previews: translucent intrabar labels for what’s forming
⸻
How to use it (straightforward)
1. Load on 5-minute chart (baseline). Keep Confirm on Close ON if you hate repainting.
2. Use Bias + Strong + S/R context. If a long prints into HTF resistance, you have information.
3. Manage risk off the reference stop (pullback extreme). If ATR% reads “Great,” widen expectations; if “Poor,” size down or pass.
4. Alerts: wire the four alert types to your workflow.
⸻
Notes and constraints
• Designed for liquid symbols. Thin books and synthetic “volume” will degrade the volume gate.
• S/R is pivot-based. On very choppy tape, touch counts help. Increase min touches or switch to Lines to declutter.
• If your chart timeframe isn’t 5m, behavior changes because lengths are in bars, not minutes. Tune lengths accordingly.
⸻

Higher Timeframe Selection: You can choose any higher timeframe from the available options (1-minute to monthly), allowing you to view price action from any timeframe higher than your current chart.
Customizable Appearance:
Control the number of HTF candles displayed (1-10)
Adjust the spacing between the candles and current price
Modify candle width for better visibility
Customize colors for bullish and bearish candles, wicks, and borders
Real-time Updates: The current (ongoing) HTF candle updates in real-time as new price data comes in, showing you how the higher timeframe candle is developing.
Time Remaining Display: An optional label shows the current HTF period and how much time remains until the candle closes, helping you time your entries and exits.
Visual Warnings: The script warns you if you select a timeframe that matches your current chart timeframe.
How It Works
Data Retrieval: The script fetches both the current developing candle and historical candles from the selected higher timeframe using request.security() calls.
Candle Processing:
It stores candle data (open, high, low, close, and time) in arrays
Handles both the current developing candle and past completed candles
Updates the current candle in real-time as new price data comes in
Visual Rendering:
Draws candle bodies as boxes with appropriate bullish/bearish colors
Creates wicks as lines extending from the candle bodies
Places candles horizontally on your chart with proper spacing
Timing Information:
Calculates and displays the remaining time until the current higher timeframe candle closes
Formats the time remaining in a user-friendly way (days, hours, minutes)
Practical Applications
Context for Trading Decisions: See where price is in relation to higher timeframe support/resistance levels.
Entry and Exit Timing: Time your entries and exits based on higher timeframe candle closings.
Trend Alignment: Ensure your trades align with the higher timeframe trend direction.
Support/Resistance Identification: Easily identify key price levels from higher timeframes.
Candle Pattern Recognition: Spot important higher timeframe candlestick patterns without switching timeframes.
This indicator essentially brings the higher timeframe context directly to your current chart, allowing for more informed trading decisions that consider both short-term and long-term market structures simultaneously.
Stochastic Enhanced [DCAUT]█ Stochastic Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Stochastic Enhanced indicator builds upon George Lane's classic momentum oscillator (developed in the late 1950s) by providing comprehensive smoothing algorithm flexibility. While traditional implementations limit users to Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing, this enhanced version offers 21 advanced smoothing algorithms, allowing traders to optimize the indicator's characteristics for different market conditions and trading styles.
Key Improvements:
Extended from single SMA smoothing to 21 professional-grade algorithms including adaptive filters (KAMA, FRAMA), zero-lag methods (ZLEMA, T3), and advanced digital filters (Kalman, Laguerre)
Maintains backward compatibility with traditional Stochastic calculations through SMA default setting
Unified smoothing algorithm applies to both %K and %D lines for consistent signal processing characteristics
Enhanced visual feedback with clear color distinction and background fill highlighting for intuitive signal recognition
Comprehensive alert system covering crossovers and zone entries for systematic trade management
Differentiation from Traditional Stochastic:
Traditional Stochastic indicators use fixed SMA smoothing, which introduces consistent lag regardless of market volatility. This enhanced version addresses the limitation by offering adaptive algorithms that adjust to market conditions (KAMA, FRAMA), reduce lag without sacrificing smoothness (ZLEMA, T3, HMA), or provide superior noise filtering (Kalman Filter, Laguerre filters). The flexibility helps traders balance responsiveness and stability according to their specific needs.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Core Stochastic Calculation:
The Stochastic Oscillator measures the position of the current close relative to the high-low range over a specified period:
Step 1: Raw %K Calculation
%K_raw = 100 × (Close - Lowest Low) / (Highest High - Lowest Low)
Where:
Close = Current closing price
Lowest Low = Lowest low over the %K Length period
Highest High = Highest high over the %K Length period
Result ranges from 0 (close at period low) to 100 (close at period high)
Step 2: Smoothed %K Calculation
%K = MA(%K_raw, K Smoothing Period, MA Type)
Where:
MA = Selected moving average algorithm (SMA, EMA, etc.)
K Smoothing = 1 for Fast Stochastic, 3+ for Slow Stochastic
Traditional Fast Stochastic uses %K_raw directly without smoothing
Step 3: Signal Line %D Calculation
%D = MA(%K, D Smoothing Period, MA Type)
Where:
%D acts as a signal line and moving average of %K
D Smoothing typically set to 3 periods in traditional implementations
Both %K and %D use the same MA algorithm for consistent behavior
Available Smoothing Algorithms (21 Options):
Standard Moving Averages:
SMA (Simple): Equal-weighted average, traditional default, consistent lag characteristics
EMA (Exponential): Recent price emphasis, faster response to changes, exponential decay weighting
RMA (Rolling/Wilder's): Smoothed average used in RSI, less reactive than EMA
WMA (Weighted): Linear weighting favoring recent data, moderate responsiveness
VWMA (Volume-Weighted): Incorporates volume data, reflects market participation intensity
Advanced Moving Averages:
HMA (Hull): Reduced lag with smoothness, uses weighted moving averages and square root period
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux): Gaussian distribution weighting, minimal lag with good noise reduction
LSMA (Least Squares): Linear regression based, fits trend line to data points
DEMA (Double Exponential): Reduced lag compared to EMA, uses double smoothing technique
TEMA (Triple Exponential): Further lag reduction, triple smoothing with lag compensation
ZLEMA (Zero-Lag Exponential): Lag elimination attempt using error correction, very responsive
TMA (Triangular): Double-smoothed SMA, very smooth but slower response
Adaptive & Intelligent Filters:
T3 (Tilson T3): Six-pass exponential smoothing with volume factor adjustment, excellent smoothness
FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive): Adapts to market fractal dimension, faster in trends, slower in ranges
KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive): Efficiency ratio based adaptation, responds to volatility changes
McGinley Dynamic: Self-adjusting mechanism following price more accurately, reduced whipsaws
Kalman Filter: Optimal estimation algorithm from aerospace engineering, dynamic noise filtering
Advanced Digital Filters:
Ultimate Smoother: Advanced digital filter design, superior noise rejection with minimal lag
Laguerre Filter: Time-domain filter with N-order implementation, adjustable lag characteristics
Laguerre Binomial Filter: 6-pole Laguerre filter, extremely smooth output for long-term analysis
Super Smoother: Butterworth filter implementation, removes high-frequency noise effectively
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Absolute Level Interpretation (%K Line):
%K Above 80: Overbought condition, price near period high, potential reversal or pullback zone, caution for new long entries
%K in 70-80 Range: Strong upward momentum, bullish trend confirmation, uptrend likely continuing
%K in 50-70 Range: Moderate bullish momentum, neutral to positive outlook, consolidation or mild uptrend
%K in 30-50 Range: Moderate bearish momentum, neutral to negative outlook, consolidation or mild downtrend
%K in 20-30 Range: Strong downward momentum, bearish trend confirmation, downtrend likely continuing
%K Below 20: Oversold condition, price near period low, potential bounce or reversal zone, caution for new short entries
Crossover Signal Analysis:
%K Crosses Above %D (Bullish Cross): Momentum shifting bullish, faster line overtakes slower signal, consider long entry especially in oversold zone, strongest when occurring below 20 level
%K Crosses Below %D (Bearish Cross): Momentum shifting bearish, faster line falls below slower signal, consider short entry especially in overbought zone, strongest when occurring above 80 level
Crossover in Midrange (40-60): Less reliable signals, often in choppy sideways markets, require additional confirmation from trend or volume analysis
Multiple Failed Crosses: Indicates ranging market or choppy conditions, reduce position sizes or avoid trading until clear directional move
Advanced Divergence Patterns (%K Line vs Price):
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while %K makes higher low, indicates weakening bearish momentum, potential trend reversal upward, more reliable when %K in oversold zone
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while %K makes lower high, indicates weakening bullish momentum, potential trend reversal downward, more reliable when %K in overbought zone
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes higher low while %K makes lower low, indicates trend continuation in uptrend, bullish trend strength confirmation
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes lower high while %K makes higher high, indicates trend continuation in downtrend, bearish trend strength confirmation
Momentum Strength Analysis (%K Line Slope):
Steep %K Slope: Rapid momentum change, strong directional conviction, potential for extended moves but also increased reversal risk
Gradual %K Slope: Steady momentum development, sustainable trends more likely, lower probability of sharp reversals
Flat or Horizontal %K: Momentum stalling, potential reversal or consolidation ahead, wait for directional break before committing
%K Oscillation Within Range: Indicates ranging market, sideways price action, better suited for range-trading strategies than trend following
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Mean Reversion Strategy (Range-Bound Markets):
Identify ranging market conditions using price action or Bollinger Bands
Wait for Stochastic to reach extreme zones (above 80 for overbought, below 20 for oversold)
Enter counter-trend position when %K crosses %D in extreme zone (sell on bearish cross above 80, buy on bullish cross below 20)
Set profit targets near opposite extreme or midline (50 level)
Use tight stop-loss above recent swing high/low to protect against breakout scenarios
Exit when Stochastic reaches opposite extreme or %K crosses %D in opposite direction
Trend Following with Momentum Confirmation:
Identify primary trend direction using higher timeframe analysis or moving averages
Wait for Stochastic pullback to oversold zone (<20) in uptrend or overbought zone (>80) in downtrend
Enter in trend direction when %K crosses %D confirming momentum shift (bullish cross in uptrend, bearish cross in downtrend)
Use wider stops to accommodate normal trend volatility
Add to position on subsequent pullbacks showing similar Stochastic pattern
Exit when Stochastic shows opposite extreme with failed cross or bearish/bullish divergence
Divergence-Based Reversal Strategy:
Scan for divergence between price and Stochastic at swing highs/lows
Confirm divergence with at least two price pivots showing divergent Stochastic readings
Wait for %K to cross %D in direction of anticipated reversal as entry trigger
Enter position in divergence direction with stop beyond recent swing extreme
Target profit at key support/resistance levels or Fibonacci retracements
Scale out as Stochastic reaches opposite extreme zone
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Alignment:
Analyze Stochastic on higher timeframe (4H or Daily) for primary trend bias
Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15M) for precise entry timing
Only take trades where lower timeframe Stochastic signal aligns with higher timeframe momentum direction
Higher timeframe Stochastic in bullish zone (>50) = only take long entries on lower timeframe
Higher timeframe Stochastic in bearish zone (<50) = only take short entries on lower timeframe
Exit when lower timeframe shows counter-signal or higher timeframe momentum reverses
Zone Transition Strategy:
Monitor Stochastic for transitions between zones (oversold to neutral, neutral to overbought, etc.)
Enter long when Stochastic crosses above 20 (exiting oversold), signaling momentum shift from bearish to neutral/bullish
Enter short when Stochastic crosses below 80 (exiting overbought), signaling momentum shift from bullish to neutral/bearish
Use zone midpoint (50) as dynamic support/resistance for position management
Trail stops as Stochastic advances through favorable zones
Exit when Stochastic fails to maintain momentum and reverses back into prior zone

Zero-lag algorithms sacrifice some smoothness for responsiveness, potentially increasing noise sensitivity in very choppy conditions
Performance characteristics vary significantly across algorithms, requiring understanding and testing before live implementation
Like all oscillators, Stochastic can remain in extreme zones for extended periods during strong trends, generating premature reversal signals
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to provide traders with enhanced flexibility in momentum analysis. The Stochastic Oscillator has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
Algorithm performance varies with market conditions - no single smoothing method is optimal for all scenarios
Extreme zone signals (overbought/oversold) indicate potential reversal areas but not guaranteed turning points, especially in strong trends
Crossover signals may generate false entries during sideways choppy markets regardless of smoothing algorithm
Divergence patterns require confirmation from price action or additional indicators before trading
Past indicator characteristics and backtested results do not guarantee future performance
Always combine Stochastic analysis with proper risk management, position sizing, and multi-indicator confirmation
Test selected algorithm on historical data of specific instrument and timeframe before live trading
Market regime changes may require algorithm adjustment for optimal performance
The enhanced smoothing options are intended to provide tools for optimizing the indicator's behavior to match individual trading styles and market characteristics, not to create a perfect predictive tool. Responsible usage includes understanding the mathematical properties of selected algorithms and their appropriate application contexts.
Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation
📖 Overview
The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology.
This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events.
By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active .
⚙️ How It Works
1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar):
• When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying).
• These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone.
2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar):
• When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers).
• These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.
3. Average Volume Calculation:
• The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar .
🧪 Inputs
Input Description
Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average
High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume”
🖥️ Visual Output
• 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation
• 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution
• 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred
These zones can serve as:
• Areas of support/resistance
• Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity
• Entry/exit filters when combined with price action
🧠 How to Use
• Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools
• Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines
• Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal
• Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ Does not repaint
• ✅ Built with Pine Script v6
• ✅ Lightweight and customizable
• ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions

MULTI-CONDITION RSI SIGNAL GENERATOR═══════════════════════════════════════════════
MULTI-CONDITION RSI SIGNAL GENERATOR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW:
This indicator generates trading signals based on Relative Strength Index (RSI) movements with multiple confirmation layers designed to filter false signals and identify high-probability reversal opportunities.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike basic RSI indicators that simply plot overbought/oversold crossovers, this system combines FOUR distinct confirmation mechanisms:
1. PERSISTENCE FILTERING - Requires RSI to remain in extreme zones for a minimum duration
2. LOOKBACK VALIDATION - Verifies recent extreme zone visits before signaling
3. DIVERGENCE DETECTION - Identifies price/RSI divergence for stronger signals
4. MOMENTUM CONFIRMATION - Provides trend-continuation entries via midline crosses
This multi-layered approach significantly reduces whipsaw trades that plague simple RSI crossover systems.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS (TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY):
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
STEP 1: RSI CALCULATION
- Standard RSI calculation using user-defined period (default: 14)
- Monitors two extreme zones: Overbought (default: 70) and Oversold (default: 30)
STEP 2: PERSISTENCE FILTERING
The script counts how many bars RSI has spent in extreme zones within the lookback period:
- For overbought signals: Counts bars where RSI > 70
- For oversold signals: Counts bars where RSI < 30
- Signal only triggers if count >= Minimum Duration (default: 4 bars)
This filters out brief spikes that immediately reverse, focusing on sustained extreme conditions that are more likely to lead to genuine reversals.
STEP 3: LOOKBACK VALIDATION
- Checks if RSI reached extreme zones within the Lookback Bars period (default: 20)
- Uses ta.highest() and ta.lowest() functions to verify recent extremes
- Ensures we're trading reversals from meaningful extremes, not random crossovers
STEP 4: BASIC SIGNAL GENERATION
- BUY SIGNAL: RSI crosses above the oversold level (30) after meeting persistence and lookback conditions
- SELL SIGNAL: RSI crosses below the overbought level (70) after meeting persistence and lookback conditions
STEP 5: DIVERGENCE DETECTION
The script identifies two types of divergence over the Divergence Lookback period (default: 5 bars):
A) BULLISH DIVERGENCE (indicates potential upward reversal):
- Price makes a lower low (current low < previous low)
- RSI makes a higher low (current RSI low > previous RSI low)
- Suggests weakening downward momentum
B) BEARISH DIVERGENCE (indicates potential downward reversal):
- Price makes a higher high (current high > previous high)
- RSI makes a lower high (current RSI high < previous RSI high)
- Suggests weakening upward momentum
STEP 6: STRONG SIGNAL CONFIRMATION
- STRONG BUY: Basic buy signal + bullish divergence present
- STRONG SELL: Basic sell signal + bearish divergence present
- These represent the highest-probability setups
STEP 7: MOMENTUM SIGNALS (OPTIONAL)
- MOMENTUM BUY: RSI crosses above 50 after being oversold (trend continuation)
- MOMENTUM SELL: RSI crosses below 50 after being overbought (trend continuation)
- Smaller signals for traders who want trend-following entries
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
SIGNAL TYPES AND VISUAL INDICATORS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 GREEN TRIANGLE (below bar) - Standard Buy Signal
RSI crossed above oversold level with confirmation filters
📉 RED TRIANGLE (above bar) - Standard Sell Signal
RSI crossed below overbought level with confirmation filters
🔵 BLUE TRIANGLE (below bar) - Strong Buy Signal
Buy signal + bullish divergence (HIGHEST PRIORITY)
🟣 PURPLE TRIANGLE (above bar) - Strong Sell Signal
Sell signal + bearish divergence (HIGHEST PRIORITY)
🟢 GREEN CIRCLE (small) - Momentum Buy
RSI crosses above 50 after oversold conditions
🔴 RED CIRCLE (small) - Momentum Sell
RSI crosses below 50 after overbought conditions
BACKGROUND SHADING:
- Light red background: RSI currently overbought
- Light green background: RSI currently oversold
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
PARAMETER SETTINGS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
1. OVERBOUGHT LEVEL (default: 70, range: 50-90)
- Higher values = fewer but stronger overbought signals
- Lower values = more sensitive to overbought conditions
- Recommended: 70 for standard markets, 80 for crypto/volatile assets
2. OVERSOLD LEVEL (default: 30, range: 10-50)
- Lower values = fewer but stronger oversold signals
- Higher values = more sensitive to oversold conditions
- Recommended: 30 for standard markets, 20 for crypto/volatile assets
3. RSI PERIOD (default: 14, range: 2-50)
- Standard RSI calculation period
- Lower = more sensitive/faster signals
- Higher = smoother/slower signals
- Recommended: 14 (industry standard)
4. MINIMUM DURATION (default: 4, range: 1-20)
- Required bars in extreme zone before signal
- Higher values = fewer signals but better quality
- Lower values = more signals but more false positives
- Recommended: 3-5 for day trading, 5-10 for swing trading
5. LOOKBACK BARS (default: 20, range: 5-100)
- How far back to check for extreme zone visits
- Should match your typical trading timeframe
- Recommended: 20 for intraday, 50 for daily charts
6. DIVERGENCE LOOKBACK (default: 5, range: 2-20)
- Period for comparing price/RSI highs and lows
- Lower values = more frequent divergence signals
- Higher values = more significant divergences
- Recommended: 5-10 depending on timeframe
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
RECOMMENDED TRADING APPROACH:
1. PRIMARY ENTRIES: Focus on Strong Buy/Sell signals (blue/purple triangles)
- These have the highest win rate due to divergence confirmation
- Wait for price action confirmation (support/resistance, candlestick patterns)
2. SECONDARY ENTRIES: Regular Buy/Sell signals (green/red triangles)
- Use these when Strong signals are infrequent
- Require additional confirmation from other indicators or chart patterns
3. TREND CONTINUATION: Momentum signals (small circles)
- Best used when overall trend is clear
- Not recommended for reversal trading
4. FILTER TRADES: Use background shading as context
- Be cautious entering longs when background is red (overbought)
- Be cautious entering shorts when background is green (oversold)
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
- Never risk more than 2-5% of capital per trade
- Use stop losses below recent swing lows (buys) or above swing highs (sells)
- Target at least 1.5:1 reward-to-risk ratio
- Consider position sizing based on signal strength
TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS:
- 15min - 1hour: Day trading with adjusted parameters (lower minimum duration)
- 4hour - Daily: Swing trading with default parameters
- Weekly: Position trading with increased lookback periods
COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS:
This indicator works best when combined with:
- Support and resistance levels
- Trend indicators (moving averages, trend lines)
- Volume analysis
- Price action patterns (engulfing candles, pin bars)
