RSI BB StdDev SignalOverview
The RSI BB StdDev Signal Indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance your trading strategy by combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with Bollinger Bands (BB). This unique combination allows traders to identify potential buy and sell signals more accurately by leveraging the strengths of both indicators. The RSI helps in identifying overbought and oversold conditions, while the Bollinger Bands provide a dynamic range to assess volatility and potential price reversals.
Key Features
— RSI Calculation: The indicator calculates the RSI based on user-defined parameters, allowing for customization to fit different trading styles.
— Bollinger Bands Integration: The RSI values are smoothed using a moving average, and Bollinger Bands are applied to this smoothed RSI to generate buy and sell signals.
— Divergence Detection: The indicator includes an optional feature to detect and alert on bullish and bearish divergences between the RSI and price action.
— Customizable Alerts: Users can set up alerts for buy and sell signals, as well as for divergences, ensuring they never miss a trading opportunity.
— Visual Aids: The indicator plots the RSI, Bollinger Bands, and signals on the chart, making it easy to visualize and interpret the data.
How It Works
1. RSI Calculation:
— The RSI is calculated using the change in the source input (default is close price) over a specified period.
— The RSI values are then plotted on the chart with customizable overbought and oversold levels.
2. Smoothing and Bollinger Bands:
— The RSI values are smoothed using a moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) selected by the user.
— Bollinger Bands are applied to the smoothed RSI to create dynamic upper and lower bands.
3. Signal Generation:
—Buy signals are generated when the RSI crosses above the lower Bollinger Band.
—Sell signals are generated when the RSI crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
—These signals are plotted on both the RSI pane and the main price chart for easy reference.
4. Divergence Detection:
— The indicator can detect and alert on regular bullish and bearish divergences between the RSI and price action.
— Bullish divergences occur when the price makes a lower low, but the RSI makes a higher low.
— Bearish divergences occur when the price makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high.
Usage
1. Setting Up:
— Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
— Customize the RSI length, source, and other parameters in the settings panel.

Market Anomaly Detector (MAD)Market Anomaly Detector (MAD) Indicator - Detailed Description:
The Market Anomaly Detector (MAD) Indicator is a unique tool designed to identify potential market anomalies by combining several price action-based and momentum indicators. This indicator is especially useful for traders who seek to identify significant market shifts and anomalies before they become visible in conventional technical indicators.
Key Features of the MAD Indicator:
1. Z-Score Threshold for Anomaly Detection:
• The Z-Score measures how far a current price is from its average over a defined period, normalized by standard deviation. This allows the MAD indicator to detect outliers or anomalies in price movements.
• By adjusting the Z-Score Threshold, traders can tune the sensitivity of the indicator to capture only the most significant price deviations, filtering out noise and reducing false signals.
2. Volume and Liquidity Filter:
• Volume is a key indicator of market participation and sentiment. The MAD Indicator uses a volume multiplier to assess when price movements are supported by sufficient trading volume.
• A volume spike is identified when the current volume exceeds the average volume by a certain multiplier. This ensures that only high-confidence signals are generated, particularly useful for spotting trend reversals and breakout opportunities.
3. Signal Cooldown Period:
• To prevent overfitting and reduce false signals, a signal cooldown period is implemented. Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the indicator waits for a specified number of bars (e.g., 5) before triggering another signal, even if the price action meets the criteria for a new signal. This helps maintain a cleaner trading environment and avoids confusion when the market is volatile.
4. Upper and Lower Bands for Trend Confirmation:
• The MAD Indicator uses bands based on the mean price and standard deviation, similar to Bollinger Bands. These upper and lower bands help to define the expected price range for a given period, indicating overbought or oversold conditions.
• The combination of Z-Score, volume, and band analysis helps pinpoint when the price breaks out of expected ranges, providing early warning signs for potential market shifts.
5. Trend Confirmation from Higher Timeframes:
• The MAD Indicator includes a multi-timeframe approach to trend confirmation, using the 50-period EMA on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour chart). This ensures that signals are aligned with the overall market trend, enhancing the reliability of buy and sell signals.
How It Works:
• The MAD Indicator continuously monitors price action, volume, and statistical anomalies, using the Z-Score to determine when the price is significantly deviating from its historical average.
• When the price breaks above the upper band and a bullish anomaly is detected, a buy signal is generated. (Green Background)
• Similarly, when the price breaks below the lower band and a bearish anomaly is detected, a sell signal is triggered. (Red Background
• By filtering signals based on volume and using the cooldown period, the MAD Indicator ensures that only high-quality trades are signaled.
How to Use the MAD Indicator:
• Buy Signal: Occurs when the price breaks above the upper band and there is a significant deviation from the mean (bullish anomaly).
• Sell Signal: Occurs when the price breaks below the lower band and there is a significant deviation from the mean (bearish anomaly).
• Volume Confirmation: Ensure that the buy/sell signals are supported by a volume spike, indicating strong market participation.
• Signal Cooldown Period: After a signal is triggered, the indicator waits for the cooldown period to avoid triggering multiple signals in quick succession.
Why It’s Worth Paying For:
The MAD Indicator combines advanced statistical analysis (Z-Score), price action, and volume analysis to identify market anomalies and breakouts before they are visible on standard indicators. By leveraging the power of mean reversion and statistical anomalies, this tool provides traders with high-confidence signals that can lead to profitable trades, especially in volatile markets. The integration of a multi-timeframe trend filter ensures that signals are aligned with the overall market trend, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts.
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders looking for high-probability entries and mean-reversion traders aiming to capture price deviations. The signal cooldown period and volume filter provide an additional layer of precision, ensuring that you only act on the strongest market signals.

Standard Deviation of Returns: DivergencePurpose:
The "Standard Deviation of Returns: Divergence" indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals or continuation signals by analyzing divergences between price action and the statistical volatility of returns. Divergences can signal weakening momentum in the prevailing trend, offering insight into potential buying or selling opportunities.
Key Components
1. Returns Calculation:
* The indicator uses logarithmic returns (log(close / close )) to measure relative price changes in a normalized manner.
* Log returns are more effective than simple price differences when analyzing data across varying price levels, as they account for percentage-based changes.
2. Standard Deviation of Returns:
* The script computes the standard deviation of returns over a user-defined lookback period (ta.stdev(returns, lookback)).
* Standard deviation measures the dispersion of returns around their average, effectively quantifying market volatility.
* A higher standard deviation indicates increased volatility, while lower standard deviation reflects a calmer market.
3. Price Action:
* Detects higher highs (new peaks in price) and lower lows (new troughs in price) over the lookback period.
* Price trends are compared to the behavior of the standard deviation.
4. Divergence Detection:
A divergence occurs when price action (higher highs or lower lows) is not confirmed by a corresponding movement in standard deviation:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but the standard deviation does not, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but the standard deviation does not, signaling potential downward momentum.
5. Visual Cues:
The script highlights divergence regions directly on the chart:
Green Background: Indicates a bullish divergence (potential buy signal).
Red Background: Indicates a bearish divergence (potential sell signal).
How It Works
Inputs:
* The user specifies the lookback period (lookback) for calculating the standard deviation and detecting divergences.
Calculation:
* Each bar’s returns are computed and used to calculate the standard deviation over the specified lookback period.
* The indicator evaluates price highs/lows and compares these with the highest and lowest values of the standard deviation within the same lookback period.
Highlight of Divergences:
When divergences are detected:
Bullish Divergence: The background of the chart is shaded green.
Bearish Divergence: The background of the chart is shaded red.
Trading Application
Bullish Divergence:
* Occurs when the market is oversold, or downward momentum is weakening.
* Suggests a potential reversal to an uptrend, signaling a buying opportunity.
Bearish Divergence:
* Occurs when the market is overbought, or upward momentum is weakening.
* Suggests a potential reversal to a downtrend, signaling a selling opportunity.
Contextual Use:
* Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical tools like RSI, MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
* Effective in volatile or ranging markets to help anticipate shifts in momentum.
Summary
The "Standard Deviation of Returns: Divergence" indicator is a robust tool for spotting divergences that can signal weakening market trends. It combines statistical volatility with price action analysis to highlight key areas of potential reversals. By integrating this tool into your trading strategy, you can gain additional confirmation for entries or exits while keeping a close watch on momentum shifts.

BTCUSD Momentum After Abnormal DaysThis indicator identifies abnormal days in the Bitcoin market (BTCUSD) based on daily returns exceeding specific thresholds defined by a statistical approach. It is inspired by the findings of Caporale and Plastun (2020), who analyzed the cryptocurrency market's inefficiencies and identified exploitable patterns, particularly around abnormal returns.
Key Concept:
Abnormal Days:
Days where the daily return significantly deviates (positively or negatively) from the historical average.
Positive abnormal days: Returns exceed the mean return plus k times the standard deviation.
Negative abnormal days: Returns fall below the mean return minus k times the standard deviation.
Momentum Effect:
As described in the academic paper, on abnormal days, prices tend to move in the direction of the abnormal return until the end of the trading day, creating momentum effects. This can be leveraged by traders for profit opportunities.
How It Works:
Calculation:
The script calculates the daily return as the percentage difference between the open and close prices. It then derives the mean and standard deviation of returns over a configurable lookback period.
Thresholds:
The script dynamically computes upper and lower thresholds for abnormal days using the mean and standard deviation. Days exceeding these thresholds are flagged as abnormal.
Visualization:
The mean return and thresholds are plotted as dynamic lines.
Abnormal days are visually highlighted with transparent green (positive) or red (negative) backgrounds on the chart.
References:
This indicator is based on the methodology discussed in "Momentum Effects in the Cryptocurrency Market After One-Day Abnormal Returns" by Caporale and Plastun (2020). Their research demonstrates that hourly returns during abnormal days exhibit a strong momentum effect, moving in the same direction as the abnormal return. This behavior contradicts the efficient market hypothesis and suggests profitable trading opportunities.
"Prices tend to move in the direction of abnormal returns till the end of the day, which implies the existence of a momentum effect on that day giving rise to exploitable profit opportunities" (Caporale & Plastun, 2020).
Dema Percentile Standard DeviationDema Percentile Standard Deviation
The Dema Percentile Standard Deviation indicator is a robust tool designed to identify and follow trends in financial markets.
How it works?
This code is straightforward and simple:
The price is smoothed using a DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average).
Percentiles are then calculated on that DEMA.
When the closing price is below the lower percentile, it signals a potential short.
When the closing price is above the upper percentile and the Standard Deviation of the lower percentile, it signals a potential long.
Settings
Dema/Percentile/SD/EMA Length's: Defines the period over which calculations are made.
Dema Source: The source of the price data used in calculations.
Percentiles: Selects the type of percentile used in calculations (options include 60/40, 60/45, 55/40, 55/45). In these settings, 60 and 55 determine percentile for long signals, while 45 and 40 determine percentile for short signals.
Features
Fully Customizable
Fully Customizable: Customize colors to display for long/short signals.
Display Options: Choose to show long/short signals as a background color, as a line on price action, or as trend momentum in a separate window.
EMA for Confluence: An EMA can be used for early entries/exits for added signal confirmation, but it may introduce noise—use with caution!

Standard Deviation-Based Fibonacci Band by zdmre This indicator is designed to better understand market dynamics by focusing on standard deviation and the Fibonacci sequence. This indicator includes the following components to assist investors in analyzing price movements:
Weighted Moving Average (WMA) : The indicator creates a central band by utilizing the weighted moving average of standard deviation. WMA provides a more current and accurate representation by giving greater weight to recent prices. This central band offers insights into the general trend of the market, helping to identify potential buying and selling opportunities.
Fibonacci Bands : The Fibonacci bands located above and below the central band illustrate potential support and resistance levels for prices. These bands enable investors to pinpoint areas where the price may exhibit indecisiveness. When prices move within these bands, it may be challenging for investors to discern the market's preferred direction.
Indecisiveness Representation : When prices fluctuate between the Fibonacci bands, they may reflect a state of indecisiveness. This condition is critical for identifying potential reversal points and trend changes. Investors can evaluate these periods of indecisiveness to develop suitable buying and selling strategies.
This indicator is designed to assist investors in better analyzing market trends and supporting their decision-making processes. The integration of standard deviation and the Fibonacci sequence offers a new perspective on understanding market movements.
#DYOR
Asymmetric volatilityThe "Asymmetric Volatility" indicator is designed to visualize the differences in volatility between upward and downward price movements of a selected instrument. It operates on the principle of analyzing price movements over a specified time period, with particular focus on the symmetrical evaluation of both price rises and falls.
User Parameters:
- Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars (candles) used to calculate the average volatility. The larger the value, the longer the time period, and the smoother the volatility data will be.
- Source: This represents the input data for the indicator calculations. By default, the close value of each bar is used, but the user can choose another data source (such as open, high, low, or any custom value).
Operational Algorithm:
1. Movement Calculation:
- UpMoves: Computed as the positive difference between the current bar value and the previous bar value, if it is greater than zero.
- DownMoves: Computed as the positive difference between the previous bar value and the current bar value, if it is greater than zero.
2. Volatility Calculation:
- UpVolatility: This is the arithmetic mean of the UpMoves values over the specified period.
- DownVolatility: This is the arithmetic mean of the DownMoves values over the specified period.
3. Graphical Representation:
- The indicator displays two plots: upward and downward volatility, represented by green and red lines, respectively.
- The background color changes based on which volatility is dominant: a green background indicates that upward volatility prevails, while a red background indicates downward volatility.
The indicator allows traders to quickly assess in which direction the market is more volatile at the moment, which can be useful for making trading decisions and evaluating the current market situation.

Outlier changes alertAn indicator that calculates click (price change), percentage change, and Z-score changes while displaying outliers based on defined ranges.
Outlier Detection:
Mark outliers (for price, percentage, Z-score) based on user-defined thresholds. For example, any price movement exceeding a certain Z-score or percentage change could be marked as an outlier and displayed on chart.
Indicator Overview:
1. Click (Price Change):
Calculate the absolute price change from one period to another (e.g., from the current closing price to the previous closing price).
2. Percentage Change:
Calculate the percentage price change over a specific period, showing how much the price has changed in relative terms compared to the previous price.
3. Z-Score:
Compute the Z-score to standardize the price change relative to its historical average and standard deviation. The Z-score helps in detecting whether a price movement is an outlier or falls within a normal range of volatility.
Standard Deviation based Upper Lower RangeThis script makes use of historical data for finding the standard deviation on daily returns. Based on the mean and standard deviation, the upper and lower range for the stock is shown upto 2x standard deviation. These bounds can be treated as volatility range for the next n trading sessions. This volatility is based on historical data. Users can change the lookback historical period, and can also set the time period (days) for upcoming trading sessions.
This indicator can be useful in determining stoploss and target levels along with the traditional support/resistance levels. It can also be useful in option trading where one needs to determine a range beyond which it is safe to sell an option.
A range of 1 SD has around 65% to 68% probability that it will not be breached. A range of 2 SD has around 95% probability that it will not be breached.
The indicator is based on Normal distribution theory. In future editions, I envision to also calculate the skewness and kurtosis so that we can determine if a stock is properly following Normal Distribution theory. That may further favor the calculated range.
Statistical Anomaly IndicatorThe Statistical Anomaly Indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders to detect and highlight candles that significantly deviate from the expected price action based on statistical analysis. By leveraging historical price data, this indicator calculates an anticipated price range using a pricing model rooted in the mean and standard deviation of historical returns. When the actual price moves outside these statistical boundaries, the corresponding candles are marked on the chart, providing traders with unique insights into potential market anomalies.
Purpose and Unique Insights
The primary purpose of the Statistical Anomaly Indicator is to aid traders in identifying periods of abnormal price movements that may signify overbought or oversold conditions, potential reversals, or trend continuations. By highlighting these statistical outliers, the indicator offers:
Early Detection of Market Anomalies: Spot unusual price actions promptly.
Enhanced Decision-Making: Make more informed trading decisions by understanding when prices deviate from historical norms.
Versatility Across Markets: Applicable in various market contexts, whether trending or ranging.
This tool benefits both novice traders, by simplifying complex statistical concepts into visual cues, and experienced traders, by adding a quantitative edge to their analysis.
Methodology
Calculate the return of the period
return(t) = (close - close )/close
Calculate the mean of past returns within a specified window
mean = ta.sma(return , period)
Calculate the standard deviation of past returns within a specified window
stdev = ta.stdev(return , period)
Establish price upper and lower bound using the last close, mean and standard deviation
upper_bound = close * (1 + mean + stdev)
lower_bound = close * (1 + mean - stdev)
Mark the candles where the close price exceeds the established price range
close > upper_bound or close < lower_bound
Visual Presentation on the Chart
Color-Coded Triangles: The indicator places color-coded triangles below the bars of the candles that exceed the expected price range.
Green Triangles: Indicate a close above the upper bound (potential overbought condition).
Red Triangles: Indicate a close below the lower bound (potential oversold condition).
Immediate Recognition: These visual cues enable traders to quickly identify statistical anomalies without sifting through numerical data.
Practical Applications for Traders
Identifying Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Recognize when the asset price may have moved too far in one direction and could be due for a correction.
Spotting Potential Reversals: Use deviations as early signals of possible market reversals.
Confirming Trend Continuations: In strong trends, deviations might indicate momentum is continuing rather than reversing.
Identifying historical trends in the price action.

By applying the D. Multiple across these components, the script ensures that their calculations and sensitivities are synchronized, creating a unified approach to market trend and volatility analysis.
The DHMA and DEMA, which filter market noise while responding quickly to price changes, are both smoothed using lengths dictated by the D. Multiple. The DEMA's smoothing is further applied to generate a dynamic median based on percentiles, providing a clearer central value from which trend deviations are measured. This dynamic median helps traders spot significant price movements that deviate from normal market behavior, aiding in identifying trend reversals.
The D. Multiple also governs the length of the standard deviation calculations, ensuring that the volatility measurements adjust in step with the trend detection methods. This ensures that the volatility-adjusted boundaries reflect real-time market conditions, providing clear thresholds for price action. The D. Multiple controls all of these elements in sync, ensuring the system operates cohesively across trend, volatility, and smoothing components.
Features and User Inputs
The "Hedge Fund D. Multiple" script is built around the D. Multiple input, which allows traders to control the sensitivity of all components at once. By adjusting this multiplier, users can modify the behavior of the DHMA, DEMA, standard deviation ranges, and percentile-based calculations. Additionally, the script provides custom thresholds for defining trend detection and volatility boundaries, enabling traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and market conditions.
Practical Applications
The "Hedge Fund D. Multiple" indicator is particularly valuable for professional traders and hedge fund managers who require an efficient yet powerful tool for analyzing market trends and volatility. The D. Multiple simplifies the process of adjusting multiple parameters simultaneously, giving traders greater control over their analysis. This makes the indicator especially effective for:
Adjusting Sensitivity to Market Conditions: The D. Multiple allows traders to fine-tune the entire system’s sensitivity with a single input, enabling them to switch between short-term and long-term analysis easily.
Trend Detection and Reversal Signals: The dynamic median and volatility-adjusted boundaries help provide clear signals when the market is overbought or oversold, improving the accuracy of trend reversal detection.
Managing Volatility in Sync: The D. Multiple controls the volatility measurements and ensures they are synchronized with the trend detection methods, giving traders a clearer view of the market’s risk profile and helping them time their entries and exits more effectively.

Sma Standard Deviation | viResearchSma Standard Deviation | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Sma Standard Deviation" indicator from viResearch combines the benefits of Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing with Standard Deviation (SD) analysis, offering traders a powerful tool for understanding price trends and volatility. The SMA provides a straightforward approach to trend detection by calculating the average price over a defined period, while the SD component adds insight into the market's volatility by measuring the variation of prices around the SMA. This combination helps traders identify whether the price is moving within a typical range or deviating significantly, which can signal potential trend shifts or periods of increased volatility. By using both SMA and SD together, this indicator enhances the trader's ability to detect not only the trend direction but also how strongly the market is deviating from that trend, offering more informed decision-making.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Sma Standard Deviation" script uses two key elements: the Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Standard Deviation (SD). The SMA is calculated over a user-defined length and represents the smoothed average price over this period. The script also incorporates DEMA smoothing applied to different price sources, providing further refinement to the trend analysis. The SD is calculated by measuring the deviation of the price from the SMA over a separate user-defined length, showing how volatile the price is relative to its average. The script generates upper and lower SD boundaries by adding and subtracting the SD from the SMA, creating a volatility-adjusted range for the price. This allows traders to visualize whether the price is moving within expected bounds or breaking out of its typical range. The script monitors crossovers between the DEMA, SMA, and SD boundaries, generating trend signals based on these interactions.
Features and User Inputs
The "Sma Standard Deviation" script offers several customizable inputs, allowing traders to adjust the indicator to their specific strategies. The SMA Length controls the period for which the moving average is calculated, while the SD Length defines how long the period is for measuring price deviation. Additionally, the DEMA smoothing length can be adjusted for both the trend and standard deviation calculations, giving traders control over how responsive or smooth they want the indicator to be. The script also includes alert conditions that notify traders when trend shifts occur, either to the upside or downside.
Practical Applications
The "Sma Standard Deviation" indicator is designed for traders who want to analyze both market trends and volatility in a unified tool. The combination of the SMA and SD helps traders identify potential trend reversals, as large deviations from the SMA can indicate periods of increased volatility that precede significant price moves. This makes the indicator particularly effective for identifying trend reversals, managing volatility, and improving trend-following strategies. By analyzing when the price moves outside the volatility-adjusted range defined by the SD, traders can detect early signals of potential trend reversals. The SD component helps traders understand how volatile the market is relative to its average price, allowing for more informed decisions in both trending and volatile market conditions. The dual use of DEMA and SMA smoothing allows for a clearer trend signal, helping traders stay aligned with the prevailing market direction while managing the noise caused by short-term volatility.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Sma Standard Deviation" script offers significant value by integrating both trend detection and volatility analysis into a single tool. The use of SMA for smoothing price trends, combined with the SD for assessing price volatility, provides a more comprehensive view of the market. This dual approach helps traders filter out false signals caused by short-term fluctuations while identifying potential trend changes driven by increased volatility. This makes the "Sma Standard Deviation" indicator ideal for traders seeking a balance between trend-following and volatility management.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when significant trend shifts occur based on price crossovers with the SMA and SD boundaries. The "Sma Standard Deviation Long" alert is triggered when the price crosses above the upper volatility boundary, indicating a potential upward trend. Conversely, the "Sma Standard Deviation Short" alert signals a possible downward trend when the price crosses below the lower boundary. Visual cues, such as changes in the color of the SMA line, help traders quickly identify trend shifts and act accordingly.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Sma Standard Deviation | viResearch" indicator provides traders with a robust tool for analyzing market trends and volatility. By combining the benefits of SMA smoothing with SD analysis, this script offers a comprehensive approach to detecting trend changes and managing risk.

Deviation Adjusted MA Overview
The Deviation Adjusted MA is a custom indicator that enhances traditional moving average techniques by introducing a volatility-based adjustment. This adjustment is implemented by incorporating the standard deviation of price data, making the moving average more adaptive to market conditions. The key feature is the combination of a customizable moving average (MA) type and the application of deviation percentage to modify its responsiveness. Additionally, a smoothing layer is applied to reduce noise, improving signal clarity.
Key Components
Customizable Moving Averages
The script allows the user to select from four different types of moving averages:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): A basic average of the closing prices over a specified period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to recent price changes.
Weighted Moving Average (WMA): Weights prices differently, favoring more recent ones but in a linear progression.
Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): Adjusts the average by trading volume, placing more weight on high-volume periods.
Standard Deviation Calculation
The script calculates the standard deviation of the closing prices over the selected maLength period.
Standard deviation measures the dispersion or volatility of price movements, giving a sense of market volatility.
Deviation Percentage and Adjustment
Deviation Percentage is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the base moving average and multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage.
The base moving average is adjusted by this deviation percentage, making the indicator responsive to changes in volatility. The result is a more dynamic moving average that adapts to market conditions.
The parameter devMultiplier is available to scale this adjustment, allowing further fine-tuning of sensitivity.
Smoothing the Adjusted Moving Average
After adjusting the moving average based on deviation, the script applies an additional Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a length defined by the smoothingLength input.
This EMA serves as a smoothing filter to reduce the noise that could arise from the raw adjustments of the moving average. The smoothing makes trend recognition more consistent and removes short-term fluctuations that could otherwise distort the signal.
Use cases
The Deviation Adjusted MA indicator serves as a dynamic alternative to traditional moving averages by adjusting its sensitivity based on volatility. The script offers extensive customization options through the selection of moving average type and the parameters controlling smoothing and deviation adjustments.
By applying these adjustments and smoothing, the script enables users to better track trends and price movements, while providing a visual cue for changes in market sentiment.

Z-Score AggregatorOverview:
This indicator is designed to take multiple other indicators as inputs, calculate their respective Z-scores, and then aggregate these Z-scores to provide a comprehensive measure. By transforming the inputs into Z-scores, this indicator standardizes the data, enabling a more accurate comparison across different indicators, each of which may have different scales and distributions.
This indicator is beneficial for Mean-Reversion style trading and investing as it standardizes indicators and lets them work together in one system.
The Z-score, which represents how many standard deviations an element is from the mean, is a crucial statistical tool in this process. It allows the indicator to normalize the varying data points, ensuring that each indicator's contribution to the aggregate score is proportional to its deviation from the average performance.
Inputs:
Z-score length: How far Back it will take into account the inputs
Number Of Sources: This is to set the number of inputs the indicator uses so it calculates them properly and uses only the number of indicators you want.
Source Inputs: 1-10 inputs (no need to use them all as long as you set the number of used indicators beforehand).
Note:
There are three indicators used in this example which are CCI, RSI and Sharpe Ratio. The indicator calculates their individual Z-scores and takes an average. Because Number Of Sources is set to 3 it only uses the first 3 indicators in use.
VPSA - Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I am pleased to present the latest version of my indicator, based on the logic of analyzing spread and volume. In this version, the indicator examines spread and volume using min-max normalization. The statistical value is captured through Z-Score standardization, and I have added configurable alerts based on the normalized values of spread, volume, and the sigmas for these variables.
Theory and Evolution of the Indicator
The normalization function used in this program allows for the comparison of two values with different ranges on a single chart. The values that reach the highest within the examined range are assigned a value of one. As in previous versions, I have adopted a bar chart where the wider bar represents volume and the narrower bar represents spread. I believe that using normalization is the most intuitive approach, as the standardization in the earlier sVPSA version could cause confusion. This was due to smaller bars for higher actual values and negative bars, which required additional reliance on actual volume data and significant proficiency in using the indicator. These were limitations stemming from the computational aspect of these issues. As in the previously mentioned script, I also used Z-Score standardization here, which serves as a measure of deviation from the mean. This is visualized in the script as the color of the bars, which in the default configuration are as follows: below one sigma - blue; above one sigma up to two sigmas - green; above two sigmas up to three sigmas - red; and above three sigmas - fuchsia. Additionally, I applied an exponential moving average in this indicator to minimize the influence of older candles on the mean. The indicator has been enhanced with configurable alerts, allowing for substantial control over the conditions triggering them. The alerts enable the definition of normalized variable values and sigma values. Furthermore, the program allows for the definition of logical dependencies for these conditions.
Summary
The program I have developed is a synthesis of the most important and useful functions from the indicators I previously created. The indicator is a standalone and powerful tool that facilitates effective analysis of the spread-volume relationship, which is one of the fundamental methods of analysis according to the Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. The alerts introduced in this version provide extensive possibilities for controlling the dynamics of any market.
Should you encounter any errors or have suggestions regarding the indicator, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you successful analyses! All the best!
