Laguerre-Kalman Adaptive Filter | AlphaNattLaguerre-Kalman Adaptive Filter |AlphaNatt
A sophisticated trend-following indicator that combines Laguerre polynomial filtering with Kalman optimal estimation to create an ultra-smooth, low-lag trend line with exceptional noise reduction capabilities.
"The perfect trend line adapts to market conditions while filtering out noise - this indicator achieves both through advanced mathematical techniques rarely seen in retail trading."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 KEY FEATURES
Dual-Filter Architecture: Combines two powerful filtering methods for superior performance
Adaptive Volatility Adjustment: Automatically adapts to market conditions
Minimal Lag: Laguerre polynomials provide faster response than traditional moving averages
Optimal Noise Reduction: Kalman filtering removes market noise while preserving trend
Clean Visual Design: Color-coded trend visualization (cyan/pink)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 THE MATHEMATICS
1. Laguerre Filter Component
The Laguerre filter uses a cascade of four all-pass filters with a single gamma parameter:
4th order IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter
Single parameter (gamma) controls all filter characteristics
Provides smoother output than EMA with similar lag
Based on Laguerre polynomials from quantum mechanics
2. Kalman Filter Component
Implements a simplified Kalman filter for optimal estimation:
Prediction-correction algorithm from aerospace engineering
Dynamically adjusts based on estimation error
Provides mathematically optimal estimate of true price trend
Reduces noise while maintaining responsiveness
3. Adaptive Mechanism
Monitors market volatility in real-time
Adjusts filter parameters based on current conditions
More responsive in trending markets
More stable in ranging markets
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ INDICATOR SETTINGS
Laguerre Gamma (0.1-0.99): Controls filter smoothness. Higher = smoother but more lag
Adaptive Period (5-100): Lookback for volatility calculation
Kalman Noise Reduction (0.1-2.0): Higher = more noise filtering
Trend Threshold (0.0001-0.01): Minimum change to register trend shift
Recommended Settings:
Scalping: Gamma: 0.6, Period: 10, Noise: 0.3
Day Trading: Gamma: 0.8, Period: 20, Noise: 0.5 (default)
Swing Trading: Gamma: 0.9, Period: 30, Noise: 0.8
Position Trading: Gamma: 0.95, Period: 50, Noise: 1.2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 TRADING SIGNALS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND
The Laguerre filter was developed by John Ehlers, applying Laguerre polynomials (used in quantum mechanics) to financial markets. These polynomials provide an elegant solution to the lag-smoothness tradeoff that plagues traditional moving averages.
The Kalman filter, developed by Rudolf Kalman in 1960, is used in everything from GPS systems to spacecraft navigation. It provides the mathematically optimal estimate of a system's state given noisy measurements.
By combining these two approaches, this indicator achieves what neither can alone: a smooth, responsive trend line that adapts to market conditions while filtering out noise.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
Confirm with Volume: Strong trends should have increasing volume
Multiple Timeframes: Use higher timeframe for trend, lower for entry
Combine with Momentum: RSI or MACD can confirm filter signals
Market Conditions: Adjust noise parameter based on market volatility
Backtesting: Always test settings on your specific instrument

Divergence helps you catch early reversals.
Volume + RSI & MA Differential"Volume + RSI & MA Differential," integrates volume, RSI, and moving average differentials to generate trading signals. The script calculates a 14-period RSI to identify overbought or oversold conditions, with customizable thresholds for buy and sell signals. It also computes a 20-period SMA of the volume to smooth out trading activity data, helping to identify trends in market participation.
The script incorporates a fast (50-period) and a slow (200-period) SMA to analyze short-term and long-term trends, respectively. The differential between these moving averages, adjusted by the volume SMA, is used to identify potential trend changes or confirmations. Bars are colored yellow when the RSI is below the buy threshold and volume is high, indicating a potential buy signal. Conversely, bars turn red when the RSI is above the sell threshold and the fast MA is below the current close price, suggesting a potential sell signal. Neutral conditions result in grey bars.
Additionally, the script uses color-coding to plot the volume SMA and a line that changes color based on the moving average differential. A black line indicates a broadening MA cloud and a bullish trend, while a grey line suggests a narrowing MA cloud and a potential selloff. A yellow line signals the beginning of a buyback. This visual representation helps traders quickly identify potential trading opportunities and trend changes, making the script a valuable tool for technical analysis.
Sniper Swing — Short TF (Clean Signals) [v6]📘 How to Use the Sniper Swing Indicator
1. What It Does
It looks for short-term swing breaks in price.
It uses an oscillator (RSI/Stoch) and swing pivots to confirm moves.
It gives you 3 clear signals only:
BUY → Enter long (expecting price to go up).
Gay bear → Enter short (expecting price to go down).
EXIT → Close your trade (long or short).
Candles also change color:
Green = in a BUY trade.
Red = in a Gay bear trade.
Neutral (gray/none) = no trade.
2. When to Use
Works best on short timeframes (1m–5m) for scalping/intraday.
Use on liquid markets (MES/ES, NQ, SPY, BTC, ETH).
Avoid dead hours with no volume (like overnight futures lull or midday chop).
3. How to Trade With It
A. BUY trade
Wait for a BUY triangle below the candle.
Confirm:
Candle turned green.
Price broke a recent swing high.
Oscillator shows strength (indicator does this for you).
Enter long at the close of that candle.
Place your stop-loss:
At the yellow stop line (auto trailing stop), or
Just below the last swing low.
Stay in while candles are green.
Exit when:
An orange X appears, or
Price hits your stop.
B. Gay bear (short) trade
Wait for a Gay bear triangle above the candle.
Confirm:
Candle turned red.
Price broke a recent swing low.
Oscillator shows weakness.
Enter short at the close of that candle.
Place stop-loss:
At the yellow stop line, or
Just above the last swing high.
Stay in while candles are red.
Exit on an orange X or stop hit.
4. Pro Tips for New Traders
Only take one signal at a time → don’t double dip.
Quality > Quantity: ignore weak, sideways markets. Best signals happen during trends.
Start small: trade micros (MES) or small position sizes.
Use alerts: set TradingView alerts for BUY/Gay bear/EXIT so you don’t miss setups.
Think of the indicator like a navigator: it tells you the likely path, but you’re the driver → always manage risk.
5. Quick Mental Checklist
Signal? (BUY or Gay bear triangle)
Confirmed? (candle color + swing break)
Enter? (on close)
Stop? (yellow line or swing)
Exit? (orange X or stop)
PumpC ATR Line LevelsPumpC ATR Line Levels
Overview
PumpC ATR Line Levels is a volatility-based indicator that projects potential expansion levels from the previous session’s close using the Average True Range (ATR). This tool builds upon the Previous OHLC framework created by Nephew_Sam_ by extending its session-handling logic and adding ATR-based levels, statistical tracking, and flexible visualization options.
How It Works
Calculates ATR from a user-selectable higher timeframe (default: Daily).
Projects levels above and below the previous session’s close (or current close when preview mode is enabled).
Supports up to 5 ATR multiples, each with independent toggles, colors, and labels.
Optionally displays only the most recent ATR session for clarity.
Includes a data table tracking how often ATR levels are reached or closed beyond.
Features
Configurable ATR timeframe and length (default: 21).
Default multiples: 0.30, 0.60, 0.90; optional: 1.236, 2.00.
Toggle for preview mode (using current close vs. locked prior session close).
Customizable line style, width, colors, and label placement.
Visibility filter to show only on chart TF ≤ 60 minutes.
Session statistics table with counts and percentages of level interactions.
Use Cases
Identify intraday expansion targets or stop placement zones based on volatility.
Evaluate historical tendencies of price respecting or breaking ATR bands.
Support volatility-adjusted trade planning with statistical validation.
Acknowledgment
This script was developed on top of the Previous OHLC indicator by Nephew_Sam_ , with major modifications to implement ATR-driven levels, extended statistics, and customizable table output.
Notes
This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals.
Best applied to intraday charts anchored to a higher-timeframe ATR.
Keep charts clean and avoid non-standard bar types when publishing.
Theil-Sen Line Filter [BackQuant]Theil-Sen Line Filter
A robust, median-slope baseline that tracks price while resisting outliers. Designed for the chart pane as a clean, adaptive reference line with optional candle coloring and slope-flip alerts.
What this is
A trend filter that estimates the underlying slope of price using a Theil-Sen style median of past slopes, then advances a baseline by a controlled fraction of that slope each bar. The result is a smooth line that reacts to real directional change while staying calm through noise, gaps, and single-bar shocks.
Why Theil-Sen
Classical moving averages are sensitive to outliers and shape changes. Ordinary least squares is sensitive to large residuals. The Theil-Sen idea replaces a single fragile estimate with the median of many simple slopes, which is statistically robust and less influenced by a few extreme bars. That makes the baseline steadier in choppy conditions and cleaner around regime turns.
What it plots
Filtered baseline that advances by a fraction of the robust slope each bar.
Optional candle coloring by baseline slope sign for quick trend read.
Alerts when the baseline slope turns up or down.
How it behaves (high level)
Looks back over a fixed window and forms many “current vs past” bar-to-bar slopes.
Takes the median of those slopes to get a robust estimate for the bar.
Optionally caps the magnitude of that per-bar slope so a single volatile bar cannot yank the line.
Moves the baseline forward by a user-controlled fraction of the estimated slope. Lower fractions are smoother. Higher fractions are more responsive.
Inputs and what they do
Price Source — the series the filter tracks. Typical is close; HL2 or HLC3 can be smoother.
Window Length — how many bars to consider for slopes. Larger windows are steadier and slower. Smaller windows are quicker and noisier.
Response — fraction of the estimated slope applied each bar. 1.00 follows the robust slope closely; values below 1.00 dampen moves.
Slope Cap Mode — optional guardrail on each bar’s slope:
None — no cap.
ATR — cap scales with recent true range.
Percent — cap scales with price level.
Points — fixed absolute cap in price points.
ATR Length / Mult, Cap Percent, Cap Points — tune the chosen cap mode’s size.
UI Settings — show or hide the line, paint candles by slope, choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Up-slope baseline and green candles indicate a rising robust trend. Pullbacks that do not flip the slope often resolve in trend direction.
Down-slope baseline and red candles indicate a falling robust trend. Bounces against the slope are lower-probability until proven otherwise.
Flat or frequent flips suggest a range. Increase window length or decrease response if you want fewer whipsaws in sideways markets.
Use cases
Bias filter — only take longs when slope is up, shorts when slope is down. It is a simple way to gate faster setups.
Stop or trail reference — use the line as a trailing guide. If price closes beyond the line and the slope flips, consider reducing exposure.
Regime detector — widen the window on higher timeframes to define major up vs down regimes for asset rotation or risk toggles.
Noise control — enable a cap mode in very volatile symbols to retain the line’s continuity through event bars.
Tuning guidance
Quick swing trading — shorter window, higher response, optionally add a percent cap to keep it stable on large moves.
Position trading — longer window, moderate response. ATR cap tends to scale well across cycles.
Low-liquidity or gappy charts — prefer longer window and a points or ATR cap. That reduces jumpiness around discontinuities.
Alerts included
Theil-Sen Up Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses above zero.
Theil-Sen Down Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses below zero.
Strengths
Robust to outliers through median-based slope estimation.
Continuously advances with price rather than re-anchoring, which reduces lag at turns.
User-selectable slope caps to tame shock bars without over-smoothing everything.
Minimal visuals with optional candle painting for fast regime recognition.
Notes
This is a filter, not a trading system. It does not account for execution, spreads, or gaps. Pair it with entry logic, risk management, and higher-timeframe context if you plan to use it for decisions.
TEMA Ribbon 9/13/15/21 – Smooth trend shifts, less lag, clearer“TEMA Ribbon 9/13/15/21 – Smooth trend shifts, less lag, clearer bias.”
Plots four Triple Exponential Moving Averages (9, 13, 15, 21) with shaded zones for quick trend visualization. Helps identify short- vs. medium-term momentum shifts with reduced lag compared to standard EMAs.
Recommended Usage:
Best applied on 5M–1H intraday charts for momentum and trend confirmation.
Use the 9 & 13 TEMA for short-term momentum shifts.
Use the 15 & 21 TEMA for medium-term bias.
Look for crossovers and alignment (all fast TEMAs above/below slow ones) to confirm bullish or bearish conditions.
Shaded zones help visualize when the short- and medium-term trends converge or diverge, signaling potential entry or exit points.
Combine the TEMA Ribbon with VWAP or session-based trading (e.g., London/New York Killzones) to filter signals.
Trade only in the direction of VWAP bias (price above VWAP → favor longs, below → favor shorts).
Within Killzones, use TEMA alignment (9/13 above 15/21 = bullish trend, or opposite for bearish) as confirmation before entries.
This reduces false signals and locks entries to periods of high liquidity and volatility, where TEMA shines.

Range Trading Strategy
This indicator automatically marks the intraday trading range defined by the first four hours of the New York session (6:00 AM to 10:00 AM EST/EDT).
It calculates the highest high and lowest low within that window on a user-selected calculation timeframe, then projects those levels forward as horizontal lines that remain visible across any chart timeframe.
The lines can be displayed in real time while the window is forming or locked once the session ends, and optional price labels and background shading make the range easy to track.
Traders can use these reference levels to monitor potential breakout or reversal zones, manage risk, and plan entries/exits relative to the early session’s defined support and resistance.

AVWAP+RSI Confluence — 1R TesterRSI + 1R ATR - Monthly P\&L (v4)
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES (OVERVIEW)
* Pine strategy (v4) that combines a simple momentum trigger with a symmetric 1R ATR risk model and an on-chart Monthly/Yearly P\&L table.
* Momentum filter: trades only when RSI crosses its own SMA in the direction of the trend (price vs Trend EMA).
* Risk engine: exits use fixed 1R ATR brackets captured at entry (no drifting targets/stops).
* Accounting: the table aggregates percentage returns by month and year using strategy equity.
ENTRY LOGIC (LONGS & OPTIONAL SHORTS)
Indicators used:
* RSI(rsiLen) and its SMA: SMA(RSI, rsiMaLen)
* Trend filter: EMA(emaTrendLen) on price
Longs:
1. RSI crosses above its RSI SMA
2. RSI > rsiBuyThr (filters weak momentum)
3. Close > EMA(emaTrendLen)
Shorts (optional via enableShort):
1. RSI crosses below its RSI SMA
2. RSI < rsiSellThr
3. Close < EMA(emaTrendLen)
EXIT LOGIC AND RISK MODEL (1R ATR)
* On entry, snapshot ATR(atrLen) into atrAtEntry and the average fill price into entryPx.
* Longs: stop = entryPx - ATR \* atrMult; target = entryPx + ATR \* atrMult
* Shorts: mirrored.
* Stops and targets are posted immediately and remain fixed for the life of the trade.
POSITION SIZING AND COSTS
* Default position size: 25% of equity per trade (adjustable in Properties/inputs).
* Commission percent and a small slippage are set in strategy() so backtests include friction by default.
MONTHLY / YEARLY P\&L TABLE (HOW IT WORKS)
* Uses strategy equity to compute bar returns: equity / equity\ - 1.
* Compounds bar returns into current month and current year; commits each finished period at month/year change (or last bar).
* Renders rows as years; columns Jan..Dec plus a Year total column.
* Cells colored by sign; precision and maximum rows are controlled by inputs.
* Values represent percentage returns, not currency P\&L.
VISUAL AIDS
* Two pivot trails (pivot high/low) are plotted for context only; they do not affect entries or exits.
CUSTOMIZATION TIPS
* Raise rsiBuyThr (long) or lower rsiSellThr (short) to filter weak momentum.
* Increase emaTrendLen to tighten trend alignment.
* Adjust atrLen and atrMult to fit your timeframe/instrument volatility.
* Leave enableShort = false if you prefer long-only behavior or shorting is constrained.
NON-REPAINTING AND BACKTEST NOTES
* Signals use bar-close crosses of built-in indicators (RSI, EMA, ATR); no future bars are referenced.
* calc\_on\_every\_tick = true for responsive visuals; Strategy Tester evaluates on bar close in history.
* Backtest stop/limit fills are simulated and may differ from live execution/liquidity.
DISCLAIMERS
* Educational use only. This is not financial advice. Markets involve risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

ActivTrades Europe Market Pulse – Ion JaureguiActivTrades Europe Market Pulse Indicator – Detailed Description
The ActivTrades Europe Market Pulse Indicator is a market analysis tool designed to assess overall risk sentiment in European financial markets. Unlike trading signals, it provides a clear view of market conditions, helping traders and analysts understand whether the market environment favors risk-taking or caution.
How it Works:
The indicator combines three key metrics to gauge European market sentiment:
1. Equity Index and Sector Performance:
o Compares the relative position of major European equity indices and sector ETFs to their 50-day moving averages.
o A performance above the moving average signals market strength, while below indicates relative weakness, reflecting investors’ appetite for risk.
2. German 10-Year Government Bond Yield:
o Monitors the level of the German 10-year bond yield relative to its 10-day moving average.
o Yields above the moving average indicate greater confidence and risk tolerance, while yields below suggest caution or risk aversion.
3. Point-Based Scoring System:
o Each instrument is assigned points depending on whether it is above or below its moving average.
o Points are combined to generate an overall Risk-On/Risk-Off score, which oscillates between -5 (Extreme Risk-Off) and +5 (Extreme Risk-On), providing a quantitative measure of European market sentiment.
Visual Output:
• The results are displayed as a colored histogram, allowing quick interpretation of market conditions.
• Labeled zones include:
o Extreme Risk-On: Indicates bullish conditions with high risk appetite.
o Extreme Risk-Off: Reflects heightened market caution or fear.
o Neutral Zone: Suggests mixed or balanced sentiment.
Purpose and Use:
• Provides investors, analysts, and traders with insight into the prevailing European market mood.
• Supports informed decision-making and risk management strategies without offering explicit buy or sell signals.

Settings:
Vol Lookback: Default is 20 periods. Adjust to change the volatility calculation window.
Interpretation:
Cloud Bands: The cloud consists of three shaded layers representing 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ moves above and below the current price.
1σ (Innermost): 68% probability of price staying within this range.
2σ (Middle): 95% probability.
3σ (Outermost): 99.7% probability.
Historical View: The cloud tracks past price movements based on volatility.
Projection: The cloud extends 7 days forward, indicating potential price ranges based on current volatility.
Labels: Subtle labels (1σ, -1σ, 2σ, -2σ, 3σ, -3σ) mark the upper and lower bounds of each sigma level on the latest bar for clarity.
Trading Use:
Use the cloud to gauge potential support/resistance zones.
Monitor price behavior near sigma levels for breakout or reversal signals.
The projected cloud helps anticipate future price ranges for planning trades.

Candle Spread + ATR SMA Analysis
This indicator combines elements from two popular open-source scripts — Candle Range Compare
by @oldinvestor
and Objective Analysis of Spread (VSA)
by @Rin-Nin
— into a single tool for analyzing candle spreads (ranges and bodies) in relation to volatility benchmarks.
🔎 What It Does
Candle Decomposition:
Plots total candle ranges (high–low) in gray, for both up and down closes.
Plots up-close bodies (open–close) in white.
Plots down-close bodies in black.
This makes it easy to spot whether volatility comes from real price movement (body) or extended wicks.
ATR & SMA Volatility Bands:
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and overlays it as a black line.
Plots four volatility envelopes derived from the SMA of the true range:
0.8× (blue, shaded)
1.3× (green)
1.8× (red)
3.0× (purple)
Colored fill zones highlight when candle spreads are below, within, or above key thresholds.
Visual Context:
Track expansion/contraction in spreads.
Compare bullish (white) vs bearish (black) bodies to gauge buying/selling pressure.
Identify when candles stretch beyond typical volatility ranges.
📈 How To Use It
VSA context: Wide down bars (black) beyond ATR bands may suggest supply; wide up bars (white) may indicate demand.
Trend confirmation: Expanding ranges above average thresholds (green/red/purple bands) often confirm momentum.
Reversal potential: Small bodies but large ranges (gray + wicks) frequently appear at turning points.
Volatility filter: Use ATR bands to filter trades — e.g., only act when candle ranges exceed 1.3× or 1.8× SMA thresholds.

Double Median ATR Bands | MisinkoMasterThe Double Median ATR Bands is a version of the SuperTrend that is designed to be smoother, more accurate while maintaining a good speed by combining the HMA smoothing technique and the median source.
How does it work?
Very simple!
1. Get user defined inputs:
=> Set them up however you want, for the result you want!
2. Calculate the Median of the source and the ATR
=> Very simple
3. Smooth the median with √length (for example if median length = 9, it would be smoothed over the length of 3 since 3x3 = 9)
4. Add ATR bands like so:
Upper = median + (atr*multiplier)
Lower = median - (atr*multiplier)
Trend Logic:
Source crossing over the upper band = uptrend
Source crossing below the lower band = downtrend

The system applies mathematical weight distribution across price data to ensure clean signal generation while preserving critical trend information, automatically adjusting filter strength based on volatility conditions.
advancedNoiseFilter(sourceData, filterLength, sigmaParam) =>
weightSum = 0.0
valueSum = 0.0
centerPoint = (filterLength - 1) / 2
for index = 0 to filterLength - 1
gaussianWeight = math.exp(-0.5 * math.pow((index - centerPoint) / sigmaParam, 2))
weightSum += gaussianWeight
valueSum += sourceData * gaussianWeight
valueSum / weightSum
🔶 Adaptive Moving Average Core Engine
Features revolutionary volatility-responsive averaging that automatically adjusts smoothing parameters based on real-time market conditions. The engine calculates adaptive power factors using logarithmic scaling and bandwidth optimization, ensuring optimal responsiveness during trending markets while maintaining stability during consolidation phases.
// Calculate adaptive parameters
adaptiveLength = (periodLength - 1) / 2
logFactor = math.max(math.log(math.sqrt(adaptiveLength)) / math.log(2) + 2, 0)
powerFactor = math.max(logFactor - 2, 0.5)
relativeVol = avgVolatility != 0 ? volatilityMeasure / avgVolatility : 0

dynamicChannelEngine(baselineData, channelLength, methodType) =>
switch methodType
"ATR" => ta.atr(channelLength)
"Standard Deviation" => ta.stdev(baselineData, channelLength)
"Gaussian Deviation" =>
weightArray = array.new_float()
totalWeight = 0.0
for i = 0 to channelLength - 1
gaussWeight = math.exp(-math.pow((i / channelLength) / 2, 2))
weightedVariance += math.pow(deviation, 2) * array.get(weightArray, i)
math.sqrt(weightedVariance / totalWeight)

Deadband Hysteresis Filter [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Filter
What this is
This tool builds a “debounced” price baseline that ignores small fluctuations and only reacts when price meaningfully departs from its recent path. It uses a deadband to define how much deviation matters and a hysteresis scheme to avoid rapid flip-flops around the decision boundary. The baseline’s slope provides a simple trend cue, used to color candles and to trigger up and down alerts.
Why deadband and hysteresis help
They filter micro noise so the baseline does not react to every tiny tick.
They stabilize state changes. Hysteresis means the rule to start moving is stricter than the rule to keep holding, which reduces whipsaw.
They produce a stepped, readable path that advances during sustained moves and stays flat during chop.
How it works (conceptual)
At each bar the script maintains a running baseline dbhf and compares it to the input price p .
Compute a base threshold baseTau using the selected mode (ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points).
Build an enter band tauEnter = baseTau × Enter Mult and an exit band tauExit = baseTau × Exit Mult where typically Exit Mult < Enter Mult .
Let diff = p − dbhf .
If diff > +tauEnter , raise the baseline by response × (diff − tauEnter) .
If diff < −tauEnter , lower the baseline by response × (diff + tauEnter) .
Otherwise, hold the prior value.
Trend state is derived from slope: dbhf > dbhf → up trend, dbhf < dbhf → down trend.
Inputs and what they control
Threshold mode
ATR — baseTau = ATR(atrLen) × atrMult . Adapts to volatility. Useful when regimes change.
Percent — baseTau = |price| × pctThresh% . Scale-free across symbols of different prices.
Ticks — baseTau = syminfo.mintick × tickThresh . Good for futures where tick size matters.
Points — baseTau = ptsThresh . Fixed distance in price units.
Band multipliers and response
Enter Mult — outer band. Price must travel at least this far from the baseline before an update occurs. Larger values reject more noise but increase lag.
Exit Mult — inner band for hysteresis. Keep this smaller than Enter Mult to create a hold zone that resists small re-entries.
Response — step size when outside the enter band. Higher response tracks faster; lower response is smoother.
UI settings
Show Filtered Price — plots the baseline on price.
Paint candles — colors bars by the filtered slope using your long/short colors.
How it can be used
Trend qualifier — take entries only in the direction of the baseline slope and skip trades against it.
Debounced crossovers — use the baseline as a stabilized surrogate for price in moving-average or channel crossover rules.
Trailing logic — trail stops a small distance beyond the baseline so small pullbacks do not eject the trade.
Session aware filtering — widen Enter Mult or switch to ATR mode for volatile sessions; tighten in quiet sessions.
Parameter interactions and tuning
Enter Mult vs Response — both govern sensitivity. If you see too many flips, increase Enter Mult or reduce Response. If turns feel late, do the opposite.
Exit Mult — widening the gap between Enter and Exit expands the hold zone and reduces oscillation around the threshold.
Mode choice — ATR adapts automatically; Percent keeps behavior consistent across instruments; Ticks or Points are useful when you think in fixed increments.
Timeframe coupling — on higher timeframes you can often lower Enter Mult or raise Response because raw noise is already reduced.
Concrete starter recipes
General purpose — ATR mode, atrLen=14 , atrMult=1.0–1.5 , Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.5 , Response=0.20 . Balanced noise rejection and lag.
Choppy range filter — ATR mode, increase atrMult to 2.0, keep Response≈0.15 . Stronger suppression of micro-moves.
Fast intraday — Percent mode, pctThresh=0.1–0.3 , Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.4–0.6 , Response=0.30–0.40 . Quicker turns for scalping.
Futures ticks — Ticks mode, set tickThresh to a few spreads beyond typical noise; start with Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.5 , Response=0.25 .
Strengths
Clear, explainable logic with an explicit noise budget.
Multiple threshold modes so the same tool fits equities, futures, and crypto.
Built-in hysteresis that reduces flip-flop near the boundary.
Slope-based coloring and alerts that make state changes obvious in real time.
Limitations and notes
All filters add lag. Larger thresholds and smaller response trade faster reaction for fewer false turns.
Fixed Points or Ticks can under- or over-filter when volatility regime shifts. ATR adapts, but will also expand bands during spikes.
On extremely choppy symbols, even a well tuned band will step frequently. Widen Enter Mult or reduce Response if needed.
This is a chart study. It does not include commissions, slippage, funding, or gap risks.
Alerts
DBHF Up Slope — baseline turns from down to up on the latest bar.
DBHF Down Slope — baseline turns from up to down on the latest bar.
Implementation details worth knowing
Initialization sets the baseline to the first observed price to avoid a cold-start jump.
Slope is evaluated bar-to-bar. The up and down alerts check for a change of slope rather than raw price crossings.
Candle colors and the baseline plot share the same long/short palette with transparency applied to the line.
Practical workflow
Pick a mode that matches how you think about distance. ATR for volatility aware, Percent for scale-free, Ticks or Points for fixed increments.
Tune Enter Mult until the number of flips feels appropriate for your timeframe.
Set Exit Mult clearly below Enter Mult to create a real hold zone.
Adjust Response last to control “how fast” the baseline chases price once it decides to move.
Final thoughts
Deadband plus hysteresis gives you a principled way to “only care when it matters.” With a sensible threshold and response, the filter yields a stable, low-chop trend cue you can use directly for bias or plug into your own entries, exits, and risk rules.
