VXN Stochastic Momentum Index with double EMA smoothingThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It's designed for trading Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ). It uses the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) with double EMA smoothing to measure price momentum relative to the high-low range, combined with the VXN index (CBOE Nasdaq Volatility Index) to filter signals via background color.
SMI: Measures the distance of the price from the midpoint of the high-low range, double-smoothed with EMAs, and scaled to oscillate between -100 and +100. Overbought (+40) and oversold (-40) levels, with extreme max/min levels (+75/-75), help identify potential reversals.
Signals: Bullish signals occur on SMI crossing above the signal line, breaking above the oversold level (-40), or crossing above zero, especially when the VXN background is green (VXN 1-period EMA < 200-period SMA). Bearish signals occur on SMI crossing below the signal line, breaking below the overbought level (+40), or crossing below zero, when the background is red (VXN EMA > SMA).
VXN Filter: When enabled, the background is green (bullish) when VXN EMA < SMA, and red (bearish) when EMA > SMA. Alternatively, zero-line crossovers can set the background (green for SMI > 0, red for SMI < 0).
Usage: Apply this indicator to a Nasdaq futures chart in TradingView’s indicator pane (not overlayed). Use SMI crossovers, overbought/oversold breakouts, or zero-line crossovers for trade signals, confirmed by VXN background (green for long, red for short). Adjust parameters for sensitivity.
Note: Ensure VXN data is available in TradingView to avoid fallback to chart’s close price, which may skew sentiment. Use the debug option to verify VXN data.

Day Zero Fakeout Detector MTFDay Zero Template (Stacey Burke)
Definition:
“Day Zero” is essentially the setup day in Stacey Burke’s playbook.
It’s the day when the market creates a significant inflection — often forming a Peak Formation High (PFH) or Peak Formation Low (PFL).
It usually occurs after 3 days of directional movement (the classic 3-day cycle Stacey teaches).
Example:
Day 1: Breakout expansion.
Day 2: Continuation or consolidation.
Day 3: Exhaustion + reversal (forms PFH/PFL).
Day Zero: The day after this reversal template begins — where traders start looking for measured moves back inside the range.
👉 Day Zero = the transition day where the new weekly cycle (up or down) begins.
2️⃣ Peak Formation Highs (PFH) and Lows (PFL)
A PFH occurs when the market fails above prior highs (often with stop hunts/fakeouts).
A PFL occurs when the market fails below prior lows.
These PFHs/PFLs mark the anchor points for the next 3-day cycle.
Once identified, they become reference levels:
Above PFH → fade long traps (short bias).
Below PFL → fade short traps (long bias).
👉 This is where rectangles (Peter Brandt style) can come in handy to box in the PFH/PFL area.
3️⃣ Peter L. Brandt – Rectangles & Classical Charting
Peter Brandt’s approach (classical charting) complements Stacey’s playbook:
Rectangles are consolidation zones (value areas).
When a PFH or PFL forms, price often consolidates in a rectangle range.
A breakout from that rectangle confirms direction (continuation or reversal).
The measured move target is typically the height of the rectangle projected from the breakout point.
👉 Applied to Day Zero:
PFH/PFL = the extreme boundary of the rectangle.
A breakout from the rectangle in the opposite direction = confirmation of Day Zero reversal.
4️⃣ How They Fit Together
Stacey Burke: Focus on intraday cycles, 3-day cycle, Day Zero as the reset after PFH/PFL.
Peter Brandt: Focus on classical rectangle consolidation and breakout targets.
Integration:
Day Zero = when you’ve spotted a PFH or PFL and are preparing for the new cycle to begin.
Mark the PFH/PFL → draw a rectangle around the consolidation.
Wait for breakout/acceptance beyond rectangle → trade toward measured move (often aligning with Stacey’s Day 1/Day 2 directional bias).
✅ Example in practice:
Monday & Tuesday rally → Wednesday exhaustion → PFH forms.
Thursday = Day Zero (new short bias starting).
Rectangle consolidation forms under PFH.
Breakout below rectangle = signal.
Target = rectangle height measured down → often aligns with yesterday’s lows or prior session value area.

Relative Strength Heat [InvestorUnknown]The Relative Strength Heat (RSH) indicator is a relative strength of an asset across multiple RSI periods through a dynamic heatmap and provides smoothed signals for overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to adjust RSI periods, smoothing methods, and visual settings to suit their trading strategies.
The RSH indicator is particularly useful for identifying momentum shifts and potential reversal points by aggregating RSI data across a range of periods. It presents this data in a visually intuitive heatmap, with color-coded bands indicating overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (gray) conditions. Additionally, it includes signal lines for overbought and oversold indices, which can be smoothed using RAW, SMA, or EMA methods, and a table displaying the current index values.
Features
Dynamic RSI Periods: Calculates RSI across 31 periods, starting from a user-defined base period and incrementing by a specified step.
Heatmap Visualization: Displays RSI strength as a color-coded heatmap, with red for overbought, green for oversold, and gray for neutral zones.
Customizable Smoothing: Offers RAW, SMA, or EMA smoothing for overbought and oversold signals.
Signal Lines: Plots scaled overbought (purple) and oversold (yellow) signal lines with a midline for reference.
Information Table: Displays real-time overbought and oversold index values in a table at the top-right of the chart.
User-Friendly Inputs: Allows customization of RSI source, period ranges, smoothing length, and colors.
How It Works
The RSH indicator aggregates RSI calculations across 31 periods, starting from the user-defined Starting Period and incrementing by the Period Increment. For each period, it computes the RSI and determines whether the asset is overbought (RSI > threshold_ob) or oversold (RSI < threshold_os). These states are stored in arrays (ob_array for overbought, os_array for oversold) and used to generate the following outputs:
Heatmap: The indicator plots 31 horizontal bands, each representing an RSI period. The color of each band is determined by the f_col function:
Red if the RSI for that period is overbought (>threshold_ob).
Green if the RSI is oversold (

Standardized Cumulative Deltas [LuxAlgo]The Standardized Cumulative Deltas tool allows traders to compare the cumulative standardized open-close difference for up to 10 different tickers, allowing them to visualize the general sentiment for all selected tickers.
These results allow the construction of two areas showing the average or extreme bullish and bearish cumulative change for all enabled tickers, providing a summarized view of the overall ticker group sentiment.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is meant to give a full picture of the individuals and/or overall selected tickers, and unlike classical indicators, the displayed series of values is not meant to be directly interpreted over time.
Given the selected lookback period, a majority of observations being above 0 indicate an overall bullish market for the asset.
By default, the auto lookback period feature is enabled, allowing the tool to use all the visible bars for its calculations. Traders can also set the lookback period manually. The above chart uses a fixed lookback period of 500.
Up to 10 tickers can be used. While major cryptocurrencies are set by default, the users can set a specific basket of assets, such as US equities, forex pairs, commodities, etc.
🔹 Densities
The provided areas, here called densities, can be used to get an overall sentiment of the selected tickers. The upper density (bullish) processes positive deltas, while the lower one (bearish) processes negative ones.
Interpretation is subject to the selected "Density Mode".
Average: Densities track the average bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. For example, a more prominent bullish density would indicate that, on average, cumulative deltas were positive across the tickers.
Envelope: Densities track the extreme values made by bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. Here, a more prominent density would indicate more volatile bullish/bearish movements, depending on the density.
🔹 Dashboard
The tool features a dashboard with active tickers and their respective colors for traders' convenience.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Densities
Densities are obtained by applying a forward-backward exponential moving average on the average, or the highest/lowest cumulative series, depending on the selected Density Mode.
The resulting densities are smoothed by the "Smoothing" parameter located in the Settings panel, with higher values returning smoother envelopes with less variability.
Do note that the smoothing method used here is subject to repainting.
🔶 SETTINGS
Lookback: Select the lookback period and enable/disable the Auto Lookback feature
Tickers: Enable/disable and select up to 10 tickers and their colors
Density Mode: Determine how densities are calculated

Use case:
Useful for historical market analysis (e.g., gold, oil, S&P 500), helping traders and researchers see how wars and conflicts align with market movements.
VVIX/VIX Ratio with Interpretation LevelsVVIX/VIX Ratio with Interpretation Levels
This indicator plots the ratio of VVIX (Volatility of Volatility Index) to VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) in a separate panel.
The ratio highlights when the options market is pricing unusually high volatility in volatility (VVIX) relative to the base volatility index (VIX).
Ratio < 5 → Complacency: Markets expect stability; often a pre-shock zone.
5–6 → Tension Building: Traders begin hedging volatility risk while VIX remains low.
6–7 → Elevated Risk: Divergence warns of potential regime change in volatility.
> 7 → High-Risk Zone: Options market pricing aggressive swings; can precede volatility spikes in equities.
The script also includes dashed interpretation lines (5, 6, 7) and automatic labels when key thresholds are crossed.
Background shading helps visualize current regime.
Use cases:
Detect hidden stress when VIX remains calm but VVIX rises.
Anticipate potential volatility regime shifts.
Support risk management and timing of long/short volatility strategies.
Pi Cycle OscillatorThis oscillator combines the Pi Cycle Top indicator with a percentile-based approach to create a more precise and easy to read market timing tool.
Instead of waiting for moving average crossovers, it shows you exactly how close you are to a potential market top.
Orange background means you should start preparing for a potential top and look into taking profits.
Red background means that the crossover has happened on the original Pi Cycle Indicator and that you should have already sold everything. (Crossover of the gray line aka 100)

Market Cap Landscape 3DHello, traders and creators! 👋
Market Cap Landscape 3D. This project is more than just a typical technical analysis tool; it's an exploration into what's possible when code meets artistry on the financial charts. It's a demonstration of how we can transcend flat, two-dimensional lines and step into a vibrant, three-dimensional world of data.
This project continues a journey that began with a previous 3D experiment, the T-Virus Sentiment, which you can explore here:
The Market Cap Landscape 3D builds on that foundation, visualizing market data—particularly crypto market caps—as a dynamic 3D mountain range. The entire landscape is procedurally generated and rendered in real-time using the powerful drawing capabilities of polyline.new() and line.new() , pushed to their creative limits.
This work is intended as a guide and a design example for all developers, born from the spirit of learning and a deep love for understanding the Pine Script™ language.
---
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
The indicator synthesizes multiple layers of information into a single, cohesive 3D scene:
The Surface: The mountain range itself is a procedurally generated 3D mesh. Its peaks and valleys create a rich, textured landscape that serves as the canvas for our data.
Crypto Data Integration: The core feature is its ability to fetch market cap data for a list of cryptocurrencies you provide. It then sorts them in descending order and strategically places them onto the 3D surface.
The Summit: The highest point on the mountain is reserved for the asset with the #1 market cap in your list, visually represented by a flag and a custom emblem.
The Mountain Labels: The other assets are distributed across the mountainside, with their rank determining their general elevation. This creates an intuitive visual hierarchy.
The Leaderboard Pole: For clarity, a dedicated pole in the back-right corner provides a clean, ranked list of the symbols and their market caps, ensuring the data is always easy to read.

🚀 How to Use
Getting started with the Market Cap Landscape 3D:
Add to Chart: Apply the "Market Cap Landscape 3D" indicator to your active chart.
Open Settings: Double-click anywhere on the 3D landscape or click the "Settings" icon next to the indicator's name.
Customize Your Crypto List: The most important setting is in the Crypto Data tab. In the "Symbols" text area, enter a comma-separated list of the crypto tickers you want to visualize (e.g., BTC,ETH,SOL,XRP ). The indicator supports up to 40 unique symbols.
> Important Note: This indicator exclusively uses TradingView's `CRYPTOCAP` data source. To find valid symbols, use the main symbol search bar on your chart. Type `CRYPTOCAP:` (including the colon) and you will see a list of available options. For example, typing `CRYPTOCAP:BTC` will confirm that `BTC` is a valid ticker for the indicator's settings. Using symbols that do not exist in the `CRYPTOCAP` index will result in a script error. or, to display other symbols, simply type CRYPTOCAP: (including the colon) and you will see a list of available options.
Adjust Your View: Use the settings in the Camera & Projection tab to rotate ( Yaw ), tilt ( Pitch ), and scale the landscape until you find a view you love.

👨💻 Developer's Corner: Modifying the Core Logic
If you're a developer and wish to customize the indicator's core data source, this section is for you. The script is designed to be modular, making it easy to change what data is being ranked and visualized.
The heart of the data retrieval and ranking logic is within the f_getSortedCryptoData() function. Here’s how you can modify it:
1. Changing the Data Source (from Market Cap to something else):
The current logic uses request.security("CRYPTOCAP:" + syms.get(i), ...) to fetch market capitalization data. To change this, you need to modify this line.
Example: Ranking by RSI (14) on the Daily timeframe.
First, you'll need a function to calculate RSI. Add this function to the script:
f_getRSI(symbol, timeframe, length) =>
request.security(symbol, timeframe, ta.rsi(close, length))
Then, inside f_getSortedCryptoData() , find the `for` loop that populates the `caps` array and replace the `request.security` call:
// OLD LINE:
// caps.set(i, request.security("CRYPTOCAP:" + syms.get(i), timeframe.period, close))
// NEW LINE for RSI:
// Note: You'll need to decide how to format the symbol name (e.g., "BINANCE:" + syms.get(i) + "USDT")
caps.set(i, f_getRSI("BINANCE:" + syms.get(i) + "USDT", "D", 14))
2. Changing the Data Formatting:
The ranking values are formatted for display using the f_fmtCap() function, which currently formats large numbers into "M" (millions), "B" (billions), etc.
If you change the data source to something like RSI, you'll want to change the formatting. You can modify f_fmtCap() or create a new formatting function.
Example: Formatting for RSI.
// Modify f_fmtCap or create f_fmtRSI
f_fmtRSI(float v) =>
str.tostring(v, "#.##") // Simply format to two decimal places
Remember to update the calls to this function in the main drawing loop where the labels are created (e.g., str.format("{0}: {1}", crypto.symbol, f_fmtCap(crypto.cap)) ).
By modifying these key functions ( f_getSortedCryptoData and f_fmtCap ), you can adapt the Market Cap Landscape 3D to visualize and rank almost any dataset you can imagine, from technical indicators to fundamental data.

We hope you enjoy using the Market Cap Landscape 3D as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy charting! ✨
Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands [CHE] Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands
Part 1 — Mathematics and Algorithmic Design
Purpose. The indicator estimates distribution‐aware price levels from a rolling window and turns them into dynamic “buy” and “sell” bands. It can work on raw price or on *residuals* around a baseline to better isolate deviations from trend. Optionally, the percentile parameter $q$ adapts to volatility via ATR so the bands widen in turbulent regimes and tighten in calm ones. A compact, latched state machine converts these statistical levels into high-quality discretionary signals.
Data pipeline.
1. Choose a source (default `close`; MTF optional via `request.security`).
2. Optionally compute a baseline (`SMA` or `EMA`) of length $L$.
3. Build the *working series*: raw price if residual mode is off; otherwise price minus baseline (if a baseline exists).
4. Maintain a FIFO buffer of the last $N$ values (window length). All quantiles are computed on this buffer.
5. Map the resulting levels back to price space if residual mode is on (i.e., add back the baseline).
6. Smooth levels with a short EMA for readability.
Rolling quantiles.
Given the buffer $X_{t-N+1..t}$ and a percentile $q\in $, the indicator sorts a copy of the buffer ascending and linearly interpolates between adjacent ranks to estimate:
* Buy band $\approx Q(q)$
* Sell band $\approx Q(1-q)$
* Median $Q(0.5)$, plus optional deciles $Q(0.10)$ and $Q(0.90)$
Quantiles are robust to outliers relative to means. The estimator uses only data up to the current bar’s value in the buffer; there is no look-ahead.
Residual transform (optional).
In residual mode, quantiles are computed on $X^{res}_t = \text{price}_t - \text{baseline}_t$. This centers the distribution and often yields more stationary tails. After computing $Q(\cdot)$ on residuals, levels are transformed back to price space by adding the baseline. If `Baseline = None`, residual mode simply falls back to raw price.
Volatility-adaptive percentile.
Let $\text{ATR}_{14}(t)$ be current ATR and $\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}(t)$ its long SMA. Define a volatility ratio $r = \text{ATR}_{14}/\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}$. The effective quantile is:
Smoothing.
Each level is optionally smoothed by an EMA of length $k$ for cleaner visuals. This smoothing does not change the underlying quantile logic; it only stabilizes plots and signals.
Latched state machines.
Two three-step processes convert levels into “latched” signals that only fire after confirmation and then reset:
* BUY latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses above the median →
(2) the median is rising →
(3) HLC3 prints above the upper (orange) band → BUY latched.
* SELL latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses below the median →
(2) the median is falling →
(3) HLC3 prints below the lower (teal) band → SELL latched.
Labels are drawn on the latch bar, with a FIFO cap to limit clutter. Alerts are available for both the simple band interactions and the latched events. Use “Once per bar close” to avoid intrabar churn.
MTF behavior and repainting.
MTF sourcing uses `lookahead_off`. Quantiles and baselines are computed from completed data only; however, any *intrabar* cross conditions naturally stabilize at close. As with all real-time indicators, values can update during a live bar; prefer bar-close alerts for reliability.
Complexity and parameters.
Each bar sorts a copy of the $N$-length window (practical $N$ values keep this inexpensive). Typical choices: $N=50$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–$0.25$, $k=2$–$5$, baseline length $L=20$ (if used), adaptation strength $s=0.2$–$0.7$.
Part 2 — Practical Use for Discretionary/Active Traders
What the bands mean in practice.
The teal “buy” band marks the lower tail of the recent distribution; the orange “sell” band marks the upper tail. The median is your dynamic equilibrium. In residual mode, these tails are deviations around trend; in raw mode they are absolute price percentiles. When ATR adaptation is on, tails breathe with regime shifts.
Two core playbooks.
1. Mean-reversion around a stable median.
* Context: The median is flat or gently sloped; band width is relatively tight; instrument is ranging.
* Entry (long): Look for price to probe or close below the buy band and then reclaim it, especially after HLC3 recrosses the median and the median turns up.
* Stops: Place beyond the most recent swing low or $1.0–1.5\times$ ATR(14) below entry.
* Targets: First scale at the median; optional second scale near the opposite band. Trail with the median or an ATR stop.
* Symmetry: Mirror the rules for shorts near the sell band when the median is flat to down.
2. Continuation with latched confirmations.
* Context: A developing trend where you want fewer but cleaner signals.
* Entry (long): Take the latched BUY (3-step confirmation) on close, or on the next bar if you require bar-close validation.
* Invalidation: A close back below the median (or below the lower band in strong trends) negates momentum.
* Exits: Trail under the median for conservative exits or under the teal band for trend-following exits. Consider scaling at structure (prior swing highs) or at a fixed $R$ multiple.
Parameter guidance by timeframe.
* Scalping / LTF (1–5m): $N=30$–$60$, $q_0=0.20$, $k=2$–3, residual mode on, baseline EMA $L=20$, adaptation $s=0.5$–0.7 to handle micro-vol spikes. Expect more signals; rely on latched logic to filter noise.
* Intraday swing (15–60m): $N=60$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–0.20, $k=3$–4. Residual mode helps but is optional if the instrument trends cleanly. $s=0.3$–0.6.
* Swing / HTF (4H–D): $N=80$–$150$, $q_0=0.10$–0.18, $k=3$–5. Consider `SMA` baseline for smoother residuals and moderate adaptation $s=0.2$–0.4.
Baseline choice.
Use EMA for responsiveness (fast trend shifts) and SMA for stability (smoother residuals). Turning residual mode on is advantageous when price exhibits persistent drift; turning it off is useful when you explicitly want absolute bands.
How to time entries.
Prefer bar-close validation for both band recaptures and latched signals. If you must act intrabar, accept that crosses can “un-cross” before close; compensate with tighter stops or reduced size.
Risk management.
Position size to a fixed fractional risk per trade (e.g., 0.5–1.0% of equity). Define invalidation using structure (swing points) plus ATR. Avoid chasing when distance to the opposite band is small; reward-to-risk degrades rapidly once you are deep inside the distribution.
Combos and filters.
* Pair with a higher-timeframe median slope as a regime filter (trade only in the direction of the HTF median).
* Use band width relative to ATR as a range/trend gauge: unusually narrow bands suggest compression (mean-reversion bias); expanding bands suggest breakout potential (favor latched continuation).
* Volume or session filters (e.g., avoid illiquid hours) can materially improve execution.
Alerts for discretion.
Enable “Cross above Buy Level” / “Cross below Sell Level” for early notices and “Latched BUY/SELL” for conviction entries. Set alerts to “Once per bar close” to avoid noise.
Common pitfalls.
Do not interpret band touches as automatic signals; context matters. A strong trend will often ride the far band (“band walking”) and punish counter-trend fades—use the median slope and latched logic to separate trend from range. Do not oversmooth levels; you will lag breaks. Do not set $q$ too small or too large; extremes reduce statistical meaning and practical distance for stops.
A concise checklist.
1. Is the median flat (range) or sloped (trend)?
2. Is band width expanding or contracting vs ATR?
3. Are we near the tail level aligned with the intended trade?
4. For continuation: did the 3 steps for a latched signal complete?
5. Do stops and targets produce acceptable $R$ (≥1.5–2.0)?
6. Are you trading during liquid hours for the instrument?
Summary. ARQB provides statistically grounded, regime-aware bands and a disciplined, latched confirmation engine. Use the bands as objective context, the median as your equilibrium line, ATR adaptation to stay calibrated across regimes, and the latched logic to time higher-quality discretionary entries.
