Dominance Signal Apex [CHE]]Dominance Signal Apex — Triple-confirmed entry markers with stateful guardrails
Summary
This indicator focuses on entry timing by plotting markers only when three conditions align: a closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, a monotonic stack of super-smoother filters, and the current HMA slope. A compact state machine provides guardrails: it starts a directional state on closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, maintains it only while the smoother stack remains ordered, and renders a marker only if HMA slope agrees. This design aims for selective signals and reduces isolated prints during mixed conditions. Markers fade over time to visualize the age and persistence of the current state.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common triggers flip frequently in noise or react late when regimes shift. The core idea is to gate entry markers through a closed-bar state plus independent filter alignment. The state machine limits premature prints, removes markers when alignment breaks, and uses the HMA as a final directional gate. The result is fewer mixed-context entries and clearer clusters during sustained trends.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Single moving-average slope or classic MA cross signals.
Architecture differences:
Multi-length two-pole super-smoother stack with strict ordering checks.
Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias to start a directional state.
HMA slope as a final gate for rendering markers.
Time-based alpha fade to surface state age.
Practical effect: Entry markers appear in clusters during aligned regimes and are suppressed when conditions diverge, improving selectivity.
How it works (technical)
Measurements: Four recursive super-smoother series on price at short to medium horizons. Up regime means each shorter smoother sits below the next longer one; down regime is the inverse.
State machine: On bar close, positive Heikin-Ashi bias starts a bull state and negative bias starts a bear state. The state terminates the moment the smoother ordering breaks relative to the prior bar.
Rendering gate: A marker prints only if the active state agrees with the current HMA slope. The HMA is plotted and colored by slope for context.
Normalization and clamping: Marker transparency transitions from a starting to an ending alpha across a fixed number of bars, clamped within the allowed range.
Initialization: Persistent variables track state and bar-count since state start; Heikin-Ashi open is seeded on the first valid bar.
HTF/security: None used. State updates are closed-bar, which reduces repaint paths.
Bands: Smoothed high, low, centerline, and offset bands are computed but not rendered.
Parameter Guide
Show Markers — Toggle rendering — Default: true — Hides markers without changing logic.
Bull Color / Bear Color — Visual colors — Defaults: bright green / red — Aesthetic only.
Start Alpha / End Alpha — Transparency range — Defaults: one hundred / fifty, within zero to one hundred — Controls initial visibility and fade endpoint.
Steps — Fade length in bars — Default: eight, minimum one — Longer values extend the visual memory of a state.
Smoother Length — Internal band smoothing — Default: twenty-one, minimum two — Affects computed bands only; not drawn.
Band Multiplier — Internal band offset — Default: one point zero — No impact on markers.
Source — Input for HMA — Default: close — Align with your workflow.
Length — HMA length — Default: fifty, minimum one — Larger values reduce flips; smaller values react faster.
Reading & Interpretation
Entry markers:
Bull marker (below bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is positive, smoother stack remains aligned for up regime, and HMA slope is rising.
Bear marker (above bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is negative, smoother stack remains aligned for down regime, and HMA slope is falling.
Fade: Transparency progresses over the configured steps, indicating how long the current state has persisted.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Focus on marker clusters aligned with HMA color. Add structure filters such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows to avoid counter-trend entries.
Exits/Stops: Consider exiting or reducing risk when smoother ordering breaks, when HMA color flips, or when marker cadence thins out.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Suitable for liquid crypto, FX, indices, and equities. On lower timeframes, shorten HMA length and fade steps for faster response.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: State transitions and marker eligibility are decided on closed bars; live bars do not commit state changes until close.
security()/HTF: Not used.
Resources: Declared max bars back of one thousand five hundred; recursive filters and persistent states; no explicit loops.
Known limits: Some delay around sharp turns; brief states may start in noisy phases but are quickly revoked when alignment fails; HMA gating can miss very early reversals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start here: Keep defaults.
Too many flips: Increase HMA length and raise fade steps.
Too sluggish: Decrease HMA length and reduce fade steps.
Markers too faint/bold: Adjust start and end alpha toward lower or higher opacity.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
A selective entry-marker layer that prints only under triple confirmation with stateful guardrails. It is not a full system, not predictive, and does not handle risk. Combine with market structure, risk controls, and position management.

Bitcoin as Heikin Ashi Candles with Pivot PointsI use this Indicator to show me where Bitcoin is heading.
Most pine programmers are not aware of the possibility to combine Heikin Ashi Candles with Pivot Points that easy.
You can switch between Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, and Camarilla as usual.
When on a Intraday Chart it will automaticly calculate daily Pivots for Haikin Ashi candles.
On the daily Chart it will calculate weekly Pivots, and when switching to monthly candles it will calculate Pivots for one year.
There is also an option where you can deactivate all support and resistance lines, except for today. Meaning you will see the Central Pivot Point on all previous days only.
This is a lagging indicator!
When you can see Altcoin correlation with BTC then both might get pretty strong leading indicators.
I am pleased to hear some advice/wishes to improve this script.
It is still in the beginning and some updates will follow, I promise.
Happy Trading!
Heikin Ashi ROC Percentile Strategy**User Guide for the "Heikin Ashi ROC Percentile Strategy"**
This strategy, "Heikin Ashi ROC Percentile Strategy", is designed to provide an easy-to-use framework for trading based on the Heikin Ashi Rate of Change (ROC) and its percentiles.
Here's how you can use it:
1. **Setting the Start Date**: You can set the start date for the strategy in the user inputs at the top of the script. The variable `startDate` defines the point from which the script begins executing trades. Simply input the desired date in the format "YYYY MM DD". For example, to start the strategy from March 3, 2023, you would enter `startDate = timestamp("2023 03 03")`.
2. **Adjusting the Midline, Lookback Period, and Stop Loss Level**: The `zerohLine`, `rocLength`, and `stopLossLevel` inputs allow you to adjust the baseline for ROC, the lookback period for the SMA and ROC, and the level at which the strategy stops the loss, respectively. By tweaking these parameters, you can fine-tune the strategy to better suit your trading style or the particular characteristics of the asset you are trading.
3. **Understanding the Trade Conditions**: The script defines conditions for entering and exiting long and short positions based on crossovers and crossunders of the ROC and the upper and lower "kill lines". These lines are defined as certain percentiles of the ROC's highest and lowest values over a specified lookback period. When the ROC crosses above the lower kill line, the script enters a long position; when it crosses below the upper kill line, it exits the position. Similarly, when the ROC crosses below the upper kill line, the script enters a short position; when it crosses above the lower kill line, it exits the position.
In my testing, this strategy performed best on a day and hour basis. However, I encourage you to experiment with different timeframes and settings to see how the strategy performs under various conditions. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to trading; what works best will depend on your specific circumstances, goals, and risk tolerance.
If you find other useful applications for this strategy, please let me know in the comments. Your feedback is invaluable in helping to refine and improve this tool. Happy trading!
HK Percentile Interpolation One
This script is designed to execute a trading strategy based on Heikin Ashi candlesticks, moving averages, and percentile levels.
Please note that you should keep your original chart in normal candlestick mode and not switch it to Heikin Ashi mode. The script itself calculates Heikin Ashi values from regular candlesticks. If your chart is already in Heikin Ashi mode, the script would be calculating Heikin Ashi values based on Heikin Ashi values, which would produce incorrect results.
The strategy begins trading from a start date that you can specify by modifying the `startDate` parameter. The format of the date is "YYYY MM DD". So, for example, to start the strategy from January 1, 2022, you would set `startDate = timestamp("2022 01 01")`.
The script uses Heikin Ashi candlesticks, which are plotted in the chart. This approach can be useful for spotting trends and reversals more easily than with regular candlestick charts. This is particularly useful when backtesting in TradingView's "Rewind" mode, as you can see how the Heikin Ashi candles behaved at each step of the strategy.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on two factors:
1. The crossing over or under of the Heikin Ashi close price and the 75th percentile price level.
2. The Heikin Ashi close price being above certain moving averages.
You have the flexibility to adjust several parameters in the script, including:
1. The stop loss and trailing stop percentages (`stopLossPercentage` and `trailStopPercentage`). These parameters allow the strategy to exit trades if the price moves against you by a certain percentage.
2. The lookback period (`lookback`) used to calculate percentile levels. This determines the range of past bars used in the percentile calculation.
3. The lengths of the two moving averages (`yellowLine_length` and `purplLine_length`). These determine how sensitive the moving averages are to recent price changes.
4. The minimum holding period (`holdPeriod`). This sets the minimum number of bars that a trade must be kept open before it can be closed.
Please adjust these parameters according to your trading preferences and risk tolerance. Happy trading!
