Max The Minner: RSI Bands with Min/Max [by Oberlunar]This Pine Script, titled "Max The Minner: RSI Bands with Min/Max " is a technical indicator designed to visualize RSI-based dynamic bands with local minimum and maximum levels on a chosen timeframe. The script incorporates user-configurable parameters for RSI thresholds, resolution, and color settings, providing traders with a highly customizable tool for analyzing price behavior in relation to overbought and oversold conditions.
Core Functionality
The script begins by calculating the RSI (Relative Strength Index) using user-defined inputs for overbought and oversold levels, the RSI length, and the resolution (default set to daily). The RSI is computed through an exponential moving average (EMA) approach that smooths the upward and downward price movements, creating adaptive upper (ub) and lower (lb) bands based on the overbought and oversold thresholds.
These bands are then dynamically adjusted based on the current price (src) and the EMA calculations. The upper band (ub) represents a potential resistance zone aligned with the RSI overbought level, while the lower band (lb) represents a support zone aligned with the RSI oversold level. The script employs additional calculations to ensure the adaptive nature of these bands, depending on whether the RSI is pushing higher or lower relative to its thresholds.
Local Minima and Maxima
A key feature of the indicator is its ability to track and update local minima and maxima based on the chosen timeframe. The script uses a buffer system that refreshes these levels every three bars to smooth out noise and avoid excessive sensitivity to short-term fluctuations. These local extrema (localMin and localMax) are retrieved from the lower and upper prices of the selected timeframe and act as dynamic benchmarks for evaluating the RSI bands.
Conditional Logic
The script includes conditional logic to determine when the RSI bands intersect with or approach the local maxima or minima. For example:
The upper band (ub) is plotted only if it is below the local maximum, suggesting that price may encounter resistance.
Similarly, the lower band (lb) is plotted only if it is above the local minimum, indicating potential support.
This logic ensures that the bands are contextually relevant to the prevailing market structure, rather than being static overlays.
Visualization
The RSI bands and local extrema are plotted on the chart using color-coded lines, with transparency adjustable through user inputs. The upper band and local maximum are linked with a fill area, visually representing the resistance zone. Similarly, the lower band and local minimum are filled to highlight the support zone. These fills provide a clear depiction of price boundaries, making it easier for traders to spot key levels.
Additionally, the script marks breakout conditions. If the price exceeds the local maximum, a label is plotted at the breakout point with a distinctive style and color. Similarly, a breakout below the local minimum is labeled, providing a visual cue for significant price movements.
Customization
The script offers extensive customization options for both functionality and appearance:
Users can define the overbought and oversold levels for RSI, along with the RSI length and the resolution (timeframe).
Colors for the upper and lower bands, along with transparency (alpha) levels, can be adjusted, allowing for seamless integration with different chart styles.
The periodicity of the local minima and maxima updates is hardcoded to three bars but could be further parameterized for greater flexibility.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on RSI-based strategies and need a dynamic representation of overbought and oversold conditions in conjunction with local price extremes. By combining RSI bands with the context provided by local minima and maxima, it allows traders to:
Identify potential support and resistance levels.
Visualize price behavior relative to RSI thresholds.
Spot breakout opportunities when price exceeds predefined levels.

Enigma Unlocked 2.0Description for "Enigma Unlocked 2.0" Pine Script Indicator
Overview
Enigma Unlocked 2.0 is an advanced and highly customizable indicator designed to deliver actionable buy and sell signals by leveraging precise candlestick logic during specific market transitions. This indicator is built for flexibility, helping traders identify high-probability trade setups during key trading periods, specifically the transitions between the Asian Kill Zone and London Kill Zone as well as the London Kill Zone and New York Kill Zone on the 30-minute timeframe.
By combining Enigma Unlocked 2.0 with the ICT Killzones & Pivots indicator, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the timing and location of these transitions. Waiting for signals during these defined kill zones increases the likelihood of finding high-probability trade setups.
How to Use
Follow the Kill Zone Transitions:
Use the ICT Killzones & Pivots indicator to clearly visualize the boundaries of the Asian, London, and New York kill zones.
Focus on the signals generated by Enigma Unlocked 2.0 that align with these kill zone transitions.
Plotting Entries and Targets with Gann Box:
For Buy Signals:
Use the Gann Box tool to mark the high and low of the signal candle.
Ensure your Gann Box settings include only the 50%, 0%, and 100% levels.
Your entry zone lies between the 50% and 100% levels (discount zone). This is where buy trades are expected to offer an optimal risk-reward ratio.
For Sell Signals:
Similarly, plot the Gann Box on the high and low of the signal candle.
The 50% to 100% zone acts as the premium area for sell trades.
Setting Stop Loss and Targets:
To identify a safe stop loss, split the 50% zone of the Gann Box using another Gann Box.
Draw the secondary Gann Box from 50% to 100% of the initial box, then extend it to double the height.
For sell trades, place the stop loss above the extended 100% level.
For buy trades, place the stop loss below the extended 100% level.
Aim for a minimum of 1:1 risk-to-reward to ensure optimal trade management.
How It Works
Buy Logic:
Buy Logic 1: Detects a bullish candle (close > open) that:
Closes above its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a low lower than the previous candle's low.
Buy Logic 2: Identifies a bearish candle (close < open) that:
Closes above its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a low lower than the previous candle's low.
Sell Logic:
Sell Logic 1: Detects a bearish candle (close < open) that:
Closes below its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a high higher than the previous candle's high.
Sell Logic 2: Identifies a bullish candle (close > open) that:
Closes below its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a high higher than the previous candle's high.
Real-Time Alerts and Visual Cues:
Green triangles below candles indicate buy opportunities.
Red triangles above candles indicate sell opportunities.

UM VIX status table and Roll Yield with EMA
Description :
This oscillator indicator gives you a quick snapshot of VIX, VIX futures prices, and the related VIX roll yield at a glance. When the roll yield is greater than 0, The front-month VX1 future contract is less than the next-month VX2 contract. This is called Contango and is typical for the majority of the time. If the roll yield falls below zero. This is considered backwardation where the front-month VX1 contract is higher than the value of the next-month VX2 contract. Contango is most common. When Backwardation occurs, there is usually high volatility present.
Features :
The red and green fill indicate the current roll yield with the gray line being zero.
An Exponential moving average is overlaid on the roll yield. It is red when trending down and green when trending up. If you right-click the indicator, you can set alerts for roll yield EMA color transitions green to red or red to green.
Suggested uses:
The author suggests a one hour chart using the 55 period EMA with a 60 minute setting in the indicator. This gives you a visual idea of whether the roll yield is rising or falling. The roll yield will often change directions at market turning points. For example if the roll yield EMA changes from red to green, this indicates a rising roll yield and volatility is subsiding. This could be considered bullish. If the roll yield begins falling, this indicates volatility is rising. This may be negative for stocks and indexes.
I look for short volatility positions (SVIX) when the roll yield is rising. I look for long volatility positions (VXX, UVXY, UVIX) when the roll yield begins falling. The indicator can be added to any chart. I suggest using the VX1, SPY, VIX, or other major stock index.
Set the time frame to your trading style. The default is 60 minutes. Note, the timeframe of the indicator does NOT utilize the current chart timeframe, it must be set to the desired timeframe. I manually input text on the chart indicator for understanding periods of Long and Short Volatility.
Settings and Defaults
The EMA is set to 55 by default and the table location is set to the lower right. The default time frame is 60 minutes. These features are all user configurable.
Other considerations
Sometimes the Tradingview data when a VX contract expires and another contract begins, may not transition cleanly and appear as a break on the chart. Tradingview is working on this as stated from my last request. This VX contract from one expiring contract to the next can be fixed on the price chart manually: ( Chart settings, Symbol, check the "Adjust for contract changes" box)
Observations
Pull up a one-hour chart of VX1 or SPY. Add this indicator. roll it back in time to see how the market and volatility reacts when the EMA changes from red to green and green to red. Adjust the EMA to your trading style and time frame. Use this for added confirmation of your long and short volatility trades with the Volatility ETFs SVIX, SVXY, VXX, UVXY, UVIX. or use it for long/short indexes such as SPY.

Central Pivot Range (CPR)Central Pivot Range (CPR) Indicator
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) indicator is designed to help traders identify key levels of support and resistance based on pivot points calculated from the previous day's price action. The CPR levels act as critical areas of price convergence and potential reversal, which can help in anticipating future price movements. This version of the CPR indicator includes customizable features to enhance your trading strategy.
Key Features:
Custom Timeframe Support: The indicator allows you to select a custom timeframe for calculating the CPR levels. By default, it uses the daily timeframe ('D'), but you can adjust it to any other timeframe of your choosing. The indicator calculates the CPR and support/resistance levels based on the data from the selected timeframe.
Central Pivot (CP), Below Central Pivot (BC), and Top Central Pivot (TC):
Pivot (CP): The central pivot point is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close prices of the selected timeframe.
Below Central Pivot (BC): This is the midpoint between the high and low prices of the selected timeframe.
Top Central Pivot (TC): This is calculated based on the central pivot and below central pivot, providing a range between support and resistance levels.
Support and Resistance Levels (S1, S2, S3, R1, R2, R3):
Support Levels (S1, S2, S3): These are calculated based on the central pivot, providing potential areas where price may find support and reverse.
Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3): These are calculated similarly but indicate potential resistance zones where price may face challenges to move higher.
Dynamic Plotting Based on User Input:
The indicator allows you to choose which levels to display on the chart, including the Central Pivot (CP), Support Levels (S1, S2, S3), and Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3), all of which can be toggled on or off via checkboxes.
CP is displayed in white, BC and TC in blue, Support levels (S1, S2, S3) in green, and Resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) in red.
Daywise Calculations:
The CPR and levels are based on the previous day’s price action, providing historical support and resistance levels that can be useful for intraday analysis.
The request.security function is used to fetch the pivot data from the custom timeframe, ensuring the levels are calculated based on the last completed period (previous day) without repainting.
Customization Options:

MULTI TF SCANNERMulti-Timeframe Moving Average Scanner Script
This script is designed to scan multiple timeframes for specific moving average (MA) crossovers to help traders identify potential buy or sell signals. The moving averages, such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA), are calculated for different timeframes, allowing the script to provide a comprehensive analysis of the market trend.
Features:
Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
The script scans across various timeframes, including 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, and 1 week.
The moving averages are calculated for each of these timeframes, enabling the trader to gauge trends across short, medium, and long-term periods.
MA Crossover Detection:
The script checks for crossovers between a fast-moving average (e.g., 9-period) and a slow-moving average (e.g., 50-period).
A bullish crossover (fast MA crossing above slow MA) signals a potential buy, while a bearish crossover (fast MA crossing below slow MA) signals a potential sell.
Recursive Timeframe Check:
Before generating a buy or sell signal, the script checks for confirmations from higher timeframes.
Signals are only generated when the crossovers align across multiple timeframes (e.g., a buy signal on the 5-minute chart is confirmed by a bullish crossover on the 1-hour and 4-hour charts).
Signal Quality Indicator:
The script assigns a quality score to each signal based on how many higher timeframes confirm the crossover.
A stronger confirmation across multiple timeframes increases the quality of the signal, which can be visualized on the chart.
Optimized for Performance:
The calculations for moving average crossovers are designed to minimize unnecessary recalculations, optimizing the script’s performance and reducing lag.
The multi-timeframe checks are done only when the moving average crossover occurs or changes, ensuring efficiency.
User-Friendly Interface:
The results are displayed on the chart with clear visual cues to indicate the buy/sell signals and signal strength.
The script is minimalistic, with an uncluttered interface, providing the user with only the most relevant information for making trading decisions.
CandelaCharts - Volume Imbalance (VI) 📝 Overview
Volume Imbalance occurs when there’s a noticeable gap between the bodies of two consecutive candlesticks, with no overlap between them. While the wicks of the candles might intersect, the candle bodies remain entirely separate. This phenomenon often signifies that the algorithm driving market activity did not evenly distribute prices between these two levels, leaving behind a small Volume Imbalance (VI).
A Bullish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a green candlestick gaps above the previous candle’s body, with no overlap, indicating strong upward momentum and insufficient sell-side liquidity.
A Bearish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a red candlestick gaps below the previous candle’s body, with no overlap, signaling intense downward pressure and a lack of buy-side liquidity.
This indicator can automatically identify volume imbalances by scanning candlestick patterns and detecting gaps between consecutive candle bodies. These volume imbalances act as price magnets, often attracting the market back to fill the gap before resuming its original direction. Recognizing and leveraging these gaps can be a powerful tool in technical analysis for predicting price movements.

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity LevelsMulti-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels indicator automatically displays significant highs and lows from various timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly) on your current chart. This allows traders to quickly identify potential support and resistance zones without frequently switching between different timeframe charts. Additionally, the script offers extra lines for special reference points (e.g., the “Midnight” midpoint of the current day and the previous day’s open/close) to highlight potential liquidity zones even more clearly.
1. Core Idea and Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of manually reviewing charts in different timeframes, the indicator fetches relevant high/low levels automatically and shows them on your active timeframe.
Clear Layout: Traders instantly see where the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly highs and lows lie—areas often associated with institutional orders or liquidity hunts.
Customizable: You can tailor the color scheme, line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and line width, ensuring the displayed levels fit your personal charting style.
2. How It Works
Multi-Timeframe High/Low
For each timeframe (Day, Week, Month, Quarter), the indicator references the previous candle’s high and low (high , low ).
Using request.security(...), these values are plotted on the chart you’re currently viewing.
Flexible Display
You can individually enable or disable the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly lines, depending on which levels are most relevant to your trading.
With Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and Line Width, you can easily emphasize certain lines you consider more important.
Additional Lines
“Midnight” Line: A theoretical midpoint between today’s high and low, which can be useful for gauging daily pivot areas.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Many traders track these reference points to anticipate market reactions. You can show or hide these lines as desired.
Automatic Line Removal & Creation
When a particular timeframe (e.g., “Show Monthly Levels”) is disabled, the script automatically removes the existing monthly lines.
Enabling it again recreates those lines without hassle.
3. Usage and Interpretation
Identifying Support and Resistance
Highs and lows from higher timeframes are often key zones for entries, exits, or major market reactions.
A Daily level may be crucial for short-term traders, whereas Monthly or Quarterly levels can indicate long-term liquidity areas.
Spotting Market Shifts
If price decisively moves above a Higher-Timeframe line, it could signal strong momentum.
Conversely, a failed breakout (where price quickly returns under or above a level) might warn of a potential reversal.
Extra Lines as Filters
The “Midnight” Line helps visualize a rough central price for the current day, aiding in intraday directional bias.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Common reference points for day traders, where swift approaches and rejections can indicate potential entries or partial take-profit zones.
4. Practical Tips
Use Color-Coding Wisely: Assign distinct colors (e.g., Blue for Daily, Green for Weekly, Orange for Monthly, Purple for Quarterly) so you can easily discern which timeframe you’re looking at.
Toggle On/Off As Needed: Day traders might focus on Daily and Weekly, while long-term traders may pay closer attention to Monthly and Quarterly.
Combine with Price Action: Lines alone don’t constitute a trading strategy. Use them alongside candlestick patterns, volume analysis, or other indicators for a more complete market perspective.
5. Important Notes & Recommendations
Not Financial Advice: This indicator simply reflects historical high/low data across multiple timeframes and does not constitute a buy or sell recommendation.
Trader Responsibility: Observe how the market actually behaves around these lines and adapt your risk management accordingly.
Catalyst TrendCatalyst Trend – A Comprehensive Trend and Regime Analyzer
The Catalyst Trend indicator was designed to dynamically and intuitively merge various classic analytical techniques. The goal is to filter out short-term market noise and reveal reliable trend phases or potential turning points. Below is a detailed explanation of its core elements and practical usage.
1. Concept and Idea
Multidimensional Trend Detection
This indicator goes beyond a simple momentum or volatility focus. It factors in multiple measurements to provide a more well-rounded market perspective.
Versatile Indicator Fusion
Linear Regression (LinReg): Multiple LinReg calculations are combined to smooth out price fluctuations and produce a robust trendline—known here as the “Cycle Reduced Line.”
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Flags potential overbought or oversold conditions, in both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe.
ATR (Average True Range): Assesses volatility; used to dynamically adjust calculation lengths.
By weaving these elements together, the indicator adds value beyond simply stacking multiple indicators. It adapts to real-time market conditions, aiming to highlight genuine trends and reduce false signals.
2. Key Functions and Calculations
Dynamic Length & Smoothing
A blend of volatility (ATR), ADX values, and RSI inputs determines how many candles are used in the LinReg calculations and how heavily the data is smoothed.
This allows the indicator to respond promptly during periods of high volatility, while automatically adjusting to filter out unnecessary noise in quieter phases.c
Cycle Reduced Line
The script averages several offset LinReg calculations to produce a cleaner overall signal. Random outliers are thus minimized, making the trend path more visually consistent.
An additional EMA smoothing (“Final Smoothing”) further stabilizes this trendline, reducing the impact of minor price fluctuations.
Channel Bands (Optional)
These bands are derived from the standard deviation of the price residual (the difference between the smoothed price and the trendline).
They highlight potential over-extension zones: the upper band can mark short-term overbought areas, while the lower band might indicate oversold conditions.
Trend and Sideways Determination
Slope Calculation: The slope of the trendline (comparing the current bar to the previous one) helps identify short-term directional shifts.
DX Threshold: Once the ADX surpasses a user-defined threshold and the slope is positive, it may indicate a developing uptrend. Similarly, if the slope is negative and ADX > threshold, it could signal a potential downtrend.
Multi-Level Color Coding
Original Mode: Interpolated colors reflect uptrends, downtrends, and sideways phases, factoring in metrics like ADX and RSI.
Single Color: For a neutral look, the indicator can be displayed in one uniform color.
HTF RSI: This mode uses the higher-timeframe RSI to color the trendline (Long/Short/Neutral), offering a quick gauge of overarching market pressure.
3. Use Cases and Interpretation
Timeframes & Markets
The indicator is versatile and adapts well to different intervals, from 5-minute charts to weekly views.
It can be applied to various markets—crypto, forex, stocks—since volatility and trend strength are universal concepts.
Signal Recognition
Color Swings into a more pronounced upward hue (e.g., green) may signal mounting strength.
Neutral or mixed tones often point to sideways phases, which breakout traders might watch for potential price surges.
A shift to downward colors (e.g., red) may indicate a growing bearish trend.
Channel Bands & Volatility
When the bands spread widely, it’s wise to proceed with caution: abrupt spikes above the upper band or below the lower band can flag rapid short-term extremes.
These bands are more of a reference for potential overextension than a strict buy or sell trigger.
Additional Confirmations
Not a standalone panacea: The Catalyst Trend indicator is an analytical tool, best used alongside other methods such as volume analysis or price action (candlestick patterns, support/resistance levels) to bolster confidence in trading decisions.
4. Practical Tips
Parameter Adjustments
Depending on the market—crypto vs. traditional currency pairs—different ADX, RSI, or smoothing periods may be more effective. Experiment with the settings to tailor the indicator to your preferred timeframe.
Strategic Integration
Trailing Stops: For those riding a trend, the trendline or the channel bands may serve as a reference to trail stop-loss orders.
Trend Confirmation: Using RSI and ADX filters can help traders avoid sideways markets or stay the course when the trend is strong.
5. Important Final Notes
No Guarantee of Profits
No indicator can predict the future. Markets are inherently volatile and often unpredictable.
Responsible Risk Management
Test the indicator in a demo environment or with smaller positions before committing to large trades.
