Session High/Low Average & Range [1CG]The Session High/Low Average & Range indicator independently measures the average price movement from the opening price in each direction. It also displays the maximum high and low distance, called Range. Separating the averages and range into highs and lows helps analyze the volatility of the market as well as the direction.
USE EXAMPLES
Session Open
Session Close
Customization
Minimal - 1x and 2x Averages are replaced with custom lines, in order to show distance to3x.
Calculations
Average High: (high price of session - session opening price) / (session period)
Average Low: (session opening price - low price of session) / (session period)
Range High: The highest price of the last (session period)
Range Low: The lowest price of the last (session period)
INPUTS
Session
Here you can choose the hours for your session and time zone. The default is London session in New York time. Next, the session period determines how many sessions to sample from for the average and range lines, the default is 20. Lastly, you can choose the number of sessions to appear on the chart not including the current session if you are in one, 5 by default.
Lines
All of the lines allow you to change the color, width, and style. They also have a label option to choose to display the price. The bottom of the section allows you to change the location and size of the label text.
**Open Line** -Displays the opening price for the length of the session.
**Average Lines** - Displays the 1x, 2x, and 3x the average distance from open in each direction. Additionally, you can toggle a background color to highlight the area.
**Custom Lines** - Displays a customizable multiple of either the average or range. By default the first custom line displays the Range at a 1x multiplier and the second line displays an Average at a 1.5x multiplier
Display Distance
Here you can choose to display the distance from the lines to the open. This data is marked with a “Δ”. For the three Average lines this will display in the area between the line and the open in the position and size of your choice. The custom lines will have the distance information displayed on the line itself. This helps keep the data organized.

Trend Stability Index (TSI)Overview
The Trend Stability Index (TSI) is a technical analysis tool designed to evaluate the stability of a market trend by analyzing both price movements and trading volume. By combining these two crucial elements, the TSI provides traders with insights into the strength and reliability of ongoing trends, assisting in making informed trading decisions.
Key Features
• Dual Analysis: Integrates price changes and volume fluctuations to assess trend stability.
• Customizable Periods: Allows users to set evaluation periods for both trend and volume based on their trading preferences.
• Visual Indicators: Displays the Trend Stability Index as a line chart, highlights neutral zones, and uses background colors to indicate trend stability or instability.
Configuration Settings
1. Trend Length (trendLength)
• Description: Determines the number of periods over which the price stability is evaluated.
• Default Value: 15
• Usage: A longer trend length smooths out short-term volatility, providing a clearer picture of the overarching trend.
2. Volume Length (volumeLength)
• Description: Sets the number of periods over which trading volume changes are assessed.
• Default Value: 15
• Usage: Adjusting the volume length helps in capturing significant volume movements that may influence trend strength.
Calculation Methodology
The Trend Stability Index is calculated through a series of steps that analyze both price and volume changes:
1. Price Change Rate (priceChange)
• Calculation: Utilizes the Rate of Change (ROC) function on the closing prices over the specified trendLength.
• Purpose: Measures the percentage change in price over the trend evaluation period, indicating the direction and momentum of the price movement.
2. Volume Change Rate (volumeChange)
• Calculation: Applies the Rate of Change (ROC) function to the trading volume over the specified volumeLength.
• Purpose: Assesses the percentage change in trading volume, providing insight into the conviction behind price movements.
3. Trend Stability (trendStability)
• Calculation: Multiplies priceChange by volumeChange.
• Purpose: Combines price and volume changes to gauge the overall stability of the trend. A higher positive value suggests a strong and stable trend, while negative values may indicate trend weakness or reversal.
4. Trend Stability Index (TSI)
• Calculation: Applies a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to the trendStability over the trendLength period.
• Purpose: Smooths the trend stability data to create a more consistent and interpretable index.
Trend/Ranging Determination
• Stable Trend (isStable)
• Condition: When the TSI value is greater than 0.
• Interpretation: Indicates that the current trend is stable and likely to continue in its direction.
• Unstable Trend / Range-bound Market
• Condition: When the TSI value is less than or equal to 0.
• Interpretation: Suggests that the trend may be weakening, reversing, or that the market is moving sideways without a clear direction.
Visualization
The TSI indicator employs several visual elements to convey information effectively:
1. TSI Line
• Representation: Plotted as a blue line.
• Purpose: Displays the Trend Stability Index values over time, allowing traders to observe trend stability dynamics.
2. Neutral Horizontal Line
• Representation: A gray horizontal line at the 0 level.
• Purpose: Serves as a reference point to distinguish between stable and unstable trends.
3. Background Color
• Stable Trend: Green background with 80% transparency when isStable is true.
• Unstable Trend: Red background with 80% transparency when isStable is false.
• Purpose: Provides an immediate visual cue about the current trend’s stability, enhancing the interpretability of the indicator.
Usage Guidelines
• Identifying Trend Strength: Utilize the TSI to confirm the strength of existing trends. A consistently positive TSI suggests strong trend momentum, while a negative TSI may signal caution or a potential reversal.
• Volume Confirmation: The integration of volume changes helps in validating price movements. Significant price changes accompanied by corresponding volume shifts can reinforce the reliability of the trend.
• Entry and Exit Signals: Traders can use crossovers of the TSI with the neutral line (0 level) as potential entry or exit points. For instance, a crossover from below to above 0 may indicate a bullish trend initiation, while a crossover from above to below 0 could suggest bearish momentum.
• Combining with Other Indicators: To enhance trading strategies, consider using the TSI in conjunction with other technical indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, or MACD for comprehensive market analysis.
Example Scenario
Imagine analyzing a stock with the following observations using the TSI:
• The TSI has been consistently above 0 for the past 30 periods, accompanied by increasing trading volume. This scenario indicates a strong and stable uptrend, suggesting that buying opportunities may be favorable.
• Conversely, if the TSI drops below 0 while the price remains relatively flat and volume decreases, it may imply that the current trend is losing momentum, and the market could be entering a consolidation phase or preparing for a trend reversal.
Conclusion
The Trend Stability Index is a valuable tool for traders seeking to assess the reliability and strength of market trends by integrating price and volume dynamics. Its customizable settings and clear visual indicators make it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions. By incorporating the TSI into your trading analysis, you can enhance your ability to identify and act upon stable and profitable trends.
MktCumTickThis script is a market sentiment indicator that calculates the cumulative TICK (Trade Imbalance Sentiment) for four major markets: NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations), Dow Jones, and AMEX (American Stock Exchange).
Here's a breakdown of the script:
1. Market data requests: The script requests data for the four markets, including:
- TICK (Trade Imbalance Sentiment) data
- HLC3 (High, Low, Close) data
- ADVN (Advancing issues), DECL (Declining issues), and UNCH (Unchanged issues) data
2. Cumulative TICK calculation: The script calculates the cumulative TICK for each market by dividing the TICK data by the maximum TICK value for each market.
3. Plotting: The script plots the cumulative TICK values for each market as separate lines on the chart.
4. Background color: The script changes the background color of the chart based on the cumulative TICK values. If all four markets have decreasing cumulative TICK values, the background color turns red. If all four markets have increasing cumulative TICK values, the background color turns green.
The purpose of this indicator is to provide a visual representation of market sentiment across multiple markets. By analyzing the cumulative TICK values, traders can gain insights into market trends and make more informed trading decisions.
Some possible uses of this indicator include:
- Identifying market trends and sentiment
- Confirming trade entries and exits
- Monitoring market conditions and adjusting trading strategies accordingly

Understanding the Indicator’s Logic
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Analysis:
• The indicator retrieves the closing prices of a higher timeframe using the request.security() function.
• It compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine the trend direction.
2. Key Level Calculation:
• Previous Day High/Low: Calculated by tracking the highest and lowest prices of the previous trading day.
• Pre-Market High/Low: Calculated by monitoring price action during the pre-market session.
3. First 5-Minute Marker Logic:
• At 9:35 AM (end of the first 5 minutes after market open), the indicator evaluates whether the first 5-minute high is above or below the PMH.
• It then places the appropriate label (F5H or F5L) on the chart.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• The script uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points.
• It then determines the type of swing point based on comparisons with previous swings.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• The indicator looks back over a specified number of bars to find the highest high and lowest low.
• It calculates the percentage difference between these two points.
• If the difference is below the set threshold, the market is considered to be ranging, and a box is drawn around the price action.
Limitations and Considerations
• Indicator Limitations:
• Maximum Boxes and Labels: Due to Pine Script limitations, there is a maximum number of boxes and labels that can be displayed simultaneously.
• Performance Impact: Adding multiple visual elements (boxes, labels, markers) can affect the performance of the script on lower-end devices or with large amounts of data.
• Market Conditions:
• False Signals: Like any technical tool, the indicator may produce false signals, especially during volatile or erratic market conditions.
• Not a Standalone Solution: This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, including risk management and other forms of analysis.
Conclusion
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a versatile tool that integrates essential aspects of technical analysis into one script. By providing insights into higher timeframe trends, highlighting key price levels, detecting swing points, and identifying ranging markets, it equips traders with valuable information to make more informed trading decisions.

UVR Crypto TrendINDICATOR OVERVIEW: UVR CRYPTO TREND
The UVR Crypto Trend indicator is a custom-built tool designed specifically for cryptocurrency markets, utilizing advanced volatility, momentum, and trend-following techniques. It aims to identify trend reversals and provide buy and sell signals by analyzing multiple factors, such as price volatility(UVR), RSI (Relative Strength Index), CMF (Chaikin Money Flow), and EMA (Exponential Moving Average). The indicator is optimized for CRYPTO MARKETS only.
KEY FEATURES AND HOW IT WORKS
Volatility Analysis with UVR
The UVR (Ultimate Volatility Rate) is a proprietary calculation that measures market volatility by comparing significant price extremes and smoothing the data over time.
Purpose: UVR aims to reduce noise in low-volatility environments and highlight significant movements during higher-volatility periods. While it strives to improve filtering in low-volatility conditions, it does not guarantee perfect performance, making it a balanced and adaptable tool for dynamic markets like cryptocurrency.
HOW UVR (ULTIMATE VOLATILITY RATE) IS CALCULATED
UVR is calculated using a method that ensures precise measurement of market volatility by comparing price extremes across consecutive candles:
Volatility Components:
Two values are calculated to represent potential price fluctuations:
The absolute difference between the current candle's high and the previous candle's low:
Volatility Component 1=∣High−Low ∣
The absolute difference between the previous candle's high and the current candle's low:
Volatility Component 2=∣High −Low∣
Volatility Ratio:
The larger of the two components is selected as the Volatility Ratio, ensuring UVR captures the most significant movement:
Volatility Ratio=max(Volatility Component 1,Volatility Component 2)
Smoothing with SMMA:
To stabilize the volatility calculation, the Volatility Ratio is smoothed using a Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA) over a user-defined period (e.g., 14 candles):
UVR=(UVR(Previous)×(Period−1)+Volatility Ratio)/Period
This calculation ensures UVR adapts dynamically to market conditions, focusing on significant price movements while filtering out noise.
RSI FOR MOMENTUM DETECTION
RSI (Relative Strength Index) identifies overbought and oversold conditions.
Trend Confirmation at the 50 Level
RSI values crossing above 50 signal the potential start of an upward trend.
RSI values crossing below 50 indicate the potential start of a downward trend.
Key Reversals at Extreme Levels
RSI detects trend reversals at overbought (>70) and oversold (<30) levels.
For example:
Overbought Trend Reversal: RSI >70 followed by bearish price action signals a potential downtrend.
Oversold Trend Reversal: RSI <30 with bullish confirmation signals a potential uptrend.
Rare Extreme RSI Readings
Extreme levels, such as RSI <12 (oversold) or RSI >88 (overbought), are used to identify rare yet powerful reversals.
---HOW IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER INDICATORS---
Using UVR High and Low Values
The Ultimate Volatility Rate (UVR) focuses on analyzing the high and low price ranges of the market to measure volatility.
Unlike traditional trend indicators that rely primarily on momentum or moving average crossovers, UVR leverages price extremes to better identify trend reversals.
This approach ensures fewer false signals during low-volatility phases and more accurate trend detection during high-volatility conditions.
UVR as the Core Component
The indicator is fundamentally built around UVR as the primary filter, while supporting tools like RSI (momentum detection), CMF (volume confirmation), and EMA (trend validation) complement its functionality.
By integrating these additional components, the indicator provides a multidimensional analysis rather than relying solely on a single approach.
Dynamic Adaptation to Volatility
UVR dynamically adjusts to market conditions, striving to improve filtering in low-volatility phases. While not flawless, this approach minimizes false signals and adapts more effectively to varying levels of market activity.
Trend Clouds for Visual Guidance
UVR-based dynamic clouds visually mark high and low price areas, highlighting potential consolidation or retracement zones.
These clouds serve as guides for setting stop-loss or take-profit levels, offering clear risk management strategies.
BUY AND SELL SIGNAL LOGIC
BUY CONDITIONS
Momentum-Based Buy-Entry
RSI >50, CMF >0, and the close price is above EMA50.
The price difference between open and close exceeds a threshold based on UVR.
Oversold Reversal
RSI <30 and CMF >0 with a strong bullish candle (close > open and UVR-based sensitivity filter).
Breakout Confirmation
The price breaks above a previously identified resistance, with conditions for RSI and CMF supporting the breakout.
Reversal from Oversold RSI Extreme
RSI <12 on the previous candle with a strong rebound on the current candle with UVR confirmation filter.
SELL CONDITIONS
Momentum-Based Sell-Entry
RSI <50, CMF <0, and the close price is below EMA50.
The price difference between open and close exceeds the UVR threshold.
Overbought Reversal
RSI >70 with bearish price action (open > close and UVR-based sensitivity filter).
Breakdown Confirmation
The price breaks below a previously identified support, with RSI and CMF supporting the breakdown.
Reversal from Overbought RSI Extreme
RSI >88 on the previous candle with a bearish confirmation on the current candle with UVR confirmation filter.
BUY AND SELL SIGNALS VISUALIZATION
The UVR Crypto Trend Indicator visually represents buy and sell conditions using dynamic plots, making it easier for traders to interpret and act on the signals. Below is an explanation of the visual representation:
Buy Signals and Visualization
Signal Trigger:
A buy signal is generated when one of the defined Buy Conditions is met (e.g., RSI >50, CMF >0, price above EMA50).
Visual Representation:
A blue upward arrow appears at the candle where the buy condition is triggered.
A blue cloud forms above the price candles, representing the strength of the bullish trend. The cloud dynamically adapts to market volatility, using the UVR calculation to mark support zones or consolidation levels.
Purpose of the Blue Cloud:
It acts as a visual guide for price movements and stay horizontal when the trend is not moving up
Sell Signals and Visualization
Signal Trigger:
A sell signal is generated when one of the defined Sell Conditions is met (e.g., RSI <50, CMF <0, price below EMA50).
Visual Representation:
A red downward arrow appears at the candle where the sell condition is triggered.
A red cloud forms below the price candles, representing the strength of the bearish trend. Like the blue cloud, it uses the UVR calculation to dynamically mark resistance zones or potential retracement levels.
Purpose of the Red Cloud:
It acts as a visual guide for price movements and stay horizontal when the trend is not moving down.

Fibonacci Snap Tool [TradersPro]
OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Snap tool automatically snaps to the swing high and swing low of the price data shown on the chart display. Fibonacci retracement levels can be used for entry, exit, or as a confirmation of trend continuation.
If the swing high on the chart comes before the swing low, the price is in a downtrend.If the swing high comes after the swing low, the price is in an uptrend.
We call the 23.60% Fibonacci level the momentum zone of the trend. Price in a solid trend, either up or down, will typically hold the 23.60% Fibonacci level as support (demand) in an uptrend or resistance (supply) in a downtrend.
Deeper Fibonacci levels of 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% are corrective supply/demand zones. As price moves against the found trend, it can move into this range block we call the corrective zone.
Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential supply/demand areas where price could reverse or consolidate. These levels are based on key ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, and we only use the core 23.60%, 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% ratios.
CONCEPTS
Price action moves in trend cycles, these retracement levels help traders measure proportional relationships between the high/low swings in the price trend.
When a price trend is moving against the trend, traders can find opportunities to trade with the current trend at key Fibonacci levels. Fibonacci levels can be used to anticipate where price might find supply/demand imbalance and continue moving in the trend direction.
Traders apply the indicator by selecting a window of price they want to analyze in the chart display, and the Fibonacci Snap tool will snap to the high and low of the visible price display.
The Intent and Use of This Tool
The 23.60% level acts as a momentum or continuation of trend. The 38.20% to 61.80% range are corrective zones of the trend.
The 61.80% level, also known as the golden ratio (Google the term “Golden Ratio”; it's fun), can often represent the location of supply/demand imbalance.
In an uptrend, it can represent the area of no more selling supply, and the balance can shift to buying demand. In a downtrend, it can represent the area of no more buying demand and the balance can shift to selling supply.
When used with the Momentum Zones indicator, these two tools create a powerful combination for traders to find, implement, and manage trades.

The indicator continuously tracks the position of price relative to the chosen moving average.
It maintains a count of how many candles in a row have been above or below the moving average.
For each sequence length, it records historical data on how often the trend continued or reversed in the past.
This historical data is used to calculate probabilities for the next candle's direction, providing a statistical insight into potential price movements.
The indicator displays this information directly on the chart, allowing for quick and easy interpretation.
Practical Applications
Trend Confirmation: Use the indicator to confirm the strength and direction of current trends.
Entry and Exit Signals: The sequence counter and probability calculations can help in timing trades more effectively.
Risk Management: Understanding the statistical likelihood of trend continuation can aid in setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Market Analysis: The indicator provides valuable insights into market behavior and can be used for both short-term and long-term analysis.
While the Trend Analyzer provides valuable insights based on historical data and statistical analysis, it's important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. The financial markets are complex and influenced by numerous factors. This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as a sole decision-making tool. Always practice proper risk management and consider seeking advice from financial professionals before making investment decisions.
Sigma ScoreFunction and Purpose
The Sigma Score indicator is a tool for analyzing volatility and identifying unusual price movements of a financial instrument over a specified timeframe. It calculates the "Sigma Score," which measures how far the current price change deviates from its historical average in terms of standard deviations. This helps identify potential extremes and unusual market conditions.
Features
Timeframe Control
Users can select the desired timeframe for analysis (e.g., minutes, hours, days). This makes the indicator adaptable to various trading styles:
Supported timeframes: Minutes (M1, M5, M10, M15), Hours (H1, H4, H12), Days (D), Weeks (W), Months (M).
Sigma Score Calculation
The indicator computes the logarithmic return between consecutive price values.
It calculates a simple moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation (StDev) of these returns.
The Sigma Score is derived as the difference between the current return and the average, divided by the standard deviation.
Visual Representation
Sigma Score Plot: The Sigma Score is displayed as a line.
Horizontal Threshold Lines:
A middle line (0) for reference.
Upper and lower threshold lines (default: 2.0 and -2.0) for highlighting extremes.
Background Highlighting:
Green for values above the upper threshold (positive deviations).
Red for values below the lower threshold (negative deviations).
Custom Settings
Timeframe
Select the timeframe for analysis using a dropdown menu (default: D for daily).
Thresholds
Upper Threshold: Default = 2.0 (positive extreme area).
Lower Threshold: Default = -2.0 (negative extreme area).
Both values can be adjusted to modify the indicator's sensitivity.
Use Cases
Identifying Extremes: Values above or below the thresholds can signal unusual market conditions, such as overbought or oversold areas.
Analyzing Market Anomalies: The Sigma Score quantifies how unusual a price movement is based on historical data.
Visual Aid: Threshold lines and background highlighting simplify the interpretation of boundary conditions.
Notes and Limitations
Timeframe Dependency: Results may vary depending on the selected timeframe. Shorter timeframes highlight short-term movements, while longer timeframes capture broader trends.
Volatility Sensitivity: The indicator is sensitive to changes in market volatility. Sudden price swings may produce extreme Sigma values.
Summary
The Sigma Score indicator is a powerful tool for traders and analysts to quickly identify unusual market conditions and make informed decisions. Its flexibility in adjusting timeframes and thresholds makes it a versatile addition to any trading strategy.

Coinbase Premium HeatmapCoinbase Premium Heatmap visualizes spot bitcoin premium (or discount) on Coinbase, relative to other spot markets, visualized as a heatmap overlay.
OPTIMIZED FOR CLARITY
Coinbase Premium can whipsaw quickly, with dramatic state changes over relatively brief periods, unnecessarily complicating its use (for our purposes).
To mitigate whipsaws, the script (a) averages premium/discount on an hourly basis, and (b) introduces lightweight exponential smoothing, to further simplify/clarify state.
WHY IT MATTERS
Spot Coinbase premium is a strong proxy for bullish institutional sentiment and net inflows/accumulation by western financial institutions, ETF providers, and corporations (like MicroStrategy) adding bitcoin to their treasury.
In aggregate, this holder cohort drives trend & sentiment more than any other, so it's important to know their directional bias.
HOW IT'S CALCULATED
Premium / discount calculates the spread between Coinbase spot BTC price, and spot price on Binance + Bybit. Calculation is averaged hourly, with light exponential smoothing.
HOW WE USE THE SCRIPT
When assessing optimal moments to hedge exposure (or sell spot assets) near a presumed impending cycle top, awareness of institutional sentiment is a crucial variable. This script:
(a) Filters out unnecessarily early cycle exit signals (if Coinbase premium is still present)
(b) Confirms other metrics that indicate an impending cycle top (if the neutral to bearish institutional sentiment we'd expect to see is in effect), and
(c) Visualizes state changes (from bearish to bullish & vice versa), that often make for good swing entries & exits on lower timeframes.
Dynamic RSI with Overbought/Oversold LinesDynamic RSI with Overbought/Oversold Lines
This indicator enhances the traditional RSI (Relative Strength Index) by dynamically adjusting the overbought and oversold levels based on the highest and lowest RSI values over a user-defined period. The indicator plots these levels as horizontal lines, allowing traders to visually identify when the market is "overbought" or "oversold."
Features:
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels: Automatically adjusts the overbought and oversold levels based on the highest and lowest RSI values within the defined period, ensuring more accurate signals tailored to the current market conditions.
Customizable RSI Period: Choose your preferred RSI period to suit your trading strategy.
Signal Alerts: Visual signals are displayed when the RSI crosses into the overbought or oversold zone, indicating potential reversal points.
Background Color Alerts: The background changes color when the RSI exceeds overbought or oversold levels, making it easier to spot these important zones at a glance.
Clean and Simple: A minimalist design focusing on the key elements, making it suitable for all traders.
How to Use:
Overbought Zone: When the RSI moves above the overbought line (red), it may indicate that the asset is overbought, signaling a potential price reversal or pullback.
Oversold Zone: When the RSI moves below the oversold line (green), it may indicate that the asset is oversold, signaling a potential price bounce or reversal.
This dynamic RSI indicator is perfect for those looking to capture market extremes and improve their trading decisions. It's especially useful for timeframes like 30-minute and 1-hour charts, where market conditions tend to shift more rapidly.
Cabal Dev IndicatorThis is a TradingView Pine Script (version 6) that creates a technical analysis indicator called the "Cabal Dev Indicator." Here's what it does:
1. Core Functionality:
- It calculates a modified version of the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI), which is a momentum indicator that shows where the current close is relative to the high/low range over a period
- The indicator combines elements of stochastic oscillator calculations with exponential moving averages (EMA)
2. Key Components:
- Uses configurable input parameters for:
- Percent K Length (default 15)
- Percent D Length (default 3)
- EMA Signal Length (default 15)
- Smoothing Period (default 5)
- Overbought level (default 40)
- Oversold level (default -40)
3. Calculation Method:
- Calculates the highest high and lowest low over the specified period
- Finds the difference between current close and the midpoint of the high-low range
- Applies EMA smoothing to both the range and relative differences
- Generates an SMI value and further smooths it using a simple moving average (SMA)
- Creates an EMA signal line based on the smoothed SMI
4. Visual Output:
- Plots the smoothed SMI line in green
- Plots an EMA signal line in red
- Shows overbought and oversold levels as gray horizontal lines
- Fills the areas above the overbought level with light red
- Fills the areas below the oversold level with light green
This indicator appears designed to help traders identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market, as well as momentum shifts, which could be used for trading decisions.

MultiLayer Awesome Oscillator Saucer Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
MultiLayer Awesome Oscillator Saucer Strategy leverages the combination of Awesome Oscillator (AO), Williams Alligator, Williams Fractals and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Awesome Oscillator is used for creating signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one.
Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory.
2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3. Awesome Oscillator shall create the "Saucer" long signal (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph). Buy stop order is placed one tick above the candle's high of last created "Saucer signal".
4. If price reaches the order price, long position is opened with 10% of capital.
5. If currently we have opened position and price creates and hit the order price of another one "Saucer" signal another one long position will be added to the previous with another one 10% of capital. Strategy allows to open up to 5 long trades simultaneously.
6. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened.
Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting: EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation). User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Let's go through all concepts used in this strategy to understand how they works together. Let's start from the easies one, the EMA. Let's briefly explain what is EMA. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It is commonly used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. It can be calculated with the following steps:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy uses EMA an initial long term trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend.
Let's go to the next, short-term trend filter which consists of Alligator and Fractals. Let's briefly explain what do these indicators means. The Williams Alligator, developed by Bill Williams, is a technical indicator designed to spot trends and potential market reversals. It uses three smoothed moving averages, referred to as the jaw, teeth, and lips:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When these lines diverge and are properly aligned, the "alligator" is considered "awake," signaling a strong trend. Conversely, when the lines overlap or intertwine, the "alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator assists traders in identifying when to act on or avoid trades.
The Williams Fractals, another tool introduced by Bill Williams, are used to pinpoint potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms when there are at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar displaying the highest high (for an up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), relative to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often combine fractals with other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, improving the accuracy of trading decisions.
How we use their combination in this strategy? Let’s consider an uptrend example. A breakout above an up fractal can be interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating a high likelihood that an uptrend is beginning. Here's the reasoning: an up fractal represents a potential shift in market behavior. When the fractal forms, it reflects a pullback caused by traders selling, creating a temporary high. However, if the price manages to return to that fractal’s high and break through it, it suggests the market has "changed its mind" and a bullish trend is likely emerging.
The moment of the breakout marks the potential transition to an uptrend. It’s crucial to note that this breakout must occur above the Alligator's teeth line. If it happens below, the breakout isn’t valid, and the downtrend may still persist. The same logic applies inversely for down fractals in a downtrend scenario.
So, if last up fractal breakout was higher, than Alligator's teeth and it happened after last down fractal breakdown below teeth, algorithm considered current trend as an uptrend. During this uptrend long trades can be opened if signal was flashed. If during the uptrend price breaks down the down fractal below teeth line, strategy considered that uptrend is finished with the high probability and strategy closes all current long trades. This combination is used as a short term trend filter increasing the probability of opening profitable long trades in addition to EMA filter, described above.
Now let's talk about Awesome Oscillator's "Sauser" signals. Briefly explain what is the Awesome Oscillator. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
Now we know what is AO, but what is the "Saucer" signal? This concept was introduced by Bill Williams, let's briefly explain it and how it's used by this strategy. Initially, this type of signal is a combination of the following AO bars: we need 3 bars in a row, the first one shall be higher than the second, the third bar also shall be higher, than second. All three bars shall be above the zero line of AO. The price bar, which corresponds to third "saucer's" bar is our signal bar. Strategy places buy stop order one tick above the price bar which corresponds to signal bar.
After that we can have the following scenarios.
Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price.
Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower low. If current AO bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AO bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next "Saucer" signal.
If long trades has been opened strategy use all the next signals until number of trades doesn't exceed 5. All trades are closed when the trend changes to downtrend according to combination of Alligator and Fractals described above.
Why we use "Saucer" signals? If AO above the zero line there is a high probability that price now is in uptrend if we take into account our two trend filters. When we see the decreasing bars on AO and it's above zero it's likely can be considered as a pullback on the uptrend. When we see the stop of AO decreasing and the first increasing bar has been printed there is a high probability that this local pull back is finished and strategy open long trade in the likely direction of a main trend.
Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next saucer signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.
