3SMA + Ichimoku 2leadlineThis indicator simultaneously displays two lines, which are the leading spans of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, and three simple moving averages.
To make it easier to distinguish between the simple moving average line and the line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, the simple moving average line is set to level 2 thickness by default.
Also, the color of Reading Span 1 in the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo has been changed from green to lime to improve color visibility.
I (author of this indicator) use this indicator especially as a simple perspective on the cryptocurrency BTC / USD(USDT).
If this indicator is a problem, moderators don't know about tradingview beginners.
" Visibility " should be a high-priority item not only for indicators but also for graph requirements.
Visibility is one of the most important factors for investors who have to make instant decisions in one minute and one second.
The purpose of this indicator is to display two leading spans that are easily noticed in the Ichimoku cloud and three simple moving averages whose set values can be changed.
This is because chart analysis often uses a combination of a simple moving average of three periods and two lead spans of the Ichimoku cloud.
Also, in chart analysis, green is often displayed with the same thickness on both the moving average line and the Ichimoku cloud.
Therefore, if the moving average line and the Ichimoku cloud often use the same green color, the visibility will drop. Therefore, the green color of Ichimoku cloud was changed to lime color by default.
Tradingview beginners often refer only to the two lines of the leading span of Ichimoku Cloud. Therefore, we decided not to draw lines that are difficult to use.
Many Tradingview beginners don't know that you can change the thickness of the indicator .
Therefore, this indicator shows by DEFAULT the three commonly used simple moving averages that are thickened by one step at the same time.
Also, since the same green color is often used for the Ichimoku cloud and the moving average line, the green color of the preceding span of the Ichimoku cloud is changed to lime color by default.
The originality of this indicator is that it enhances " visibility " so that novice tradingview users will not be confused on the chart screen.
The lines other than the preceding span of the Ichimoku cloud are not displayed, and the moving average line is level 2 thick so that the user can easily see it.
This indicator not only combines a simple moving average and Ichimoku cloud, but also improves "visibility" by not incorporating lines that are difficult to see from the beginning and making it only the minimum display, making it easy for beginners to understand. The purpose is to do.
If any of the other TradingView indicators already meet the following, acknowledge that this indicator is not original.
・Display 3 simple moving averages at the same time
・For visibility, the thickness of the simple moving average line is set to level 2 from the beginning.
・A setting that does not dare to draw lines other than the lead span of Ichimoku cloud.
・Make the moving average line and the Ichimoku cloud line different colors and thicknesses from the beginning.

Point and Figure Chart - LiveHello Traders,
This is "Point and Figure Chart (PnF)" script that run in separated window in real time. The separated PnF chart window is timeless, so no relation with the time on the chart. PnF chart consist of "X" and "O" columns. While "X" columns represents rising prices, "O" column represents a falling price. If you have no idea about what PnF charting is then you should search for "Point and Figure Charting" on the net and get some info before using this script.
Now lets talk about details. PnF Chart requires at least two variables to be set => Box size and Reversal. Box size represents the size of each X/O in PnF chart and the reversal is used to calculate new X/O or reversal. for example if currrent column is X column then for new "X", "box size * 1" move is needed and for new "O" column or reversal, "box size * revelsal" move is needed. in the script I use lines as X/O columns.
In the options you can set "Box Size Assingment Method". you have 3 options Traditional, ATR, Percentage . what are they?
Traditional: user-defined box size, means you can set the box size as you wish, using the option . if you use this option then you should set it accordingly.
ATR : that's dynamic box size scaling and on each columns it's calculated once, you can set length for ATR
Percentage: that's also dynamic box size scaling according to closing price when new column appeared. if you use this option then you should set it accordingly.
Reversal: The reversal is typically 3 but you can change it as you wish
"Change Bar Color by PnF Trend": if you enable this option then bar color changes by PnF columns, by default it's not enabled
"Change Column Color When Breakout Occurs": PnF color changes if Double Top/Bottom breakout accours. enabled by default and you can set the colors as you wish using the options
"Change Bar Color When Breakout Occurs": bar colors changed if Double Top/Bottom breakout accours. enabled by default and you can set the colors as you wish using the options
the script checks only Double Top/Bottom breakouts at the moment. there are many other breakouts such Triple/Quadruple, Ascending/Descending Triple Top/Bottom breakouts, Catapult etc.
Also the script shows new X/O level and reversal Levels in PnF window. An example:
If you enable "Change Bar Color by PnF Trend" option:
An example if you disable the option "Change Column Color When Breakout Occurs
You may want to see my another/older "Point and Point Chart" script as well. you can find it in my profile/published scripts and in the Public Library. I use same PnF calculation algorithm in both scripts.
Enjoy!
LBR 3-10 OscillatorThis is a variation of MACD popularised by Linda Bradford Raschke. Instead of the regular MACD settings, the this indicator uses simple moving averages, not exponential moving averages, and a setting of 3 for the fast MA, 10 for the slow MA and 16 for the signal line.
The signal line (red) acts as a trend indicator, with crossings of the zero line indicating trend changes, while the MACD line (blue) acts as a short term momentum indicator.
Setups:
- First cross: This is basically selling or buying at the first pullback after a trend change. Buy or sell after the signal line has crossed the zero line and the MACD crosses the signal line for the first time after the trend change. Use price action to time the entry after the pullback — you don't need to wait for the MACD to cross the signal line again.
- Pullback in a trend: The MACD crosses the signal line in the opposite direction of the trend irregardless of when the trend change occurred. Use price action to time the entry.
- Divergence: The MACD line shows a pattern diverging form price (e.g. makes higher lows whereas price makes lower lows). This can be an indication of trend reversal or waning.
In the indicator's input panel there is an option for showing standard deviation bands (turned off by default). MACD line crossing the standard deviation bands can indicate oversold and overbought conditions.
The indicator comes with the following alerts:
- First cross downtrend
- First cross uptrend
- Pullback in downtrend
- Pullback in uptrend
- Trend change down
- Trend change up

Neglected Volume by DGTVolume is one piece of information that is often neglected, however, learning to interpret volume brings many advantages and could be of tremendous help when it comes to analyzing the markets. In addition to technicians, fundamental investors also take notice of the numbers of shares traded for a given security.
What is Volume?
The volume represents all the recorded trades for a security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security. Think of volume as the force that drives the market. Volume substantiates, energizes, and empowers price. When volume increases, it confirms price direction; when volume decreases, it contradicts price direction.
In theory, increases in volume generally precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing or unchanged, it may show that there’s little interest in the security, and the price may reverse.
A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion.
Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume, you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows
Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
note : there’s no centralized exchange where trades are recorded, so the volume data represents what happens at a particular exchange only
In most charting platforms, the volume indicator is presented as color-coded bars, green if the security closes up and red if the security closed lower, where the height of the bars show the amount of the recorded trades
Within this study, Relative Volume , Volume Weighted Bars and Volume Moving Average are presented, where Relative Volume relates current trading volume to past trading volume over long period, Volume Weighted Bars presents price bars colored based on short period past trading volume average, and Volume Moving Average is average of volume over shot period
Relative Volume is presented as color-coded bars similar to regular Volume indicator but uses four color codes instead two. Notable increases of volume are presented in green and red while average values with back and gray, hence adding ability to emphasis notable increases in the volume. It is kind of a like a radar for how "in-play" a security is. Users are allowed to change the threshold, default value is set to Fibonacci golden ration standard deviation away from its moving average.
Volume Weighted Bars, a study of Kıvanç Özbilgiç, aims to present if price movements are supported by Volume. Volume Weighted Bars are calculated based on shot period volume moving average which will reflect more recent changes in volume. Price actions with high volume will be displayed with darker colors, average volume values will remain as they are and low volume values will be indicated with lighter colors.
Volume Moving Average, Is short period volume moving average, aims to display visually the volume changes. Please not that Relative Volume bars are calculated based on standard deviation of long volume moving average.
What Else?
Apart from the volume itself, your ability to assess what volume is telling you in conjunction with price action can be a key factor in your ability to turn a profit in the market. It makes little sense to analyze the volume alone. To correctly interpret the volume data, it shall be seen in the light of what the price is doing. there are a lot of other indicators that are based on the volume data as well as price action. Analysing those volume indicators has always helped traders and investors to better understand what is happening in the market.
Here are the ones adapted with this study. Some of them used as a source for our aim, some adapted as they are with slight changes to fit visually to this study and please note that the numerical presentation may differ from their regular use
• On Balance Volume
• Divergence Indicator
• Correlation Coefficient
• Chaikin Money Flow
Shortly;
On Balance Volume
The On Balance Volume indicator, is a technical analysis indicator that relates volume flow to changes in a security’s price. It uses a cumulative total of positive and negative trading volume to predict the direction of price. The OBV is a volume-based momentum oscillator, so it is a leading indicator — it changes direction before the price
Granville, creator of OBV, proposed the theory that changes in volume precede price movements in a measurable way. He believed that volume was the main force behind major market moves and thought of OBV’s prediction of price changes as a compressed spring that expands rapidly when released.
It is believed that the OBV shows the interactions between the institutional and retail traders in the market
If the price makes a new high, the OBV should also make a new high. If the OBV makes a lower high when the price makes a higher high, there’s a classical bearish divergence — indicating that only the retail traders are buying. Another type of bearish divergence occurs when the price remains relatively quiet and fails to make a higher high but the OBV soars higher than the previous high — indicating that the institutional traders are accumulating short positions. On the other hand, if the price makes a lower low and the OBV makes a higher low, there is a classical bullish divergence, showing that the institutional traders don’t believe in that move
With this study, Momentum and Acceleration (optional) of OBV is calculated and presented, where momentum is most commonly referred to as a rate and measures the acceleration of the price and/or volume of a security. It is also referred to as a technical analysis indicator and oscillator that is able to determine market trends.
Additionally, smoothing functionality with Least Squares Method is added
Divergences especially, should always be noted as a possible reversal in the current trend, so the divergence indicator is adapted with this study where the Momentum of OBV is assumed as Oscillator with similar usages as to RSI. Divergence is most often used to track and analyze the momentum in an asset’s price and the odds of a price reversal within the current trend. The divergence indicator warns traders and technical analysts of changes in a price/volume trend, oftentimes that it is weakening or changing direction.
Correlation Coefficient
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables. A correlation of -1.0 shows a perfect negative correlation, while a correlation of 1.0 shows a perfect positive correlation. A correlation of 0.0 shows no linear relationship between the movement of the two variables. In other words, the closer the Correlation Coefficient is to 1.0, indicates the instruments will move up and down together as it is mostly expected with volume and price. So the Correlation Coefficient Indicator aims to display when the price and volume (on balance volume) is in correlation and when not. With this study blue represent positive correlation while orange negative correlation. The strength of the correlation is determined by the width of the bands, to emphasis the effect horizontal lines are drawn with values set to 0.5 and -0.5. the values above 0.5 (or below -0.5) shows stronger correlation.
Chaikin Money Flow , provide optionally as a companion indicator
The Chaikin money flow indicator (CMF) is a volume indicator that measures the money flow volume over a chosen period. The money flow volume is a measure of the volume and where the price closed relative to the trading session’s range. It comes from the idea that buying pressure is indicated by a rising volume and recurrent closes in the upper part of the session’s price range while selling pressure is demonstrated by an increasing volume and repeated closes in the lower part of the price range.
Both buying and selling pressures are accompanied by an increase in volume, but the location of the closing prices are in accordance with the direction of price

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Donchian Channel Width This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
The Donchian Channel was developed by Richard Donchian and it could be compared
to the Bollinger Bands. When it comes to volatility analysis, the Donchian Channel
Width was created in the same way as the Bollinger Bandwidth technical indicator was.
As was mentioned above the Donchian Channel Width is used in technical analysis to measure
volatility. Volatility is one of the most important parameters in technical analysis.
A price trend is not just about a price change. It is also about volume traded during this
price change and volatility of a this price change. When a technical analyst focuses his/her
attention solely on price analysis by ignoring volume and volatility, he/she only sees a part
of a complete picture only. This could lead to a situation when a trader may miss something and
lose money. Lets take a look at a simple example how volatility may help a trader:
Most of the price based technical indicators are lagging indicators.
When price moves on low volatility, it takes time for a price trend to change its direction and
it could be ok to have some lag in an indicator.
When price moves on high volatility, a price trend changes its direction faster and stronger.
An indicator's lag acceptable under low volatility could be financially suicidal now - Buy/Sell signals could be generated when it is already too late.
Another use of volatility - very popular one - it is to adapt a stop loss strategy to it:
Smaller stop-loss recommended in low volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be generated when it is too late.
Bigger stop-loss recommended in high volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be triggered too often and you may miss good trades.

CCI RiderThis is my thank you to the TradingView community, for the people who are sharing their scripts, which allowed me to learn Pine Script.
So here is my first creation, feel free to experiment, modify and use it as you wish.
It is a CCI(default value is 100, can be changed), combined with an EMA of that CCI(default 21,changeable) that then colors the background according to the strength of the signal(if selected to do so).
To generate strong signals, it also uses Bollinger Bands to prevent whipsaws in high volatility situations.
The best signals are generated when the CCI crosses the limits set by the user (default is 100/-100), and is above/belov its EMA.
Exit signals are indicated, when the CCI crosses its EMA.
Unfortunately in strong trends, this exit signal is sometimes premature, using a 3x resolution of the indicator will improve this, maybe I will implement this in a later version.
I use it mostly in 15min charts and higher, I found in shorter timeframes still a lot of whipsaws, maybe experimenting with different lengths and levels will improve this.
As the Indicator allows the user to experiment with different lenghts and levels, and the colors will change according the setting, I find it a nice tool to search for the best mixture for different securities and timeframes.
See below an example of a nice signal.
I do suggest to use it in combination with other indicators.
ROC'n-H is a ROC indicator with dynamic length From Investopedia "The Price Rate of Change (ROC) is a momentum-based technical indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a certain number of periods ago.
The ROC indicator is plotted against zero, with the indicator moving upwards into positive territory if price changes are to the upside, and moving into negative territory if price changes are to the downside."
In this script, ROC length (the moment from when ROC is calculated) is set by detected trend change.
Trend change is marked by indicators background colour.
"Trend Lenght" - Adjust this to fit the security and time frame
"SMA" - Simple Moving Average
"MHA" - Hull Moving Average
Feedback for improvements are welcome.
Zindarra Multi Alerts Advanced (8 Symbols, 8 Levels) by RRBZindarra Multi Alerts Advanced by RRB by RagingRocketBull 2018
Version 1.0
This indicator lets you configure multiple alert levels for several assets. Zindarra Multi Alerts Advanced supports 8 symbols with 8 custom alert levels.
You can have an M:M relationship betweeen symbols and levels, for example:
- 4 symbols each boxed by 2 alerts above/below the price
- 3 symbols with 1 alert each
- 2 symbols, 1st with 2 alerts, 2nd - with 6 alerts
- 1 symbol with 8 alerts etc
There are several versions: Simple, Pro, Advanced and Ultimate. This is the Advanced version. The Differences are listed below.
- Simple: 10 Alert Levels, 1 plot mode, alert type: cross, no colors/triggered alerts
- Pro: 9 Alert Levels, 2 plot modes: plot/price line, alert type: cross, +change/swap colors, +hide/disable triggered alerts, 2 penetration modes (close, high/low), trigger on confirmed close
- Advanced: 8 Symbols/Tickers, 8 Alert Levels, +alert types: cross up/cross down, no color change. Display sources as lines/candles, normalize, scale/shift independently
- Ultimate: 5 Symbols/Tickers, 8 Alert Levels, +alert types: volume/price %/abs change, volume/ema/time cross
Features:
- 8 custom symbols, symbols:levels = M:M
- 8 custom alert levels with labels. For each alert there must be a corresponding non-empty symbol (can be a duplicate)
- alert types: cross/cross up/cross down
- normalize symbols (and alert levels) to 100% to compare,
- scale and shift each symbol (and alert levels) to position on a chart independently
- 1 alert levels plot mode: plot
- 2 symbol types: line/candles
- colorize symbol candles
- high/low or close level penetration modes
- show/hide levels/labels
- keep or auto disable triggered alerts
- trigger alerts only after a confirmed close
You will see all symbols on a single chart at the same time with their corresponding alert levels. From this chart you can manage all alerts configured for multiple assets.
Although TradingView has 2 percentage scale modes (Percent, Indexed to 100), somehow they still fail to be usefull when comparing multiple assets.
This indicator lets you normalize all symbols to 100% making a direct single scale comparison between assets with vastly different price levels possible.
All alert levels will be normalized as well.
TradingView does not let you move the plots attached to left scale. When scaled they all remain stuck in the center and can't be moved vertically or relative to each other.
This indicator lets you position all symbols independently using individual scale and shift settings. For example, you can:
- split your screen in 3 horiz areas and have a symbol in each of them without overlapping or
- have several partially overlapping assets with different scale each or
- have all assets fully overlapping and normalized to the same 100% scale
You have to manually create an alert in Manage Alerts Panel and configure it to use with this indicator.
Free accounts are limited to only 1 alert slot and this indicator will take it (any existing alerts must be disabled/stopped).
Once the alert is configured, the indicator can be removed from chart to free a slot for another indicator, but you won't see the alert levels.
Usage:
1. attach indicator to a chart
2. define alert levels in UI settings
3. in TradingView's Manage Alerts panel on the right:
- for free accounts: disable/stop all existing alerts, you are limited to 1 alert slot only. Otherwise you won't be able to save.
- create a new Alert:
- select 'Multi Alerts' indicator name in the Condition dropdown box, leave Level 1 and Multi Alerts Cross as default options
- select 'Once Per Bar' or 'Once Per Minute' instead of 'Only Once' to trigger the alert multiple times
5. click Save. Your 9 alerts are enabled now.
Change Settings:
1. change levels/settings in UI. Any changes will also reset already triggered levels visibility.
2. in Manage Alerts panel:
- open/edit the alert you created
- select new instance of 'Multi Alerts' indicator name in the Condition dropdown box (appears at the bottom)
- check the Condition dropdown again - a single instance should remain selected.
3. click Save. Your alert settings are updated.
Notes on using alerts:
- attaching this indicator to a chart and configuring alert levels will not automatically enable the alerts - you have to manually create/configure a new alert in the Alerts Panel
- removing this indicator from chart will not disable the alerts, you have to manually disable the alert you created in the Alerts Panel
- your alert in the Alerts Panel uses another instance (copy) of indicator/settings. Any changes won't affect the alert. You have to manually update the alert every time you change any settings in the indicator.
- recompiling and attaching your own version of indicator will require creating a new Alert (delete the old one).
- alerts are designed to work in realtime. In replay mode you will see triggered alert levels hiding/changing colors but there will be no system alert messages. It's best to test the indicator in realtime on M1 (1 min) chart
- you will only see 1 system alert per bar/60 sec when multiple alert levels are crossed with a single bar or across several symbols at the same time. However all of these levels will hide in the indicator as expected.
- you can only see the alert levels when the indicator is attached to chart, they are not shown by the system alert.
- For source=high/low a directional level penetration is used automatically (crossunder/low and crossover/high). For source=close a standard bidirectional cross is used unless another alert type is specified.
- normalization breaks/distorts alert levels and symbol price - this is normal and is expected. To view the real price of alert levels uncheck normalize - the first 8 outputs are alert levels. Unnormalized levels are straight lines.
- you will see alerts from all symbols in the system alert message box of the current symbol - a bit confusing, but there's no workaround, you can't have a customized alert message for each symbol/level
- many tickers as arguments can stretch/break TradingView's Create New Alert dialog but it's still possible to push all required buttons and Save.
- duplicate symbols will be displayed by default. You can manually hide duplicates using show/hide flags.
- empty tickers (and corresponding alerts) are essentially disabled

Open Interest Weighted Average Price [Arjo]Open Interest Weighted Average Price , or OIWAP , is a simple visual indicator that shows the average price of an asset based on changes in open interest .
Instead of using trading volume like VWAP, this indicator gives more weight to prices where new futures contracts are being added or removed . This helps highlight the price levels where traders are actively building or closing positions.
The indicator shows:
A main line that represents the average price weighted by open interest changes.
Upper and lower bands (standard deviation bands) that show how far the price moves away from this average.
OIWAP is mainly useful for NSE futures markets , where open interest data is available. It helps traders visually understand where most market participation and positioning are taking place relative to price .
Concepts:
Applies statistical concepts, including weighted averaging and standard deviation, to open interest data
Uses the absolute change in open interest as a weighting factor for each price point
Creates a dynamic average that reflects where significant open interest activity has occurred during a given period
Standard deviation bands are computed from this weighted average to show the statistical spread of prices around the OIWAP line
Resets calculations based on user-selected time periods (daily, weekly, monthly, or session-based)
Allows for fresh analysis at regular intervals
Similar concept to volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicators, but uses open interest changes as the weighting component
Features:
Weighted Average: Calculates a central line based on contract activity.
Flexible Anchors: Allows users to choose the reset period for the calculation.
Volatility Bands: Displays outer and mid-bands to visualize price stretches.
Data Check: Built-in alerts notify you if Open Interest data is missing for a symbol.
Visual Zones: Color-coded areas help identify price location at a glance.
How To Use
When you add the indicator to your chart, you will see:
A main OIWAP line — the open-interest-weighted price level
Mid-bands around the line (±0.5 standard deviations)
Outer bands farther away (±2.0 standard deviations)
Shaded background zones between these lines
You can:
Change the reset period to see how the average behaves over different time ranges
Adjust the timeframe for open-interest data
Turn mid-bands on or off
Adjust colors and styles to improve readability
Conclusion
The OIWAP indicator serves as an educational tool for visualizing the relationship between price movements and open interest activity in futures markets
Presents a weighted average price line along with statistical deviation bands
Offers a structured framework for chart analysis
Customizable settings allow users to adapt the display to their analytical preferences
Maintains focus on visual interpretation rather than directional predictions
Functions as a supplementary charting overlay that may complement other forms of technical and fundamental analysis

GARCH Volume Volatility [MarkitTick]Title: GARCH Volume Volatility
Description
Overview
The GARCH Volume Volatility (GV) indicator is a sophisticated quantitative tool designed to analyze the rate of change in market participation. While the vast majority of technical indicators focus on Price Volatility (how much price moves), this script focuses on Volume Volatility (how unstable the participation is).
Market volume is rarely distributed evenly; it tends to cluster. Periods of high activity are often followed by more high activity, and periods of calm tend to persist. This behavior is known as "heteroskedasticity." This script utilizes an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) model—a core component of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) frameworks—to model these changing variance regimes.
By isolating volume volatility from raw volume data, this tool helps traders distinguish between sustainable liquidity flows and erratic, unsustainable volume shocks that often precede market reversals or breakouts.
Methodology and Calculations
1. Logarithmic vs. Percentage Returns
The foundation of this indicator is the calculation of "Volume Returns"—the period-over-period change in volume.
- The script defaults to Logarithmic Returns. In financial statistics, log returns are preferred because they normalize data that can vary wildly in magnitude (such as cryptocurrency volume spikes), providing a more symmetric view of changes.
- Users can opt for standard percentage changes if they prefer a linear approach.
2. Variance Proxy (Squared Returns)
To measure volatility, the direction of the volume change (up or down) matters less than the magnitude. The script squares the returns to create a "Variance Proxy." This ensures that a massive drop in volume is treated with the same statistical weight as a massive spike in volume—both represent a significant change in the volatility of participation.
3. GARCH-Style Smoothing (EWMA)
Standard Moving Averages (SMA) treat all data points in the lookback period equally. However, volatility is dynamic. This script uses an EWMA model with a tunable "Lambda" (Decay Factor).
- The Recursive Formula: The current calculation relies on a weighted average of the current variance and the previous period's smoothed variance.
- Memory Effect: This allows the indicator to "remember" recent volatility shocks while gradually letting their influence fade. This mimics the GARCH process of conditional variance.
4. Dynamic Statistical Thresholds
The final output is the Volatility (square root of variance). To make this data actionable, the script calculates a dynamic upper and lower limit based on the standard deviation (Z-Score) of the volatility itself over a user-defined lookback period.
How to Use
The indicator plots a histogram that categorizes the market into four distinct volatility regimes:
1. High Volatility (Red Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > High Band (Upper Standard Deviation).
Interpretation: This signals an extreme anomaly in volume stability. This is not just "high volume," but "erratic volume behavior." This often occurs at:
- Capitulation bottoms (panic selling).
- Euphoric tops (blow-off tops).
- Major news events or earnings releases.
2. Elevated Volatility (Maroon Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > Mean Average.
Interpretation: The market is in an active state. Participation is changing rapidly, but within statistically normal bounds. This is common during healthy, trending moves where new participants are entering the market steadily.
3. Normal/Low Volatility (Green Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility is within the lower bands.
Interpretation: The market volume is stable. There are no sudden shocks in participation. This is typical of consolidation phases or "creeping" trends where the price drifts without significant volume conviction.
4. Extremely Low Volatility (Bright Green/Transparent)
Trigger: Volatility < Low Band.
Interpretation: The "calm before the storm." When volume volatility collapses to near-zero, it implies that the market has reached a state of equilibrium or disinterest. Historically, volatility is cyclical; periods of extreme compression often lead to violent expansion.
Settings and Configuration
Core Settings
- Use EWMA: When checked (Default), uses the recursive GARCH-style calculation. If unchecked, it reverts to a simple SMA of variance, which is less sensitive to recent shocks but more stable.
- Log Returns: Uses natural log for calculations. Highly recommended for assets with exponential growth or large volume ranges.
- Length: The baseline period for the calculation.
- Threshold Lookback: The number of bars used to calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation bands.
- EWMA Lambda: The decay factor (0.0 to 1.0). A value of 0.94 is standard for risk metrics.
-- Higher Lambda (e.g., 0.98): The indicator reacts slower and is smoother (long memory).
-- Lower Lambda (e.g., 0.80): The indicator reacts very fast to new data (short memory).
Visuals
- Show Thresholds: Toggles the visibility of the statistical bands on the chart.
- High Band (StdDev): The multiplier for the upper warning zone. Default is 1.5 deviations. Increasing this to 2.0 or 3.0 will filter for only the most extreme events.

4-State MACD Background System
This is the unique feature of this indicator. The chart background dynamically changes based on MACD momentum analysis, providing instant visual feedback on trend strength and direction:
🟢 Strong Bullish (Bright Green)
MACD line is above signal line
Histogram is growing (momentum accelerating upward)
Indicates strong upward momentum
🟢 Weak Bullish (Pale Green)
MACD line is above signal line
Histogram is shrinking (momentum decelerating)
Early warning signal that uptrend may be weakening
🔴 Strong Bearish (Bright Red)
MACD line is below signal line
Histogram is falling (momentum accelerating downward)
Indicates strong downward momentum
🔴 Weak Bearish (Pale Red)
MACD line is below signal line
Histogram is rising (momentum decelerating)
Early warning signal that downtrend may be weakening
🎯 HOW TO USE
For Trend Trading:
Strong colored backgrounds indicate confirmed momentum in that direction - consider staying with the trend
Weak colored backgrounds signal potential momentum exhaustion - watch for possible reversals
Use VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance level
Bollinger Band breakouts combined with strong MACD backgrounds can confirm trend strength
Price above VWAP + strong bullish background = bullish bias
Price below VWAP + strong bearish background = bearish bias
For Mean Reversion:
Price touching upper/lower Bollinger Bands with weak MACD background may suggest potential reversal
VWAP acts as a mean reversion anchor during range-bound sessions
Background color shifts from strong to weak often precede price direction changes
Look for price return to VWAP when extended beyond bands with weakening momentum
Signal Confirmation:
Strongest signals occur when multiple indicators align:
BB breakout + MACD strong color + price above/below VWAP
Price rejection at BB bands + MACD color weakening
VWAP support/resistance hold + MACD color change

US Market Long Horizon Momentum Summary in one paragraph
US Market Long Horizon Momentum is a trend following strategy for US index ETFs and futures built around a single eighteen month time series momentum measure. It helps you stay long during persistent bull regimes and step aside or flip short when long term momentum turns negative.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap US equity indices, liquid US index ETFs, index futures
• Timeframes. 4h/ Daily charts
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 4h timeframe chart
• Purpose. Provide a minimal long bias index timing model that can reduce deep drawdowns and capture major cycles without parameter mining
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. One unscaled multiple month log return of an external benchmark symbol drives all entries and exits, with optional volatility targeting as a single risk control switch.
• Failure mode addressed. Fully passive buy and hold ignores the sign of long horizon momentum and can sit through multi year drawdowns. This script offers a way to step down risk in prolonged negative momentum without chasing short term noise.
• Testability. All parameters are visible in Inputs and the momentum series is plotted so users can verify every regime change in the Tester and on price history.
• Portable yardstick. The log return over a fixed window is a unit that can be applied to any liquid symbol with daily data.
Method overview in plain language
The method looks at how far the benchmark symbol has moved in log return terms over an eighteen month window in our example. If that long horizon return is positive the strategy allows a long stance on the traded symbol. If it is negative and shorts are enabled the strategy can flip short, otherwise it goes flat. There is an optional realised volatility estimate on the traded symbol that can scale position size toward a target annual volatility, but in the default configuration the model uses unit leverage and only the sign of momentum matters.
Base measures
Return basis. The core yardstick is the natural log of close divided by the close eighteen months ago on the benchmark symbol. Daily log returns of the traded symbol feed the realised volatility estimate when volatility targeting is enabled.
Components
• Component one Momentum eighteen months. Log of benchmark close divided by its close mom_lookback bars ago. Its sign defines the trend regime. No extra smoothing is applied beyond the long window itself.
• Component two Realised volatility optional. Standard deviation of daily log returns on the traded symbol over sixty three days. Annualised by the square root of 252. Used only when volatility targeting is enabled.
• Optional component Volatility targeting. Converts target annual volatility and realised volatility into a leverage factor clipped by a maximum leverage setting.
Fusion rule
The model uses a simple gate. First compute the sign of eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol. Optionally compute leverage from volatility. The sign decides whether the strategy wants to be long, short, or flat. Leverage only rescales position size when enabled and does not change direction.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion. When eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol is greater than zero, the strategy wants to be long.
• Short suggestion. When that log momentum is less than zero and shorts are allowed, the strategy wants to be short. If shorts are disabled it stays flat instead.
• Wait state. When the log momentum is exactly zero or history is not long enough the strategy stays flat.
• In position. In practice the strategy sits IN LONG while the sign stays positive and flips to IN SHORT or flat only when the sign changes.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Momentum Lookback (months). Controls the horizon of the log return on the benchmark symbol. Typical range 6 to 24 months. Raising it makes the model slower and more selective. Lowering it makes it more reactive and sensitive to medium term noise.
• Symbol. External symbol used for the momentum calculation, SPY by default. Changing it lets you time other indices or run signals from a benchmark while trading a correlated instrument.
Logic
• Allow Shorts. When true the strategy will open short positions during negative momentum regimes. When false it will stay flat whenever momentum is negative. Practical setting is tied to whether you use a margin account or an ETF that supports shorting.
Internal risk parameters (not exposed as inputs in this version) are:
• Target Vol (annual). Target annual volatility for volatility targeting, default 0.2.
• Vol Lookback (days). Window for realised volatility, default 63 trading days.
• Max Leverage. Cap on leverage when volatility targeting is enabled, default 2.
Usage recipes
Swing continuation
• Signal timeframe. Use the daily chart.
• Benchmark symbol. Leave at SPY for US equity index exposure.
• Momentum lookback. Eighteen months as a default, with twelve months as an alternative preset for a faster swing bias.

Realism and responsible publication
The strategy is for education and research only. It does not claim any guaranteed edge or future performance. All results in Strategy Tester are hypothetical and depend on the data vendor, costs, and slippage assumptions. Intrabar motion is not modeled inside daily bars so extreme moves and gaps can lead to fills that differ from live trading. The logic is built for standard candles and should not be used on synthetic chart types for execution decisions.
Performance is sensitive to regime structure in the US equity market, which may change over time. The strategy does not protect against single day crash risk inside bars and does not model gap risk explicitly. Past behavior of SPY and the momentum effect does not guarantee future persistence.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Long sideways regimes with small net change over eighteen months can lead to whipsaw around the zero line.
• Very sharp V shaped reversals after deep declines will often be missed because the model waits for momentum to turn positive again.
• The sample size in a full SPY history is small because regime changes are infrequent, so any test must be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically precise.
• The model is highly dependent on the chosen lookback. Users should test nearby values and validate that behavior is qualitatively stable.

Education and research only. Not investment advice. You are responsible for your own decisions. Always test on historical data and in simulation with realistic costs before any live use.
Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.
Global M2 Money Supply Growth (GDP-Weighted)📊 Global M2 Money Supply Growth (GDP-Weighted)
This indicator tracks the weighted aggregate M2 money supply growth across the world's four largest economies: United States, China, Eurozone, and Japan. These economies represent approximately 69.3 trillion USD in combined GDP and account for the majority of global liquidity, making this a comprehensive macro indicator for analyzing worldwide monetary conditions.
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY FEATURES:
📈 GDP-Weighted Aggregation
Each economy is weighted proportionally by its nominal GDP using 2025 IMF World Economic Outlook data:
• United States: 44.2% (30.62 trillion USD)
• China: 28.0% (19.40 trillion USD)
• Eurozone: 21.6% (15.0 trillion USD)
• Japan: 6.2% (4.28 trillion USD)
The weights are fully adjustable through the indicator settings, allowing you to update them annually as new IMF forecasts are released (typically April and October).
⏱️ Multiple Time Period Options
Choose between three calculation methods to analyze different timeframes:
• YoY (Year-over-Year): 12-month growth rate for identifying long-term liquidity trends and cycles
• MoM (Month-over-Month): 1-month growth rate for detecting short-term monetary policy shifts
• QoQ (Quarter-over-Quarter): 3-month growth rate for medium-term trend analysis
🔄 Advanced Offset Function
Shift the entire indicator forward by 0-365 days to test lead/lag relationships between global liquidity and asset prices. Research suggests a 56-70 day lag between M2 changes and Bitcoin price movements, but you can experiment with different offsets for various assets (equities, gold, commodities, etc.).
🌍 Individual Country Breakdown
Real-time display of each economy's M2 growth rate with:
• Current percentage change (YoY/MoM/QoQ)
• GDP weight contribution
• Color-coded values (green = monetary expansion, red = contraction)
📊 Smart Overlay Capability
Displays directly on your main price chart with an independent left-side scale, allowing you to visually correlate global liquidity trends with any asset's price action without cluttering the chart.
🔧 Customizable GDP Weights
All GDP values can be adjusted through the indicator settings without editing code, making annual updates simple and accessible for all users.
════════════════════════════════════════════
📡 DATA SOURCES:
All M2 money supply data is sourced from ECONOMICS (Trading Economics) for consistency and reliability:
• ECONOMICS:USM2 (United States)
• ECONOMICS:CNM2 (China)
• ECONOMICS:EUM2 (Eurozone)
• ECONOMICS:JPM2 (Japan)
All values are normalized to USD using current daily exchange rates (USDCNY, EURUSD, USDJPY) before GDP-weighted aggregation, ensuring accurate cross-country comparisons.
══════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 USE CASES & APPLICATIONS:
🔹 Liquidity Cycle Analysis
Track global monetary expansion/contraction cycles to identify when central banks are coordinating loose or tight monetary policies.
🔹 Market Timing & Risk Assessment
High M2 growth (>10%) historically correlates with risk-on environments and rising asset prices across crypto, equities, and commodities. Negative M2 growth signals monetary tightening and potential market corrections.
🔹 Bitcoin & Crypto Correlation
Compare with Bitcoin price using the offset feature to identify the optimal lag period. Many traders use 60-70 day offsets to predict crypto market movements based on liquidity changes.
🔹 Macro Portfolio Allocation
Use as a regime filter to adjust portfolio exposure: increase risk assets during liquidity expansion, reduce during contraction.
🔹 Central Bank Policy Divergence
Monitor individual country metrics to identify when major central banks are pursuing divergent policies (e.g., Fed tightening while China eases).
🔹 Inflation & Economic Forecasting
Rapid M2 growth often leads inflation by 12-18 months, making this a leading indicator for future inflation trends.
🔹 Recession Early Warning
Negative M2 growth is extremely rare and has preceded major recessions, making this a valuable risk management tool.
════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 INTERPRETATION GUIDE:
🟢 +10% or Higher
Aggressive monetary expansion, typically during crises (2001, 2008, 2020). The COVID-19 period saw M2 growth reach 20-27%, which preceded significant inflation and asset price surges. Strong bullish signal for risk assets.
🟢 +6% to +10%
Above-average liquidity growth. Central banks are providing stimulus beyond normal levels. Generally favorable for equities, crypto, and commodities.
🟡 +3% to +6%
Normal/healthy growth rate, roughly in line with GDP growth plus 2% inflation targets. Neutral environment with moderate support for risk assets.
🟠 0% to +3%
Slowing liquidity, potential tightening phase beginning. Central banks may be raising rates or reducing balance sheets. Caution warranted for high-beta assets.
🔴 Negative Growth
Monetary contraction - extremely rare. Only occurred during aggressive Fed tightening in 2022-2023. Strong warning signal for risk assets, often precedes recessions or major market corrections.
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OPTIMAL USAGE:
📅 Recommended Timeframes:
• Daily or Weekly charts for macro analysis
• Monthly charts for very long-term trends
💹 Compatible Asset Classes:
• Cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin, Ethereum)
• Equity indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, global markets)
• Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil)
• Forex majors (DXY correlation analysis)
⚙️ Suggested Settings:
• Default: YoY calculation with 0 offset for current liquidity conditions
• Bitcoin traders: YoY with 60-70 day offset for predictive analysis
• Short-term traders: MoM with 0 offset for recent policy changes
• Quarterly rebalancers: QoQ with 0 offset for medium-term trends
════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 VISUAL DISPLAY:
The indicator plots a blue line showing the selected growth metric (YoY/MoM/QoQ), with a dashed reference line at 0% to clearly identify expansion vs. contraction regimes.
A comprehensive table in the top-right corner displays:
• Current global M2 growth rate (large, prominent display)
• Individual country breakdowns with their GDP weights
• Color-coded growth rates (green for positive, red for negative)
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔄 MAINTENANCE & UPDATES:
GDP weights should be updated annually (ideally in April or October) when the IMF releases new World Economic Outlook forecasts. Simply adjust the four GDP input parameters in the indicator settings - no code editing required.
The relative GDP proportions between the Big 4 economies change very gradually (typically <1-2% per year), so even if you update weights once every 1-2 years, the impact on the indicator's accuracy is minimal.
════════════════════════════════════════════
💭 TRADING PHILOSOPHY:
This indicator embodies the principle that "liquidity drives markets." By tracking the combined M2 money supply of the world's largest economies, weighted by their economic size, you gain insight into the fundamental liquidity conditions that underpin all asset prices.
Unlike single-country M2 indicators, this GDP-weighted approach captures the true global picture, accounting for the fact that US monetary policy has 2x the impact of Japanese policy due to economic size differences.
Perfect for macro-focused traders, long-term investors, and anyone seeking to understand the "tide that lifts all boats" in financial markets.
════════════════════════════════════════════
Created for traders and investors who incorporate global liquidity trends into their decision-making process. Best used alongside other technical and fundamental analysis tools for comprehensive market assessment.
⚠️ Disclaimer: M2 money supply is a lagging macroeconomic indicator. Past correlations do not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and combine with other analysis methods.
Smart Trail Signals NO CONDITIONSSmart Trail Signals Indicator
Overview
This is a trend-following indicator that uses a dynamic trailing stop system to identify bullish and bearish trends. It adapts to market volatility using ATR (Average True Range) and provides visual signals when the trend direction changes.
Core Components
Smart Trail System:
Calculates dynamic support (trail_up) and resistance (trail_down) levels
Adjusts trail levels based on price movement and volatility
Maintains trend direction until price crosses the opposite trail level
Key Parameters:
Length (14): Period for ATR calculation
Multiplier (2.0): Distance of trail from price relative to ATR
Sensitivity (1-5): Fine-tunes how quickly the trail adapts to price changes
How It Works
Trend Detection: Monitors whether price is above the support trail (bullish) or below the resistance trail (bearish)
Trail Movement:
In uptrends: Support trail rises with price but never decreases
In downtrends: Resistance trail falls with price but never increases
Signals: Diamond shapes appear when trend flips:
Green diamond below bar = bullish trend change
Red diamond above bar = bearish trend change
Visual Aids:
Trail line changes color (lime for uptrend, red for downtrend)
Candles colored green (bullish), red (bearish), or gray (neutral)

Mythical EMAs + Dynamic VWAP BandThis indicator titled "Mythical EMAs + Dynamic VWAP Band." It overlays several volatility-adjusted Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on the chart, along with a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) line and a dynamic band around it.
Additionally, it uses background coloring (clouds) to visualize bullish or bearish trends, with intensity modulated by the price's position relative to the VWAP.
The EMAs are themed with mythical names (e.g., Hermes for the 9-period EMA), but this is just stylistic flavoring and doesn't affect functionality.
I'll break it down section by section, explaining what each part does, how it works, and its purpose in the context of technical analysis. This indicator is designed for traders to identify trends, momentum, and price fairness relative to volume-weighted averages, with volatility adjustments to make the EMAs more responsive in volatile markets.
### 1. **Volatility Calculation (ATR)**
```pine
atrLength = 14
volatility = ta.atr(atrLength)
```
- **What it does**: Calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over 14 periods (a common default). ATR measures market volatility by averaging the true range (the greatest of: high-low, |high-previous close|, |low-previous close|).
- **Purpose**: This volatility value is used later to dynamically adjust the EMAs, making them more sensitive in high-volatility conditions (e.g., during market swings) and smoother in low-volatility periods. It helps the indicator adapt to changing market environments rather than using static EMAs.
### 2. **Custom Mythical EMA Function**
```pine
mythical_ema(src, length, base_alpha, vol_factor) =>
alpha = (2 / (length + 1)) * base_alpha * (1 + vol_factor * (volatility / src))
ema = 0.0
ema := na(ema ) ? src : alpha * src + (1 - alpha) * ema
ema
```
- **What it does**: Defines a custom function to compute a modified EMA.
- It starts with the standard EMA smoothing factor formula: `2 / (length + 1)`.
- Multiplies it by a `base_alpha` (a user-defined multiplier to tweak responsiveness).
- Adjusts further for volatility: Adds a term `(1 + vol_factor * (volatility / src))`, where `vol_factor` scales the impact, and `volatility / src` normalizes ATR relative to the source price (making it scale-invariant).
- The EMA is then calculated recursively: If the previous EMA is NA (e.g., at the start), it uses the current source value; otherwise, it weights the current source by `alpha` and the prior EMA by `(1 - alpha)`.
- **Purpose**: This creates "adaptive" EMAs that react faster in volatile markets (higher alpha when volatility is high relative to price) without overreacting in calm periods. It's an enhancement over standard EMAs, which use fixed alphas and can lag in choppy conditions. The mythical theme is just naming—functionally, it's a volatility-weighted EMA.
### 3. **Calculating the EMAs**
```pine
ema9 = mythical_ema(close, 9, 1.2, 0.5) // Hermes - quick & nimble
ema20 = mythical_ema(close, 20, 1.0, 0.3) // Apollo - short-term foresight
ema50 = mythical_ema(close, 50, 0.9, 0.2) // Athena - wise strategist
ema100 = mythical_ema(close, 100, 0.8, 0.1) // Zeus - powerful oversight
ema200 = mythical_ema(close, 200, 0.7, 0.05) // Kronos - long-term patience
```
- **What it does**: Applies the custom EMA function to the close price with varying lengths (9, 20, 50, 100, 200 periods), base alphas (decreasing from 1.2 to 0.7 for longer periods to make shorter ones more responsive), and volatility factors (decreasing from 0.5 to 0.05 to reduce volatility influence on longer-term EMAs).
- **Purpose**: These form a multi-timeframe EMA ribbon:
- Shorter EMAs (e.g., 9 and 20) capture short-term momentum.
- Longer ones (e.g., 200) show long-term trends.
- Crossovers (e.g., short EMA crossing above long EMA) can signal buy/sell opportunities. The volatility adjustment makes them "mythical" by adding dynamism, potentially improving signal quality in real markets.
### 4. **VWAP Calculation**
```pine
vwap_val = ta.vwap(close) // VWAP based on close price
```
- **What it does**: Computes the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) using the built-in `ta.vwap` function, anchored to the close price. VWAP is the average price weighted by volume over the session (resets daily by default in Pine Script).
- **Purpose**: VWAP acts as a benchmark for "fair value." Prices above VWAP suggest bullishness (buyers in control), below indicate bearishness (sellers dominant). It's commonly used by institutional traders to assess entry/exit points.
### 5. **Plotting EMAs and VWAP**
```pine
plot(ema9, color=color.fuchsia, title='EMA 9 (Hermes)')
plot(ema20, color=color.red, title='EMA 20 (Apollo)')
plot(ema50, color=color.orange, title='EMA 50 (Athena)')

plot(ema200, color=color.blue, title='EMA 200 (Kronos)')
plot(vwap_val, color=color.yellow, linewidth=2, title='VWAP')
```
- **What it does**: Overlays the EMAs and VWAP on the chart with distinct colors and titles for easy identification in TradingView's legend.
- **Purpose**: Visualizes the EMA ribbon and VWAP line. Traders can watch for EMA alignments (e.g., all sloping up for uptrend) or price interactions with VWAP.
### 6. **Dynamic VWAP Band**
```pine
band_pct = 0.005
vwap_upper = vwap_val * (1 + band_pct)
vwap_lower = vwap_val * (1 - band_pct)
p1 = plot(vwap_upper, color=color.new(color.yellow, 0), title="VWAP Upper Band")
p2 = plot(vwap_lower, color=color.new(color.yellow, 0), title="VWAP Lower Band")
fill_color = close >= vwap_val ? color.new(color.green, 80) : color.new(color.red, 80)
fill(p1, p2, color=fill_color, title="Dynamic VWAP Band")
```
- **What it does**: Creates a band ±0.5% around the VWAP.
- Plots the upper/lower bands with full transparency (color opacity 0, so lines are invisible).
- Fills the area between them dynamically: Semi-transparent green (opacity 80) if close ≥ VWAP (bullish bias), red if below (bearish bias).
- **Purpose**: Highlights deviations from VWAP visually. The color change provides an at-a-glance sentiment indicator—green for "above fair value" (potential strength), red for "below" (potential weakness). The narrow band (0.5%) focuses on short-term fairness, and the fill makes it easier to spot than just the line.
### 7. **Trend Clouds with VWAP Interaction**
```pine
bullish = ema9 > ema20 and ema20 > ema50
bearish = ema9 < ema20 and ema20 < ema50
bullish_above_vwap = bullish and close > vwap_val
bullish_below_vwap = bullish and close <= vwap_val
bearish_below_vwap = bearish and close < vwap_val
bearish_above_vwap = bearish and close >= vwap_val
bgcolor(bullish_above_vwap ? color.new(color.green, 50) : na, title="Bullish Above VWAP")
bgcolor(bullish_below_vwap ? color.new(color.green, 80) : na, title="Bullish Below VWAP")
bgcolor(bearish_below_vwap ? color.new(color.red, 50) : na, title="Bearish Below VWAP")
bgcolor(bearish_above_vwap ? color.new(color.red, 80) : na, title="Bearish Above VWAP")
```
- **What it does**: Defines trend conditions based on EMA alignments:
- Bullish: Shorter EMAs stacked above longer ones (9 > 20 > 50, indicating upward momentum).
- Bearish: The opposite (downward momentum).
- Sub-conditions combine with VWAP: E.g., bullish_above_vwap is true only if bullish and price > VWAP.
- Applies background colors (bgcolor) to the entire chart pane:
- Strong bullish (above VWAP): Green with opacity 50 (less transparent, more intense).
- Weak bullish (below VWAP): Green with opacity 80 (more transparent, less intense).
- Strong bearish (below VWAP): Red with opacity 50.
- Weak bearish (above VWAP): Red with opacity 80.
- If no condition matches, no color (na).
- **Purpose**: Creates "clouds" for trend visualization, enhanced by VWAP context. This helps traders confirm trends—e.g., a strong bullish cloud (darker green) suggests a high-conviction uptrend when price is above VWAP. The varying opacity differentiates signal strength: Darker for aligned conditions (trend + VWAP agreement), lighter for misaligned (potential weakening or reversal).
### Overall Indicator Usage and Limitations
- **How to use it**: Add this to a TradingView chart (e.g., stocks, crypto, forex). Look for EMA crossovers, price bouncing off EMAs/VWAP, or cloud color changes as signals. Bullish clouds with price above VWAP might signal buys; bearish below for sells.
- **Strengths**: Combines momentum (EMAs), volume (VWAP), and volatility adaptation for a multi-layered view. Dynamic colors make it intuitive.
- **Limitations**:
- EMAs lag in ranging markets; volatility adjustment helps but doesn't eliminate whipsaws.
- VWAP resets daily (standard behavior), so it's best for intraday/session trading.
- No alerts or inputs for customization (e.g., changeable lengths)—it's hardcoded.
- Performance depends on the asset/timeframe; backtest before using.
- **License**: Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it's open-source and modifiable.
LEGEND IsoPulse Fusion Universal Volume Trend Buy Sell RadarLEGEND IsoPulse Fusion • Universal Volume Trend Buy Sell Radar
One line summary
LEGEND IsoPulse Fusion reads intent from price and volume together, learns which features matter most on your symbol, blends them into a single signed Fusion line in a stable unit range, and emits clear Buy Sell Close events with a structure gate and a liquidity safety gate so you act only when the tape is favorable.
What this script is and why it exists
Many traders keep separate windows for trend, volume, volatility, and regime filters. The result can feel fragmented. This script merges two complementary engines into one consistent view that is easy to read and simple to act on.
LEGEND Tensor estimates directional quality from five causally computed features that are normalized for stationarity. The features are Flow, Tail Pressure with Volume Mix, Path Curvature, Streak Persistence, and Entropy Order.
IsoPulse transforms raw volume into two decaying reservoirs for buy effort and sell effort using body location and wick geometry, then measures price travel per unit volume for efficiency, and detects volume bursts with a recency memory.
Both engines are mapped into the same unit range and fused by a regime aware mixer. When the tape is orderly the mixer leans toward trend features. When the tape is messy but a true push appears in volume efficiency with bursts the mixer allows IsoPulse to speak louder. The outcome is a single Fusion line that lives in a familiar range with calm behavior in quiet periods and expressive pushes when energy concentrates.
What makes it original and useful
Two reservoir volume split . The script assigns a portion of the bar volume to up effort and down effort using body location and wick geometry together. Effort decays through time using a forgetting factor so memory is present without becoming sticky.
Efficiency of move . Price travel per unit volume is often more informative than raw volume or raw range. The script normalizes both sides and centers the efficiency so it becomes signed fuel when multiplied by flow skew.
Burst detection with recency memory . Percent rank of volume highlights bursts. An exponential memory of how recently bursts clustered converts isolated blips into useful context.
Causal adaptive weighting . The LEGEND features do not receive static weights. The script learns, causally, which features have correlated with future returns on your symbol over a rolling window. Only positive contributions are allowed and weights are normalized for interpretability.
Regime aware fusion . Entropy based order and persistence create a mixer that blends IsoPulse with LEGEND. You see a single line rather than two competing panels, which reduces decision conflict.
How to read the screen in seconds
Fusion area . The pane fills above and below zero with a soft gradient. Deeper fill means stronger conviction. The white Fusion line sits on top for precise crossings.
Entry guides and exit guides . Two entry guides draw symmetrically at the active fused entry level. Two exit guides sit inside at a fraction of the entry. Think of them as an adaptive envelope.
Letters . B prints once when the script flips from flat to long. S prints once when the script flips from flat to short. C prints when a held position ends on the appropriate side. T prints when the structure gate first opens. A prints when the liquidity safety flag first appears.
Price bar paint . Bars tint green while long and red while short on the chart to mirror your virtual position.
HUD . A compact dashboard in the corner shows Fusion, IsoPulse, LEGEND, active entry and exit levels, regime status, current virtual position, and the vacuum z value with its avoid threshold.
What signals actually mean
Buy . A Buy prints when the Fusion line crosses above the active entry level while gates are open and the previous state was flat.
Sell . A Sell prints when the Fusion line crosses below the negative entry level while gates are open and the previous state was flat.
Close . A Close prints when Fusion cools back inside the exit envelope or when an opposite cross would occur or when a gate forces a stop, and the previous state was a hold.
Gates . The Trend gate requires sufficient entropy order or significant persistence. The Avoid gate uses a liquidity vacuum z score. Gates exist to protect you from weak tape and poor liquidity.
Inputs and practical tuning
Every input has a tooltip in the script. This section provides a concise reference that you can keep in mind while you work.
Setup
Core window . Controls statistics across features. Scalping often prefers the thirties or low fifties. Intraday often prefers the fifties to eighties. Swing often prefers the eighties to low hundreds. Smaller responds faster with more noise. Larger is calmer.
Smoothing . Short EMA on noisy features. A small value catches micro shifts. A larger value reduces whipsaw.
Fusion and thresholds
Weight lookback . Sample size for weight learning. Use at least five times the horizon. Larger is slower and more confident. Smaller is nimble and more reactive.
Weight horizon . How far ahead return is measured to assess feature value. Smaller favors quick reversion impulses. Larger favors continuation.
Adaptive thresholds . Entry and exit levels from rolling percentiles of the absolute LEGEND score. This self scales across assets and timeframes.
Entry percentile . Eighty selects the top quintile of pushes. Lower to seventy five for more signals. Raise for cleanliness.
Exit percentile . Mid fifties keeps trades honest without overstaying. Sixty holds longer with wider give back.
Order threshold . Minimum structure to trade. Zero point fifteen is a reasonable start. Lower to trade more. Raise to filter chop.
Avoid if Vac z . Liquidity safety level. One point two five is a good default on liquid markets. Thin markets may prefer a slightly higher setting to avoid permanent avoid mode.
IsoPulse
Iso forgetting per bar . Memory for the two reservoirs. Values near zero point nine eight to zero point nine nine five work across many symbols.
Wick weight in effort split . Balance between body location and wick geometry. Values near zero point three to zero point six capture useful behavior.
Efficiency window . Travel per volume window. Lower for snappy symbols. Higher for stability.
Burst percent rank window . Window for percent rank of volume. Around one hundred to three hundred covers most use cases.
Burst recency half life . How long burst clusters matter. Lower for quick fades. Higher for cluster memory.
IsoPulse gain . Pre compression gain before the atan mapping. Tune until the Fusion line lives inside a calm band most of the time with expressive spikes on true pushes.
Continuation and Reversal guides . Visual rails for IsoPulse that help you sense continuation or exhaustion zones. They do not force events.
Entry sensitivity and exit fraction
Entry sensitivity . Loose multiplies the fused entry level by a smaller factor which prints more trades. Strict multiplies by a larger factor which selects fewer and cleaner trades. Balanced is neutral.
Exit fraction . Exit level relative to the entry level in fused unit space. Values around one half to two thirds fit most symbols.
Visuals and UX
Columns and line . Use both to see context and precise crossings. If you present a very clean chart you can turn columns off and keep the line.
HUD . Keep it on while you learn the script. It teaches you how the gates and thresholds respond to your market.
Letters . B S C T A are informative and compact. For screenshots you can toggle them off.
Debug triggers . Show raw crosses even when gates block entries. This is useful when you tune the gates. Turn them off for normal use.

How to connect signals to your risk plan
This is an indicator. You remain in control of orders and risk.
Stops . A simple choice is an ATR multiple measured on your chart timeframe. Intraday often prefers one point two five to one point five ATR. Swing often prefers one point five to two ATR. Adjust to symbol behavior and personal risk tolerance.
Exits . The script already prints a Close when Fusion cools inside the exit envelope. If you prefer targets you can mirror the entry envelope distance and convert that to points or percent in your own plan.
Position size . Fixed fractional or fixed risk per trade remains a sound baseline. One percent or less per trade is a common starting point for testing.
Sessions and news . Even with self scaling, some traders prefer to skip the first minutes after an open or scheduled news. Gate with your own session logic if needed.
Limitations and honest notes
No look ahead . The script is causal. The adaptive learner uses a shifted correlation, crosses are evaluated without peeking into the future, and no lookahead security calls are used. If you enable intrabar calculations a letter may appear then disappear before the close if the condition fails. This is normal for any cross based logic in real time.
No performance promises . Markets change. This is a decision aid, not a prediction machine. It will not win every sequence and it cannot guarantee statistical outcomes.
No dependence on other indicators . The chart should remain clean. You can add personal tools in private use but publications should keep the example chart readable.
Standard candles only for public signals . Non standard chart types can change event timing and produce unrealistic sequences. Use regular candles for demonstrations and publications.
Internal logic walkthrough
LEGEND feature block
Flow . Current return normalized by ATR then smoothed by a short EMA. This gives directional intent scaled to recent volatility.
Tail pressure with volume mix . The relative sizes of upper and lower wicks inside the high to low range produce a tail asymmetry. A volume based mix can emphasize wick information when volume is meaningful.
Path curvature . Second difference of close normalized by ATR and smoothed. This captures changes in impulse shape that can precede pushes or fades.
Streak persistence . Up and down close streaks are counted and netted. The result is normalized for the window length to keep behavior stable across symbols.
Entropy order . Shannon entropy of the probability of an up close. Lower entropy means more order. The value is oriented by Flow to preserve sign.
Causal weights . Each feature becomes a z score. A shifted correlation against future returns over the horizon produces a positive weight per feature. Weights are normalized so they sum to one for clarity. The result is angle mapped into a compact unit.
IsoPulse block
Effort split . The script estimates up effort and down effort per bar using both body location and wick geometry. Effort is integrated through time into two reservoirs using a forgetting factor.
Skew . The reservoir difference over the sum yields a stable skew in a known range. A short EMA smooths it.
Efficiency . Move size divided by average volume produces travel per unit volume. Normalization and centering around zero produce a symmetric measure.
Bursts and recency . Percent rank of volume highlights bursts. An exponential function of bars since last burst adds the notion of cluster memory.
IsoPulse unit . Skew multiplied by centered efficiency then scaled by the burst factor produces the raw IsoPulse that is angle mapped into the unit range.
Fusion and events
Regime factor . Entropy order and streak persistence form a mixer. Low structure favors IsoPulse. Higher structure favors LEGEND. The blend is convex so it remains interpretable.
Blended guides . Entry and exit guides are blended in the same way as the line so they stay consistent when regimes change. The envelope does not jump unexpectedly.
Virtual position . The script maintains state. Buy and Sell require a cross while flat and gates open. Close requires an exit or force condition while holding. Letters print once at the state change.
Disclosures
This script and description are educational. They do not constitute investment advice. Markets involve risk. You are responsible for your own decisions and for compliance with local rules. The logic is causal and does not look ahead. Signals on non standard chart types can be misleading and are not recommended for publication. When you test a strategy wrapper, use realistic commission and slippage, moderate risk per trade, and enough trades to form a meaningful sample, then document those assumptions if you share results.
Closing thoughts
Clarity builds confidence. The Fusion line gives a single view of intent. The letters communicate action without clutter. The HUD confirms context at a glance. The gates protect you from weak tape and poor liquidity. Tune it to your instrument, observe it across regimes, and use it as a consistent lens rather than a prediction oracle. The goal is not to trade every wiggle. The goal is to pick your spots with a calm process and to stand aside when the tape is not inviting.
Free Stock ScreenerMissing great trade opportunities is annoying, and unless you have 12 screens or only trade one market, you are missing a lot of trades. To fix that, we created this free stock screener so you get notified instantly of potential great trading conditions in real time, right on your chart.
You get notified of trading benchmarks being met by the value being displayed on the scanner as well as a color change so that it grabs your attention and makes you aware that you should take a look at the other market and look for a potential trade. It also has built in alerts so you can have an alert notification go off when any of your trading conditions are met instead of needing to watch the scanner for color changes.
The screener will change the ticker symbol background color to red green when price is above or below the previous daily range and above or below both VWAPs. This signals that the ticker is trending, which typically means it is a great time to trade that market and follow the trend.
This free stock screener allows you to scan up to 10 different markets at the same time for various different conditions so you always know what is going on with your favorite trading symbols. If you want to scan more tickers, just add the indicator to your chart again and change the table position to the other side of the screen and update the tickers on the 2nd screener, allowing you to have 20 tickers at a time.
The scanner can be fully customized by changing the markets that it screens and turning on or off as many of them as you would like. You can also turn on or off any of the different data sets so that you only get information about trading conditions that matter to you.
The screener can provide data on any type of market, such as stocks, crypto, futures, forex and more. Each ticker can be adjusted to whatever market you would like it to scan for data in the settings panel, the only limitation is that it will not provide data for the VWAP and volume trend score if the ticker you are screening does not provide volume data.
Screener Features
The scanner will provide the following types of data for each ticker that is turned on:
Volume - Provides a volume score compared to the average volume and notifies you of higher than normal volume and volume spikes on individual bars by changing colors.
Volatility - Provides a volatility score compared to the average volatility and notifies you of higher than normal volatility by changing colors.
Oscillator - Choose between the RSI or CCI. The value of that oscillator will be displayed and will notify you when values are in extreme ranges such as overbought or oversold conditions according to the threshold values you enter in the settings panel. When those thresholds have been breached, you will be notified by it changing color.
Big Candles - Compares the current candle to average previous candle sizes, and changes color to notify you of big candles including a big top wick, big bottom wick, big candle body and big candle high to low range.
Daily Level Touches & Trends - Calculates and displays various daily candle and intraday open price levels that act as support and resistance. Notifies you when price is touching any of the daily levels that are turned on. The levels you can have on are as follows: previous day high, previous day low or previous day open. It also will notify you when price is touching the current day’s open, NY 930am open, Asia 8pm open, London 2am open and NY midnight 12am open. It will also say “Above” if price is above the previous day’s high or it will say “Below” if price is below the previous day’s low. The color of the cell will also change when a level touch is happening or price is above the previous day high or below the previous day low.
VWAP - Choose from 2 different VWAP lengths, default settings are daily and weekly VWAPs. You will get notified if price touches either of the VWAPs and they will also say “Above” or “Below” if price is currently above or below each VWAP.
How To Use The Screener To Help You Trade
The main purpose of the screener is to scan other markets and notify you of potential good trading opportunities such as price bouncing off of the daily levels or VWAPs. It can also be used to know when price is trending according to the VWAPs and daily levels. Lastly, you can use it to know how the volume and volatility trends are currently which gives you more confidence in taking a trade with this data when volume and volatility are present.
Volume Score
When volume is high, this represents a good time to trade because there are many market participants and price is likely to be volatile while there is high volume which can present a lot of good trade setups for you to take.
The volume score shown on the screener measures the current volume trend compared to previous volume trends and calculates that into a score based on 100 being the same as the previous volume trend. So any value above 100 means it is high volume and any value less than 100 means it is lower volume than normal.
In the settings panel, you can adjust the volume threshold that needs to be met for a volume notification to show up. The default setting is at 120, so you will get notified when the current volume trend score is 120 or higher or you can adjust that threshold value to whatever value you prefer.
It also will notify you when there is a volume spike on the current bar. This is determined by calculating an average of the recent volume totals and then checking to see if the current bar is greater than or equal to that average multiplied by 3. So if a single bar has volume that is greater than 3 times what the average volume is, then you will get a notification that says “Spike” to make you aware of that volume spike.
The volume trend threshold, volume spike multiplier and lookback length for the average volume used in volume spike calculations can all be adjusted in the settings panel to fit your desired preferences.
Volatility Score
High volatility can mean it is a great time to trade because the market is moving quickly and providing large enough movements that you can get in and out in a short amount of time, while still accruing decent sized trade PnL.
The volatility score will calculate the current volatility for each market compared to previous conditions and then divide the current volatility by the average volatility to give you a volatility score. Anything over 100 means the market is decently volatile and you should look at that market to find potential trade setups to execute on. Anything below 100 means the market is not very volatile and it is usually best to just wait until volatility returns before you start trading again.
The screener will notify you when the volatility score is above the threshold you set. The default value is set to 90, but can be adjusted to your preference. Pay attention to any market that shows an alert and take a look at that chart because the high volatility may present a good trade setup for you in the near future.
Oscillator Score
The oscillator data can be switched between Relative Strength Index(RSI) and Commodity Channel Index(CCI).
The RSI provides a value between 0 and 100 that indicates the momentum and strength of the recent price action. Many traders use the extremes of the 0-100 range to signal overbought or oversold conditions and use that as a sign to look for price to reverse in the near future. The typical values used for this and the default settings to provide notifications are: 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold. The scanner will notify you when the RSI value is considered overbought or oversold so you know to take a look at the chart and analyze if it is ready for a trade to be taken.
The CCI provides a value that can be used to determine the trend strength of the underlying asset when the oscillator moves above 100 or below -100. These extreme values are outside of the normal accumulation range and signify that price is moving strongly in that direction so it may be a good time to take a trade in the direction of the trend. The scanner will show you the value of the CCI for each market and notify you if that value is above 100 or below -100.
Both RSI and CCI settings can be adjusted in the settings panel to your desired settings so you have the exact oscillator settings you prefer to use as well as the exact values that you want to use for being notified.
Big Candles
Big candles can mean that many traders are buying or selling at the same time and many times indicate a good signal to trade in that same direction. That is why we included this calculation in the screener, so you are always aware when a large candle prints.
It calculates the average size of the recent candles and then uses that average as the benchmark to determine if the current candle is considered big and worthy of notifying you to take a look at that chart.
You can adjust the multiplier used for the big candle threshold to whatever you desire, but the default setting is 3 which means the candle will be considered big and notify you if it is 3 times as large as an average candle.
The big candles data will track the following candle values and notify you with these labels:
High to Low candle size = HL
Candle Body from open to close candle size = OC
Top Wick size = TW
Bottom Wick size = BW
Daily Level Touches & Trend
Daily level touches are excellent levels to watch for price to bounce because they often act as support and resistance levels for intraday trading. The scanner will track each market and notify you when the current candle is touching any of the daily levels that you have turned on in the settings panel.
The main levels that are turned on by default and are useful for all markets and how they will be labeled on the scanner are as follows:
Previous Day High = High
Previous Day Low = Low
Previous Day Open = < Open
Previous Day Close = Close
Current Day Open = Open
We also included some extra levels that are useful for futures traders. They are as follows:
NY 930am Open = 930am
NY 12am Midnight Open = 12am
Asia Open at 8pm NY time = Asia
London Open at 2am NY Time = London
Watch how price reacts to these levels and then trade the bounces off of these levels if the price action confirms that it is going to respect that level.
When price is currently above the previous day high, the scanner will say “Above” and show a green color, indicating a bullish trend and that price is above the previous daily candle’s high.
When price is currently below the previous day low, the scanner will say “Below” and show a red color, indicating a bearish trend and that price is below the previous daily candle’s low.
Pay attention to when price is trending above or below the previous daily candle as those trends can provide excellent trend trading opportunities.
The daily levels that you have turned on in the settings will also show as lines on the chart and include a label next to them, identifying each level so you know what each line represents. You can turn on or off all of the lines shown on the chart in the main settings or turn them off one by one in the style panel of the settings. Labels can also be turned on or off for all of the lines in the main settings panel. You can adjust the label positioning in the Label Offset section of the settings panel.
VWAP Touches & Trend
VWAP stands for volume weighted average price and is a very popular tool that traders use to determine trend direction based on volume as well as an excellent level to trade price bounces off of.
The typical VWAP time period used is Daily, which means the volume weighted average price will reset at the beginning of a new day. We set the first VWAP to be the daily VWAP by default and the second one to be the weekly VWAP. You can adjust both of the time periods to be any of the provided time lengths that you choose.
The screener will show “Above” with a green background color when price is above the VWAP, indicating a bullish trend. It will show “Below” with a red background color when price is below the VWAP, indicating a bearish trend. When both VWAPs are showing Above or Below, you can expect price to trend in that direction, so look for pullbacks you can trade in the direction of the trend. If the VWAPs are showing different directions, then you should expect to bounce back and forth between the VWAPs, but be careful and watch out for price to break beyond either one and start a trend.
When the current candle is touching the VWAP, the scanner will change colors and say VWAP to notify you that price is touching the VWAP and you should look at that chart and analyze the market for a potential bounce off of the VWAP to trade.
Trending Market Signals
Strong trends are excellent markets to trade and can many times provide excellent trading opportunities that don’t require expert price action reading skills to be able to take winning trades from. That is why we included a signal to notify you of a strong trending market.
The strong trending market will show up as a green or red background color for the ticker name. If the color of the ticker name is green, it is notifying you that the price is above the previous daily high, above VWAP 1 and above VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bullish trend trades. If the color of the ticker name is red, it is notifying you that the price is below the previous daily low, below VWAP 1 and below VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bearish trend trades.
Changing The Tickers It Scans
To change the tickers that the indicator scans, scroll near the bottom of the settings panel and select the ticker symbol you want to update and then search for the exact symbol you want to use. If you want to scan less tickers, then just turn some of the tickers off that you don’t need.
Scanning More Than 10 Tickers
If you want to scan more than 10 tickers, you can add the scanner to your chart again and then just change the table position to the other side of the screen. This will allow you to scan 10 more tickers that will show up separately. Then if you want even more, just add the indicator to your chart again and update the table position until you have as many markets as you want. The table position setting can be found at the bottom of the main settings panel.
Alerts
The screener has alerts that can be used to notify you when any of the data set thresholds have been met or if price is touching one of the levels. You can set alerts for the following events:
Bullish Trend Alert - Price is above the previous daily high and above both VWAPs.
Bearish Trend Alert - Price is below the previous daily low and below both VWAPs.
High Volume Alert - Volume is higher than the threshold or a volume spike is detected.
High Volatility Alert - Volatility is higher than the threshold.
Oscillator Is Extended Alert - Oscillator value has exceeded the upper or lower threshold.
Big Candle Alert - A big candle has been detected.
Daily Level Touch Alert - One of the daily levels that is turned on is being touched.
VWAP Touch Alert - One of the 2 VWAPs are being touched.
An alert will trigger when any one of tickers on your scanner meets the alert conditions, so when you see the alert, you will need to go to your chart and look at the scanner to see which ticker it was and then navigate to that chart to look for potential trade setups.
The alerts will use the exact same settings you have configured in the settings panel to send you alert notifications. With normal settings, this could give you a lot of alerts, so if you only want alerts to fire when abnormal conditions are being met, try setting up a second screener on your chart that has very high threshold values and only has the most important level touches on. Then turn the setting "Do Not Show The Screener On The Chart" to off so the calculations will still run and fire alerts, but won't clog up your charts. This way you can only get alert notifications when major events happen but still have your normal screener settings available on your chart.
Markets This Can Be Used On
This screener uses the price action and volume data so you can use it to scan any type of market you would like as long as the ticker you are scanning has price and volume data feeds. If a market does not have volume data, then it will just show NaN in the volume row and the VWAP rows will not show anything.
T3 [DCAUT]█ T3
📊 INDICATOR OVERVIEW
The T3 Moving Average is a smoothing indicator developed by Tim Tillson and published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine (January 1998). The algorithm applies Generalized DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) recursively three times, creating a six-pole filtering effect that aims to balance noise reduction with responsiveness while minimizing lag relative to price changes.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Generalized DEMA (GD) Function:
The core building block is the Generalized DEMA function, which combines two exponential moving averages with weights controlled by the volume factor:
GD(input, v) = EMA(input) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(input)) × v
Where v is the volume factor parameter (default 0.7). This weighted combination reduces lag while maintaining smoothness by extrapolating beyond the first EMA using the double-smoothed EMA as a reference.
T3 Calculation Process:
T3 applies the GD function three times recursively:
T3 = GD(GD(GD(Price, v), v), v)
This triple nesting creates a six-pole smoothing effect (each GD applies two EMA operations, resulting in 2 × 3 = 6 total EMA calculations). The cascading refinement progressively filters noise while preserving trend information.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
First GD application: GD1 = EMA(Price) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(Price)) × v - Creates initial smoothed series with lag reduction
Second GD application: GD2 = EMA(GD1) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(GD1)) × v - Further refines the smoothing while maintaining responsiveness
Third GD application: T3 = EMA(GD2) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(GD2)) × v - Final refinement produces the T3 output
Volume Factor Impact:
The volume factor (v) is the key parameter controlling the balance between smoothness and responsiveness. Tim Tillson recommended v = 0.7 as the optimal default value.
Lower volume factors (v closer to 0.0): Increase the extrapolation effect, making T3 more responsive to price changes but potentially more sensitive to noise.
Higher volume factors (v closer to 1.0): Reduce the extrapolation effect, producing smoother output with less sensitivity to short-term fluctuations but slightly more lag.
The recursive application of the volume factor through three GD stages creates a nonlinear filtering effect that achieves superior lag reduction compared to traditional moving averages of equivalent smoothness.
📊 SIGNAL INTERPRETATION
Trend Direction Signals:
Green Line (T3 Rising): Smoothed trend line is rising, may indicate uptrend, consider bullish opportunities when confirmed by other factors
Red Line (T3 Falling): Smoothed trend line is falling, may indicate downtrend, consider bearish opportunities when confirmed by other factors
Gray Line (T3 Flat): Smoothed trend line is flat, indicates unclear trend or consolidation phase
Price Crossover Signals:
Price Crosses Above T3: Price breaks above smoothed trend line, may be bullish signal, requires confirmation from other indicators
Price Crosses Below T3: Price breaks below smoothed trend line, may be bearish signal, requires confirmation from other indicators
Price Position Relative to T3: Price sustained above T3 may indicate uptrend, sustained below may indicate downtrend
Supporting Analysis Signals:
T3 Slope Angle: Steeper slopes indicate stronger trend momentum, flatter slopes suggest weakening trends
Price Deviation: Significant price separation from T3 may indicate overextension, watch for pullback or reversal
Dynamic Support/Resistance: T3 line can serve as dynamic support (in uptrends) or resistance (in downtrends) reference
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Common Usage Patterns:
The T3 Moving Average can be incorporated into trading analysis in various ways. These represent common approaches used by market participants, though effectiveness varies by market conditions and requires individual testing:
Trend Filtering:
T3 can be used as a trend filter by observing the relationship between price and the T3 line. The color-coded slope (green for rising, red for falling, gray for sideways) provides visual feedback about the current trend direction of the smoothed series.
Price Crossover Analysis:
Some traders monitor crossovers between price and the T3 line as potential indication points. When price crosses the T3 line, it may suggest a change in the relationship between current price action and the smoothed trend.
Multi-Timeframe Observation:
T3 can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously. Observing alignment or divergence between different timeframe T3 indicators may provide context about trend consistency across time scales.
Dynamic Reference Level:
The T3 line can serve as a dynamic reference level for price action analysis. Price distance from T3, price reactions when approaching T3, and the behavior of price relative to the T3 line can all be incorporated into market analysis frameworks.
Application Considerations:
Any trading application should be thoroughly tested on historical data before implementation
T3 performance characteristics vary across different market conditions and asset types
The indicator provides smoothed trend information but does not predict future price movements
Combining T3 with other analytical tools and market context improves analysis quality
Risk management practices remain essential regardless of the analytical approach used
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Source Selection:
Close Price (Default): Standard choice for end-of-period trend analysis, reduces intrabar noise
HL2 (High+Low)/2: Provides balanced view of price action, considers full bar range
HLC3 or OHLC4: Incorporates more price information, may provide smoother results
Selection Impact: Different sources affect signal timing and smoothness characteristics
Length Configuration:
Shorter periods: More responsive, faster reaction, frequent signals, but higher false signal risk in choppy markets
Longer periods: Smoother output, fewer signals, better for long-term trends, but slower response
Default 14 periods is a common baseline, but optimal length varies by asset, timeframe, and market conditions
Parameter selection should be determined through backtesting rather than general recommendations
Volume Factor Configuration:
Lower values (closer to 0.0): Increase responsiveness but also noise sensitivity
Higher values (closer to 1.0): Increase smoothness but slightly more lag
Default 0.7 (Tim Tillson's recommendation) provides good balance for most applications
Optimal value depends on signal frequency versus reliability preference, test for specific use case
Parameter Optimization Approach:
There are no universal "best" parameter values - optimal settings depend on the specific asset, timeframe, market regime, and trading strategy
Start with default values (Length: 14, Volume Factor: 0.7) and adjust based on observed performance in your target market
Conduct systematic backtesting across different market conditions to evaluate parameter sensitivity
Consider that parameters optimized for historical data may not perform identically in future market conditions
Monitor performance and be prepared to adjust parameters as market characteristics evolve
📈 DESIGN FEATURES & MARKET ADAPTATION
Algorithm Design Features:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Equal weighting across lookback period
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Exponentially decreasing weights on historical prices
T3 Moving Average: Recursive Generalized DEMA with adjustable volume factor
Market Condition Adaptation:
Trending markets: Smoothed indicators generally align more closely with sustained directional movement
Ranging markets: All moving averages may generate more crossover signals during non-trending periods
Volatile conditions: Higher smoothing parameters reduce short-term sensitivity but increase lag
Indicator behavior relative to market conditions should be evaluated for specific applications
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. The T3 Moving Average has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Like all trend-following indicators, its performance varies with market conditions, and past signal characteristics do not guarantee future results.
Key Points:
T3 is a lagging indicator that responds to price changes rather than predicting future movements
Signals should be confirmed with other technical tools and market context
Parameters should be optimized for specific market and timeframe
Risk management and position sizing are essential
Market regime changes can affect indicator effectiveness
Test strategies thoroughly on historical data before live implementation
Consider broader market context and fundamental factors
Volume Percentile Supertrend [BackQuant]Volume Percentile Supertrend
A volatility and participation aware Supertrend that automatically widens or tightens its bands based on where current volume sits inside its recent distribution. The goal is simple: fewer whipsaws when activity surges, faster reaction when the tape is quiet.
What it does
Calculates a standard Supertrend framework from an ATR on a volume weighted price source.
Measures current volume against its recent percentile and converts that context into a dynamic ATR multiplier.
Widens bands when volume is unusually high to reduce chop. Tightens bands when volume is unusually low to catch turns earlier.
Paints candles, draws the active Supertrend line and optional bands, and prints clear Long and Short signal markers.
Why volume percentile
Fixed ATR multipliers assume all bars are equal. They are not. When participation spikes, price swings expand and a static band gets sliced.
Percentiles place the current bar inside a recent distribution. If volume is in the top slice, the Supertrend allows more room. If volume is in the bottom slice, it expects smaller noise and tightens.
This keeps the same playbook usable across busy sessions and sleepy ones without constant manual retuning.
How it works
Volume distribution - A rolling window computes the Pth percentile of volume. Above that is flagged as high volume. A lower reference percentile marks quiet bars.
Dynamic multiplier - Start from a Base Multiplier. If bar is high volume, scale it up by a function of volume-to-average and a Sensitivity knob. If bar is low volume, scale it down. Smooth the result with an EMA to avoid jitter.
VWMA source - The price input for bands is a short volume weighted moving average of close. Heavy prints matter more.
ATR envelope - Compute ATR on your length. UpperBasic = VWMA + Multiplier x ATR. LowerBasic = VWMA - Multiplier x ATR.
Trailing logic - The final lines trail price so they only move in a direction that preserves Supertrend behavior. This prevents sudden flips from transient pokes.
Direction and signals - Direction flips when price crosses through the relevant trailing line. SupertrendLong and SupertrendShort mark those flips. The plotted Supertrend is the active trailing side.
Inputs and what they change
Volume Lookback - Window for percentile and average. Larger window = stabler percentile, smaller = snappier.
Volume Percentile Level - Threshold that defines high volume. Example 70 means top 30 percent of recent bars are treated as high activity.
Volume Sensitivity - Gain from volume ratio to the dynamic multiplier. Higher = bands expand more when volume spikes.
VWMA Source Length - Smoothing of the volume weighted price source for the bands.
ATR Length - Standard ATR window. Larger = slower, smaller = quicker.
Base Multiplier - Core band width before volume adjustment. Think of this as your neutral volatility setting.
Multiplier Smoothing - EMA on the dynamic multiplier. Reduces back and forth changes when volume oscillates around the threshold.
Show Supertrend on chart - Toggles the active line.
Show Upper Lower Bands - Draws both sides even when inactive. Good for context.
Paint candles according to Trend - Colors bars by trend direction.
Show Long and Short Signals - Prints 𝕃 and 𝕊 markers at flips.
Colors - Choose your long and short palette.
Reading the plot
Supertrend line - Thick line that hugs price from above in downtrends and from below in uptrends. Its distance breathes with volume.
Bands - Optional upper and lower rails. Useful to see the inactive side and judge how wide the envelope is right now.
Signals - 𝕃 prints when the trend flips long. 𝕊 prints when the trend flips short.
Candle colors - Quick bias read at a glance when painting is enabled.
Typical workflows
Trend following - Use 𝕃 flips to initiate longs and ride while bars remain colored long and price respects the lower trailing line. Mirror for shorts with 𝕊 and the upper trailing line. During high volume phases the line will give more room, which helps stay in the move.
Pullback adds - In an established trend, shallow tags toward the active line after a high volume expansion can be add points. The dynamic envelope adjusts to the session so your add distance is not fixed to a stale volatility regime.
Mean reversion filter - In quiet tape the multiplier contracts and flips come earlier. If you prefer fading, watch for quick toggles around the bands when volume percentile remains low. In high volume, avoid fading into the widened line unless you have other strong reasons.
Notes on behavior
High volume bar: the percentile gate opens, volRatio > 1 powers up the multiplier through the Sensitivity lever, bands widen, fewer false flips.
Low volume bar: multiplier contracts, bands tighten, flips can happen earlier which is useful when you want to catch regime changes in quiet conditions.
Smoothing matters: both the price source (VWMA) and the multiplier are smoothed to keep structure readable while still adapting.
Quick checklist
If you see frequent chop and today feels busy: check that volume is above your percentile. Wider bands are expected. Consider letting the trend prove itself against the expanded line before acting.
If everything feels slow and you want earlier entries: percentile likely marks low volume, so bands tighten and 𝕃 or 𝕊 can appear sooner.
If you want more or fewer flips overall: adjust Base Multiplier first. If you want more reaction specifically tied to volume surges: raise Volume Sensitivity. If the envelope breathes too fast: raise Multiplier Smoothing.
What the signals mean
SupertrendLong - Direction changed from non-long to long. 𝕃 marker prints. The active line switches to support below price.
SupertrendShort - Direction changed from non-short to short. 𝕊 marker prints. The active line switches to resistance above price.
Trend color - Bars painted long or short help validate context for entries and management.
Summary
Volume Percentile Supertrend adapts the classic Supertrend to the day you are trading. Volume percentile sets the mood, sensitivity translates it into dynamic band width, and smoothing keeps it clean. The result is a single plot that aims to stay conservative when the tape is loud and act decisively when it is quiet, without you having to constantly retune settings.

Argentum Flag [AGP] Ver.2.5Central Purpose and Concept
The Argentum Flag script is a multifunctional tool that integrates and visualizes multiple key indicators to provide a detailed and unified perspective of the market. The core concept is to analyze price from different angles—volatility, volume, and momentum—to identify confluences and patterns that may be difficult to see with separate indicators. This "mashup" is not a simple fusion of indicators, but a strategic combination of tools that complement each other to offer a comprehensive view of asset behavior.
Components and Their Functionality
This script combines and visualizes the following elements:
EMA Percentage Bands (EMA Bands):
Uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a baseline.
Calculates and draws several volatility bands that deviate from the central EMA by fixed percentages (0.47%, 0.94%, 2.36%). These bands are inspired by Fibonacci ratios and the cyclical nature of the market.
The bands are colored with a dynamic gradient that reflects the current state of volatility.
Utility: These bands act as dynamic support and resistance areas. The price entering or exiting these zones can indicate a change in volatility or a possible exhaustion of the movement.
Volatility Signals (Vortex & Prime Signals):
The script generates visual signals when the price stays outside the volatility bands for a specific number of bars.
Vortex Signals (diamond ⍲): Appear when the price crosses and stays outside the Prime bands, suggesting a high volatility or a possible continuation of the trend.
Exit/Entry Signals (circle ⌾): Are activated when the price stays outside the Vortex bands, indicating an extreme extension of volatility. These can be interpreted as potential reversal or profit-taking zones.
Utility: They help traders quickly identify moments of high and low volatility and potential turning points in price action.
Volume Analysis (Volume Bar Colors):
The script changes the color of the bars based on the relationship between the current volume and the average volume over a 50-bar period.
Utility: This feature allows the trader to immediately visualize the strength behind a price movement. For example, a bullish candle with "extreme" volume suggests strong buying interest, while a bearish candle with "low" volume could indicate a weak correction.
Summary Tables (Dashboard):
EMA-Fibo Table: Displays the values of 12 EMAs based on the Fibonacci sequence (5, 8, 13, 21...) in an easy-to-access table. The background color of each value indicates if the current price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) that EMA.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Table: Displays the Relative Strength Index (RSI) values across multiple timeframes (from 1 minute to monthly). The text color changes to highlight if the RSI is in overbought (orange) or oversold (white) areas, according to the established levels.
Utility: These tables condense a large amount of data into a simple format, allowing traders to perform a quick, multi-timeframe market analysis without constantly switching charts.
How to Use the Script
This script is a contextual analysis tool that works best when its different components are combined. It is not a "buy and sell signal" system on its own, but a tool for informed decision-making.
Trend Identification: Use the EMA table to see the general trend direction across different timeframes. A price above most of the EMAs in the table suggests a bullish bias.
Volatility Reading: Observe the EMA bands. If the price stays within the bands, volatility is low. A strong move that breaks out of the bands, accompanied by an "extreme" volume color (blue), suggests strong momentum that could continue.
Momentum Analysis: Use the RSI table to confirm movements. An overbought 15m RSI could support a reversal signal from the Vortex bands, while a 1D RSI in a neutral zone may indicate that the main trend has not changed.
Signal Confirmation: Visual signals (diamond and circle) should not be used in isolation. They must be confirmed by volume analysis and dashboard readings. For example, an "Exit Signal" (circle) with low volume may be less reliable than one with high volume and a clear reversal candle.
