[SM-021-v1.1] Gaussian Channel Strategy - Long & ShortThis is a trend-following breakout strategy that combines a sophisticated Moving Average (the Gaussian Channel) with a momentum oscillator (Stochastic RSI).
It aims to catch strong trend moves when the price breaks outside of the volatility bands, using the Stochastic RSI to confirm sufficient momentum exists.
Here is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy works:
1. Primary Indicator: The Gaussian Channel
The core of this strategy is a custom indicator originally developed by DonovanWall. It is designed to reduce the "lag" (delay) typically found in standard moving averages while remaining very smooth.
The Filter (Middle Line): It calculates a "Pole" based Gaussian filter. If the line is sloping up, it paints green (bullish); if sloping down, it paints red (bearish).
The Bands (Volatility): It calculates a True Range (volatility) multiplier to create an Upper Band (hband) and a Lower Band (lband).
Lag Reduction: The script includes logic to artificially reduce lag or increase response speed (modeLag and modeFast inputs).
2. Secondary Indicator: Stochastic RSI
The strategy uses standard Stochastic RSI settings (14, 100, 3, 3 inputs) to measure momentum.
K Line: The primary line used for decision-making in this script.
3. Strategy Logic
Long Trade Setup (Buying)
The strategy enters a Long position when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Trend is Bullish: The Gaussian Filter is sloping upwards (Green).
Breakout: The Closing Price is above the Gaussian Upper Band (hband).
Momentum Validation: The Stoch RSI k line is at an extreme reading (either > 80 or < 20). This implies the script looks for high volatility/momentum, regardless of whether it is traditionally "overbought" or "oversold."
Date & Toggle: The current date is within the backtesting range, and "Enable Long Trading" is turned on.
Long Exit (Selling)
The strategy closes the Long position when the Price crosses under the Gaussian Upper Band.
Interpretation: It rides the breakout wave, but as soon as price weakens and falls back inside the volatility channel, the trade is closed.
Short Trade Setup (Selling)
The strategy enters a Short position when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Trend is Bearish: The Gaussian Filter is sloping downwards (Red).
Breakout: The Closing Price is below the Gaussian Lower Band (lband).
Momentum Validation: The Stoch RSI k line is at an extreme reading (either > 80 or < 20).
Date & Toggle: The current date is within the backtesting range, and "Enable Short Trading" is turned on.
Short Exit (Covering)
The strategy closes the Short position when the Price crosses over the Gaussian Lower Band.
4. Visuals & Settings
Chart Overlay: The bands and the middle line are plotted on the chart.
Bar Colors: The candlesticks change color based on their position relative to the bands and the previous candle (e.g., bright green for strong bullish breakouts, bright red for strong bearish breakouts).
Backtesting Inputs:
Capital: Starts with $1,000.
Position Size: Uses 100% of equity per trade.
Date Range: Filters trades between 2018 and 2069.
Summary
This is a momentum breakout strategy . It does not try to buy the bottom or sell the top. Instead, it waits for the trend to establish itself (Gaussian slope) and for the price to explode outside of normal volatility ranges (Bands). It uses the Stoch RSI to ensure the move has enough "juice" behind it, and it exits quickly if the price retreats back into the normal range.
Trendtrading
Moving Average Channel Breakout (No Repaint) This indicator creates a channel using two simple moving averages: SMA of highs (upper line) and SMA of lows (lower line).
How it works:
- When a candle closes above the upper channel line, the following candles turn green (bullish trend)
- When a candle closes below the lower channel line, the following candles turn red (bearish trend)
- The trend color remains until a breakout in the opposite direction occurs
Anti-repaint:
This indicator does NOT repaint. The candle color is determined at the open, based on the previous candle's close. Once a candle opens with a color, that color never changes.
Breakout strategy:
- Candle opens green → Long entry signal
- Candle opens red → Short entry signal
The signal and entry moment are perfectly synchronized at the candle open, making it ideal for systematic breakout strategies.
Robrechtian Long-Medium Breakout Trend SystemRobrechtian Long–Medium-Term Breakout Trend System
A professional, rule-based trend-following strategy designed to capture large, sustained price movements using pure price action and breakouts.
This system follows long-established trend-following philosophy: no prediction, no volatility targeting, and no profit targets. Only disciplined entries, position additions, and exits driven entirely by trend structure.
Core Principles
Breakout-driven entries: Initial positions are taken only when price breaks above/below the 80-day Donchian channel, confirming a long–medium-term trend shift.
Short-term confirmation: Breakouts must also exceed the 20-day channel, reducing false positives.
Trend-direction filter: A 50-day moving average slope filter ensures alignment with the broader trend.
Explosive bar filter: Entries avoid excessively large, single-candle expansions (>2.5× ATR(20)) to prevent chasing exhaustion spikes.
Pyramiding into strength: Additional units are added only when price makes fresh 20-day breakouts in the direction of the trend. No scaling out. No adding on dips.
Exit only on trend violation: Positions are closed exclusively when price breaks the opposite 80-day channel. This preserves unlimited upside while enforcing disciplined exits.
Pure trend philosophy: No volatility targeting, no smoothing, no discretionary overrides, no optimization for short-term performance.
Intended Use
This system is designed primarily for diversified futures portfolios, where diversification across dozens of globally liquid markets creates robustness and stability. However, it may also be used on individual assets for educational and analytical purposes.
The system embraces the core trend-following logic:
Small losses, big winners, and unlimited upside when trends persist.
⚠️ WARNINGS / DISCLAIMERS
⚠️ Warning 1 — This strategy is not optimized for single stocks
The Robrechtian Trend System is designed for multi-asset futures portfolios, not single equities.
Performance on individual tickers may vary greatly due to lack of diversification.
⚠️ Warning 2 — Trend following includes substantial drawdowns
Deep drawdowns are a normal and expected feature of all long-term trend-following systems.
The strategy does not attempt to smooth returns or manage volatility.
If you seek steady, low-volatility equity curves, this system is not suitable.
⚠️ Warning 3 — No volatility targeting or risk smoothing
This system intentionally avoids volatility-based position sizing.
Trades may experience larger fluctuations than systems using risk parity or vol targeting.
⚠️ Warning 4 — Not financial advice
This script is for educational and research purposes only.

Regime Filter [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Regime Filter is a dual-factor trend condition tool combining price trend momentum and volume expansion into a single, easy-to-read visual framework. It quantifies recent trend direction and volume shifts, then shows them as:
Two oscillator plots for Trend and Volume regimes
Dynamic candle coloring for trend clarity
A quadrant scatter map in your chart corner for immediate regime recognition.
This filter helps traders quickly detect when a trend is healthy & confirmed by strong volume, or weakening & vulnerable due to low volume.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Oscillator: A loop-based trend value calculated by comparing the current smoothed price (HMA of HLC3) against its own trailing history. Positive values indicate trend-up regimes, negative values signal trend-down phases.
Volume Oscillator: Similar loop logic but on smoothed volume (HMA of Volume) — highlighting whether trading activity is expanding or contracting relative to past bars.
hma = ta.hma(hlc3, 15)
vol = ta.hma(volume, 15)
for i = 0 to len
if hma > hma
trend += 1
else
trend -= 1
for i = 0 to len
if vol > vol
voltrend += 1
else
voltrend -= 1
Regime Map Scatter Plot: A unique 2D quadrant displayed in the bottom-right corner. This shows where the market is sitting:
> Top Right (green): Trend ↑ and Volume ↑ → strong confirmed up trend.
> Top Left (red): Trend ↓ but Volume ↑ → strong sell momentum.
> Bottom Right (blue): Trend ↑ but Volume ↓ → uptrend losing steam.
> Bottom Left (yellow): Trend ↓ and Volume ↓ → weak bearish drift.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles are colored by trend only: green for uptrends, red for downtrends, and orange near reversals.
Threshold Fills: The oscillator region is shaded green above +10 (healthy uptrend) and red below -10 (strong downtrend) for instant confidence.
🔵 FEATURES
Normalized trend and volume values adapt automatically to your lookback length.
Candlestick color overrides highlight current trend state in real-time.
Clear zero-line and fill bands help you gauge strength vs. noise.
Scatter regime dashboard updates live to track when trend and volume align or decouple.
Color gradients show intensification or cooling in both oscillators and the regime map.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for sustained positive trend and volume values to confirm strong directional moves.
Watch for the scatter dot in the green square (top right) for high-confidence breakouts.
If the dot drops to bottom right, uptrend may be tiring — possible exit zone.
If the dot jumps top left, bearish drive is reinforced by heavy volume — caution on longs.
Use the orange trend coloring as an early warning that trend pressure may be shifting.
Combine with breakout levels or moving averages for a robust regime filter system.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Regime Filter distills price trend and volume dynamics into an actionable multi-mode display: oscillators, color-coded candles, and an intuitive scatter map. This all-in-one layout helps traders visually read market regime strength and spot fading trends before they turn — perfect for swing traders, intraday scalpers, and macro trend followers alike.
The Oracle: Dip & Top Adaptive Sniper [Hakan Yorganci]█ OVERVIEW
The Oracle: Dip & Top Adaptive Sniper is a precision-focused trend trading strategy designed to solve the biggest problem in swing trading: Timing.
Most trend-following strategies chase price ("FOMO"), buying when the asset is already overextended. The Oracle takes a different approach. It adopts a "Sniper" mentality: it identifies a strong macro trend but patiently waits for a Mean Reversion (pullback) to execute an entry at a discounted price.
By combining the structural strength of Moving Averages (SMA 50/200) with the momentum precision of RSI and the volatility filtering of ADX, this script filters out noise and targets high-probability setups.
█ HOW IT WORKS
This strategy operates on a strictly algorithmic protocol known as "The Yorganci Protocol," which involves three distinct phases: Filter, Target, and Execute.
1. The Macro Filter (Trend Identification)
* SMA 200 Rule: By default, the strategy only scans for buy signals when the price is trading above the 200-period Simple Moving Average. This ensures we are always trading in the direction of the long-term bull market.
* Adaptive Switch: A new feature allows users to toggle the Only Buy Above SMA 200? filter OFF. This enables the strategy to hunt for oversold bounces (dead cat bounces) even during bearish or neutral market structures.
2. The Volatility Filter (ADX Integration)
* Sideways Protection: One of the main weaknesses of moving average strategies is "whipsaw" losses during choppy, ranging markets.
* Solution: The Oracle utilizes the ADX (Average Directional Index). It will BLOCK any trade entry if the ADX is below the threshold (Default: 20). This ensures capital is only deployed when a genuine trend is present.
3. The Sniper Entry (Buying the Dip)
* Instead of buying on breakout strength (e.g., RSI > 60), The Oracle waits for the RSI Moving Average to dip into the "Value Zone" (Default: 45) and cross back up. This technique allows for tighter stops and higher Risk/Reward ratios compared to traditional breakout systems.
█ EXIT STRATEGY
The Oracle employs a dynamic dual-exit mechanism to maximize gains and protect capital:
* Take Profit (The Peak): The strategy monitors RSI heat. When the RSI Moving Average breaches the Overbought Threshold (Default: 75), it signals a "Take Profit", securing gains near the local top before a potential reversal.
* Stop Loss (Trend Invalidated): If the market structure fails and the price closes below the 50-period SMA, the position is immediately closed to prevent deep drawdowns.
█ SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION
* Moving Averages: Fully customizable lengths for Support (SMA 50) and Trend (SMA 200).
* Trend Filter: Checkbox to enable/disable the "Bull Market Only" rule.
* RSI Thresholds:
* Sniper Buy Level: Adjustable (Default: 45). Lower values = Deeper dips, fewer trades.
* Peak Sell Level: Adjustable (Default: 75). Higher values = Longer holds, potentially higher profit.
* ADX Filter: Checkbox to enable/disable volatility filtering.
█ BEST PRACTICES
* Timeframe: Designed primarily for 4H (4-Hour) charts for swing trading. It can also be used on 1H for more frequent signals.
* Assets: Highly effective on trending assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and high-volume Altcoins.
* Risk Warning: This strategy is designed for "Long Only" spot or leverage trading. Always use proper risk management.
█ CREDITS
* Original Concept: Inspired by the foundational work of Murat Besiroglu (@muratkbesiroglu).
* Algorithm Development & Enhancements: Developed by Hakan Yorganci (@hknyrgnc).
* Modifications include: Integration of ADX filters, Mean Reversion entry logic (RSI Dip), and Dynamic Peak Profit taking.
Trendshift [CHE]Trendshift — First-Shift Regime Turns with Premium/Discount Context
Summary
Trendshift highlights the first confirmed directional structure shift in price and overlays a premium or discount context based on the most recent structural range. It identifies the major swing levels, detects a regime transition when price closes beyond these levels with optional ATR-based conviction, and marks only the first shift per direction to reduce repetition and noise. The indicator then establishes a premium or discount band around the break and tints the background when price operates in either region. This produces a clean regime-aware view that emphasizes only the earliest actionable turn while maintaining contextual bias information.
Motivation: Why this design?
Conventional swing-based structure tools often fire repeated signals after each minor break, especially in volatile environments. This leads to cluttered charts and little informational value. Trendshift focuses on the core trading need: isolating the first confirmed change in directional structure and providing a premium or discount context after the break. By limiting signals to the initial flip and suppressing further markers until direction reverses again, the script reduces noise and highlights only the structural event that materially matters. The band logic further addresses the challenge of distinguishing contextual extremes and avoiding trades taken too late after a shift.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Most structure indicators repeatedly plot every new break of a swing high or swing low.
Differences:
Only the first confirmed bullish or bearish shift is plotted until the opposite direction occurs.
ATR-filtered breakout validation to reduce false breaks during volatility spikes.
A reduced premium and discount band derived from the breakout candle and prior swing structure.
Tinted background for contextual positioning rather than explicit entry signals.
Practical effect:
Fewer but more meaningful shift markers.
Clear visual context of where price operates relative to the structural band.
Cleaner regime transitions and less chart clutter.
How it works (technical)
The indicator continuously evaluates major swing highs and lows using a symmetric window length. When a swing is confirmed, the script stores its price and bar index. A structure shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing in the opposite direction. Optional ATR filtering requires the breakout distance to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold.
Upon a confirmed shift, the script sets a regime state that remains active until a new shift or an optional timeout. It also establishes a structural band anchored between the breakout candle extremum and the prior opposite swing. The band informs the premium and discount boundaries, each representing a quarter subdivision.
Only the first shift event per direction generates a visual triangle marker. The band is validated by comparing its height to ATR to avoid extremely narrow structures. Background tinting activates whenever price resides within the premium or discount zones. Persistent variables maintain previous structural states and prevent re-triggering until direction reverses.
Parameter Guide
Swing length (default 5): Controls the number of bars used on each side of a swing. Smaller values are more reactive; larger values reduce noise.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakout strength beyond the swing to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold. Disabling increases signal frequency.
ATR length (default 14): Controls volatility estimation for breakout filtering and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Higher values require stronger breakouts, reducing false shifts.
Enable framework (default true): Activates the premium and discount context logic.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Retains the current band after a regime timeout.
Min band size ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects extremely small bands and prevents unrealistic tinting.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Resets the regime after extended inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Swaps premium and discount tint color assignments.
Show zone tint (default true): Toggles background shading.
Show shift markers (default true): Enables or disables the first-shift triangles.
Reading & Interpretation
A green or red tint signals that price is operating in the discount or premium region of the most recent structural band. These regions are derived from the breakout event and the prior swing. A green triangle below a bar indicates the first bullish structure shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above a bar indicates the first bearish shift after a bullish regime. No further markers appear until direction reverses. When tint is active, price location within the band offers simple contextual bias without providing explicit entries.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Treat the first bullish marker as the earliest confirmation of a potential up-regime and the first bearish marker for a potential down-regime. Use price location relative to the premium and discount zones as context for continuation or mean-reversion setups.
Structure-based execution: Combine with simple swing highs and lows to refine entry points within discount after a bullish shift or within premium after a bearish shift.
Higher-timeframe overlays: Apply the indicator on higher timeframes to define macro structure, then trade on lower timeframes using the band as a contextual anchor.
Risk management: When price stays in premium during a bearish regime or in discount during a bullish regime, consider protective actions or position management adjustments.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The script uses only confirmed swing points and closed-bar conditions, so repainting from future bars does not occur except the inherent delay of pivot confirmation. No higher-timeframe security calls are used, avoiding HTF repaint paths.
Performance impact is minimal because the script uses no loops or arrays and relies on persistent variables. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand, required for swing lookback. Known limitations include quiet behavior during long consolidations, occasional delayed recognition of shifts due to swing confirmation, and limited effectiveness during large market gaps where extremum logic may be distorted.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Increase the swing length for smoother trend shifts and fewer signals.
Decrease the swing length for more sensitivity.
Raise the ATR breakout multiplier to reduce noise in volatile markets.
Lower the band size requirement to make premium and discount zones more active on slower markets.
Extend the regime timeout for slow-moving assets.

SNP420/INDI/support_resist_future_levelFunctionality – short description
The indicator automatically detects the latest pivot highs/lows and builds the current resistance and support levels from them. New levels start as candidate levels (dotted lines).
Using an ATR-based tolerance, it counts how many times price precisely tests and rejects the level (touch + reversal).
Once the minimum number of touches is reached, the level is marked as validated (solid line). The indicator also detects breakouts of S/R, colors breakout candles, projects a target level after the breakout, and highlights retests of the broken levels with boxes.

ps: Piece a love
Trend BG v2Trend BG v2 colors the chart background based on Directional Movement (DM) and DI strength. It provides an easy visual way to identify trending and non-trending conditions on any timeframe.
How It Works
The script calculates:
Upward Directional Movement (DM+)
Downward Directional Movement (DM–)
True Range smoothed with RMA (14-period)
Positive DI and Negative DI values from classic ADX logic
The trend state is determined by comparing +DI vs –DI:
+DI > –DI → Uptrend
–DI > +DI → Downtrend
Otherwise → Neutral / Sideways
The script then applies a background color based on the detected trend.
Color transparency and theme can be adjusted using the input options.
Why This Script Is Useful
Instead of plotting DI lines or ADX curves, this version presents the trend directly on the background, making it ideal for:
Quick trend recognition
Visual filtering of choppy vs trending markets
Enhancing manual or automated setups
Intraday scalping, positional trend following, and multi-timeframe analysis
The background display is subtle, customizable, and does not interfere with other indicators on the chart.
Key Features
Trend-colored chart background (Up / Down / Neutral)
Adjustable color palette and transparency
Built using classic Directional Movement logic
Works on all markets and all timeframes
Lightweight and efficient (no repainting)
How to Use It
Apply the indicator on your chart and use the background colors to:
Align trades with the market trend
Avoid trading during neutral or low-momentum periods
Confirm trend direction before entries
Improve clarity when using your existing indicators
This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals by itself; instead, it helps visualize the underlying trend environment so traders can make more informed decisions.

SuperMA is a multi-layered moving-average and candle-coloring system that combines SMA, EMA, and optional HMA logic to help traders visualize trend shifts, pullbacks, and momentum changes in a clean, structured way.
The script includes multiple modules: trend-based moving averages, pullback signals, exit logic, and an optional HMA cross engine.
📌 Core Features
1. Full SMA + EMA Framework
The indicator plots multiple moving averages (8, 9, 13, 20, 50, 200) using both SMA and EMA calculations. Each line automatically colors bullish or bearish based on its relationship to the 200-period baseline. Users can toggle SMAs and EMAs independently for clearer chart control.
2. Main Trend Entry & Exit Logic (8×200 and 8×20)
Built-in crossover logic detects:
Main Entry: SMA 8 crossing above/below EMA 200
Main Exit: SMA 8 and SMA 20 cross (with an option to choose which SMA is treated as the “fast” leg)
A “first exit only” option allows the script to ignore additional exit signals until a new trend regime begins.
3. Pullback Module (20 SMA Interaction)
Pullback entries and exits occur when price crosses the 20 SMA during existing trend conditions.
This includes:
Pullback entries through the 20 SMA
Pullback exits back across the 20 SMA
Labels and candle colors are available for all pullback events.
4. Optional HMA Cross Module
A separate module allows traders to use two Hull Moving Averages (HMA) with customizable:
Lengths
Independent timeframes

Fractals Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Fractals Trend is a trend-following overlay that leverages fractal swing points to define dynamic support and resistance zones. By storing and averaging recent high and low fractals, it determines trend direction and plots a smooth band that flips depending on market bias—displaying support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Fractal Swings: Fractals are identified using a customizable length. A high fractal forms when the current high is the highest in a range; a low fractal when the current low is the lowest.
Fractal Memory: The indicator keeps a rolling window of recent high and low fractals inside arrays, limited by the user-defined storage quantity.
switch
upperF => FracrtalsUpper.push(high )
lowerF => FracrtalsLower.push(low )
FracrtalsUpper.size() > fCount => FracrtalsUpper.shift()
FracrtalsLower.size() > fCount => FracrtalsLower.shift()
Trend Detection: Price crossing above the average, min/max or median high fractals signals an uptrend; crossing below average, min/max or median low fractals signals a downtrend.
Dynamic Band Plotting: Depending on the trend, the script plots the average of either the upper or lower fractals as a trailing support or resistance line.
Visual Confirmation: Fractal labels appear as triangle markers at highs and lows, providing additional structural context.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatically detects high and low fractals using customizable length.
Stores a defined number of fractals to smooth out noise and reduce false signals.
Flips trend bias dynamically with colored band and smooth transitions.
Plots fractal-based support in bullish trends, resistance in bearish trends.
Triangle markers show real-time fractal highs and lows.
Fully configurable visuals, color themes, and fractal detection logic.
Clean, non-intrusive overlay that works on any market or timeframe.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the colored band as a directional filter: green = uptrend (support), orange = downtrend (resistance).
Combine with entry signals or break/retest strategies when price approaches the band.
Use triangle markers to confirm structural swing points.
Adjust Fractals Length to tune sensitivity—shorter values detect quicker shifts, longer values reduce noise.
Change the fractal bands type to adapt trend detection to different market conditions.
Use in conjunction with momentum or volume tools for confluence.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Fractals Trend offers a lightweight, intuitive way to track market bias using price structure alone. Its smart switching logic and clean visuals make it a powerful tool for trend traders seeking structure-based dynamic S/R—without laggy moving averages or overcomplicated signals.
Trend Line Methods (TLM)Trend Line Methods (TLM)
Overview
Trend Line Methods (TLM) is a visual study designed to help traders explore trend structure using two complementary, auto-drawn trend channels. The script focuses on how price interacts with rising or falling boundaries over time. It does not generate trade signals or manage risk; its purpose is to support discretionary chart analysis.
Method 1 – Pivot Span Trendline
The Pivot Span Trendline method builds a dynamic channel from major swing points detected by pivot highs and pivot lows.
• The script tracks a configurable number of recent pivot highs and lows.
• From the oldest and most recent stored pivot highs, it draws an upper trend line.
• From the oldest and most recent stored pivot lows, it draws a lower trend line.
• An optional filled area can be drawn between the two lines to highlight the active trend span.
As new pivots form, the lines are recalculated so that the channel evolves with market structure. This method is useful for visualising how price respects a trend corridor defined directly by swing points.
Method 2 – 5-Point Straight Channel
The 5-Point Straight Channel method approximates a straight trend channel using five key points extracted from a fixed lookback window.
Within the selected window:
• The window is divided into five segments of similar length.
• In each segment, the highest high is used as a representative high point.
• In each segment, the lowest low is used as a representative low point.
• A straight regression-style line is fitted through the five high points to form the upper boundary.
• A second straight line is fitted through the five low points to form the lower boundary.
The result is a pair of straight lines that describe the overall directional channel of price over the chosen window. Compared to Method 1, this approach is less focused on the very latest swings and more on the broader slope of the market.
Inputs & Menus
Pivot Span Trendline group (Method 1)
• Enable Pivot Span Trendline – Turns Method 1 on or off.
• High trend line color / Low trend line color – Colors of the upper and lower trend lines.
• Fill color between trend lines – Base color used to shade the area between the two lines. Transparency is controlled internally.
• Trend line thickness – Line width for both high and low trend lines.
• Trend line style – Line style (solid, dashed, or dotted).
• Pivot Left / Pivot Right – Number of bars to the left and right used to confirm pivot highs and lows. Larger values produce fewer but more significant swing points.
• Pivot Count – How many historical pivot points are kept for constructing the trend lines.
• Lookback Length – Number of bars used to keep pivots in range and to extend the trend lines across the chart.
5-Point Straight Channel group (Method 2)
• Enable 5-Point Straight Channel – Turns Method 2 on or off.
• High channel line color / Low channel line color – Colors of the upper and lower channel lines.
• Channel line thickness – Line width for both channel lines.
• Channel line style – Line style (solid, dashed, or dotted).
• Channel Length (bars) – Lookback window used to divide price into five segments and build the straight high/low channel.
Using Both Methods Together
Both methods are designed to visualise the same underlying idea: price tends to move inside rising or falling channels. Method 1 emphasises the most recent swing structure via pivot points, while Method 2 summarises the broader channel over a fixed window.
When the Pivot Span Trendline corridor and the 5-Point Straight Channel boundaries align or intersect, they can highlight zones where multiple ways of drawing trend lines point to similar support or resistance areas. Traders can use these confluence zones as a visual reference when planning their own entries, exits, or risk levels, according to their personal trading plan.
Notes
• This script is meant as an educational and analytical tool for studying trend lines and channels.
• It does not generate trading signals and does not replace independent analysis or risk management.
• The behaviour of both methods is timeframe- and symbol-agnostic; they will adapt to whichever chart you apply them to.
NBarForwardOdds# N Bar Forward Odds
## Description
Calculates the probability of a closing price exceeding a closing price at a specified interval away from the
current bar. It does this by iterating through a series of intervals (1 to 20) and determining if the closing
price of the current bar is greater than the closing price of the bar at that interval.
## Usage:
Selectable base interval from the input configuration panel is calculated with a value step in a range `1:20` to get the final interval displayed.
Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast combines volatility envelopes from Bollinger Bands with a linear regression-based projection model .
It visualizes both current and future price zones by extrapolating the Bollinger channel forward in time, giving traders a statistical forecast of probable support and resistance behavior.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Classic Bollinger Bands use a moving average (basis) and standard deviation (deviation) to form dynamic envelopes around price.
This indicator enhances them with linear regression slope detection , allowing it to forecast how the band may expand or contract in the future.
Regression is applied to both the band’s basis and deviation components to predict their trajectory for a user-defined number of Forecast Bars .
The resulting forecast creates a smoothed, funnel-shaped projection that dynamically adapts to volatility.
▲ and ▼ markers highlight potential mean reversion points when price crosses the outer bounds of the bands.
🔵 FEATURES
Forecast Engine : Uses linear regression to project Bollinger Band movement into the future.
Dynamic Channel Width : Adapts standard deviation and slope for realistic volatility modeling.
Auto-Labeled Levels : Displays live upper and lower forecast values for quick reference.
Cross Signals : Marks potential overbought and oversold zones with ▲/▼ signals when price exits the band.
Trend-Adaptive Basis Color : Basis line automatically switches color to represent short-term trend direction.
Customizable Colors and Widths for complete visual control.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Apply the indicator to visualize both current Bollinger structure and its forward projection.
Use ▲/▼ breakout markers to identify short-term reversals or volatility shifts.
When price consistently rides the upper band forecast, the trend is strong and likely continuing.
When regression shows narrowing bands ahead, expect a volatility contraction or consolidation period.
For range traders, outer projected bands can be used as potential mean reversion entry points .
Combine with volume or momentum filters to confirm whether breakouts are genuine or fading.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast transforms classic Bollinger analysis into a predictive forecasting model .
By merging volatility dynamics with regression-based extrapolation, it provides traders with a forward-looking visualization of likely price boundaries — revealing not only where volatility is but also where it’s heading next.
Normalised Volume Oscillator [BackQuant]Normalised Volume Oscillator
A refined evolution of the Klinger Volume Oscillator, rebuilt for clarity, precision, and adaptability. This tool normalizes volume-driven momentum into a bounded scale so you can easily identify shifts in accumulation and distribution across any asset or timeframe, while keeping readings comparable between markets.
What this indicator does
The Normalised Volume Oscillator quantifies the balance between buying and selling pressure using the Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) as its base, then rescales it dynamically into a normalized range between -0.5 and +0.5. This normalization allows traders to interpret relative strength and exhaustion in volume flow, rather than dealing with raw unbounded values that differ across symbols.
It is a momentum-volume hybrid that reveals the strength of trend participation: when buyers dominate, normalized readings rise toward +0.5; when sellers dominate, they fall toward -0.5. The midline (0) acts as an equilibrium between accumulation and distribution.
Core components
Klinger Volume Oscillator: The foundation of this indicator, combining volume with price trend direction to measure long-term money flow relative to short-term movement.
Normalization process: The raw KVO is scaled over a user-defined Normalisation Period , computing `(KVO - lowest) / (highest - lowest) - 0.5`. This centers all readings around zero, allowing overbought/oversold detection independent of asset volatility or volume magnitude.
Signal moving average: The normalized KVO is smoothed with a user-selectable moving average type—SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, ALMA, and others. This becomes the signal line for confirmation of trend direction or mean-reversion setups.
How it works conceptually
1. The KVO detects when volume supports price movement (bullish) or diverges from it (bearish).
2. The script normalizes the raw KVO so that relative magnitude is consistent—what is “strong buying pressure” looks the same on BTCUSD as it does on AAPL.
3. Overbought and oversold regions are derived statistically, rather than from arbitrary values, based on percentile zones around ±0.4 and ±0.5.
4. The oscillator is optionally combined with a moving average to help identify crossovers, momentum shifts, and divergence confirmation.
How to interpret it
Above 0: Indicates dominant buying pressure and likely continuation of upward momentum.
Below 0: Suggests dominant selling pressure and potential continuation of downward movement.
Crosses of 0: Often mark transitions between accumulation and distribution phases.
+0.4 to +0.5 zone: Overbought region where buying intensity is stretched; watch for deceleration or divergence.
[-0.4 to -0.5 zone: Oversold region indicating panic or exhaustion in selling.
Signal-line crossover: A traditional momentum confirmation method; when the normalized KVO crosses above its moving average, buyers regain control, and vice versa.
Why normalization matters
Typical volume oscillators are asset-specific—what is considered “high” volume for one symbol is not the same for another. By dynamically normalizing KVO values within a rolling lookback, this version transforms raw amplitude into a standardized scale. This means you can:
Compare multiple assets objectively.
Set consistent alert thresholds for overbought/oversold regions.
Avoid misleading interpretations from absolute oscillator values.
Customization and UI
Moving Average Type & Period: Select your preferred smoothing method (SMA, EMA, TEMA, etc.) and adjust its period to tune sensitivity.
Normalisation Period: Defines how many bars the KVO range is measured over; shorter periods adapt faster, longer ones smooth more.
Visual Toggles:
* Show Oscillator : enables or hides the core histogram.
* Show Moving Average : adds a smoothed overlay for signal confirmation.
* Paint Candles : optional color overlay for chart candles based on oscillator direction.
* Show Static Levels : displays ±0.4 and ±0.5 zones for overbought/oversold boundaries.
How to use it
Trend confirmation: Use midline (0) crossovers as confirmation of emerging trend shifts—cross above 0 suggests a new bullish phase, cross below 0 a bearish one.
Reversal spotting: Look for normalized readings reaching ±0.5 and flattening, or diverging against price extremes.
Divergence analysis: When price makes a new high but the normalized oscillator fails to, it signals waning buying conviction (and vice versa for lows).
Multi-timeframe integration: Works best alongside higher timeframe trend filters or moving averages; normalization makes this consistent.
Alerts
Prebuilt alert conditions allow quick automation:
Midline crossovers (0): transition between accumulation and distribution.
Overbought (+0.4) and Oversold (-0.4) triggers for potential exhaustion.
Signal moving-average crosses for confirmation entries.
Tips for use
Combine with price structure—don’t fade every overbought/oversold reading; confirm with break of structure or candle patterns.
Use longer normalization periods for position trading, shorter for intraday analysis.
In choppy markets, treat 0-line oscillations as noise filters, not trade triggers.
Summary
The Normalised Volume Oscillator modernizes the classic Klinger Volume Oscillator by normalizing its readings into a standardized range. This makes it more adaptive across assets and timeframes, improves interpretability, and provides intuitive, data-driven overbought/oversold levels. Whether used standalone or as a confirmation layer, it offers a clearer view of volume dynamics—revealing when markets are truly being accumulated, distributed, or stretched beyond their sustainable extremes.
Adaptive Trend Trigger // VX-ATTAdaptive Trend Trigger // VX-ATT is a trend-following bias indicator that combines a baseline EMA with adaptive ATR bands and a momentum override layer.
Core idea:
The EMA defines the baseline trend.
ATR bands above/below the EMA mark zones where volatility is high enough to justify a directional push.
A break above the upper band switches the bias to Long.
A break below the lower band switches the bias to Short.
Strong candle bodies (measured vs. an average body size) can temporarily override the current bias when they close far above/below the EMA (momentum override).
What the indicator does:
Colors the background based on the active bias (Long/Short).
Plots EMA + ATR bands.
Marks strong momentum candles with arrows.
Provides alerts when the bias flips from Long → Short or Short → Long.
Typical use cases:
Trend filter for discretionary entries
Bias layer for strategies or additional indicators
Only trade in the direction of the active bias (e.g., favor Long setups in Long bias, avoid counter-trend scalps)
This is a simplified, free component extracted from my VX toolset (VX-ATT), designed as a clean, plug-and-play trend/bias layer you can combine with your own setups.
XAUUSD Fisher Transform Dashboard — Trend & Momentum InsightsThe script offers an educational visualization of trend and momentum on XAUUSD by combining the Fisher Transform with EMA direction. It plots momentum shifts, trend alignment, and includes a concise dashboard showing trend bias, the latest crossover event, and customizable percentage-based reference markers.

Breakout ScannerThis is a Breakout Scanner that shows you the immediate trend across 4 higher timeframes for up to 10 different tickers. It calculates a score from 1 to 3 for bullish and -1 to -3 for bearish based on where price is currently at compared to the previous higher timeframe’s candle levels.
When price is breaking out of the previous higher timeframe candle’s range, then it will have a score of 3 for bullish breakout or -3 for bearish breakout. When price is above the high or below the low of multiple different higher timeframe candles, you can expect price to continue the breakout and move to a new area of price range.
The brighter red or green the color is, the stronger the trend is on that timeframe. When it shows a bright green or red box on the far right side of a ticker, it is notifying you that the ticker is bullish or bearish on all timeframes and trending strongly, so switch over to that chart and look to trade in the direction of that trend.
The tickers, colors and time frames can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many tickers or time frames as you’d like if you want less tickers or time frames to show up on the indicator. It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish for one ticker.
Make sure to keep each timeframe set to a timeframe that is higher than your chart timeframe.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green background. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green background. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green background.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the color will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red background. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red background. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red background.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the color will be.
Total Score Display
On the right side of the indicator table, there is a column that displays the total score by adding all the scores together so you can easily tell the overall strength of the trend across all timeframes. Wait for the trend score to be at least 75% of the possible score to trade so you can ensure you are only trading very strong trends and increase your probability of winning your trade. The total score will update according to how many time frames you have enabled in the settings. You can also turn on or off the total score count if you prefer. The default setting is off.
All Timeframe Trends Agree
When all of the timeframes that you have turned on are in the same direction at the same time, a green or red box will appear on the far right side of the scanner. This is a visual cue that lets you know the strongest trending markets without having to read any of the numbers. Make sure to check out the charts for the markets that have a green or red box on the far right side and look for potential trend trading opportunities.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all time frames for a certain ticker are bullish or bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all time frames that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Best Way To Use The Scanner
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time and then look to trade in the direction of the strong trend. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend when the market is trending strongly and making new highs or lows.
When one of the markets in the scanner shows all timeframes trending, go to that chart and see how price action is reacting to the previous higher timeframe candle levels. You can see those levels easily by adding our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator to your chart and using the same timeframes as your Breakout Scanner is using.
If price is holding the higher timeframe candle levels well, then look to place trades in the direction of the trend that the Breakout Scanner is showing.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Trend Strength Indicator to easily read the historical trends of price compared to the higher timeframes and use those trends to guide you on when to trade and which direction to trade.
Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels to calculate the trend scores so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Trend Strength IndicatorThis is a Trend Strength Indicator that shows you the immediate trend and historical trend of price for up to 7 higher timeframes.
It shows the strength of each timeframe by showing a red or green dot based on where price is at compared to the previous higher timeframe candle. The brighter red or green the dot is, the stronger the trend is compared to that higher timeframe candle.
The colors and timeframes can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many timeframes as you’d like if you want less time frames to show up on the indicator.
It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish.
Keep these timeframes set to higher time frames than your chart so you can trade in the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green dot. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green dot. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green dot.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the dot will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red dot. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red dot. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red dot.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the dot will be.
Trend Scoring Modes
We gave you the option to set the trend scoring mode to either score based on price above or below the midline for quick and easy trend identification, or using the midline, candle body and highs and lows to give you a more detailed view of the trend strength. You can switch between these modes by selecting your preferred mode in the settings panel. The default is Open, High, Low, Close + Midline.
Sending Trend Direction To External Indicators
We coded in the ability to use the trend strength score as a signal that you can use to filter other indicators. This feature is great for notifying signal generating indicators what direction the market is trending in so that the signal generating indicator only gives signals in the direction of the trend.
This feature works by providing a data output of 1, 0 or -1. 1 means the trend is bullish, 0 means the trend is neutral and -1 means the trend is bearish.
This score is calculated by using the score of each timeframe that is turned on and checking if all timeframes are in the same direction or not. So if 3 timeframes are turned on and they are all bullish, the indicator will provide a data output of 1. This tells your external indicators that the trend is bullish.
This data output can be found in the data window and is labeled Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators.
At the bottom of the settings panel, there is a setting called Trend Score Threshold For External Indicators. This setting is the score threshold that all timeframes will need to meet to allow a trend strength signal to go through. So if set to 1, then all timeframes must be scored 1 or higher for bullish or -1 or lower for bearish. If set to 2, then all timeframes must be 2 or higher for bullish or -2 or lower for bearish. If set to 3, then all timeframes must be 3 for bullish or -3 for bearish. If all timeframes have met this threshold, then a bullish or bearish signal can be sent to your external indicator as a trend filter.
Labels
There are labels to the right of each row of dots, telling you which timeframe is which so you can easily identify what timeframe each row is showing the trend for.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or when all timeframes are bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all timeframes that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Backtesting
This indicator helps you quickly identify and backtest the trend direction, how strong that trend is on multiple timeframes and helps you spot reversals and trend continuations. Make sure you look back at a lot of historical data to see how price moves when trend changes take place and how well price continues in each direction compared to the overall trend. This will help you gain confidence in reading the indicator and using it to your advantage when trading.
Best Way To Use The Indicator
This indicator is designed to help you quickly identify the trend on various different timeframes. The brighter the green dots are, the stronger the bullish trend is. The brighter the red dots are, the stronger the bearish trend is.
Trade in the direction of the trend. If the colors are mixed green and red, then price is likely to chop back and forth, so only trade the extremes of the ranges when that happens.
When most of the lower timeframe dots are the same color, that means it is a strong trend and you should place trades in the direction of the trend to be safe. The lower timeframes will start trending before the higher timeframes, so take notice of the lower timeframe colors starting to agree with each other and then take advantage of the trend that is forming.
You can also spot reversals with this indicator by watching for the lower timeframes to start changing color after a strong trend in one direction. The lower timeframes will start to change color one by one, indicating that the trend is actually changing direction.
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time before you place any trades. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend which is typically an easy way to win more trades. Of course wait for pullbacks during the trend so you can keep a tight stop loss after entering your trade.
If you are scalping, you can turn off the higher timeframes and just use the 1 hour through 1 day. This won’t be as reliable as using all timeframes and waiting for them to align, but it is suitable for scalping quick intraday movements.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.

PSAR with ATR Trailing Stop + SMA Filter📈 Strategy Overview: PSAR + 6×ATR Trailing Stop with SMA Filter
This strategy is built around the principle of “Cut the losers, let the winners run” — a disciplined, trend-following approach that combines the Parabolic SAR indicator with dynamic risk management and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter.
🔍 Strategy Logic
Trend Filter Trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend, defined by a user-selected SMA (default: 100).
✅ Long trades only when price is above the SMA
✅ Short trades only when price is below the SMA
Entry Signal: A trade is triggered when the Parabolic SAR flips to the opposite side of the price bars, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically set at 6×ATR from the entry price. This adapts to market volatility and is recalculated every bar — effectively acting as a trailing stop.
Exit Logic: There is no fixed take profit. The trade remains open until the trailing stop is hit — allowing winners to run and losers to be cut quickly.
Risk Management: Each trade risks 0.5% of total equity, ensuring consistent position sizing and capital preservation.
📊 Visual Elements
PSAR dots mark trend direction changes
SMA line shows the broader trend filter
Trailing stop crosses (with 50% opacity) indicate the current stop level without cluttering the chart
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
PSAR parameters: Start, Increment, Maximum
ATR length and multiplier
SMA length
Risk percentage per trade
This strategy is ideal for traders who want to stay aligned with the trend, automate disciplined exits, and avoid emotional decision-making. Clean, simple, and powerful.
Wishing you calm and successful trades!
