Relative Strength Heatmap [BackQuant]Relative Strength Heatmap
A multi-horizon RSI matrix that compresses 20 different lookbacks into a single panel, turning raw momentum into a visual “pressure gauge” for overbought and oversold clustering, trend exhaustion, and breadth of participation across time horizons.
What this is
This indicator builds a strip-style heatmap of 20 RSIs, each with a different length, and stacks them vertically as colored tiles in a single pane. Every tile is colored by its RSI value using your chosen palette, so you can see at a glance:
How many “fast” versus “slow” RSIs are overbought or oversold.
Whether momentum is concentrated in the short lookbacks or spread across the whole curve.
When momentum extremes cluster, signalling strong market pressure or exhaustion.
On top of the tiles, the script plots two simple breadth lines:
A white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70 (overbought cluster).
A black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30 (oversold cluster).
This turns a single symbol’s RSI ladder into a compact “market pressure gauge” that shows not only whether RSI is overbought or oversold, but how many different horizons agree at the same time.
Core idea
A single RSI looks at one length and one timescale. Markets, however, are driven by flows that operate on multiple horizons at once. By computing RSI over a ladder of lengths, you approximate a “term structure” of strength:
Short lengths react to immediate swings and very recent impulses.
Medium lengths reflect swing behaviour and local trends.
Long lengths reflect structural bias and higher timeframe regime.
When many lengths agree, for example 10 or more RSIs all above 70, it suggests broad participation and strong directional pressure. When only a few fast lengths stretch to extremes while longer ones stay neutral, the move is more fragile and more likely to mean-revert.
This script makes that structure visible as a heatmap instead of forcing you to run many separate RSI panes.
How it works
1) Generating RSI lengths
You control three parameters in the calculation settings:
RS Period – the base RSI length used for the shortest strip.
RSI Step – the amount added to each successive RSI length.
RSI Multiplier – a global scaling factor applied after the step.
Each of the 20 RSIs uses:
RSI length = round((base_length + step × index) × multiplier) , where the index goes from 0 to 19.
That means:
RSI 1 uses (len + step × 0) × mult.
RSI 2 uses (len + step × 1) × mult.
…
RSI 20 uses (len + step × 19) × mult.
You can keep the ladder dense (small step and multiplier) or stretch it across much longer horizons.
2) Heatmap layout and grouping
Each RSI is plotted as an “area” strip at a fixed vertical level using histbase to stack them:
RSI 1–5 form Group 1.
RSI 6–10 form Group 2.
RSI 11–15 form Group 3.
RSI 16–20 form Group 4.
Each group has a toggle:
Show only Group 1 and 2 if you care mainly about fast and medium horizons.
Show all groups for a full spectrum from very short to very long.
Hide any group that feels redundant for your workflow.
The actual numeric RSI values are not plotted as lines. Instead, each strip is drawn as a horizontal band whose fill color represents the current RSI regime.
3) Palette-based coloring
Each tile’s color is driven by the RSI value and your chosen palette. The script includes several palettes:
Viridis – smooth green to yellow, good for subtle reading.
Jet – strong blue to red sequence with high contrast.
Plasma – purple through orange to yellow.
Custom Heat – cool blues to neutral grey to hot reds.
Gray – grayscale from white to black for minimalistic layouts.
Cividis, Inferno, Magma, Turbo, Rainbow – additional scientific and rainbow-style maps.
Internally, RSI values are bucketed into ranges (for example, below 10, 10–20, …, 90–100). Each bucket maps to a unique colour for that palette. In all schemes, low RSI values are mapped to the “cold” or darker side and high RSI values to the “hot” or brighter side.
The result is a true momentum heatmap:
Cold or dark tiles show low RSI and oversold or compressed conditions.
Mid tones show neutral or mid-range RSI.
Warm or bright tiles show high RSI and overbought or stretched conditions.
4) Bull and bear breadth counts
All 20 RSI values are collected into an array each bar. Two counters are then calculated:
Bull count – how many RSIs are above 70.
Bear count – how many RSIs are below 30.
These are plotted as:
A white line (“RSI > 70 Count”) for the overbought cluster.
A black line (“RSI < 30 Count”) for the oversold cluster.
If you enable the “Show Bull and Bear Count” option, you get an immediate reading of how many of the 20 horizons are stretched at any moment.
5) Cluster alerts and background tagging
Two alert conditions monitor “strong cluster” regimes:
RSI Heatmap Strong Bull – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are above 70.
RSI Heatmap Strong Bear – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are below 30.
When one of these conditions is true, the indicator can tint the background of the chart using a soft version of the current palette. This visually marks stretches where momentum is extreme across many lengths at once, not just on a single RSI.
What it plots
In one oscillator window, the indicator provides:
Up to 20 horizontal RSI strips, each representing a different RSI length.
Color-coded tiles reflecting the current RSI value for each length.
Group toggles to show or hide each block of five RSIs.
An optional white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70.
An optional black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30.
Optional background highlights when the number of overbought or oversold RSIs passes the strong-cluster threshold.
How it measures breadth and pressure
Single-symbol breadth
Breadth is usually defined across a basket of symbols, such as how many stocks advance versus decline. This indicator uses the same concept across time horizons for a single symbol. The question becomes:
“How many different RSI lengths are stretched in the same direction at once?”
Examples:
If only 2 or 3 of the shortest RSIs are above 70, bull count stays low. The move is fast and local, but not yet broadly supported.
If 12 or more RSIs across short, medium and long lengths are above 70, the bull count spikes. The move has broad momentum and strong upside pressure.
If 10 or more RSIs are below 30, bear count spikes and you are in a broad oversold regime.
This is breadth of momentum within one market.
Market pressure gauge
The combination of heatmap tiles and breadth lines acts as a pressure gauge:
High bull count with warm colors across most strips indicates strong upside pressure and crowded long positioning.
High bear count with cold colors across most strips indicates strong downside pressure and capitulation or forced selling.
Low counts with a mixed heatmap indicate neutral pressure, fragmented flows, or range-bound conditions.
You can treat the strong-cluster alerts as “extreme pressure” signals. When they fire, the market is heavily skewed in one direction across many horizons.
How to read the heatmap
Horizontal patterns (through time)
Look along the time axis and watch how the colors evolve:
Persistent hot tiles across many strips show sustained bullish pressure and trend strength.
Persistent cold tiles across many strips show sustained bearish pressure and weak demand.
Frequent flipping between hot and cold colours indicates a choppy or mean-reverting environment.
Vertical structure (across lengths at one bar)
Focus on a single bar and read the column of tiles from top to bottom:
Short RSIs hot, long RSIs neutral or cool: early trend or short-term fomo. Price has moved fast, longer horizons have not caught up.
Short and long RSIs all hot: mature, entrenched uptrend. Broad participation, high pressure, greater risk of blow-off or late-entry vulnerability.
Short RSIs cold but long RSIs mid to high: pullback in a higher timeframe uptrend. Dip-buy and continuation setups are often found here.
Short RSIs high but long RSIs low: countertrend rallies within a broader downtrend. Good hunting ground for fades and short entries after a bounce.
Bull and bear breadth lines
Use the two lines as simple, numeric breadth indicators:
A rising white line shows more RSIs pushing above 70, so bullish pressure is expanding in breadth.
A rising black line shows more RSIs pushing below 30, so bearish pressure is expanding in breadth.
When both lines are low and flat, few horizons are extreme and the market is in mid-range territory.
Cluster zones
When either count crosses the strong threshold (for example 10 out of 20 RSIs in extreme territory):
A strong bull cluster marks a broadly overbought regime. Trend followers may see this as confirmation. Mean-reversion traders may see it as a late-stage or blow-off context.
A strong bear cluster marks a broadly oversold regime. Downtrend traders see strong pressure, but the risk of sharp short-covering bounces also increases.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation
Use the heatmap and breadth lines as a trend filter:
Prefer long setups when the heatmap shows mostly mid to high RSIs and the bull count is rising.
Avoid fresh shorts when there is a strong bull cluster, unless you are specifically trading exhaustion.
Prefer short setups when the heatmap is mostly low RSIs and the bear count is rising.
Avoid aggressive longs when a strong bear cluster is active, unless you are trading reflexive bounces.
Mean-reversion timing
Treat cluster extremes as exhaustion zones:
Look for reversal patterns, failed breakouts, or order flow shifts when bull count is very high and price starts to stall or diverge.
Look for reflexive bounce potential when bear count is very high and price stops making new lows or shows absorption at the lows.
Use the palette and counts together: hot tiles plus a peaking white line can mark blow-off conditions, cold tiles plus a peaking black line can mark capitulation.
Regime detection and risk toggling
Use the overall shape of the ladder over time:
If upper strips stay warm and lower strips stay neutral or warm for extended periods, the market is in an uptrend regime. You can justify higher risk for long-biased strategies.
If upper strips stay cold and lower strips stay neutral or cold, the market is in a downtrend regime. You can justify higher risk for short-biased strategies or defensive positioning.
If colours and counts flip frequently, you are likely in a range or choppy regime. Consider reducing size or using more tactical, short-term strategies.
Multi-horizon synchronization
You can think of each RSI length as a proxy for a different “speed” of the same market:
When only fast RSIs are stretched, the move is local and less robust.
When fast, medium and slow RSIs align, the move has multi-horizon confirmation.
You can require a minimum bull or bear count before allowing your main strategy to engage.
Spotting hidden shifts
Sometimes price appears flat or drifting, but the heatmap quietly cools or warms:
If price is sideways while many hot tiles fade toward neutral, momentum is decaying under the surface and trend risk is increasing.
If price is sideways while many cold tiles climb back toward neutral, selling pressure is decaying and the tape is repairing itself.

Tuning guidance
Fast, tactical configurations
Use a small base RS Period, for example 2 to 5.
Use a small RSI Step, for tight clustering around the fast horizon.
Keep the multiplier near 1.0 to avoid extreme long lengths.
Focus on Group 1 and Group 2 for intraday and short-term trading.
Swing and position configurations
Use a mid-range RS Period, for example 7 to 14.
Use a moderate RSI Step to fan out into slower horizons.
Optionally use a multiplier slightly above 1.0.
Keep all four groups enabled for a full view from fast to slow.
Macro or higher timeframe configurations
Use a larger base RS Period.
Use a larger RSI Step so the top of the ladder reaches very slow lengths.
Focus on Group 3 and Group 4 to see structural momentum.
Treat clusters as regime markers rather than frequent trading signals.
Notes
This indicator is a contextual tool, not a standalone trading system. It does not model execution, spreads, slippage or fundamental drivers. Use it to:
Understand whether momentum is narrow or broad across horizons.
Confirm or filter existing signals from your primary strategy.
Identify environments where the market is crowded into one side.
Distinguish between isolated spikes and truly broad pressure moves.
The Relative Strength Heatmap is designed to answer a simple but powerful question:
“How many versions of RSI agree with what I am seeing on the chart?”
By compressing those answers into a single panel with clear colour coding and breadth lines, it becomes a practical, visual gauge of momentum breadth and market pressure that you can overlay on any trading framework.

MFM – Light Context HUD (Minimal)Overview
MFM Light Context HUD is the free version of the Market Framework Model. It gives you a fast and clean view of the current market regime and phase without signals or chart noise. The HUD shows whether the asset is in a bullish or bearish environment and whether it is in a volatile, compression, drift, or neutral phase. This helps you read structure at a glance.
Asset availability
The free version works only on a selected list of five assets.
Supported symbols are
SP:SPX
TVC:GOLD
BINANCE:BTCUSD
BINANCE:ETHUSDT
OANDA:EURUSD
All other assets show a context banner only.
How it works
The free version uses fixed settings based on the original MFM model. It calculates the regime using a higher timeframe RSI ratio and identifies the current phase using simplified momentum conditions. The chart stays clean. Only a small HUD appears in the top corner. Full visual phases, ratio logic, signals, and auto tune are part of the paid version.
The free version shows the phase name only. It does not display colored phase zones on the chart.
Phase meaning
The Market Framework Model uses four structural phases to describe how the market
behaves. These are not signals but context layers that show the underlying environment.
Volatile (Phase 1)
The market is in a fast, unstable or directional environment. Price can move aggressively with
stronger momentum swings.
Compression (Phase 2)
The market is in a contracting state. Momentum slows and volatility decreases. This phase
often appears before expansion, but it does not predict direction.
Drift (Phase 3)
The market moves in a more controlled, persistent manner. Trends are cleaner and volatility
is lower compared to volatile phases.
No phase
No clear structural condition is active.
These phases describe market structure, not trade entries. They help you understand the conditions you are trading in.
Cross asset context
The Market Framework Model reads markets as a multi layer system. The full version includes cross asset analysis to show whether the asset is acting as a leader or lagger relative to its benchmark. The free version uses the same internal benchmark logic for regime detection but does not display the cross asset layer on the chart.

[CT] Donchian Histogram w/Candle ColorsDonchian Histogram, originally created by RafaelZioni and enhanced with optional price bar coloring, is a momentum-style oscillator that shows where the current close sits inside a dynamic Donchian channel and how that position is evolving over time. The script calculates a rolling high and low over a multi-session lookback period based on your chosen Donchian timeframe, then normalizes the close within that range to create a percentage position between the recent high and low. This normalized value is smoothed with a signal length and plotted as a histogram around a zero line, making it easy to see whether price is pressing toward the upper side of its recent range, the lower side, or oscillating near the middle. Positive values indicate that price is trading closer to the Donchian high, negative values indicate price is closer to the Donchian low, and the magnitude of the histogram reflects how strongly price is favoring one side of the range. The color logic highlights this state visually: stronger positive conditions can be shown in teal, moderate positive conditions in lime, stronger negative conditions in red, and neutral or transitional states in orange. The script also includes an option to color the actual chart candles with the same colors as the histogram, so traders can see Donchian-based pressure directly on the main price chart without constantly looking down at the lower pane. The indicator works on completed bars using standard highest/lowest and moving average functions, so it behaves like a normal oscillator and does not use any lookahead tricks. It is best used as a contextual tool to gauge whether price is pushing to the edges of its recent range or reverting toward balance, and to visually synchronize that information with candle colors when desired.
Regime MapRegime Map — Volatility State Detector
This indicator is a PineScript friendly approximation of a more advanced Python regime-analysis engine.
The original backed identifies market regimes using structural break detection, Hidden-Markov Models, wavelet decomposition, and long-horizon volatility clustering. Since Pine Script cannot execute these statistical models directly, this version implements a lightweight, real-time proxy using realised volatility and statistical thresholds.
The purpose is to provide a clear visual map of evolving volatility conditions without requiring any heavy offline computation.
________________________________________
Mathematical Basis: Python vs Pine
1. Volatility Estimation
Python (Realised Volatility):
RVₜ = √N × stdev( log(Pₜ) − log(Pₜ₋₁) )
Pine Approximation:
RVₜ = stdev( log(Pₜ) − log(Pₜ₋₁), lookback )
Rationale:
Realised volatility captures volatility clustering — a key characteristic of regime transitions.
________________________________________
2. Regime Classification
Python (HMM Volatility States):
Volatility is modelled as belonging to hidden states with different means and variances:
State μ₁, σ₁
State μ₂, σ₂
State μ₃, σ₃
with state transitions determined by a probability matrix.
Pine Approximation (Z-Score Regimes):
Zₜ = ( RVₜ − mean(RV) ) / stdev(RV)
Regime assignment:
• Regime 0 (Low Vol): Zₜ < Zₗₒw
• Regime 1 (Normal): Zₗₒw ≤ Zₜ ≤ Zₕᵢgh
• Regime 2 (High Vol): Zₜ > Zₕᵢgh
Rationale:
Z-scores provide clean statistical boundaries that behave similarly to HMM state separation but are computable in real time.
________________________________________
3. Structural Break Detection vs Rolling Windows
Python (Bai–Perron Structural Breaks):
Segments the volatility series into periods with distinct statistical properties by minimising squared error over multiple regimes.
Pine Approximation:
Rolling mean and rolling standard deviation of volatility over a long window.
Rationale:
When structural breaks are not available, long-window smoothing approximates slow regime changes effectively.
________________________________________
4. Multi-Scale Cycles
Python (Wavelet Decomposition):
Volatility decomposed into long-cycle (A₄) and short-cycle components (D bands).
Pine Approximation:
Single-scale smoothing using long-horizon averages of RV.
Rationale:
Wavelets reveal multi-frequency behaviour; Pine captures the dominant low-frequency component.
________________________________________
Indicator Output
The background colour reflects the active volatility regime:
• Low Volatility (Green): trending behaviour, cleaner directional movement
• Normal Volatility (Yellow): balanced environment
• High Volatility (Red): sharp swings, traps, mean-reversion phases
Regime labels appear on the chart, with a status panel displaying the current regime.
________________________________________
Operational Logic
1. Compute log returns
2. Calculate short-horizon realised volatility
3. Compute long-horizon mean and standard deviation
4. Derive volatility Z-score
5. Assign regime classification
6. Update background colour and labels
This provides a stable, real-time map of market state transitions.
________________________________________
Practical Applications
Intraday Trading
• Low-volatility regimes favour trend and breakout continuation
• High-volatility regimes favour mean reversion and wide stop placement
Swing Trading
• Compression phases often precede multi-day trending moves
• Volatility expansions accompany distribution or panic events
Risk Management
• Enables volatility-adjusted position sizing
• Helps avoid leverage during expansion regimes
________________________________________
Notes
• Does not repaint
• Fully configurable thresholds and lookbacks
• Works across indices, stocks, FX, crypto
• Designed for real-time volatility regime identification

ES-VIX Daily Price Bands - Inner and OuterES-VIX Daily Price Bands
This indicator plots dynamic intraday price bands for ES futures based on real-time volatility levels measured by the VIX (CBOE Volatility Index). The bands evolve throughout the trading day, providing volatility-adjusted price targets.
Formulas:
Upper Band = Daily Low + (ES Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
Lower Band = Daily High - (ES Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
The calculation uses the square root of 252 (trading days per year) to convert annualized VIX volatility into an expected daily move, then scales it as a percentage adjustment from the current day's extremes.
Features:
Real-time band calculation that updates throughout the trading session
Upper band (green) extends from the current day's low
Lower band (red) contracts from the current day's high
Inner upper band (green) at 50% of expected move
Inner lower band (red) at 50% of expected move
Middle Inner upper band (green) at 80% of expected move

This indicator plots dynamic intraday price bands for ES futures based on real-time volatility levels measured by the VIX (CBOE Volatility Index). The bands evolve throughout the trading day, providing volatility-adjusted price targets.
Formulas:
Upper Band = Daily Low + (ES Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
Lower Band = Daily High - (ES Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
The calculation uses the square root of 252 (trading days per year) to convert annualized VIX volatility into an expected daily move, then scales it as a percentage adjustment from the current day's extremes.
Features:
Real-time band calculation that updates throughout the trading session
Upper band (green) extends from the current day's low
Lower band (red) contracts from the current day's high
Shaded zone between bands for visual clarity
Information table displaying:
Current ES price and VIX level
Running daily high and low

@Complete Squeeze Cycle Detector v2.0 FINALDescription:
The Complete Squeeze Cycle Detector identifies and tracks the full lifecycle of squeeze formations, from pre-squeeze consolidation through active squeeze periods to squeeze completion. The indicator systematically detects the characteristic conditions that precede and accompany squeeze events.
The indicator monitors multiple factors associated with squeeze development including:
• Volatility compression relative to recent volume activity
• Elevated market stress conditions as measured by VIX levels
• Momentum compression through rate of change measurements across multiple time periods
• Alignment of multiple exponential moving averages indicating consolidation
The squeeze cycle is classified into three distinct phases: Pre-Squeeze Setup, Active Squeeze, and Squeeze Complete. Each phase is identified based on threshold levels of multiple compression metrics, with adjustable sensitivity settings to control the strictness of detection.
The indicator provides visual identification of each phase through labels, background coloring, and an optional dashboard, allowing users to distinguish between the preparation phase where volatility contracts, the active squeeze phase where compression reaches critical levels, and the completion phase where the squeeze releases and directional movement resumes.
This systematic approach enables users to identify squeeze formations throughout their complete development cycle rather than focusing only on the breakout phase.

Z-EMA Fusion BandsDesigned with crypto markets in mind, particularly Bitcoin , it builds on the concept that the 1-Week 50 EMA often serves as a long-term bull/bear market threshold — an area where institutional bias, momentum shifts, and cyclical rotations tend to occur.
🔹 Core Components & Synergies:
1. 1W 50 EMA (Higher Timeframe)
- This EMA is calculated on a weekly timeframe, regardless of your current chart.
- In crypto, price above the 1W 50 EMA typically aligns with long-term bull market phases, while extended periods below can signify bearish macro structure.
- The slope of the EMA is also analyzed to add directional confidence to trend strength.
2. ±1 Standard Deviation Bands
- Surrounding the 50 EMA, these bands visualize normal price dispersion relative to trend.
- When price consistently hugs or breaks outside these bands, it often reflects market expansion, volatility events, or mean-reversion opportunity.
3. Z-Score Gradient Fill
- The area between the bands is filled using a Z-score-based gradient, which dynamically adjusts color based on how far price is from the EMA (in terms of standard deviations).
- Color shifts from aqua (near EMA) to fuchsia (far from EMA) help you spot price compression, equilibrium, or overextension at a glance.
- The fill also uses transparency scaling, making it fade as price stretches further, emphasizing the core structure.
4. Directional EMA Coloring
- The EMA line itself is colored based on:
- The slope of the EMA (rising/falling)
- Whether the HTF candle is bullish or bearish
- This provides intuitive color-coded confirmation of momentum alignment or potential exhaustion.
5. Price/EMA Divergence Detection
- The script detects bullish and bearish divergence between price and the EMA (rather than using a traditional oscillator).
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, EMA makes a higher low.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, EMA makes a lower high.
- These signals often mark transitional zones where momentum fades before a trend reversal or correction.
📊 Suggested Uses:
🔸 Swing and Position Trading:
- Use the 1W 50 EMA as a macro-trend anchor.
- Stay long-biased when price is above with positive slope, and short-biased when below.
- Consider entries near band edges for mean-reversion plays, especially if confluence forms with divergence signals.
🔸 Volatility-Based Filtering:
- Use the Z-score fill to identify volatility compression (near EMA) or expansion (edge of bands).
- Combine this with breakout strategies or dynamic position sizing.
🔸 Divergence Confirmation:
- Combine divergence markers with HTF EMA slope for high-probability setups.
- Bullish div + EMA flattening/rising can signal the start of accumulation after a macro dip.
🔸 Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
- Works well as a structural overlay on intraday charts (1H, 4H, 1D).
- Use this indicator to track long-term bias while executing lower timeframe trades.

Support & Resistance Pro by 🅰🅻🅿Support & Resistance Pro by 🅰🅻🅿
A Multi-Layer Market Structure Engine for Professional Price Analysis
Support & Resistance Pro is a next-generation price structure algorithm designed to identify the most meaningful support and resistance levels across any market or timeframe.
Instead of relying on simple fractals, random pivots, or fixed-distance lines, this script analyzes the way price interacts with historical levels — including wick reactions, close rejections, structural pivots, retests, and liquidity sweeps.
The result is a clean, intelligent, and highly accurate market structure map that adapts to every style of trading.
🚀 Key Features
1. Multi-Layer S/R Engine (Up to 20 Dynamic Levels)
The algorithm computes and ranks up to 20 unique levels , from strongest to weakest.
Each level is scored using:
Structural pivot strength
Number of historical touches
Closeness of each interaction
Market memory & reaction weight
Breakout and retest behavior
This produces an objective hierarchy of price levels — ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing analysis.
2. Smart Strength Filter
To remove noise, the Smart Strength Filter evaluates how often price has interacted with each level and hides the ones that lack significance.
You can customize:
Lookback range
Minimum touch count
Touch tolerance sensitivity
This ensures your chart displays only the most relevant and reliable structural zones for the current environment.
3. Heat Map Intensity Coloring
Levels automatically change opacity based on their strength:
More touches → stronger color
Fewer touches → lighter color
This creates a natural visual heat map that highlights where market memory is strongest — perfect for identifying high-probability breakout or reversal zones.
4. Multi-Timeframe Compatibility
Project higher timeframe S/R onto lower timeframe charts to enhance confluence:
Day traders: render 4H levels on 5m–15m
Swing traders: render 1D levels on 1H
Scalpers: render 1H levels on 1m–3m
This gives you powerful structural awareness without switching charts.
5. Clean Visual Design
Every element has been designed to stay out of your way:
Choose your preferred level count (8–20)
Adjustable line thickness

Bollinger Bands with ATR SL Hariss 369Bollinger Bands are a popular technical analysis tool developed by John Bollinger. They consist of three lines plotted on a price chart:
Middle Band – a simple moving average (usually 20 periods).
Upper Band – the middle band plus two standard deviations.
Lower Band – the middle band minus two standard deviations.
Key Features:
Volatility Indicator: The bands expand when volatility increases and contract when volatility decreases.
Trend Analysis: Prices near the upper band indicate overbought conditions, while prices near the lower band indicate oversold conditions.
Trading Signals: Traders often look for price touches, breaks, or rebounds from the bands to identify potential entries or exits.
To strengthen the trend quality RVOL has been considered. The ideal value of RVOL is 1.5
Higher Time Frame Trend filter gives trend clarity in higher time frame. One can select RVOL and HTF (Higher Time Frame) filter.
Bollinger bands indicator is basically a trend following indicator. We should go with the trend rather book profit @1:1 or 1:2 basis. In that case we might miss the long trend. The middle band is generally considered as stop loss. However, ATR based stop loss has been designed in the script in order to capture the volatility in decent way.
Break out signal is initiated on break out with volume taking higher time frame into consideration.
One can use this indicator in any time frame and any class of asset. To filter higher time frame eg. entry / exit 5 min chart, 15m/1h can be taken as higher time frame, for 1h entry/ exit, 4h can be taken as higher time frame trend filter.
APEX TREND: Macro & Hard Stop SystemAPEX TREND: Macro & Hard Stop System
The APEX TREND System is a composite trend-following strategy engineered to solve the "Whipsaw" problem inherent in standard breakout systems. It orchestrates four distinct technical theories—Macro Trend Filtering, Volatility Squeeze, Momentum, and Volatility Stop-Loss—into a single, hierarchical decision-making engine.
This script is not merely a collection of indicators; it is a rules-based trading system designed for Swing Traders (Day/Week timeframes) who aim to capture major trend extensions while strictly managing downside risk through a "Hard Stop" mechanism.
🧠 Underlying Concepts & Originality
Many trend indicators fail because they treat all price movements equally. The APEX TREND differentiates itself by applying an "Institutional Filter" logic derived from classic Dow Theory and Modern Volatility Analysis.
1. The Macro Hard Stop (The 200 EMA Logic)
Origin: Based on the institutional mandate that “Nothing good happens below the 200-day moving average.”
Function: Unlike standard super trends that flip constantly in sideways markets, this system integrates a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a non-negotiable "Hard Stop."
Synergy: This acts as the primary gatekeeper. Even if the volatility engine signals a "Buy," the system suppresses the signal if the price is below the Macro Baseline, effectively filtering out counter-trend traps.
2. The Volatility Engine (Squeeze Theory)
Origin: Derived from John Carter’s TTM Squeeze concept.
Function: The script identifies periods where Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) contract inside Keltner Channels (ATR). This indicates a period of potential energy build-up.
Synergy: The system only triggers an entry when this energy is released (Breakout) AND coincides with Linear Regression Momentum, ensuring the breakout is genuine.
3. Anti-Chop Filter (ADX Integration)
Origin: J. Welles Wilder’s Directional Movement Theory.
Function: A common failure point for trend systems is low-volatility chop. This script utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Synergy: If the ADX is below the threshold (Default: 20), the market is deemed "Choppy." The script visually represents this by painting candles GRAY, signaling a "No-Trade Zone" regardless of price action.
4. The "Run Trend" Stop Loss (Factor 4.0 ATR)
Origin: Adapted from the Turtle Trading rules regarding volatility-based stops.
Function: Standard Trailing Stops (usually Factor 3.0) are too tight for crypto or volatile equities on daily timeframes.
Optimization: This system employs a wider ATR Multiplier of 4.0. This allows the asset to fluctuate naturally within a trend without triggering a premature exit, maximizing the "Run Trend" potential.
🛠 How It Works (The Algorithm)
The script processes data in a specific order to generate a signal:
Check Macro Trend: Is Price > EMA 200? (If No, Longs are disabled).
Check Volatility: Is ADX > 20? (If No, all signals are disabled).
Check Volume: Is Current Volume > 1.2x Average Volume? (Confirmation of institutional participation).
Trigger: Has a Volatility Breakout occurred in the direction of the Macro Trend?
Execution: If ALL above are true -> Generate Signal.
🎯 Strategy Guide
1. Long Setup (Bullish)
Signal: Look for the Green "APEX LONG" Label.
Condition: The price must be ABOVE the White Line (EMA 200).
Execution: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Initial stop at the Green Trailing Line.
2. Short Setup (Bearish)
Signal: Look for the Red "APEX SHORT" Label.
Condition: The price must be BELOW the White Line (EMA 200).
Execution: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Initial stop at the Red Trailing Line.
3. Exit Rules (Crucial)
This system employs a Dual-Exit Mechanism:
Soft Exit (Profit Taking): Close the position if the price crosses the Trailing Stop Line (Green/Red line). This locks in profits during a trend reversal.
Hard Exit (Emergency): Close the position IMMEDIATELY if the price crosses the White EMA 200 Line against your trade. This prevents holding a position during a major market regime change.
⚙️ Settings
Momentum Engine: Adjust Bollinger Band/Keltner Channel lengths to tune breakout sensitivity.
Apex Filters: Toggle the EMA 200 or ADX filters on/off to adapt to different asset classes.
Risk Management: The ATR Multiplier (Default 4.0) controls the width of the trailing stop. Lower values = Tighter stops (Scalping); Higher values = Looser stops (Swing).
Disclaimer: This script is designed for trend-following on higher timeframes (4H, 1D, 1W). Please backtest on your specific asset before live trading.
