27 ott 2020

™𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 is a very useful and a well designed indicator, that packs a range of Risk utility tools including Trend Based Stochastic Oscillator, Bollinger Bands %B , Volatility Risk Oscillator, RSI Oscillator and RSI Risk Oscillator, along with further visual risk assessment tools like Divergence Spotter, Trend based Strength detector among other useful extras.

===================================================================================================================


™𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹

The user can choose from one of the following four option from the 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 dropdown from the settings.

• 1. Trend Based Stochastic

• 2. Bollinger Bands %B

• 3. Volatility Risk Oscillator

• 4. RSI + RSI Risk Oscillator

The source price for the Risk Meter can be chosen from Sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ dropdown. Both Trend Based Stochastic and Volatility Risk Oscillator use High/Low prices as default. Enable Usᴇ Sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ Pʀɪᴄᴇ under respective section to use a different source price.

Users can choose to plot Risk Meter background fill by enabling or disabling Rɪsᴋ Mᴇᴛᴇʀ Bᴀᴄᴋɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ. The background fill is based on the trend intensity and uses 2 different colour schemes based on user preference. When the Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ is used, it uses the background fill to mask the zone. If background fill is disabled, orange colour is used to mask the zone.

All of the Risk Meter plots can be plotted as Line, Histogram or Area plots and each of the sections include the Pʟᴏᴛ Sᴛʏʟᴇ option, so the user can choose a specific type of plot style for each of the Risk Meter Oscillators, based on user preference.

═══ 𝟭. 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 ═══

Trend Based Stochastic Oscillator is a modified version of the classic Stochastic Oscillator with the difference being the limits and also the plot itself to an extent.

--> Trend based Stochastic is a single plot oscillates between -100 to +100 and occasionally breaches these limits and can signal extremely overbought or oversold conditions unlike classic Stochastic indicator, which has two plots and strictly oscillates between 0-100.

--> Trend based Stochastic is extremely sensitive to price action, making it possible to detect every single divergence, both regular and hidden, even with the default smoothing factor of 5

--> Risk Meter employs Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ to let user choose the threshold limit and only from this point onwards, Risk Meter detects the divergences. This helps filter a lot of noise in addition to Price and Oscillator Pivot detection under 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 section.

The user has to choose the length for the Trend based Stochastic plot by entering number of bars in Lᴏᴏᴋʙᴀᴄᴋ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box (Default value is 55). The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength, based on the trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and the required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ. This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. HIgher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.

===================================================================================================================


════ 𝟮. 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 %𝗕 ═════

Bollinger Bands %B in Risk Meter oscillates between -100 to +100 rather than 0 - 1 in the classic version, with oversold/overbought levels breaching the limits and the plot is exactly the same otherwise.

Risk Meter employs Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ for Bollinger Bands %B to let the user choose the threshold limit and only from this point onwards, Risk Meter detects the divergences. This helps filter a lot of noise in addition to Price and Oscillator Pivot detection under 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 section.

The user has to choose the Simple Moving Average (SMA) length for the plot by entering number of bars in BB SMA Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box (Default value is 20). There is no need for Standard Deviation as the fundamental plot is exactly the same, given that the plot oscillates between -100 to +100. The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength, based on the trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and the required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ. This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. HIgher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.

===================================================================================================================


══════ 𝟯. 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 ═══════

Volatility Risk Oscillator is an original ™TradeChartist model designed to visually see the Volatility risk for the security on any time frame.

To plot Volatility Risk for the security, the user has to enter the number of bars to detect volatility risk in Lᴏᴏᴋʙᴀᴄᴋ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box (Default Value is 55). The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength based on trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ. This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. HIgher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.

Even though Divergences work on Volatility Risk Oscillator, it is not employed as it produces far too many and there is no set Threshold limit that can be set to filter the divergences.

══════ 𝟰. 𝗥𝗦𝗜 𝗢𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 ═══════


There are two different types of RSI Oscillators in this section that can be plotted.

RSI Oscillator - Classic RSI modified to fit -100 to +100 scale rather than 0 - 100 scale. Risk Meter employs Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ for RSI Oscillator also, to let the user choose the threshold limit and only from this point onwards, Risk Meter detects the divergences. This helps filter a lot of noise in addition to Price and Oscillator Pivot detection under 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 section.


RSI Risk Oscillator - This oscillator plots the potential RSI risk based on RSI length (which can be changed in RSI Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ input box and main source price (Sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ). The user can also change the smoothing factor from default value of 5 by entering the value in Sᴍᴏᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ input box. Smoothing is particularly useful to detect the strength, based on the trend if 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 is enabled and the required trend length is entered in Tʀᴇɴᴅ Sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ Dᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ Lᴇɴɢᴛʜ. This feature splits the Risk Meter Plot into Bull and Bear zones based on the trend strength. Higher Smoothing with default trend strength detection of 5 (upto 10) works well for sensitive price hugging scalps/swings. For longer trends, higher detection lengths can be used.

To plot RSI Risk Oscillator, 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐒𝐈 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 must be enabled. Disabling this option plots normal RSI Oscillator.

The 4hr chart of BTC-USDT below shows use of RSI Risk Oscillator (Top) with RSI Oscillator (bottom).



===================================================================================================================


╔═══════ 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 ═══════╗

Risk Meter detects both Regular and Hidden Bullish and Bearish Divergences at every occurence. This can be filtered by the use of Dᴇᴄɪᴅᴇʀ Tʜʀᴇsʜᴏʟᴅ in above sections. To plot divergences, enable
𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, Sʜᴏᴡ Rᴇɢᴜʟᴀʀ Dɪᴠᴇʀɢᴇɴᴄᴇs and Sʜᴏᴡ Hɪᴅᴅᴇɴ Dɪᴠᴇʀɢᴇɴᴄᴇs. All divergences are enabled as default.

Users can further filter Divergences by entering the number of bars to the right in Rɪɢʜᴛ ʙᴀʀs ғᴏʀ Pɪᴠᴏᴛ Cᴏɴғɪʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ input box to confirm the Price Pivot (for Regular divergences) and Oscillator Pivot (for Hidden Divergences).

The example chart of 4hr BTC-USDT chart shows the Divergences filtered by use of RSI Threshold. It is important to note that the trend intensity colour on the plot and bars (if bar colour option is enabled) will help detect if the Divergence would hold.



===================================================================================================================


╔═══════ 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀 ═══════╗

Risk Meter offer two vibrant Colour Themes, namely Chilli and Flame, which can be opted from Rɪsᴋ Mᴇᴛᴇʀ Tʜᴇᴍᴇ dropdown. These themes also offer the option to plot the trend intensity on the price bars as bar colours by enabling Rɪsᴋ Mᴇᴛᴇʀ Cᴏʟᴏᴜʀ Bᴀʀs. Bar colors can also be inverted using Iɴᴠᴇʀᴛ Bᴀʀ Cᴏʟᴏᴜʀ option.

Users can also choose to use the Simple theme and choose preferred colours from Sɪᴍᴘʟᴇ Tʜᴇᴍᴇ ʙᴜʟʟ Cᴏʟᴏᴜʀ and Sɪᴍᴘʟᴇ Tʜᴇᴍᴇ ʙᴇᴀʀ Cᴏʟᴏᴜʀ colour input.


Note: The indicator does not repaint and can be confidently used for alerts and trade entries without worrying about plots disappearing after bar close.
