LogPressure Envelope [BOSWaves]LogPressure Envelope – Adaptive Volatility & Trend Visualizer
Overview
LogPressure Envelope is a specialized trading tool designed to normalize market behavior using logarithmic price scaling while providing an adaptive framework for volatility and trend detection. The indicator calculates a log-based moving average midline, surrounds it with asymmetric volatility envelopes, and replaces the conventional cloud with progressive fan lines to present price action in a more interpretable form.
By integrating rate-of-change midline coloring, fading trend strength, and structured buy/sell markers, LogPressure Envelope simplifies the reading of complex market dynamics. Its design makes it suitable for multiple trading approaches, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading, where volatility behavior and trend shifts must be understood quickly and objectively.
Unlike static envelope indicators, LogPressure Envelope adapts continuously to price scale and volatility conditions. It evaluates log-transformed prices, applies configurable moving average methods (EMA, SMA, WMA), and derives asymmetric standard-deviation bands for both upside and downside moves. These envelopes are projected as fan lines with adjustable opacity, producing a layered volatility map that evolves with the market.
This system ensures each visual element—midline shading, candle coloring, fan structure, and signal markers—reflects real-time market conditions, allowing traders to interpret volatility expansion, contraction, and directional bias with clarity.
How It Works
The foundation of LogPressure Envelope is the logarithmic transformation of price. By operating in log space, the indicator removes distortions caused by large nominal price differences across assets, enabling consistent analysis of both low-priced and high-priced instruments.
A moving average of log prices is calculated (EMA, SMA, or WMA depending on user input) and then re-converted to normal price scale, forming the log midline. Standard deviation of log prices is then measured over a separate period, with independent multipliers for upside and downside deviations. This asymmetry captures the fact that markets often expand differently in bullish versus bearish phases.
Instead of plotting a filled cloud, the envelope is expressed as ten equidistant fan lines stretching from the lower to upper boundary. Each line is shaded progressively to visualize volatility clustering and directional strength without overloading the chart.
Trend determination is smoothed using a fade mechanism: shifts in bias do not flip instantly but gradually move toward the new state, producing fewer false transitions. Buy and sell markers are generated when trend strength crosses confirmation thresholds, ensuring signals are event-driven and contextually meaningful.
Signals and Visuals
LogPressure Envelope provides multiple layers of structured signals:
Midline Bias – Central moving average colored by rate-of-change, reflecting directional acceleration or deceleration.
Volatility Fan – Ten progressive lines forming a gradient between lower and upper bands, visually encoding volatility spread.
Buy Signals – Labels below bars when upward trend strength is confirmed.
Sell Signals – Labels above bars when downward trend strength is confirmed.
Candle Coloring – Optional shading of candles based on trend alignment with the log midline, highlighting bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
These signals remain clear even during high-volatility phases, with visual hierarchy maintained through progressive opacity control.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : Midline direction and candle coloring provide continuous feedback on prevailing bias. Upward-sloping midlines with blue shading indicate bullish phases, while downward slopes with orange shading confirm bearish conditions.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : Expansion of fan lines indicates rising volatility and potential breakout conditions; contraction indicates consolidation and possible mean reversion.
Signal Confirmation : Buy and sell markers validate transitions when trend strength thresholds are crossed, aligning with volatility envelope dynamics.
Market Context : Asymmetric envelopes allow traders to see where bearish acceleration differs from bullish expansion, improving interpretation of liquidity conditions and institutional pressure.
Strategy Integration
LogPressure Envelope can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of midline bias, confirmed by buy or sell markers.
Pullback Entries : Use midline retests during trending conditions as lower-risk continuation points.
Volatility Breakouts : Identify sharp expansions in fan line spacing as early signals of directional moves.
Reversal Strategies : Fade extreme envelope touches when momentum shows exhaustion and fan contraction begins.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Align signals from higher and lower timeframes to reduce noise and validate trade setups.
Stop-loss levels can be set near the opposite envelope boundary, while targets may be managed through progressive volatility zones or midline convergence.
Advanced Techniques
For greater precision, LogPressure Envelope can be combined with other analytical tools:
Pair with volume or liquidity measures to validate breakout or reversal conditions.
Use momentum indicators to confirm ROC-based midline bias.
Track sequences of fan line expansions and contractions to anticipate regime shifts in volatility.
Apply across multiple timeframes to monitor how volatility clusters align at different market scales.
Adjusting parameters such as envelope multipliers, moving average type, and fade bars allows the indicator to adapt to diverse asset classes and volatility environments.
Inputs and Customization
Midline Type : Select EMA, SMA, or WMA.
Line Opacity : Control visibility of fan lines.
Enable Candle Coloring : Toggle trend-based bar shading.
MA Length / StdDev Length : Define periods for midline and volatility calculation.
Multipliers : Set asymmetric scaling for upside and downside envelopes.
Fade Bars : Control smoothness of trend strength transitions.
Fan Lines : Adjust number of envelope subdivisions for visualization granularity.
Why Use LogPressure Envelope
LogPressure Envelope translates complex volatility and trend interactions into a structured and adaptive framework. By combining logarithmic normalization, asymmetric standard deviation envelopes, and smoothed trend confirmation, it allows traders to:
Normalize price analysis across assets of different scales.
Visualize volatility expansion and contraction in real time.
Identify and confirm directional shifts with objective signal markers.
Apply a disciplined system for trend, breakout, and reversal strategies.
This indicator is designed for traders who want a systematic, visually clear approach to volatility-based market analysis without relying on static bands or arbitrary scaling.
Standardized Cumulative Deltas [LuxAlgo]The Standardized Cumulative Deltas tool allows traders to compare the cumulative standardized open-close difference for up to 10 different tickers, allowing them to visualize the general sentiment for all selected tickers.
These results allow the construction of two areas showing the average or extreme bullish and bearish cumulative change for all enabled tickers, providing a summarized view of the overall ticker group sentiment.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is meant to give a full picture of the individuals and/or overall selected tickers, and unlike classical indicators, the displayed series of values is not meant to be directly interpreted over time.
Given the selected lookback period, a majority of observations being above 0 indicate an overall bullish market for the asset.
By default, the auto lookback period feature is enabled, allowing the tool to use all the visible bars for its calculations. Traders can also set the lookback period manually. The above chart uses a fixed lookback period of 500.
Up to 10 tickers can be used. While major cryptocurrencies are set by default, the users can set a specific basket of assets, such as US equities, forex pairs, commodities, etc.
🔹 Densities
The provided areas, here called densities, can be used to get an overall sentiment of the selected tickers. The upper density (bullish) processes positive deltas, while the lower one (bearish) processes negative ones.
Interpretation is subject to the selected "Density Mode".
Average: Densities track the average bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. For example, a more prominent bullish density would indicate that, on average, cumulative deltas were positive across the tickers.
Envelope: Densities track the extreme values made by bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. Here, a more prominent density would indicate more volatile bullish/bearish movements, depending on the density.
🔹 Dashboard
The tool features a dashboard with active tickers and their respective colors for traders' convenience.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Densities
Densities are obtained by applying a forward-backward exponential moving average on the average, or the highest/lowest cumulative series, depending on the selected Density Mode.
The resulting densities are smoothed by the "Smoothing" parameter located in the Settings panel, with higher values returning smoother envelopes with less variability.
Do note that the smoothing method used here is subject to repainting.

Statistical FootprintStatistical Footprint - Behavioral Support & Resistance
This indicator identifies key price levels based on actual market behavior rather than traditional pivot calculations. It analyzes how bulls and bears have historically moved price from session opens, creating statistical zones where future reactions are most likely.
The concept is simple: track how far bullish candles typically push above the open versus how far bearish candles drop below it. These patterns reveal the market's behavioral "footprint" - showing where momentum typically stalls and reverses.
Key Features:
- Separate analysis for daily and weekly timeframes
- Smart zone merging when levels cluster together (within 5 points)
- Uses both mean and median calculations for more robust levels
- XGBoost-optimized lookback periods for maximum statistical significance
- Clean zone-only display focused on actionable price areas
How it Works:
The code separates bullish and bearish sessions, measuring their typical range extensions from the open. It then projects these statistical ranges forward from current session opens, creating "behavioral zones" where the market has historically shown consistent reactions.
When daily and weekly levels align closely, they merge into combined zones with enhanced significance. Labels show both the mean and median values when they differ meaningfully.
Best Used For:
- Identifying high-probability reversal zones
- Setting profit targets based on historical behavior
- Understanding market sentiment shifts at key levels
- Confluence analysis between different timeframes
The lookback periods have been optimized using machine learning to find the most predictive historical sample sizes for current market conditions.
Relative Strength Heat [InvestorUnknown]The Relative Strength Heat (RSH) indicator is a relative strength of an asset across multiple RSI periods through a dynamic heatmap and provides smoothed signals for overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to adjust RSI periods, smoothing methods, and visual settings to suit their trading strategies.
The RSH indicator is particularly useful for identifying momentum shifts and potential reversal points by aggregating RSI data across a range of periods. It presents this data in a visually intuitive heatmap, with color-coded bands indicating overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (gray) conditions. Additionally, it includes signal lines for overbought and oversold indices, which can be smoothed using RAW, SMA, or EMA methods, and a table displaying the current index values.
Features
Dynamic RSI Periods: Calculates RSI across 31 periods, starting from a user-defined base period and incrementing by a specified step.
Heatmap Visualization: Displays RSI strength as a color-coded heatmap, with red for overbought, green for oversold, and gray for neutral zones.
Customizable Smoothing: Offers RAW, SMA, or EMA smoothing for overbought and oversold signals.
Signal Lines: Plots scaled overbought (purple) and oversold (yellow) signal lines with a midline for reference.
Information Table: Displays real-time overbought and oversold index values in a table at the top-right of the chart.
User-Friendly Inputs: Allows customization of RSI source, period ranges, smoothing length, and colors.
How It Works
The RSH indicator aggregates RSI calculations across 31 periods, starting from the user-defined Starting Period and incrementing by the Period Increment. For each period, it computes the RSI and determines whether the asset is overbought (RSI > threshold_ob) or oversold (RSI < threshold_os). These states are stored in arrays (ob_array for overbought, os_array for oversold) and used to generate the following outputs:
Heatmap: The indicator plots 31 horizontal bands, each representing an RSI period. The color of each band is determined by the f_col function:
Red if the RSI for that period is overbought (>threshold_ob).
Green if the RSI is oversold (
ORB Breakouts with alerts"ORB Breakouts with Alerts" is a utility indicator that highlights an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) setup during a user-defined intraday time window. It allows traders to visualize price consolidation ranges and receive alerts when price breaks above or below the session high/low.
🔧 Features:
*Customizable session time (start and end), adjustable to local time using a timezone offset.
*Automatically plots:
*A shaded box around the session's high and low.
*Horizontal lines at session high and low levels.
*Optional "BUY"/"SELL" labels to mark breakout directions.
*Visual breakout signals when price crosses above or below the session range.
*Built-in alerts to notify when breakouts occur.
*Configurable styling options including box color, highlight color, and label placement.
⚙️ How It Works:
*During the defined time range, the script tracks the highest high and lowest low.
*After the session ends:
*A box is drawn to represent the opening range.
*Breakouts above the high or below the low trigger visual markers and optional alerts.
*Alerts are limited to one per direction per day to reduce noise.

BE-Volume Footprint & Pressure Candles█ Overview:
BE-Volume Footprint & Pressure Candles, is an indicator which is preliminarily designed to analyze the supply and demand patterns based on Rally Base Rally (RBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR) & Rally Base Drop (RBD) concepts in conjunction to volume pressure. Understanding these concepts are crucial. Let's break down why the "Base" is you Best friend in this context.
Commonness in RBR, DBD, DBR, RBD patterns ?
There is an impulse price movement at first, be it rally (price moving up) or the Drop (price moving down), followed by a period of consolidation which is referred as "BASE" and later with another impulse move of price (Rally or Drop).
Why is the Base Important
1. Market Balance: Base represents a balance between buyers and sellers. This is where decisions are made.
2. Confirmation: It confirms the strength of previous impulse move which has happened.
Base & the Liquidity Play:
Supply & Demand Zone predict the presence of all large orders within the limits of the Base Zone. Price is expected to return to the zone to fill the unfilled orders placed by large players.
For the price to move in the intended direction Liquidity plays the major role. hence indicator aims to help traders in identifying those zones where liquidity exists and the volume pressure helps in confirming that liquidity is making its play.
Bottom pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation of Buyers volume pressure (Green Line & the Green filled area) making the price move upwards vs Sellers volume pressure (Red Line & the Red filled area) making the price move downwards.
Top pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation on the pattern identification (Blue marked zone & the Blue line referred as Liquidity level)
Bullish Pressure On Buy Liquidity:
Bearish Pressure On Sell Liquidity:
█ How It Works:
1. Indicator computes technical & mathematical operations such as ATR, delta of Highs & Lows of the candle and Candle ranges to identify the patterns and marks the liquidity lines accordingly.
2. Indicator then waits for price to return to the liquidity levels and checks if Directional volume pressure to flow-in while the prices hover near the Liquidity zones.
3. Once the Volume pressure is evident, loop in to the ride.
█ When It wont Work:
When there no sufficient Liquidity or sustained Opposite volume pressure, trades are expected to fail.
█ Limitations:
Works only on the scripts which has volume info. Relays on LTF candles to determine intra-bar volumes. Hence, Use on TF greater than 1 min and lesser than 15 min.
█ Indicator Features:
1. StrictEntries: employs' tighter rules (rather most significant setups) on the directional volume pressure applied for the price to move. If unchecked, liberal rules applied on the directional volume pressure leading to more setups being identified.
2. Setup Confirmation period: Indicates Waiting period to analyze the directional volume pressure. Early (lesser wait period) is Risky and Late (longer wait period) is too late for the
ride. Find the quant based on the accuracy of the setup provided in the bottom right table.
3. Algo Enabled with Place Holders:
Indicator is equipped with algo alerts, supported with necessary placeholders to trade any instrument like stock, options etc.

ICT – Sweep + FVG + Displacement The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategy is a sophisticated trading philosophy rooted in institutional market behavior. It revolves around understanding how large players manipulate price to trigger retail stop-losses, create liquidity, and execute their orders. At its core, ICT focuses on market structure, identifying Higher Highs, Lower Lows, and shifts that signal potential reversals. Key concepts include Order Blocks—zones where institutions placed significant orders—and Fair Value Gaps (FVG), untraded areas that price tends to return to. The Liquidity Grab is a crucial phase: price sweeps through key levels to trap retail traders before reversing. Traders use higher timeframes (H4/H1) for structure analysis and lower ones (M15/M5) for precise entries. Entries occur after a Market Structure Shift, confirmed by FVG fill or OB retest, with strict risk management. A minimum 3:1 risk-reward ratio ensures long-term profitability. The strategy demands deep market awareness, patience, and discipline. It’s not about indicators, but about reading the "invisible hand" of the market—where supply and demand meet, and where smart money moves. For advanced traders, ICT offers a window into the true mechanics of price action, transforming trading from speculation into strategic insight. It’s not just a method—it’s a mindset.
Scalping, Swing Pro: Urban Towers + Bollinger(0.5)+ WMA by KidevThis indicator combines narrow Bollinger Bands (σ = 0.5) with a Weighted Moving Average (WMA-96) to provide traders with a reliable framework for identifying both short-term scalps and medium-term swing setups.
Bollinger Bands (0.5σ):
Traditional Bollinger Bands at 2σ cover ~95% of price movement, while 0.5σ bands narrow the focus to ~50% of price activity. This tighter structure makes them ideal for detecting volatility contractions, consolidations, and early breakout signals.
WMA-96 as Trend Reference:
The 96-period WMA acts as a slower, more stable directional guide. Unlike shorter WMAs, this longer setting filters noise and serves as a reference line for the dominant trend. Traders can use it as an anchor for intraday or swing positions.
Scalping & Swing Benefits:
Price holding above the WMA-96 while staying near the upper 0.5σ band often signals strength.
Contractions (squeezes) in the 0.5σ band followed by expansion frequently mark breakout zones.
Pullbacks toward the WMA-96 combined with band signals can act as re-entry or risk-defined trade areas.
This script provides a balanced view of momentum and stability — the 0.5σ bands reveal short-term volatility shifts, while the WMA-96 grounds the trader in the prevailing trend.
Dips & Rips — OVERLAY (Triangles on Price Only, size fixed)This script calculates extreme dips (blue triangle) or rips (yellow triangle) as likely reversal points, with confirmation long (green triangles) and short (red triangles) triggers occurring on subsequent RSI divergences.

Day Zero Fakeout Detector MTFDay Zero Template (Stacey Burke)
Definition:
“Day Zero” is essentially the setup day in Stacey Burke’s playbook.
It’s the day when the market creates a significant inflection — often forming a Peak Formation High (PFH) or Peak Formation Low (PFL).
It usually occurs after 3 days of directional movement (the classic 3-day cycle Stacey teaches).
Example:
Day 1: Breakout expansion.
Day 2: Continuation or consolidation.
Day 3: Exhaustion + reversal (forms PFH/PFL).
Day Zero: The day after this reversal template begins — where traders start looking for measured moves back inside the range.
👉 Day Zero = the transition day where the new weekly cycle (up or down) begins.
2️⃣ Peak Formation Highs (PFH) and Lows (PFL)
A PFH occurs when the market fails above prior highs (often with stop hunts/fakeouts).
A PFL occurs when the market fails below prior lows.
These PFHs/PFLs mark the anchor points for the next 3-day cycle.
Once identified, they become reference levels:
Above PFH → fade long traps (short bias).
Below PFL → fade short traps (long bias).
👉 This is where rectangles (Peter Brandt style) can come in handy to box in the PFH/PFL area.
3️⃣ Peter L. Brandt – Rectangles & Classical Charting
Peter Brandt’s approach (classical charting) complements Stacey’s playbook:
Rectangles are consolidation zones (value areas).
When a PFH or PFL forms, price often consolidates in a rectangle range.
A breakout from that rectangle confirms direction (continuation or reversal).
The measured move target is typically the height of the rectangle projected from the breakout point.
👉 Applied to Day Zero:
PFH/PFL = the extreme boundary of the rectangle.
A breakout from the rectangle in the opposite direction = confirmation of Day Zero reversal.
4️⃣ How They Fit Together
Stacey Burke: Focus on intraday cycles, 3-day cycle, Day Zero as the reset after PFH/PFL.
Peter Brandt: Focus on classical rectangle consolidation and breakout targets.
Integration:
Day Zero = when you’ve spotted a PFH or PFL and are preparing for the new cycle to begin.
Mark the PFH/PFL → draw a rectangle around the consolidation.
Wait for breakout/acceptance beyond rectangle → trade toward measured move (often aligning with Stacey’s Day 1/Day 2 directional bias).
✅ Example in practice:
Monday & Tuesday rally → Wednesday exhaustion → PFH forms.
Thursday = Day Zero (new short bias starting).
Rectangle consolidation forms under PFH.
Breakout below rectangle = signal.
Target = rectangle height measured down → often aligns with yesterday’s lows or prior session value area.
MTF Last Closed Highs & LowsThis indicator plots the most recent closed high and low levels from multiple timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.) directly on your chart. It helps traders quickly spot key support and resistance zones, track market structure across different timeframes, and identify breakout or reversal opportunities.
Whale Fractal Levels (V1.0)What it does
This indicator plots Fractal Levels (Bill Williams pivots) as horizontal lines and prints clean signals for:
BO+ / BO− → Breakouts through the latest fractal high/low
SW↑ / SW↓ → Liquidity sweeps (wick pierces, close rejects)
RE+ / RE− → Retests of the broken level after a confirmed breakout
Cyan = support (fractal lows).
Lilac = resistance (fractal highs).
How it works
Detects fractals with Left/Right = lr. A pivot is confirmed after lr bars on the right → the level itself doesn’t repaint.
Each confirmed fractal spawns a horizontal line extended to the right. You can limit how many lines stay on chart and auto-expire old ones.
Signals reference the most recent fractal high/low only and are edge-triggered (crossover/crossunder) with a cooldown so you don’t get a marker on every bar near the level.
A small state machine remembers the last breakout to validate the next retest.
Inputs (Settings)
Fractals
Left/Right (BW fractal) — Sensitivity of pivots (lower = more reactive, higher = cleaner).
MAX number of levels to display — Keep only the most recent N lines.
Level lifetime (bars) — Auto-delete lines after N bars to declutter.
Signals
Cooldown between signals (bars) — Minimum spacing between markers (anti-spam).
Show Breakouts (BO±) — Toggle breakout markers.
Show Sweeps (SW↑/SW↓) — Toggle sweep markers.
Show Retests (RE±) — Toggle retest markers.

LuxAlgo Swing Highs/Lows & Candle Patterns [edited by AlexsOptioThis script plots higher highs and lower lows as well as lower highs and higher lows.
This is an edited script created by LuxAlgo that allows you to turn off the lower highs and higher lows.
This makes it very easy to time your entry signals.
Entering into an up trending market after lower lows and entering into downtrending market after higher highs
You can also use HH and LL to time market tops and bottoms
I plan on adding the ability to draw the broadening formation & gauge the magnitude of where price is going in the near future
ForecastForecast (FC), indicator documentation
Type: Study, not a strategy
Primary timeframe: 1D chart, most plots and the on-chart table only render on daily bars
Inspiration: Robert Carver’s “forecast” concept from Advanced Futures Trading Strategies, using normalized, capped signals for comparability across markets
⸻
What the indicator does
FC builds a volatility-normalized momentum forecast for a chosen symbol, optionally versus a benchmark. It combines an EWMAC composite with a channel breakout composite, then caps the result to a common scale. You can run it in three data modes:
• Absolute: Forecast of the selected symbol
• Relative: Forecast of the ratio symbol / benchmark
• Combined: Average of Absolute and Relative
A compact table can summarize the current forecast, short-term direction on the forecast EMAs, correlation versus the benchmark, and ATR-scaled distances to common price EMAs.
⸻
PineScreener, relative-strength screening
This indicator is excellent for screening on relative strength in PineScreener, since the forecast is volatility-normalized and capped on a common scale.
Available PineScreener columns
PineScreener reads the plotted series. You will see at least these columns:
• FC, the capped forecast
• from EMA20, (price − EMA20) / ATR in ATR multiples
• from EMA50, (price − EMA50) / ATR in ATR multiples
• ATR, ATR as a percent of price
• Corr, weekly correlation with the chosen benchmark
Relative mode and Combined mode are recommended for cross-sectional screens. In Relative mode the calculation uses symbol / benchmark, so ensure the ratio ticker exists for your data source.
⸻
How it works, step by step
1. Volatility model
Compute exponentially weighted mean and variance of daily percent returns on D, annualize, optionally blend with a long lookback using 10y %, then convert to a price-scaled sigma.
2. EWMAC momentum, three legs
Daily legs: EMA(8) − EMA(32), EMA(16) − EMA(64), EMA(32) − EMA(128).
Divide by price-scaled sigma, multiply by leg scalars, cap to Cap = 20, average, then apply a small FDM factor.
3. Breakout momentum, three channels
Smoothed position inside 40, 80, and 160 day channels, each scaled, then averaged.
4. Composite forecast
Average the EWMAC composite and the breakout composite, then cap to ±20.
Relative mode runs the same logic on symbol / benchmark.
Combined mode averages Absolute and Relative composites.
5. Weekly correlation
Pearson correlation between weekly closes of the asset and the benchmark over a user-set length.
6. Direction overlay
Two EMAs on the forecast series plus optional green or red background by sign, and optional horizontal level shading around 0, ±5, ±10, ±15, ±20.
⸻
Plots
• FC, capped forecast on the daily chart
• 8-32 Abs, 8-32 Rel, single-leg EWMAC plus breakout view
• 8-32-128 Abs, 8-32-128 Rel, three-leg composite views
• from EMA20, from EMA50, (price − EMA) / ATR
• ATR, ATR as a percent of price
• Corr, weekly correlation with the benchmark
• Forecast EMA1 and EMA2, EMAs of the forecast with an optional fill
• Backgrounds and guide lines, optional sign-based background, optional 0, ±5, ±10, ±15, ±20 guides
Most plots and the table are gated by timeframe.isdaily. Set the chart to 1D to see them.

⸻
Reading the outputs
• Forecast > 0, bullish tilt; Forecast < 0, bearish or hedge tilt
• ±10 and ±20 indicate strength on a uniform scale
• EMA1 vs EMA2 on the forecast, EMA1 above EMA2 suggests improving momentum
• Table rows, label colored by sign, current forecast value plus a green or red dot for the forecast EMA cross, optional daily return percent, weekly correlation, and ATR-scaled EMA9, EMA20, EMA50 distances
⸻
Data handling, repainting, and performance
• Daily and weekly series are fetched with request.security().
• Calculations use closed bars, values can update until the bar closes.
• No lookahead, historical values do not repaint.
• Weekly correlation updates during the week, it finalizes on weekly close.
• On intraday charts most visuals are hidden by design.
⸻
Good practice and limitations
• This is a research indicator, not a trading system.
• The fixed Cap = 20 keeps a common scale, extreme moves will be clipped.
• Relative mode depends on the ratio symbol / benchmark, ensure both legs have data for your feed.
