Momentum Tide [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated momentum-based trend identification system that measures normalized price deviation from an EMA baseline using ATR scaling and hyperbolic tangent smoothing for precise trend state classification. Utilizing advanced signal processing with configurable neutral bands and slope sensitivity adjustments, this indicator delivers institutional-grade momentum analysis with continuous strength measurement and visual trend confirmation. The system's three-state classification (bullish, bearish, neutral) combined with dynamic color intensity scaling provides comprehensive market momentum assessment across varying volatility conditions.
🔶 Advanced Baseline Deviation Framework
Implements EMA-based baseline calculation with ATR-normalized deviation measurement to create volatility-adjusted momentum signals. The system calculates raw price deviation from the baseline, scales by ATR and slope sensitivity factor, then applies exponential smoothing for stable signal generation with reduced noise and false transitions.
// Core Momentum Calculation
Baseline = ta.ema(close, Baseline_Length)
ATR_Value = ta.atr(ATR_Length)
Raw_Deviation = (close - Baseline) / (ATR_Value * Slope_Scaler)
Signal = ta.ema(Raw_Deviation, Signal_Smoothing)
🔶 Hyperbolic Tangent Normalization Engine
Features sophisticated tanh transformation that clamps raw deviation signals into normalized -1 to +1 range for consistent interpretation across all market conditions. The system applies safe exponential calculations with value capping to prevent overflow while maintaining signal sensitivity, creating bounded momentum readings suitable for systematic threshold analysis.
// Tanh Normalization
Clamped_Signal = tanh(Signal) // Bounded to
Strength = abs(Clamped_Signal) // Momentum intensity
🔶 Three-State Classification System
Implements intelligent trend state determination using configurable neutral band thresholds to reduce whipsaw signals during ranging conditions. The system classifies market as bullish (+1) when momentum exceeds upper neutral band, bearish (-1) below lower neutral band, and neutral (0) within the band, providing clear directional bias with built-in consolidation recognition.
🔶 Dynamic Color Intensity Architecture
Provides advanced visual feedback through momentum strength-based color intensity modulation, where stronger trends display more opaque colors and weaker trends show increased transparency. The system dynamically adjusts color alpha values based on absolute momentum strength, creating intuitive visual representation of trend conviction across baseline, candles, and bars.
🔶 Trend Strength Meter Visualization
Features innovative horizontal gradient meter displaying real-time momentum position across bear-to-bull spectrum with 24-segment resolution. The system creates smooth color transitions from bearish red through neutral gray to bullish green, with arrow indicator showing precise momentum location for instant trend strength assessment without cluttering the price chart.
🔶 Intelligent Flip Detection System
Generates transition markers when trend state changes from neutral/bearish to bullish or neutral/bullish to bearish, with duplicate signal suppression to prevent marker clustering. The system tracks previous signal states and only plots new markers on genuine trend reversals, providing clean entry signal visualization for systematic trading approaches.
snapshot
🔶 Configurable Neutral Band Framework
Implements adjustable neutral zone width using ATR percentage parameters to optimize signal frequency for different trading styles and market conditions. Wider bands reduce flip frequency for position trading while tighter bands increase sensitivity for active trading strategies, enabling customization without code modification.
🔶 Slope Sensitivity Adjustment
Features slope scaler parameter that modulates ATR normalization factor, controlling signal smoothness versus responsiveness trade-off. Higher values create smoother momentum readings with fewer transitions while lower values increase snappiness for faster reaction to price changes, allowing optimization across different volatility regimes and timeframes.
🔶 Comprehensive Visual Integration
Provides multi-dimensional trend visualization through color-coded baseline overlay, momentum-synchronized candle coloring, and bar color modification with configurable display toggles. The system includes optional flip markers and strength meter with position control for complete chart integration without visual overload.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework

The system's combination of tanh normalization, configurable neutral bands, dynamic color intensity, and innovative strength meter makes it essential for traders seeking adaptive trend-following approaches with clear visual feedback across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The three-state system naturally filters ranging periods while the momentum strength measurement enables position sizing and confidence assessment for systematic trading strategies.
Reward-Risk Visual Zones (RRZ)Reward–Risk Visual Zones (RRZ) – Structure-Driven Risk Mapping Engine
Most indicators tell you when to trade.
RRZ is designed to answer a different question:
“Is this setup worth the risk before I take the trade?”
RRZ is not a mashup of unrelated indicators.
It is a 3-stage risk engine that builds a complete trade “story” around each swing:
1. Market structure pivot → defines the trade idea
2. ATR volatility unit → defines the risk size
3. Projected reward → compares reward vs that risk and filters bad setups
The output is a visual trade map : entry, target, stop, and R:R, printed directly on chart at each qualified swing.
1. Market Structure Layer – Where trades are anchored
RRZ doesn’t fire signals from MA/RSI crossovers.
It begins with s wing structure :
• Uses ta.pivotlow() and ta.pivothigh() with user-controlled left/right sensitivity:
• Pivot Sensitivity (L) controls how wide a swing must be to qualify as a structural pivot.
• Pivot Confirmation (R) controls how fast/slow a pivot is confirmed (1 = almost real-time, larger values = safer but later).
• A confirmed swing low becomes the candidate anchor for a long R:R zone.
• A confirmed swing high becomes the candidate anchor for a short R:R zone.
Each pivot is stored with its exact price and bar index , so the rest of the logic is always anchored to a real swing instead of a random candle.
2. Volatility Layer – Turning ATR into a “risk unit”
Once a pivot is confirmed, RRZ measures local volatility using ATR:
• ATR length is configurable via ATR Length.
• ATR is not used as a trailing stop or overlay.
In RRZ it plays one specific role:
“One ATR = one unit of structural risk from this swing.”
From that:
Long scenario:
• Entry = pivot low
• Stop = Entry − 1 × ATR
Short scenario:
• Entry = pivot high
• Stop = Entry + 1 × ATR
This standardizes risk across different volatility regimes:
a 2R move in a quiet market and a 2R move in a volatile market are both “2 × ATR” from the structure.
3. Reward Projection Layer – Evaluating if the trade is worth it
RRZ then estimates how far price can realistically travel away from the pivot, given recent behaviour:
For longs (from swing low):
• Projects reward using the highest high in a rolling lookahead window (e.g., last 20 bars).
• Reward = HighestHigh – PivotLow
• Risk = ATR
• R:R = Reward / ATR
For shorts (from swing high):
• Projects reward using the lowest low in the window.
• Reward = PivotHigh – LowestLow
• Risk = ATR
• R:R = Reward / ATR
The user can set a minimum R:R filter via Min R:R Threshold.
• If R:R ≥ threshold → zone is tagged as “ GOOD R:R ” and highlighted in green (long) or red (short).
• If R:R < threshold → optionally still shown as “ LOW R:R ” in orange (so you can visually see “tempting but not worth it” trades).
This transforms a raw pivot + ATR into a quantified decision:
“From this swing, volatility says my stop is 1× ATR. Do I even have 2× ATR of room in my favour?”
4. Execution Map – How components work together on chart
Instead of just printing numbers, RRZ builds a full execution template for every qualifying swing:
• Entry line at the pivot price
• Target line at the reward projection price
• Stop line at pivot ± ATR
• A structured label including:
• LONG / SHORT direction
• “GOOD R:R” or “LOW R:R”
• Numerical R:R (e.g., 2.3 : 1)
• Entry, Target, Stop, current Close
A Cooldown Bars parameter prevents overlapping spam:
• After an R:R zone is created (long or short), the script waits X bars before considering another zone in the same direction.
• This keeps charts readable and focuses attention on the most recent high-quality swings.
RRZ also includes line style controls (solid/dashed/dotted) and separate colours for entry, target, and stop, so traders can quickly read the chart even without opening settings.
5. How to Use RRZ in a Trading Plan
RRZ is not a magic “buy/sell” button.
It is designed to sit on top of your existing strategy as a risk filter.
Typical workflows:
SMC / price-action traders:
• Use your own logic for BOS/CHoCH, order blocks, or liquidity sweeps.
• Use RRZ only where structure aligns and the zone shows GOOD R:R ≥ 2.0.
• Avoid setups where RRZ marks LOW R:R even if the pattern looks good.
System traders / swing traders:
• Use RRZ to standardize risk across assets and timeframes.
• Filter out trades where potential reward does not justify the stop, based on current ATR.
Beginners:
• Learn to stop taking trades where the target is too close and the stop is too wide.
• Visually understand how structural swings and volatility interact.
RRZ works across Forex, Crypto, Indices, and Stocks on intraday and higher timeframes.
Once a pivot is confirmed and a zone is plotted, its lines and labels do not repaint.
⸻
6. Why this invite-only script is more than a basic mashup
RRZ does use classic building blocks (pivots, ATR), but the value is in the way they are stitched into a single risk framework:
• It doesn’t run multiple separate indicators on chart.
Everything is computed inside one engine with a single purpose: structure-based R:R evaluation.
• ATR is not just “slapped on” as a stop line; it is treated as the core risk unit in the R:R calculation pipeline.
• Every zone is a coherent trade idea: from swing, to risk unit, to projected reward, to filtered label, to execution lines.
• The script is designed specifically to help traders do the one thing that almost no free indicator prioritizes:
“Say NO to low R:R trades automatically.”
This is what distinguishes RRZ from generic ATR-stop scripts or simple pivot overlays.

Important
• No performance promises.
• No marketing claims (“guaranteed”, “high win rate”, etc.).
• Purely a risk mapping & visualization tool.
HTF BIAS FILTER🧭HTF Bias Filter Indicator: 5 in 1 indicator
Technical Overview
The Bias Filter is a comprehensive multi-timeframe tool designed to confirm directional bias using five key indicators before entering a trade. It plots higher-timeframe Moving Averages directly on the chart and provides an immediate status summary via a static dashboard.
The more confluence on the dashboard, the greater the probability of the direction of the trade.
1. 📊 Display Components
A. Plotted Lines
The indicator uses the request.security function to draw Moving Averages from higher timeframes onto your current chart:
1H EMA 21 (Purple): The 21-period Exponential Moving Average calculated on the 1-Hour (60 min) chart. Plotted using a step-line style.
4H EMA 50 (Red): The 50-period Exponential Moving Average calculated on the 4-Hour (240 min) chart. Plotted using a step-line style.
B. Directional Dashboard
A fixed-position summary table is anchored to the bottom-right corner of the chart, providing a quick glance at the current status of all five filters.
2. 🎨 Colour Logic
Each of the five indicators is assigned a colour based on its current directional signal. The more indicators that show the same colour (confluence), the stronger the signal and the higher the likelihood of a high-probability trade.
🟢 Green indicators are signaling UP/BUY (Bullish momentum or trend).
🔴 Red indicators are signaling DOWN/SELL (Bearish momentum or trend).
⚫ Gray indicators are signaling Mixed or flat directions (neutral or undecided).
Note: The dashboard's main header color is determined by a strict confluence logic (All four 4H filters must align for Green/Red), while individual indicator colors follow the simple rules above.
3. 📋 Indicator Breakdown and Logic
The dashboard provides the direction of five different filters.
3.1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Indicators
These two signals determine the immediate slope and direction of the primary Moving Averages:
4H EMA 50:
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Compares the current EMA value to the value two bars ago on the 4H chart.
Output: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT ⏸
1H EMA 21:
Timeframe: 1-Hour (60 min)
Logic: Compares the current EMA value to the value two bars ago on the 1H chart.
Output: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT ⏸
3.2. 4-Hour Confluence Filters
These three indicators provide supplementary confirmation on Volume, Price Position, and Momentum, all calculated on the 4-Hour (240 min) chart:
4H OBV (Smoothed):
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Direction is based on the current value of the 21-bar smoothed On-Balance Volume (OBV) compared to its value nine bars ago.
Output: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT ⏸
4H ATR DIR (EMA Proxy):
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Determines the price position by comparing the current Close price against the 4H EMA 50.
Output: BUY 🟢 (Close > EMA 50), SELL 🔴 (Close < EMA 50), or FLAT ⏸️ (Close = EMA 50).
4H RSI (14):
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Momentum check comparing the 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) value against the 50 level.
Output: BUY 🟢 (RSI > 50), SELL 🔴 (RSI < 50), or FLAT ⏸️ (RSI = 50).
Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DivergenceIntroduction
Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score Divergence is an oscillator that combines multiple momentum sources within a Z-Score framework, allowing for the detection of statistically significant mean-reversion setups, directional shifts, and divergence signals. It integrates a multi-source normalized oscillator, a slope-based signal engine, structured divergence logic, a slope-adaptive EMA with dynamic bands, and a modular bar coloring system. This script is designed to help traders identify statistically stretched conditions, evolving trend dynamics, and classical divergence behavior using a unified statistical approach.
Overview
At its core, this script calculates the Z-Score of three momentum sources—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and MACD—using a user-defined lookback period. These are averaged and smoothed to form the main oscillator line. This normalized oscillator reflects how far short-term momentum deviates from its mean, highlighting statistically extreme areas.
Signals are triggered when the oscillator reverses slope within defined inner zones, indicating a shift in direction while the signal remains in a statistically stretched state. These mean-reversion flips (referred to as TP signals) help identify turning points when price momentum begins to revert from extended zones.
In addition, the script includes a divergence detection engine that compares oscillator pivot points with price pivot points. It confirms regular bullish and bearish divergence by validating spacing between pivots and visualizes both the oscillator-side and chart-side divergences clearly.
A dynamic trend overlay system is included using a Slope Adaptive EMA (SA-EMA). This trend line becomes more responsive when Z-Score deviation increases, allowing the trend line to adapt to market conditions. It is paired with ATR-based bands that are slope-sensitive and selectively visible—offering context for dynamic support and resistance.
The script includes configurable bar coloring logic, allowing users to color candles based on oscillator slope, last confirmed divergence, or the most recent signal of any type. A full alert system is also built-in for key signals.
Originality
The script is based on the well-known concept of Z-Score valuation, which is a standard statistical method for identifying how far a signal deviates from its mean. This foundation—normalizing momentum values such as RSI or MACD to measure relative strength or weakness—is not unique to this script and is widely used in quantitative analysis.
What makes this implementation original is how it expands the Z-Score foundation into a fully featured, signal-producing system. First, it introduces a multi-source composite oscillator by combining three momentum inputs—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and MACD—into a unified Z-Score stream. Second, it builds on that stream with a directional slope logic that identifies turning points inside statistical zones.
The most distinctive additions are the layered features placed on top of this normalized oscillator:
A structured divergence detection engine that compares oscillator pivots with price pivots to validate regular bullish and bearish divergence using precise spacing and timing filters.
A fully integrated slope-adaptive EMA overlay, where the smoothing dynamically adjusts based on real-time Z-Score movement of RSI, allowing the trend line to become more reactive during high-momentum environments and slower during consolidation.
ATR-based dynamic bands that adapt to slope direction and offer real-time visual zones for support and resistance within trend structures.
These features are not typically found in standard Z-Score indicators and collectively provide a unique approach that bridges statistical normalization, structure detection, and adaptive trend modeling within one script.

Time-Decay Liquidity Zones [BackQuant]Time-Decay Liquidity Zones
A dynamic liquidity map that turns single-bar exhaustion events into fading, color-graded zones, so you can see where trapped traders and unfinished business still matter, and when those areas have finally stopped pulling price.
What this is
This indicator detects unusually strong impulsive moves into wicks, converts them into supply or demand “zones,” then lets those zones decay over time. Each zone carries a strength score that fades bar by bar. Zones that stop attracting or rejecting price are gradually de-emphasized and eventually removed, while the most relevant areas stay bright and obvious.
Instead of static rectangles that live forever, you get a living liquidity map where:
Zones are born from objective criteria: volatility, wick size, and optional volume spikes.
Zones “age” using a configurable decay factor and maximum lifetime.
Zone color and opacity reflect current relative strength on a unified clear → green → red gradient.
Zones freeze when broken, so you can distinguish “active reaction areas” from “historical levels that have already given way”.
Conceptual idea
Large wicks with strong volatility often mark areas where aggressive orders met hidden liquidity and got absorbed. Price may revisit these areas to test leftover interest or to relieve trapped positions. However, not every wick matters for long. As time passes and more bars print, the market “forgets” some areas.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones turns that idea into a rule-based system:
Find bars that likely reflect strong aggressive flows into liquidity.
Mark a zone around the wick using ATR-based thickness.
Assign a strength score of 1.0 at birth.
Each bar, reduce that score by a decay factor and remove zones that fall below a threshold or live too long.
Color all surviving zones from weak to strong using a single gradient scale and a visual legend.
How events are detected
Detection lives in the Event Detection group. The script combines range, wick size, and optional volume filters into simple rules.
Volatility filter
ATR Length — computes a rolling ATR over your chosen window. This is the volatility baseline.
Min range in ATRs — bar range (High–Low) must exceed this multiple of ATR for an event to be considered. This avoids tiny bars triggering zones.
Wick filters
For each bar, the script splits the candle into body and wicks:
Upper wick = High minus the max(Open, Close).
Lower wick = min(Open, Close) minus Low.
Then it tests:
Upper wick condition — upper wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Lower wick condition — lower wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Only bars with a sufficiently long wick relative to volatility qualify as candidate “liquidity events”.
Volume filter
Optionally, the script requires a volume spike:
Use volume filter — if enabled, volume must exceed a rolling volume SMA by a configurable multiplier.
Volume SMA length — period for the volume average.
Volume spike multiplier — how many times above the SMA current volume needs to be.
This lets you focus only on “heavy” tests of liquidity and ignore quiet bars.
Event types
Putting it together:
Upper event (potential supply / long liquidation, etc.)
Occurs when:
Upper wick is large in ATR terms.
Full bar range is large in ATR terms.
Volume is above the spike threshold (if enabled).
Lower event (potential demand / short liquidation, etc.)
Symmetric conditions using the lower wick.
How zones are constructed
Zone geometry lives in Zone Geometry .
When an event is detected, the script builds a rectangular box that anchors to the wick and extends in the appropriate direction by an ATR-based thickness.
For upper (supply-type) zones
Bottom of the zone = event bar high.
Top of the zone = event bar high + Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
The zone initially spans only the event bar on the x-axis, but is extended to the right as new bars appear while the zone is active.
For lower (demand-type) zones
Top of the zone = event bar low.
Bottom of the zone = event bar low − Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
Same extension logic: box starts on the event bar and grows rightward while alive.
The result is a band around the wick that scales with volatility. On high-ATR charts, zones are thicker. On calm charts, they are narrower and more precise.
Zone lifecycle, decay, and removal
All lifecycle logic is controlled by the Decay & Lifetime group.
Each zone carries:
Score — a floating-point “importance” measure, starting at 1.0 when created.
Direction — +1 for upper zones, −1 for lower zones.
Birth index — bar index at creation time.
Active flag — whether the zone is still considered unbroken and extendable.
1) Active vs broken
Each confirmed bar, the script checks:
For an upper zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves above the top of the zone.
For a lower zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves below the bottom of the zone.
When a zone breaks:
Its right edge is frozen at the previous bar (no further extension).
The zone remains on the chart, but is no longer updated by price interaction. It still decays in score until removal.
This lets you see where a major level was overrun, while naturally fading its influence over time.
2) Time decay
At each confirmed bar:
Score := Score × Score decay per bar .
A decay value close to 1.0 means very slow decay and long-lived zones.
Lower values (closer to 0.9) mean faster forgetting and more current-focused zones.
You are controlling how quickly the market “forgets” past events.
3) Age and score-based removal
Zones are removed when either:
Age in bars exceeds Max bars a zone can live .
This is a hard lifetime cap.
Score falls below Minimum score before removal .
This trims zones that have decayed into irrelevance even if their age is still within bounds.
When a zone is removed, its box is deleted and all associated state is freed to keep performance and visuals clean.
Unified gradient and color logic
Color control lives in Gradient & Color . The indicator uses a single continuous gradient for all zones, above and below price, so you can read strength at a glance without guessing what palette means what.
Base colors
You set:
Mid strength color (green) — used for mid-level strength zones and as the “anchor” in the gradient.
High strength color (red) — used for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — the maximum visual opacity for the solid part of the gradient. Lower values here mean more solid; higher values mean more transparent.
The script then defines three internal points:
Clear end — same as mid color, but with a high alpha (close to transparent).
Mid end — mid color at the strongest allowed opacity.
High end — high color at the strongest allowed opacity.
Strength normalization
Within each update:
The script finds the maximum score among all existing zones.
Each zone’s strength is computed as its score divided by this maximum.
Strength is clamped into .
This means a zone with strength 1.0 is currently the strongest zone on the chart. Other zones are colored relative to that.
Piecewise gradient
Color is assigned in two stages:
For strength between 0.0 and 0.5: interpolate from “clear” green to solid green.
Weak zones are barely visible, mid-strength zones appear as solid green.
For strength between 0.5 and 1.0: interpolate from solid green to solid red.
The strongest zones shift toward the red anchor, clearly separating them from everything else.
Strength scale legend
To make the gradient readable, the indicator draws a vertical legend on the right side of the chart:
About 15 cells from top (Strong) to bottom (Weak).
Each cell uses the same gradient function as the zones themselves.
Top cell is labeled “Strong”; bottom cell is labeled “Weak”.
This legend acts as a fixed reference so you can instantly map a zone’s color to its approximate strength rank.
What it plots
At a glance, the indicator produces:
Upper liquidity zones above price, built from large upper wick events.
Lower liquidity zones below price, built from large lower wick events.
All zones colored by relative strength using the same gradient.
Zones that freeze when price breaks them, then fade out via decay and removal.
A strength scale legend on the right to interpret the gradient.
There are no extra lines, labels, or clutter. The focus is the evolving structure of liquidity zones and their visual strength.
How to read the zones
Bright red / bright green zones
These are your current “major” liquidity areas. They have high scores relative to other zones and have not yet decayed. Expect meaningful reactions, absorption attempts, or spillover moves when price interacts with them.
Faded zones
Pale, nearly transparent zones are either old, decayed, or minor. They can still matter, but priority is lower. If these are in the middle of a long consolidation, they often become background noise.
Broken but still visible zones
Zones whose extension has stopped have been overrun by closing price. They show where a key level gave way. You can use them as context for regime shifts or failed attempts.
Absence of zones
A chart with few or no zones means that, under your current thresholds, there have not been strong enough liquidity events recently. Either tighten the filters or accept that recent price action has been relatively balanced.
Use cases
1) Intraday liquidity hunting
Run the indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 1–15 minute) with moderately fast decay.
Use the upper zones as potential sell reaction areas, the lower zones as potential buy reaction areas.
Combine with order flow, CVD, or footprint tools to see whether price is absorbing or rejecting at each zone.
2) Swing trading context
Increase ATR length and range/wick multipliers to focus only on major spikes.
Set slower decay and higher max lifetime so zones persist across multiple sessions.
Use these zones as swing inflection areas for larger setups, for example anticipating re-tests after breakouts.
3) Stop placement and invalidation
For longs, place invalidation beyond a decaying lower zone rather than in the middle of noise.
For shorts, place invalidation beyond strong upper zones.
If price closes through a strong zone and it freezes, treat that as additional evidence your prior bias may be wrong.
4) Identifying trapped flows
Upper zones formed after violent spikes up that quickly fail can mark trapped longs.
Lower zones formed after violent spikes down that quickly reverse can mark trapped shorts.
Watching how price behaves on the next touch of those zones can hint at whether those participants are being rescued or squeezed.
Settings overview
Event Detection
Use volume filter — enable or disable the volume spike requirement.
Volume SMA length — rolling window for average volume.
Volume spike multiplier — how aggressive the volume spike filter is.
ATR length — period for ATR, used in all size comparisons.
Min wick size in ATRs — minimum wick size threshold.
Min range in ATRs — minimum bar range threshold.
Zone Geometry
Zone thickness in ATRs — vertical size of each liquidity zone, scaled by ATR.
Decay & Lifetime
Score decay per bar — multiplicative decay factor for each zone score per bar.
Max bars a zone can live — hard cap on lifetime.
Minimum score before removal — score cut-off at which zones are deleted.
Gradient & Color
Mid strength color (green) — base color for mid-level zones and the lower half of the gradient.
High strength color (red) — target color for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — controls the most solid end of the gradient (0 = fully solid, 100 = fully invisible).
Tuning guidance
Fast, session-only liquidity
Shorter ATR length (e.g., 20–50).
Higher wick and range multipliers to focus only on extreme events.
Decay per bar closer to 0.95–0.98 and moderate max lifetime.
Volume filter enabled with a decent multiplier (e.g., 1.5–2.0).
Slow, structural zones
Longer ATR length (e.g., 100+).
Moderate wick and range thresholds.
Decay per bar very close to 1.0 for slow fading.
Higher max lifetime and slightly higher min score threshold so only very weak zones disappear.
Noisy, high-volatility instruments
Increase wick and range ATR multipliers to avoid over-triggering.
Consider enabling the volume filter with stronger settings.
Keep decay moderate to avoid the chart getting overloaded with old zones.
Notes
This is a structural and contextual tool, not a complete trading system. It does not account for transaction costs, execution slippage, or your specific strategy rules. Use it to:
Highlight where liquidity has recently been tested hard.
Rank these areas by decaying strength.
Guide your attention when layering in separate entry signals, risk management, and higher-timeframe context.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones is designed to keep your chart focused on where the market has most recently “cared” about price, and to gradually forget what no longer matters. Adjust the detection, geometry, decay, and gradient to fit your product and timeframe, and let the zones show you which parts of the tape still have unfinished business.

ICT Sigma Hybrid FVGThis indicator combines three analytical components—statistical volatility modeling, ICT imbalance logic, and higher-timeframe bias filtering—to help traders interpret displacement-driven price inefficiencies. The goal is to reduce noise and highlight only meaningful FVGs that occur with sufficient volatility and directional context.
Sigma Volatility Zones
The script calculates statistically normalized deviation levels using a multi-regime standard deviation blended with ATR.
This produces adaptive volatility zones that:
Expand during trending or high-volatility periods
Contract during consolidation
Highlight extremes more accurately than fixed standard deviations
These zones help users identify where price is operating in premium/discount relative to recent volatility.
Fair Value Gaps With Displacement Scoring
Every potential FVG is evaluated using a displacement score based on candle body expansion, wick displacement, and relative move efficiency. FVGs that do not exceed the minimum score are filtered out. This ensures the script only displays gaps associated with meaningful movement, not minor pricing noise.
Optional Higher-Timeframe Bias Filter
The HTF bias engine evaluates structure using selected higher-timeframe EMAs.
When enabled, the indicator:
Shows bullish FVGs only in bullish higher-timeframe conditions
Shows bearish FVGs only in bearish conditions
Hides counter-trend FVGs that may have lower reliability
Users may disable this to see all qualifying gaps regardless of bias.
ATR-Adaptive Volatility Conditioning
ATR is blended into the model so the displacement score and sigma zones adjust automatically to sudden volatility changes such as:
Major economic releases
Earnings
High-impact market events
Overnight volatility shifts
This helps maintain consistent FVG quality during rapidly changing conditions.
How to Use the Indicator:
Use sigma levels to understand whether price is extended or discounted relative to recent volatility.
Monitor FVGs that appear within or near sigma extremes to identify potential exhaustion or continuation zones.
Combine HTF bias with LTF displacement gaps to align intraday entries with broader directional flow.
ATR-adjusted scoring helps distinguish between meaningful inefficiencies and low-quality gaps.
Example 1 — Intraday Sigma Expansion & Displacement FVG Reaction
Figure 1. Price collapses from a 4.5σ extreme during a volatility expansion event.
Only high-impact FVGs are shown due to the displacement filter, removing low-quality gaps.
Sigma bands expand dynamically as volatility increases, illustrating how the model adapts automatically.
Example 2 — Higher-Timeframe Sigma Compression After a Major Trend Leg
Figure 2. After a large macro move, sigma levels compress tightly, forming a volatility cluster.
These HTF sigma zones later act as reaction levels during continuation.
This demonstrates why the model blends HTF sigma structure with LTF displacement gaps for alignment.
Recommended Settings
Standard deviation lookback: 100
ATR length: 50
ATR blend weight: 0.5
Minimum Z-score: 1.8
Sigma levels: 1.5 / 3 / 4.5
HTF bias: Daily (optional)
FVG displacement filter: On
Liquidity ThermometerThis is a universal indicator that assesses market liquidity based on five key market parameters: volume, volatility, candlestick range, body size, and price momentum.
The indicator does not use open interest data and is suitable for all markets, including spot, futures, and Forex.
This indicator normalizes each metric historically and creates a composite index between 0 and 1, where higher values correspond to a stable and calm market environment, and lower values indicate periods of increased risk and potential liquidity stress.
LT generates an integral liquidity index in the range based on five normalized components:
-nVol — normalized volume, reflecting trading density and activity.
-nATR — the volatility component (ATR), inverted, as high volatility is typically associated with declining liquidity.
-nRange — the normalized candlestick range, also inverted to assess the structural narrowness of the price movement.
-nBody — the normalized candlestick body size (|close − open|), inverted to assess the balance of supply and demand.
-nMove — the normalized value of the price impulse movement (|Δclose|), reflecting short-term price spikes.
Each metric is linearly normalized over a sliding window (200 bars) using the formula:
norm(x) = (x − min) / (max − min),
where at max = min, the value is fixed at 0.5 to ensure stability.
The ALT index is calculated as a weighted combination:
ALT = 0.35 nVol + 0.20 (1 − nATR) + 0.20 (1 − nRange) + 0.15 (1 − nBody) + 0.10 (1 − nMove)
The result is further smoothed using EMA(3) to reduce micronoise.
Red Zone (MLI < 0.25) — Risk, Thin Liquidity
When the indicator falls into the red zone, it means the market is extremely volatile:
Characteristics:
Low volume — small trades have a strong impact on the price.
High volatility — candlesticks rise or fall sharply.
Wide candlestick range — the market is "breathing heavily," easily breaking price extremes.
Impulsive movements — small market shocks lead to sharp spikes.
Thin liquidity — few orders in the order book, large orders "eat up" the market.
What this means for a trader:
🔥 High risk of spikes and false breakouts.
⚠ Possible series of liquidations on leverage.
❌ It is not recommended to enter long or short positions without a filter or protection.
✅ Can be used for short scalping strategies if you know the entry point, but very carefully.
Green Zone (MLI > 0.75) — High Liquidity, Safe Zone
When the indicator rises into the green zone, it means the market is stable and balanced:
Characteristics:
High volume — the market is deep, orders are executed without a strong impact on the price.
Low volatility — candlesticks are stable, no sharp spikes.
Narrow candlestick range — price moves calmly.
Weak impulse movements — no sharp surges.
Sufficient liquidity — the market can handle large orders.
What this means for a trader:
✅ Safe zone for opening positions.
🔄 Easier to set stop-loss and take-profit orders.
💡 You can trade both up and down, the risk of sharp movements is minimal.
⚡ Under these conditions, there is a lower risk of spikes and accidental liquidations.
It does not predict price movements or guarantee results. It is an analytical tool intended for additional research into market structure.
Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation

Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.
ATR or % Based Trailing Stop for Delta Exchange (trade_crush)This indicator calculates and visually displays a dynamic trailing stop line on the chart based on either the Average True Range (ATR) or a fixed percentage of the current close price. Designed especially for futures or crypto traders using Delta Exchange, it helps determine where to place trailing stop loss orders to manage risk effectively.
ATR Trend + RSI Pullback Strategy [Profit-Focused]This strategy is designed to catch high-probability pullbacks during strong trends using a combination of ATR-based volatility filters, RSI exhaustion levels, and a trend-following entry model.
Strategy Logic
Rather than relying on lagging crossovers, this model waits for RSI to dip into oversold zones (below 40) while price remains above a long-term EMA (default: 200). This setup captures pullbacks in strong uptrends, allowing traders to enter early in a move while controlling risk dynamically.
To avoid entries during low-volatility conditions or sideways price action, it applies a minimum ATR filter. The ATR also defines both the stop-loss and take-profit levels, allowing the model to adapt to changing market conditions.
Exit logic includes:
A take-profit at 3× the ATR distance
A stop-loss at 1.5× the ATR distance
An optional early exit if RSI crosses above 70, signaling overbought conditions
Technical Details
Trend Filter: 200 EMA – must be rising and price must be above it
Entry Signal: RSI dips below 40 during an uptrend
Volatility Filter: ATR must be above a user-defined minimum threshold
Stop-Loss: 1.5× ATR below entry price
Take-Profit: 3.0× ATR above entry price
Exit on Overbought: RSI > 70 (optional early exit)
Backtest Settings
Initial Capital: $10,000
Position Sizing: 5% of equity per trade
Slippage: 1 tick
Commission: 0.075% per trade
Trade Direction: Long only
Timeframes Tested: 15m, 1H, and 30m on trending assets like BTCUSD, NAS100, ETHUSD
This model is tuned for positive P&L across trending environments and volatile markets.

The system applies HL median filtering to the raw baseline for exceptional smoothing and outlier resistance, creating ultra-stable trend reference levels suitable for precise deviation measurement.
// Flexible Baseline MA System
ma(src, length, type) =>
if type == "EMA"
ta.ema(src, length)
else if type == "TEMA"
ema1 = ta.ema(src, length)
ema2 = ta.ema(ema1, length)
ema3 = ta.ema(ema2, length)
3 * ema1 - 3 * ema2 + ema3
// Baseline with HL Median Smoothing
Baseline_Raw = ma(src, MA_Length, MA_Type)
Baseline = hlMedian(Baseline_Raw, HL_Filter_Length)
🔶 ATR Normalization Engine
Features sophisticated ATR-based scaling methodology that normalizes price deviations relative to current volatility conditions, ensuring consistent oscillator readings across different market regimes. The system calculates ATR bands around the baseline and uses half the band width as the normalization factor for volatility-adjusted deviation measurement.
🔶 Dynamic Threshold Adaptation System
Implements intelligent threshold calculation using rolling window analysis of oscillator extremes with configurable smoothing and expansion parameters. The system identifies peak and trough levels over dynamic windows, applies EMA smoothing, and adds expansion factors to create adaptive overbought/oversold zones that adjust to changing market conditions.

Weekly Momentum Divergence StrategyWMDS: Weekly Momentum Divergence Strategy
WMDS (Weekly Momentum Divergence Strategy) is an advanced trading system designed to identify market trends based on the flawless convergence of **high-timeframe trend strength** and **short-term momentum**, moving beyond superficial indicators. Unlike conventional systems, WMDS allows the trader to filter out chart noise and focus solely on the most reliable trend transitions, which have been **quantitatively validated**.
----------------------------------------------------
I. CORE STRUCTURE AND KEY DIFFERENTIATORS
----------------------------------------------------
WMDS fundamentally differs from other systems by avoiding the simplistic 'single indicator' or 'basic crossover' approach. The strategy validates the robustness of every signal using a **5-Factor Scorecard System** based on 100 points before initiating a position.
A. Multitimeframe Convergence Filter
1. Weekly Trend Focus: The system utilizes price averages derived from weekly data to establish the core trend. This process filters out noise from lower timeframes, minimizing the risk of false signals (whipsaws) caused by momentary price fluctuations.
2. Five-Criteria Scoring: The reliability of a trade signal depends on the cumulative score of five distinct criteria: Momentum Strength, Directional Confluence, Trend Core, Short-Term Convergence, and Channel Oscillator Bias.
B. How WMDS Operates (Mechanism)
WMDS analyzes the five criteria upon the close of every bar and calculates an **Entry Score**. When the calculated Score exceeds the user-defined **Minimum Entry Threshold (Default: 70 Points)**, the system automatically generates and executes a Long or Short position.
C. Distinctions from Other Systems (In-Depth Comparison)
* **Adaptive Risk Management:** Unlike bots that use rigid percentage-based stop losses, WMDS's ATR-based SL automatically expands or contracts according to market volatility. This ensures the risk of every position is adapted to current market conditions, performing better across various market regimes (ranging/trending).
* **Advanced Filtering:** Where simple Moving Average (MA) crossover strategies can rapidly change trend direction, WMDS's Weekly DMI and Momentum filters mandate that entries are only made on durable and established trends.
* **Clean and Minimalist Visuals:** The chart only displays two average lines and the colored fill between them. This eliminates unnecessary arrows, text, and complex lines, significantly reducing the **cognitive load** on the investor.

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.

Adaptive Momentum Pressure (AMP)🔹 Adaptive Momentum Pressure (AMP)
A hybrid momentum oscillator that adapts to volatility and trend dynamics.
AMP measures the rate of change of price pressure and automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility.
It reacts faster in trending markets and smooths out noise during consolidation — helping traders identify genuine momentum shifts early while avoiding whipsaws.
🧠 Core Concept
AMP fuses three elements into one adaptive momentum model:
Normalized Momentum (ROC) – captures directional acceleration of price.
Adaptive Smoothing – the smoothing length dynamically contracts when volatility rises and expands when it falls.
Directional Bias – derived from the short-term EMA slope to weight momentum toward the prevailing trend.
Combined, these form a pressure value oscillating between –100 and +100, revealing when momentum expands or fades.
⚙️ How It Works
Calculates a normalized rate of change (ROC) relative to recent volatility.
Adjusts its effective length using the ATR — more volatile periods shorten the lookback for quicker reaction.
Applies a custom EMA that adapts in real time.
Modulates momentum by a normalized EMA slope (“trend bias”).
Produces a smoothed AMP line with a Signal line and crossover markers.
🔍 How to Read It
Green AMP line rising above Signal → Building bullish momentum.
Red AMP line falling below Signal → Fading or bearish momentum.
White Signal line = smoothed confirmation of trend energy.
Green dots = early bullish crossovers.
Red dots = early bearish crossovers.
Typical interpretations:
AMP crossing above 0 from below → early bullish impulse.
AMP peaking near +50–100 and curling down → potential momentum exhaustion.
Crosses below 0 with red pressure → bearish confirmation.
⚡ Advantages
✅ Adaptive across all markets and timeframes
✅ Built-in trend bias filters false signals
✅ Reacts earlier than RSI/MACD while reducing noise
✅ No manual retuning required
🧩 Suggested Use
Combine with structure or volume tools to confirm breakouts.
Works well as a momentum confirmation filter for entries/exits.
Optimal display: separate oscillator pane (not overlay).
Use it responsibly — AMP is an analytical tool, not financial advice.

Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred
Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations
Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time
Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions
⚠️ Important Considerations
Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty
Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously
High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning
Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries
Elastic Trend OscillatorThe Elastic Trend Oscillator (ETO) is a volatility-adaptive momentum indicator that measures price displacement from a trend baseline while accounting for market volatility conditions. Unlike traditional oscillators that use fixed scaling, ETO dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on current volatility levels relative to recent market conditions, providing context-aware momentum readings across different market regimes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
Volatility-Adaptive Scaling:
The core innovation of ETO is its dynamic volatility adjustment mechanism. The indicator calculates an ATR percentile rank over a lookback period and uses this to scale the momentum readings. When volatility is elevated, the indicator becomes less sensitive to price moves, recognizing that larger displacements are normal in volatile conditions. Conversely, in low volatility environments, smaller price moves are given more weight. This prevents false signals during volatility expansions and maintains sensitivity during quiet periods.
Low Volatility Compression:
During periods of extremely low volatility, the oscillator naturally compresses toward the midline and exhibits minimal movement. This midline-hugging behavior serves as a visual indicator that the market lacks directional energy and momentum readings are unreliable. Unlike indicators that continue oscillating during quiet periods and potentially generate false signals, ETO's compression around the midline is supposed to identify low-conviction environments where trend-following strategies underperform. When you see the oscillator stuck near 50 with little movement, recognize this as a consolidation phase where ranges dominate and breakout setups may be developing.
Trend Slope Analysis with Dynamic Thresholds:
The indicator monitors both the trend direction (EMA slope) and the rate of slope change. Dynamic thresholds based on ATR identify when trend acceleration is slowing. The oscillator becomes semi-transparent when slope deceleration exceeds the threshold, warning of potential trend exhaustion before actual reversals occur.
Relatively Linear Transformation:
Unlike many oscillators that use non-linear transformations, ETO applies a more linear scaling of the ATR-normalized displacement. This preserves the proportional relationship between price moves and oscillator readings, making divergences and momentum shifts more intuitive to interpret.
How to Use the Indicator
Trend Direction:
Green oscillator = Bullish trend (price above EMA with positive slope)
Red oscillator = Bearish trend (price below EMA with negative slope)
Oscillator compressed near 50 with minimal movement = Low volatility, consolidation phase. These phases often precede volatility expansions and significant directional moves, making them more ideal for monitoring breakout setups rather than taking positions.
Momentum Quality:
Solid color = Strong, accelerating trend
Semi-transparent = Decelerating trend, potential exhaustion, potential consolidation ahead
The transparency change acts as an early warning before actual trend reversals or consolidations.
Trading Signals:
Crossovers: When the oscillator crosses the signal line to the other side of momentum while oversold/overbought, it suggests potential reversals (better in combination with transparency loss).
Overbought/Oversold: Levels above 70 indicate overbought conditions; below 30 indicate oversold. These are not reversal signals themselves but identify extended moves where momentum may be extreme.
Midline: Oscillator above 50 indicates price is above the trend baseline with positive displacement. Below 50 indicates negative displacement.
Divergences: Like with other momentum indicators compare oscillator highs/lows with price highs/lows.
Settings
EMA Length: Controls the trend baseline period. Lower values make the indicator more responsive to short-term price changes; higher values focus on longer-term trends. This directly affects how quickly the oscillator responds to trend changes.
ATR Length: Determines the period for volatility measurement. This affects both the normalization of price displacement and the momentum confirmation filter. Lower values make volatility measurements more reactive; higher values provide smoother volatility assessment.
Oscillator Smoothing: Applies EMA smoothing to the raw oscillator values. A value of 1 shows unsmoothed, more volatile readings. Higher values produce smoother oscillations with less noise but more lag.
Signal Line Length: The EMA period for the signal line. Lower values create more frequent crossovers; higher values generate fewer but potentially more significant crossovers. This acts as a moving average of the oscillator itself.
Slope Change Sensitivity: Multiplier that sets how much slope deceleration triggers the transparency effect. Lower values make the indicator more sensitive to trend exhaustion, showing transparency earlier. Higher values require more pronounced deceleration before visual warning.
Overbought Level: Defines the upper extreme threshold.
Oversold Level: Defines the lower extreme threshold.
Best Practices
Use on any timeframe, but adjust EMA and ATR lengths according to your trading style (shorter for shorter term trades, longer for longer term trading like swing trading)
Combine with price action — the indicator identifies momentum conditions, not specific entry/exit points.
In strongly trending markets, the oscillator may remain in overbought/oversold territory for extended periods—this is normal and indicates persistent momentum rather than imminent reversal.
This indicator does not provide investment or trading advice. All trading decisions should be made based on your own analysis and risk management.
