Rate of Change Candle Standardized (ROCCS)ROCCS is a standardized rate of change oscillator with "error bars". Rate of change helps traders gauge momentum in a market by comparing the current price with the price "n" periods ago. What makes this special is you get to see the momentum of the momentum via the candle view. The candle transformation utilizes a moving average to smooth the signal however this is only used for the close price. The high and low prices are not smoothed. The moving average has an adjustable period, and so does the standardization.
I hope you can find great use in this upgraded roc indicator.
M-oscillator
Symbol Comparison MACDHow is this different?
This indicator will calculate a MACD between two symbols chosen. As the two symbols price difference grows or shrinks this indicator plots same as MACD and crosses should indicate interesting things with the right symbol selection.
How to use this?
Simply choose a second symbol for comparison or choose two if main chart symbol isn't needed for comparison, the rest of the settings are quite standard to MACD/PPO settings though 14 period signal seems to align better with my intentions.
Which market is it meant for?
Any market, enjoy creating unique combinations and comment any interesting discoveries. I recommend market internals.
What market conditions does this apply to?
Any condition.
Crypto Tipster v2---------------------
Crypto Tipster v2
Hello again! We're back with a drastically improved Crypto Tipster v2 Indicator using over a dozen all new algorithms based around Technical Analysis, Price Action, Momentum Swings and Reversal Detection.
We've taken our time with version 2 of Crypto Tipster, putting all our best practices to work and ensuring it performs superbly across numerous crypto markets and timeframes - we have focused our efforts towards the larger timeframes, 12H, 1D, 2D for example as we believe these to be the most consistent and predictable, and therefore the most profitable.
Trading on longer timeframes also reduces the overal cost of trading fee's as you'll be placing fewer trades over any given time period, whilst catching bigger swings and therefore earning a higher percentage per winning trade. Due to these bigger price swings you can de-leverage your trades too, making them inherintly safer and more controlled.
The final benefit to placing trades on longer timeframes is that you will not be tied down to your PC or laptop for hours on end waiting for a perfect entry or exit point, which increases the odds of placing bad/panic trades or even placing trades due to boredom! If you trade with Crypto Tipster v2 on a 1D timeframe, you will only ever have work to do once per day, at bar close; this is when trades are placed or exited, or stop losses/take profits are updated to new levels - easy!
Crypto Tipster v2 can help consistently catch tops and bottoms of trending markets whilst avoiding placing trades through choppy or ranging areas, this helps to not only maximise profits (what we're all after!) but also to minimise losses (equally important). We've tirelessly tested Crypto Tipster using literally thousands of variables across dozens of built-in algorithms over hundreds of trading pairs - lots of data to process!
The outcome is rather stunning and well worth checking out - we're rather proud of what we've achieved here, and we're pretty sure you're going to love it too!
---------------------
What's Included
- Chart Settings
The first section you'll come across, Chart Settings.
Here you'll find a few options regarding how your chosen market chart will look within TradingView and how Crypto Tipster will interact with this chart.
One of the most important Tick boxes is first on the list - "Show Backtest Results". This will change Crypto Tipster from displaying simple but easy-to-follow "Buy/Sell" labels into Strategy mode in which you can set up more complicated Stop Loss / Take profit settings as well as setting up Alerts for auto trading and other more complex functions (see How It Works for more info!
We've also included a "Trend Strength Bar Color" tick box which changes the color of the chart bars based on how strong Crypto Tipster is perceiving the current trend and in which direction.
- Trend Settings
"Trading Frequency" represents how often Crypto Tipster will be looking for a new trend / change in trend direction, and therefore how often it will be placing trades. By default this is set to "Normal" but can be changed to "Rapid" using the drop down menu.
"Entry Trend Strength" also determines how frequently trades are placed by selecting the strength of trend required before a trade is placed. The scale ranges from "1-5", with 1 being a low trend strength required, 5 being a very strong trend strength required.
Within the Trend Settings section you'll also find an "Avg Trend Strength over Bars" option. This allows you to average (mean) the current trend strength over a pre-determined amount (1-5) of previous chart bars - thus providing a potentially more consistent signal.
- Trade Settings
Trade Settings help Crypto Tipster determine what type of trades you're looking to place.
The overall "Trade Direction" will decide to either target only Long trades, only Short trades, or Both (default).
"Consecutive Trades in Same Direction" allows for pyramiding - whereby you can specify to allow for multiple trades of the same direction. Set to "1" as default allows for no extra pyramiding, max setting of "10".
- Trade Protection
Currently consisting of two functions, our Trade Protection section can help to achieve both the removal of false signals (whipsaws), and the extension of good trades without confusion during minor retracements.
"Chop Removal" can help to remove some whipsaw trades during ranging market conditions, therefore improving overal profitability by only targeting stronger trends. You have an option to choose from either "Weak" or "Strong" Chop Removal.
"Protection Filter" uses current trading criteria as defined by you, and uses it to check against a higher time frame than you're currently viewing. This can help to eliminate some bad trades at the expense of a potential lag on good trades.
- Stop Loss / Take Profit
Stop Losses should be a crucial aspect of everyone's trading system. They help prevent any trade from going too far in the wrong direction and limit losses.
Our "Stop Loss (%)" is quick and easy to set up, simply set the percentage offset from the entry price of trades and a fixed Stop Loss will be in place on all trades.
"Take Profit (%)" works in the same way as the Stop Loss mentioned above - simply set the percentage you'd like to exit a profitable trade at.
The "Trailing Stop (%)" is a little more complicated in that it will follow the trend of the trade a certain percentage away from the current market price - this is great for keeping yourself in a trade for as long as the trade is moving in the right direction.
- Extra Tools & Indicators
This is the section of Crypto Tipster that enables you to add some chart visuals to assist you with your preferred trading style.
"Potential Pivot Points" are not the same as actual pivot points - Potential pivot points will paint on the chart at bar close, giving you an immediate alert to potential tops/bottoms of market trends. You can choose to display only the strongest potential points, or include some of the weaker signals too.
"Actual Pivot Points" are inherintly more accurate than Potential pivot points, but do not paint on the chart until after a pre-determined amount of time has passed. These are great for placing stop losses/take profits or watching the market for breakouts or reversals.
"Support/Resistance Levels" plots up to 6 support and resistance horizontal lines based on recent price tops/bottoms. Use these to determine areas where price could rebound or break-through.
"Bollinger Band Breakout" - Bollinger bands are a tried and tested technical analysis tool, similar to pivot points and support/resistance lines, thee are another great tool to determine where price may retrace, consolidate or breakout.
- Ichimoku Cloud
Somewhat confusing and intimidating when you first come across this technical analysis indicator, the "Ichimoku Cloud" is one of our favorites. Assisting with the detection of Dynamic Support and Resistance levels, Momentum and Trend Direction all in one super indicator.
Although certain aspects of the Ichimoku Cloud are already present within Crypto Tipster v2 algorithms in order to offer you the best possible signals, we've also included a user-definable section of it's own so you can manually set up and use the cloud for your own trading needs, all cloud signals (and there are many) are available to set up as Alerts for your own needs or an Auto-Trading Bot.
- Custom Alerts for Any Signal
We've endeavoured to ensure that all signals, not just the Buy/Sell signals, are ready and available to create Alerts with; giving you the most opportunity to create a fully custom trading engine that suits your exact trading requirements.
This means you can set Alerts for any and all signals you can see on the chart when using Crypto Tipster v2, this includes Buy/Sell Signals, Trend Strength Signals, Choppy Market Signals, Stop Loss/Take Profit Signals, Pivot Points, S/R levels crossed above & below, Bollinger Band Breakout and several Ichimoku Cloud Signals.. the list goes on!
---------------------
We've tried to make Crypto Tipster as comprehensive and easy to understand as possible, we are however always in search of progression; we do really love to hear your feedback :)

Normalized CCI Divergence StrategyStrategy Overview:
This script takes the Commodity Channel Index and normalizes the equation to be read easier by the user. Bullish, Bearish, Hidden Bullish, and Hidden Bearish divergences are identified and displayed in the underlay. Hidden Bullish and Hidden Bearish are turned off by default, but can be turned on in the user settings. The strategy itself signals long or short based on the appearance of these divergences in addition to previous CCI values being above or below a threshold. *Shorter timeframes such as 5M are recommended.* Take profit, stop loss, and trailing percentages are also included, found at the bottom of the Input tab under “TT and TTP” as well as “Stop Loss”. Make sure to understand the TP/SL ratio that you desire before use, as the desired hit rate/profitability percentage will be affected accordingly. This strategy does NOT guarantee future returns. Apply caution in trading regardless of discretionary or algorithmic. Understand the concepts of risk/reward and the intricacies of each strategy choice before utilizing them in your personal trading.
Profitview Settings
If you wish to utilize Profitview’s automation system, find the included “Profitview Settings” under the Input tab of the strategy settings menu. If not, skip this section entirely as it can be left blank. Options will be “OPEN LONG TITLE”, “OPEN SHORT TITLE”, “CLOSE LONG TITLE”, and “CLOSE SHORT TITLE”. If you wished to trade SOL, for example, you would put “SOL LONG”, “SOL SHORT”, “SOL CLOSE LONG”, and “SOL CLOSE SHORT” in these areas. Within your Profitview extension, ensure that your Alerts all match these titles. To set an alert for use with Profitview, go to the “Alerts” tab in TradingView, then create an alert. Make sure that your desired asset and timeframe are currently displayed on your screen when creating the alert. Under the “Condition” option of the alert, select the strategy, then select the expiration time. If using TradingView Premium, this can be open-ended. Otherwise, select your desired expiration time and date. This can be updated whenever desired to ensure the strategy does not expire. Under “Alert actions”, nothing necessarily needs to be selected unless so desired. Leave the “Alert name” option empty. For the “Message”, delete the generated message and replace it with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} and nothing else.
TASC 2022.12 Short-Term Continuation And Reversal Signals█ OVERVIEW
TASC's December 2022 edition Traders' Tips includes an article by Barbara Star titled "Short-Term Continuation And Reversal Signals". This is the code that implements the concepts presented in this publication.
█ CONCEPTS
The article takes two classic indicators, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and the Directional Movement Indicator (DMI), makes changes to the traditional ways of visualizing their readings, and uses them together to generate potential signals. The author first discusses the benefits of converting the DMI indicator to an oscillator format by subtracting the −DI from the +DI, which is then displayed as a histogram. Next, the author shows how the use of an on-chart visual framework (i.e., choosing the line style and color, coloring price bars, etc.) can help traders interpret the signals produced the considered pair of indicators.
█ CALCULATIONS
The article offers the following signals based on the readings of the DMI and CCI pair, suitable for several types of trades:
• Short-term trend change signals:
A DMI oscillator above zero indicates that prices are in an uptrend. A DMI oscillator below the zero line and falling means that selling pressure is dominating and price is trending down. The sign of the DMI oscillator is indicated by the color of the price bars (which correlates with the color of the DMI histogram). Namely, green, red and grey price bars correspond to the DMI oscillator above, below and equal to zero . Colored price bars and the DMI oscillator make it easy for trend traders to recognize changes in short-term trends.
• Trend continuation signals:
Blue circles appear near the bottom of the oscillator chart border when the DMI is above the zero line and the price is above its simple moving average in an uptrend . Dark red circles appear near the top of the chart in a downtrend when the DMI oscillator is below its zero line and below the 18-period moving average. Trend continuation signals are useful for those looking to add to existing positions, as well as for traders waiting for a pullback after a trend has started.
• Reversal signals:
The CCI signals a reversal to the downside when it breaks out of its +100 and then returns at some point, crossing below the +100 level. This is indicated by a magenta-colored diamond shape near the top the chart. The CCI signals a reversal to the upside when it moves below its −100 level and then at some point comes back to cross above the −100 level. This is indicated by a yellow diamond near the bottom of the chart. Reversal signals offer short-term rallies for countertrend traders as well as for swing traders looking for longer-term moves using the interplay between continuation and reversal signals.
Distance Bands Oscillator_KT █ OVERVIEW
This tool is based on both Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, and measures 3 distances between the two, respectively.
Upper Kelt to Upper Bollinger Band
Lower Kelt to Lower Bollinger Band
Kelt Basis to Bollinger Basis Basis
Similar to the Band Width indicator, this can be used as a measure of volatility, and can be used to measure uptrend, downtrend and chop regions on a given chart.

Adaptive Fisherized Trend Intensity Index Introduction
Here, I modified the script "Trend Intensity Index" (TII) of @everyget.
TTI was developed by M.H. Pee, who also published other trend analysis indicators like the Trend Trigger/Continuation Factor
It helps to determine how strong the current trend is.
The stronger the trend, the higher the chance the price may continue moving in the current direction.
Features
Adaptive mode (based on Ehlers dominant cycle determination) => automatically determines the length
Inverse Fisher Transform => gives sharper signals
Customizable MA Types => discover the impact of different ma bases
Hann Window and NET smoothing => state-of-the-art smoothing
Trend Visualization => shows you the up/down/side trend
Usage
This indicator here offers a perfect trend filtering system. It is capable of up/down/side trend detection.
There are a lot of trend indicators which don't respect sidetrends, which makes this indicator pretty useful.
A lot of traders use trend-following trading systems.
A trader will usually make his/her entry in the market during a strong trend and ride it, until the TII provides an indication of a reversal.
For mean-revertive trading systems, you could use TII to just trade in side trend.
A lot of mean-revertive signal emitters like Bollinger Bands or RSI work most of the times better in side trend.
Furthermore, every timeframe could be used, but higher timeframes have more impact because trends are stronger there.
Signals
Green zone (Top) => Etablished bullish trend
"Peachy" Zone (Middle) => Sidetrend/flat market
Red Zone (Bottom) => Etablished bearish trend
Enjoy guys!

FFT Strategy Bi-Directional Stop/Profit/Trailing + VMA + AroonThis strategy uses the Fast Fourier Transform inspired from the source code of @tbiktag for the Fast Fourier Transform & @lazybear for the VMA filter.
If you are not familiar with the Fast Fourier transform it is a variation of the Discrete Fourier Transform. Veritasium on youtube has a great video on it with a follow up recommendation from 3brown1blue. In short it will extract all the frequencies from a set of data. @tbiktag laid the groundwork for creating the indicator which will allow you to isolate only those signals which are the most relevant and remove the noise. I recommend having @tbiktag's FFT Transform indicator side by side with this to understand what my variation is doing by setting similar settings .
Using this idea, you can then optimize a strategy to the frequencies that are best. The main entry signal is when the FFT Signal crosses above or below the 0 line .
Included with this strategy is the ability to optionally bi-directionally set:
Stop Loss
Trailing Stop Loss
Take Profit
Trailing Take Profit
Entries are optionally further filtered by use of the VMA using the algorithm from LazyBear which allows you to adjust a variable moving average with 3 market trend detections. Green represents upwards momentum; Blue sideways trading and Red downwards momentum. The idea being to filter out buy or sell entries unless the market is moving in that direction, and this makes a big difference as you can see for yourself when you turn it off or on. Turning it off will change the color of the FFT signal to orange instead of the green, blue, red colors .
I have added 2 custom stop loss types as well for experimentation:
1. VMA Filter stop loss to exit the trade if the VMA detects a market trend direction change matching the rules you have set. I have set this to off by default, but it is there so you can see what affect it may have on other tickers. It can increase the profit factor but usually at a cost of net profit.
2. The Aroon Filter stop loss with different lengths for the short or long direction. For the Aroon strategy (which is a trend change detector) it is considered bullish if the upper line (green in my code) is above 70 and the lower line (red in my code) is below 30 and the opposite for the bearish case. With this in mind, I have set it to filter by default only the extreme ends (99 and 1) to increase profit factor and net profit but I encourage you to try different settings and see how it affects things. Turning this off yields much higher net profit but at the cost of the profit factor and drawdown . To disable this just uncheck the 'Use Aroon Filter Long' (or short) and it will also hide the aroon graphics and crosses on the plot.
I will be adding more features in an attempt to lower the drawdown on this strategy but I hope you enjoy what I have so far!
Adaptive Fisherized CMFIntroduction
Heyo, here I made a normalized Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator with Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT) and some smoothing techniques.
I had to normalize the indicator in order to fit it to the IFT range (-1 -> 1).
Moreover, the good old adaptive mode is also included in this indicator. It uses Ehlers superb dominant cycle techniques.
It also has divergence detection, several options for individualisation and doesn't repaint.
Usage
www.investopedia.com
Signals
CMF above 0 => bullish market
CMF below 0 => bearish market
(You can also use the inner bands instead of the zero line, to make these signals more precise)
Bullish regular/hidden divergence => long
Bearish regular/hidden divergence => short
Enjoy guys!
PS: I really would like to hear some feedback of you.
Divergence Finder [Multigrain]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator is a divergence finder, designed to be overlayed on top of any oscillator. By utilizing an Exponential Moving Average, rather than built-in pivot functions, this allows for insignificant pivots of the oscillator to be filtered out. Additionally, by sampling more than just the previous oscillator pivot, this allows for divergences to be found that would otherwise be overlooked through other methods.
█ CONCEPTS
Interim Price Threshold
A new metric used when determining valid divergences is the Interim Price Threshold (IPT). The IPT is the maximum percent delta the price is allowed to "poke-through" the divergent line at any given time.
Interim Oscillator Threshold
Similar to the Interim Price Threshold, the Interim Oscillator Threshold (IOT) is the maximum percent delta the oscillator is allowed to "poke-through" the divergent line at any given time.
Dynamic Midline
Commonly a static midline is utilized when determining whether a divergence may be bullish or bearish. By utilizing the built-in percentile nearest rank function, the midline is automatically and dynamically determined based on the previous 250 bars. As a result certain divergences which may otherwise be overlooked will be discovered.
█ SETTINGS
Oscillator Source: The oscillator in which you want find divergences from. Default to a MACD oscillator when unchanged.
Price Source: The price source in which you want to find divergences from.
Moving Average Length: The length of the exponential moving average used when determining the pivot points of the selected oscillator.
█ USAGES
Divergence in technical analysis can indicate a significant bullish or bearish price move. A bullish divergence occurs when an asset's price makes a new low while an indicator begins to rise. A bearish divergence occurs when the price makes a new high but the indicator under consideration makes a lower high.
Stochastic Smooth Relative Strength Index (SSRSI)This is Stochastic RSI but it uses smoothed RSI instead. You use it the same as any other Stochastic RSI :)
The features in this scripts are: RSI Length, Extra Smoothing, Extra Smooth RSI Filter, Stochastic Length, and K and D.
I hope you find this release useful!
The Stochastic RSI indicator ( Stoch RSI ) is essentially an indicator of an indicator. It is used in technical analysis to provide a stochastic calculation to the RSI indicator. This means that it is a measure of RSI relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time. The Stochastic RSI is an oscillator that calculates a value between 0 and 1 which is then plotted as a line. This indicator is primarily used for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
Stochastic Moving Average Delta Oscillator (SMADO)This is an interesting take on the stochastic oscillator. What I have done here is I've taken the cumulative sum of the deltas of all the simple moving averages from 1 to 200 and summed them. Next I transform this into a stochastic oscillator with ta.stoch. The point of this is to show you trends, tops and bottoms. I hope you find this indicator as interesting as I did. Please enjoy!
The Feature include: Stochastic Window, Number of MA's to check, General Smoothing, and Direction Indication.
Divergence Backtester - V2Further attempts to study divergence impact on price in shorter terms.
Previous study can be found here:
In this script, we are trying to gather the stats based on last two pivot state together. For example, Individual table of Pivot High Projection is as explained below:
But, by looking at the bigger picture, we can further estimate following things regarding the current unconfirmed pivot and the new pivot which is yet to be formed.
Sine Wave TheoryThere are some ideas out there that the market is like a collection of quantum events and that it could all be broken down into sine waves. I created this script to put that to the test.
The idea is simple, I tested 3 different factors that could be put into sine wave form.
1.) Bar Change
2.) Volume Average Change
3.) Coin Flip
For the bar change, I simply allow the sine wave to move upwards or downwards if the bars have changed color in their sequence. For example, if there were 3 red bars and 1 green bar, it would not move the sine wave up or down until the green bar appeared.
For the average volume change, it was the same idea, except that the sine wave could only move up or down if the volume had moved up or below the average value of the length given for calculating the average volume.
Finally, the coin flip simply simulates flipping a coin, and allows the sine wave to move one direction or the other once it has a side that is different from the previous chosen side. For example, heads, heads, heads, tails (once it flipped to tails, this would allow it to move a direction).
The sine wave trading theory that I watched claimed that if you know the correct sine wave # (which is how large the peak is, and/or the sine wave count which is how many peaks and valleys occur) that you can successfully predict future trades. Their claims that the reason it does not look like a perfect sine wave for these events is because there is different amounts of trading going on, thus the timing will be slightly off.
I am posting this to disagree with their ideas. For example, if you select to turn on trading for coin flip and turn off bar change, you will see the coin flip did better on the default settings!
It just so happens that any setting will eventually be good, making all the sine wave variations just completely random if you win or not.
I posted this to demonstrate how silly trading sine waves is. The real trick is using cosine and tangent waves... lol j/k
I hope this helps someone avoid this scam concept.
Public Sentiment Oscillator This is a combination of 9 common use indicators turned into on single oscillator. These indicators are: 200 day moving average cross, 9/12 ema cross, 13/48 sma cross, rsi, stochastic, mfi, cci, macd, and open close trend. I have weighted the scores to be pretty even so that its balances each indicator in the sum. Because of the odd number of indicators, I have decided to normalized the score to 10. I think this has the effect of making it easier to read.
The score definition: oc_trend > 0 ? 1 : 0, fast_e > slow_e ? 1 : 0, fast_s > slow_s ? 1 : 0, rsi < 30 ? 0 : rsi > 30 and rsi < 70 ? 0.5 : rsi > 70 ? 1 : 0, macd1 > macd2 ? 0.5 : macd1 < macd2 ? 0 : 0, (hist >=0 ? (hist < hist ? 0.5 : 0.25) : (hist < hist ? 0.25 : 0)), stoch < 20 ? 0 : stoch > 20 and stoch < 80 ? 0.5 : stoch > 80 ? 1 : 0, source > ma200 ? 1 : ex <= ma200 ? 0 : 0, mfi < 20 ? 0 : mfi > 20 and mfi < 80 ? 0.5 : mfi > 80 ? 1 : 0, cci < -100 ? 0 : cci > -100 and cci < 100 ? 0.5 : cci > 100 ? 1 : 0
I hope you find this useful in your trades. Enjoy!
QQE Student's T-Distribution Bollinger Bands ScreenerThis script scans 20 custom symbols and displays the QQE Students T-Distribution Bollinger Bandwidth as a percentage, the quarter segment percentage, a score that tells you what segment of the band the price is in, and what direction the market is going in. This is useful because it can tell you how volatile a market is and how much reward is in the market. It also tells you what direction the market is going in so you can pick a symbol that has the best looking reward. I really hope that this script complements the group of indicators I have made so far. Here is a list of the other two indicators related to this script.
Please enjoy!
Signs of the Times [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This oscillator calculates the directional strength of bars using a primitive weighing mechanism based on a small number of what I consider to be fundamental properties of a bar. It does not consider the amplitude of price movements, so can be used as a complement to momentum-based oscillators. It thus belongs to the same family of indicators as my Bar Balance , Volume Ticks , Efficient work , Volume Buoyancy or my Delta Volume indicators.
█ CONCEPTS
The calculations underlying Signs of the Times (SOTT) use a simple, oft-explored concept: measure bar attributes, assign a weight to them, and aggregate results to provide an evaluation of a bar's directional strength. Bull and bear weights are added independently, then subtracted and divided by the maximum possible weight, so the final calculation looks like this:
(up - dn) / weightRange
SOTT has a zero centerline and oscillates between +1 and -1. Ten elementary properties are evaluated. Most carry a weight of one, a few are doubly weighted. All properties are evaluated using only the current bar's values or by comparing its values to those of the preceding bar. The bull conditions follow; their inverse applies to bear conditions:
Weight of 1
• Bar's close is greater than the bar's open (bar is considered to be of "up" polarity)
• Rising open
• Rising high
• Rising low
• Rising close
• Bar is up and its body size is greater than that of the previous bar
• Bar is up and its body size is greater than the combined size of wicks
Weight of 2
• Gap to the upside
• Efficient Work when it is positive
• Bar is up and volume is greater than that of the previous bar (this only kicks in if volume is actually available on the chart's data feed)
Except for the Efficient Work weight, which is a +1 to -1 float value multiplied by 2, all weights are discrete; either zero or the full weight of 1 or 2 is generated. This will cause any gap, for example, to generate a weight of +2 or -2, regardless of the gap's size. That is the reason why the oscillator is oblivious to the amplitude of price movements.
You can see the code used to calculate SOTT in my ta library 's `sott()` function.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
No videos explain this indicator and none are planned; reading this description or the script's code is the only way to understand what Signs of the Times does.
Load the indicator on an active chart (see here if you don't know how).
The default configuration displays:
• An Arnaud-Legoux moving average of length 20 of the instant SOTT value. This is the signal line.
• A fill between the MA and the centerline.
• Levels at arbitrary values of +0.3 and -0.3.
• A channel between the signal line and its MA (a simple MA of length 20), which can be one of four colors:
• Bull (green): The signal line is above its MA.
• Strong bull (lime): The bull condition is fulfilled and the signal line is above the centerline.
• Bear (red): The signal line is below its MA.
• Strong bear (pink): The bear condition is fulfilled and the signal line is below the centerline.
The script's "Inputs" tab allows you to:
• Choose a higher timeframe to calculate the indicator's values. This can be useful to get a wider perspective of the indicator's values.
If you elect to use a higher timeframe, make sure that your chart's timeframe is always lower than the higher timeframe you specified,
as calculating on a timeframe lower than the chart's does not make much sense because the indicator is then displaying only the value of the last intrabar in the chart bar.
• Specify the type of MA used to produce the signal line. Use a length of 1 or the Data Window to see the instant value of SOTT. It is quite noisy, thus the need to average it.
• Specify the type of MA applied to the signal line. The idea here is to provide context to the signal.
• Control the display and colors of the lines and fills.
The first pane of this publication's chart shows the default setup. The second one shows only a monochrome signal line.
Using the "Style" tab of the indicator's settings, you can change the type and width of the lines, and the level values.
█ INTERPRETATION
Remember that Signs of the Times evaluates directional bar strength — not price movement. Its highs and lows do not reflect price, but the strength of chart bars. The fact that SOTT knows nothing of how far price moves or of trends is easy to forget. As such, I think SOTT is best used as a confirmation tool. Chart movements may appear to be easy to read when looking at historical bars, but when you have to make go-no-go decisions on the last bar, the landscape often becomes murkier. By providing a quantitative evaluation of the strength of the last few bars, which is not always easily discernible by simply looking at them, SOTT aims to help you decide if the short-term past favors the bets you are considering. Can SOTT predict the future? Of course not.
While SOTT uses completely different calculations than classical momentum oscillators, its profile shares many of their characteristics. This could lead one to infer that directional bar strength correlates with price movement, which could in turn lead one to conclude that indicators such as this one are useless, or that they can be useful tools to confirm momentum oscillators or other models of price movement. The call is, of course, up to you. You can try, for example, to compare a Wilder MA of SOTT to an RSI of the same length.
One key difference with momentum oscillators is that SOTT is much less sensitive to large price movements. The default Arnaud-Legoux MA used for the signal line makes it quite active; you can use a more quiet SMA or EMA if you prefer to tone it down.
In systems where it can be useful to only enter or exit on short-term strength, an average of SOTT values over the last 3 to 5 bars can be used as a more quiet filter than a momentum oscillator would.
█ NOTES
My publications often go through a long gestation period where I use them on my charts or in systems before deciding if they are worth a publication. With an incubation period of more than three years, Signs of the Times holds the record. The properties SOTT currently evaluates result from the systematic elimination of contaminants over that lengthy period of time. It was long because of my usual, slow gear, but also because I had to try countless combinations of conditions before realizing that, contrary to my intuition, best results were achieved by:
• Keeping the number of evaluated properties to the absolute minimum.
• Limiting the evaluation's scope to the current and preceding bar.
• Choosing properties that, in my view, were unmistakably indicative of bullish/bearish conditions.

As most oscillators, the indicator provides live realtime values that will recalculate with chart updates. It will thus repaint in real time, but not on historical values. To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Swing Oscillator [AstrideUnicorn]The Swing Oscillator is an indicator that can help you catch small price movements, called swings. Swings are minor trends that occur when price moves between the highs and lows of a trend or range. Because of the short-term nature of swings, a new movement should be identified as soon as possible.
The indicator is based on our original formula, which averages the length of candlestick bodies and compares the result to several thresholds. This allows the algorithm to determine the direction and strength of the price movement.
HOW TO USE
When the indicator is above the zero level and colored green, it means that the price is in an upward swing. When the indicator is below the zero level and colored red, the price is in a downward swing. When the indicator is blue, the price swing is slowing down or the market is moving sideways. The amplitude of the oscillator shows the price volatility.
MA Cross ScreenerThis script lets you pick 20 symbols to check for ma crosses. The way it works is it scans all 20 of your symbols for moving average crosses and then it sends an both a regular alert and a visual alert inside of the indicator. I found that ma cross strategies are very popular right now so I thought it would be nice to have one indicator instead of 20 discord servers. The features include: 20 custom symbols, alerts, custom colors, ma select, and custom time frames. If you want to use the custom time frame option, use the lowest time frame possible. That way you wont have gaps. If you have any comments please voice them, that includes suggestions!
I hope you all find this useful!
QQE Student's T-Distribution Bollinger Bands Oscillator Credit to all of the developers on this project (aka all of the places I got the code from lol) @eylwithsteph @storma @Fractured @lejmer @AlexGrover @Montyjus @Jiehonglim @StephXAGs @peacefulLizard50262 @gorx1 @above-c-level
This script utilizes @above-c-level 's Student's T-Distribution script to give us a great estimation of volatility. I took this idea and apply it to the QQE filter! That being said I have added a boat load of features as to make this script as useful to as many people as possible. This is the Osc version
Included averages: 'TMA', 'ALMA', 'EMA', 'DEMA', 'TEMA', 'WMA', 'VWMA', 'SMA', 'SMMA', 'HMA', 'LSMA', 'JMA', 'VAMA', 'FRAMA', 'ZLEMA', 'KAMA', 'IDWMA', 'FLMSA', 'PEMA', 'HCF', 'TIF', 'MF', 'ARMA', 'DAF', 'WRMA', 'RMA', 'RAF', 'A2RMA', 'QQE 1', 'QQE 2','Centroid',"Harmonic Mean","Geometric Mean","Quadratic Mean","Median","Trimean","Midhinge","Midrange","VWAP"
Included Features: Smoothing, Additional Moving Average, Log Space, Mean Momentum via Derivative, Normalization, Convergence DIvergence, Candle View
Use this just like macd/rsi but instead this directly reflects the band version! It also shows really valid support and resistance. Use this in combination with the band version for more power.

Use this just like BB but instead (as long as you are on qqe) you get real prices that are stable! It also shows really valid support and resistance. Use this in combination with the osc version for more power.
Open Close TrendThis is a simple trend indicator that gives you a few options on how to view the data. The way this works is it takes the open, close, high and low and it smooths them with an exponential moving average. Next we smooth a bit with a simple moving average to clear up the data. Finally we normalize everything to the average high and low. With this you can compare the average closing price to the average opening price. If the closing price is greater than the opening price then it is in an up trend and visa versa. You can also find reversals by looking for divergences. I have included a few features in this script including: Normalization, 200ma centering, Background color divergence convergence, histogram to see convergence divergence, and custom colors. I hope you all enjoy this simple release! I know I had fun making this.
[MAD] Fibonacci retracementThis is just a Fibonacci Retracement tool with some interactive information based on the actual closing price
How to use:
add the script,
input left bottom with the 1st click,
input top with the 2nd click
Informations you can see than:
Fiblevel (Price) %till_this_point = pricedifference
additional:
Bottom of the fib
Range Up in % + Price-Range
Range Down in %
you can shift the comma with the decimal functions for trading shitcoins as example
if looking into the past, level/price will follow, liveinfo using the close is than hidden
what will follow:
reverse
log/linear
autogrow when range will be wicked
maybe alerts on levels... have to think about how to capture correctly
