Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01)# Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram
## What It Does
This indicator combines four momentum oscillators into a single composite signal that ranges approximately from -100 to +100. It identifies potential overbought and oversold conditions while weighting signals by volume activity to filter out weak moves.
The histogram shows momentum strength with color-coded bars:
- **Red bars** indicate extreme overbought conditions (above +100)
- **Green bars** indicate extreme oversold conditions (below -100)
- **Blue bars** show positive momentum in normal range
- **Orange bars** show negative momentum in normal range
## Core Components
The indicator blends these four momentum measures:
1. **Williams %R** - Measures where price closed relative to the high-low range
2. **Stochastic %K** - Compares closing price to the recent price range
3. **MACD Histogram** - Shows momentum changes via moving average convergence/divergence
4. **ROC (Rate of Change)** - Measures percentage price change, normalized by volatility
Each component is scaled to a -50 to +50 range, then averaged together. The MACD component uses adaptive scaling based on its historical volatility to remain relevant across different market conditions.
## Volume Weighting
The indicator amplifies signals when volume is elevated and dampens them when volume is low. It uses a logarithmic scaling approach to smooth extreme volume spikes. There's also a minimum volume filter that prevents signals from triggering during very low-volume periods.
## Settings Explained
**Momentum Settings:**
- **Length (14)** - Lookback period for Williams %R and Stochastic calculations

- **Oversold Level (-100)** - Threshold for extreme downside momentum
**Volume Settings:**
- **Enable Volume Weighting** - Toggle volume amplification on/off
- **Volume Sensitivity (1.5)** - Controls how much volume impacts the signal (higher = stronger impact)
- **Min Avg Volume (50,000)** - Filters out signals when 5-bar average volume is too low
**Components:**

Hash Momentum Strategy# Hash Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
The **Hash Momentum Strategy** is a professional-grade momentum trading system designed to capture strong directional price movements with precision timing and intelligent risk management. Unlike traditional EMA crossover strategies, this system uses momentum acceleration as its primary signal, resulting in earlier entries and better risk-to-reward ratios.
---
## ⚡ What Makes This Strategy Unique
### 1. Momentum-Based Entry System
Most strategies rely on lagging indicators like moving average crossovers. This strategy captures momentum *acceleration* - entering when price movement is gaining strength, not after the move has already happened.
### 2. Programmable Risk-to-Reward
Set your exact R:R ratio (1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, etc.) and the strategy automatically calculates stop loss and take profit levels. No more guessing or manual calculations.
### 3. Smart Partial Profit Taking
Lock in profits at multiple stages:
- **First TP**: Take 50% off at 2R
- **Second TP**: Take 40% off at 2.5R
- **Final TP**: Let 10% ride to maximum target
This approach locks in gains while letting winners run.
### 4. Dynamic Momentum Threshold
Uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your threshold setting to adapt to market volatility. Volatile markets = higher threshold. Quiet markets = lower threshold.
### 5. Trade Cooldown System
Prevents overtrading and revenge trading by enforcing a cooldown period between trades. Configurable from 1-24 bars.
### 6. Optional Session & Weekend Filters
Filter trades by Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. Optional weekend-off toggle to avoid low-liquidity periods.
---
## 🎯 How It Works
### Signal Generation
**STEP 1: Calculate Momentum**
- Momentum = Current Price - Price
- Check if Momentum > ATR × Threshold Multiplier
- Momentum must be accelerating (positive change in momentum)
**STEP 2: Confirm with EMA Trend Filter**
- Long: Price must be above EMA
- Short: Price must be below EMA
**STEP 3: Check Filters**
- Not in cooldown period
- Valid session (if enabled)
- Not weekend (if enabled)
**STEP 4: ENTRY SIGNAL TRIGGERED**
### Risk Management Example
**Example Long Trade:**
- Entry: $100
- Stop Loss: $97.80 (2.2% risk)
- Risk Amount: $2.20
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: $104.40 (2R = $4.40) → Close 50%
- TP2: $105.50 (2.5R = $5.50) → Close 40%
- Final: $105.50 (2.5R) → Close remaining 10%

## 🎓 Strategy Logic Explained
### Why Momentum > EMA Crossover?
**EMA Crossover Problems:**
- Signals lag behind price
- Late entries = poor R:R
- Many false signals in ranging markets
**Momentum Advantages:**
- Catches moves as they start accelerating
- Earlier entries = better R:R
- Adapts to volatility via ATR
### Why Partial Profit Taking?
**Without Partial TPs:**
- All-or-nothing approach
- Winners often turn to losers
- High stress watching open positions
**With Partial TPs:**
- Lock in 50% at first target
- Reduce risk to breakeven
- Let remainder ride for bigger gains
- Lower psychological pressure
### Why Trade Cooldown?
**Without Cooldown:**
- Revenge trading after losses
- Overtrading in choppy markets
- Emotional decision-making
**With Cooldown:**
- Forces discipline
- Waits for new setup to develop
- Reduces transaction costs
- Better signal quality

## ⚠️ Important Notes
1. **This is a momentum strategy, not an EMA strategy**
The EMA only confirms trend direction. Momentum generates the actual signals.
2. **Backtest thoroughly before live trading**
Past performance ≠ future results. Test on your specific asset and timeframe.
3. **Use proper position sizing**
Risk 1-2% of account per trade maximum. The strategy uses 100% equity by default (adjust in Properties).
4. **Dashboard auto-hides in real-time**
Clean chart for live trading. Visible during backtesting.
5. **Customize for your trading style**
All settings are fully adjustable. No single "best" configuration.
---
## 🚀 Quick Start Guide
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply to your preferred asset and timeframe
2. **Keep Defaults**: Start with default settings
3. **Backtest**: Review historical performance
4. **Paper Trade**: Test with simulated money first
5. **Go Live**: Start small and scale up
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
**Tip 1: Combine Timeframes**
Use higher timeframe (4H) for trend direction, lower timeframe (1H) for entries.
**Tip 2: Avoid News Events**
Major news can cause whipsaws. Consider manual intervention during high-impact events.
**Tip 3: Monitor Momentum Strength**
Dashboard shows momentum in sigma (σ). Values >1.0σ indicate very strong momentum.
**Tip 4: Adjust for Volatility**
In high-volatility markets, increase threshold and stop loss. In quiet markets, decrease them.
**Tip 5: Review Losing Trades**
Check if losses are hitting stop loss or reversing. Adjust stop accordingly.

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.
RSI Regime: Continuation vs Reversal Indicator Description: RSI Regime (Continuation vs. Reversal)
This indicator uses the standard Relative Strength Index (RSI) to analyze market momentum and categorize it into three "regimes." Its primary goal is to help you determine if an overbought (OB) or oversold (OS) signal is likely to be a continuation of the current trend or a reversal point.
It also identifies "Fast Trend Starts," which are exceptionally fast and powerful moves from one extreme to the other.
Core Features & How to Read It
1. The Three RSI Regimes (Background Color) The script calculates a moving average (SMA) of the RSI to determine the dominant medium-term momentum. This is shown as the background color:
Bull Regime (Green Background): The RSI's average is high (e.g., above 55). The market is in a clear uptrend.
Bear Regime (Red Background): The RSI's average is low (e.g., below 45). The market is in a clear downtrend.
Range Regime (Orange Background): The RSI's average is in the middle. The market is consolidating or undecided.
2. Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS) Signals
When the RSI line crosses into the overbought (e.g., >70) or oversold (e.g., <30) zones, the indicator generates one of two types of signals:
A) Continuation Signals (Small Triangles: ►)
These signals suggest an OB/OS reading is just a "pause" and the main trend will likely continue.
Orange ► (at the top): Appears when RSI becomes overbought while the market is already in a Bull Regime. This suggests the uptrend is strong, and this OB signal may not lead to a big drop.
Teal ► (at the bottom): Appears when RSI becomes oversold while the market is already in a Bear Regime. This suggests the downtrend is strong, and this OS signal may not lead to a big bounce.
(Note: An optional Price EMA filter can be enabled to make these signals more strict.)
B) Reversal Signals (Small Labels: "OS→>50" / "OB→<50")
These labels appear after an OB/OS signal to confirm that a reversal has actually occurred.
"OS→>50 Reversal" (Aqua Label): Appears if the RSI becomes oversold and then recovers back above the 50 midline within a set number of bars. This confirms the oversold dip was a reversal point.
"OB→<50 Reversal" (Orange Label): Appears if the RSI becomes overbought and then falls back below the 50 midline within a set number of bars. This confirms the overbought peak was a reversal point.
3. "Fast Trend Starts" (Large Labels)
This is a unique feature that identifies the fastest percentile of market moves. It measures how many bars it takes for the RSI to go from one extreme to the other and flags when a move is in the top 5% (default) of all historical moves.
"Long Pullbacks (Fast OS→BullRange)" (Large Green Label): This powerful signal appears when the RSI moves from oversold (<30) all the way up to the bull range (>60) exceptionally fast. It identifies a very strong, fast, and decisive bounce that could signal the start of a new uptrend.
"Short Pumps (Fast OB→BearRange)" (Large Red Label): This appears when the RSI moves from overbought (>70) all the way down to the bear range (<40) exceptionally fast. It identifies a very sharp, fast rejection or "pump-and-dump" that could signal the start of a new downtrend.
Key User Inputs
RSI Length (14): The lookback period for the main RSI calculation.
OB (70) / OS (30): The standard overbought and oversold levels.
Bull/Bear Range Threshold (60/40): These are the levels used to confirm the "Fast Trend Starts." They are separate from the OB/OS levels.
RSI Regime SMA Length (21): The lookback period for the moving average that determines the background regime.
Use Price EMA filter (true): If checked, the small "Continuation" triangles will only appear if the price is also above (for bulls) or below (for bears) its own 50-period EMA.
Fastest X% duration (5.0): This sets the percentile for the "Fast Trend Start" labels. 5.0 means it only flags moves that are in the fastest 5% of all recorded moves.
Alpha-Weighted RSIDescription:
The Alpha-Weighted RSI is a next-generation momentum oscillator that redefines the classic RSI by incorporating the mathematical principles of Lévy Flight. This advanced adaptation applies non-linear weighting to price changes, making the indicator more sensitive to significant market moves and less reactive to minor noise. It is designed for traders seeking a clearer, more powerful view of momentum and potential reversal zones.
🔍 Key Features & Innovations:
Lévy Flight Alpha Weighting: At the core of this indicator is the Alpha parameter (1.0-2.0), which controls the sensitivity to price changes.
Lower Alpha (e.g., 1.2): Makes the indicator highly responsive to recent price movements, ideal for capturing early trend shifts.
Higher Alpha (e.g., 1.8): Creates a smoother, more conservative output that filters out noise, focusing on stronger momentum.
Customizable Smoothing: The raw Lévy-RSI is smoothed by a user-selectable moving average (8 MA types supported: SMA, EMA, SMMA, etc.), allowing for further customization of responsiveness.
Intuitive Centered Oscillator: The RSI is centered around a zero line, providing a clean visual separation between bullish and bearish territory.
Dynamic Gradient Zones: Subtle, colour coded gradient fills in the overbought (>+25) and oversold (<-25) regions enhance visual clarity without cluttering the chart.
Modern Histogram Display: Momentum is plotted as a sleek histogram that changes color between bright cyan (bullish) and magenta (bearish) based on its position relative to the zero line.
🎯 How to Use & Interpret:
Zero-Line Crossovers: The most basic signals. A crossover above the zero line indicates building bullish momentum, while a crossover below suggests growing bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Use the +25/-25 and +35/-35 levels as dynamic zones. A reading above +25 suggests strong bullish momentum (overbought), while a reading below -25 indicates strong bearish momentum (oversold).
Divergence Detection: Look for divergences between the Alpha-Weighted RSI and price action. For example, if price makes a new low but the RSI forms a higher low, it can signal a potential bullish reversal.
Alpha Tuning: Adjust the Alpha parameter to match market volatility. In choppy markets, increase alpha to reduce noise. In trending markets, decrease alpha to become more responsive.
⚙️ Input Parameters:
RSI Settings: Standard RSI inputs for Length and Calculation Source.
Lévy Flight Settings: The crucial Alpha factor for response control.
MA Settings: MA Type and MA Length for smoothing the final output.
By applying Lévy Flight dynamics, this indicator offers a nuanced perspective on momentum, helping you stay ahead of the curve. Feedback is always welcome!
Adaptive EMA CrossoverIndicator Name: Adaptive EMA Crossover
Description:
The Adaptive EMA Crossover is a sleek, visual tool designed to help traders identify trend direction and potential entry/exit points with clarity. By employing two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with dynamic coloring, it cuts through the noise of the chart, allowing you to focus on high-probability signals.
🔍 Key Features:
Dual EMA System: Utilizes a fast and a slow EMA to gauge market momentum. The default settings are 12 (fast) and 21 (slow) periods, which can be fully customized.
Adaptive Visuals: Both EMAs change color simultaneously to reflect the dominant trend.
🟢 Bright Turquoise: Indicates an Uptrend (Fast EMA >= Slow EMA).
🔴 Bright Pink: Indicates a Downtrend (Fast EMA < Slow EMA).
Clear Crossover Signals: Prominent dots directly on the chart mark the exact moment a crossover occurs.
Turquoise Dot: A Bullish Crossover signal (Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA).
Pink Dot: A Bearish Crossover signal (Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA).
Integrated Alerts: Never miss a trading opportunity! Built-in alert conditions notify you instantly for both bullish and bearish crossovers.
🎯 How to Use:
Trend Identification: The primary colors of the EMAs give an immediate sense of the trend. Trade in the direction of the trend for higher-probability setups.
Signal Confirmation: Use the crossover dots as potential triggers for entry or exit. A turquoise dot in a rising market can signal a buy opportunity, while a pink dot in a falling market can signal a sell or short opportunity.
Combination with Other Tools: For best results, combine this indicator with other forms of analysis like support/resistance levels or volume confirmation to filter out false signals.
⚙️ Inputs:
EMA Small: Period for the faster-moving average (default: 12).
EMA Big: Period for the slower-moving average (default: 21).
This is my first published indicator. I welcome all feedback and suggestions for improvement! Happy Trading!

Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
Squeeze Go Momentum Pro [KingThies] █ OVERVIEW
The Squeeze Momentum Pro indicator identifies volatility compression phases and breakout opportunities by comparing Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When price consolidates (squeeze), the bands contract inside the channels, signaling an imminent breakout. The momentum histogram shows directional bias, helping traders anticipate which way price will move when the squeeze releases.
This indicator displays in a separate panel below the price chart, providing clear visual signals without cluttering price action.
█ KEY FEATURES
Momentum Histogram
The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.
█ CREDITS
Squeeze methodology inspired by John Carter's TTM Squeeze indicator. Momentum calculation and visual design optimized for modern trading workflows.
RSI(Min-Max)RSI (Min-Max) is an enhanced version of Welles Wilder's Relative Strength Index, designed to offer greater analytical precision and dynamic insight into the behavior of the RSI within each candlestick.In addition to displaying the traditional RSI value, this script calculates the possible extreme values — the minimum and maximum RSI — based on the low and high prices of the current candle. This allows you to estimate how the RSI would react if the price moved to the extremes of the bar, providing a predictive and refined reading of momentum.
True Strength Index with Crossovers Alerts🚀 True Strength Index (TSI) with Visual Crossover Alerts
Hey everyone! I’m sharing my customized True Strength Index (TSI) indicator, which I've boosted with clear visual signals and alert conditions based on my personal, high-probability trading strategy.
The True Strength Index is a powerful, oscillation-based momentum indicator that smooths price movements twice using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This double-smoothing process helps to filter out market noise, giving you a much clearer view of momentum changes than basic indicators.
🛠️ How This Script Works
This script focuses on the crucial interaction between the TSI line and its Signal Line:
TSI Line (Blue): Tracks momentum direction and strength.
Signal Line (Red): A simple EMA of the TSI line, used to determine short-term trend shifts.
Visual Buy/Sell Signals:
To make signals impossible to miss, I've added distinct visual markers:
🟢 Green Dot: A "Buy Signal" is plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane when the TSI crosses above the Signal Line (bullish crossover).
🔴 Red Dot: A "Sell Signal" is plotted at the bottom when the TSI crosses below the Signal Line (bearish crossover).
Additionally, I've included named alertconditions so you can set up real-time notifications for these exact crossovers in the TradingView Alert system.
🧠 My Trading Logic: Combining TSI with RSI
I don't use the TSI in isolation. My favorite approach is to use this TSI indicator as a timing tool, but only when it aligns with the overall momentum context defined by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
This is the key to my strategy:
Bullish Trade Filter: I only take a BUY signal (Green Dot) when my RSI indicator is already in a bullish territory (above 50).
Bearish Trade Filter: I only take a SELL signal (Red Dot) when my RSI indicator is already in a bearish territory (below 50).
This combination ensures you are trading with the underlying momentum trend, improving the probability of success.
⚙️ My Recommended Custom Settings
For the best results with this strategy, I recommend using the following custom settings. You can enter these values in the "Inputs" tab when adding the indicator to your chart.
1. TSI (Alerts) Settings
Long Length - 60
Higher value for smoother price change data.
Short Length -30
Medium-term smoothing for clearer momentum shifts.
Signal Length - 9
Short length for a responsive signal line.
2. Companion RSI Settings (RSI+)
RSI Length - 150
A long look-back period for highly accurate trend filtering.
MA1 Length - 60
Used for additional smoothing.
MA2 Length - 150
Used for powerful trend confluence.

Composite Buy/Sell Score [-100 to +100] by LMComposite Buy/Sell Score (Stabilized + Sensitivity) by LM
Description:
This indicator calculates a composite trend strength score ranging from -100 to +100 by combining multiple popular technical indicators into a single, smoothed metric. It is designed to give traders a clear view of bullish and bearish trends, while filtering out short-term noise.
The score incorporates signals from:
PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) – measures momentum via the difference between fast and slow EMAs.
ADX (Average Directional Index) – detects trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) – identifies short-term momentum swings.
Stochastic RSI – measures RSI momentum and speed of change.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) – detects momentum shifts using EMA crossovers.
Williams %R – highlights overbought/oversold conditions.
Each component is weighted, smoothed, and optionally confirmed across a configurable number of bars, producing a stabilized composite score that reacts more reliably to significant trend changes.
Key Features:
Smoothed Composite Score
The final score is smoothed using an EMA to reduce volatility and emphasize meaningful trends.
A Sensitivity Multiplier allows traders to exaggerate the score for stronger trend signals or dampen it for quieter markets.
Customizable Inputs
You can adjust each indicator’s parameters, smoothing lengths, and confirm bars to suit your preferred timeframe and trading style.
The sensitivity multiplier allows fine-tuning the responsiveness of the trend line without changing underlying indicator calculations.
Visual Representation
Score Line: Green for positive (bullish) trends, red for negative (bearish) trends, gray near neutral.
Reference Lines:
0 = neutral
+100 = maximum bullish
-100 = maximum bearish
Adaptive Background: Optionally highlights the background intensity proportional to trend strength. Strong green for bullish trends, strong red for bearish trends.
Multi-Indicator Integration
Combines momentum, trend, and overbought/oversold signals into a single metric.
Helps identify clear entry/exit trends while avoiding whipsaw noise common in individual indicators.
Recommended Use:
Trend Identification: Look for sustained movement above 0 for bullish trends and below 0 for bearish trends.
Exaggerated Trends: Use the Sensitivity Multiplier to emphasize strong trends.
Filtering Noise: The smoothed score and confirmBars settings help reduce false signals from minor price fluctuations.
Inputs Overview:
Input Purpose
PPO Fast EMA / Slow EMA / Signal Controls PPO momentum sensitivity
ADX Length / Threshold Detects trend strength
RSI Length / Overbought / Oversold Measures short-term momentum
Stoch RSI Length / %K / %D Measures speed of RSI changes
MACD Fast / Slow / Signal Measures momentum crossover
Williams %R Length Detects overbought/oversold conditions
Final Score Smoothing Length EMA smoothing for final composite score
Confirm Bars for Each Signal Number of bars used to confirm individual indicator signals
Sensitivity Multiplier Scales the final composite score for exaggerated trend response
Highlight Background by Trend Strength Enables adaptive background coloring
This indicator is suitable for traders looking for a single, clear trend metric derived from multiple indicators. It can be applied to any timeframe and can help identify both strong and emerging trends in the market.
[AS] MACD-v & Hist [Alex Spiroglou | S.M.A.R.T. TRADER SYSTEMS] MACD-v & MACD-v Histogram
=======================================
Volatility Normalised Momentum 📈
Twice Awarded Indicator 🏆
=======================================
=======================================
✅ 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE MACD-v ✅
=======================================
I created the MACD-v in 2015,
as a way to deal with the limitations
of well known indicators like the Stochastic, RSI, MACD.
I decided to publicly share a very small part of my research
in the form of a research paper I wrote in 2022,
titled "MACD-v: Volatility Normalised Momentum".
That paper was awarded twice:
1. The "Charles H. Dow" Award (2022),
for outstanding research in Technical Analysis,
by the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)
2. The "Founders" Award (2022),
for advances in Active Investment Management,
by the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM)
=======================================
===================================================
❌ 2. WHY CREATE THE MACD-v ?
THE LIMITATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL MOMENTUM INDICATORS
====================================================
Technical Analysis indicators focused on momentum,
come in two general categories,
each with its own set of limitations:
(i) Range Bound Oscillators (RSI, Stochastics, etc)
These usually have a scaling of 0-100,
and thus have the advantage of having normalised readings,
that are comparable across time and securities.
However they have the following limitations (among others):
1. Skewing effect of steep trends
2. Indicator values do not adjust with and reflect true momentum
(indicator values are capped to 100)
(ii) Unbound Oscillators (MACD, RoC, etc)
These are boundless indicators,
and can expand with the market,
without being limited by a 0-100 scaling,
and thus have the advantage of really measuring momentum.
They have the main following limitations (among others):
1. Subjectivity of overbought / oversold levels
2. Not comparable across time
3. Not comparable across securities
=======================================
=======================================
💡 3. THE SOLUTION TO SOLVE THESE LIMITATIONS
=======================================
In order to deal with these limitations,
I decided to create an indicator,
that would be the "Best of two worlds".
A unique & hybrid indicator,
that would have objective normalised readings
(similar to Range Bound Oscillators - RSI)
but would also be able to have no upper/lower boundaries
(similar to Unbound Oscillators - MACD).
This would be achieved by "normalising" a boundless oscillator (MACD)
=======================================
==================================================
⛔ 4. DEEP DIVE INTO THE 5 LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD
==================================================
A Bloomberg study found that the MACD
is the most popular indicator after the RSI,
but the MACD has 5 BIG limitations.
Limitation 1: MACD values are not comparable across Time
The raw MACD values shift
as the underlying security's absolute value changes across time,
making historical comparisons obsolete
e.g S&P 500 maximum MACD was 1.56 in 1957-1971,
but reached 86.31 in 2019-2021 - not indicating 55x stronger momentum,
but simply different price levels.
Limitation 2: MACD values are not comparable across Assets
Traditional MACD cannot compare momentum between different assets.
S&P 500 MACD of 65 versus EUR/USD MACD of -0.5
reflects absolute price differences, not momentum differences
Limitation 3: MACD values cannot be Systematically Classified
Due to limitations #1 & #2, it is not possible to create
a momentum level classification scale
where one can define "fast", "slow", "overbought", "oversold" momentum
making systematic analysis impossible
Limitation 4: MACD Signal Line gives false crossovers in low-momentum ranges
In range-bound, low momentum environments,
most of the MACD signal line crossovers are false (noise)
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is low
Limitation 5: MACD Signal Line gives late crossovers in high momentum regimes.
Signal lag in strong trends not good at timing the turning point
— In high-momentum moves, MACD crossovers may come late.
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is high
===================================================================
===================================================================
🏆 5. MACD-v : THE SOLUTION TO THE LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD , RSI, etc
====================================================================
MACD-v is a volatility normalised momentum indicator.
It remedies these 5 limitations of the classic MACD,
while creating a tool with unique properties.
Formula: × 100
MACD-V enhances the classic MACD by normalizing for volatility,
transforming price-dependent readings into standardized momentum values.
This resolves key limitations of traditional MACD and adds significant analytical power.
Core Advantages of MACD-V
Advantage 1: Time-Based Stability
MACD-V values are consistent and comparable over time.
A reading of 100 has the same meaning today as it did in the past
(unlike traditional MACD which is influenced by changes in price and volatility over time)
Advantage 2: Cross-Market Comparability
MACD-V provides universal scaling.
Readings (e.g., ±50) apply consistently across all asset classes—stocks,
bonds, commodities, or currencies,
allowing traders to compare momentum across markets reliably.
Advantage 3: Objective Momentum Classification
MACD-V includes a defined 5-range momentum lifecycle
with standardized thresholds (e.g., -150 to +150).
This offers an objective framework for analyzing market conditions
and supports integration with broader models.
Advantage 4: False Signal Reduction in Low-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V introduces a "neutral zone" (typically -50 to +50)
to filter out these low-probability signals.
Advantage 5: Improved Signal Timing in High-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V identifies extremely strong trends,
allowing for more precise entry and exit points.
Advantage 6: Trend-Adaptive Scaling
Unlike bounded oscillators like RSI or Stochastic,
MACD-V dynamically expands with trend strength,
providing clearer momentum insights without artificial limits.
Advantage 7: Enhanced Divergence Detection
MACD-V offers more reliable divergence signals
by avoiding distortion at extreme levels,
a common flaw in bounded indicators (RSI, etc)
====================================================================
=======================================
⚒️ 5. HOW TO USE THE MACD-v: 7 CORE PATTERNS
HOW TO USE THE MACD-v Histogram: 2 CORE PATTERNS
=======================================
>>>>>> BASIC USE (RANGE RULES) <<<<<<
The MACD-v has 7 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk Range (Overbought)
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > +150
Interpretation: Extremely strong bullish momentum—potential exhaustion or reversal zone.
2. Retracing
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and MACD-V > -50
Interpretation: Mild pullback within a bullish trend.
3. Rundown
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and -50 > MACD-V > -150
Interpretation: Momentum is weakening—bearish pressure building.
4. Risk Range (Oversold)
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and MACD-V < -150
Interpretation: Extreme bearish momentum—potential for reversal or capitulation.
5. Rebounding
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > -150
Interpretation: Bullish recovery from oversold or weak conditions.
6. Rallying
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > +50
Interpretation: Strengthening bullish trend—momentum accelerating.
7. Ranging (Neutral Zone)
Condition: MACD-V remains between -50 and +50 for 20+ bars
Interpretation: Sideways market—low conviction and momentum.
The MACD-v Histogram has 2 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk (Overbought)
Condition: Histogram > +40
Interpretation: Short-term bullish momentum is stretched—possible overextension or reversal risk.
2. Risk (Oversold)
Condition: Histogram < -40
Interpretation: Short-term bearish momentum is stretched—potential for rebound or reversal.

Historical Matrix Analyzer [PhenLabs]📊Historical Matrix Analyzer
Version: PineScriptv6
📌Description
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is an advanced probabilistic trading tool that transforms technical analysis into a data-driven decision support system. By creating a comprehensive 56-cell matrix that tracks every combination of RSI states and multi-indicator conditions, this indicator reveals which market patterns have historically led to profitable outcomes and which have not.
At its core, the indicator continuously monitors seven distinct RSI states (ranging from Extreme Oversold to Extreme Overbought) and eight unique indicator combinations (MACD direction, volume levels, and price momentum). For each of these 56 possible market states, the system calculates average forward returns, win rates, and occurrence counts based on your configurable lookback period. The result is a color-coded probability matrix that shows you exactly where you stand in the historical performance landscape.
The standout feature is the Current State Panel, which provides instant clarity on your active market conditions. This panel displays signal strength classifications (from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish), the average return percentage for similar past occurrences, an estimated win rate using Bayesian smoothing to prevent small-sample distortions, and a confidence level indicator that warns you when insufficient data exists for reliable conclusions.

🔧Core Components
RSI State Classification: Segments RSI readings into 7 distinct zones (Extreme Oversold <20, Oversold 20-30, Weak 30-40, Neutral 40-60, Strong 60-70, Overbought 70-80, Extreme Overbought >80) to capture momentum extremes and transitions
Multi-Indicator Condition Tracking: Simultaneously monitors MACD crossover status (bullish/bearish), volume relative to moving average (high/low), and price direction (rising/falling) creating 8 binary-encoded combinations
Historical Data Storage Arrays: Maintains rolling lookback windows storing RSI states, indicator states, prices, and bar indices for precise forward-return calculations
Forward Performance Calculator: Measures price changes over configurable forward bar periods (1-20 bars) from each historical state, accumulating total returns and win counts per matrix cell
Bayesian Smoothing Engine: Applies statistical prior assumptions (default 50% win rate) weighted by user-defined strength parameter to stabilize estimated win rates when sample sizes are small
Dynamic Color Mapping System: Converts average returns into color-coded heat map with intensity adjusted by sensitivity parameter and transparency modified by confidence levels
🔥Key Features
56-Cell Probability Matrix: Comprehensive grid displaying every possible combination of RSI state and indicator condition, with each cell showing average return percentage, estimated win rate, and occurrence count for complete statistical visibility
Current State Info Panel: Dedicated display showing your exact position in the matrix with signal strength emoji indicators, numerical statistics, and color-coded confidence warnings for immediate situational awareness
Customizable Lookback Period: Adjustable historical window from 50 to 500 bars allowing traders to focus on recent market behavior or capture longer-term pattern stability across different market cycles
Configurable Forward Performance Window: Select target holding periods from 1 to 20 bars ahead to align probability calculations with your trading timeframe, whether day trading or swing trading
Visual Heat Mapping: Color-coded cells transition from red (bearish historical performance) through gray (neutral) to green (bullish performance) with intensity reflecting statistical significance and occurrence frequency
Intelligent Data Filtering: Minimum occurrence threshold (1-10) removes unreliable patterns with insufficient historical samples, displaying gray warning colors for low-confidence cells
Flexible Layout Options: Independent positioning of statistics matrix and info panel to any screen corner, accommodating different chart layouts and personal preferences

📖Usage Guidelines
RSI Period
Default: 14
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Controls the lookback period for RSI momentum calculation. Standard 14-period provides widely-recognized overbought/oversold levels. Decrease for faster, more sensitive RSI reactions suitable for scalping. Increase (21, 28) for smoother, longer-term momentum assessment in swing trading. Changes affect how quickly the indicator moves between the 7 RSI state classifications.
MACD Fast Length
Default: 12
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Sets the faster exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Standard 12-period setting works well for daily charts and captures short-term momentum shifts. Decreasing creates more responsive MACD crossovers but increases false signals. Increasing smooths out noise but delays signal generation, affecting the bullish/bearish indicator state classification.
MACD Slow Length
Default: 26
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Defines the slower exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Traditional 26-period setting balances trend identification with responsiveness. Must be greater than Fast Length. Wider spread between fast and slow increases MACD sensitivity to trend changes, impacting the frequency of indicator state transitions in the matrix.
MACD Signal Length
Default: 9
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Smoothing period for the MACD signal line that triggers bullish/bearish state changes. Standard 9-period provides reliable crossover signals. Shorter values create more frequent state changes and earlier signals but with more whipsaws. Longer values produce more confirmed, stable signals but with increased lag in detecting momentum shifts.
Volume MA Period
Default: 20
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Lookback period for volume moving average used to classify volume as “high” or “low” in indicator state combinations. 20-period default captures typical monthly trading patterns. Shorter periods (10-15) make volume classification more reactive to recent spikes. Longer periods (30-50) require more sustained volume changes to trigger state classification shifts.
Statistics Lookback Period
Default: 200
Range: 50 to 500
Description: Number of historical bars used to calculate matrix statistics. 200 bars provides substantial data for reliable patterns while remaining responsive to regime changes. Lower values (50-100) emphasize recent market behavior and adapt quickly but may produce volatile statistics. Higher values (300-500) capture long-term patterns with stable statistics but slower adaptation to changing market dynamics.
Forward Performance Bars
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Number of bars ahead used to calculate forward returns from each historical state occurrence. 5-bar default suits intraday to short-term swing trading (5 hours on hourly charts, 1 week on daily charts). Lower values (1-3) target short-term momentum trades. Higher values (10-20) align with position trading and longer-term pattern exploitation.
Color Intensity Sensitivity
Default: 2.0
Range: 0.5 to 5.0, step 0.5
Description: Amplifies or dampens the color intensity response to average return magnitudes in the matrix heat map. 2.0 default provides balanced visual emphasis. Lower values (0.5-1.0) create subtle coloring requiring larger returns for full saturation, useful for volatile instruments. Higher values (3.0-5.0) produce vivid colors from smaller returns, highlighting subtle edges in range-bound markets.
Minimum Occurrences for Coloring
Default: 3
Range: 1 to 10
Description: Required minimum sample size before applying color-coded performance to matrix cells. Cells with fewer occurrences display gray “insufficient data” warning. 3-occurrence default filters out rare patterns. Lower threshold (1-2) shows more data but includes unreliable single-event statistics. Higher thresholds (5-10) ensure only well-established patterns receive visual emphasis.
Table Position
Default: top_right
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the 56-cell statistics matrix table. Position to avoid overlapping critical price action or other indicators on your chart. Consider chart orientation and candlestick density when selecting optimal placement.
Show Current State Panel
Default: true
Options: true, false
Description: Toggle visibility of the dedicated current state information panel. When enabled, displays signal strength, RSI value, indicator status, average return, estimated win rate, and confidence level for active market conditions. Disable to declutter charts when only the matrix table is needed.
Info Panel Position
Default: bottom_left
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the current state information panel (when enabled). Position independently from statistics matrix to optimize chart real estate. Typically placed opposite the matrix table for balanced visual layout.
Win Rate Smoothing Strength
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Controls Bayesian prior weighting for estimated win rate calculations. Acts as virtual sample size assuming 50% win rate baseline. Default 5 provides moderate smoothing preventing extreme win rate estimates from small samples. Lower values (1-3) reduce smoothing effect, allowing win rates to reflect raw data more directly. Higher values (10-20) increase conservatism, pulling win rate estimates toward 50% until substantial evidence accumulates.
✅Best Use Cases
Pattern-based discretionary trading where you want historical confirmation before entering setups that “look good” based on current technical alignment
Swing trading with holding periods matching your forward performance bar setting, using high-confidence bullish cells as entry filters
Risk assessment and position sizing, allocating larger size to trades originating from cells with strong positive average returns and high estimated win rates
Market regime identification by observing which RSI states and indicator combinations are currently producing the most reliable historical patterns
Backtesting validation by comparing your manual strategy signals against the historical performance of the corresponding matrix cells
Educational tool for developing intuition about which technical condition combinations have actually worked versus those that feel right but lack historical evidence
⚠️Limitations
Historical patterns do not guarantee future performance, especially during unprecedented market events or regime changes not represented in the lookback period
Small sample sizes (low occurrence counts) produce unreliable statistics despite Bayesian smoothing, requiring caution when acting on low-confidence cells
Matrix statistics lag behind rapidly changing market conditions, as the lookback period must accumulate new state occurrences before updating performance data
Forward return calculations use fixed bar periods that may not align with actual trade exit timing, support/resistance levels, or volatility-adjusted profit targets
💡What Makes This Unique
Multi-Dimensional State Space: Unlike single-indicator tools, simultaneously tracks 56 distinct market condition combinations providing granular pattern resolution unavailable in traditional technical analysis
Bayesian Statistical Rigor: Implements proper probabilistic smoothing to prevent overconfidence from limited data, a critical feature missing from most pattern recognition tools
Real-Time Contextual Feedback: The “NOW” marker and dedicated info panel instantly connect current market conditions to their historical performance profile, eliminating guesswork
Transparent Occurrence Counts: Displays sample sizes directly in each cell, allowing traders to judge statistical reliability themselves rather than hiding data quality issues
Fully Customizable Analysis Window: Complete control over lookback depth and forward return horizons lets traders align the tool precisely with their trading timeframe and strategy requirements
🔬How It Works
1. State Classification and Encoding
Each bar’s RSI value is evaluated and assigned to one of 7 discrete states based on threshold levels (0: <20, 1: 20-30, 2: 30-40, 3: 40-60, 4: 60-70, 5: 70-80, 6: >80)
Simultaneously, three binary conditions are evaluated: MACD line position relative to signal line, current volume relative to its moving average, and current close relative to previous close
These three binary conditions are combined into a single indicator state integer (0-7) using binary encoding, creating 8 possible indicator combinations
The RSI state and indicator state are stored together, defining one of 56 possible market condition cells in the matrix
2. Historical Data Accumulation
As each bar completes, the current state classification, closing price, and bar index are stored in rolling arrays maintained at the size specified by the lookback period
When the arrays reach capacity, the oldest data point is removed and the newest added, creating a sliding historical window
This continuous process builds a comprehensive database of past market conditions and their subsequent price movements
3. Forward Return Calculation and Statistics Update
On each bar, the indicator looks back through the stored historical data to find bars where sufficient forward bars exist to measure outcomes
For each historical occurrence, the price change from that bar to the bar N periods ahead (where N is the forward performance bars setting) is calculated as a percentage return
This percentage return is added to the cumulative return total for the specific matrix cell corresponding to that historical bar’s state classification
Occurrence counts are incremented, and wins are tallied for positive returns, building comprehensive statistics for each of the 56 cells
The Bayesian smoothing formula combines these raw statistics with prior assumptions (neutral 50% win rate) weighted by the smoothing strength parameter to produce estimated win rates that remain stable even with small samples
💡Note:
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is designed as a decision support tool, not a standalone trading system. Best results come from using it to validate discretionary trade ideas or filter systematic strategy signals. Always combine matrix insights with proper risk management, position sizing rules, and awareness of broader market context. The estimated win rate feature uses Bayesian statistics specifically to prevent false confidence from limited data, but no amount of smoothing can create reliable predictions from fundamentally insufficient sample sizes. Focus on high-confidence cells (green-colored confidence indicators) with occurrence counts well above your minimum threshold for the most actionable insights.
Luxy Adaptive MA Cloud - Trend Strength & Signal Tracker V2Luxy Adaptive MA Cloud - Professional Trend Strength & Signal Tracker
Next-generation moving average cloud indicator combining ultra-smooth gradient visualization with intelligent momentum detection. Built for traders who demand clarity, precision, and actionable insights.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR SPECIAL?
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike traditional MA indicators that show static lines, Luxy Adaptive MA Cloud creates a living, breathing visualization of market momentum. Here's what sets it apart:
Exponential Gradient Technology
This isn't just a simple fill between two lines. It's a professionally engineered gradient system with 26 precision layers using exponential density distribution. The result? An organic, cloud-like appearance where the center is dramatically darker (15% transparency - where crossovers and price action occur), while edges fade gracefully (75% transparency). Think of it as a visual "heat map" of trend strength.
Dynamic Momentum Intelligence
Most MA clouds only show structure (which MA is on top). This indicator shows momentum strength in real-time through four intelligent states:
- 🟢 Bright Green = Explosive bullish momentum (both MAs rising strongly)
- 🔵 Blue = Weakening bullish (structure intact, but momentum fading)
- 🟠 Orange = Caution zone (bearish structure forming, weak momentum)
- 🔴 Deep Red = Strong bearish momentum (both MAs falling)
The cloud literally tells you when trends are accelerating or losing steam.
Conditional Performance Architecture
Every calculation is optimized for speed. Disable a feature? It stops calculating entirely—not just hidden, but not computed . The 26-layer gradient only renders when enabled. Toggle signals off? Those crossover checks don't run. This makes it one of the most efficient cloud indicators available, even with its advanced visual system.
Zero Repaint Guarantee
All signals and momentum states are based on confirmed bar data only . What you see in historical data is exactly what you would have seen trading live. No lookahead bias. No repainting tricks. No signals that "magically" appear perfect in hindsight. If a signal shows in history, it would have triggered in real-time at that exact moment.
Educational by Design
Every single input includes comprehensive tooltips with:
- Clear explanations of what each parameter does
- Practical examples of when to use different settings
- Recommended configurations for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
- Real-world trading impact ("This affects entry timing" vs "This is visual only")
You're not just getting an indicator—you're learning how to use it effectively .

THE GRADIENT CLOUD - TECHNICAL DETAILS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Architecture:
26 precision layers for silk-smooth transitions
Exponential density curve - layers packed tightly near center (where crossovers happen), spread wider at edges
75%-15% transparency range - center is highly opaque (15%), edges fade gracefully (75%)
V-Gradient design - emphasizes the action zone between Fast and Medium MAs
The Four Momentum States:
🟢 GREEN - Strong Bullish
Fast MA above Medium MA
Both MAs rising with momentum > 0.02%
Action: Enter/hold LONG positions, strong uptrend confirmed
🔵 BLUE - Weak Bullish
Fast MA above Medium MA
Weak or flat momentum
Action: Caution - bullish structure but losing strength, consider trailing stops
🟠 ORANGE - Weak Bearish
Medium MA above Fast MA
Weak or flat momentum
Action: Warning - bearish structure developing, consider exits
🔴 RED - Strong Bearish
Medium MA above Fast MA
Both MAs falling with momentum < -0.02%
Action: Enter/hold SHORT positions, strong downtrend confirmed
Smooth Transitions: The momentum score is smoothed using an 8-bar EMA to eliminate noise and prevent whipsaws. You see the true trend , not every minor fluctuation.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
FLEXIBLE MOVING AVERAGE SYSTEM
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Three Customizable MAs:
Fast MA (default: EMA 10) - Reacts quickly to price changes, defines short-term momentum
Medium MA (default: EMA 20) - Balances responsiveness with stability, core trend reference
Slow MA (default: SMA 200, optional) - Long-term trend filter, major support/resistance
Six MA Types Available:
EMA - Exponential; faster response, ideal for momentum and day trading
SMA - Simple; smooth and stable, best for swing trading and trend following
WMA - Weighted; middle ground between EMA and SMA
VWMA - Volume-weighted; reflects market participation, useful for liquid markets
RMA - Wilder's smoothing; used in RSI/ADX, excellent for trend filters
HMA - Hull; extremely responsive with minimal lag, aggressive option
Recommended Settings by Trading Style:
Scalping (1m-5m):
Fast: EMA(5-8)
Medium: EMA(10-15)
Slow: Not needed or EMA(50)
Day Trading (5m-1h):
Fast: EMA(10-12)
Medium: EMA(20-21)
Slow: SMA(200) for bias
Swing Trading (4h-1D):
Fast: EMA(10-20)
Medium: EMA(34-50)
Slow: SMA(200)
Pro Tip: Start with Fast < Medium < Slow lengths. The gradient works best when there's clear separation between Fast and Medium MAs.

HOW TO USE - PRACTICAL TRADING GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
STRATEGY 1: Trend Following
Identify trend : Wait for GREEN (bullish) or RED (bearish) cloud
Enter on signal : Golden Cross in GREEN cloud = LONG, Death Cross in RED cloud = SHORT
Hold position : While cloud maintains color
Exit signals :
• Cloud turns ORANGE/BLUE = momentum weakening, tighten stops
• Opposite crossover = close position
• Cloud turns opposite color = full reversal
STRATEGY 2: Pullback Entries
Confirm trend : GREEN cloud established (bullish bias)
Wait for pullback : Price touches or crosses below Fast MA
Enter when : Price rebounds back above Fast MA with cloud still GREEN
Stop loss : Below Medium MA or recent swing low
Target : Previous high or when cloud weakens
STRATEGY 3: Momentum Confirmation
Your setup triggers : (e.g., chart pattern, support/resistance)
Check cloud color :
• GREEN = proceed with LONG
• RED = proceed with SHORT
• BLUE/ORANGE = skip or reduce size
Use gradient as confluence : Not as primary signal, but as momentum filter
Risk Management Tips:
Never enter against the cloud color (don't LONG in RED cloud)
Reduce position size during BLUE/ORANGE (transition periods)
Place stops beyond Medium MA for swing trades
Use Slow MA (200) as final trend filter - don't SHORT above it in uptrends

Directional Momentum VisualizerDescription
This script provides a color-coded column visualization of a classic momentum oscillator that measures relative strength and weakness. Instead of a single line, it uses conditional coloring to make directional changes easier to identify at a glance.
The tool is designed for clarity and adaptability, offering both column and line displays, with optional overbought, oversold, and midpoint guides.
How It Works
The script evaluates the oscillator’s value relative to a midpoint and its previous reading.
Depending on whether it’s above or below the midpoint — and whether it’s rising or falling — each column changes color:
Strong upward momentum (above midpoint and rising) → bright green
Fading upward momentum (above midpoint but falling) → pale green
Strong downward momentum (below midpoint and falling) → bright red
Fading downward momentum (below midpoint but rising) → pale red
Unchanged from the previous value → gray
This structure makes momentum shifts instantly visible without relying on line crossings or alerts.
Key Features
Color-coded momentum columns for instant visual interpretation
Adjustable midpoint, overbought, and oversold levels
Optional line overlay for smoother reference
Dynamic background highlighting in extreme zones
Works on any symbol or timeframe
Inputs Overview
Length: Controls the sensitivity of the oscillator calculation.
Source: Selects the price source (Close, HL2, etc.).
Midpoint Level: Defines the central reference level separating bullish and bearish momentum.
Show Line: Toggles visibility of the traditional line overlay.
Overbought / Oversold Levels: Define upper and lower boundaries for potential exhaustion zones.
How to Use
Add the script to your chart from the Indicators tab.
Adjust the midpoint and level settings to fit your preferred configuration.
Observe how column colors shift to reflect strength or weakness in momentum.
Use these transitions as visual context, not as trade signals.
How it Helps
This visual approach offers a clearer perspective on momentum dynamics by replacing the traditional single-line display with color-coded columns. The conditional coloring instantly reveals whether momentum is strengthening or weakening around a chosen midpoint, making trend shifts and fading pressure easier to interpret at a glance. It helps reduce visual noise and allows for quicker, more intuitive analysis of market behavior.
This tool is intended purely as a visual aid to help identify changing momentum conditions at a glance. It is not a buy or sell signal generator and should be used in combination with other forms of analysis and sound risk management.

MomentumMap — Relative Strength Visual Quadrant (RRG-Inspired)🔍 What is MomentumMap?
MomentumMap brings the concept of Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG) directly to your chart.
It helps you instantly see whether a symbol is leading, improving, weakening, or lagging — without scanning dozens of charts.
Unlike traditional RS indicators, this tool plots RS Ratio and RS Momentum together, classifying the current condition into clear quadrants.
🧩 Quadrant Logic
Zone Conditions Market Behavior
🟢 Power Zone RS > 1, Momentum > 0 Strong, leading, expanding trend
🟡 Drift Zone RS > 1, Momentum < 0 Cooling off after leadership
🔵 Lift Zone RS < 1, Momentum > 0 Early signs of strength emerging
🔴 Dead Zone RS < 1, Momentum < 0 Weak and lagging phase
Each bar’s background color reflects the active zone — giving instant visual feedback on rotation strength.
⚙️ Key Features
Benchmark-based RS Ratio & RS Momentum mapping
Auto-classified quadrant display with live background coloring
Optional Power Zone alert (with volume confirmation)
Adjustable RS smoothing and momentum periods
Works on all instruments and timeframes
💡 How to Use
Apply the indicator to any chart.
Choose your benchmark symbol (default: NSE:CNX500).
Observe the color-coded zones to assess strength rotation.
Use transitions between zones to identify:
New leadership → 🟢 Power Zone
Early rotation → 🔵 Lift Zone
Loss of strength → 🟡 Drift Zone
Weak performers → 🔴 Dead Zone
⚠️ Notes & Disclaimer
MomentumMap is an analytical visualization tool, not a buy/sell signal generator.
Choose benchmarks and timeframes that match your trading universe.
The script does not repaint and uses only confirmed bar data.
Past quadrant behavior does not guarantee future results.
