Gaussian Acceleration ArrayIndicators play a role in analyzing price action, trends, and potential reversals. Among many of these, velocity and acceleration have held a significant place due to their ability to provide insight into momentum and rate of change. This indicator takes the old calculation and tweaks it with gaussian smoothing and logarithmic function to ensure proper scaling.
A Brief on Velocity and Acceleration: The concept of velocity in trading refers to the speed at which price changes over time, while acceleration is the rate of change(ROC) of velocity. Early momentum indicators like the RSI and MACD laid foundation for understanding price velocity. However, as markets evolve so do we as technical analysts, we seek the most advanced tools.
The Acceleration/Deceleration Oscillator, introduced by Bill Williams, was one of the early attempts to measure acceleration. It helped gauge whether the market was gaining or losing momentum. Over time more specific tools like the "Awesome Oscillator"(AO) emerged, which has a set length on the datasets measured.
Gaussian Functions: Named after the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, the Gaussian function describes a bell-shaped curve, often referred to as the "normal distribution." In trading these functions are applied to smooth data and reduce noise, focusing on underlying patterns.
The Gaussian Acceleration Array leverages this function to create a smoothed representation of market acceleration.
How does it work?
This indicator calculates acceleration based the highs and lows of each dataset
Once the weighted average for velocity is determined, its rate of change essentially becomes the acceleration
It then plots multiple lines with customizable variance from the primary selected length
Practical Tips:
The Gaussian Acceleration Array offers various customizable parameters, including the sample period, smoothing function, and array variance. Experiment with these settings to tailor it to preferred timeframes and styles.
The color-coded lines and background zones make it easier to interpret the indicator at a glance. The backgrounds indicate increasing or decreasing momentum simply as a visual aid while the lines state how the velocity average is performing. Combining this with other tools can signal shifts in market dynamics.

Composite Momentum█ Introduction
The Composite Momentum Indicator is a tool we came across that we found to be useful at detecting implied tops and bottoms within quick market cycles. Its approach to analyzing momentum through a combination of moving averages and summation techniques makes it a useful addition to the range of available indicators on TradingView.
█ How It Works
This indicator operates by calculating the difference between two moving averages—one fast and one slow, which can be customized by the user. The difference between these two averages is then expressed as a percentage of the fast moving average, forming the core momentum value which is then smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average is applied. The smoothed momentum is then compared across periods to identify directional changes in direction
Furthermore, the script calculates the absolute differences between consecutive momentum values. These differences are used to determine periods of momentum acceleration or deceleration, aiming to establish potential reversals.
In addition to tracking momentum changes, the indicator sums positive and negative momentum changes separately over a user-defined period. This summation is intended to provide a clearer picture of the prevailing market bias—whether it’s leaning towards strength or weakness.
Finally, the summed-up values are normalized to a percentage scale. This normalization helps in identifying potential tops and bottoms by comparing the relative strength of the momentum within a given cycle.
█ Usage
This indicator is primarily useful for traders who focus on detecting quick cycle tops and bottoms. It provides a view of momentum shifts that can signal these extremes, though it’s important to use it in conjunction with other tools and market analysis techniques. Given its ability to highlight potential reversals, it may be of interest to those who seek to understand short-term market dynamics.

### **Introduction:**
The **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool tailored to provide insights into market momentum, identify potential trading signals, and recognize extreme market conditions. It leverages the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to strip out long-term trends from price movements, allowing traders to focus on short-term fluctuations and cyclical behavior. The indicator integrates multiple components, including a Detrended Price Oscillator, a Signal Line, a Histogram, and customizable alert levels, to deliver a robust framework for market analysis and trading decision-making.
### **Detailed Breakdown:**
#### **1. Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO):**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The DPO is designed to filter out long-term trends from the price data, isolating short-term price movements. This helps in understanding the cyclical patterns and momentum of an asset, allowing traders to detect periods of acceleration or deceleration that might be overlooked when focusing solely on long-term trends.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `dpo = close - ta.sma(close, smaLength)`
- **`close`:** The asset’s closing price for each period in the dataset.
- **`ta.sma(close, smaLength)`:** The Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices over a period defined by `smaLength`.
- The DPO is derived by subtracting the SMA value from the current closing price. This calculation reveals how much the current price deviates from the moving average, effectively detrending the price data.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Positive DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is higher than the moving average, suggesting bullish market conditions and a potential upward trend.
- **Negative DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is lower than the moving average, suggesting bearish market conditions and a potential downward trend.
- **Magnitude of DPO:** Reflects the strength of momentum. Larger positive or negative values suggest stronger momentum in the respective direction.
#### **2. Signal Line:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Signal Line is a smoothed average of the DPO, intended to act as a reference point for generating trading signals. It helps to filter out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer perspective on the prevailing trend.

- **Method**: Detects and highlights crossover and crossunder points of the smoothed line, indicating possible trend changes. This helps traders react promptly to changing market conditions.
#### Detailed Functionality
1. **Smoothing Line Calculation**:
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA)**:
- **Definition**: The SMA is a type of moving average that calculates the average of a security’s price over a specified number of periods. It smooths out price data to filter out short-term fluctuations and highlight the longer-term trend.
- **Calculation**: The SMA is computed by summing the closing prices of the chosen number of periods and then dividing by the number of periods. For example, a 20-period SMA adds the closing prices for the past 20 periods and divides by 20.
- **Purpose**: The SMA helps in identifying the direction of the trend. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA indicates a downtrend. This smoothing helps traders to avoid being misled by short-term price noise.
2. **Pivot Points Calculation**:
- **Pivot Highs and Lows**:
- **Definition**: Pivot points are significant price levels where a market trend is likely to reverse. A pivot high is the highest price over a certain period, surrounded by lower prices on both sides, while a pivot low is the lowest price surrounded by higher prices.
- **Calculation**: The SPM calculates pivot points based on a user-defined lookback period. For instance, if the lookback period is set to 3, the indicator will find the highest and lowest prices within the past 3 periods and mark these points.
- **Purpose**: Pivot points are used to identify potential support and resistance levels. Traders often use these levels to set entry and exit points, stop-loss orders, and to gauge market sentiment.
3. **Visualization**:
- **Smoothed Line Plot**:
- **Description**: The smoothed line, calculated using the SMA, is plotted on the chart to provide a visual representation of the trend. This line adjusts its color based on the trend direction, helping traders quickly assess the market condition.
- **Color Coding**: The smoothed line is colored green (upColor) when it is rising, indicating a bullish trend, and red (downColor) when it is falling, indicating a bearish trend. This color-coding helps traders visually differentiate between uptrends and downtrends.
- **Line Width**: The width of the line can be adjusted to improve visibility. A thicker line may be more noticeable, while a thinner line might provide a cleaner look on the chart.
- **Pivot Markers**:
- **Description**: Pivot highs and lows are marked on the chart with lines and labels. These markers help in visually identifying significant price levels.
- **Color and Labels**: Pivot highs are represented with green lines and labels ("H"), while pivot lows are marked with red lines and labels ("L"). This color scheme and labeling make it easy to distinguish between resistance (highs) and support (lows).
4. **Trend Change Detection**:
- **Trend Up**:
- **Detection**: The indicator identifies an upward trend change when the smoothed line crosses above its previous value. This crossover suggests a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
- **Usage**: Traders can interpret this signal as a potential buying opportunity or an indication to review and possibly adjust their trading positions to align with the new uptrend.
- **Trend Down**:
- **Detection**: A downward trend change is detected when the smoothed line crosses below its previous value. This crossunder indicates a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
- **Usage**: This signal can be used to consider selling opportunities or to reassess long positions in light of the emerging downtrend.
#### User Inputs

Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator### In-Depth Analysis of the "Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator" Indicator
---
#### Introduction to the Indicator
The "Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator" is an advanced yet user-friendly technical analysis tool designed to help traders across all levels of experience identify and follow market trends with precision. This indicator builds upon the fundamental principles of the Simple Moving Average (SMA), a cornerstone of technical analysis, to deliver a clear, visually intuitive overlay on the price chart. Through its strategic use of color-coding and customizable parameters, the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator provides traders with actionable insights into market dynamics, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
#### Core Concepts and Methodology
1. **Foundational Principle – Simple Moving Average (SMA):**
- The Simple Moving Average (SMA) is the heart of the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator. The SMA is a widely-used technical indicator that calculates the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. By smoothing out price data, the SMA helps to reduce the noise from short-term fluctuations, providing a clearer picture of the overall trend.
- In the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator, two SMAs are employed:
- **Primary SMA (oscValue):** This is applied to the closing price of the asset over a user-defined period (default is 14 periods). This SMA tracks the price closely and is sensitive to changes in market direction.
- **Smoothing SMA (oscV):** This second SMA is applied to the primary SMA, further smoothing the data and helping to filter out minor price movements that might otherwise be mistaken for trend reversals. The default period for this smoothing is 50, but it can be adjusted to suit the trader's preference.
2. **Color-Coding for Trend Visualization:**
- One of the most distinctive features of this indicator is its use of color to represent market trends. The indicator’s line changes color based on the relationship between the primary SMA and the smoothing SMA:
- **Bullish (Green):** The line turns green when the primary SMA is equal to or greater than the smoothing SMA, indicating that the market is in an upward trend.
- **Bearish (Red):** Conversely, the line turns red when the primary SMA falls below the smoothing SMA, signaling a downward trend.
- This color-coded system provides traders with an immediate, easy-to-interpret visual cue about the market’s direction, allowing for quick decision-making.
#### Detailed Explanation of Inputs
1. **Bullish Color (Default: Green #00ff00):**
- This input allows traders to customize the color that represents bullish trends on the chart. The default setting is green, a color commonly associated with upward market movement. However, traders can adjust this to any color that suits their visual preferences or matches their overall chart theme.
2. **Bearish Color (Default: Red RGB: 245, 0, 0):**
- The bearish color input determines the color of the line when the market is trending downwards. The default setting is a vivid red, signaling caution or selling opportunities. Like the bullish color, this can be customized to fit the trader’s needs.
3. **Line Thickness (Default: 5):**
- This setting controls the thickness of the line plotted by the indicator. The default thickness of 5 makes the line prominent on the chart, ensuring that the trend is easily visible even in complex or crowded chart setups. Traders can adjust the thickness to make the line thinner or thicker, depending on their visual preferences.
4. **Primary SMA Period (Value 1 - Default: 14):**
- The primary SMA period defines how many periods (e.g., days, hours) are used to calculate the moving average based on the asset’s closing prices. The default period of 14 is a balanced setting that offers a good mix of responsiveness and stability, but traders can adjust this depending on their trading style:
- **Shorter Periods (e.g., 5-10):** These make the indicator more sensitive, capturing trends more quickly but also increasing the likelihood of reacting to short-term price fluctuations or "noise."
- **Longer Periods (e.g., 20-50):** These smooth the data more, providing a more stable trend line that is less prone to whipsaws but may be slower to respond to trend changes.
5. **Smoothing SMA Period (Value 2 - Default: 50):**
- The smoothing SMA period determines how much the primary SMA is smoothed. A longer smoothing period results in a more gradual, stable line that focuses on the broader trend. The default of 50 is designed to smooth out most of the short-term fluctuations while still being responsive enough to detect significant trend shifts.
- **Customization:**
- **Shorter Smoothing Periods (e.g., 20-30):** Make the indicator more responsive, better for fast-moving markets or for traders who want to capture quick trends.
- **Longer Smoothing Periods (e.g., 70-100):** Enhance stability, ideal for long-term traders looking to avoid reacting to minor price movements.

Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator
### 🌟 **Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator (MC_Ind)** 🌟
The **"Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator"** is a powerful tool designed to help traders gauge market momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator can be your compass 🧭 in the complex world of trading.
### 🎯 **Purpose of the Indicator**
The primary goal of the **Momentum Channel Indicator** is to measure the deviation of price from its moving average (the mid-point) and to smooth this deviation to identify momentum shifts. By plotting overbought and oversold levels, the indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points where the market might change direction, offering valuable entry or exit signals.
### 🔧 **Inputs & Parameters**
Let's break down the input parameters that you can adjust to tailor the indicator to your trading style:
1. **`length1` (Channel Length) 📏**: This is the period over which the moving average (mid-point) and price deviation are calculated. The default value is 14, meaning the last 14 bars are considered for calculations.
2. **`length2` (Smoothing Length) 🧘**: This parameter controls the smoothing of the channel index, with a default value of 28. The higher the value, the smoother the momentum line, reducing noise and making trends more visible.
3. **`overbought1` & `overbought2` (Overbought Levels) 🔴**: These levels, set at 70 and 65 by default, represent the threshold above which the market is considered overbought, potentially signaling a selling opportunity.
4. **`oversold1` & `oversold2` (Oversold Levels) 🟢**: Similarly, these levels, set at -70 and -65, mark the threshold below which the market is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
### 🛠️ **How the Indicator Works**
Now, let's dive into the mechanics of the Momentum Channel Indicator:
1. **Mid-Point Calculation 🏁**: The mid-point is calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the `length1` period. This mid-point acts as a reference line from which deviations are measured.
2. **Price Deviation 📊**: The price deviation is the absolute difference between the closing price and the mid-point, smoothed over the same period (`length1`). This represents the typical price movement away from the mid-point.
3. **Channel Index 📉**: The channel index is calculated by dividing the price deviation by a fraction (0.01) of the mid-point, providing a normalized measure of how far the price has deviated from the average.
4. **Smoothing of the Channel Index 🌊**: The smoothed index (`mci1`) is calculated by applying a smoothing filter (SMA) over the channel index using the `length2` parameter. This helps reduce noise and highlight the true momentum of the market.
5. **Momentum Lines 📈**:
- **`mci1`**: The main momentum line, representing the smoothed channel index.
- **`mci2`**: A secondary momentum line, which is a further smoothed version of `mci1` using a 6-period SMA.
6. **Signal Lines 🚦**:
- **Overbought & Oversold Levels**: Horizontal lines plotted at `overbought1`, `overbought2`, `oversold1`, and `oversold2` levels serve as visual cues for overbought and oversold conditions.
- **Zero Line**: A central reference line at 0, indicating neutral momentum.
### 📈 **How to Use the Indicator**
#### 1. **Day Traders ⚡**
For day traders, the Momentum Channel Indicator can be a quick signal generator for short-term trades. Here's how you can use it:
- **Identify Entry Points 🎯**: Look for a **bullish crossover** when `mci1` crosses above `mci2` from below the `oversold1` level. This signals a potential upward reversal.
- **Spot Exit Points 🏁**: Watch for a **bearish crossunder** when `mci1` crosses below `mci2` from above the `overbought1` level. This could indicate a downward reversal.
- **Scalping 🔄**: In a fast-moving market, use the indicator to scalp by entering and exiting trades at these crossover points, with a tight stop-loss strategy.
#### 2. **Swing Traders 🎢**
Swing traders benefit from using the Momentum Channel Indicator to identify potential reversal points over a longer period:
- **Trend Confirmation 📊**: Use the smoothing effect of `mci2` to confirm trends. If `mci2` remains consistently above 0, it indicates a strong bullish trend, and vice versa.
- **Overbought/Oversold Reversals 🚀**: Enter trades when the price approaches the overbought or oversold levels (`overbought1`, `oversold1`). Combine this with other indicators, such as RSI, for more reliable signals.
- **Hold Positions 🧗**: Let the momentum lines guide your hold strategy. If the momentum lines stay aligned (both `mci1` and `mci2` are moving in the same direction), consider holding the position until a crossover or reversal signal appears.
#### 3. **Long-Term Investors 🏦**
For long-term investors, the Momentum Channel Indicator helps in fine-tuning entry and exit points based on broader market momentum:
- **Divergence Analysis 📐**: Look for divergence between the price and the momentum lines. If the price makes new highs but the momentum lines do not, it could signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
- **Strategic Entry/Exit 🏹**: Use the `overbought2` and `oversold2` levels to strategically enter or exit positions. These secondary levels provide an early warning before the market reaches extreme conditions.
- **Risk Management 🛡️**: The indicator can also be used as part of a risk management strategy by identifying when to reduce exposure in overbought markets or increase exposure in oversold markets.
### 🖼️ **Visualization & Interpretation**
The Momentum Channel Indicator is visually intuitive, with each component providing key insights:

It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate upper and lower bands, which shift according to market volatility. This script takes it further by combining it with the RSI and Volume filtering to provide more accurate signals.
- **Direction Sensitivity:** The SuperTrend here is not static. It adjusts based on the direction of the previous SuperTrend value, ensuring that the indicator remains relevant even in choppy markets.
2. **RSI Integration for Overbought/Oversold Conditions 💹**
- **RSI Calculation:** The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is incorporated to identify overbought and oversold conditions, adding an extra layer of precision. This helps in filtering out false signals and ensuring that trades are taken only in optimal conditions.
- **Customizable RSI Settings:** The RSI settings are fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust the RSI length and the overbought/oversold levels according to their trading style and market.
3. **Volume Filtering for Enhanced Signal Confirmation 📉**
- **Volume Multiplier:** This unique feature integrates volume analysis, ensuring that signals are only generated when there is sufficient market participation. The Volume Multiplier can be adjusted to filter out weak signals that occur during low-volume periods.
- **Optional Volume Filtering:** Traders have the flexibility to turn the volume filter on or off, depending on their preference or market conditions. This makes the indicator versatile, allowing it to be used across different asset classes and market conditions.
4. **Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) for Market Pressure Analysis 💥**
- **Squeeze Detection:** The Squeeze Momentum Indicator detects periods of market compression and expansion. This script goes beyond the traditional Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels by incorporating true range calculations, offering a more nuanced view of market momentum.
- **Customizable Squeeze Settings:** The lengths and multipliers for both Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels are customizable, giving traders the flexibility to fine-tune the indicator based on their specific needs.
5. **Visual and Aesthetic Customization 🎨**
- **Color-Coding for Clarity:** The indicator is color-coded to make it easy to interpret signals. Bullish trends are marked with a vibrant green color, while bearish trends are highlighted in red. Neutral or unconfirmed signals are displayed in softer tones to reduce noise.
- **Histogram Visualization:** The primary trend direction and strength are displayed as a histogram, making it easy to visualize the market's momentum at a glance. The height and color of the bars provide immediate feedback on the strength and direction of the trend.
6. **Alerts for Real-Time Trading 🚨**
- **Custom Alerts:** The script is equipped with custom alerts that notify traders when a buy or sell signal is generated. These alerts can be configured to send notifications through various channels, including email, SMS, or directly to the trading platform.
- **Immediate Reaction:** The alerts are triggered based on the confluence of SuperTrend, RSI, and Volume signals, ensuring that traders are notified only when the most robust trading opportunities arise.
7. **Comprehensive Input Customization ⚙️**
- **SuperTrend Settings:** Adjust the ATR length and factor to control the sensitivity of the SuperTrend. This allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions, whether you're trading a volatile cryptocurrency or a more stable stock.
- **RSI Settings:** Customize the RSI length and thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions, enabling you to tailor the indicator to your specific trading strategy.
- **Volume Settings:** The Volume Multiplier and the option to toggle the volume filter provide an additional layer of customization, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator based on market liquidity and participation.
- **Squeeze Momentum Settings:** The lengths and multipliers for Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels can be adjusted to detect different levels of market compression, providing flexibility for both short-term and long-term traders.
### How It Works: A Deep Dive Into the Mechanics 🛠️
1. **SuperTrend Calculation:**
- The SuperTrend is calculated using the ATR, which measures market volatility. The indicator creates upper and lower bands around the price, adjusting these bands based on the current level of market volatility. The direction of the trend is determined by the position of the price relative to these bands.
- The script enhances the standard SuperTrend by ensuring that the bands do not flip-flop too quickly, reducing the chances of false signals in a choppy market. The direction is confirmed by checking the position of the close relative to the previous band, making the trend detection more reliable.
2. **RSI Integration:**
- The RSI is calculated over a customizable length and compared to user-defined overbought and oversold levels. When the RSI crosses below the oversold level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bullish trend, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the RSI crosses above the overbought level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bearish trend, a sell signal is triggered.
- The combination of RSI with SuperTrend ensures that trades are only taken when there is a strong confluence of signals, reducing the chances of entering trades during weak or indecisive market phases.
3. **Volume Filtering:**
- The script calculates the average volume over a 20-period simple moving average. The volume filter ensures that buy and sell signals are only valid when the current volume exceeds a multiple of this average, which can be adjusted by the user. This feature helps filter out weak signals that might occur during low-volume periods, such as just before a major news event or during after-hours trading.
- The volume filter is particularly useful in markets where volume spikes are common, as it ensures that signals are only generated when there is significant market interest in the direction of the trend.
4. **Squeeze Momentum:**
- The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) adds a layer of market pressure analysis. The script calculates Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, detecting when the market is in a "squeeze" — a period of low volatility that typically precedes a significant price move.
- When the Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels, the market is in a squeeze (compression phase). This is often a precursor to a breakout or breakdown. The script colors the histogram bars black during this phase, indicating a potential for a strong move. Once the squeeze is released, the bars are colored according to the direction of the SuperTrend, signaling a potential entry point.
5. **Integration and Signal Generation:**
- The script brings together the SuperTrend, RSI, Volume, and Squeeze Momentum to generate highly accurate buy and sell signals. A buy signal is triggered when the SuperTrend is bullish, the RSI indicates oversold conditions, and the volume filter confirms strong market participation. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the SuperTrend is bearish, the RSI indicates overbought conditions, and the volume filter is met.
- The combination of these elements ensures that the signals are robust, reducing the likelihood of entering trades during weak or indecisive market conditions.
### Practical Applications: How to Use the MultiTrend Squeeze System 📅
1. **Day Trading:**
- For day traders, this indicator provides quick and reliable signals that can be used to enter and exit trades multiple times within a day. The volume filter ensures that you are trading during the most liquid times of the day, increasing the chances of successful trades. The Squeeze Momentum aspect helps you catch breakouts or breakdowns, which are common in intraday trading.
2. **Swing Trading:**
- Swing traders can use the MultiTrend Squeeze System to identify longer-term trends. By adjusting the ATR length and factor, you can make the SuperTrend more sensitive to catch longer-term moves. The RSI and Squeeze Momentum aspects help you time your entries and exits, ensuring that you get in early on a trend and exit before it reverses.
3. **Scalping:**
- For scalpers, the quick signals provided by this system, especially in combination with the volume filter, make it easier to take small profits repeatedly. The histogram bars give you a clear visual cue of the market's momentum, making it easier to scalp effectively.
4. **Position Trading:**
- Even position traders can benefit from this indicator by using it to confirm long-term trends. By adjusting the settings to less sensitive parameters, you can ensure that you are only entering trades when a strong trend is confirmed. The Squeeze Momentum indicator will help you stay in the trade during periods of consolidation, waiting for the next big move.

Heartbeat Momentum Strategy BetaHeartbeat Momentum Strategy Beta
Overview
The Heartbeat Momentum Strategy is an innovative approach to market analysis that draws inspiration from the rhythmic patterns of a heartbeat. This strategy aims to identify significant momentum shifts in the market by comparing short-term and long-term moving averages, analogous to detecting irregularities in a heartbeat.
Key Concepts
Market Heartbeat: The difference between short-term and long-term moving averages, representing the market's current 'pulse'.
Heartbeat Volatility: Measured by the standard deviation of the market heartbeat.
Momentum Signals: Generated when the heartbeat deviates significantly from its normal range.
How It Works
Calculates a short-term moving average (default 5 periods) and a long-term moving average (default 20 periods) of the closing price.
Computes the 'heartbeat' by subtracting the long-term MA from the short-term MA.
Measures the volatility of the heartbeat using its standard deviation over the long-term period.
Generates buy signals when the heartbeat exceeds 2 standard deviations above its mean.
Generates sell signals when the heartbeat falls 2 standard deviations below its mean.
Indicator Components
Blue Line: Short-term moving average
Red Line: Long-term moving average
Green Triangles: Buy signals
Red Triangles: Sell signals
Background Color: Light green during buy signals, light red during sell signals
Strategy Parameters
Short MA Window: The period for the short-term moving average (default: 5)
Long MA Window: The period for the long-term moving average (default: 20)
Standard Deviation Threshold: The number of standard deviations to trigger a signal (default: 2.0)
Interpretation
Buy Signal: Indicates a potential strong upward momentum shift. Consider opening long positions or closing short positions.
Sell Signal: Suggests a potential strong downward momentum shift. Consider opening short positions or closing long positions.
No Signal: The market is moving within its normal rhythm. Maintain current positions or look for other entry opportunities.
Customization
Users can adjust the strategy parameters to suit different assets, timeframes, or trading styles:
Decrease the MA windows for more frequent signals (more suitable for shorter timeframes).
Increase the MA windows for fewer, potentially more significant signals (better for longer timeframes).
Adjust the Standard Deviation Threshold to fine-tune sensitivity (lower for more signals, higher for fewer but potentially stronger signals).
Risk Management
While this strategy can provide valuable insights into market momentum, it should not be used in isolation:
Always use stop-loss orders to manage potential losses.
Consider the overall market context and other technical/fundamental factors.
Be aware of potential false signals, especially in ranging or highly volatile markets.
Backtest and forward-test the strategy with different parameters before live trading.
Conclusion
The Heartbeat Momentum Strategy offers a unique perspective on market movements by treating price action like a heartbeat. By identifying significant deviations from the normal market rhythm, it aims to capture strong momentum shifts while filtering out market noise. As with any trading strategy, use it as part of a comprehensive trading plan and always practice sound risk management.

RSI Slope Filtered Signals [UAlgo]The "RSI Slope Filtered Signals " is a technical analysis tool designed to enhance the accuracy of RSI (Relative Strength Index) signals by incorporating slope analysis. This indicator not only considers the RSI value but also analyzes the slope of the RSI over a specified number of bars, providing a more refined signal that accounts for the momentum and trend strength. By utilizing both positive and negative slope arrays, the indicator dynamically adjusts its thresholds, ensuring that signals are responsive to changing market conditions. This tool is particularly useful for traders looking to identify overbought and oversold conditions with a higher degree of precision, filtering out noise and providing clear visual cues for potential market reversals.
🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Slope Analysis: Measures the slope of RSI over a customizable number of bars, offering insights into the momentum and trend direction.
Adaptive Thresholds: Uses historical slope data to calculate dynamic thresholds, adjusting signal sensitivity based on market conditions.
Normalized Slope Calculation: Normalizes the slope values to provide a consistent measure across different market conditions, making the indicator more versatile.
Clear Signal Visualization: The indicator plots both positive and negative normalized slopes with color gradients, visually representing the strength of the trend.
Overbought and Oversold Signals: Plots overbought and oversold signals directly on the chart when the calculated value reaches the user-specified threshold, helping traders identify potential reversal points.
Customizable Settings: Allows users to adjust the RSI length, slope measurement bars, and lookback periods, providing flexibility to tailor the indicator to different trading strategies.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
The "RSI Slope Filtered Signals " indicator is designed to be easy to interpret. Here's how you can use it:
Normalized Slope: The indicator plots the normalized slope of the RSI, with values above zero indicating positive momentum and values below zero indicating negative momentum. A higher positive slope suggests a strong upward trend, while a deeper negative slope indicates a strong downward trend.
Reversal Signals: The indicator plots several horizontal lines at different thresholds (+3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2, -3). These levels are used to gauge the strength of the momentum based on the normalized slope. For example, a normalized slope crossing above the +2 threshold may indicate a strong bullish trend, while crossing below the -2 threshold may suggest a strong bearish trend. These thresholds help in understanding the intensity of the current trend and provide context for interpreting the indicator's signals.
This indicator generates overbought and oversold signals not solely based on the RSI entering extreme levels (above 70 for overbought and below 30 for oversold), but also by considering the behavior of the normalized slope relative to specific thresholds. Specifically, the Overbought Signal (🔽) is triggered when the RSI is above 70 and the normalized slope from the previous bar is greater than or equal to the upper threshold, with the current slope being lower than the previous slope, indicating a potential bearish reversal as momentum may be slowing down.
Similarly, the Oversold Signal (🔼) is generated when the RSI is below 30 and the normalized slope from the previous bar is less than or equal to the lower threshold, with the current slope being higher than the previous slope, signaling a potential bullish reversal as the downward momentum may be weakening.
Area Plots: The indicator also plots the positive and negative slopes as filled areas, providing a quick visual cue for the strength and direction of the trend. Green areas represent positive slopes (upward momentum), while red areas represent negative slopes (downward momentum).
By combining these elements, the "RSI Slope Filtered Signals " provides a comprehensive view of the market's momentum, helping traders make more informed decisions by filtering out false signals and focusing on the significant trends.

Six PillarsGeneral Overview
The "Six Pillars" indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that combines six different technical analysis methods to provide a holistic view of market conditions.
These six pillars are:
Trend
Momentum
Directional Movement (DM)
Stochastic
Fractal
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The indicator calculates the state of each pillar and presents them in an easy-to-read table format. It also compares the current timeframe with a user-defined comparison timeframe to offer a multi-timeframe analysis.
A key feature of this indicator is the Confluence Strength meter. This unique metric quantifies the overall agreement between the six pillars across both timeframes, providing a score out of 100. A higher score indicates stronger agreement among the pillars, suggesting a more reliable trading signal.
I also included a visual cue in the form of candle coloring. When all six pillars agree on a bullish or bearish direction, the candle is colored green or red, respectively. This feature allows traders to quickly identify potential high-probability trade setups.
The Six Pillars indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes, offering a comparison between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe. This multi-timeframe analysis provides traders with a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
Origin and Inspiration
The Six Pillars indicator was inspired by the work of Dr. Barry Burns, author of "Trend Trading for Dummies" and his concept of "5 energies." (Trend, Momentum, Cycle, Support/Resistance, Scale) I was intrigued by Dr. Burns' approach to analyzing market dynamics and decided to put my own twist upon his ideas.
Comparing the Six Pillars to Dr. Burns' 5 energies, you'll notice I kept Trend and Momentum, but I swapped out Cycle, Support/Resistance, and Scale for Directional Movement, Stochastic, Fractal, and On-Balance Volume. These changes give you a more dynamic view of market strength, potential reversals, and volume confirmation all in one package.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The standout feature of the Six Pillars indicator is its Confluence Strength meter. This feature calculates the overall agreement between the six pillars, providing traders with a clear, numerical representation of signal strength.
The strength is calculated by considering the state of each pillar in both the current and comparison timeframes, resulting in a score out of 100.
Here's how it calculates the strength:
It considers the state of each pillar in both the current timeframe and the comparison timeframe.
For each pillar, the absolute value of its state is taken. This means that both strongly bullish (2) and strongly bearish (-2) states contribute equally to the strength.
The absolute values for all six pillars are summed up for both timeframes, resulting in two sums: current_sum and alternate_sum.
These sums are then added together to get a total_sum.
The total_sum is divided by 24 (the maximum possible sum if all pillars were at their strongest states in both timeframes) and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
The result is rounded to the nearest integer and capped at a minimum of 1.
This calculation method ensures that the Confluence Strength meter takes into account not only the current timeframe but also the comparison timeframe, providing a more robust measure of overall market sentiment. The resulting score, ranging from 1 to 100, gives traders a clear and intuitive measure of how strongly the pillars agree, with higher scores indicating stronger potential signals.
This approach to measuring signal strength is unique in that it doesn't just rely on a single aspect of price action or volume. Instead, it takes into account multiple factors, providing a more robust and reliable indication of potential market moves. The higher the Confluence Strength score, the more confident traders can be in the signal.
The Confluence Strength meter helps traders in several ways:
It provides a quick and easy way to gauge the overall market sentiment.
It helps prioritize potential trades by identifying the strongest signals.
It can be used as a filter to avoid weaker setups and focus on high-probability trades.
It offers an additional layer of confirmation for other trading strategies or indicators.
By combining the Six Pillars analysis with the Confluence Strength meter, I've created a powerful tool that not only identifies potential trading opportunities but also quantifies their strength, giving traders a significant edge in their decision-making process.
How the Pillars Work (What Determines Bullish or Bearish)
While developing this indicator, I selected and configured six key components that work together to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. Each pillar is set up to complement the others, creating a synergistic effect that offers traders a more nuanced understanding of price action and volume.
Trend Pillar: Based on two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - a fast EMA (8 period) and a slow EMA (21 period). It determines the trend by comparing these EMAs, with stronger trends indicated when the fast EMA is significantly above or below the slow EMA.
Directional Movement (DM) Pillar: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) with a default period of 14. It measures trend strength, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. It also considers the Positive and Negative Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to determine trend direction.
Momentum Pillar: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with customizable fast (12), slow (26), and signal (9) lengths. It compares the MACD line to the signal line to determine momentum strength and direction.
Stochastic Pillar: Employs the Stochastic oscillator with a default period of 13. It identifies overbought conditions (above 80) and oversold conditions (below 20), with intermediate zones between 60-80 and 20-40.
Fractal Pillar: Uses Williams' Fractal indicator with a default period of 3. It identifies potential reversal points by looking for specific high and low patterns over the given period.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) Pillar: Incorporates On-Balance Volume with three EMAs - short (3), medium (13), and long (21) periods. It assesses volume trends by comparing these EMAs.
Each pillar outputs a state ranging from -2 (strongly bearish) to 2 (strongly bullish), with 0 indicating a neutral state. This standardized output allows for easy comparison and aggregation of signals across all pillars.
Users can customize various parameters for each pillar, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions. The multi-timeframe comparison feature also allows users to compare pillar states between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe, providing additional context for decision-making.
Design
From a design standpoint, I've put considerable effort into making the Six Pillars indicator visually appealing and user-friendly. The clean and minimalistic design is a key feature that sets this indicator apart.
I've implemented a sleek table layout that displays all the essential information in a compact and organized manner. The use of a dark background (#030712) for the table creates a sleek look that's easy on the eyes, especially during extended trading sessions.
The overall design philosophy focuses on presenting complex information in a simple, intuitive format, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
The color scheme is carefully chosen to provide clear visual cues:
White text for headers ensures readability
Green (#22C55E) for bullish signals
Blue (#3B82F6) for neutral states
Red (#EF4444) for bearish signals
This color coding extends to the candle coloring, making it easy to spot when all pillars agree on a bullish or bearish outlook.
I've also incorporated intuitive symbols (↑↑, ↑, →, ↓, ↓↓) to represent the different states of each pillar, allowing for quick interpretation at a glance.
The table layout is thoughtfully organized, with clear sections for the current and comparison timeframes. The Confluence Strength meter is prominently displayed, providing traders with an immediate sense of signal strength.
To enhance usability, I've added tooltips to various elements, offering additional information and explanations when users hover over different parts of the indicator.
How to Use This Indicator
The Six Pillars indicator is a versatile tool that can be used for various trading strategies. Here are some general usage guidelines and specific scenarios:
General Usage Guidelines:
Pay attention to the Confluence Strength meter. Higher values indicate stronger agreement among the pillars and potentially more reliable signals.
Use the multi-timeframe comparison to confirm signals across different time horizons.
Look for alignment between the current timeframe and comparison timeframe pillars for stronger signals.
One of the strengths of this indicator is it can let you know when markets are sideways – so in general you can know to avoid entering when the Confluence Strength is low, indicating disagreement among the pillars.

20-day High BreakoutOverview:
The 20-day High Breakout Indicator is a very simple yet powerful tool designed for traders seeking to capitalize on significant price movements in the stock market. This indicator identifies potential buy and sell signals based on a stock's 20-day high breakout levels, making it an essential addition to your trading strategy.
Key Features:
Swing Period Input: Customize the swing period to your preferred number of days, with a default of 20 days, allowing flexibility based on your trading style.
Trailing Stop Level: Automatically calculates the trailing stop level based on the highest high and lowest low within the defined swing period, helping to manage risk and lock in profits.
Buy and Sell Signals: Generates clear buy signals when the price crosses above the trailing stop level and sell signals when the price crosses below, enabling timely entries and exits.
Visual Indicators: Plots buy signals as green upward triangles below the bars and sell signals as red downward triangles above the bars, providing easy-to-interpret visual cues directly on the chart.
How It Works:
Resistance and Support Levels: The indicator calculates the highest high (resistance) and lowest low (support) over the defined swing period.
Swing Direction: It determines the market direction by comparing the current closing price to the previous resistance and support levels.
Trailing Stop Calculation: Depending on the market direction, the trailing stop level is set to either the support or resistance level.
Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover of the closing price and the trailing stop level, filtered to ensure only valid signals are displayed.
Visual Representation: The trailing stop level is plotted as a line, and buy/sell signals are marked with respective shapes for easy identification.
Usage:
Trend Following: Ideal for traders looking to follow trends and catch significant breakouts in the stock price.
Risk Management: Helps in managing risk by providing a trailing stop level that adjusts with market movements.
Visual Clarity: The clear visual signals make it easy for traders to interpret and act upon the indicator's signals.
Add the 20-day High Breakout Indicator to your TradingView charts to enhance your trading strategy and gain an edge in identifying profitable trading opportunities.
KNN OscillatorOverview
The KNN Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals and market momentum. Using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, this oscillator normalizes KNN values to create a dynamic and responsive indicator. The oscillator line changes color to reflect the market sentiment, providing clear visual cues for trading decisions.
Key Features
Dynamic Color Oscillator: The line changes color based on the oscillator value – green for positive, red for negative, and grey for neutral.
Advanced KNN Algorithm: Utilizes the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm for precise trend detection.
Normalized Values: Ensures the oscillator values are normalized to align with the stock price range, making it applicable to various assets.
Easy Integration: Can be easily added to any TradingView chart for enhanced analysis.
How It Works
The KNN Oscillator leverages the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm to calculate the average distance of the nearest neighbors over a specified period. These values are then normalized to match the stock price range, ensuring they are comparable across different assets. The oscillator value is derived by taking the difference between the normalized KNN values and the source price. The line's color changes dynamically to provide an immediate visual indication of the market's state:
Green: Positive values indicate upward momentum.
Red: Negative values indicate downward momentum.
Grey: Neutral values indicate a stable or consolidating market.
Usage Instructions
Trend Reversal Detection: Use the color changes to identify potential trend reversals. A shift from red to green suggests a bullish reversal, while a shift from green to red indicates a bearish reversal.
Momentum Analysis: The oscillator's value and color help gauge market momentum. Strong positive values (green) indicate strong upward momentum, while strong negative values (red) indicate strong downward momentum.
Market Sentiment: The dynamic color changes provide an easy-to-understand visual representation of market sentiment, helping traders make informed decisions quickly.
Confirmation Tool: Use the KNN Oscillator in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your trades.
Scalability: Applicable to various timeframes and asset classes, making it a versatile tool for all types of traders.
Median Momentum with Buy/Sell Signals and Bar ColorMomentum Calculation:
Momentum is calculated as the difference between the current close price and the close price momentum_length periods ago: momentum = close - close .
Highest and Lowest Momentum:
The highest and lowest momentum values over the specified length are calculated.
Median Momentum:
The median momentum is calculated as the average of the highest and lowest momentum values.
Color Setting:
medianColor is set based on whether the momentum is above, below, or equal to the median momentum.
barColor is set similarly for bar coloring.
Plotting:
The script plots the median momentum and the actual momentum values.
Buy and sell signals are generated when momentum crosses over or under the median momentum.
The script also plots the buy and sell signals with arrows on the chart.
