Smart Money Trap SignalSmart Money Trap Signal – Indicator Description
The Smart Money Trap Signal is a precision-based trading tool designed to identify areas where institutional traders (smart money) are likely to trap retail traders through false breakouts and liquidity grabs. These traps often occur near key highs and lows, where retail traders are lured into trades just before price reverses sharply.
🔍 Key Features:
Liquidity Sweep Detection
Identifies false breakouts of recent swing highs or lows, signaling potential liquidity grabs by large players.
Reversal Confirmation
Confirms the trap using a classic price action reversal pattern (bullish or bearish engulfing), helping filter out weak signals.
Optional Volume Spike Filter
Allows additional confirmation based on a significant spike in volume, indicating potential institutional involvement.
Buy and Sell Trap Signals
🔴 Smart Money Short (SMT↓) – Triggered when price sweeps a high and reverses down.
🟢 Smart Money Long (SMT↑) – Triggered when price sweeps a low and reverses up.
Alerts & Labels
Real-time alert conditions and on-chart labels to help you catch setups without missing opportunities.
📈 How to Use:
Apply on Higher Timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for cleaner signals.
Look for SMT signals at key supply/demand zones or market structure points.
Combine with your existing trading strategy, such as order blocks or break of structure (BoS), for higher accuracy.
Use volume filter only if you're analyzing markets where volume data is reliable.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This tool is meant to assist with trade identification, not trade execution. Always use proper risk management and validate setups with your trading plan.

Historical Volatility with HV Average & High/Low TrendlinesHere's a detailed description of your Pine Script indicator:
---
### 📊 **Indicator Title**: Historical Volatility with HV Average & High/Low Trendlines
**Version**: Pine Script v5
**Purpose**:
This script visualizes market volatility using **Historical Volatility (HV)** and enhances analysis by:
* Showing a **moving average** of HV to identify volatility trends.
* Marking **high and low trendlines** to highlight extremes in volatility over a selected period.
---
### 🔧 **Inputs**:
1. **HV Length (`length`)**:
Controls how many bars are used to calculate Historical Volatility.
*(Default: 10)*
2. **Average Length (`avgLength`)**:
Number of bars used for calculating the moving average of HV.
*(Default: 20)*
3. **Trendline Lookback Period (`trendLookback`)**:
Number of bars to look back for calculating the highest and lowest values of HV.
*(Default: 100)*
---
### 📈 **Core Calculations**:
1. **Historical Volatility (`hv`)**:
$$
HV = 100 \times \text{stdev}\left(\ln\left(\frac{\text{close}}{\text{close} }\right), \text{length}\right) \times \sqrt{\frac{365}{\text{period}}}
$$
* Measures how much the stock price fluctuates.
* Adjusts annualization factor depending on whether it's intraday or daily.
2. **HV Moving Average (`hvAvg`)**:
A simple moving average (SMA) of HV over the selected `avgLength`.
3. **HV High & Low Trendlines**:
* `hvHigh`: Highest HV value over the last `trendLookback` bars.
* `hvLow`: Lowest HV value over the last `trendLookback` bars.
---
### 🖍️ **Visual Plots**:
* 🔵 **HV**: Blue line showing raw Historical Volatility.
* 🔴 **HV Average**: Red line (thicker) indicating smoothed HV trend.
* 🟢 **HV High**: Green horizontal line marking volatility peaks.
* 🟠 **HV Low**: Orange horizontal line marking volatility lows.
---
### ✅ **Usage**:
* **High HV**: Indicates increased risk or potential breakout conditions.
* **Low HV**: Suggests consolidation or calm markets.
* **Cross of HV above Average**: May signal rising volatility (e.g., before breakout).
* **Touching High/Low Levels**: Helps identify volatility extremes and possible reversal zones.
---
Let me know if you’d like to add:
* Alerts when HV crosses its average.
* Shaded bands or histogram visualization.
* Bollinger Bands for HV.

Master [Trade Snipers]✅ How It Works
The Master indicator is a custom-developed trend and signal tool based on a modified range filter algorithm, specifically designed for clarity, non-repainting signals, and actionable trade execution.
🔧 1. Custom Adaptive Range Filter (Original Logic)
At its core is a custom-built filter that adapts to price volatility. Unlike standard MAs or public-domain range indicators, this version:
(1) Uses a double-smooth EMA logic on absolute price changes.
(2)Multiplies the range by an Impact Factor, giving a dynamic width.
(3) Applies a custom filter algorithm that limits noise and locks on trend movement.
This logic was modified from the concept of range-based filters, but entirely re-engineered to serve trend-following and TP triggering.
🟩 2. Visual Trend Zones (Upper/Lower Lines)
The filtered value generates two dynamic lines:
(1)One above the filter
(2)One below the filter
These create a color-filled “trend tunnel”, making it easy to identify:
(3)🔵 Uptrend (blue fill)
(4)🔴 Downtrend (red fill)
(5)🟡 Sideways market (no fill or neutral color)
These visual cues allow instant identification of market direction without reading complex data
📈 3. Smart Buy/Sell Signals (Confirmed, Non-Repainting ✅)
(1)🚀 Smart Buy is triggered when a confirmed uptrend begins (filter shifts upward with a
new confirmation).
(2)🔻 Smart Sell appears at the start of a confirmed downtrend.
(3)Sideways filters out choppy signals, reducing whipsaws.
✅ All signals are confirmed only after the candle closes (barstate.isconfirmed is used), meaning:
🔒 No repainting or false previews — 100% reliable on live charting.
💰 4. Take Profit System (Unique Utility)
This indicator tracks the entry price after a signal, and auto-detects when a Take Profit level
(in pips) is reached.
(1)💰 Book Profit alert is triggered above/below the candle.
(2)Helps secure gains without relying on external bots or platforms.
🔔 5. Real-Time Alerts Included
All alerts are built-in for automation:
(1)🚀 Smart Buy
(2)🔻 Smart Sell
(3)💰 Book Profit (Buy/Sell)

Previous 2 Days High/LowCan you give me a summary of this indicator
The "Previous 2 Days High/Low" indicator, written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView, plots horizontal lines representing the combined high and low prices of the previous two trading days on a chart. Here's a summary of its functionality, purpose, and key features:
Purpose
The indicator helps traders identify significant price levels by displaying the highest high and lowest low from the previous two days, which can act as potential support or resistance levels. These levels are plotted as lines that extend across the current trading day, making it easier to visualize key price zones for trading decisions.
Key Features
Calculates Combined High and Low:
Retrieves the high and low prices of the previous day and the day before using request.security on the daily timeframe ("D").
Computes the combined high as the maximum of the two days' highs and the combined low as the minimum of the two days' lows.
Dynamic Line Plotting:
Draws two horizontal lines:
Red Line: Represents the combined high, plotted at the highest price of the previous two days.
Green Line: Represents the combined low, plotted at the lowest price of the previous two days.
Lines are created at the start of a new trading day and extended to the right edge of the chart using line.set_x2, ensuring they span the entire current day.
Labels for Clarity:
Adds labels to the right of the chart, displaying the exact price values of the combined high ("Combined High: ") and combined low ("Combined Low: ").
Labels are updated to move with the lines, maintaining alignment at the current bar.
Clutter Prevention:
Deletes old lines and labels at the start of each new trading day to avoid overlapping or excessive objects on the chart.
Dynamic Requests:
Uses dynamic_requests=true in the indicator() function to allow request.security calls within conditional blocks (if ta.change(time("D"))), enabling daily data retrieval within the script's logic.

Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)
Description
The "Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)" is a Pine Script indicator designed to calculate the historical volatility (HV) of assets without relying on options data. This tool is particularly useful for markets like forex, indices, or stocks where options trading might be limited or unavailable. It provides a customizable way to measure volatility based on historical price movements, with options to adjust the calculation period, trading days per year, and use an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) for enhanced sensitivity to recent data.
This indicator can be used standalone to visualize volatility trends or integrated with other scripts (e.g., option pricing models) to provide a manual input for implied volatility (IV).
Features
Customizable Period: Adjust the number of days (5 to 365) for volatility calculation.
Flexible Annualization: Set the number of trading days per year (default 252) to suit different markets (e.g., 365 for forex).
EWMA Option: Toggle between standard deviation and EWMA for a more responsive volatility measure.
Trend Adjustment: Removes the influence of price trends using an EMA-based detrending method.
Visual Output: Displays volatility as a histogram and labels the latest value on the chart.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Load the indicator onto your chart via the Pine Script editor or the Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
Period for Calculation: Set the lookback period (e.g., 30 days) to calculate volatility.
Trading Days per Year: Adjust for your market (e.g., 252 for stocks, 365 for continuous markets).
Use EWMA: Enable for a weighted approach focusing on recent volatility.
Interpret the Results: The histogram shows volatility in decimal form (e.g., 0.03136 = 3.136%), and the label displays the percentage on the last bar.
Integration: Use the calculated volatility value (in decimal form) as a manual IV input in other scripts, such as option pricing models.
Example
For the DXY index, with a 60-day period and 252 trading days per year, the indicator might output a volatility of 0.03136 (3.136%). You can input this value into an options model to estimate standard deviation levels, adjusting for the days to expiry.
Notes
Accuracy: The indicator provides a reliable estimate of historical volatility, with improvements like trend removal and EWMA. For precision, use a period that matches your trading horizon (e.g., 30-90 days).
Limitations: Volatility is based on historical data and may not reflect future market conditions or implied volatility from options.
Compatibility: Tested on TradingView as of June 16, 2025. Ensure sufficient historical data is available for the chosen period.
Suggestions
Increase the period for volatile assets to smooth out noise.

Option Range Projector PRO (with Alerts)Indicator Name: Option Range Projector PRO (with Alerts)
Short Description
This is a powerful and flexible tool for traders that visualizes expected price movement ranges based on option pricing principles and statistical deviations. The indicator plots standard deviation levels (Sigmas) and boundaries calculated from the price of an options Straddle, providing a unique insight into market volatility expectations.
It is ideal for options traders, as well as those who trade futures or spot assets and want to gain an edge by understanding where the market anticipates price boundaries on a specific date.
Core Concepts
The indicator is based on three key ideas:
Standard Deviation (Sigma, σ): In statistics, this is a measure of value dispersion. In trading, when applied to prices, standard deviation levels show the probable range within which the price is expected to remain until a specific date (expiration).
±1σ (1 Sigma): Approximately 68.2% probability that the price will stay within this range.
±2σ (2 Sigmas): Approximately 95.4% probability. These levels often act as strong support/resistance.
±3σ (3 Sigmas): Approximately 99.7% probability. Reaching these levels is a statistically rare event.
Implied Volatility (IV): This is a key component. IV is the market's forecast of the asset's future volatility. It is derived from current option prices and reflects how significant the price movements are expected to be by traders. The higher the IV, the wider the calculated ranges will be.
Straddle-Based Levels: A straddle is an options strategy involving the simultaneous purchase of a Call and a Put option with the same strike price and expiration date. The cost of this combination (Call + Put) directly reflects the market's expected price movement in points. Our indicator uses this value to construct alternative, highly accurate boundaries of the expected range.
Key Features
Flexible Expiration Choice: Easily switch between standard contracts (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly) or set any custom number of days to expiration (DTE).
Dual Volatility Calculation Mode: Use automatic calculation based on historical data or enter a precise IV value manually (e.g., from your broker's terminal) for maximum accuracy.
Two Types of Predictive Levels: Visualize classic standard deviations (Sigmas) and/or levels calculated from the Straddle price for a comprehensive analysis.
Expiration Comparison: Enable the display of additional levels for a different expiration date to visually compare short-term and long-term market expectations.
"Greeks" Calculation: The indicator calculates and displays key option Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega), helping to deepen the understanding of an option position's characteristics.
Informative Table: All key data—ATM price, IV, DTE, level prices, Greeks, and option prices—are consolidated into one clear table for quick analysis.
Customizable Alerts: Get instant notifications directly in TradingView when the price crosses any of the important levels (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ).
Full Visual Customization: Control colors, line thickness, labels, and zone fills to adapt the indicator to your trading style.
How to Use (Settings)
Price Settings:
Auto-detect ATM Price: When enabled, the indicator will use the current closing price as the At-The-Money (ATM) price.
Manual ATM Price: If auto mode is disabled, you can set a precise ATM price manually.
Volatility Settings:
Auto-calculate IV: Calculates historical volatility over a specified period. Useful if you don't have access to real-time IV.
Manual IV Value: (Recommended for accuracy). Enter the Implied Volatility (IV) value for the desired strike from your brokerage terminal or analytical services here.
Expiration:
Contract Type: Choose one of the standard terms (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly) or "Custom" to use a manual day input.
Days to Expiration: Active only for the "Custom" type.
Show Multiple Expirations: Enables a second set of levels with a different term for comparison.
Straddle Boundaries:
Use Manual Input: Allows you to enter the precise Call and Put Settle prices from the official exchange summary (e.g., from the CME website). This provides the most accurate boundaries based on real market prices.
Trading Ideas and Application
Mean Reversion Trading: The ±2σ and ±3σ levels often act as strong overbought/oversold zones. A price reaching these extreme values has a high statistical probability of reversing or correcting back towards the central ATM price.
Trend Confirmation and Breakouts: A confident close outside the ±1σ range can indicate the beginning of a strong directional move.
Risk Management: Use the levels to set stop-losses or determine profit targets. For example, when opening a trade near the +1σ level, you might consider a target at +2σ and place a stop-loss behind the ATM level.
Volatility Analysis: By comparing the width of the ranges for different expirations, you can assess how the market is pricing short-term versus long-term risks. A narrow range suggests low expectations, while a wide range indicates high ones.
Disclaimer: This indicator is an analysis tool and does not provide direct financial advice or trading signals. All trading decisions are your own. Use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis methods.
OptionHawk1. What makes the script original?
• Unique concept: It integrates a Keltner based custom supertrend with a multi-EMA energy visualization, ATR based multi target management, and on chart options (CALL/PUT) trade signals—creating a toolkit not found in typical public scripts.
• Innovative use: Instead of off the shelf indicators, it reinvents them:
• Keltner bands used as dynamic Supertrend triggers.
• Fifteen EMAs layered for “energy” zones (bullish/bearish heatmaps).
• ATR dynamically scales multi-TP levels and stop loss.
These are creatively fused into a unified signal and automation engine.
________________________________________
2. What value does it provide to traders?
• Clear entries & exits: Labels for entry price/time, five TP levels, and SL structure eliminate guesswork.
• Visualization & automation: Real-time bar coloring and energy overlays allow quick momentum reads.
• Targeted to common pain points: Many traders struggle with manual TP/SL and entry timing—this automates that process.
• Ready for real use: Just plug into intraday (e.g., 5 min) or swing setups; no manual calculations. Signals are actionable out of the box.
________________________________________
3. Why invite only (worth paying)?
• Proprietary fusion: Public indicators like Supertrend or EMA are common—but your layered use, ATR based scaling, and label logic are exclusive.
• Auto-generated options format: Unique labeling for CALL/PUT, with graphical on chart signals, isn’t offered freely elsewhere.
• Time-saver & edge-provider: Saves traders hours of configuration and enhances consistency—worth the subscription cost over piecing together mash ups.
________________________________________
4. How does it work?
• Signal backbone: Custom supertrend uses Keltner bands crossing with close for direction, filtered by trend direction EMAs.
• Multi time logic: Trend defined by crossover of price over dynamic SMA thresholds built from ATR.
• Energy bar-colors/EMAs: 15 fast EMAs color-coded green/red to instantly show momentum.
• Entry logic: “Bull” when close crosses above supertrend; “Bear” when crosses below.
• Risk management: SL set at previous bar; up to 5 ATR scaled targets (or percentage based).
• Options formatted alerts: CALL/PUT labels with ₹¬currency values, embedded timestamp, SL/TP all printed on the chart.
________________________________________
5. How should traders use it?
• Best markets & timeframes: Ideal for intraday / low timeframe (1 15m) setups and 1 hour swing trades in equities, indices, options.
• Conditions: Works best in trending or volatility driven sessions—visible via Keltner bands and EMA energy alignment.
• Recommended combo: Use alongside volume filters or broader cycles; when supertrend & energy EMAs align, validation is stronger.
________________________________________
6. Proof of effectiveness?
• On chart visuals: Entry/exit labels, confirmed labels, TP and SL markers make past hits obvious.
• Real trade examples: Highlighted both bull & bear setups with full profit realization or SL hits.
• Performance is paint tested: Easy to showcase historic signals across multiple tickers.
• Data-backed: Users can export chart data to calculate win rate and avg return per trade.

OptionHawk: A Comprehensive Trend-Following & Volatility-Adaptive Trading System
The "OptionHawk" script is a sophisticated trading tool designed to provide clear, actionable signals for options trading by combining multiple technical indicators and custom logic. It aims to offer a holistic view of market conditions, identifying trend direction, momentum, and potential entry/exit points with dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels.
________________________________________
1. Why These Specific Indicators and Code Elements?
The "OptionHawk" script is a strategic fusion of the Supertrend indicator (modified with Keltner Channels), a multi-EMA "Energy" ribbon, dynamic trend lines (based on SMA and ATR), a 100-period Trend Filter EMA, and comprehensive trade management logic (SL/TP). My reason and motivation for this mashup stem from a desire to create a robust system that accounts for various market aspects often overlooked by individual indicators:
• Supertrend with Keltner Channels: The standard Supertrend is effective for trend identification but can sometimes generate whipsaws in volatile or ranging markets. By integrating Keltner Channels into the Supertrend calculation, the volatility measure becomes more adaptive, using the (high - low) range within the Keltner Channel for its ATR-like component. This aims to create a more responsive yet less prone-to-false-signals Supertrend.
• Multi-EMA "Energy" Ribbon: This visually striking element, composed of 15 EMAs, provides a quick glance at short-to-medium term momentum and potential support/resistance zones. When these EMAs are stacked and moving in one direction, it indicates strong "energy" behind the trend, reinforcing the signals from other indicators.
• Dynamic Trend Lines (SMA + ATR): These lines offer a visual representation of support and resistance that adapts to market volatility. Unlike static trend lines, their ATR-based offset ensures they remain relevant across different market conditions and asset classes, providing context for price action relative to the underlying trend.
• 100-Period Trend Filter EMA: A longer-period EMA acts as a higher-timeframe trend filter. This is crucial for confirming the direction identified by the faster-acting Supertrend, helping to avoid trades against the prevailing broader trend.
• Comprehensive Trade Management Logic: The script integrates automated calculation and display of stop-loss (SL) and multiple take-profit (TP) levels, along with trade confirmation and "TP Hit" labels. This is critical for practical trading, providing immediate, calculated risk-reward parameters that individual indicators typically don't offer.
This combination is driven by the need for a multi-faceted approach to trading that goes beyond simple signal generation to include trend confirmation, volatility adaptation, and essential risk management.
________________________________________
2. What Problem or Need Does This Mashup Solve?
This mashup addresses several critical gaps that existing individual indicators often fail to fill:
• Reliable Trend Identification in Volatile Markets: While Supertrend is good, it can be late or whipsaw. Integrating Keltner Channels helps it adapt to changing volatility, providing more reliable trend signals.
• Confirmation of Signals: A common pitfall of relying on a single indicator is false signals. "OptionHawk" uses the multi-EMA "Energy" ribbon and the 100-period EMA to confirm the trend identified by the Keltner-Supertrend, reducing false entries.
• Dynamic Support/Resistance & Trend Context: Static support and resistance levels can quickly become irrelevant. The dynamic SMA + ATR trend lines provide continually adjusting zones that reflect the current market's true support and resistance, giving traders a better understanding of price action within the trend.
• Integrated Risk and Reward Management: Most indicators just give entry signals. This script goes a significant step further by automatically calculating and displaying clear stop-loss and up to five take-profit levels (either ATR-based or percentage-based). This is a vital component for structured trading, allowing traders to pre-define their risk and reward for each trade.
• Visual Clarity and Actionable Information: Instead of requiring traders to layer multiple indicators manually, "OptionHawk" integrates them into a single, cohesive display with intuitive bar coloring, shape plots, and informative labels. This reduces cognitive load and presents actionable information directly on the chart.
In essence, "OptionHawk" provides a more comprehensive, adaptive, and actionable trading framework than relying on isolated indicators.
________________________________________
3. How Do the Components Work Together?
The various components of "OptionHawk" interact in a synergistic and often sequential manner to generate signals and manage trades:
• Keltner-Supertrend as the Primary Signal Generator: The supertrend function, enhanced by keltner_channel, is the core of the system. It identifies potential trend reversals and continuation signals (bullish/bearish crosses of the supertrendLine). The sensitivity and factor inputs directly influence how closely the Supertrend follows price and its responsiveness to volatility.
• Multi-EMA "Energy" Ribbon for Momentum and Confirmation: The 15 EMAs (from ema1 to ema15) are plotted to provide a visual representation of short-term momentum. When the price is above these EMAs and they are spread out and pointing upwards, it suggests strong bullish "energy." Conversely, when price is below them and they are pointing downwards, it indicates bearish "energy." This ribbon serves as a simultaneous visual confirmation for the Supertrend signals; a buy signal from Supertrend is stronger if the EMA ribbon is also indicating upward momentum.
• Dynamic Trend Lines for Context and Confirmation: The sma_high and sma_low lines, incorporating ATR, act as dynamic support and resistance. The trend variable, determined by price crossing these lines, provides an overarching directional bias. This component works conditionally with the Supertrend; a bullish Supertrend signal is more potent if the price is also above the sma_high (indicating an uptrend).
• 100-Period Trend Filter EMA for Macro Trend Confirmation: The ema100 acts as a macro trend filter. Supertrend signals are typically considered valid if they align with the direction of the ema100. For example, a "BUY" signal from the Keltner-Supertrend is ideally taken only if the price is also above the ema100, signifying that the smaller trend aligns with the larger trend. This is a conditional filter.
• Trade Confirmation and SL/TP Logic (Sequential and Conditional):
• Once a bull or bear signal is generated by the Keltner-Supertrend, the tradeSignalCall or tradeSignalPut is set to true.
• A confirmation step then occurs for a "BUY" signal, the script checks if the close of the next bar is higher than the entry bar's close. For a "SELL" signal, it checks if the close of the next bar is lower. This is a sequential confirmation step aimed at filtering out weak signals.
• Upon a confirmed signal, the stop-loss (SL) is immediately set based on the previous bar's low (for calls) or high (for puts).
• Multiple take-profit (TP) levels are calculated and stored in arrays. These can be based on a fixed percentage or dynamic ATR multiples, based on user input.
• The TP HIT logic continuously monitors price action simultaneously against these pre-defined target levels, displaying labels when a target is reached. The SL HIT logic similarly monitors for a stop-loss breach.
In summary, the Supertrend generates the initial signal, which is then confirmed by the dynamic trend lines and the 100-period EMA, and visually reinforced by the EMA "Energy" ribbon. The trade management logic then takes over, calculating and displaying vital risk-reward parameters.

4. What is the Purpose of the Mashup Beyond Simply Merging Code?
The purpose of "OptionHawk" extends far beyond merely combining different indicator codes; it's about creating a structured and informed decision-making process for options trading. The key strategic insights and functionalities added by combining these elements are:
• Enhanced Signal Reliability and Reduced Noise: By requiring multiple indicators to align (e.g., Keltner-Supertrend signal confirmed by EMA trend filter and dynamic trend lines), the script aims to filter out false signals and whipsaws that commonly plague individual indicators. This leads to higher-probability trade setups.
• Adaptive Risk Management: The integration of ATR into both the Supertrend calculation and the dynamic stop-loss/take-profit levels makes the entire system adaptive to current market volatility. This means stop-losses and targets are not static but expand or contract with the market's price swings, promoting more realistic risk management.
• Clear Trade Entry and Exit Framework: The script provides a complete trading plan with each signal: a clear entry point, a precise stop-loss, and multiple cascading take-profit levels. This holistic approach empowers traders to manage their trades effectively from initiation to conclusion, rather than just identifying a potential entry.
• Visual Confirmation of Market Strength: The "Energy" ribbon and dynamic trend lines provide an immediate visual understanding of the market's momentum and underlying trend strength, helping traders gauge conviction behind a signal.
• Improved Backtesting and Analysis: By combining these elements into one script, traders can more easily backtest a comprehensive strategy rather than trying to manually combine signals from multiple overlaying indicators, leading to more accurate strategy analysis.
• Suitability for Options Trading: Options contracts are highly sensitive to price movement and volatility. This script's focus on confirmed trend identification, dynamic volatility adaptation, and precise risk management makes it particularly well-suited for the nuanced demands of options trading, where timing and defined risk are paramount.

5. What New Functionality or Insight Does Your Script Offer?
"OptionHawk" offers several new functionalities and insights that significantly enhance decision-making, improve accuracy, and provide clearer signals and better timing for traders:
• "Smart" Supertrend: By basing the Supertrend's volatility component on the Keltner Channel's range instead of a simple ATR, the Supertrend becomes more sensitive to price action within its typical bounds while still adapting to broader market volatility. This can lead to earlier and more relevant trend change signals.
• Multi-Confirmation System: The script doesn't just provide a signal; it layers multiple confirmations (Keltner-Supertrend, multi-EMA "Energy" coloration, dynamic trend lines, and the 100-period EMA). This multi-layered validation significantly improves the accuracy of signals by reducing the likelihood of false positives.
• Automated and Dynamic Risk-Reward Display: This is a major functionality enhancement. The automatic calculation and clear display of stop-loss and five distinct take-profit levels (based on either ATR or percentage) directly on the chart, along with "TP HIT" and "SL HIT" labels, streamline the trading process. Traders no longer need to manually calculate these crucial levels, leading to enhanced decision-making and better risk management.
• Visual Trend "Energy" and Momentum: The vibrant coloring of the multi-EMA ribbon based on price relative to the EMA provides an intuitive and immediate visual cue for market momentum and "energy." This offers an insight into the strength of the current move, which isn't available from single EMA plots.
• Post-Signal Confirmation: The "Confirmation" label appearing on the bar after a signal, if the price continues in the signaled direction, adds an extra layer of real-time validation. This helps to improve signal timing by waiting for initial follow-through.
• Streamlined Options Trading Planning: For options traders, having clear entry prices, stop-losses, and multiple target levels directly annotated on the chart is invaluable. It helps in quickly assessing potential premium movements and managing positions effectively.
In essence, "OptionHawk" transitions from a collection of indicators to a semi-automated trading assistant, providing a comprehensive, visually rich, and dynamically adaptive framework for making more informed and disciplined trading decisions.

Performance & Claims
1. What is the claimed performance of the script or strategy?
Answer: The script does not claim any specific performance metrics (e.g., win rate, profit factor, percentage gains). It's an indicator designed to identify potential buy/sell signals and target/stop-loss levels. The labels it generates ("BUY CALL," "BUY PUT," "TP HIT," "SL HIT") are informational based on its internal logic, not a representation of actual trading outcomes.
2. Is there any proof or backtesting to support this claim?
Answer: No, the provided code does not include any backtesting functionality or historical performance proof. As an indicator, it simply overlays visual signals on the chart. To obtain backtesting results, the logic would need to be implemented as a Pine Script strategy with entry/exit rules and commission/slippage considerations.
3. Are there any unrealistic or exaggerated performance expectations being made?
Answer: The script itself does not make any performance expectations. It avoids quantitative claims. However, if this script were presented to users with implied promises of profit based solely on the visual signals, that would be unrealistic.
4. Have you clearly stated the limitations of the performance data (e.g., “based on backtesting only”)?
Answer: There is no statement of performance data or its limitations because the script doesn't generate performance data.
5. Do you include a disclaimer that past results do not guarantee future performance?
Answer: No, the script does not include any disclaimers about past or future performance. This is typically found in accompanying documentation or marketing materials for a trading system, not within the indicator's code itself.
________________________________________
Evidence & Transparency
6. How are your performance results measured (e.g., profit factor, win rate, Sharpe ratio)?
Answer: Performance results are not measured by this script. It's an indicator.
7. Are these results reproducible by others using the same script and settings?
Answer: The visual signals and calculated levels (Supertrend line, EMAs, target/SL levels) generated by the script are reproducible on TradingView when applied to the same instrument, timeframe, and with the same input settings. However, the actual trading results (profit/loss) are not generated or reproducible by this indicator.
8. Do you include enough data (charts, equity curves, trade logs) to support your claims?
Answer: No, the script does not include or generate equity curves or trade logs. It provides visual labels on the chart, which can be seen as a form of "data" to support the signal generation, but not the performance claims (as none are made by the code).
________________________________________
Future Expectations
9. Are you making any predictions about future market performance?
Answer: No, the script does not make any explicit predictions about future market performance. Its signals are based on historical price action and indicator calculations.
10. Have you stated clearly that the future is fundamentally uncertain?
Answer: No, the script does not contain any statements about the uncertainty of the future.
11. Are forward-looking statements presented with caution and appropriate language?
Answer: The script does not contain any forward-looking statements beyond the visual signals it generates based on real-time data.
________________________________________
Risk & Disclosure
12. Have you disclosed the risks associated with using your script or strategy?
Answer: No, the script does not include any risk disclosures. This is typically found in external documentation.
13. Do you explain that trading involves potential loss as well as gain?
Answer: No, the script does not contain any explanation about the potential for loss in trading.
________________________________________
Honesty & Integrity
14. Have you avoided hype words like “guaranteed,” “foolproof,” or “no losses”?
Answer: Yes, the script itself avoids these hype words. The language used within the code is technical and describes the indicator's logic.
15. Is your language grounded and realistic rather than promotional?
Answer: Yes, the language within the provided Pine Script code is grounded and realistic as it pertains to the technical implementation of an indicator.
16. Are you leaving out any important details that might mislead users (e.g., selective performance snapshots)?
Answer: From the perspective of the code itself, no, it's not "leaving out" performance details because it's not designed to generate them. However, if this indicator were to be presented as a "strategy" that implies profitability without accompanying disclaimers, backtesting results, and risk disclosures, then that external presentation could be misleading. The script focuses on signal generation and visual representation.

RSI‑MA Near‑Level AlertRSI‑MA Near‑Level Alert — Publication Description
Overview
RSI‑MA Near‑Level Alert plots a smoothed Relative Strength Index (RSI) line and sends automatic alerts whenever that line comes within a user‑defined distance of two key thresholds (default = 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold). It is designed for traders who want an early warning—before a classic 70/30 cross—so they can tighten stops, scale out, or prepare reversal setups.
How It Works
RSI Calculation – Uses the standard RSI (default length 14).
Smoothing – Applies a moving‑average (default Simple 10) to reduce noise.
Proximity Logic – On every bar, the script measures the absolute distance between the smoothed RSI line and each threshold.
If the distance ≤ the Proximity setting (default 1 point), the condition flips to true.
Built‑in Alert Triggers – Two alertcondition() calls are embedded:
“RSI MA near UPPER level”
“RSI MA near LOWER level”
Select either one (or both) from the TradingView alert dialog and choose your delivery method (popup, e‑mail, SMS, webhook).
Inputs
Input Default Purpose
RSI Length 14 Core momentum look‑back.
Smoothing MA Length 10 Length of the MA applied to RSI.
Upper Level 70 Overbought line.
Lower Level 30 Oversold line.
Alert Proximity (points) 1.0 How close (in RSI points) the MA must get to trigger.
All inputs are fully editable after you add the script to a chart.
Typical Use‑Cases
Pre‑emptive Exits – Get notified when momentum is stalling near 70 or 30 so you can lock in gains before a reversal.
Reversal Hunting – Combine the alert with price‑action patterns (pin bars, engulfing candles) for higher‑probability fades.
Breakout Confirmation – Increase Upper Level to 80 / Lower Level to 20 and lower Proximity to 0.5 for more aggressive trend‑following alerts.
Step‑by‑Step Alert Setup
Add the script to your chart.
Click the alarm‑clock‑plus icon (or press Alt + A).
In “Condition,” select RSI‑MA Near‑Level Alert.
Choose either RSI MA near UPPER level or RSI MA near LOWER level.
Pick Once Per Bar Close for confirmed signals or Once Per Bar for real‑time.
Select your preferred notification methods and click Create.
(Repeat for the opposite threshold.)
Customization Tips
Change Smoothing Type – Replace ta.sma() with ta.ema(), ta.rma(), etc., directly in the code if you prefer another MA.
Track Multiple Assets – Apply the indicator to each symbol in a multi‑chart layout and set independent alerts.
Narrow Range Play – Set Upper = 60, Lower = 40 and Proximity = 0.5 to monitor a quiet‑momentum band.

Options Volatility Strategy Analyzer [TradeDots]The Options Volatility Strategy Analyzer is a specialized tool designed to help traders assess market conditions through a detailed examination of historical volatility, market benchmarks, and percentile-based thresholds. By integrating multiple volatility metrics (including VIX and VIX9D) with color-coded regime detection, the script provides users with clear, actionable insights for selecting appropriate options strategies.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Historical Volatility & Percentile Calculations
Annualized Historical Volatility (HV): The script automatically computes the asset’s historical volatility using log returns over a user-defined period. It then annualizes these values based on the chart’s timeframe, helping you understand the asset’s typical volatility profile.
Dynamic Percentile Ranks: To gauge where the current volatility level stands relative to past behavior, historical volatility values are compared against short, medium, and long lookback periods. Tracking these percentile ranks allows you to quickly see if volatility is high or low compared to historical norms.
2. Multi-Market Benchmark Comparison
VIX and VIX9D Integration: The script tracks market volatility through the VIX and VIX9D indices, comparing them to the asset’s historical volatility. This reveals whether the asset’s volatility is outpacing, lagging, or remaining in sync with broader market volatility conditions.
Market Context Analysis: A built-in term-structure check can detect market stress or relative calm by measuring how VIX compares to shorter-dated volatility (VIX9D). This helps you decide if the present environment is risk-prone or relatively stable.
3. Volatility Regime Detection
Color-Coded Background: The analyzer assigns a volatility regime (e.g., “High Asset Vol,” “Low Asset Vol,” “Outpacing Market,” etc.) based on current historical volatility percentile levels and asset vs. market ratios. A color-coded background highlights the regime, enabling traders to quickly interpret the market’s mood.
Alerts on Regime Changes & Spikes: Automated alerts warn you about any significant expansions or contractions in volatility, allowing you to react swiftly in changing conditions.
4. Strategy Forecast Table
Real-Time Strategy Suggestions: At the close of each bar, an on-chart table generates suggested options strategies (e.g., selling premium in high volatility or buying premium in low volatility). These suggestions provide a quick summary of potential tactics suited to the current regime.
Contextual Market Data: The table also displays key statistics, such as VIX levels, asset historical volatility percentile, or ratio comparisons, helping you confirm whether volatility conditions warrant more conservative or more aggressive strategies.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
1. Select Your Timeframe: The script supports multiple timeframes. For short-term trading, intraday charts often reveal faster shifts in volatility. For swing or position trading, daily or weekly charts may be more stable and produce fewer false signals.
2. Check the Volatility Regime: Observe the background color and on-chart labels to identify the current regime (e.g., “HIGH ASSET VOL,” “LOW VOL + LAGGING,” etc.).
3. Review the Forecast Table: The table suggests strategy ideas (e.g., iron condors, long straddles, ratio spreads) depending on whether volatility is elevated, subdued, or spiking. Use these as a starting point for designing trades that match your risk tolerance.
4. Combine with Additional Analysis: For optimal results, confirm signals with your broader trading plan, technical tools (moving averages, price action), and fundamental research. This script is most effective when viewed as one component in a comprehensive decision-making process.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Directional Neutrality: This indicator analyzes volatility environments but does not predict price direction (up/down). Traders must combine with directional analysis for complete strategy selection.
Late or Missed Signals: Since all calculations require a bar to close, sharp intrabar volatility moves may not appear in real-time.
False Positives in Choppy Markets: Rapid changes in percentile ranks or VIX movements can generate conflicting or premature regime shifts.
Data Sensitivity: Accuracy depends on the availability and stability of volatility data. Significant gaps or unusual market conditions may skew results.
Market Correlation Assumptions: The system assumes assets generally correlate with S&P 500 volatility patterns. May be less effective for:
Small-cap stocks with unique volatility drivers
International stocks with different market dynamics
Sector-specific events disconnected from broad market
Cryptocurrency-related assets with independent volatility patterns
RISK DISCLAIMER
Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Options strategies can result in significant losses, including the total loss of premium paid. The complexity of options strategies requires thorough understanding of the risks involved.
This indicator provides volatility analysis for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice. Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly, and volatility regimes may shift without warning.
No trading system can guarantee profits, and all trading involves the risk of loss. The indicator's regime classifications and strategy suggestions should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes proper risk management, directional analysis, and consideration of broader market conditions.
