Trend Strength/DirectionThis is a really good, though complex indicator, so I will add two different explanations so to appease both the laymen and those who take the time to read thoroughly.
Simple Explanation
This indicator utilizes 6HMA's to display their angles
The greater the angle ---> the stronger the trend
If more angles are positive, then trend is very strong
If more are negative, then very negative
Comprehensive Explanation
6 angles, each of a different time frame are used to represent direction and trend strength. Angles are used because they intrinsically represent momentum and speed. An angle of 45 represents a perfect balance between something that can cover the furthest distance without compensating for speed. 1 of the 6 angles is intended(though customizable) to represent the 5 hma's angle. This is because the 5hma is very good at representing very near term price action.
Angle Levels
Its important to understand what the angle levels mean for the underlying hma's. The 0 level represents a hma that is horizontal. This is important because this is the point at which it decides to be bullish or bearish. +/- 45, as noted before, represent bullishness/bearishness that represent strong trends without compensating for speed. A continuous increase/decrease and or a cross of these levels generally indicate significant change in sentiment, of which trades may be taken.
Strategy
You should weigh your decision by those angles that represent the longer time frame. If more angles represent a certain sentiment, it is obviously unwise to fight against that long term sentiment. The purpose of this indicator was to provide a proper representation of trend direction and strength, but also solve the problem of when you should 'dip' buy.
For an example: if all angles are increase or decreasing, then you may use the 5hma's angle to find the proper points at which you will enter a position.
***NOTE: I dont think the +/- 45 bands should indicate 'overbought' or 'oversold' zones that some might assume. Instead you should wait for a crossing of this zone.
RSI BandsOverview
The RSI Bands indicator is a tool designed to calculate and display overbought, oversold, and middle bands based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
Its primary purpose is to provide traders with a clue on whether to place limit buy or limit sell orders, or to set stop-loss orders effectively. The bands represent the price levels the asset must reach for the RSI to align with specific thresholds:
Overbought Band: Displays the upper band representing the price level the asset must reach for the RSI to become overbought.
Oversold Band: Displays the lower band representing the price level the asset must reach for the RSI to become oversold.
Middle Band: Displays the middle band representing the price level the asset must reach for the RSI to hit the middle level. It uses both traditional RSI calculations and a dynamic period adjustment mechanism for improved adaptability to market conditions. The script also offers smoothing options for the bands.
Features
Calculates overbought, oversold, and middle bands using RSI values.
Dynamically adjusts the RSI period based on pivot points if enabled.
Offers smoothing options for the bands: EMA, SMA, or None.
Customizable input parameters for flexibility.
Inputs
Source Value: Selects the data source (e.g., close price) for RSI calculation.
Period: Sets the static RSI calculation period. Used if dynamic period is disabled.
Use Dynamic Period?: Toggles the use of a dynamic RSI period.
Pivot Left/Right Length: Determines the range of bars for pivot detection when using dynamic periods.
Dynamic Period Multiplier: Scales the dynamically calculated RSI period.
Overbought Level: RSI level that marks the overbought threshold.
Oversold Level: RSI level that marks the oversold threshold.
Middle Level: RSI level used as a midpoint reference.
Smoothing Type: Specifies the smoothing method for the bands (EMA, SMA, or None).
Smoothing Length: Length used for the selected smoothing method.
Key Calculations
RSI Calculation:
Computes RSI using gains and losses over the specified period (dynamic or static).
Incorporates a custom function for calculating RSI with dynamic periods.
Dynamic Period Adjustment:
Uses pivot points to determine an adaptive RSI period.
Multiplies the base dynamic period by the Dynamic Period Multiplier.
Band Calculation:
Calculates price changes (deltas) required to achieve the overbought, oversold, and middle RSI levels.
The price changes (deltas) are determined using an iterative approximation technique. For each target RSI level (overbought, oversold, or middle), the script estimates the required change in price by adjusting a hypothetical delta value until the calculated RSI aligns with the target RSI. This approximation ensures precise calculation of the price levels necessary for the RSI to reach the specified thresholds.
Computes the upper (overbought), lower (oversold), and middle bands by adding these deltas to the source price.
Smoothing:
Applies the selected smoothing method (EMA or SMA) to the calculated bands.
Plots
Overbought Band: Displays the upper band representing the price level the asset must reach for the RSI to become overbought.
Oversold Band: Displays the lower band representing the price level the asset must reach for the RSI to become oversold.
Middle Band: Displays the middle band representing the price level the asset must reach for the RSI to hit the middle level.
Usage
Choose the source value (e.g., close price).
Select whether to use a dynamic RSI period or a static one.
Adjust pivot lengths and multipliers for dynamic period calculation as needed.
Set the overbought, oversold, and middle RSI levels based on your analysis.
Configure smoothing options for the bands.
Observe the plotted bands and use them to identify potential overbought and oversold market conditions.
Market Anomaly Detector (MAD)Market Anomaly Detector (MAD) Indicator - Detailed Description:
The Market Anomaly Detector (MAD) Indicator is a unique tool designed to identify potential market anomalies by combining several price action-based and momentum indicators. This indicator is especially useful for traders who seek to identify significant market shifts and anomalies before they become visible in conventional technical indicators.
Key Features of the MAD Indicator:
1. Z-Score Threshold for Anomaly Detection:
• The Z-Score measures how far a current price is from its average over a defined period, normalized by standard deviation. This allows the MAD indicator to detect outliers or anomalies in price movements.
• By adjusting the Z-Score Threshold, traders can tune the sensitivity of the indicator to capture only the most significant price deviations, filtering out noise and reducing false signals.
2. Volume and Liquidity Filter:
• Volume is a key indicator of market participation and sentiment. The MAD Indicator uses a volume multiplier to assess when price movements are supported by sufficient trading volume.
• A volume spike is identified when the current volume exceeds the average volume by a certain multiplier. This ensures that only high-confidence signals are generated, particularly useful for spotting trend reversals and breakout opportunities.
3. Signal Cooldown Period:
• To prevent overfitting and reduce false signals, a signal cooldown period is implemented. Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the indicator waits for a specified number of bars (e.g., 5) before triggering another signal, even if the price action meets the criteria for a new signal. This helps maintain a cleaner trading environment and avoids confusion when the market is volatile.
4. Upper and Lower Bands for Trend Confirmation:
• The MAD Indicator uses bands based on the mean price and standard deviation, similar to Bollinger Bands. These upper and lower bands help to define the expected price range for a given period, indicating overbought or oversold conditions.
• The combination of Z-Score, volume, and band analysis helps pinpoint when the price breaks out of expected ranges, providing early warning signs for potential market shifts.
5. Trend Confirmation from Higher Timeframes:
• The MAD Indicator includes a multi-timeframe approach to trend confirmation, using the 50-period EMA on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour chart). This ensures that signals are aligned with the overall market trend, enhancing the reliability of buy and sell signals.
How It Works:
• The MAD Indicator continuously monitors price action, volume, and statistical anomalies, using the Z-Score to determine when the price is significantly deviating from its historical average.
• When the price breaks above the upper band and a bullish anomaly is detected, a buy signal is generated. (Green Background)
• Similarly, when the price breaks below the lower band and a bearish anomaly is detected, a sell signal is triggered. (Red Background
• By filtering signals based on volume and using the cooldown period, the MAD Indicator ensures that only high-quality trades are signaled.
How to Use the MAD Indicator:
• Buy Signal: Occurs when the price breaks above the upper band and there is a significant deviation from the mean (bullish anomaly).
• Sell Signal: Occurs when the price breaks below the lower band and there is a significant deviation from the mean (bearish anomaly).
• Volume Confirmation: Ensure that the buy/sell signals are supported by a volume spike, indicating strong market participation.
• Signal Cooldown Period: After a signal is triggered, the indicator waits for the cooldown period to avoid triggering multiple signals in quick succession.
Why It’s Worth Paying For:
The MAD Indicator combines advanced statistical analysis (Z-Score), price action, and volume analysis to identify market anomalies and breakouts before they are visible on standard indicators. By leveraging the power of mean reversion and statistical anomalies, this tool provides traders with high-confidence signals that can lead to profitable trades, especially in volatile markets. The integration of a multi-timeframe trend filter ensures that signals are aligned with the overall market trend, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts.
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders looking for high-probability entries and mean-reversion traders aiming to capture price deviations. The signal cooldown period and volume filter provide an additional layer of precision, ensuring that you only act on the strongest market signals.

Super Oscillator with Alerts by BigBlueCheeseSuper Oscillator with Alerts (by BigBlueCheese)
I got sick of eyeballing multiple oscillators generating output on different scales and interpreting them on the fly, so I picked 4 of my favs, 2 fisher transforms (fast & slow) The Squeeze & my own Market Rhythm Oscillator & made the Super Oscillator with Alerts which combines multiple indicators and oscillators to analyze market conditions and generate actionable trading signals.
The output is buy/sell/neutral signals and a color coded table summarizing indicator states (strong buy to strong sell etc). The color legend can be disabled once you get used to the color codes. The user can choose to watch the table output and its changing output, OR unclutter their screen by toggling the table off & just watching for the signals SO+ (buy), SO-(sell), SO?(neutral)
The combined signals are run through a scoring and weighting scheme that utilizes each indicators Z-scores, Min-Max normalization, and raw values which are all used in different parts of the scoring process.
A velocity filter (for more immediate/sensitive response) is available for the user to toggle on/off. The raw indicator values are classified into categories reflecting their current strength and are assigned momentum points.
Z-scores measure how far each oscillator's current value deviates from its mean in terms of standard deviations. Basically, the Z-scores focus on relative behavior, while momentum captures directional trends. Together, they provide a more nuanced view of market conditions. Large Z-scores increase the likelihood of stronger signals. The idea is to are amplify influence in extreme conditions whereas low Z scores will have minimal impact on the cumulative score, making signals less prone to noise.
Inputs and Their Contributions
1. Momentum: Controlled by the raw oscillator values and thresholds.
2. Min-Max: Automatically calculated based on the historical range of oscillators.
3. Velocity: Input: useVelocity (true/false) toggle. Weights: User-defined weights for velocity contribution.
4. Z-Score: Input: useZScore (true/false) toggle. Weights: User-defined weights for Z-score contribution.
The system combines momentum, Min-Max normalization, (and if enabled) velocity, and Z-scores, to generate dynamic and actionable trading signals that appear as markers on the chart indicating buy, sell, and neutral signals.
Alerts can also be triggered based on these signals.
Users can customize the weighting and inclusion of velocity and Z-scores to align the scoring system with their trading strategy and preferences.
If there is enough interest for some other preferred oscillator, I will substitute it for out my Market Rhythm Oscillator & republish with the code. LMK
For the curious out there, the Market Rhythm Oscillator (MRO) is a custom oscillator that analyzes price dynamics using a combination of weighted volatility-based calculations. It helps measure price momentum and potential exhaustion levels by identifying high and low volatility regions.
• Purpose: The MRO is particularly effective at identifying market trends and potential reversals by analyzing price extremes and their behavior over a defined lookback period.
• Calculation Components might include:
o Waveform Volatility Factor (WVF): Measures the price's deviation from its highest or lowest values within a given period.
o Bands and Smoothing:
Upper and lower bands based on standard deviations of WVF.
Smoothing is applied to the WVF for better trend clarity.
o Exhaustion Levels: Uses the MRO's trend length to calculate when the price action may become overextended.

GMO (Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator) GMO
Overview
This indicator fuses multiple advanced concepts to give traders a comprehensive view of market momentum, volatility, and potential turning points. It leverages the Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator (GMO) foundation and layers on IQR-based bands, dynamic ATR-adjusted OB/OS levels, torque filtering, and divergence detection. The outcome is a versatile tool that can assist in identifying both short-term squeezes and long-term reversal zones while detecting subtle shifts in momentum acceleration.
Key Components:
Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator (GMO) – A physics-inspired metric capturing trend stability and momentum by treating price dynamics as “angle,” “angular velocity,” and “inertia.”
IQR Bands – Highlight statistically typical oscillation ranges, providing insight into short-term squeezes and potential near-term trend shifts.
ATR-Adjusted OB/OS Levels – Dynamic thresholds for overbought/oversold conditions, adapting to volatility, aiding in identifying long-term potential reversal zones.
Torque Filtering & Scaling – Smooths and thresholds torque (the rate of change of momentum) and visually scales it for clarity, indicating sudden force changes that may precede volatility adjustments.
Divergence Detection – Highlights potential reversal cues by comparing oscillator swings against price swings, revealing regular and hidden bullish/bearish divergences.
Conceptual Insights
IQR Bands (Short-Term Squeeze & Trend Direction):
Short-Term Momentum and Squeeze: The IQR (Interquartile Range) bands show where the oscillator tends to “live” statistically. When the GMO line hovers within compressed IQR bands, it can signal a momentum squeeze phase. Exiting these tight ranges often correlates with short-term breakout opportunities.
Trend Reversals: If the oscillator pushes beyond these IQR ranges, it may indicate an emerging short-term trend change. Traders can watch for GMO escaping the IQR “comfort zone” to anticipate a new directional move.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels (Long-Term Reversal Zones):
ATR-Based Adaptive Thresholds: Instead of static overbought/oversold lines, this tool uses ATR to adjust OB/OS boundaries. In calm markets, these lines remain closer to ±90. As volatility rises, they approach ±100, reflecting greater permissible swings.
Long-Term Trend Reversal Potential: If GMO hits these dynamically adjusted OB/OS extremes, it suggests conditions ripe for possible long-term trend reversals. Traders seeking major inflection points may find these adaptive levels more reliable than fixed thresholds.
Torque (Sudden Force & Directional Shifts):
Momentum Acceleration Insight: Torque represents the second derivative of momentum, highlighting how quickly momentum is changing. High positive torque suggests a rapidly strengthening bullish force, while high negative torque warns of sudden bearish pressure.
Early Warning & Stability/Volatility Adjustments: By monitoring torque spikes, traders can anticipate momentum shifts before price fully confirms them. This can signal imminent changes in stability or increased volatility phases.

Visual Elements on the Chart
GMO Line (Blue) & Zero Line (Gray):
GMO line oscillates around zero. Positive territory hints bullish momentum, negative suggests bearish.
IQR Bands (Teal Lines & Yellow Fill):
Upper/lower bands form a statistical “normal range” for GMO. The median line (purple) provides a central reference. Contraction near these bands indicates a short-term squeeze, expansions beyond them can signal emerging short-term trend changes.
Dynamic OB/OS (Red & Green Lines):
Red line near +90 to +100: Overbought zone (dynamic).
Green line near -90 to -100: Oversold zone (dynamic).
Movement into these zones may mark significant, longer-term reversal potential.
Torque Histogram (Colored Bars):
Plotted below GMO. Green bars = torque above positive threshold (bullish acceleration).
Red bars = torque below negative threshold (bearish acceleration).
Gray bars = neutral range.
This provides early warnings of momentum shifts before price responds fully.
Precession (Orange Line):
Scaled for visibility, adds context to long-term angular shifts in the oscillator.
Divergence Signals (Shapes):
Circles and offset lines highlight regular or hidden bullish/bearish divergences, offering potential reversal signals.
Practical Interpretation & Strategy
Short-Term Opportunities (IQR Focus):
If GMO compresses within IQR bands, the market might be “winding up.” A break above/below these bands can signal a short-term trade opportunity.
Long-Term Reversal Zones (Dynamic OB/OS):
When GMO approaches these dynamically adjusted extremes, conditions may be ripe for a major trend shift. This is particularly useful for swing or position traders looking for significant turnarounds.
Monitoring Torque for Acceleration Cues:
Torque spikes can precede price action, serving as an early catalyst signal. If torque turns strongly positive, anticipate bullish acceleration; strongly negative torque may warn of upcoming bearish pressure.
Confirm with Divergences:
Divergences between price and GMO reinforce potential reversal or continuation signals identified by IQR, OB/OS, or torque. Use them to increase confidence in setups.
Tips and Best Practices
Combine with Price & Volume Action:
While the indicator is powerful, always confirm signals with actual price structure, volume patterns, or other trend-following tools.
Adjust Lengths & Periods as Needed:
Shorter lengths = more responsiveness but more noise. Longer lengths = smoother signals but greater lag. Tune parameters to match your trading style and timeframe.
Use ATR and Volume Settings Wisely:
If markets are highly volatile, consider useVolatility to refine momentum readings. If liquidity is key, enable useVolume.
Scaling Torque:
If torque bars are hard to read, increase torqueScaleFactor further. The scaling doesn’t affect logic—only visibility.
Conclusion
The “GMO + IQR Bands + ATR-Adjusted OB/OS + Torque Filtering (Scaled)” indicator presents a holistic framework for understanding market momentum across multiple timescales and conditions. By interpreting short-term squeezes via IQR bands, long-term reversal zones via adaptive OB/OS, and subtle acceleration changes through torque, traders can gain advanced insights into when to anticipate breakouts, manage risk around potential reversals, and fine-tune timing for entries and exits.
This integrated approach helps navigate complex market dynamics, making it a valuable addition to any technical analysis toolkit.

Stochastic Oscillator-Time & Frequency StatsThe Stochastic Oscillator Time & Frequency Statistics indicator is a tool designed to enhance your trading decisions by combining the traditional Stochastic Oscillator with additional metrics and visual aids. Although the Stochastic Oscillator is typically used to indicate trend direction and overbought/oversold conditions, the %K and %D lines can cross over and under multiple times while in the critical zones. The statistics added to this indicator allow traders to assess the probability of multiple crossover signals occurring on an asset or within various time frames. Signal levels and definitions of critical zones can be adjusted while the statistics are automatically updated to the relevant ticker, time frame and thresholds. Visual preferences such as colors and signal shapes can also be customized.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a commonly used momentum indicator developed by George Lane. It measures the position of the current closing price relative to the asset's recent high-low range over a set period. This advanced version calculates various probability and frequency statistics to better understand the oscillator’s behaviour and guide our strategies and risk management. Some key questions that this indicator intends to address are:
How long does the average momentum last in a trend?; How long does the oscillator remain in the critical zones?; How many times could one expect crossovers/unders' to occur in critical zones before momentum changes?; And, at what price does the candle need to close for the k & d lines to cross and signal a momentum shift?
Statistics & Probabilities:
The indicator calculates important time and frequency-based metrics that provide deeper insight into the behavior of the Stochastic Oscillator. These are displayed in a text box on the indicator panel, including:
Avg Long: The average number of bars between the last long signal before exiting the critical oversold zone and the next short signal in the overbought critical zone, including the standard deviation and the sample size within the relevant time frame.
Avg Short: The average number of bars between the last short signal in the overbought critical zone and the next long signal in the oversold critical zone, including the standard deviation and the sample size within the relevant time frame.
Time in Oversold: The average time (in bars/candle sticks) that the Stochastic Oscillator's %K & %D lines both spend in the oversold region (below the buy signal level) after entering and before departing the oversold region, along with the standard deviation.
Time in Overbought: The average time (in bars/candle sticks) that the Stochastic Oscillator's %K & %D lines both spend in the overbought region (above the sell signal level), after entering and before departing the overbought region, along with the standard deviation.
Signal Frequency: It calculates the percentage of long or short signals that occur consecutively within the critical zone before the opposing signal occurs (e.g., 1Long: 40.54%, 2 Long: 28.55%, 3Long: 17.4%, >3 Long: 13.51%, 1Short: 36.15%, 2Short: 30.41%, 3Short: 17.57%, >3Short: 15.88%). This is calculated for 1 through 6 consecutive occurrences and summarised for more than 6 consecutive signals
Key Features:
Oversold: Typically When the Stochastic Oscillator is below 20, it indicates that the asset may be oversold, potentially signalling a buying opportunity. The threshold for "overbought" and "oversold" extreme regions can be adjusted
Overbought: When the Stochastic Oscillator is above 80, it suggests the asset may be overbought, and a downturn might be near.
Stochastic Slope: The slope of the Stochastic Oscillator indicates the prominent trend direction within the selected time period.
Customizable Buy/Sell Signal Levels: The indicator allows customizable levels for detecting oversold (typically below 20-25) and overbought (typically above 75-80) conditions, helping one spot potential reversal zones for initiating long or short trades.
Crossover Alerts: The indicator tracks crossovers between the %K and %D lines, generating:
Long signals: When a crossover occurs below the buy signal level (indicating oversold conditions).
Short signals: when a crossunder occurs above the sell signal level (indicating overbought conditions).
The signals are visualized as labels on the chart:
- **L** for potential long (buy) signals: Marked below the bars when the %K line crosses above the %D line.
- **S** for potential short (sell) signals: Marked above the bars when the %K line crosses below the %D line.

Universal Forex Strength Index - UFSIUniversal Forex Strength Index: A Comprehensive Guide for Traders
The Universal Forex Strength Index (UFSI) is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to help traders assess the strength of various currency pairs in the Forex market. This guide will walk you through the functionality of the UFSI, how to interpret its signals, and how to utilize it effectively in your trading strategy.
Understanding the Components of UFSI
1. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The UFSI utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions:
Above 70: Overbought condition
Below 30: Oversold condition
2. Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
The indicator also incorporates two Exponential Moving Averages:
EMA 21: A short-term trend indicator.
EMA 50: A longer-term trend indicator.
The difference between these two EMAs is normalized to create a value that reflects market momentum.
3. Strength Index Calculation
The UFSI combines the RSI and the normalized EMA difference to produce a composite strength index. This index ranges from 0 to 100 and provides insights into the overall strength of a currency pair.
4. EMA of the Strength Index
A 50-period EMA of the strength index is calculated to smooth out fluctuations and provide a clearer trend direction.
Color Coding System
The UFSI employs a dynamic color-coding scheme that helps traders quickly assess market conditions:
Strength Index Colors
Green Shades: Indicates a strong bullish trend.
Dark Green (#006400) to Light Green (#008000): Strong bullish momentum.
Orange Shades: Indicates a potential reversal or uncertainty.
Orange (#FFA500) to Gold (#FFD700): Bullish but losing momentum.
Red Shades: Indicates a strong bearish trend.
Dark Red (#FF4500) to Bright Red (#FF0000): Strong bearish momentum.
Blue Shades: Indicates neutral or indecisive market conditions.
Light Blue (#1E90FF) to Dark Blue (#0000FF): No clear trend.
EMA Gradient Color
The color of the 50 EMA of the Strength Index changes based on its value:
Above 50: Indicates bullish sentiment, transitioning from light green to dark green as strength increases.
Below 50: Indicates bearish sentiment, transitioning from red to orange as strength decreases.
How to Use the Universal Forex Strength Index in Trading
Step-by-Step Trading Strategy
Identify Market Conditions
Look at the color of the strength index line:
If it’s predominantly green, consider looking for buying opportunities.
If it’s predominantly red, consider looking for selling opportunities.
If it’s blue, be cautious as there may be no clear trend.
Confirm with EMA
Check the position of the strength index relative to its EMA:
If the strength index is above its EMA and both are above 50, this confirms a strong bullish trend.
If the strength index is below its EMA and both are below 50, this confirms a strong bearish trend.
Set Entry and Exit Points
Use traditional support and resistance levels or other indicators (like moving averages or Fibonacci retracement levels) for setting entry and exit points.
Consider entering trades when there’s a crossover between the strength index and its EMA, especially when confirmed by color changes.
Risk Management
Always use stop-loss orders to protect against unexpected market movements.
Adjust your position size based on your risk tolerance and account size.
Conclusion
The Universal Forex Strength Index is an invaluable tool for traders seeking to gauge market sentiment and make informed trading decisions. By understanding its components, interpreting its color-coded signals, and integrating it into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to navigate the complexities of the Forex market successfully.

Precision Trading Strategy: Golden EdgeThe PTS: Golden Edge strategy is designed for scalping Gold (XAU/USD) on lower timeframes, such as the 1-minute chart. It captures high-probability trade setups by aligning with strong trends and momentum, while filtering out low-quality trades during consolidation or low-volatility periods.
The strategy uses a combination of technical indicators to identify optimal entry points:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): A fast EMA (3-period) and a slow EMA (33-period) are used to detect short-term trend reversals via crossover signals.
2. Hull Moving Average (HMA): A 66-period HMA acts as a higher-timeframe trend filter to ensure trades align with the overall market direction.
3. Relative Strength Index (RSI): A 12-period RSI identifies momentum. The strategy requires RSI > 55 for long trades and RSI < 45 for short trades, ensuring entries are backed by strong buying or selling pressure.
4. Average True Range (ATR): A 14-period ATR ensures trades occur only during volatile conditions, avoiding choppy or low-movement markets.
By combining these tools, the PTS: Golden Edge strategy creates a precise framework for scalping and offers a systematic approach to capitalize on Gold’s price movements efficiently.

[blackcat] L4 Dynamic Trend Analysis█ OVERVIEW
The script implements a dynamic trend analysis indicator named L4 Dynamic Trend Analysis (L4 DTA). It uses a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and custom functions to determine the trend direction and strength. The primary function is to visually represent the trend conditions and potential entry points on the chart.
█ FEATURES
• Initializes a gradient color array and populates it with a spectrum of colors. This gradient is used for coloring the power trend line based on the RSI value.
• Calculates the Average Linear Moving Average (ALMA) of the closing price.
• Computes the RSI of the ALMA value.
• Retrieves a color from the gradient array based on the RSI value.
• Defines a custom function dynamic_trend_analysis that calculates various trend indicators.
• Utilizes the plot function to display different trend conditions and signals on the chart.
• Adds labels to indicate short ('S') and long ('B') signals based on the trend conditions.
█ HOW TO USE
The script begins by defining the gradient color array.
It then calculates the ALMA and RSI values.
The dynamic_trend_analysis function is called, which computes several trend indicators.
Based on these indicators, the script plots different signals and trend lines on the chart.
Labels are added to indicate short and long signals when specific conditions are met.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
1 — xrf(values, length)
• Purpose: Retrieves the most recent non-NaN value from an array within a specified length.
• Parameters: values (array of float values), length (integer).
• Return Value: The most recent non-NaN value from the array within the specified length.
2 — xbs(cond, lkb)
• Purpose: Checks a condition over a specified lookback period and returns a boolean value.
• Parameters: cond (boolean condition), lkb (lookback period).
• Return Value: Boolean value indicating whether the condition was met over the lookback period.
3 — dynamic_trend_analysis(high, low, close)
• Purpose: Computes several trend indicators including short-side and long-side prices, crossovers, trend strength, and power trend.
• Parameters: high, low, close (price series).
• Return Value: An array containing trend strength (cc), moving average (ma1), trend (trend), and power trend (power_trend).
█ NOTES
• Gradient Color Array: The script uses a gradient color array to dynamically color the power trend line based on the RSI value, providing a visual indication of momentum.
• Custom Functions: The use of custom functions (xrf, xbs, dynamic_trend_analysis) encapsulates complex logic, making the script modular and easier to maintain.
• Trend Analysis: The script combines multiple indicators (EMA, RSI) to create a comprehensive trend analysis, providing multiple signals for trading decisions.
• Efficient Plotting: The script uses conditional plotting to display signals only when specific conditions are met, reducing clutter on the chart.
• Modifications: The script can be modified to include additional indicators or adjust the parameters of existing ones to better suit different trading styles or market conditions.
• Extensions: The dynamic trend analysis function can be extended to include more sophisticated trend following or reversal strategies.
• Alternative Uses: Similar techniques can be applied to other types of technical analysis, such as volatility analysis or momentum strategies.
• Related Concepts: Understanding of Pine Script functions like array.push, ta.ema, ta.rsi, and plot is beneficial for enhancing and customizing the script. Additionally, knowledge of conditional plotting and label creation can help in refining the visual output.
RSI to Price RatioThe RSI to Price Ratio is a technical indicator designed to provide traders with a unique perspective by analyzing the relationship between the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the underlying asset's price. Unlike traditional RSI, which is viewed on a scale from 0 to 100, this indicator normalizes the RSI by dividing it by the price, resulting in a dynamic ratio that adjusts to price movements. The histogram format makes it easy to visualize fluctuations, with distinct color coding for overbought (red), oversold (green), and neutral (blue) conditions.
This indicator excels in helping traders identify potential reversal zones and trend continuation signals. Overbought and oversold levels are dynamically adjusted using the price source, making the indicator more adaptive to market conditions. Additionally, the ability to plot these OB/OS thresholds as lines on the histogram ensures traders can quickly assess whether the market is overstretched in either direction. By combining RSI’s momentum analysis with price normalization, this tool is particularly suited for traders who value precision and nuanced insights into market behavior. It can be used as a standalone indicator or in conjunction with other tools to refine entry and exit strategies.

LETF Leveraged Edge Strategy v1.5Overview
The strategy is based on Stochastics to detect trends and then makes Buys and Sell based on custom entry and exit criteria as described below in the Execution Logic Rules section. It will NOT work with standard Stochastics.
This is not a standard Stochastics implementation. It has been customized and modified, and does not match any widely known Stochastics variations (like Fast, Slow, or Full Stochastics) in its smoothing and iterative calculation process with:
• A unique smoothing mechanism.
• Iterative calculations.
• Additional conditional logic for strategy execution.
This strategy is designed to focus on volatile, liquid leveraged ETFs to capture gains equal to or better than Buy and Hold, and mitigate the risk of trading with a goal of reducing drawdown to a lot less than Buy and Hold. It has had successful backtest performance to varying degrees with TQQQ, SOXL, FNGU, TECL, FAS, UPRO, NAIL and SPXL. Results have not been good on other LETFs that have been backtested.
Performance
In this backtest the Net Profit shows to be $4,561 or 45.61%. Considering the initial order size was $1,000 I have to wonder if the Strategy Tester is calculating this correctly. The Strategy Tester Performance Summary shows the Buy and Hold Return at $61,165 or 611.7%. Based on calculating the price of the last shares sold, less the price paid, times the number of initial shares purchased, my math shows the Buy and Hold Gain at $4,572 or about equal with the strategy performance in this case. The Performance Summary also states the strategy had a Max DD of 3.46% which I believe is incorrect. Based on other backtests I’ve done, I believe the strategy drawdown here was closer to 28.4% and the Buy and Hold Drawdown at 82.7%. I manually calculated the Buy and Hold drawdown.
How it Works
The author provides training and support resource materials for this at his website. The strategy execution logic is driven by these rules:
Execution Logic Rules
Buy the LETF When:
BR #1a) The Daily Fast Line (FL) crosses above the Daily Slow Line (SL) and the FL is between the Low (L*) and High (H*) Range set (often referred to as Oversold and Overbought Lines). This can execute (Buy) any trading day of the week.
BR #1b) Re-Buy the next day after any Stop or Take Profit Sell if the Buy Rule condition is true (FL is above SL), if not, remain in cash and wait for the next Buy Signal.
Sell the LETF When:
SR #1a) The Daily Fast Line (FL) crosses below Daily Slow Line (SL) within the Low (L*) and High (H*) Range (often referred to as Oversold and Overbought Lines). “Crossunder Range Exit” This can execute (Sell) any trading day of the week.
SR #1b) If the (FL) crosses Below the SL above the Exit Level*, wait. Only Sell if the FL drops down below the Exit Level* “Crossunder Level Exit” This can execute (Sell) any trading day of the week.
SR #2a) Sell at the open any day the gap-down price is at or below the 1-Day Stop%*, based on previous day’s closing price (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #2b) Sell intraday any day the price is at or below the 1-Day Stop %*, based on previous day’s closing price (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #3a) Sell at the open any day the price is at or below the Trailing Stop %*, based on highest intraday price since Buy date (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #3b) Sell intraday any day the price is at or below the Trailing Stop%*, based on highest intraday price since Buy date (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #4) Sell any day when the opening price exceeds, or intraday price meets the Profit Target % price* (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #5) After each Sell go to Rule BR #1b to determine if a Re-Buy should occur the next day, or stay in cash until next Buy Signal
Settings:

Profit Target: User preference. (I can help with suggestions based on historical performance)
Entry/Exit Conditions
Enter on Tie: Default Checked – if a Fast line crosses a Slow line for a Buy signal, but doesn’t do so in the range set, this will trigger if it crosses at a tie.
Renter – Default Checked – If stopped out of a position, this tells the strategy to re-buy the position the next day if the conditions are still positive.
Exit Level: This is a exit level for a Fast cross below a Slow line that takes place above the Sell Range, but only happens if the Fast continues down to the level set. These usually don’t happen often, but can have a significant impact on performance. Unfortunately, it’s a trial and error process starting with 90 and working down to see if there’s any positive impact.
Trade Range
Buy Range: Start at typical 20 to 80. Expand the low end down first to check on performance impact. Normally a wide buying range is better for performance.
Sell Range: Start at 20 to 80 and tighten gradually to see performance impact. In some cases a very tight sell range does better. I have worked on our primary LETFs for many months to determine ranges for each that typically produce better results.
External Indicator: Some additional indicators have a positive impact on the strategy performance by increasing P/l, reducing drawdown and reducing the number of trades. This is not always the case and each LETF and time period for the LETF will have a bearing on whether the secondary indicator will help or not. Two that have helped are the MACD Histogram, and the Sloe-Velocity Indicator by Kamleshkumar43. Sometimes a couple of different indicators will have a positive impact, then it’s a personal preference which you pick to use with the strategy.
Since this strategy is focused on a very narrow selection of liquid LETFs, I have a lot of experience experimenting with the settings for the primary ones and can suggest things that will help. Additional training on the rules, working with the settings, and mitigating some of the negative trades during choppy markets is available at the website.
Chart
The strategy can be selected to use either a Daily or Weekly version of stochastic. This is important because the characteristics are different while still generating very good gains and minimal drawdowns. Generally, the daily stochastic will have a greater number of, and certainly more frequent, trades than the weekly stochastic. However, on average the daily version of the stochastic will generates greater profitability.
The Settings tabs have tooltip icons that will assist in inputting values that correspond to the written rules for the strategy, and some include specific rule detail.
Buying
The strategy generates Buy signals with the Fast line crossing over the Slow line within a “Buy Range” which is adjusted based on volatility of the leveraged ETF. This is unique in that a default is set for these entries to occur if the values are tied and doesn’t need to be within the high and low range if that occurs. The trader can select in the strategy for this to occur the same day, if he’s selected a Daily Stochastic timeframe, or at the end of the trading week if he’s selected a Weekly stochastic timeframe. The volatility of a leveraged ETF will sometimes cause a shake-out exit, a trailing stop can be hit, or there can be an exit based on taking a profit. A big part of the timing challenge was how to handle these. The strategy normally (set as a default) will immediately re-buy the next day only if the original buy conditions are still true. This helps capture gains when conditions are still favorable but keeps the trader out when they’re not.
Selling
Exits are handled in several ways. The strategy will exit if there is a fast line cross below a slow line within the “range”. The range is adjusted based on volatility of the leveraged ETF. The exit occurs at the close of the day if the trader has selected to use a Daily stochastic setting. The exit will occur at the end of the trading week if the trader has chosen a weekly stochastic strategy. The trader will set a level based on the instrument and volatility for another exit type. The level will sometimes coincide with the range exit high level but does not need to. If a fast line crosses down through a slow line above the level set, and then comes down to that level, the strategy will exit the position.
Another unique aspect of the strategy is the PD Stop setting. This is short for “Prior Day”, Rather than a normal stop based on the price paid for a position, the PD Stop is based on a percentage drop from the previous day’s closing price. This helps account for the volatility of the leveraged ETF and will cause an exit quickly if there’s a market, or index moving event. This helps capture gains and reduce risk should there be continued pullback.
Exits will also occur based on setting a trailing stop level and profit taking level. These are adjusted based on the leveraged ETFs volatility and historical performance.
Limitations
Choppy, or sideways markets are the most prone to poor performance and potential for being stopped out multiple times. If stopped out two consecutive times, make sure you’re monitoring market health and there are clear signs of a new uptrend such as a 10D and 21D MA in proper alignment and moving up. If you get a Buy signal from the strategy and you’re not confident yet about market and price direction then it’s fine to wait a day, or several days, to enter after the Buy signal when you have greater confidence about market direction. The author can help with a short list of tactical rules developed for these sideways or choppy markets.
This strategy has proven successful backtest results with a very limited set of LETFs as discussed earlier. The author does not know if it will prove successful with any others, or other types of ETFs such as 2X or plain ETFs. A lot more testing needs to be done.
The strategy buys and sells , excluding stops or take profit, at the market close. It can be very challenging to enter an order at market close.
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script do not provide any financial advice and are for educational and entertainment purposes only.
Force Volume GradientThis Pine Script is a technical indicator designed for trading platforms, specifically TradingView. It plots the Force Volume Gradient (FVG) and generates buy/sell signals based on the crossover of the FVG line and a signal line.
Key Components:
Force Index: Calculates the exponential moving average (EMA) of the product of the close price and volume.
Force Volume Gradient (FVG): Calculates the EMA of the Force Index.
Signal Line: A simple moving average (SMA) of the FVG.
Buy/Sell Signals: Generated when the FVG line crosses above/below the signal line.
How it Works:
The script calculates the Force Index, which measures the amount of energy or "force" behind price movements.
The FVG is then calculated by applying an EMA to the Force Index, smoothing out the values.
The signal line is a SMA of the FVG, providing a benchmark for buy/sell signals.
When the FVG line crosses above the signal line, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the FVG line crosses below the signal line, a sell signal is generated.
Trading Strategy:
This script can be used as a momentum indicator to identify potential buying or selling opportunities. Traders can use the buy/sell signals as entry/exit points, or combine the FVG with other indicators to create a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Customization:
Users can adjust the input parameters, such as the length of the Force Index and signal line, to suit their individual trading preferences.

Kalman Filter Oscillator v4The Kalman Filter Oscillator v4 is an advanced tool designed to help traders and investors identify trends more effectively while reducing the impact of market noise. As the latest iteration in its development, this version integrates improvements that make it more adaptive and precise, catering to the challenges of today’s financial markets.
This indicator operates on the principle of the Kalman filter, a well-regarded mathematical approach used for estimating the state of a dynamic system. By filtering out random fluctuations, it smooths price data to provide clearer insights into underlying trends. Unlike traditional methods such as moving averages, which often lag and can miss rapid shifts, the Kalman Filter Oscillator is reactive in real time, making it particularly suited for dynamic markets.
Version v4 builds on earlier versions by offering a refined combination of short-term and long-term trend analysis. Through adjustable parameters, traders can balance sensitivity to immediate price changes with a broader perspective of the market direction. Additionally, the oscillator incorporates a unique feature that tracks a price’s position relative to its recent highs and lows, which enhances its ability to pinpoint potential turning points or key market conditions.
The indicator’s value lies in its adaptability and practicality. Traders can use it to confirm trends, identify overbought or oversold conditions, or smooth out erratic price movements, reducing the likelihood of false signals. By presenting information in a clear and actionable format, it allows users to make better-informed decisions with greater confidence.
As of late 2024, the Kalman Filter Oscillator v4 represents a sophisticated yet user-friendly advancement in trend analysis. While not a one-size-fits-all solution, it serves as a valuable component in a trader’s toolkit, complementing other strategies and enhancing overall market understanding.
Ensemble Alerts█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates highly customizable alert conditions and messages by combining several technical conditions into groups , which users can specify directly from the "Settings/Inputs" tab. It offers a flexible framework for building and testing complex alert conditions without requiring code modifications for each adjustment.
█ CONCEPTS
Ensemble analysis
Ensemble analysis is a form of data analysis that combines several "weaker" models to produce a potentially more robust model. In a trading context, one of the most prevalent forms of ensemble analysis is the aggregation (grouping) of several indicators to derive market insights and reinforce trading decisions. With this analysis, traders typically inspect multiple indicators, signaling trade actions when specific conditions or groups of conditions align.
Simplifying ensemble creation
Combining indicators into one or more ensembles can be challenging, especially for users without programming knowledge. It usually involves writing custom scripts to aggregate the indicators and trigger trading alerts based on the confluence of specific conditions. Making such scripts customizable via inputs poses an additional challenge, as it often involves complicated input menus and conditional logic.
This indicator addresses these challenges by providing a simple, flexible input menu where users can easily define alert criteria by listing groups of conditions from various technical indicators in simple text boxes . With this script, you can create complex alert conditions intuitively from the "Settings/Inputs" tab without ever writing or modifying a single line of code. This framework makes advanced alert setups more accessible to non-coders. Additionally, it can help Pine programmers save time and effort when testing various condition combinations.
█ FEATURES
Configurable alert direction
The "Direction" dropdown at the top of the "Settings/Inputs" tab specifies the allowed direction for the alert conditions. There are four possible options:
• Up only : The indicator only evaluates upward conditions.
• Down only : The indicator only evaluates downward conditions.
• Up and down (default): The indicator evaluates upward and downward conditions, creating alert triggers for both.
• Alternating : The indicator prevents alert triggers for consecutive conditions in the same direction. An upward condition must be the first occurrence after a downward condition to trigger an alert, and vice versa for downward conditions.
Flexible condition groups
This script features six text inputs where users can define distinct condition groups (ensembles) for their alerts. An alert trigger occurs if all the conditions in at least one group occur.
Each input accepts a comma-separated list of numbers with optional spaces (e.g., "1, 4, 8"). Each listed number, from 1 to 35, corresponds to a specific individual condition. Below are the conditions that the numbers represent:
1 — RSI above/below threshold
2 — RSI below/above threshold
3 — Stoch above/below threshold
4 — Stoch below/above threshold
5 — Stoch K over/under D
6 — Stoch K under/over D
7 — AO above/below threshold
8 — AO below/above threshold
9 — AO rising/falling
10 — AO falling/rising
11 — Supertrend up/down
12 — Supertrend down/up
13 — Close above/below MA
14 — Close below/above MA
15 — Close above/below open
16 — Close below/above open
17 — Close increase/decrease
18 — Close decrease/increase
19 — Close near Donchian top/bottom (Close > (Mid + HH) / 2)
20 — Close near Donchian bottom/top (Close < (Mid + LL) / 2)
21 — New Donchian high/low
22 — New Donchian low/high
23 — Rising volume
24 — Falling volume
25 — Volume above average (Volume > SMA(Volume, 20))
26 — Volume below average (Volume < SMA(Volume, 20))
27 — High body to range ratio (Abs(Close - Open) / (High - Low) > 0.5)
28 — Low body to range ratio (Abs(Close - Open) / (High - Low) < 0.5)
29 — High relative volatility (ATR(7) > ATR(40))
30 — Low relative volatility (ATR(7) < ATR(40))
31 — External condition 1
32 — External condition 2
33 — External condition 3
34 — External condition 4
35 — External condition 5
These constituent conditions fall into three distinct categories:
• Directional pairs : The numbers 1-22 correspond to pairs of opposing upward and downward conditions. For example, if one of the inputs includes "1" in the comma-separated list, that group uses the "RSI above/below threshold" condition pair. In this case, the RSI must be above a high threshold for the group to trigger an upward alert, and the RSI must be below a defined low threshold to trigger a downward alert.
• Non-directional filters : The numbers 23-30 correspond to conditions that do not represent directional information. These conditions act as filters for both upward and downward alerts. Traders often use non-directional conditions to refine trending or mean reversion signals. For instance, if one of the input lists includes "30", that group uses the "Low relative volatility" condition. The group can trigger an upward or downward alert only if the 7-period Average True Range (ATR) is below the 40-period ATR.
• External conditions : The numbers 31-35 correspond to external conditions based on the plots from other indicators on the chart. To set these conditions, use the source inputs in the "External conditions" section near the bottom of the "Settings/Inputs" tab. The external value can represent an upward, downward, or non-directional condition based on the following logic:
▫ Any value above 0 represents an upward condition.
▫ Any value below 0 represents a downward condition.
▫ If the checkbox next to the source input is selected, the condition becomes non-directional . Any group that uses the condition can trigger upward or downward alerts only if the source value is not 0.
To learn more about using plotted values from other indicators, see this article in our Help Center and the Source input section of our Pine Script™ User Manual.
Group markers
Each comma-separated list represents a distinct group , where all the listed conditions must occur to trigger an alert. This script assigns preset markers (names) to each condition group to make the active ensembles easily identifiable in the generated alert messages and labels. The markers assigned to each group use the format "M", where "M" is short for "Marker" and "x" is the group number. The titles of the inputs at the top of the "Settings/Inputs" tab show these markers for convenience.
For upward conditions, the labels and alert messages show group markers with upward triangles (e.g., "M1▲"). For downward conditions, they show markers with downward triangles (e.g., "M1▼").
NOTE: By default, this script populates the "M1" field with a pre-configured list for a mean reversion group ("2,18,24,28"). The other fields are empty. If any "M*" input does not contain a value, the indicator ignores it in the alert calculations.
Custom alert messages
By default, the indicator's alert message text contains the activated markers and their direction as a comma-separated list. Users can override this message for upward or downward alerts with the two text fields at the bottom of the "Settings/Inputs" tab. When the fields are not empty , the alerts use that text instead of the default marker list.
NOTE: This script generates alert triggers, not the alerts themselves. To set up an alert based on this script's conditions, open the "Create Alert" dialog box, then select the "Ensemble Alerts" and "Any alert() function call" options in the "Condition" tabs. See the Alerts FAQ in our Pine Script™ User Manual for more information.
Condition visualization
This script offers organized visualizations of its conditions, allowing users to inspect the behaviors of each condition alongside the specified groups. The key visual features include:
1) Conditional plots
• The indicator plots the history of each individual condition, excluding the external conditions, as circles at different levels. Opposite conditions appear at positive and negative levels with the same absolute value. The plots for each condition show values only on the bars where they occur.
• Each condition's plot is color-coded based on its type. Aqua and orange plots represent opposing directional conditions, and purple plots represent non-directional conditions. The titles of the plots also contain the condition numbers to which they apply.
• The plots in the separate pane can be turned on or off with the "Show plots in pane" checkbox near the top of the "Settings/Inputs" tab. This input only toggles the color-coded circles, which reduces the graphical load. If you deactivate these visuals, you can still inspect each condition from the script's status line and the Data Window.
• As a bonus, the indicator includes "Up alert" and "Down alert" plots in the Data Window, representing the combined upward and downward ensemble alert conditions. These plots are also usable in additional indicator-on-indicator calculations.
2) Dynamic labels
• The indicator draws a label on the main chart pane displaying the activated group markers (e.g., "M1▲") each time an alert condition occurs.
• The labels for upward alerts appear below chart bars. The labels for downward alerts appear above the bars.
NOTE: This indicator can display up to 500 labels because that is the maximum allowed for a single Pine script.
3) Background highlighting
• The indicator can highlight the main chart's background on bars where upward or downward condition groups activate. Use the "Highlight background" inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab to enable these highlights and customize their colors.
• Unlike the dynamic labels, these background highlights are available for all chart bars, irrespective of the number of condition occurrences.
█ NOTES
• This script uses Pine Script™ v6, the latest version of TradingView's programming language. See the Release notes and Migration guide to learn what's new in v6 and how to convert your scripts to this version.
• This script imports our new Alerts library, which features functions that provide high-level simplicity for working with complex compound conditions and alerts. We used the library's `compoundAlertMessage()` function in this indicator. It evaluates items from "bool" arrays in groups specified by an array of strings containing comma-separated index lists , returning a tuple of "string" values containing the marker of each activated group.
• The script imports the latest version of the ta library to calculate several technical indicators not included in the built-in `ta.*` namespace, including Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA), Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA), Tilson T3, Awesome Oscillator (AO), Full Stochastic (%K and %D), SuperTrend, and Donchian Channels.
• The script uses the `force_overlay` parameter in the label.new() and bgcolor() calls to display the drawings and background colors in the main chart pane.
• The plots and hlines use the available `display.*` constants to determine whether the visuals appear in the separate pane.
Look first. Then leap.
