Dip Hunter [BackQuant]Dip Hunter
What this tool does in plain language
Dip Hunter is a pullback detector designed to find high quality buy-the-dip opportunities inside healthy trends and to avoid random knife catches. It watches for a quick drop from a recent high, checks that the drop happened with meaningful participation and volatility, verifies short-term weakness inside a larger uptrend, then scores the setup and paints the chart so you can act with confidence. It also draws clean entry lines, provides a meter that shows dip strength at a glance, and ships with alerts that match common execution workflows.
How Dip Hunter thinks
It defines a recent swing reference, measures how far price has dipped off that high, and only looks at candidates that meet your minimum percentage drop.
It confirms the dip with real activity by requiring a volume spike and a volatility spike.
It checks structure with two EMAs. Price should be weak in the short term while the larger context remains constructive.
It optionally requires a higher-timeframe trend to be up so you focus on pullbacks in trending markets.
It bundles those checks into a score and shows you the score on the candles and on a gradient meter.
When everything lines up it paints a green triangle below the bar, shades the background, and (if you wish) draws a horizontal entry line at your chosen level.
Inputs and what they mean
Dip Hunter Settings
• Vol Lookback and Vol Spike : The script computes an average volume over the lookback window and flags a spike when current volume is a multiple of that average. A multiplier of 2.0 means today’s volume must be at least double the average. This helps filter noise and focuses on dips that other traders actually traded.
• Fast EMA and Slow EMA : Short-term and medium-term structure references. A dip is more credible if price closes below the fast EMA while the fast EMA is still below the slow EMA during the pullback. That is classic corrective behavior inside a larger trend.
• Price Smooth : Optional smoothing length for price-derived series. Use this if you trade very noisy assets or low timeframes.
• Volatility Len and Vol Spike (volatility) : The script checks both standard deviation and true range against their own averages. If either expands beyond your multiplier the market confirms the move with range.
• Dip % and Lookback Bars : The engine finds the highest high over the lookback window, then computes the percentage drawdown from that high to the current close. Only dips larger than your threshold qualify.
Trend Filter
• Enable Trend Filter : When on, Dip Hunter will only trigger if the market is in an uptrend.
• Trend EMA Period : The longer EMA that defines the session’s backbone trend.
• Minimum Trend Strength : A small positive slope requirement. In practice this means the trend EMA should be rising, and price should be above it. You can raise the value to be more selective.
Entries
• Show Entry Lines : Draws a horizontal guide from the signal bar for a fixed number of bars. Great for limit orders, scaling, or re-tests.
• Line Length (bars) : How far the entry guide extends.
• Min Gap (bars) : Suppresses new entry lines if another dip fired recently. Prevents clutter during choppy sequences.
• Entry Price : Choose the line level. “Low” anchors at the signal candle’s low. “Close” anchors at the signal close. “Dip % Level” anchors at the theoretical level defined by recent_high × (1 − dip%). This lets you work resting orders at a consistent discount.
Heat / Meter
• Color Bars by Score : Colors each candle using a red→white→green gradient. Red is overheated, green is prime dip territory, white is neutral.
• Show Meter Table : Adds a compact gradient strip with a pointer that tracks the current score.
• Meter Cells and Meter Position : Resolution and placement of the meter.
UI Settings
• Show Dip Signals : Plots green triangles under qualifying bars and tints the background very lightly.
• Show EMAs : Plots fast, slow, and the trend EMA (if the trend filter is enabled).
• Bullish, Bearish, Neutral colors : Theme controls for shapes, fills, and bar painting.
Core calculations explained simply
Recent high and dip percent
The script finds the highest high over Lookback Bars , calls it “recent high,” then calculates:
dip% = (recent_high − close) ÷ recent_high × 100.
If dip% is larger than Dip % , condition one passes.
Volume confirmation
It computes a simple moving average of volume over Vol Lookback . If current volume ÷ average volume > Vol Spike , we have a participation spike. It also checks 5-bar ROC of volume. If ROC > 50 the spike is forceful. This gets an extra score point.
Volatility confirmation
Two independent checks:
• Standard deviation of closes vs its own average.
• True range vs ATR.
If either expands beyond Vol Spike (volatility) the move has range. This prevents false triggers from quiet drifts.
Short-term structure
Price should close below the Fast EMA and the fast EMA should be below the Slow EMA at the moment of the dip. That is the anatomy of a pullback rather than a full breakdown.
Macro trend context (optional)
When Enable Trend Filter is on, the Trend EMA must be rising and price must be above it. The logic prefers “micro weakness inside macro strength” which is the highest probability pattern for buying dips.
Signal formation
A valid dip requires:
• dip% > threshold
• volume spike true
• volatility spike true
• close below fast EMA
• fast EMA below slow EMA
If the trend filter is enabled, a rising trend EMA with price above it is also required. When all true, the triangle prints, the background tints, and optional entry lines are drawn.
Scoring and visuals
Binary checks into a continuous score
Each component contributes to a score between 0 and 1. The script then rescales to a centered range (−50 to +50).
• Low or negative scores imply “overheated” conditions and are shaded toward red.
• High positive scores imply “ripe for a dip buy” conditions and are shaded toward green.
• The gradient meter repeats the same logic, with a pointer so you can read the state quickly.
Bar coloring
If you enable “Color Bars by Score,” each candle inherits the gradient. This makes sequences obvious. Red clusters warn you not to buy. White means neutral. Increasing green suggests the pullback is maturing.
EMAs and the trend EMA
• Fast EMA turns down relative to the slow EMA inside the pullback.
• Trend EMA stays rising and above price once the dip exhausts, which is your cue to focus on long setups rather than bottom fishing in downtrends.
Entry lines
When a fresh signal fires and no other signal happened within Min Gap (bars) , the indicator draws a horizontal level for Line Length bars. Use these lines for limit entries at the low, at the close, or at the defined dip-percent level. This keeps your plan consistent across instruments.
Alerts and what they mean
• Market Overheated : Score is deeply negative. Do not chase. Wait for green.
• Close To A Dip : Score has reached a healthy level but the full signal did not trigger yet. Prepare orders.
• Dip Confirmed : First bar of a fresh validated dip. This is the most direct entry alert.
• Dip Active : The dip condition remains valid. You can scale in on re-tests.
• Dip Fading : Score crosses below 0.5 from above. Momentum of the setup is fading. Tighten stops or take partials.
• Trend Blocked Signal : All dip conditions passed but the trend filter is offside. Either reduce risk or skip, depending on your plan.
How to trade with Dip Hunter
Classic pullback in uptrend
Turn on the trend filter.
Watch for a Dip Confirmed alert with green triangle.
Use the entry line at “Dip % Level” to stage a limit order. This keeps your entries consistent across assets and timeframes.
Initial stop under the signal bar’s low or under the next lower EMA band.
First target at prior swing high, second target at a multiple of risk.
If you use partials, trail the remainder under the fast EMA once price reclaims it.
Aggressive intraday scalps
Lower Dip % and Lookback Bars so you catch shallow flags.
Keep Vol Spike meaningful so you only trade when participation appears.
Take quick partials when price reclaims the fast EMA, then exit on Dip Fading if momentum stalls.
Counter-trend probes
Disable the trend filter if you intentionally hunt reflex bounces in downtrends.
Require strong volume and volatility confirmation.
Use smaller size and faster targets. The meter should move quickly from red toward white and then green. If it does not, step aside.
Risk management templates
Stops
• Conservative: below the entry line minus a small buffer or below the signal bar’s low.
• Structural: below the slow EMA if you aim for swing continuation.
• Time stop: if price does not reclaim the fast EMA within N bars, exit.
Position sizing
Use the distance between the entry line and your structural stop to size consistently. The script’s entry lines make this distance obvious.
Scaling
• Scale at the entry line first touch.
• Add only if the meter stays green and price reclaims the fast EMA.
• Stop adding on a Dip Fading alert.
Tuning guide by market and timeframe
Equities daily
• Dip %: 1.5 to 3.0
• Lookback Bars: 5 to 10
• Vol Spike: 1.5 to 2.5
• Volatility Len: 14 to 20
• Trend EMA: 100 or 200
• Keep trend filter on for a cleaner list.
Futures and FX intraday
• Dip %: 0.4 to 1.2
• Lookback Bars: 3 to 7
• Vol Spike: 1.8 to 3.0
• Volatility Len: 10 to 14
• Use Min Gap to avoid clusters during news.
Crypto
• Dip %: 3.0 to 6.0 for majors on higher timeframes, lower on 15m to 1h
• Lookback Bars: 5 to 12
• Vol Spike: 1.8 to 3.0
• ATR and stdev checks help in erratic sessions.
Reading the chart at a glance
• Green triangle below the bar: a validated dip.
• Light green background: the current bar meets the full condition.
• Bar gradient: red is overheated, white is neutral, green is dip-friendly.
• EMAs: fast below slow during the pullback, then reclaim fast EMA on the bounce for quality continuation.
• Trend EMA: a rising spine when the filter is on.
• Entry line: a fixed level to anchor orders and risk.
• Meter pointer: right side toward “Dip” means conditions are maturing.
Why this combination reduces false positives
Any single criterion will trigger too often. Dip Hunter demands a dip off a recent high plus a volume surge plus a volatility expansion plus corrective EMA structure. Optional trend alignment pushes odds further in your favor. The score and meter visualize how many of these boxes you are actually ticking, which is more reliable than a binary dot.
Limitations and practical tips
• Thin or illiquid symbols can spoof volume spikes. Use larger Vol Lookback or raise Vol Spike .
• Sideways markets will show frequent small dips. Increase Dip % or keep the trend filter on.
• News candles can blow through entry lines. Widen stops or skip around known events.
• If you see many back-to-back triangles, raise Min Gap to keep only the best setups.
Quick setup recipes
• Clean swing trader: Trend filter on, Dip % 2.0 to 3.0, Vol Spike 2.0, Volatility Len 14, Fast 20 EMA, Slow 50 EMA, Trend 100 EMA.
• Fast intraday scalper: Trend filter off, Dip % 0.7 to 1.0, Vol Spike 2.5, Volatility Len 10, Fast 9 EMA, Slow 21 EMA, Min Gap 10 bars.
• Crypto swing: Trend filter on, Dip % 4.0, Vol Spike 2.0, Volatility Len 14, Fast 20 EMA, Slow 50 EMA, Trend 200 EMA.
Summary
Dip Hunter is a focused pullback engine. It quantifies a real dip off a recent high, validates it with volume and volatility expansion, enforces corrective structure with EMAs, and optionally restricts signals to an uptrend. The score, bar gradient, and meter make reading conditions instant. Entry lines and alerts turn that read into an executable plan. Tune the thresholds to your market and timeframe, then let the tool keep you patient in red, selective in white, and decisive in green.

How to use it (playbooks)
A) Daily scan workflow
Run on Daily for your VN watchlist.
Turn Composite (Σ) alert on with Σ≥2 or ≥3 to reduce noise.
When a bar fires Σ (or a fav combo like STL + BB↑), drop to 60-min to time entries.
B) Breakout quality check
Look for 52W together with BB↑, TAC, and OBV.
If WER/ND appear near highs → downgrade the breakout.
C) Spring/UTAD reversals
If SPR fires near major support and RBd confirms → long bias with stop below spring low.
If UTD + WER/RS↑ near resistance → short/fade with stop above UTAD high.
D) Accumulation basing
During bases, you want CLS, OBV, TGV, STL, NR7.
A pocket pivot (PIV) can be your early add; manage risk below base lows.
Tuning tips
Too many signals? Raise stealthVolZ to 5.5–6, evrVolZ to 3.5, use Σ≥3.
Fast movers? Lower bbwZthr to −1.0 (less strict squeeze), keep trend filter on.
Illiquid tickers? Keep MAD z-scores on, increase lookbacks (e.g., lenZ=120).
Limitations & good habits
First lenZ bars on a new symbol are less reliable (incomplete z-window).
Some ideas (VWAP magnet, close auction spikes, ETF/foreign flows, options skew) need intraday/external feeds — not included here.
Pine can’t “screen” across the whole market; set alerts or cycle your watchlist.
Quick troubleshooting
Compilation errors: make sure you’re on Pine v6; don’t nest functions in if blocks; each var int must be declared on its own line.
No shapes firing: check trend filter (maybe price is below SMA and you’re waiting for bullish signals), and verify thresholds aren’t too strict.
XAUUSD 1H – FVG Buy/Sell Signals XAUUSD 1H – Fair Value Gap (FVG) Buy/Sell Signals (No Boxes)
What it is:
A clean, signal-only indicator for Gold on the 1-hour chart. It detects 3-bar Fair Value Gaps, waits for a deep retest, then confirms with strong candle structure + trend + ADX before printing a BUY/SELL arrow. No rectangles or clutter—just selective, high-quality signals.
Why it works:
Instead of chasing breakouts, the script hunts for imbalances (FVGs) where price often returns to “fair value.” It only fires when:
price revisits the gap by a configurable depth,
the candle closes beyond the far edge with a small buffer,
the candle body is ≥ ATR × K (confirms intent),
the broader trend (EMA-50/EMA-200) agrees, and
ADX (Wilder, manual) shows sufficient strength.
Key features
✅ Signal-only: arrows/labels—no boxes on chart.
✅ Deep retest logic (percentage of zone), not just a touch.
✅ Strong close filter (edge + buffer) + ATR body filter.
✅ Trend filter (EMA-50 vs EMA-200) to keep trades with the regime.
✅ ADX strength to avoid chop.
✅ One signal per zone (optional “delete on use”).
✅ Alerts for both BUY and SELL.
✅ Built for Pine v6, non-repainting logic on bar close.
Inputs you can tune
Min FVG size (pts) – ignore tiny gaps.
Retest depth (%) – how deep price must come back into the gap.
Close buffer (pts) – extra confirmation beyond zone edge.
Min body ≥ ATR× – candle strength requirement.
Min ADX – trend strength threshold.
Expire after X bars – keep zones fresh.
Delete zone after signal – true = one-shot signals.
How I use it
Apply to XAUUSD 1H.
Keep default filters for selective signals.
For more setups, lower Min FVG size or ADX and reduce retest depth; for stricter signals, do the opposite.
Combine with S/R or session timing (London/NY) for added confluence.
Notes
Signals are generated on bar close.
Designed for clarity and discipline—fewer, cleaner arrows over constant noise.
Works on other symbols/timeframes, but tuned for Gold 1H.

Linh Index Trend & Exhaustion SuitePurpose: One overlay to judge trend, reversal risk, overextension, and volatility squeezes on indexes (built for VNINDEX/VN30, works on any symbol & timeframe).
What it shows
Trend state: Bull / Bear / Transition via 20/50/200 EMAs + slope check.
Overextension heatmap: Background paints when price is stretched vs the 20-EMA by ATR or % (you set the thresholds).
Squeeze detection:
Squeeze ON (yellow dot): Bollinger Bands (20,2) inside Keltner Channels (20,1.5).
Squeeze OFF + Release: White dot; script confirms direction only when close > BB upper (up) or close < BB lower (down).
52-week context: Distance to 52-week high/low (%).
Higher-TF alignment: Optional weekly trend reading shown on the label while you’re on the daily.
Anchored VWAP(s): Two optional AVWAPs from dates you choose (e.g., YTD open, last big gap/earnings).
Plots & labels
EMAs 20/50/200 (toggle on/off).
Optional BB & KC bands for diagnostics.
AVWAP #1 / #2 (optional).
Status label with: Trend, EMAs, Dist to 20-EMA (%, ATR), 52-week distances, HTF state.
Built-in alerts (set “Once per bar close”)
EMA10 ↔ EMA20 cross (early momentum shift)
EMA20 ↔ EMA50 cross (trend confirmation/negation)
Price ↔ EMA200 cross (long-term regime)
Squeeze Release UP / DOWN (BB breakout after squeeze)
Overextension Cool-off UP / DN (stretched vs 20-EMA + momentum rolling)
Near 52-week High (within your % threshold)
How to use (playbook)
Map regime: Prefer trades when Daily = Bull and HTF (Weekly) = Bull (shown on label).
Hunt expansion: Yellow → White dot and close beyond BB = fresh move.
Avoid chasing stretch: If background is painted (overextended vs 20-EMA), wait for a pullback or intraday base.
Locations matter: 52-week proximity + HTF Bull improves breakout quality.
Anchors: Add AVWAP from YTD open or last major gap to frame support/resistance.
Suggested settings
Overextension: ATR = 2.0, % = 4.0 to start; tune per index volatility.
Squeeze bands: BB(20,2) & KC(20,1.5) default are balanced; tighten KC (1.3) for more signals, widen (1.8) for fewer/higher quality.
Timeframes: Daily for signals, Weekly for bias. Optional 65-min for entries.
Multi-EMAMulti-EMA Indicator
This script plots five commonly used Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on your chart for trend identification and trade timing.
Included EMAs & Colors:
EMA 8 — Red
EMA 20 — Orange
EMA 50 — Yellow
EMA 100 — Cyan
EMA 200 — Blue
How to use:
Shorter EMAs (8 & 20) help identify short-term momentum and potential entry/exit points.
Mid-range EMA (50) gives a broader view of intermediate trends.
Longer EMAs (100 & 200) are used to confirm long-term trend direction and key support/resistance zones.
Crossovers between EMAs can signal potential trend changes.
Price trading above most EMAs often signals bullish conditions, while trading below suggests bearish momentum.
Designed to work on any timeframe or market.
Painel Técnico (4H x 1D) — Clean UI + Alertas BrenoG📋 Main Functions
1️⃣ Analysis in two fixed timeframes
4 hours and 1 day analyzed in parallel.
Each column in the table displays the data for its respective timeframe.
2️⃣ Entry point based on oversold conditions
The “entry point” is not the current price, but rather the last candle that went into oversold territory (RSI ≤ configured threshold).
If there has been no recent oversold condition, the current price is used as a fallback.
All calculations (Buy Zone, Stops, TPs) are based on this point.
3️⃣ Buy Zone
Defined as:
java
Copiar
Editar
Low Zone = entry * (1 - width%)
High Zone = entry
Always visible in the table, but alerts can be set to trigger only if RSI is oversold at the moment of entry.
4️⃣ Automatic Stops
Moderate Stop and Conservative Stop, calculated as a % below the entry point.
Displayed in the table with black text on a gray background for emphasis.
Alerts trigger when price crosses below these levels.
5️⃣ Take Profits (TP1–TP4)
Calculated from the entry point:
By percentage (usePercentTP = true) or
By fixed prices (usePercentTP = false).
The table displays:
Target price
% gain over the entry point
They only appear when RSI > 50 and EMA50 > EMA200 (the “alignment” condition).
Alerts trigger only on breakouts upward.
6️⃣ Context Indicators
RSI → shows numeric value and green/red color.
MACD → indicates if the MACD line is above or below the signal line.
EMAs 50/200 → indicates “Golden Cross” or “Death Cross”.
Price vs EMA200 → dedicated row showing “Above” or “Below EMA 200” with green/red color.
7️⃣ Visual Panel
Semi–transparent dark gray background, thin borders.
Colored header:
Blue for 4H
Orange for 1D
Rows separated by data type for easy reading.
Configurable font size (tiny to large).
Table position configurable (top_left, top_right, etc.).
8️⃣ Integrated Alerts
Entry/Exit of Buy Zone
Touch of each TP
Touch of each Stop
RSI entering Oversold
All alerts are separated by timeframe with clear, fixed messages.
📌 Simple Summary:
It’s an intelligent panel that combines multi–timeframe technical analysis, automatic calculation of entries/stops/TPs based on oversold conditions, and ready–to–use alerts — all presented in a visual, compact, and fully configurable format.
Multi-Length Quad Bollinger BandsHere is a Pine Script code for TradingView that plots four separate Bollinger Bands on your chart. The lengths are preset to 14, 50, 100, and 200, but every aspect—including lengths, standard deviations, colors, and the source price—is fully customizable through the script's settings menu.
The 14 and 50-period bands are enabled by default, while the 100 and 200-period bands are disabled to keep the chart clean initially. You can easily toggle any of them on or off.

KRMJ MAoverlays four moving averages on a TradingView chart to help traders identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and dynamic support or resistance levels. It includes a 9-period EMA, 21-period EMA, 20-period SMA, and a 200-period EMA. Each moving average serves a specific role: the 9 EMA responds quickly to price changes and highlights short-term momentum; the 21 EMA smooths out price action slightly more and confirms near-term trends. The 20 SMA provides a simple mid-range trend baseline often used in mean-reversion strategies or range-bound environments. The 200 EMA, a widely recognized long-term trend filter, helps users gauge the dominant market direction.
Adaptive Investment Timing ModelA COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR SYSTEMATIC EQUITY INVESTMENT TIMING
Investment timing represents one of the most challenging aspects of portfolio management, with extensive academic literature documenting the difficulty of consistently achieving superior risk-adjusted returns through market timing strategies (Malkiel, 2003).
Traditional approaches typically rely on either purely technical indicators or fundamental analysis in isolation, failing to capture the complex interactions between market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and company-specific factors that drive asset prices.
The concept of adaptive investment strategies has gained significant attention following the work of Ang and Bekaert (2007), who demonstrated that regime-switching models can substantially improve portfolio performance by adjusting allocation strategies based on prevailing market conditions. Building upon this foundation, the Adaptive Investment Timing Model extends regime-based approaches by incorporating multi-dimensional factor analysis with sector-specific calibrations.
Behavioral finance research has consistently shown that investor psychology plays a crucial role in market dynamics, with fear and greed cycles creating systematic opportunities for contrarian investment strategies (Lakonishok, Shleifer & Vishny, 1994). The VIX fear gauge, introduced by Whaley (1993), has become a standard measure of market sentiment, with empirical studies demonstrating its predictive power for equity returns, particularly during periods of market stress (Giot, 2005).
LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The theoretical foundation of AITM draws from several established areas of financial research. Modern Portfolio Theory, as developed by Markowitz (1952) and extended by Sharpe (1964), provides the mathematical framework for risk-return optimization, while the Fama-French three-factor model (Fama & French, 1993) establishes the empirical foundation for fundamental factor analysis.
Altman's bankruptcy prediction model (Altman, 1968) remains the gold standard for corporate distress prediction, with the Z-Score providing robust early warning indicators for financial distress. Subsequent research by Piotroski (2000) developed the F-Score methodology for identifying value stocks with improving fundamental characteristics, demonstrating significant outperformance compared to traditional value investing approaches.
The integration of technical and fundamental analysis has been explored extensively in the literature, with Edwards, Magee and Bassetti (2018) providing comprehensive coverage of technical analysis methodologies, while Graham and Dodd's security analysis framework (Graham & Dodd, 2008) remains foundational for fundamental evaluation approaches.
Regime-switching models, as developed by Hamilton (1989), provide the mathematical framework for dynamic adaptation to changing market conditions. Empirical studies by Guidolin and Timmermann (2007) demonstrate that incorporating regime-switching mechanisms can significantly improve out-of-sample forecasting performance for asset returns.
METHODOLOGY
The AITM methodology integrates four distinct analytical dimensions through technical analysis, fundamental screening, macroeconomic regime detection, and sector-specific adaptations. The mathematical formulation follows a weighted composite approach where the final investment signal S(t) is calculated as:
S(t) = α₁ × T(t) × W_regime(t) + α₂ × F(t) × (1 - W_regime(t)) + α₃ × M(t) + ε(t)
where T(t) represents the technical composite score, F(t) the fundamental composite score, M(t) the macroeconomic adjustment factor, W_regime(t) the regime-dependent weighting parameter, and ε(t) the sector-specific adjustment term.
Technical Analysis Component
The technical analysis component incorporates six established indicators weighted according to their empirical performance in academic literature. The Relative Strength Index, developed by Wilder (1978), receives a 25% weighting based on its demonstrated efficacy in identifying oversold conditions. Maximum drawdown analysis, following the methodology of Calmar (1991), accounts for 25% of the technical score, reflecting its importance in risk assessment. Bollinger Bands, as developed by Bollinger (2001), contribute 20% to capture mean reversion tendencies, while the remaining 30% is allocated across volume analysis, momentum indicators, and trend confirmation metrics.
Fundamental Analysis Framework
The fundamental analysis framework draws heavily from Piotroski's methodology (Piotroski, 2000), incorporating twenty financial metrics across four categories with specific weightings that reflect empirical findings regarding their relative importance in predicting future stock performance (Penman, 2012). Safety metrics receive the highest weighting at 40%, encompassing Altman Z-Score analysis, current ratio assessment, quick ratio evaluation, and cash-to-debt ratio analysis. Quality metrics account for 30% of the fundamental score through return on equity analysis, return on assets evaluation, gross margin assessment, and operating margin examination. Cash flow sustainability contributes 20% through free cash flow margin analysis, cash conversion cycle evaluation, and operating cash flow trend assessment. Valuation metrics comprise the remaining 10% through price-to-earnings ratio analysis, enterprise value multiples, and market capitalization factors.
Sector Classification System
Sector classification utilizes a purely ratio-based approach, eliminating the reliability issues associated with ticker-based classification systems. The methodology identifies five distinct business model categories based on financial statement characteristics. Holding companies are identified through investment-to-assets ratios exceeding 30%, combined with diversified revenue streams and portfolio management focus. Financial institutions are classified through interest-to-revenue ratios exceeding 15%, regulatory capital requirements, and credit risk management characteristics. Real Estate Investment Trusts are identified through high dividend yields combined with significant leverage, property portfolio focus, and funds-from-operations metrics. Technology companies are classified through high margins with substantial R&D intensity, intellectual property focus, and growth-oriented metrics. Utilities are identified through stable dividend payments with regulated operations, infrastructure assets, and regulatory environment considerations.
Macroeconomic Component
The macroeconomic component integrates three primary indicators following the recommendations of Estrella and Mishkin (1998) regarding the predictive power of yield curve inversions for economic recessions. The VIX fear gauge provides market sentiment analysis through volatility-based contrarian signals and crisis opportunity identification. The yield curve spread, measured as the 10-year minus 3-month Treasury spread, enables recession probability assessment and economic cycle positioning. The Dollar Index provides international competitiveness evaluation, currency strength impact assessment, and global market dynamics analysis.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment
Dynamic threshold adjustment represents a key innovation of the AITM framework. Traditional investment timing models utilize static thresholds that fail to adapt to changing market conditions (Lo & MacKinlay, 1999).
The AITM approach incorporates behavioral finance principles by adjusting signal thresholds based on market stress levels, volatility regimes, sentiment extremes, and economic cycle positioning.
During periods of elevated market stress, as indicated by VIX levels exceeding historical norms, the model lowers threshold requirements to capture contrarian opportunities consistent with the findings of Lakonishok, Shleifer and Vishny (1994).
USER GUIDE AND IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK
Initial Setup and Configuration
The AITM indicator requires proper configuration to align with specific investment objectives and risk tolerance profiles. Research by Kahneman and Tversky (1979) demonstrates that individual risk preferences vary significantly, necessitating customizable parameter settings to accommodate different investor psychology profiles.
Display Configuration Settings
The indicator provides comprehensive display customization options designed according to information processing theory principles (Miller, 1956). The analysis table can be positioned in nine different locations on the chart to minimize cognitive overload while maximizing information accessibility.
Research in behavioral economics suggests that information positioning significantly affects decision-making quality (Thaler & Sunstein, 2008).
Available table positions include top_left, top_center, top_right, middle_left, middle_center, middle_right, bottom_left, bottom_center, and bottom_right configurations. Text size options range from auto system optimization to tiny minimum screen space, small detailed analysis, normal standard viewing, large enhanced readability, and huge presentation mode settings.
Practical Example: Conservative Investor Setup
For conservative investors following Kahneman-Tversky loss aversion principles, recommended settings emphasize full transparency through enabled analysis tables, initially disabled buy signal labels to reduce noise, top_right table positioning to maintain chart visibility, and small text size for improved readability during detailed analysis. Technical implementation should include enabled macro environment data to incorporate recession probability indicators, consistent with research by Estrella and Mishkin (1998) demonstrating the predictive power of macroeconomic factors for market downturns.
Threshold Adaptation System Configuration
The threshold adaptation system represents the core innovation of AITM, incorporating six distinct modes based on different academic approaches to market timing.
Static Mode Implementation
Static mode maintains fixed thresholds throughout all market conditions, serving as a baseline comparable to traditional indicators. Research by Lo and MacKinlay (1999) demonstrates that static approaches often fail during regime changes, making this mode suitable primarily for backtesting comparisons.
Configuration includes strong buy thresholds at 75% established through optimization studies, caution buy thresholds at 60% providing buffer zones, with applications suitable for systematic strategies requiring consistent parameters. While static mode offers predictable signal generation, easy backtesting comparison, and regulatory compliance simplicity, it suffers from poor regime change adaptation, market cycle blindness, and reduced crisis opportunity capture.
Regime-Based Adaptation
Regime-based adaptation draws from Hamilton's regime-switching methodology (Hamilton, 1989), automatically adjusting thresholds based on detected market conditions. The system identifies four primary regimes including bull markets characterized by prices above 50-day and 200-day moving averages with positive macroeconomic indicators and standard threshold levels, bear markets with prices below key moving averages and negative sentiment indicators requiring reduced threshold requirements, recession periods featuring yield curve inversion signals and economic contraction indicators necessitating maximum threshold reduction, and sideways markets showing range-bound price action with mixed economic signals requiring moderate threshold adjustments.
Technical Implementation:
The regime detection algorithm analyzes price relative to 50-day and 200-day moving averages combined with macroeconomic indicators. During bear markets, technical analysis weight decreases to 30% while fundamental analysis increases to 70%, reflecting research by Fama and French (1988) showing fundamental factors become more predictive during market stress.
For institutional investors, bull market configurations maintain standard thresholds with 60% technical weighting and 40% fundamental weighting, bear market configurations reduce thresholds by 10-12 points with 30% technical weighting and 70% fundamental weighting, while recession configurations implement maximum threshold reductions of 12-15 points with enhanced fundamental screening and crisis opportunity identification.
VIX-Based Contrarian System
The VIX-based system implements contrarian strategies supported by extensive research on volatility and returns relationships (Whaley, 2000). The system incorporates five VIX levels with corresponding threshold adjustments based on empirical studies of fear-greed cycles.
Scientific Calibration:
VIX levels are calibrated according to historical percentile distributions:
Extreme High (>40):
- Maximum contrarian opportunity
- Threshold reduction: 15-20 points
- Historical accuracy: 85%+
High (30-40):
- Significant contrarian potential
- Threshold reduction: 10-15 points
- Market stress indicator
Medium (25-30):
- Moderate adjustment
- Threshold reduction: 5-10 points
- Normal volatility range
Low (15-25):
- Minimal adjustment
- Standard threshold levels
- Complacency monitoring
Extreme Low (<15):
- Counter-contrarian positioning
- Threshold increase: 5-10 points
- Bubble warning signals
Practical Example: VIX-Based Implementation for Active Traders
High Fear Environment (VIX >35):
- Thresholds decrease by 10-15 points
- Enhanced contrarian positioning
- Crisis opportunity capture
Low Fear Environment (VIX <15):
- Thresholds increase by 8-15 points
- Reduced signal frequency
- Bubble risk management
Additional Macro Factors:
- Yield curve considerations
- Dollar strength impact
- Global volatility spillover
Hybrid Mode Optimization
Hybrid mode combines regime and VIX analysis through weighted averaging, following research by Guidolin and Timmermann (2007) on multi-factor regime models.
Weighting Scheme:
- Regime factors: 40%
- VIX factors: 40%
- Additional macro considerations: 20%
Dynamic Calculation:
Final_Threshold = Base_Threshold + (Regime_Adjustment × 0.4) + (VIX_Adjustment × 0.4) + (Macro_Adjustment × 0.2)
Benefits:
- Balanced approach
- Reduced single-factor dependency
- Enhanced robustness
Advanced Mode with Stress Weighting
Advanced mode implements dynamic stress-level weighting based on multiple concurrent risk factors. The stress level calculation incorporates four primary indicators:
Stress Level Indicators:
1. Yield curve inversion (recession predictor)
2. Volatility spikes (market disruption)
3. Severe drawdowns (momentum breaks)
4. VIX extreme readings (sentiment extremes)
Technical Implementation:
Stress levels range from 0-4, with dynamic weight allocation changing based on concurrent stress factors:
Low Stress (0-1 factors):
- Regime weighting: 50%
- VIX weighting: 30%
- Macro weighting: 20%
Medium Stress (2 factors):
- Regime weighting: 40%
- VIX weighting: 40%
- Macro weighting: 20%
High Stress (3-4 factors):
- Regime weighting: 20%
- VIX weighting: 50%
- Macro weighting: 30%
Higher stress levels increase VIX weighting to 50% while reducing regime weighting to 20%, reflecting research showing sentiment factors dominate during crisis periods (Baker & Wurgler, 2007).

IMPLEMENTATION AND VALIDATION
The model implementation utilizes comprehensive financial data sourced from established providers, with fundamental metrics updated on quarterly frequencies to reflect reporting schedules. Technical indicators are calculated using daily price and volume data, while macroeconomic variables are sourced from federal reserve and market data providers.
Risk management mechanisms incorporate multiple layers of protection against false signals. The bankruptcy risk filter utilizes Altman Z-Scores below 1.8 combined with current ratios below 1.0 to identify companies facing potential financial distress. Liquidity crisis detection employs quick ratios below 0.5 combined with cash-to-debt ratios below 0.1. Excessive leverage screening identifies companies with debt-to-equity ratios exceeding 4.0 and interest coverage ratios below 2.0.
Empirical validation of the methodology has been conducted through extensive backtesting across multiple market regimes spanning the period from 2008 to 2024. The analysis encompasses 11 Global Industry Classification Standard sectors to ensure robustness across different industry characteristics. Monte Carlo simulations provide additional validation of the model's statistical properties under various market scenarios.
RESULTS AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
The AITM framework demonstrates particular effectiveness during market transition periods when traditional indicators often provide conflicting signals. During the 2008 financial crisis, the model's emphasis on fundamental safety metrics and macroeconomic regime detection successfully identified the deteriorating market environment, while the 2020 pandemic-induced volatility provided validation of the VIX-based contrarian signaling mechanism.
Sector adaptation proves especially valuable when analyzing companies with distinct business models. Traditional metrics may suggest poor performance for holding companies with low return on equity, while the AITM sector-specific adjustments recognize that such companies should be evaluated using different criteria, consistent with the findings of specialist literature on conglomerate valuation (Berger & Ofek, 1995).
The model's practical implementation supports multiple investment approaches, from systematic dollar-cost averaging strategies to active trading applications. Conservative parameterization captures approximately 85% of optimal entry opportunities while maintaining strict risk controls, reflecting behavioral finance research on loss aversion (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979). Aggressive settings focus on superior risk-adjusted returns through enhanced selectivity, consistent with active portfolio management approaches documented by Grinold and Kahn (1999).
LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE RESEARCH
Several limitations constrain the model's applicability and should be acknowledged. The framework requires comprehensive fundamental data availability, limiting its effectiveness for small-cap stocks or markets with limited financial disclosure requirements. Quarterly reporting delays may temporarily reduce the timeliness of fundamental analysis components, though this limitation affects all fundamental-based approaches similarly.
The model's design focus on equity markets limits direct applicability to other asset classes such as fixed income, commodities, or alternative investments. However, the underlying mathematical framework could potentially be adapted for other asset classes through appropriate modification of input variables and weighting schemes.
Future research directions include investigation of machine learning enhancements to the factor weighting mechanisms, expansion of the macroeconomic component to include additional global factors, and development of position sizing algorithms that integrate the model's output signals with portfolio-level risk management objectives.
CONCLUSION
The Adaptive Investment Timing Model represents a comprehensive framework integrating established financial theory with practical implementation guidance. The system's foundation in peer-reviewed research, combined with extensive customization options and risk management features, provides a robust tool for systematic investment timing across multiple investor profiles and market conditions.
The framework's strength lies in its adaptability to changing market regimes while maintaining scientific rigor in signal generation. Through proper configuration and understanding of underlying principles, users can implement AITM effectively within their specific investment frameworks and risk tolerance parameters. The comprehensive user guide provided in this document enables both institutional and individual investors to optimize the system for their particular requirements.
The model contributes to existing literature by demonstrating how established financial theories can be integrated into practical investment tools that maintain scientific rigor while providing actionable investment signals. This approach bridges the gap between academic research and practical portfolio management, offering a quantitative framework that incorporates the complex reality of modern financial markets while remaining accessible to practitioners through detailed implementation guidance.

Candle Channel█ OVERVIEW
The "Candle Channel" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool that plots a price channel based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of candlestick midpoints. The channel bands, calculated based on candlestick volatility, form dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to price movements. The script generates signals for reversals from the bands and SMA breakouts, making it useful for both short-term and long-term traders. By adjusting the SMA length, the channel can vary in nature—from a wide channel encapsulating price movement to narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands. The channel width can be further customized using a scaling parameter, allowing adaptation to different trading styles and markets.
█ MECHANISM
Band Calculation
The indicator is based on the following calculations:
Candlestick Midpoint: Calculated as the arithmetic average of the candle’s high and low prices: (high + low) / 2.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The average of candlestick midpoints over a specified length (default: 20 candles), forming the channel’s centerline.
Average Candle Height: Calculated as the average difference between the high and low prices (high - low) over the same SMA length, serving as a measure of market volatility.
Band Scaling: The user specifies a percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%), which is multiplied by the average height to create an offset. The upper band is SMA + offset, and the lower band is SMA - offset.Example: For an average candle height of 10 points and 200% scaling, the offset is 20 points, meaning the bands are ±20 points from the SMA.
Channel Characteristics: The SMA length determines the channel’s dynamics. Shorter SMA values (10–30) create a wide channel that contains price movement, ideal for scalping or short-term trading. Longer SMA values (above 30, e.g., 50–100) transform the channel into narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, suitable for longer-term analysis. Band scaling further adjusts the channel width to match market volatility.
Signals
Reversal from Bands: Signals are generated when the price closes outside the band (above the upper or below the lower) and then returns to the channel, indicating a potential trend reversal.
SMA Breakout: Signals are generated when the price crosses the SMA upward (bullish signal) or downward (bearish signal), suggesting potential trend changes.
Visualization
Centerline: The SMA of candlestick midpoints, displayed as a thin line.
Channel Bands: Upper and lower channel boundaries, with customizable colors.
Fill: Options include a gradient (smooth color transition between bands) or solid color. The fill can also be disabled for greater clarity.
█ FEATURES AND SETTINGS
SMA Length: Determines the moving average period (default: 20). Values of 10–30 are suitable for a wide channel containing price movement, ideal for short-term timeframes. Longer values (e.g., 50–100) create narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, better suited for higher timeframes.
Band Scaling: Percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%). Adjusts the channel width to match market volatility—smaller values (e.g., 50–100%) for narrower bands, larger values (e.g., 200–300%) for wider channels.
Fill Type: Gradient, solid, or no fill, allowing customization to user preferences.
Colors: Options to change the colors of bands, fill, and signals for better readability.
Signals: Options to enable/disable reversal signals from bands and SMA breakout signals.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the script to your chart in TradingView by clicking "Add to Chart" in the Pine Editor.
Adjust input parameters in the script settings:
SMA Length: Set to 10–30 for a wide channel containing price movement, suitable for scalping or short-term trading. Set above 30 (e.g., 50–100) for narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands.
Band Scaling: Adjust the channel width to market volatility. Smaller values (50–100%) for tighter support/resistance bands, larger values (200–300%) for wider channels containing price movement.
Fill Type and Colors: Choose a gradient for aesthetics or a solid fill for clarity.
Analyze signals:
Reversal Signals: Triangles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate potential reversal points.
SMA Breakout Signals: Circles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate trend changes.
Test the indicator on different instruments and timeframes to find optimal settings for your trading style.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator may generate false signals in highly volatile or consolidating markets.
On low-liquidity charts (e.g., exotic currency pairs), the bands may be less reliable.
Effectiveness depends on properly matching parameters to the market and timeframe.
トレンドフォローBUY&SELL ver1.1Indicator Description
This indicator displays three moving averages (MAs) and generates buy and sell signals based on their crossovers. It’s designed to help traders easily follow the trend and avoid counter-trend trades.
1. Three Moving Averages
MA1 (Default: 7) – Short-term trend (Yellow)
MA2 (Default: 50) – Medium-term trend (Blue)
MA3 (Default: 200) – Long-term trend (Red), also used as a filter
2. Signal Types
(A) MA1 and MA3 Crossovers (Yellow Signals)
Golden Cross (BUY): MA1 crosses above MA3
Dead Cross (SELL): MA1 crosses below MA3
→ Helps identify shifts between short-term and long-term trends.
(B) MA1 and MA2 Crossovers (Green & Red Signals)
BUY (Green): MA1 and MA2 cross, and both are above MA3
SELL (Red): MA1 and MA2 cross, and both are below MA3
→ Only trend-aligned signals are shown (buy only above MA3, sell only below MA3).
(C) Gray Signals (Filtered-Out Signals)
If MA1 and MA2 cross but don’t meet the MA3 condition, a gray signal is displayed.
Example: “BUY” below MA3 or “SELL” above MA3 appears as gray.
→ This feature is ON by default but can be turned OFF in the settings.
3. Alerts
Alerts can be triggered for:
MA1 × MA3 Golden Cross / Dead Cross
MA1 × MA2 BUY / SELL (with MA3 filter)
This allows you to receive notifications when valid trade setups occur.

MA Crossover Detector
The Moving Average Crossover Detector is a custom indicator that visually shows buy and sell signals clearly on the chart. based on the crossing of two moving averages — a popular and beginner-friendly tool in technical analysis.
It plots two moving averages — One fast (short period) and one slow (long period) — and highlights crossover points:
✅ Buy Signal (Golden Cross) – When the fast MA crosses above the slow MA.
❌ Sell Signal (Death Cross) – When the fast MA crosses below the slow MA.
✅ Features
Visual: Clearly shows crossovers on the chart.
Customizable: Choose periods, types, styles, etc.
Alert-ready: You can set alerts for crossovers.
The Moving Average (MA) Crossover Strategy is one of the simplest and most widely used strategies in technical analysis for trading stocks, forex, crypto, and other markets. It relies on the interaction between two moving averages to generate buy and sell signals.
Core Components
Short-Term Moving Average (Fast MA) : Reacts quickly to price changes (e.g., 9-period or 20-period).
Long-Term Moving Average (Slow MA) : Reacts more slowly to price changes (e.g., 21-period or 200-period).
How the Strategy Works
Bullish Crossover (Golden Cross):
Occurs when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA. Interpreted as a buy signal, indicating a potential uptrend.
Bearish Crossover (Death Cross):
Occurs when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA. Interpreted as a sell signal, indicating a potential downtrend.
Common Variants
Short-term trading
9 EMA
21 EMA
Swing trading
20 SMA
50 SMA
Long-term investing
50 SMA
200 SMA
Pros
Easy to understand and implement
Works well in trending markets
Can be automated for backtesting and execution
Cons
Lagging indicator: MAs are based on past prices, so signals come after the move has started.
Choppy markets = whipsaws: Generates false signals in sideways/range-bound conditions.
May underperform in volatile or mean-reverting environments
Tips for Improvement
Use confirmation tools : e.g., RSI, MACD, volume analysis, price action
Add filters : Trend filter (ADX), volatility filter (ATR), or time filter (session-based)
Combine with price structure : Support/resistance, breakouts, pullbacks
Flexi MA Reversal🔹 FlexiMA Reversal – Customizable MA-Based Reversal Indicator
FlexiMA Reversal is a real-time, moving average-based reversal indicator designed to highlight potential market turning points using signal and alert lines. It provides visual cues for both early alerts and confirmed entry signals on candle close.
🔧 Key Features:
Customizable Moving Average Type: Choose from EMA, SMA, WMA, or VWMA (default is EMA).
Flexible MA Inputs: Configure up to three MAs (commonly used 5, 50, and 200).
Toggle Visibility: Enable or disable each MA line as needed.
Real-Time Alert System:
Thin alert lines appear when a potential reversal is detected.
Thicker signal lines confirm the reversal when price closes beyond the alert level.
Optional Visual Styling:
Choose custom colors for each MA, signal, and alert line.
Alert candles are automatically colored to match the corresponding alert line.
Option to show only signal lines for cleaner charts.
Customizable projection length for both alert and signal lines.
📈 Strategy Logic:
This indicator is designed to detect reversal opportunities based on the relationship between price and a selected short-term moving average.
Bullish Setup:
Price closes below the selected MA (e.g., EMA 5).
A bullish alert line is drawn at the high.
If a subsequent candle closes above the alert line and the MA, a bullish signal line is plotted.
Bearish Setup:
Price closes above the selected MA.
A bearish alert line is drawn at the low.
If a subsequent candle closes below the alert line and the MA, a bearish signal line is plotted.
This approach attempts to capture quick market shifts where short-term momentum reverses direction near key MA levels.
🎯 How to Use:
Although originally developed using the 5 EMA strategy, through testing it was found that using 6, 7, or 8 EMA offers even better signal quality.
To add broader trend context, 50 MA and 200 MA lines are included and can be toggled on/off based on your strategy preference.
🔍 Trend Filtering & Re-Entry Tips:
Due to the nature of shorter moving averages, reversal signals may appear frequently. For better trend alignment:
Use the 50 MA as a trend filter:
❌ Ignore bearish signals when price is above 50 MA
❌ Ignore bullish signals when price is below 50 MA
Alternatively, filtered-out signals can be used for re-entry within the trend:
For example, if you receive a bearish alert and signal above the 50 MA, and the next candle closes back above the bearish alert line, this may be interpreted as a bullish re-entry opportunity into the prevailing uptrend.
🛠️ Styling Tips:
You can disable alert candle coloring in the Style tab of the indicator settings.
Use the "Show Only Signal Lines" checkbox to keep the chart minimalistic while still tracking confirmed entries.

N-Pattern Detector (Advanced Logic)Introduction
The N-Pattern Detector (Advanced Logic) is a powerful Pine Script-based tool designed to identify a specific price structure known as the "N-pattern", which often indicates trend continuation or potential breakout points in the market. This pattern combines zigzag pivot logic, retracement filters, volume confirmation, and trend alignment, offering high-probability trading signals.
It is ideal for traders who want to automate pattern detection while applying smart filters to reduce false signals in various markets — including stocks, forex, crypto, and indices.
What is the N-Pattern?
The N-pattern is a 3-leg price formation consisting of points A-B-C-D. It typically follows this structure:
Bullish N-Pattern:
A → Low Pivot
B → Higher High (Impulse)
C → Higher Low (Retracement)
D → Breakout above B (Confirmation)
Bearish N-Pattern:
A → High Pivot
B → Lower Low (Impulse)
C → Lower High (Retracement)
D → Breakdown below B (Confirmation)
The pattern essentially reflects a trend–pullback–breakout structure, making it suitable for continuation trades.
Key Features
1. Intelligent ZigZag Pivot Detection
Uses pivot highs/lows to define key swing points (A, B, C).
Adjustable ZigZag depth to control pattern sensitivity.
Filters noise and avoids false signals in volatile markets.
2. Retracement Validation
Validates the B→C leg as a proper pullback using Fibonacci-based thresholds.
User-defined min and max retracement settings (e.g., 38.2% to 78.6% of A→B leg).
3. Trend Filter via EMA
Filters patterns based on trend direction using a customizable EMA (e.g., 200 EMA).
Only detects bullish patterns above EMA and bearish patterns below EMA (optional).
4. Volume Confirmation
Ensures that impulse legs (A→B, C→D) are supported by stronger volume than the correction leg (B→C).
Adds another layer of confirmation and reliability to detected patterns.
5. Target Projections
Automatically draws 100% A→B projected target from point C.
Optional Fibonacci extensions at 1.272 and 1.618 levels for take-profit planning.
Visually plotted on the chart with colored dashed/dotted lines.
6. Clear Visuals & Labels
Connects all pattern points with colored lines.
Clearly labels points A, B, C, D on the chart.
Uses customizable colors for bullish and bearish patterns.
Includes real-time alerts when a valid pattern is detected.
How to Use It
Add to Chart
Apply the indicator to any chart and time frame. It works across all asset classes.
Adjust Inputs (Optional)
Set ZigZag Depth to control pivot detection sensitivity.
Define Min/Max Retracement levels to match your trading style.
Enable or disable Trend and Volume filters for cleaner signals.
Customize EMA length (default: 200) for trend validation.
Wait for Pattern Confirmation
The indicator constantly scans for valid N-patterns.
A pattern is confirmed only after point D forms (breakout or breakdown).
You’ll see the full pattern drawn with target levels.
Set Alerts
Alerts trigger automatically on confirmation of a bullish or bearish pattern.
You can customize these in TradingView’s alerts panel.
TZanalyserTZanalyser (Trend Zone Monitor With Trend Strength, Volume Focus And -Events Markers)
Before I used TrendZones to manage my portfolio I used Fibonacci Zone Oscillator as my favorite in the sub panel, accompanied with another subpanel indicator which I never published called IncliValue and also REVE Cohorts.
TZanalyser inherits Ideas and code from all three of them: The visual and the idea of using a channel as the basis for an oscillator depicted as a histogram, is taken from the FibZone Oscillator. The idea of providing a number to evaluate the trend is taken from IncliValue. The idea to create a horizontal line which indicates high and low volume focus completed with markers for volume events, is taken from REVE-cohorts.
These ideas are combined in one sleek visual called TZanalyser. TZ stand for TrendZones, because the histogram is based on it.
The histogram.
Depicted is the distance of the price from COG as percent. The distance between Upper Curve and Lower Curve is used as 100%. The values may reach between 300 and -300. The colors indicate in which zone the candle lives, blue in the blue zone, green in the green zone etc. Despite the absence of a gray zone, there are gray bars. These depict candles that wrap around COG. Because hl2 is used as price, some gray bars point up and others down. The orange and red bars point down because the orange and red downtrend zones are below COG.
Use of the histogram.
Sometimes I need to create a list of stocks which are in uptrend in monthly, weekly and daily charts from the stocks I follow in my universe. This job is done fast and easy by looking at the last bar of the histogram. The histogram also gives a quick evaluation of how the stock fared in the past.
The number.
Suppose I need to allocate some money to another stock, selected a few, looked into news and gurus and they look equally good. Then it is nice to be able to find out which has the best charts. Which one has the strongest uptrend. For this purpose this number can be consulted, because it indicates somehow the strength of the trend. It is an integer between 20 and -20, the closer to 20 the stronger the uptrend, closer to -20 indicates a stronger downtrend. The color of the background is the same as the last column of the histogram.
Volume focus and events
The horizontal lines depict volume focus, the line below the focus that comes with the uptrend columns pointing up, the one above the focus for the downtrend columns pointing down. Thes line have tree colors: maroon for high volume focus, green for normal volume and gray for low volume situations. Between the lines and the histogram triangles appear at volume events, a green triangle when the candle comes with high volume, i.e. 120-200 percent of normal, maroon when extreme volume, i.e. more than 200 percent of normal.
The direction of these triangles is that of the histogram, i.e. when the price is higher, direction is up and vice versa.
Take care and have fun.
Dynamic Gap Probability ToolDynamic Gap Probability Tool measures the percentage gap between price and a chosen moving average, then analyzes your chart history to estimate the likelihood of the next candle moving up or down. It dynamically adjusts its sample size to ensure statistical robustness while focusing on the exact deviation level.
Originality and Value:
• Combines gap-based analysis with dynamic sample aggregation to balance precision and reliability.
• Automatically extends the sample when exact matches are scarce, avoiding misleading signals on rare extreme moves.
• Provides real “next-candle” probabilities based on historical occurrences rather than fixed thresholds or untested heuristics.
• Adds value by giving traders an evidence-based edge: you see how similar past deviations actually played out.
How It Works:
1. Calculate gap = (close – moving average) / moving average * 100.
2. Round the absolute gap to nearest percent (X%).
3. Count historical bars where gap ≥ X% above or ≤ –X% below.
4. If exact X% count is below the minimum occurrences threshold, include gaps at X+1%, X+2%, etc., until threshold is reached.
5. Compute “next-candle” green vs. red probabilities from the aggregated sample.
6. Display current gap, sample size, green probability, and red probability in a table.
Inputs:
• Moving Average Type (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, SMMA, TMA)
• Moving Average Period (default 200)
• Minimum Occurrences Threshold (default 50)
• Table position and styling options
Examples:
• If price is 3% above the 200-period SMA and 120 occurrences ≥3% are found, with 84 green next candles (70%) and 36 red (30%), the script displays “3% | 120 | 70% green | 30% red.”
• If price is 8% below the SMA but only 20 exact matches exist, the script will include 9% and 10% gaps until it reaches 50 samples, then calculate probabilities from that broader set.
Why It’s Useful:
• Mean-reversion traders see green-probability signals at extreme overbought or oversold levels.
• Trend-followers identify continuation likelihood when red probability is high.
• Risk managers gauge reliability by inspecting sample size before acting on any signal.
Limitations:
• Historical probabilities do not guarantee future performance.
• Results depend on timeframe and symbol, backtest with your data before trading.
• Use realistic slippage and commission when overlaying on strategy scripts.

Technical Details
Calculation Method
Divides the price range into equal levels based on TPO Levels setting
For each time block, determines which price levels it crosses
Adds +1 count to each crossed level
Identifies POC as the level with highest count
Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until target percentage is reached
Performance Considerations
Historical data limited to prevent buffer overflow errors
Smart bounds checking for different timeframes
Optimized cleanup routines to prevent drawing object accumulation
Pine Script Version
Built on Pine Script v6
Uses modern Pine Script best practices
Efficient array handling and drawing object management
Best Practices
Timeframe Selection
Block Time = Chart Timeframe : Traditional TPO approach
Block Time > Chart Timeframe : Smoother, broader perspective
Block Time < Chart Timeframe : More granular, detailed analysis
Level Count Guidelines
Low levels (10-20) : Better for swing trading, major levels
High levels (50-100) : Better for scalping, precise entries
Very high levels (100+) : For very detailed analysis
Mode Selection
Bars Back : Daily analysis, recent activity
Fixed Range : Historical events, specific periods, manual composites
Anchor : Live monitoring, event-based analysis, growing composites
Composite Creation Workflow
Select Fixed Range or Anchor mode
Set your desired start time (and end time for Fixed Range)
Adjust TPO Levels for desired granularity
Enable VAH/VAL lines to see Value Area boundaries

This indicator eliminates the tedious manual process of creating composite TPO profiles in TradingView. Instead of splitting sessions and manually merging them, you get instant composite analysis with automatic Value Area calculation, POC identification, and single print detection. The combination of time-based analysis, multiple operating modes, and extensive customization options makes it a powerful tool for understanding market structure and price acceptance levels across any time period.
Ticker Pulse Meter + Fear EKG StrategyDescription
The Ticker Pulse Meter + Fear EKG Strategy is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential entry and exit points for long positions based on price action relative to historical ranges. It combines two proprietary indicators: the Ticker Pulse Meter (TPM), which measures price positioning within short- and long-term ranges, and the Fear EKG, a VIX-inspired oscillator that detects extreme market conditions. The strategy is non-repainting, ensuring signals are generated only on confirmed bars to avoid false positives. Visual enhancements, such as optional moving averages and Bollinger Bands, provide additional context but are not core to the strategy's logic. This script is suitable for traders seeking a systematic approach to capturing momentum and mean-reversion opportunities.
How It Works
The strategy evaluates price action using two key metrics:
Ticker Pulse Meter (TPM): Measures the current price's position within short- and long-term price ranges to identify momentum or overextension.
Fear EKG: Detects extreme selling pressure (akin to "irrational selling") by analyzing price behavior relative to historical lows, inspired by volatility-based oscillators.
Entry signals are generated when specific conditions align, indicating potential buying opportunities. Exits are triggered based on predefined thresholds or partial position closures to manage risk. The strategy supports customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and exit percentages, allowing flexibility across different markets and timeframes. Visual cues, such as entry/exit dots and a position table, enhance usability, while optional overlays like moving averages and Bollinger Bands provide additional chart context.
Calculation Overview
Price Range Calculations:
Short-Term Range: Uses the lowest low (min_price_short) and highest high (max_price_short) over a user-defined short lookback period (lookback_short, default 50 bars).
Long-Term Range: Uses the lowest low (min_price_long) and highest high (max_price_long) over a user-defined long lookback period (lookback_long, default 200 bars).
Percentage Metrics:
pct_above_short: Percentage of the current close above the short-term range.
pct_above_long: Percentage of the current close above the long-term range.
Combined metrics (pct_above_long_above_short, pct_below_long_below_short) normalize price action for signal generation.
Signal Generation:
Long Entry (TPM): Triggered when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above a user-defined threshold (entryThresholdhigh, default 20) and pct_below_long_below_short is below a low threshold (entryThresholdlow, default 40).
Long Entry (Fear EKG): Triggered when pct_below_long_below_short crosses under an extreme threshold (orangeEntryThreshold, default 95), indicating potential oversold conditions.
Long Exit: Triggered when pct_above_long_above_short crosses under a profit-taking level (profitTake, default 95). Partial exits are supported via a user-defined percentage (exitAmt, default 50%).
Non-Repainting Logic: Signals are calculated using data from the previous bar ( ) and only plotted on confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed), ensuring reliability.
Visual Enhancements:
Optional moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or SMMA) and Bollinger Bands can be enabled for trend context.
A position table displays real-time metrics, including open positions, Fear EKG, and Ticker Pulse values.
Background highlights mark periods of high selling pressure.
Entry Rules
Long Entry:
TPM Signal: Occurs when the price shows strength relative to both short- and long-term ranges, as defined by pct_above_long_above_short crossing above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short below entryThresholdlow.
Fear EKG Signal: Triggered by extreme selling pressure, when pct_below_long_below_short crosses under orangeEntryThreshold. This signal is optional and can be toggled via enable_yellow_signals.
Entries are executed only on confirmed bars to prevent repainting.
Exit Rules
Long Exit: Triggered when pct_above_long_above_short crosses under profitTake.
Partial exits are supported, with the strategy closing a user-defined percentage of the position (exitAmt) up to four times per position (exit_count limit).
Exits can be disabled or adjusted via enable_short_signal and exitPercentage settings.
Inputs
Backtest Start Date: Defines the start of the backtesting period (default: Jan 1, 2017).
Lookback Periods: Short (lookback_short, default 50) and long (lookback_long, default 200) periods for range calculations.
Resolution: Timeframe for price data (default: Daily).
Entry/Exit Thresholds:
entryThresholdhigh (default 20): Threshold for TPM entry.
entryThresholdlow (default 40): Secondary condition for TPM entry.
orangeEntryThreshold (default 95): Threshold for Fear EKG entry.
profitTake (default 95): Exit threshold.
exitAmt (default 50%): Percentage of position to exit.
Visual Options: Toggle for moving averages and Bollinger Bands, with customizable types and lengths.
Notes
The strategy is designed to work across various timeframes and assets, with data sourced from user-selected resolutions (i_res).
Alerts are included for long entry and exit signals, facilitating integration with TradingView's alert system.
The script avoids repainting by using confirmed bar data and shifted calculations ( ).
Visual elements (e.g., SMA, Bollinger Bands) are inspired by standard Pine Script practices and are optional, not integral to the core logic.
Usage
Apply the script to a chart, adjust input settings to suit your trading style, and use the visual cues (entry/exit dots, position table) to monitor signals. Enable alerts for real-time notifications.
Designed to work best on Daily timeframe.
Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.
