Grand Master's Candlestick Dominance (ATR Enhanced)### Grand Master's Candlestick Dominance (ATR Enhanced)
**Overview**
Unleash the ancient wisdom of Japanese candlestick charting with a modern twist! This comprehensive Pine Script v5 strategy and indicator scans for over 75 classic and advanced candlestick patterns (bullish, bearish, and neutral), assigning dynamic strength scores (1-10) to each for precise signal filtering. Enhanced with Average True Range (ATR) for volatility-aware body size validation, it dominates the markets by combining timeless pattern recognition with robust confirmation layers. Whether used as a backtestable strategy or visual indicator, it empowers traders to spot high-probability reversals, continuations, and indecision setups with surgical accuracy.
Inspired by Steve Nison's *Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques*, this tool elevates pattern analysis beyond basics—think Hammers, Engulfing patterns, Morning Stars, and rare gems like Abandoned Baby or Concealing Baby Swallow—all consolidated into intelligent arrays for real-time averaging and prioritization.
**Key Features**
- **Extensive Pattern Library**:
- **Bullish (25+ patterns)**: Hammer (8.0), Bullish Engulfing (10.0), Morning Star (7.0), Three White Soldiers (9.0), Dragonfly Doji (8.0), and more (e.g., Rising Three, Unique Three River Bottom).
- **Bearish (25+ patterns)**: Hanging Man (8.0), Bearish Engulfing (10.0), Evening Star (7.0), Three Black Crows (9.0), Gravestone Doji (8.0), and exotics like Upside Gap Two Crows or Stalled Pattern.
- **Neutral/Indecision (34+ patterns)**: Doji variants (Long-Legged, Four Price), Spinning Tops, Harami Crosses, and multi-bar setups like Upside Tasuki Gap or Advancing Block.
Each pattern includes duration tracking (1-5 bars) and ATR-adjusted body/shadow criteria for relevance in volatile conditions.
- **Smart Confirmation Filters** (All Toggleable):
- **Trend Alignment**: 20-period SMA (customizable) ensures entries align with the prevailing trend; optional higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) MA crossover for multi-timeframe confluence.
- **Support/Resistance (S/R)**: Pivot-based levels with 0.01% tolerance to confirm bounces or breaks.
- **Volume Surge**: 20-period volume MA with 1.5x spike multiplier to validate momentum.
- **ATR Body Sizing**: Filters small bodies (<0.3x ATR) and long bodies (>0.8x ATR) for context-aware pattern reliability.
- **Follow-Through**: Ensures post-pattern confirmation via bullish/bearish closes or closes beyond prior bars.
Minimum average strength (default 7.0) and individual pattern thresholds (5.0) prevent weak signals.
- **Entry & Exit Logic**:
- **Long Entry**: Bullish average strength ≥7.0 (outweighing bearish), uptrend, volume spike, near support, follow-through, and HTF alignment.
- **Short Entry**: Mirror for bearish dominance in downtrends near resistance.
- **Exits**: Bearish/neutral shift, or fixed TP (5%) / SL (2%)—pyramiding disabled, 10% equity sizing.
- Backtest range: Jan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2025 (editable). Initial capital: $10,000.
- **Interactive Dashboard** (Top-Right Panel):
Real-time insights including:
- Market phase (e.g., "Bullish Phase (Avg Str: 8.2)"), active pattern (e.g., "BULLISH: Bullish Engulfing (Str: 10.0, Bars: 2)"), and trend status.
- Strength breakdowns (Bull/Bear/Neutral counts & averages).
- Filter status (e.g., "Volume: ✔ Spike", "ATR: Enabled (L:0.8, S:0.3)").
- Backtest stats: Total trades, win rate, streak, and last entry/exit details (price & timestamp).
Toggle mode: Strategy (live trades) or Indicator (signals only).
- **Advanced Alerts** (15+ Toggleable Types):
Set up via TradingView's "Any alert() function call" for bar-close triggers:
- Entry/Exit signals with strength & pattern details.
- Strong patterns (≥2 bullish/bearish), neutral indecision, volume spikes.
- S/R breakouts, HTF reversals, high-confidence singles (≥8.0 strength).
- Conflicting signals, MA crossovers, ATR volatility bursts, multi-bar completions.
Example: "STRONG BULLISH PATTERN detected! Strength: 9.5 | Top Pattern: Three White Soldiers | Trend: Up".
**Customization & Usage Tips**
- **Inputs Groups**: Strategy toggles, confirmations, exits, backtest dates, and 15+ alert switches—all intuitively grouped.
- **Optimization**: Tune min strengths for aggressive (lower) or conservative (higher) trading; enable/disable filters to suit your style (e.g., disable S/R for scalping).
- **Best For**: Forex, stocks, crypto on 1H–Daily charts. Test on historical data to refine TP/SL.
- **Limitations**: No external data installs; relies on built-in TA functions. Patterns are probabilistic—combine with your risk management.
Master the candles like a grandmaster. Deploy on TradingView, backtest relentlessly, and let dominance begin! Questions? Drop a comment.

10-Crypto Normalized IndexOverview
This indicator builds a custom index for up to 10 cryptocurrencies and plots their combined trend as a single line. Each coin is normalized to 100 at a user-selected base date (or at its first available bar), then averaged (equally or by your custom weights). The result lets you see the market direction of your basket at a glance.
How it works
For each symbol, the script finds a base price (first bar ≥ the chosen base date; or the first bar in history if base-date normalization is off).
It converts the current price to a normalized value: price / base × 100.
It then computes a weighted average of those normalized values to form the index.
A dotted baseline at 100 marks the starting point; values above/below 100 represent % performance vs. the base.
Key inputs
Symbols (10 max): Default set: BTC, ETH, SOL, POL, OKB, BNB, SUI, LINK, 1INCH, TRX (USDT pairs). You can change exchange/quote (keep all the same quote, e.g., all USDT).
Weights: Toggle equal weights or enter custom weights. Custom weights are auto-normalized internally, so they don’t need to sum to 1.
Base date: Year/Month/Day (default: 2025-06-01). Turning normalization off uses each symbol’s first available bar as its base.
Smoothing: Optional SMA to reduce noise.
Show baseline: Toggle the horizontal line at 100.
Interpretation
Index > 100 and rising → your basket is up since the base date.
Index < 100 and falling → down since the base date.
Use shorter timeframes for intraday sentiment, higher timeframes for swing/trend context.
Default basket & weights (editable)
Order: BTC, ETH, SOL, POL, OKB, BNB, SUI, LINK, 1INCH, TRX.
Default custom weight factors: 30, 30, 20, 10, 10, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 (auto-normalized).
Base date: 2025-06-01.

Weekly pecentage tracker by PRIVATE
Settings Picture below this link: 👇
i.ibb.co
What it is
A lightweight “Weekly % Tracker” overlay that lets you manually enter weekly performance (in percent) for XAUUSD + up to 10 FX pairs, then shows:
a small table panel with each enabled symbol and its % result
one TOTAL row (Sum / Average / Compounded across all enabled symbols)
an optional mini badge showing the % for a single selected symbol
Nothing is auto-calculated from price—you type the % yourself.
Key settings
Panel: show/hide, position, number of decimals, colors (background, text, green/red).
Total mode:
Sum – adds percentages
Average – mean of enabled rows
Compounded –
(
∏
(
1
+
𝑝

100
)
−

)
×
100
(∏(1+p/100)−1)×100
Symbols:
XAUUSD (toggle + label + % input)
10 FX pairs (each has On/Off, label text, % input). You can rename labels to any symbol text you want.
Mini badge: show/hide, position, and symbol to display.
How it works
Overlay indicator: overlay=true; just draws UI on the chart (no plots).
Arrays (syms, vals, ons) collect the row data in order: XAU first, then FX1…FX10.
Helpers:
posFrom() converts a position string (e.g., “Top Right”) into a position.* constant.
wp_col() picks green/red/neutral based on the sign of the %.
wp_round() rounds values to the selected decimals.
calc_total() computes the TOTAL with the chosen mode over enabled rows only.
Table creation logic:
Counts how many rows are enabled.
If none enabled or panel is off: the panel table is deleted, so no box/background is visible.
If enabled and on: the panel is (re)created at the chosen position.
On each last bar (barstate.islast), it clears the table to transparent (bgcolor=na) and then fills one row per enabled symbol, followed by a single TOTAL row.
Mini badge:
Always (re)created on position change.
Shows selected symbol’s % (or “-” if that symbol isn’t enabled or has no value).
Colors text green/red by sign.
Notes & limits
It’s manual input—the script doesn’t read trades or P/L from price.
You can rename each row’s label to match any symbol name you want.
When no rows are enabled, the panel disappears entirely (no empty background).
Designed to be light: only draws tables; no heavy plotting.
If you want the TOTAL row to be optional, or different color thresholds, or CSV-style export/import of the values, say the word and I’ll add it.
On-Balance Volume with Multiple MA TypesOn-Balance Volume with Multiple MA Types
English Description
Overview
This is the first version of the "On-Balance Volume with Multiple MA Types" indicator designed to overlay directly on the price chart, a significant evolution from its previous iterations, which functioned solely as an oscillator in a separate window. The indicator calculates On-Balance Volume (OBV) and applies various smoothing methods to provide a clear view of volume dynamics in relation to price movements. It is pinned to the price scale for seamless integration with the chart.
Interpretation Recommendations
Price Pushing the OBV Line from Below: When the price chart pushes the OBV line upward and remains below it, this indicates rising volume, suggesting strong buying pressure.
Price Above the OBV Line: When the price chart is above the OBV line, it signals falling volume, indicating weakening momentum or selling pressure.
OBV Line Crossings: When the price crosses the OBV line, it represents a balance point in volume dynamics. The price level at the current crossing can be compared to the previous crossing to assess changes in market sentiment or momentum.
Moving Average Types
The indicator offers eight smoothing options for the OBV line, each with unique characteristics:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): A weighted average that prioritizes recent data, providing a smooth yet responsive line.
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average): Uses two EMAs to reduce lag, offering faster response to volume changes.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): Combines weighted moving averages to minimize lag while maintaining smoothness.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Assigns more weight to recent data, balancing responsiveness and noise reduction.
TMA (Triangular Moving Average): A double-smoothed simple moving average, emphasizing central data points for smoother output.
VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average): Adapts smoothing based on market volatility, using a CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator) for dynamic weighting. Controlled by the VIDYA Alpha parameter (default: 0.2, range: 0–1), which adjusts sensitivity to volatility.
FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average): Adjusts smoothing based on fractal dimensions of the OBV data, adapting to market conditions.
JMA (Jurik Moving Average): A proprietary adaptive average designed for minimal lag and high smoothness. Controlled by two parameters:
JMA Phase (default: 50, range: -100 to 100): Adjusts the balance between responsiveness and smoothness.
JMA Power (default: 1, range: 0.1+): Controls the strength of smoothing.
Input Parameters
OBV MA Length (default: 10): The lookback period for smoothing the OBV. Higher values produce smoother results but increase lag.
OBV MA Type (default: JMA): Selects the moving average type from the eight options listed above.
Line Width (default: 2): Thickness of the OBV line on the chart.
Bullish Color (default: Blue): Color of the OBV line when rising (indicating increasing volume).
Bearish Color (default: Red): Color of the OBV line when falling (indicating decreasing volume).
JMA Phase (default: 50): Adjusts the JMA’s responsiveness (used only when JMA is selected).
JMA Power (default: 1): Adjusts the JMA’s smoothing strength (used only when JMA is selected).
VIDYA Alpha (default: 0.2): Controls the sensitivity of VIDYA to market volatility (used only when VIDYA is selected).
How to Use
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. It will overlay directly on the price chart, aligned with the price scale.
Adjust the OBV MA Type to select your preferred smoothing method based on your trading style (e.g., JMA for low lag, TMA for smoothness).
Modify the OBV MA Length to balance responsiveness and noise reduction. Shorter periods (e.g., 5–10) are better for short-term trading, while longer periods (e.g., 20–50) suit longer-term analysis.
Use the Bullish Color and Bearish Color to visually distinguish rising and falling volume trends.
For JMA or VIDYA, fine-tune the JMA Phase, JMA Power, or VIDYA Alpha to optimize the indicator for specific market conditions.
Interpret the OBV line in relation to price:
Watch for price pushing the OBV line upward (rising volume) or moving above it (falling volume).
Note crossings of the OBV line to identify balance points and compare with prior crossings to gauge momentum shifts.
Combine with other technical tools (e.g., support/resistance levels, trendlines) for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Notes
This indicator is designed to work on any timeframe and market, but its effectiveness depends on the chosen moving average type and parameters.
Experiment with different MA types and lengths to find the best fit for your trading approach.

The Barking Rat LiteMomentum & FVG Reversion Strategy
The Barking Rat Lite is a disciplined, short-term mean-reversion strategy that combines RSI momentum filtering, EMA bands, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection to identify short-term reversal points. Designed for practical use on volatile markets, it focuses on precise entries and ATR-based take profit management to balance opportunity and risk.
Core Concept
This strategy seeks potential reversals when short-term price action shows exhaustion outside an EMA band, confirmed by momentum and FVG signals:
EMA Bands:
Parameters used: A 20-period EMA (fast) and 100-period EMA (slow).
Why chosen:
- The 20 EMA is sensitive to short-term moves and reflects immediate momentum.
- The 100 EMA provides a slower, structural anchor.
When price trades outside both bands, it often signals overextension relative to both short-term and medium-term trends.
Application in strategy:
- Long entries are only considered when price dips below both EMAs, identifying potential undervaluation.
- Short entries are only considered when price rises above both EMAs, identifying potential overvaluation.
This dual-band filter avoids counter-trend signals that would occur if only a single EMA was used, making entries more selective..
Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG):
Parameters used: The script checks for dislocations using a 12-bar lookback (i.e. comparing current highs/lows with values 12 candles back).
Why chosen:
- A 12-bar displacement highlights significant inefficiencies in price structure while filtering out micro-gaps that appear every few bars in high-volatility markets.
- By aligning FVG signals with candle direction (bullish = close > open, bearish = close < open), the strategy avoids random gaps and instead targets ones that suggest exhaustion.
Application in strategy:
- Bullish FVGs form when earlier lows sit above current highs, hinting at downward over-extension.
- Bearish FVGs form when earlier highs sit below current lows, hinting at upward over-extension.
This gives the strategy a structural filter beyond simple oscillators, ensuring signals have price-dislocation context.
RSI Momentum Filter:
Parameters used: 14-period RSI with thresholds of 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Why chosen:
- RSI(14) is a widely recognized momentum measure that balances responsiveness with stability.
- The thresholds are intentionally extreme (80/20 vs. the more common 70/30), so the strategy only engages at genuine exhaustion points rather than frequent minor corrections.
Application in strategy:
- Longs trigger when RSI < 20, suggesting oversold exhaustion.
- Shorts trigger when RSI > 80, suggesting overbought exhaustion.
This ensures entries are not just technically valid but also backed by momentum extremes, raising conviction.
ATR-Based Take Profit:
Parameters used: 14-period ATR, with a default multiplier of 4.
Why chosen:
- ATR(14) reflects the prevailing volatility environment without reacting too much to outliers.
- A multiplier of 4 is a pragmatic compromise: wide enough to let trades breathe in volatile conditions, but tight enough to enforce disciplined exits before mean reversion fades.
Application in strategy:
- At entry, a fixed target is set = Entry Price ± (ATR × 4).
- This target scales automatically with volatility: narrower in calm periods, wider in explosive markets.
By avoiding discretionary exits, the system maintains rule-based discipline.

Note on Sample Size:
You’ll notice the report displays fewer than the ideal 100 trades in the strategy report above. This is intentional. The goal of the script is to isolate high-quality, short-term reversal opportunities while filtering out low-conviction setups. This means that the Barking Rat Lite strategy is very selective, filtering out over 90% of market noise. The brief timeframe shown in the strategy report here illustrates its filtering logic over a short window — not its full capabilities. As a result, even on lower timeframes like the 1-minute chart, signals are deliberately sparse — each one must pass all criteria before triggering.
For a larger dataset:
Once the strategy is applied to your chart, users are encouraged to expand the lookback range or apply the strategy to other volatile pairs to view a full sample.
💡Why 25% Equity Per Trade?
While it's always best to size positions based on personal risk tolerance, we defaulted to 25% equity per trade in the backtesting data — and here’s why:
Backtests using this sizing show manageable drawdowns even under volatile periods.
The strategy generates a sizeable number of trades, reducing reliance on a single outcome.
Combined with conservative filters, the 25% setting offers a balance between aggression and control.
Users are strongly encouraged to customize this to suit their risk profile.
What makes Barking Rat Lite valuable
Combines multiple layers of confirmation: EMA bands + FVG + RSI
Adaptive to volatility: ATR-based exits scale with market conditions
Clear, actionable visuals: Easy to monitor and manage trades
Lot Size + Margin InfoThis indicator is designed to give Futures & Options traders instant access to lot size and estimated margin requirements for the instrument they are viewing — directly on their TradingView chart. It combines real-time symbol detection with a built-in, regularly updated margin lookup table (sourced from Kotak Securities’ published margin requirements), while also handling fallback logic for unknown or unsupported symbols.
---
### What It Does
* Automatically Detects the Instrument Type
Identifies whether the current chart’s symbol is a futures contract, option, or a cash/spot instrument.
* Shows Accurate Lot Size
For supported F\&O symbols, it fetches the correct lot size directly from exchange data.
For options, it retrieves the lot size from the option’s point value.
For cash/spot symbols with linked futures, it uses the futures lot size.
* Calculates Estimated Margin
* For futures: `Lot Size × Current Price × Margin%` (Margin% sourced from the internal lookup table).
* For options: `Lot Size × Current Price` (simple multiplication, as options margin ≈ premium cost).
* For unsupported or non-FnO symbols: Displays "No FnO".
* Fallback Margin Logic
If a symbol is missing from the margin lookup table, the script applies a user-defined default margin percentage and highlights the data in orange to indicate it’s using fallback values.
* Debug Mode for Transparency
A toggle to display the exact symbol string used for fetching lot size and margin, so traders can verify the data source.
---
### How It Works
1. Symbol Normalization
The script standardizes symbol names to match the margin table format (e.g., converting `"NIFTY1!"` to `"NIFTY"`).
2. Type-Based Handling
* Futures – Uses point value for lot size, applies specific margin % from the table.
* Options – Uses option point value for lot size, margin is simply premium × lot size.
* Cash Symbols with Linked Futures – Attempts to find and use the associated futures contract for lot/margin data.
* Unsupported Symbols – Displays `"No FnO"`.
3. Margin Table Integration
The margin % table is manually updated from a reliable broker’s margin sheet (Kotak Securities) — ensuring alignment with real trading conditions.
4. Customizable Display
* Position (Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right)
* Table background color, text color, font size, border width
* Editable label text for lot size and margin display
* Toggleable lot size and margin sections
---
### How to Use
1. Add the Indicator to Your Chart – Works on any NSE Futures, Options, or Cash symbol with linked F\&O.
2. Configure Display Settings – Choose whether to show lot size, margin, or both, and place the info table where you prefer.
3. Adjust Fallback Margin % – If you trade less common contracts, set your default margin % to reflect your broker’s requirement.
4. Enable Debug Mode (Optional) – To see the exact symbol source the script is using.
---
### Best For
* Intraday & Positional F\&O Traders who need instant clarity on lot size and margin before entering trades.
* Options Sellers & Buyers who want quick cost estimates.
* Traders Switching Symbols Quickly — saves time by removing the need to check the broker’s margin sheet manually.
---
💡 Pro Tip: Since margin requirements can change, keep the script updated whenever your broker revises margin data. This version’s margin table is updated as of 13-08-2025.

Ticker Pulse Meter BasicPairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA located here:
and the Enhanced Stock Ticker with 50MA vs 200MA located here:
Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.

Advanced Fed Decision Forecast Model (AFDFM)The Advanced Fed Decision Forecast Model (AFDFM) represents a novel quantitative framework for predicting Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions through multi-factor fundamental analysis. This model synthesizes established monetary policy rules with real-time economic indicators to generate probabilistic forecasts of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decisions. Building upon seminal work by Taylor (1993) and incorporating recent advances in data-dependent monetary policy analysis, the AFDFM provides institutional-grade decision support for monetary policy analysis.
## 1. Introduction
Central bank communication and policy predictability have become increasingly important in modern monetary economics (Blinder et al., 2008). The Federal Reserve's dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment, coupled with evolving economic conditions, creates complex decision-making environments that traditional models struggle to capture comprehensively (Yellen, 2017).
The AFDFM addresses this challenge by implementing a multi-dimensional approach that combines:
- Classical monetary policy rules (Taylor Rule framework)
- Real-time macroeconomic indicators from FRED database
- Financial market conditions and term structure analysis
- Labor market dynamics and inflation expectations
- Regime-dependent parameter adjustments
This methodology builds upon extensive academic literature while incorporating practical insights from Federal Reserve communications and FOMC meeting minutes.
## 2. Literature Review and Theoretical Foundation
### 2.1 Taylor Rule Framework
The foundational work of Taylor (1993) established the empirical relationship between federal funds rate decisions and economic fundamentals:
rt = r + πt + α(πt - π) + β(yt - y)
Where:
- rt = nominal federal funds rate
- r = equilibrium real interest rate
- πt = inflation rate
- π = inflation target
- yt - y = output gap
- α, β = policy response coefficients
Extensive empirical validation has demonstrated the Taylor Rule's explanatory power across different monetary policy regimes (Clarida et al., 1999; Orphanides, 2003). Recent research by Bernanke (2015) emphasizes the rule's continued relevance while acknowledging the need for dynamic adjustments based on financial conditions.
### 2.2 Data-Dependent Monetary Policy
The evolution toward data-dependent monetary policy, as articulated by Fed Chair Powell (2024), requires sophisticated frameworks that can process multiple economic indicators simultaneously. Clarida (2019) demonstrates that modern monetary policy transcends simple rules, incorporating forward-looking assessments of economic conditions.
### 2.3 Financial Conditions and Monetary Transmission
The Chicago Fed's National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) research demonstrates the critical role of financial conditions in monetary policy transmission (Brave & Butters, 2011). Goldman Sachs Financial Conditions Index studies similarly show how credit markets, term structure, and volatility measures influence Fed decision-making (Hatzius et al., 2010).
### 2.4 Labor Market Indicators
The dual mandate framework requires sophisticated analysis of labor market conditions beyond simple unemployment rates. Daly et al. (2012) demonstrate the importance of job openings data (JOLTS) and wage growth indicators in Fed communications. Recent research by Aaronson et al. (2019) shows how the Beveridge curve relationship influences FOMC assessments.
## 3. Methodology
### 3.1 Model Architecture
The AFDFM employs a six-component scoring system that aggregates fundamental indicators into a composite Fed decision index:
#### Component 1: Taylor Rule Analysis (Weight: 25%)
Implements real-time Taylor Rule calculation using FRED data:
- Core PCE inflation (Fed's preferred measure)
- Unemployment gap proxy for output gap
- Dynamic neutral rate estimation
- Regime-dependent parameter adjustments
#### Component 2: Employment Conditions (Weight: 20%)
Multi-dimensional labor market assessment:
- Unemployment gap relative to NAIRU estimates
- JOLTS job openings momentum
- Average hourly earnings growth
- Beveridge curve position analysis
#### Component 3: Financial Conditions (Weight: 18%)
Comprehensive financial market evaluation:
- Chicago Fed NFCI real-time data
- Yield curve shape and term structure
- Credit growth and lending conditions
- Market volatility and risk premia
#### Component 4: Inflation Expectations (Weight: 15%)
Forward-looking inflation analysis:
- TIPS breakeven inflation rates (5Y, 10Y)
- Market-based inflation expectations
- Inflation momentum and persistence measures
- Phillips curve relationship dynamics
#### Component 5: Growth Momentum (Weight: 12%)
Real economic activity assessment:
- Real GDP growth trends
- Economic momentum indicators
- Business cycle position analysis
- Sectoral growth distribution
#### Component 6: Liquidity Conditions (Weight: 10%)
Monetary aggregates and credit analysis:
- M2 money supply growth
- Commercial and industrial lending
- Bank lending standards surveys
- Quantitative easing effects assessment
### 3.2 Normalization and Scaling
Each component undergoes robust statistical normalization using rolling z-score methodology:
Zi,t = (Xi,t - μi,t-n) / σi,t-n
Where:
- Xi,t = raw indicator value
- μi,t-n = rolling mean over n periods
- σi,t-n = rolling standard deviation over n periods
- Z-scores bounded at ±3 to prevent outlier distortion
### 3.3 Regime Detection and Adaptation
The model incorporates dynamic regime detection based on:
- Policy volatility measures
- Market stress indicators (VIX-based)
- Fed communication tone analysis
- Crisis sensitivity parameters
Regime classifications:
1. Crisis: Emergency policy measures likely
2. Tightening: Restrictive monetary policy cycle
3. Easing: Accommodative monetary policy cycle
4. Neutral: Stable policy maintenance
### 3.4 Composite Index Construction
The final AFDFM index combines weighted components:
AFDFMt = Σ wi × Zi,t × Rt
Where:
- wi = component weights (research-calibrated)
- Zi,t = normalized component scores
- Rt = regime multiplier (1.0-1.5)
Index scaled to range for intuitive interpretation.
### 3.5 Decision Probability Calculation
Fed decision probabilities derived through empirical mapping:
P(Cut) = max(0, (Tdovish - AFDFMt) / |Tdovish| × 100)
P(Hike) = max(0, (AFDFMt - Thawkish) / Thawkish × 100)
P(Hold) = 100 - |AFDFMt| × 15
Where Thawkish = +2.0 and Tdovish = -2.0 (empirically calibrated thresholds).

TASC 2025.07 Laguerre Filters█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Laguerre filter and oscillator described by John F. Ehlers in the article "A Tool For Trend Trading, Laguerre Filters" from the July 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The new Laguerre filter utilizes the UltimateSmoother filter in place of an exponential moving average (EMA) in its calculation, offering improved responsiveness and reduced lag.
█ CONCEPTS
As Ehlers explains in his article, the Laguerre filter is a form of transversal filter . A transversal filter calculates an output signal using a tapped delay line . It creates multiple delayed versions of an input signal, applies weight to each delay, and then calculates their sum to generate the filtered result.
The Laguerre filter's structure relies on Laguerre polynomials — solutions to a differential equation solved by Edmond Laguerre in the 1800s. When Ehlers analyzed the formula for these polynomials on discrete systems (e.g., financial time series), he found that the first term's expression corresponds to an EMA response, and all subsequent terms correspond to an all-pass response. In contrast to other filter types, an all-pass filter produces phase shift (i.e., delay) in an input signal's components without affecting its amplitude.
Ehlers observed that these characteristics of Laguerre polynomials make them suitable for use in a transversal filter structure, and thus the Laguerre filter was born. However, he notes that EMAs are not great filters in general. As such, to improve on the Laguerre filter's design, Ehlers modified it by replacing the EMA term with his UltimateSmoother filter. The resulting Laguerre filter has significantly reduced lag, achieving a tighter response to market fluctuations while maintaining smoothness. Ehlers suggests that traders can analyze crossings between the UltimateSmoother and this Laguerre filter, or those between two Laguerre filters of different order, for helpful buy and sell signals.
In addition to the Laguerre filter, Ehlers derived a smooth, low-lag oscillator based on the difference between the first and second terms in the modified filter structure, scaled by the root mean square (RMS). The resulting oscillator provides an alternative filtered representation of market data, which can help traders identify swing and mean-reversion signals.
█ USAGE
This indicator calculates both the Laguerre filter and the Laguerre oscillator described in Ehlers' article. It displays the Laguerre filter on the main chart pane and the oscillator in a separate pane.
Users can control the behavior of the filter and oscillator with the inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab:
The "Period" input defines the critical period of the UltimateSmoother used in the Laguerre filter and oscillator calculations. Its default value is 30.
The "Gamma" input determines the weighting behavior of the Laguerre filter and oscillator. It accepts a positive value between 0 and 1. Use a lower value for quicker responsiveness to market changes, and a higher value for trends. The default value is 0.5.
The "RMS length" input determines the length of the RMS calculation for oscillator normalization. The default value is 100 bars.
BackToBasic XEMAบทความอธิบายสคริปต์ “BackToBasic XEMA”
ภาษาไทย
แนวคิดโดยย่อ
BackToBasic XEMA เกิดจากแนวคิด “กลับสู่พื้นฐานแต่เพิ่มประโยชน์” โดยใช้สัญญาณ EMA Crossover เป็นแกนหลัก แล้วต่อยอดด้วยการแสดงกำไร/ขาดทุนจริง (PnL) และเส้น Trailing Stop แนวนอน เพื่อช่วยวัดประสิทธิภาพและป้องกันการคืนกำไร
กลไกการทำงาน
Dual EMA – คำนวณ EMA สองเส้น (Fast และ Slow)
Crossover Signal – ออกสัญญาณ Buy เมื่อ Fast ตัดขึ้น Slow และ Sell เมื่อ Fast ตัดลง Slow
PnL Lines & Labels – เมื่อทิศทางกลับตัว ระบบจะคำนวณส่วนต่างราคา × จำนวน Contracts แล้ววาดเส้นเชื่อมจุดเข้า–ออก พร้อมป้ายกำไร/ขาดทุนสีเขียว / แดง
Horizontal Trailing Stop – เมื่อราคาวิ่งไปทางกำไรเกิน trailStartPips ระบบจะสร้างเส้น Trail ห่างจาก EMA อ้างอิงด้วย trailBufferPips และเลื่อนเฉพาะในทางที่ล็อกกำไร
การตั้งค่าใช้งาน (สรุปเป็นคำอธิบาย)
ปรับค่า Fast/Slow EMA ให้สัมพันธ์กับกรอบเวลาและความผันผวนของสินทรัพย์
กรอกจำนวน Contracts ตามขนาดโพซิชันจริงเพื่อให้ค่า PnL สมจริง
ค่า Trail เริ่มต้นเหมาะกับกราฟ 1 ชั่วโมงขึ้นไป หากเทรดสั้นอาจลด trailStartPips และ trailBufferPips
แนะนำใช้กับสินทรัพย์สภาพคล่องสูง (คู่เงินหลัก, XAUUSD, ดัชนี) และทดสอบบนบัญชีเดโมก่อนเสมอ
จุดเด่นเมื่อเทียบกับ EMA Crossover พื้นฐาน
เห็นผลกำไร/ขาดทุนของแต่ละการเทรดทันที ไม่ต้องคำนวณย้อนหลัง
มีเส้น Trailing Stop แนวนอนช่วยล็อกกำไรและจำกัดขาดทุน
เปิด–ปิดฟังก์ชัน PnL และ Trailing ได้จากหน้าตั้งค่า ไม่ยุ่งยาก
ข้อจำกัดและคำเตือน
ไม่เหมาะกับกราฟแบบ Heikin Ashi หรือ Renko เพราะอาจเกิด repaint
PnL คำนวณจากส่วนต่างราคาเท่านั้น ไม่รวมค่าคอมมิชชันหรือสลิปเพจ

Concept
BackToBasic XEMA extends a classic EMA-crossover setup with real-time profit-and-loss tracking and a horizontal trailing-stop line, giving traders both clear entry/exit signals and built-in risk management.
How It Works
Dual EMAs – Calculates Fast and Slow EMAs.
Crossover Signals – Generates a Buy when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, and a Sell when it crosses below.
PnL Lines & Labels – On every direction flip the script computes price difference × contracts, draws a line from entry to exit, and labels the result in green (profit) or red (loss).
Horizontal Trailing Stop – After price moves in profit by at least trailStartPips, a trail line is placed trailBufferPips away from the chosen EMA and moves only in the trade’s favour.
Practical Settings (plain-language guide)
Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths to suit your timeframe and the instrument’s volatility.
Enter your position size in Contracts so PnL lines reflect real cash values.
For shorter timeframes, lower trailStartPips and trailBufferPips; for swing trading, larger values work better.
Best used on 1-hour-and-above charts of liquid symbols (major FX pairs, gold, indices). Forward-test on demo first.
Advantages over a Basic EMA Cross
Instant visual feedback on each trade’s profit or loss.
Built-in horizontal trailing stop to lock in gains and limit downside.
Modular design – PnL and trailing features can be toggled on or off in the input panel.
Limitations & Disclaimer
Not repaint-safe on non-standard chart types such as Heikin Ashi or Renko.
PnL lines show raw price change only; commissions and slippage are not included.
Past performance does not guarantee future results – trade responsibly and test thoroughly.

Essa - Multi-Timeframe LevelsEnhanced Multi‐Timeframe Levels
This indicator plots yearly, quarterly and monthly highs, lows and midpoints on your chart. Each level is drawn as a horizontal line with an optional label showing “ – ” (for example “Apr 2025 High – 1.2345”). If two or more timeframes share the same price (within two ticks), they are merged into a single line and the label lists each timeframe.
A distance table can be shown in any corner of the chart. It lists up to five active levels closest to the current closing price and shows for each level:
level name (e.g. “May 2025 Low”)
exact price
distance in pips or points (calculated according to the instrument’s tick size)
percentage difference relative to the close
Alerts can be enabled so that whenever price comes within a user-specified percentage of any level (for example 0.1 %), an alert fires. Once price decisively crosses a level, that level is marked as “broken” so it does not trigger again. Built-in alertcondition hooks are also provided for definite breaks of the current monthly, quarterly and yearly highs and lows.
Monthly lookback is configurable (default 6 months), and once the number of levels exceeds a cap (calculated as 20 + monthlyLookback × 3), the oldest levels are automatically removed to avoid clutter. Line widths and colours (with adjustable opacity for quarterly and monthly) can be set separately for each timeframe. Touches of each level are counted internally to allow future extension (for example visually emphasising levels with multiple touches).
Enhanced Stock Ticker with 50MA vs 200MADescription
The Enhanced Stock Ticker with 50MA vs 200MA is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to visualize the relative position of a stock's price within its short-term and long-term price ranges, providing actionable bullish and bearish signals. By calculating normalized indices based on user-defined lookback periods (defaulting to 50 and 200 bars), this indicator helps traders identify potential reversals or trend continuations. It offers the flexibility to plot signals either on the main price chart or in a separate lower pane, leveraging Pine Script v6's force_overlay functionality for seamless integration. The indicator also includes a customizable ticker table, visual fills, and alert conditions for automated trading setups.
Key Features
Dual Lookback Indices: Computes short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) indices, normalizing the closing price relative to the high/low range over the specified periods.
Flexible Signal Plotting: Users can toggle between plotting crossover signals (triangles) on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the lower pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Crossover Signals: Generates bullish (Golden Cross) and bearish (Death Cross) signals when the short or long index crosses above 5 or below 95, respectively.
Visual Enhancements:
Plots short-term (blue) and long-term (white) indices in a separate pane with customizable lookback periods.
Includes horizontal reference lines at 0, 20, 50, 80, and 100, with green and red fills to highlight overbought/oversold zones.
Dynamic fill between indices (green when short > long, red when long > short) for quick trend visualization.
Displays a ticker and legend table in the top-right corner, showing the symbol and lookback periods.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish and bearish crossovers on both short and long indices, enabling integration with TradingView's alert system.
Technical Innovation: Utilizes Pine Script v6's force_overlay parameter to plot signals on the main chart from a non-overlay indicator, combining the benefits of a separate pane and chart-based signals in a single script.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate indices, ensuring reliability by avoiding real-time bar fluctuations.
Short-term index: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)) * 100
Long-term index: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)) * 100
Signals are triggered using ta.crossover() and ta.crossunder() for indices crossing 5 (bullish) and 95 (bearish).
Signal Plotting:
Main chart signals use force_overlay=true with location.abovebar/belowbar for precise alignment with price bars.
Lower pane signals use location.top/bottom for visibility within the indicator pane.
Plotting is controlled by boolean conditions (e.g., bullishLong and plot_on_chart) to ensure compliance with Pine Script's global scope requirements.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating indices only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.
How to Use
Add to Chart:

Aftershock by Session [SAKANE]■ Background & Motivation
In 24/7 markets like crypto, not all participants react simultaneously to major events.
Instead, reactions unfold across different regional trading sessions — Asia (APAC), Europe (EU), and the United States (US) — each with its own tempo and sentiment.
This indicator is designed to visualize which session drives the market after a key event — capturing the "aftershock" effect that ripples through time zones.
■ Key Features
Tracks price return (open → close) for each session: APAC / EU / US
Cumulative session returns are calculated and visualized
Smoothing options: SMA, EMA, or Ehlers SuperSmoother
Optimized for daily charts to highlight structural momentum shifts
Toggle visibility of each session independently
■ Why “Aftershock”?
Take April 2, 2025 — the day of the “Trump Tariff Opening.”
That policy announcement triggered a market-wide response. But:
Which session reacted first?
Which session truly moved the market?
This indicator is named “Aftershock” because it helps you see the ripple effect of such events — when and where momentum followed.
■ How to Use
Search for “Aftershock by Session ” on TradingView
Add it to your chart (use Daily timeframe)
Customize sessions and smoothing options via settings
You can also bookmark it for quick access.
■ Insights & Use Cases
Detect which session initiated or led market moves after news events
Understand geo-temporal dynamics — did the move start in Asia, Europe, or the US?
For example, on April 2, 2025, the day Trump’s tariff pivot was announced:
You can instantly see which session took the lead —
the APAC session hesitated, while the US session drove the trend.
This insight becomes visually obvious with the cumulative lines.
■ Unique Value
Unlike typical indicators based on raw price action,
Aftershock analyzes market movement through a session-based structural lens.
It captures where capital actually moved — and when.
A tool not just for technical analysis, but for event-driven, macro-aware market reading.
■ Final Thoughts
To truly understand market mechanics, we must look beyond candles and trends.
Aftershock by Session breaks down the 24-hour cycle into meaningful regional flows,
allowing you to track the true drivers behind price momentum.
Whether you're trading, researching, or tracking macro catalysts,
this tool helps answer the key question:
“Who moved the market — and when?”
TASC 2025.06 Cybernetic Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Cybernetic Oscillator introduced by John F. Ehlers in his article "The Cybernetic Oscillator For More Flexibility, Making A Better Oscillator" from the June 2025 edition of the TASC Traders' Tips . It cascades two-pole highpass and lowpass filters, then scales the result by its root mean square (RMS) to create a flexible normalized oscillator that responds to a customizable frequency range for different trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
Oscillators are indicators widely used by technical traders. These indicators swing above and below a center value, emphasizing cyclic movements within a frequency range. In his article, Ehlers explains that all oscillators share a common characteristic: their calculations involve computing differences . The reliance on differences is what causes these indicators to oscillate about a central point.
The difference between two data points in a series acts as a highpass filter — it allows high frequencies (short wavelengths) to pass through while significantly attenuating low frequencies (long wavelengths). Ehlers demonstrates that a simple difference calculation attenuates lower-frequency cycles at a rate of 6 dB per octave. However, the difference also significantly amplifies cycles near the shortest observable wavelength, making the result appear noisier than the original series. To mitigate the effects of noise in a differenced series, oscillators typically smooth the series with a lowpass filter, such as a moving average.
Ehlers highlights an underlying issue with smoothing differenced data to create oscillators. He postulates that market data statistically follows a pink spectrum , where the amplitudes of cyclic components in the data are approximately directly proportional to the underlying periods. Specifically, he suggests that cyclic amplitude increases by 6 dB per octave of wavelength.
Because some conventional oscillators, such as RSI, use differencing calculations that attenuate cycles by only 6 dB per octave, and market cycles increase in amplitude by 6 dB per octave, such calculations do not have a tangible net effect on larger wavelengths in the analyzed data. The influence of larger wavelengths can be especially problematic when using these oscillators for mean reversion or swing signals. For instance, an expected reversion to the mean might be erroneous because oscillator's mean might significantly deviate from its center over time.
To address the issues with conventional oscillator responses, Ehlers created a new indicator dubbed the Cybernetic Oscillator. It uses a simple combination of highpass and lowpass filters to emphasize a specific range of frequencies in the market data, then normalizes the result based on RMS. The process is as follows:
Apply a two-pole highpass filter to the data. This filter's critical period defines the longest wavelength in the oscillator's passband.
Apply a two-pole SuperSmoother (lowpass filter) to the highpass-filtered data. This filter's critical period defines the shortest wavelength in the passband.
Scale the resulting waveform by its RMS. If the filtered waveform follows a normal distribution, the scaled result represents amplitude in standard deviations.
The oscillator's two-pole filters attenuate cycles outside the desired frequency range by 12 dB per octave. This rate outweighs the apparent rate of amplitude increase for successively longer market cycles (6 dB per octave). Therefore, the Cybernetic Oscillator provides a more robust isolation of cyclic content than conventional oscillators. Best of all, traders can set the periods of the highpass and lowpass filters separately, enabling fine-tuning of the frequency range for different trading styles.
█ USAGE
The "Highpass period" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab specifies the longest wavelength in the oscillator's passband, and the "Lowpass period" input defines the shortest wavelength. The oscillator becomes more responsive to rapid movements with a smaller lowpass period. Conversely, it becomes more sensitive to trends with a larger highpass period. Ehlers recommends setting the smallest period to a value above 8 to avoid aliasing. The highpass period must not be smaller than the lowpass period. Otherwise, it causes a runtime error.
The "RMS length" input determines the number of bars in the RMS calculation that the indicator uses to normalize the filtered result.
This indicator also features two distinct display styles, which users can toggle with the "Display style" input. With the "Trend" style enabled, the indicator plots the oscillator with one of two colors based on whether its value is above or below zero. With the "Threshold" style enabled, it plots the oscillator as a gray line and highlights overbought and oversold areas based on the user-specified threshold.
Below, we show two instances of the script with different settings on an equities chart. The first uses the "Threshold" style with default settings to pass cycles between 20 and 30 bars for mean reversion signals. The second uses a larger highpass period of 250 bars and the "Trend" style to visualize trends based on cycles spanning less than one year:
EXODUS EXODUS by (DAFE) Trading Systems
EXODUS is a sophisticated trading algorithm built by Dskyz (DAFE) Trading Systems for competitive and competition purposes, designed to identify high-probability trades with robust risk management. this strategy leverages a multi-signal voting system, combining three core components—SPR, VWMO, and VEI—alongside ADX, choppiness filters, and ATR-based volatility gates to ensure trades are taken only in favorable market conditions. the algo uses a take-profit to stop-loss ratio, dynamic position sizing, and a strict voting mechanism requiring all signals to align before entering a trade.
EXODUS was not overfitted for any specific symbol. instead, it uses a generic tuned setting, making it versatile across various markets. while it can trade futures, it’s not currently set up for it but has the potential to do more with further development. visuals are intentionally minimal due to its competition focus, prioritizing performance over aesthetics. a more visually stunning version may be released in the future with enhanced graphics.
The Unique Core Components Developed for EXODUS
SPR (Session Price Recalibration)
SPR measures momentum during regular trading hours (RTH, 0930-1600, America/New_York) to catch session-specific trends.
spr_lookback = input.int(15, "SPR Lookback") this sets how many bars back SPR looks to calculate momentum (default 15 bars). it compares the current session’s price-volume score to the score 15 bars ago to gauge momentum strength.
how it works: a longer lookback smooths out the signal, focusing on bigger trends. a shorter one makes SPR more sensitive to recent moves.
how to adjust: on a 1-hour chart, 15 bars is 15 hours (about 2 trading days). if you’re on a shorter timeframe like 5 minutes, 15 bars is just 75 minutes, so you might want to increase it to 50 or 100 to capture more meaningful trends. if you’re trading a choppy stock, a shorter lookback (like 5) can help catch quick moves, but it might give more false signals.
spr_threshold = input.float (0.7, "SPR Threshold")
this is the cutoff for SPR to vote for a trade (default 0.7). if SPR’s normalized value is above 0.7, it votes for a long; below -0.7, it votes for a short.
how it works: SPR normalizes its momentum score by ATR, so this threshold ensures only strong moves count. a higher threshold means fewer trades but higher conviction.
how to adjust: if you’re getting too few trades, lower it to 0.5 to let more signals through. if you’re seeing too many false entries, raise it to 1.0 for stricter filtering. test on your chart to find a balance.
spr_atr_length = input.int(21, "SPR ATR Length") this sets the ATR period (default 21 bars) used to normalize SPR’s momentum score. ATR measures volatility, so this makes SPR’s signal relative to market conditions.
how it works: a longer ATR period (like 21) smooths out volatility, making SPR less jumpy. a shorter one makes it more reactive.
how to adjust: if you’re trading a volatile stock like TSLA, a longer period (30 or 50) can help avoid noise. for a calmer stock, try 10 to make SPR more responsive. match this to your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter ATR.
rth_session = input.session("0930-1600","SPR: RTH Sess.") rth_timezone = "America/New_York" this defines the session SPR uses (0930-1600, New York time). SPR only calculates momentum during these hours to focus on RTH activity.
how it works: it ignores pre-market or after-hours noise, ensuring SPR captures the main market action.
how to adjust: if you trade a different session (like London hours, 0300-1200 EST), change the session to match. you can also adjust the timezone if you’re in a different region, like "Europe/London". just make sure your chart’s timezone aligns with this setting.
VWMO (Volume-Weighted Momentum Oscillator)
VWMO measures momentum weighted by volume to spot sustained, high-conviction moves.
vwmo_momlen = input.int(21, "VWMO Momentum Length") this sets how many bars back VWMO looks to calculate price momentum (default 21 bars). it takes the price change (close minus close 21 bars ago).
how it works: a longer period captures bigger trends, while a shorter one reacts to recent swings.
how to adjust: on a daily chart, 21 bars is about a month—good for trend trading. on a 5-minute chart, it’s just 105 minutes, so you might bump it to 50 or 100 for more meaningful moves. if you want faster signals, drop it to 10, but expect more noise.
vwmo_volback = input.int(30, "VWMO Volume Lookback") this sets the period for calculating average volume (default 30 bars). VWMO weights momentum by volume divided by this average.
how it works: it compares current volume to the average to see if a move has strong participation. a longer lookback smooths the average, while a shorter one makes it more sensitive.
how to adjust: for stocks with spiky volume (like NVDA on earnings), a longer lookback (50 or 100) avoids overreacting to one-off spikes. for steady volume stocks, try 20. match this to your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter lookback.
vwmo_smooth = input.int(9, "VWMO Smoothing")
this sets the SMA period to smooth VWMO’s raw momentum (default 9 bars).
how it works: smoothing reduces noise in the signal, making VWMO more reliable for voting. a longer smoothing period cuts more noise but adds lag.
how to adjust: if VWMO is too jumpy (lots of false votes), increase to 15. if it’s too slow and missing trades, drop to 5. test on your chart to see what keeps the signal clean but responsive.
vwmo_threshold = input.float(10, "VWMO Threshold") this is the cutoff for VWMO to vote for a trade (default 10). above 10, it votes for a long; below -10, a short.
how it works: it ensures only strong momentum signals count. a higher threshold means fewer but stronger trades.
how to adjust: if you want more trades, lower it to 5. if you’re getting too many weak signals, raise it to 15. this depends on your market—volatile stocks might need a higher threshold to filter noise.
VEI (Velocity Efficiency Index)
VEI measures market efficiency and velocity to filter out choppy moves and focus on strong trends.
vei_eflen = input.int(14, "VEI Efficiency Smoothing") this sets the EMA period for smoothing VEI’s efficiency calc (bar range / volume, default 14 bars).
how it works: efficiency is how much price moves per unit of volume. smoothing it with an EMA reduces noise, focusing on consistent efficiency. a longer period smooths more but adds lag.
how to adjust: for choppy markets, increase to 20 to filter out noise. for faster markets, drop to 10 for quicker signals. this should match your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter period.
vei_momlen = input.int(8, "VEI Momentum Length") this sets how many bars back VEI looks to calculate momentum in efficiency (default 8 bars).
how it works: it measures the change in smoothed efficiency over 8 bars, then adjusts for inertia (volume-to-range). a longer period captures bigger shifts, while a shorter one reacts faster.
how to adjust: if VEI is missing quick reversals, drop to 5. if it’s too noisy, raise to 12. test on your chart to see what catches the right moves without too many false signals.
vei_threshold = input.float(4.5, "VEI Threshold") this is the cutoff for VEI to vote for a trade (default 4.5). above 4.5, it votes for a long; below -4.5, a short.
how it works: it ensures only strong, efficient moves count. a higher threshold means fewer trades but higher quality.
how to adjust: if you’re not getting enough trades, lower to 3. if you’re seeing too many false entries, raise to 6. this depends on your market—fast stocks like NQ1 might need a lower threshold.
Features
Multi-Signal Voting: requires all three signals (SPR, VWMO, VEI) to align for a trade, ensuring high-probability setups.
Risk Management: uses ATR-based stops (2.1x) and take-profits (4.1x), with dynamic position sizing based on a risk percentage (default 0.4%).
Market Filters: ADX (default 27) ensures trending conditions, choppiness index (default 54.5) avoids sideways markets, and ATR expansion (default 1.12) confirms volatility.
Dashboard: provides real-time stats like SPR, VWMO, VEI values, net P/L, win rate, and streak, with a clean, functional design.
Visuals
EXODUS prioritizes performance over visuals, as it was built for competitive and competition purposes. entry/exit signals are marked with simple labels and shapes, and a basic heatmap highlights market regimes. a more visually stunning update may be released later, with enhanced graphics and overlays.
Usage
EXODUS is designed for stocks and ETFs but can be adapted for futures with adjustments. it performs best in trending markets with sufficient volatility, as confirmed by its generic tuning across symbols like TSLA, AMD, NVDA, and NQ1. adjust inputs like SPR threshold, VWMO smoothing, or VEI momentum length to suit specific assets or timeframes.
Setting I used: (Again, these are a generic setting, each security needs to be fine tuned)
SPR LB = 19 SPR TH = 0.5 SPR ATR L= 21 SPR RTH Sess: 9:30 – 16:00
VWMO L = 21 VWMO LB = 18 VWMO S = 6 VWMO T = 8
VEI ES = 14 VEI ML = 21 VEI T = 4
R % = 0.4
ATR L = 21 ATR M (S) =1.1 TP Multi = 2.1 ATR min mult = 0.8 ATR Expansion = 1.02
ADX L = 21 Min ADX = 25
Choppiness Index = 14 Chop. Max T = 55.5

BTC Daily DCA CalculatorThe BTC Daily DCA Calculator is an indicator that calculates how much Bitcoin (BTC) you would own today by investing a fixed dollar amount daily (Dollar-Cost Averaging) over a user-defined period. Simply input your start date, end date, and daily investment amount, and the indicator will display a table on the last candle showing your total BTC, total invested, portfolio value, and unrealized yield (in USD and percentage).
Features
Customizable Inputs: Set the start date, end date, and daily dollar amount to simulate your DCA strategy.
Results Table: Displays on the last candle (top-right of the chart) with:
Total BTC: The accumulated Bitcoin from daily purchases.
Total Invested ($): The total dollars invested.
Portfolio Value ($): The current value of your BTC holdings.
Unrealized Yield ($): Your profit/loss in USD.
Unrealized Yield (%): Your profit/loss as a percentage.
Visual Markers: Green triangles below the chart mark each daily investment.
Overlay on Chart: The table and markers appear directly on the BTCUSD price chart for easy reference.
Daily Timeframe: Designed for Daily (1D) charts to ensure accurate calculations.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Apply the indicator to a BTCUSD chart (e.g., Coinbase:BTCUSD, Binance:BTCUSDT).
Set Daily Timeframe: Ensure your chart is on the Daily (1D) timeframe, or the script will display an error.
Configure Inputs: Open the indicator’s Settings > Inputs tab and set:
Start Date: When to begin the DCA strategy (e.g., 2024-01-01).
End Date: When to end the strategy (e.g., 2025-04-27 or earlier).
Daily Investment ($): The fixed dollar amount to invest daily (e.g., $100).
View Results: Scroll to the last candle in your date range to see the results table in the top-right corner of the chart. Green triangles below the bars indicate investment days.
Settings
Start Date: Choose the start date for your DCA strategy (default: 2024-01-01).
End Date: Choose the end date (default: 2025-04-27). Must be after the start date and within available chart data.
Daily Investment ($): Set the daily investment amount (default: $100). Minimum is $0.01.
Notes
Timeframe: The indicator requires a Daily (1D) chart. Other timeframes will trigger an error.
Data: Ensure your BTCUSD chart has historical data for the selected date range. Use reliable pairs like Coinbase:BTCUSD or Binance:BTCUSDT.
Limitations: Does not account for trading fees or slippage. Future dates (beyond the current date) will not display results.
Performance: Works best with historical data. Free TradingView accounts may have limited historical data; consider premium for longer ranges.
