Slow Volume Strength Index (SVSI)The Slow Volume Strength Index (SVSI), introduced by Vitali Apirine in Stocks & Commodities (Volume 33, Chapter 6, Page 28-31), is a momentum oscillator inspired by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It gauges buying and selling pressure by analyzing the disparity between average volume on up days and down days, relative to the underlying price trend. Positive volume signifies closes above the exponential moving average (EMA), while negative volume indicates closes below. Flat closes register zero volume. The SVSI then applies a smoothing technique to this data and transforms it into an oscillator with values ranging from 0 to 100.
Traders can leverage the SVSI in several ways:
1. Overbought/Oversold Levels: Standard thresholds of 80 and 20 define overbought and oversold zones, respectively.
2. Centerline Crossovers and Divergences: Signals can be generated by the indicator line crossing a midline or by divergences from price movements.
3. Confirmation for Slow RSI: The SVSI can be used to confirm signals generated by the Slow Relative Strength Index (SRSI), another oscillator developed by Apirine.
🔹 Algorithm
In the original article, the SVSI is calculated using the following formula:
SVSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + SVS))
where:
SVS = Average Positive Volume / Average Negative Volume
* Volume is considered positive when the closing price is higher than the six-day EMA.
* Volume is considered negative when the closing price is lower than the six-day EMA.
* Negative volume values are expressed as absolute values (positive).
* If the closing price equals the six-day EMA, volume is considered zero (no change).
* When calculating the average volume, the indicator utilizes Wilder's smoothing technique, as described in his book "New Concepts In Technical Trading Systems."
Note that this indicator, the formula has been simplified to be
SVSI = 100 * Average Positive Volume / (Average Positive Volume + Average Negative Volume)
This formula achieves the same result as the original article's proposal, but in a more concise way and without the need for special handling of division by zero
🔹 Parameters
The SVSI calculation offers configurable parameters that can be adjusted to suit individual trading styles and goals. While the default lookback periods are 6 for the EMA and 14 for volume smoothing, alternative values can be explored. Additionally, the standard overbought and oversold thresholds of 80 and 20 can be adapted to better align with the specific security being analyzed.

Bolton-Tremblay IndexThe Bolton-Tremblay Index (BOLTR) is a dynamic cumulative advance-decline indicator which incorporates the count of unchanged issues as a fundamental element. This index serves as a valuable tool for identifying shifts in market trends and gauging the overall strength or weakness of the market. To enhance its effectiveness and reveal underlying trends, BOLTR has been refined through a Heiken-Ashi transformation, resulting in a smoother and more insightful representation.
Calculation and Methodology:
r = (adv - dec) / unch
var float bt = na
bt := r > 0 ? nz(bt ) + math.sqrt(math.abs(r)) : nz(bt ) - math.sqrt(math.abs(r))
The BOLTR index is derived from a calculation involving three essential components: advancing issues (ADV), declining issues (DEC), and securities with unchanged closing prices (UNC). By formulating the ratio (ADV - DEC) / UNC, BOLTR captures the relationship between market movements and unchanged securities. This ratio then dictates whether the BOLTR index increases or decreases in the following period. If the ratio is positive, the index advances, and if negative, it retreats. This iterative process yields a cumulative index that reflects the evolving dynamics of market trends.
Heiken-Ashi Transformation:
The addition of a Heiken-Ashi transformation imparts a smoothing effect to the BOLTR index, revealing the underlying trend with greater clarity. This transformation diminishes noise and fluctuations, making it easier to identify meaningful shifts in market sentiment and overall market health.
Utility and Use Cases:
-The Bolton-Tremblay Index offers a range of applications that contribute to informed decision-making-
1. Trend Analysis: BOLTR provides insights into the changing trends of the market, helping traders and investors identify potential shifts in market sentiment.
2. Market Strength Assessment: By considering advancing, declining, and unchanged issues, BOLTR offers a comprehensive assessment of market strength and potential weaknesses.
3. Divergences: Traders can use BOLTR to detect divergences between price movements and the cumulative advance-decline dynamics, potentially signaling shifts in market direction.
The Bolton-Tremblay Index offers a versatile toolset for interpreting market trends, evaluating market health, and making better informed trading decisions.

RVol LabelThis Code is update version of Code Provided by @ssbukam, Here is Link to his original Code and review the Description
Below is Original Description
1. When chart resolution is Daily or Intraday (D, 4H, 1H, 5min, etc), Relative Volume shows value based on DAILY. RVol is measured on daily basis to compare past N number of days.
2. When resolution is changed to Weekly or Monthly, then Relative Volume shows corresponding value. i.e. Weekly shows weekly relative volume of this week compared to past 'N' weeks. Likewise for Monthly. You would see change in label name. Like, Weekly chart shows W_RVol (Weekly Relative Volume). Likewise, Daily & Intraday shows D_RVol. Monthly shows M_RVol (Monthly Relative Volume).
3. Added a plot (by default hidden) for this specific reason: When you move the cursor to focus specific candle, then Indicator Value displays relative volume of that specific candle. This applies to Intraday as well. So if you're in 1HR chart and move the cursor to a specific candle, Indicator Value shows relative volume for that specific candlestick bar.
4. Updating the script so that text size and location can be customized.
Changes to Updated Label by me
1. Added Today's Volume to the Label
2. Added Total Average Volume to the Label
3. Comparison vs Both in Single Line and showing how much volume has traded vs the average volume for that time of the day
4. Aesthetic Look of the Label
How to Use Relative Volume for Trading
Using Relative Volume (RVol) in trading can be a valuable tool to help you identify potential trading opportunities and gain insight into market behavior. Here are some ways to use RVol in your trading strategy:
Identifying High-Volume Breakouts: RVol can help you spot potential breakouts when the volume surges significantly above its average. High RVol during a breakout suggests strong market interest, increasing the probability of a sustained move in the direction of the breakout.
Confirming Trends and Reversals: RVol can act as a confirmation tool for trends and reversals. A trend accompanied by rising RVol indicates a strong and sustainable move. Conversely, a trend with declining RVol might suggest a weakening trend or potential reversal.
Spotting Volume Divergence: When the price is moving in one direction, but RVol is declining or not confirming the move, it may indicate a divergence. This discrepancy could suggest a potential reversal or trend change.
Support and Resistance Confirmation: High RVol near key support or resistance levels can indicate potential price reactions at those levels. This confirmation can be valuable in determining whether a level is likely to hold or break.
Filtering Trade Signals: Incorporate RVol into your existing trading strategy as a filter. For example, you might consider taking trades only if RVol is above a certain threshold, ensuring that you focus on high-impact trading opportunities.
Avoiding Low-Volume Traps: Low RVol can indicate a lack of interest or participation in the market. In such situations, price movements may be erratic and less reliable, so it's often wise to avoid trading during low RVol periods.
Monitoring News Events: Around significant news events or earnings releases, RVol can help you gauge the market's reaction to the information. High RVol during such events can present trading opportunities but be cautious of increased volatility and potential gaps.
Adjusting Trade Size: During periods of extremely high RVol, it might be prudent to adjust your position size to account for higher risk.
Using Relative Volume in Morning Session
If the Volume traded in first 15 minute to 30 Minutes is already at 50% or 100% depending upon the ticker, it means that it is going to have very high Volume vs average by end of the day.
This gives me conviction for Long or Short Trades
Remember that RVol is not a standalone indicator; it works best when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools. Additionally, RVol's effectiveness may vary across different markets and trading strategies. Therefore, backtesting and validating the use of RVol in your trading approach is essential.
Lastly, risk management is crucial in trading. While RVol can provide valuable insights, it cannot guarantee profitable trades. Always use appropriate risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss levels, and avoid overexposing yourself to the market based solely on RVol readings.
Volume Price Trend (VPT)
The Volume Price Trend (VPT) is a technical analysis indicator that combines price and volume data. It's used to identify the direction of a trend or to confirm the strength of a trend. The indicator was developed on the premise that volume often precedes price.
Working of VPT:
VPT is calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of the percentage change in the share price trend and current volume, depending upon the direction of the share price. The starting point of the VPT line is arbitrary.
The formula for calculating VPT is:
VPT = Previous VPT + Volume x (Today's Close - Previous Close)
This formula adds the total volume traded on the days the price went up, and subtracts the total volume on the days the price went down.
For each period:
If the closing price is higher than the previous closing price, the volume for that period is added to the previous VPT.
If the closing price is lower than the previous closing price, the volume for that period is subtracted from the previous VPT.
If the closing price is the same as the previous closing price, the volume for that period does not affect the VPT (i.e., it remains the same as the previous VPT).
Usage and Interpretation of VPT:
The primary use of the VPT is to help confirm the condition of prices. It’s usually used in combination with other technical analysis indicators. Here are some ways traders use the VPT:
Trend Confirmation: A rising VPT line typically confirms an uptrend as it shows that volume is increasing as prices increase. Conversely, a falling VPT line confirms a downtrend.
Divergences: Traders often look for divergences between the VPT and price movements as a sign of upcoming reversals. If prices are rising and the VPT is falling, it suggests that the upward trend may not sustain because it isn't being supported by volume. Similarly, if prices are falling and the VPT is rising, it suggests the downward trend may reverse soon.
Change in Trend: A sudden sharp increase in the VPT could signal a possible change in trend. This is based on the belief that volume changes before price.
In the script provided, the VPT is calculated and then rescaled to a 0-100 scale, which makes it easier to compare across different stocks or time periods. This script also colors the VPT line based on whether it's increasing or decreasing. The color is green when VPT is increasing, and red when it's decreasing.

Price Cross ━ [whvntr]This oscillator is an attractive way to view hidden price divergence... The formula originated from the Lark, but I have cleanly displayed this information. When the two moving averages (ema) cross with a simple moving average, you find the hidden price divergence. What kind of market should you use this in? It works well when a trend is already established.
Disclaimer: This indicator does not constitute investment advice. Trade at your own
risk with this method of identifying hidden price divergence.
+ Klinger OscillatorThis is a version of Stephen J. Klinger's, Klinger Oscillator (sometimes called Klinger Volume Oscillator). I've changed virtually nothing about the indicator itself, but added some lookback inputs for the EMAs the oscillator is derived from (traditionally 34 and 55), and added a few other things, as is my wont.
But what is the Klinger Oscillator? Essentially, the calculation looks at the high, low, and close of the current period, and compares that to the previous period's. If it is greater, it adds volume, and if it is less, it subtracts volume. It then takes an EMA of two different lookback periods of that calculation and subtracts one from the other. That's your oscillator. There is then made a signal line of the oscillator that a trader can use, in combination with the zero line, for taking trades. Investopedia has a good article on it, so if you're looking for more specifics, check there.
What I've done is add a selection of different moving averages that you may choose for the signal line. Usually it's a 13 period EMA, and that comes default, but here you could use an ALMA or HMA, or modular filter, etc. Find something that works for your style/algorithm.
Of course there are all the usual additions of mine with the various ways of coloring the indicator and candles, adjustable Donchian Bands, and alerts. A new addition that I've just added to all my indicators (oscillators, anyway) are divergences. This is more or less just a copy and paste of the divergence indicator available in TradingView. In this case you can set it to plot divergences off either the Klinger or the signal line. Depending on which one you choose you may have to adjust pivot lookbacks, and lookback range. I've kept the settings default from the RSI TradingView version.
KDJ stochastic indicatorThis is a special calculation of KDJ indicator. As you may know this is based on stochastic indicator. Stochastic indicator is a method to normalize a trending time serie (here price). the calculation of stochastic itself is a built in function in pine but it is straight forward:
In sudo code:
RSV for n days=(Cn－Ln)/(Hn－Ln)×100
In which, Cn is the closing price on the nth day; Ln is the lowest price in n days; Hn is the highest price in n days.
To calculate other indices K, D and J we use this formulas:
K = (2/3) * K + (1/3) * RSV
D = (2/3) * D + (1/3) * K
J = 3 * K - 2 * D
As you can see it is a recursive calculation. It means any value of the indices are affected by it's own previous value (and I'm passionate about recursive functions!) It may concern you that in the initial calculation there is no previous value and you are right. For the initial values we use value of 50 because it is an oscillator and the mean value is always 50 so we replace the first NAs with 50 using nz() function in pine.
After doing this calculations we reach to the smoothing section. I used simple moving averages, you may replace it with other more advanced smoothing techniqes like EMA or ALMA.
After I wrote this indicator I saw that it is a good indicator for reading divergences. As you can see I showed couple of these divergences to you on the chart. Notice that I analyzed divergence between price and J (very light green) line and not to K or D. I really appreciate any suggestion on this indicator and hope to improve it. The other ones present in the public library wasn't good and they differ a lot in the calculation and also the graphics doesn't look good.
Be free to change the parameter i saw these parameter are good to daily Bitcoin chart.
Sentiment OscillatorPrice moves when there are more market takers than there are market makers at a certain price (i.e. price moves up when there are more market buys than limit sells and vice versa). The idea of this indicator is to show the ratio between market takers and market makers in a way that is intuitive to technical analysis methods, and hopefully revealing the overall sentiment of the market in doing so. You can use it in the same way you would other oscillators (histogram crossing zero, divergences, etc). The main difference between this and most volume-weighted indicators is that the price is divided by volume instead of multiplied by it, thus giving you a rough idea of how much "effort" it took to move the price. My hypothesis is that when more volume is needed to move the price, that means bulls and bears are not in agreement of what the "fair price" should be for an asset (e.g. if the candle closes only a bit higher than its open but there's a huge spike in volume, that tells you that a majority of the market are starting to think the price is too high and they've started selling).
Methods of Calculation
1. Price Change Per Volume
The main method this indicator uses to reveal market sentiment is by comparing price change to the volume of trades in a bar.
You will see this calculation plotted in its most basic form by ticking the "Show Bar per Bar Change/Volume" box in the inputs dialog. I personally found that the plots were too noisy and cannot be used in real time reliably due to the fact that there is not much volume at the open of a new bar. I decided to leave in the option to use this method, in case you'd like to experiment with it or get a better grasp of how the indicator works.
2. Exponential Moving Averages
In my quest to smooth out the plotted data, I experimented with exponential moving averages. Applying an EMA on the change per volume data did smooth it out a bit, but still left in a lot of noise. So I worked around it by applying the EMA to the price change first, and then dividing it by the EMA of the volume. The term I use for the result of this calculation is "Market Sentiment" (do let me know if you have a better-fitting term for it ;-)), and I have kept it as an option that you can use in the way you would use other oscillators like CMF, OBV, etc. This option is unticked by default.
3. MACD
I left "Market Sentiment" unchecked as the default option because I thought an easier way to use this indicator would be as a momentum indicator like the MACD . So that's what I turned it into! I applied another EMA on the Market Sentiment, added a slower EMA to subtract from the first, and now we have a MACD line. I added a signal line to subtract from the MACD , and the result is plotted as a histogram... ish . I used area instead of columns for plot style so you don't get confused when comparing with a regular MACD indicator, but you can always change it if an actual histogram is more your taste.
The "histogram" is the main gauge of sentiment change momentum and it is easiest to use, that is why it is the only calculation plotted by default.
Methods of Use
As I have mentioned before, you can use this as you would other oscillators.
-The easiest way to use this indicator is with the Momentum histogram, where crosses over 0 indicate increasing bullish sentiment, and crosses below 0 indicate increasing bearish sentiment. You may also spot occasional divergences with the histogram.
-For the Market Sentiment option, the easiest way to use it is to look for divergences.
-And if you use the "Price Change per Volume of Each Bar", well... I honestly don't know. I guess divergences would be apparent towards the close of a bar, but in realtime, I don't recommend you use this. Maybe if you'd like to study the market movement, looking at historical data and comparing price, volume , and Change per Volume of each bar would come in handy in a pseudo-tape-reading kind of way.
Anyway, that's my explanation of this indicator. The default values were tested on BTC/USDT (Binance) 4h with decent results. You'll have to adjust the parameters for different markets and timeframes.
I have published this as a strategy so you can test out how the indicator performs as you're tweaking the parameters.
I'm aware that the code might not be the cleanest as I have only started learning pine (and code in general) for about a month, so any suggestions to improve the script would be appreciated!
Good luck and happy trading :-)
Open Interest Money Flow Index (OIMFI)CAUTION : This system was inspired from seiglerj' s "Money Flow Index " script. Open Interests are used instead of volume.
What is the Money Flow Index ( MFI )?
The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume for identifying overbought or oversold conditions in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100.
Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .
What Does the Money Flow Index ( MFI ) Tell You?
One of the primary ways to use the Money Flow Index is when there is a divergence. A divergence is when the oscillator is moving in the opposite direction of price. This is a signal of a potential reversal in the prevailing price trend.
For example, a very high Money Flow Index that begins to fall below a reading of 80 while the underlying security continues to climb is a price reversal signal to the downside. Conversely, a very low MFI reading that climbs above a reading of 20 while the underlying security continues to sell off is a price reversal signal to the upside.
Traders also watch for larger divergences using multiple waves in the price and MFI . For example, a stock peaks at $10, pulls back to $8, and then rallies to $12. The price has made two successive highs, at $10 and $12. If MFI makes a lower higher when the price reaches $12, the indicator is not confirming the new high. This could foreshadow a decline in price.
The overbought and oversold levels are also used to signal possible trading opportunities. Moves below 10 and above 90 are rare. Traders watch for the MFI to move back above 10 to signal a long trade, and to drop below 90 to signal a short trade.
Other moves out of overbought or oversold territory can also be useful. For example, when an asset is in an uptrend, a drop below 20 (or even 30) and then a rally back above it could indicate a pullback is over and the price uptrend is resuming. The same goes for a downtrend. A short-term rally could push the MFI up to 70 or 80, but when it drops back below that could be the time to enter a short trade in preparation for another drop .

Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1# Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1 - Complete Description
Overview
The Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1 is a sophisticated low timeframe scalping strategy specifically optimized for MSTR (MicroStrategy) trading. This strategy employs a comprehensive point-based scoring system that combines optimized technical indicators, price action analysis, and reversal pattern recognition to generate precise trading signals on lower timeframes.
Performance Highlight:
In backtesting on MSTR 5-minute charts, this strategy has demonstrated over 200% profit performance, showcasing its effectiveness in capturing rapid price movements and volatility patterns unique to MicroStrategy's trading behavior.
The strategy's parameters have been fine-tuned for MSTR's unique volatility characteristics, though they can be optimized for other high-volatility instruments as well.
## Key Innovation & Originality
This strategy introduces a unique **dual scoring system** approach:
- **Entry Scoring**: Identifies swing bottoms using 13+ different technical criteria
- **Exit Scoring**: Identifies swing tops using inverse criteria for optimal exit timing
Unlike traditional strategies that rely on simple indicator crossovers, this system quantifies market conditions through a weighted scoring mechanism, providing objective, data-driven entry and exit decisions.
## Technical Foundation
### Optimized Indicator Parameters
The strategy utilizes extensively backtested parameters specifically optimized for MSTR's volatility patterns:
**MACD Configuration (3,10,3)**:
- Fast EMA: 3 periods (vs standard 12)
- Slow EMA: 10 periods (vs standard 26)
- Signal Line: 3 periods (vs standard 9)
- **Rationale**: These faster parameters provide earlier signal detection while maintaining reliability, particularly effective for MSTR's rapid price movements and high-frequency volatility
**RSI Configuration (21-period)**:
- Length: 21 periods (vs standard 14)
- Oversold: 30 level
- Extreme Oversold: 25 level
- **Rationale**: The 21-period RSI reduces false signals while still capturing oversold conditions effectively in MSTR's volatile environment
**Parameter Adaptability**: While optimized for MSTR, these parameters can be adjusted for other high-volatility instruments. Faster-moving stocks may benefit from even shorter MACD periods, while less volatile assets might require longer periods for optimal performance.

⚙ How It Works :
The indicator begins by applying a Hilbert Transform frequency estimation to the price series, identifying the dominant market cycle length. This is used to calculate a period for the RSI that matches its resonant frequency with the dominant market frequency, dynamically adjusting the Oscillator. The oscillator then applies an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for signal refinement. Additionally, the indicator scans for bullish and bearish divergences by comparing oscillator movements against price action, plotting signals accordingly. When overbought/oversold conditions or divergence events occur, alerts are triggered to notify the trader in real time.
MERCURY-PRO by DrAbhiramSivprasd“MERCURYPRO”
The MERCURYPRO indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to provide dynamic trend signals based on a combination of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) and Standard Deviation (StDev). This indicator helps traders identify trend reversals or continuation based on the behavior of the price and momentum.
Key Features:
• Source Input: The indicator works with any price data, with the default set to close, which represents the closing price of each bar.
• Length Input: A period (default value 9) is used to determine the calculation window for the Chande Momentum Oscillator and Standard Deviation.
• Fixed CMO Length Option: Users can choose whether to use a fixed CMO length of 9 or adjust the length to the user-defined pds value.
• Calculation Method: The indicator allows switching between using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) or Standard Deviation (StDev) for the momentum calculation.
• Alpha: The smoothing factor used in the calculation of the MERCURYPRO value, which is based on the length of the period input (pds).
Core Calculation:
1. Momentum Calculation: The script calculates the momentum by determining the change in the source price (e.g., close) from one period to the next.
2. Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO): The positive and negative momentum components are calculated and then summed over the specified period. This value is normalized to a percentage to determine the momentum strength.
3. K Value Calculation: The script selects either the CMO or Standard Deviation (depending on the user setting) to calculate the k value, which represents the dynamic price momentum.
4. MERCURYPRO Line: The final output of the indicator, MERCURYPRO, is computed using a weighted average of the k value and the previous MERCURYPRO value. The line is smoothed using the Alpha parameter.
Plot and Signal Generation:
• Color Coding: The line is color-coded based on the direction of MERCURYPRO:
• Blue: The trend is bullish (MERCURYPRO is rising).
• Maroon: The trend is bearish (MERCURYPRO is falling).
• Default Blue: Neutral or sideways market conditions.
• Plotting: The MERCURYPRO line is plotted with varying colors depending on the trend direction.
Alerts:
• Color Change Alert: The indicator has an alert condition based on when the MERCURYPRO line crosses its previous value. This helps traders stay informed about potential trend reversals or continuation signals.
Use Case:
• Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the MERCURYPRO indicator to identify whether the market is in a strong trend or not.
• Signal for Entries/Exits: The color change and crossovers of the MERCURYPRO line can be used as entry or exit signals, depending on the trader’s strategy.
Overall Purpose:
The MERCURYPRO indicator combines momentum analysis with smoothing techniques to offer a dynamic, responsive tool for identifying market trends and potential reversals. It is particularly useful in conjunction with other technical indicators to provide confirmation for trade setups.
How to Use the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
The MERCURYPRO indicator is designed to help traders identify trend reversals and market conditions. Here are a few ways you can use it:
1. Trend Confirmation (Bullish or Bearish)
• Bullish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Blue, it indicates a rising trend, suggesting that the market is bullish.
• Action: You can consider entering long positions when the line turns blue, or holding your existing positions if you’re already long.
• Bearish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Maroon, it signals a downward trend, indicating a bearish market.
• Action: You may consider entering short positions or closing any long positions when the line turns maroon.
2. Trend Reversal Alerts
• Color Change: The MERCURYPRO indicator changes color when there’s a trend reversal. The alert condition triggers when the MERCURYPRO crosses above or below its previous value, signaling a potential shift in the trend.
• Action: You can use this alert as a signal to monitor potential entry or exit points for trades. For example, a crossover from maroon to blue could indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a crossover from blue to maroon could suggest a selling opportunity.
3. Use with Other Indicators for Confirmation
• While the MERCURYPRO provides valuable trend insights, it’s often more effective when used in combination with other indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
• Example: If MERCURYPRO turns blue and RSI is above 50, it may signal a strong bullish trend, enhancing the confidence to enter a long trade.
4. Divergence
• Watch for divergence between the MERCURYPRO line and the price chart:
• Bullish Divergence: If the price makes new lows while MERCURYPRO is showing higher lows, it suggests a potential bullish reversal.
• Bearish Divergence: If the price makes new highs while MERCURYPRO is showing lower highs, it suggests a potential bearish reversal.
Example of Use:
• Example 1: If the MERCURYPRO line changes from maroon to blue, you might enter a long position. After the MERCURYPRO line turns blue, use an alert to monitor the price action. If other indicators (like RSI) also suggest strength, your confidence in the trade will increase.
• Example 2: If the MERCURYPRO line shifts from blue to maroon, it could be a signal to close long positions and consider shorting the market if other conditions align (e.g., moving averages also turn bearish).
Warning for Using the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
1. Lagging Indicator:
• The MERCURYPRO is a lagging indicator, meaning it responds to price changes after they have occurred. This may delay entry and exit signals, and it’s crucial to combine it with other leading indicators to get timely information.
2. False Signals in Range-bound Markets:
• In choppy or sideways markets, the MERCURYPRO line can produce false signals, flipping between blue and maroon frequently without showing a clear trend. It’s important to avoid trading based on these false signals when the market is not trending.
3. Overreliance on One Indicator:
• Relying solely on MERCURYPRO can be risky. Always confirm signals with additional tools like volume analysis, price action, or other indicators to increase the accuracy of your trades.
4. Market Conditions Matter:
• The indicator may work well in trending markets, but in highly volatile or news-driven environments, it may provide misleading signals. Ensure that you take market fundamentals and external news events into consideration before acting on the indicator’s signals.
5. Risk Management:
• As with any technical indicator, MERCURYPRO is not infallible. Always use appropriate risk management techniques such as stop-loss orders to protect your capital. Never risk more than you can afford to lose on a trade.
6. Backtest First:
• Before implementing MERCURYPRO in live trading, make sure to backtest it on historical data. Test the strategy with various market conditions to assess its effectiveness and identify any potential weaknesses.
By considering these guidelines and warnings, you can use the MERCURYPRO indicator more effectively and mitigate potential risks in your trading strategy.

Volume True Range (VTR) and Volume Average True Range (VATR)This indicator uses lower-timeframe cumulative volume delta (CVD) candles to calculate the Volume True Range (VTR) of your instrument. The VTR is calculated similarly to the traditional true range, but uses volume instead (no price is involved in the calculation other than in the lower timeframe bar delta assignments). I haven't seen this concept developed before on TradingView or frankly the Internet, but I thought it seemed fairly intuitive; we can calculate the lower timeframe volume delta candles, so it makes sense to calculate a volume true range, which could show divergences in volume and price.
The VTR is calculated by the following code which uses the lower-timeframe CVD candles:
volumeTR = math.max(cvd_high - cvd_low, math.abs(cvd_high - nz(cvd_close )), math.abs(cvd_low - nz(cvd_close )))
The Volume Average True Range (VATR) is calculated by taking the RMA of the VTR, similarly to the ATR.
I would like to thank TradingView for the calculation of up/down intrabar volumes, which I referenced from their 'CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles' indicator.
How to Use
The VTR and VATR can be used to identify price-volume trends and volatility divergences. A strong VTR (above the VATR of your specified length) can indicate the start or continuation of a trend, which you can identify via the VTR color (determined via price candle colors). Similarly, a rising VATR with most VTR bars of a specific color (green or red) will show that volume is moving in a specific price direction.
Additionally, the VATR plotted next to the ATR of the same length will show you volume volatility divergences. A strong VATR next to a muted/flat ATR indicates strong volume movement, which price might follow in the upcoming bars. Or, for trend reversals, a decreasing ATR after a strong trend combined with a rising VATR of the opposite trend may show a possible reversal.
Hope you all enjoy this.

* Quick note: lower timeframe analysis returns only so much data. If you are on a high timeframe and the indicator is showing only a limited amount of bars, raise the lower timeframe (but still keep it below your current timeframe) so that the arrays can return more bars for you.
Kzx | RSI + Div + MACDComponents Description:
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Purpose: Measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset.
Implementation: The script allows users to set the length of the RSI calculation and defines overbought and oversold levels, which can be visually represented on the chart. Additional features include options to fill and/or color the background of the chart when overbought or oversold levels are reached.
Divergence (Div):
Purpose: Identifies instances where the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a momentum indicator, such as the RSI in this script. Divergences can signal potential trend reversals.
Implementation: The script provides options for users to define the conditions under which divergences are identified, including the source of price tops/bottoms, detection limits, and the maximum lookback period for divergence analysis. It visually highlights these divergences on the chart.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
Purpose: Tracks the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price. The MACD is used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points through crossovers.
Implementation: The script calculates the MACD line and its signal line. It plots buy or sell markers based on crossovers between these two lines, indicating potential entry or exit points.
Script Category:
Category: Technical Analysis / Indicators and Strategies
Subcategory: Oscillators (for RSI and MACD) and Trend Analysis (for Divergence)
Usage:
The script is designed for traders and analysts who rely on technical analysis to make informed decisions in the financial markets. By integrating RSI, divergence detection, and MACD analysis into a single script, users can gain a more nuanced understanding of market conditions, potentially improving their trading strategies.
Customization and Visualization:
Users can customize various parameters, including lengths for RSI and MACD, overbought/oversold levels, divergence detection criteria, and visual aspects like colors and marker sizes.
The script provides visual cues directly on the price chart, making it easy to spot potential buy/sell signals, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergences without the need to switch between different indicators.
Kashif_MFI+RSI+BBMerging Money Flow Index (MFI), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands in TradingView can offer traders a comprehensive view of market conditions, providing insights into potential price reversals, overbought or oversold conditions, and potential trend changes. Here are some benefits of combining these indicators:
Confirmation of Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
MFI and RSI are both oscillators that measure overbought and oversold conditions. When MFI and RSI readings are high (above their respective overbought levels), and the price is near or above the upper Bollinger Band, it may suggest that the asset is overextended and a reversal could be imminent. Conversely, when MFI and RSI readings are low (below their respective oversold levels) and the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band, it may indicate potential buying opportunities.
Divergence Analysis:
Traders often look for divergences between price action and MFI/RSI. If the price is making new highs, but MFI/RSI is not confirming these highs (bearish divergence), it could signal weakening momentum and a possible reversal. Combining this analysis with Bollinger Bands can add another layer of confirmation, especially if the price is touching or exceeding the upper Bollinger Band during this divergence.
Volatility Confirmation:
Bollinger Bands provide a measure of volatility by expanding and contracting based on price volatility. If the bands are widening, it indicates increased volatility. Combining this information with MFI and RSI readings can help traders assess the strength of a trend. For example, during a strong uptrend, if MFI and RSI are high and Bollinger Bands are expanding, it may suggest a sustained bullish trend.
Identifying Trend Reversals:
The combination of MFI, RSI, and Bollinger Bands can be useful in identifying potential trend reversals. For instance, if MFI and RSI are in overbought conditions and the price is significantly above the upper Bollinger Band, it may signal that the trend is reaching an extreme and could reverse. Conversely, if MFI and RSI are in oversold conditions and the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band, it may suggest that selling pressure is exhausted, and a reversal might be in play.
Comprehensive Market Assessment:
By merging these indicators, traders get a more comprehensive view of market conditions. They can assess both momentum (MFI and RSI) and volatility (Bollinger Bands) simultaneously, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that no single indicator or combination of indicators guarantees accurate predictions in trading. Traders should use these tools as part of a broader analysis and consider other factors such as fundamental analysis, market trends, and risk management.
R-sqrd Adapt. Fisher Transform w/ D. Zones & Divs. [Loxx]The full name of this indicator is R-Squared Adaptive Fisher Transform w/ Dynamic Zones and Divergences. This is an R-squared adaptive Fisher transform with adjustable dynamic zones, signals, alerts, and divergences.
What is Fisher Transform?
The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator created by John F. Ehlers that converts prices into a Gaussian normal distribution.
The indicator highlights when prices have moved to an extreme, based on recent prices. This may help in spotting turning points in the price of an asset. It also helps show the trend and isolate the price waves within a trend.
What is R-squared Adaptive?
One tool available in forecasting the trendiness of the breakout is the coefficient of determination ( R-squared ), a statistical measurement.
The R-squared indicates linear strength between the security's price (the Y - axis) and time (the X - axis). The R-squared is the percentage of squared error that the linear regression can eliminate if it were used as the predictor instead of the mean value. If the R-squared were 0.99, then the linear regression would eliminate 99% of the error for prediction versus predicting closing prices using a simple moving average .
R-squared is used here to derive an r-squared value that is then modified by a user input "factor"
What are Dynamic Zones?
As explained in "Stocks & Commodities V15:7 (306-310): Dynamic Zones by Leo Zamansky, Ph .D., and David Stendahl"
Most indicators use a fixed zone for buy and sell signals. Here’ s a concept based on zones that are responsive to past levels of the indicator.
One approach to active investing employs the use of oscillators to exploit tradable market trends. This investing style follows a very simple form of logic: Enter the market only when an oscillator has moved far above or below traditional trading lev- els. However, these oscillator- driven systems lack the ability to evolve with the market because they use fixed buy and sell zones. Traders typically use one set of buy and sell zones for a bull market and substantially different zones for a bear market. And therein lies the problem.
Once traders begin introducing their market opinions into trading equations, by changing the zones, they negate the system’s mechanical nature. The objective is to have a system automatically define its own buy and sell zones and thereby profitably trade in any market — bull or bear. Dynamic zones offer a solution to the problem of fixed buy and sell zones for any oscillator-driven system.
An indicator’s extreme levels can be quantified using statistical methods. These extreme levels are calculated for a certain period and serve as the buy and sell zones for a trading system. The repetition of this statistical process for every value of the indicator creates values that become the dynamic zones. The zones are calculated in such a way that the probability of the indicator value rising above, or falling below, the dynamic zones is equal to a given probability input set by the trader.
To better understand dynamic zones, let's first describe them mathematically and then explain their use. The dynamic zones definition:
Find V such that:
For dynamic zone buy: P{X <= V}=P1
For dynamic zone sell: P{X >= V}=P2
where P1 and P2 are the probabilities set by the trader, X is the value of the indicator for the selected period and V represents the value of the dynamic zone.
The probability input P1 and P2 can be adjusted by the trader to encompass as much or as little data as the trader would like. The smaller the probability, the fewer data values above and below the dynamic zones. This translates into a wider range between the buy and sell zones. If a 10% probability is used for P1 and P2, only those data values that make up the top 10% and bottom 10% for an indicator are used in the construction of the zones. Of the values, 80% will fall between the two extreme levels. Because dynamic zone levels are penetrated so infrequently, when this happens, traders know that the market has truly moved into overbought or oversold territory.
Calculating the Dynamic Zones
The algorithm for the dynamic zones is a series of steps. First, decide the value of the lookback period t. Next, decide the value of the probability Pbuy for buy zone and value of the probability Psell for the sell zone.
For i=1, to the last lookback period, build the distribution f(x) of the price during the lookback period i. Then find the value Vi1 such that the probability of the price less than or equal to Vi1 during the lookback period i is equal to Pbuy. Find the value Vi2 such that the probability of the price greater or equal to Vi2 during the lookback period i is equal to Psell. The sequence of Vi1 for all periods gives the buy zone. The sequence of Vi2 for all periods gives the sell zone.
In the algorithm description, we have: Build the distribution f(x) of the price during the lookback period i. The distribution here is empirical namely, how many times a given value of x appeared during the lookback period. The problem is to find such x that the probability of a price being greater or equal to x will be equal to a probability selected by the user. Probability is the area under the distribution curve. The task is to find such value of x that the area under the distribution curve to the right of x will be equal to the probability selected by the user. That x is the dynamic zone.

Loxx's Expanded Source Types
Multi-Timeframe Volume-Weighted RSIA multiple timeframe volume-weighted RSI.
Blue Line = Current Time Frame
Orange Line = Select your desired Time Frame
e.g. Blue = Daily, Orange = Weekly
1. Incorporates Market Commitment
Value: By factoring in volume, the volume-weighted RSI captures the intensity of trading activity behind price movements.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI measures price momentum but does not differentiate between moves with high or low trading activity.
A volume-weighted RSI assigns greater importance to price changes occurring on high volume, reflecting stronger market conviction.
2. Improved Signal Reliability
Value: Signals generated by a volume-weighted RSI (e.g., overbought or oversold conditions) may be more reliable because they account for the level of trader participation.
Why it’s useful:
Low-volume price movements often result in false signals or "noise."
A volume-weighted RSI helps filter out such noise, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts or fake reversals.
3. Better Divergence Detection
Value: Divergences between price action and the RSI (bullish or bearish divergences) are more meaningful when confirmed by volume.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI might show divergence in price momentum, but this divergence might lack substance if the underlying volume is weak.
A volume-weighted RSI ensures that divergence signals align with periods of significant market participation.
4. Enhanced Trend Analysis
Value: Trends supported by strong volume are given more weight, helping traders better identify and follow trends.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI might show overbought or oversold signals prematurely during strong trends.
Volume-weighted RSI considers whether trends are backed by significant market activity, helping avoid early exits.
5. More Meaningful Overbought/Oversold Levels
Value: Levels like 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold) are more credible when supported by volume.
Why it’s useful:
In a regular RSI, overbought or oversold levels might occur on light trading, leading to false reversals.
A volume-weighted RSI ensures these levels are triggered by substantial market participation, increasing their reliability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: Use the volume-weighted RSI to confirm whether momentum in a trend is supported by strong participation.
Divergence Spotting: Identify divergences with more confidence by prioritizing those with volume support.
Filtering False Breakouts: Avoid entering trades during weak volume phases by focusing on volume-weighted RSI signals.
Limitations:
Market Type Dependency: Its usefulness may diminish in low-volume assets or markets where volume data is unavailable (e.g., forex).
Musashi_Fractal_Dimension === Musashi-Fractal-Dimension ===
This tool is part of my research on the fractal nature of the markets and understanding the relation between fractal dimension and chaos theory.
To take full advantage of this indicator, you need to incorporate some principles and concepts:
- Traditional Technical Analysis is linear and Euclidean, which makes very difficult its modeling.
- Linear techniques cannot quantify non-linear behavior
- Is it possible to measure accurately a wave or the surface of a mountain with a simple ruler?
- Fractals quantify what Euclidean Geometry can’t, they measure chaos, as they identify order in apparent randomness.
- Remember: Chaos is order disguised as randomness.
- Chaos is the study of unstable aperiodic behavior in deterministic non-linear dynamic systems
- Order and randomness can coexist, allowing predictability.
- There is a reason why Fractal Dimension was invented, we had no way of measuring fractal-based structures.
- Benoit Mandelbrot used to explain it by asking: How do we measure the coast of Great Britain?
- An easy way of getting the need of a dimension in between is looking at the Koch snowflake.
- Market prices tend to seek natural levels of ranges of balance. These levels can be described as attractors and are determinant.
Fractal Dimension Index ('FDI')
Determines the persistence or anti-persistence of a market.
- A persistent market follows a market trend. An anti-persistent market results in substantial volatility around the trend (with a low r2), and is more vulnerable to price reversals
- An easy way to see this is to think that fractal dimension measures what is in between mainstream dimensions. These are:
- One dimension: a line
- Two dimensions: a square
- Three dimensions: a cube.
--> This will hint you that at certain moment, if the market has a Fractal Dimension of 1.25 (which is low), the market is behaving more “line-like”, while if the market has a high Fractal Dimension, it could be interpreted as “square-like”.
- 'FDI' is trend agnostic, which means that doesn't consider trend. This makes it super useful as gives you clean information about the market without trying to include trend stuff.
Question: If we have a game where you must choose between two options.
1. a horizontal line
2. a vertical line.
Each iteration a Horizontal Line or a Square will appear as continuation of a figure. If it that iteration shows a square and you bet vertical you win, same as if it is horizontal and it is a line.
- Wouldn’t be useful to know that Fractal dimension is 1.8? This will hint square. In the markets you can use 'FD' to filter mean-reversal signals like Bollinger bands, stochastics, Regular RSI divergences, etc.
- Wouldn’t be useful to know that Fractal dimension is 1.2? This will hint Line. In the markets you can use 'FD' to confirm trend following strategies like Moving averages, MACD, Hidden RSI divergences.
Calculation method:
Fractal dimension is obtained from the ‘hurst exponent’.
'FDI' = 2 - 'Hurst Exponent'
Musashi version of the Classic 'OG' Fractal Dimension Index ('FDI')
- By default, you get 3 fast 'FDI's (11,12,13) + 1 Slow 'FDI' (21), their interaction gives useful information.
- Fast 'FDI' cross will give you gray or red dots while Slow 'FDI' cross with the slowest of the fast 'FDI's will give white and orange dots. This are great to early spot trend beginnings or trend ends.
- A baseline (purple) is also provided, this is calculated using a 21 period Bollinger bands with 1.618 'SD', once calculated, you just take midpoint, this is the 'TDI's (Traders Dynamic Index) way. The indicator will print purple dots when Slow 'FDI' and baseline crosses, I see them as Short-Term cycle changes.
- Negative slope 'FDI' means trending asset.
- Positive most of the times hints correction, but if it got overextended it might hint a rocket-shot.
TDI Ranges:
- 'FDI' between 1.0≤ 'FDI' ≤1.4 will confirm trend following continuation signals.
- 'FDI' between 1.6≥ 'FDI' ≥2.0 will confirm reversal signals.
- 'FDI' == 1.5 hints a random unpredictable market.
Fractal Attractors
- As you must know, fractals tend orbit certain spots, this are named Attractors, this happens with any fractal behavior. The market of course also shows them, in form of Support & Resistance, Supply Demand, etc. It’s obvious they are there, but now we understand that they’re not linear, as the market is fractal, so simple trendline might not be the best tool to model this.
- I’ve noticed that when the Musashi version of the 'FDI' indicator start making a cluster of multicolor dots, this end up being an attractor, I tend to draw a rectangle as that area as price tend to come back (I still researching here).
Extra useful stuff
- Momentum / speed: Included by checking RSI Study in the indicator properties. This will add two RSI’s (9 and a 7 periods) plus a baseline calculated same way as explained for 'FDI'. This gives accurate short-term trends. It also includes RSI divergences (regular and hidden), deactivate with a simple check in the RSI section of the properties.
- BBWP (Bollinger Bands with Percentile): Efficient way of visualizing volatility as the percentile of Bollinger bands expansion. This line varies color from Iced blue when low volatility and magma red when high. By default, comes with the High vols deactivated for better view of 'FDI' and RSI while all studies are included. DDWP is trend agnostic, just like 'FDI', which make it very clean at providing information.
- Ultra Slow 'FDI': I noticed that while using BBWP and RSI, the indicator gets overcrowded, so there is the possibility of adding only one 'FDI' + its baseline.
Final Note: I’ve shown you few ways of using this indicator, please backtest before using in real trading. As you know trading is more about risk and trade management than the strategy used. This still a work in progress, I really hope you find value out of it. I use it combination with a tool named “Musashi_Katana” (also found in TradingView).
Best!

Efficient Work [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
Efficient Work measures the ratio of price movement from close to close ( resulting work ) over the distance traveled to the high and low before settling down at the close ( total work ). The closer the two values are, the more Efficient Work approaches its maximum value of +1 for an up move or -1 for a down move. When price does not change, Efficient Work is zero.
Higher values of Efficient Work indicate more efficient price travel between the close of two successive bars, which I interpret to be more significant, regardless of the move's amplitude. Because it measures the direction and strength of price changes rather than their amplitude, Efficient Work may be thought of as a sentiment indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
This oscillator's design stems from a few key concepts.
Relative Levels
Other than the centerline, relative rather than absolute levels are used to identify levels of interest. Accordingly, no fixed levels correspond to overbought/oversold conditions. Relative levels of interest are identified using:
• A Donchian channel (historical highs/lows).
• The oscillator's position relative to higher timeframe values.
• Oscillator levels following points in time where a divergence is identified.
Higher timeframes
Two progressively higher timeframes are used to calculate larger-context values for the oscillator. The rationale underlying the use of timeframes higher than the chart's is that, while they change less frequently than the values calculated at the chart's resolution, they are more meaningful because more work (trader activity) is required to calculate them. Combining the immediacy of values calculated at the chart's resolution to higher timeframe values achieves a compromise between responsiveness and reliability.
Divergences as points of interest rather than directional clues
A very simple interpretation of what constitutes a divergence is used. A divergence is defined as a discrepancy between any bar's direction and the direction of the signal line on that same bar. No attempt is made to attribute a directional bias to divergences when they occur. Instead, the oscillator's level is saved and subsequent movement of the oscillator relative to the saved level is what determines the bullish/bearish state of the oscillator.
Conservative coloring scheme
Several additive coloring conditions allow the bull/bear coloring of the oscillator's main line to be restricted to specific areas meeting all the selected conditions. The concept is built on the premise that most of the time, an oscillator's value should be viewed as mere noise, and that somewhat like price, it only occasionally conveys actionable information.
█ FEATURES
Plots
• Three lines can be plotted. They are named Main line , Line 2 and Line 3 . You decide which calculation to use for each line:
• The oscillator's value at the chart's resolution.
• The oscillator's value at a medium timeframe higher than the chart's resolution.
• The oscillator's value at the highest timeframe.
• An aggregate line calculated using a weighed average of the three previous lines (see the Aggregate Weights section of Inputs to configure the weights).
• The coloring conditions, divergence levels and the Hi/Lo channel always apply to the Main line, whichever calculation you decide to use for it.
• The color of lines 2 and 3 are fixed but can be set in the "Colors" section of Inputs.
• You can change the thickness of each line.
• When the aggregate line is displayed, higher timeframe values are only used in its calculation when they become available in the chart's history,
otherwise the aggregate line would appear much later on the chart. To indicate when each higher timeframe value becomes available,
a small label appears near the centerline.
• Divergences can be shown as small dots on the centerline.
• Divergence levels can be shown. The level and fill are determined by the oscillator's position relative to the last saved divergence level.
• Bull/bear markers can be displayed. They occur whenever a new bull/bear state is determined by the "Main Line Coloring Conditions".
• The Hi/Lo (Donchian) channel can be displayed, and its period defined.
• The background can display the state of any one of 11 different conditions.
• The resolutions used for the higher timeframes can be displayed to the right of the last bar's value.
• Four key values are always displayed in the Data Window (fourth icon down to the right of your chart):
oscillator values for the chart, medium and highest timeframes, and the oscillator's instant value before it is averaged.
Main Line Coloring Conditions
• Nine different conditions can be selected to determine the bull/bear coloring of the main line. All conditions set to "ON" must be met to determine the bull/bear state.
• A volatility state can also be used to filter the conditions.
• When the coloring conditions and the filter do not allow for a bull/bear state to be determined, the neutral color is used.
Signal
• Seven different averages can be used to calculate the average of the oscillator's value.
• The average's period can be set. A period of one will show the instant value of the oscillator,
provided you don't use linear regression or the Hull MA as they do not work with a period of one.
• An external signal can be used as the oscillator's instant value. If an already averaged external value is used, set the period to one in this indicator.
• For the cases where an external signal is used, a centerline value can be set.
Higher Timeframes
• The two higher timeframes are named Medium timeframe and Highest timeframe . They can be determined using one of three methods:
• Auto-steps: the higher timeframes are determined using the chart's resolution. If the chart uses a seconds resolution, for example,
the medium and highest resolutions will be 15 and 60 minutes.
• Multiples: the timeframes are calculated using a multiple of the chart's resolution, which you can set.
• Fixed: the set timeframes do not change with the chart's resolution.
Repainting
• Repainting can be controlled separately for the chart's value and the higher timeframe values.
• The default is a repainting chart value and non-repainting higher timeframe values. The Aggregate line will thus repaint by default,
as it uses the chart's value along with the higher timeframes values.
Aggregate Weights
• The weight of each component of the Aggregate line can be set.
• The default is equal weights for the three components, meaning that the chart's value accounts for one third of the weight in the Aggregate.
High Volatility
• This provides control over the volatility filter used in the Main line's coloring conditions and the background display.
• Volatility is determined to be high when the short-term ATR is greater than the long-term ATR.
Colors
• You can define your own colors for all of the oscillator's plots.
• The default colors will perform well on both white and black chart backgrounds.
Alerts
• An alert can be defined for the script. The alert will trigger whenever a bull/bear marker appears in the indicator's display.
The particular combination of coloring conditions and the display of bull/bear markers when you create the alert will thus determine when the alert triggers.
Once the alerts are created, subsequent changes to the conditions controlling the display of markers will not affect the existing alert(s).
• You can create multiple alerts from this script, each triggering on different conditions.
Backtesting & Trading Engine Signal Line
• An invisible plot named "BTE Signal" is provided. It can be used as an entry signal when connected to the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine as an external input.
It will generate an entry whenever a marker is displayed.
█ NOTES
• I do not know for sure if the calculations in Efficient Work are original. I apologize if they are not.
• Because this version of Efficient Work only has access to OHLC information, it cannot measure the total distance traveled through all of a bar's ticks, but the indicator nonetheless behaves in a manner consistent with the intentions underlying its design.
For Pine coders
This code was written using the following standards:
• The PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine .
• A modified version of the PineCoders MTF Oscillator Framework and MTF Selection Framework .
MTF Oscillator Framework [PineCoders]This framework allows Pine coders to quickly build a complete multi-timeframe oscillator from any calculation producing values around a centerline, whether the values are bounded or not. Insert your calculation in the script and you have a ready-to-publish MTF Oscillator offering a plethora of presentation options and features.
█ HOW TO USE THE FRAMEWORK
1 — Insert your calculation in the `f_signal()` function at the top of the "Helper Functions" section of the script.
2 — Change the script's name in the `study()` declaration statement and the `alertcondition()` text in the last part of the "Plots" section.
3 — Adapt the default value used to initialize the CENTERLINE constant in the script's "Constants" section.
4 — If you want to publish the script, copy/paste the following description in your new publication's description and replace the "OVERVIEW" section with a description of your calculations.
5 — Voilà!

█ OVERVIEW
This oscillator calculates a directional value of True Range. When a bar is up, the positive value of True Range is used. A negative value is used when the bar is down. When there is no movement during the bar, a zero value is generated, even if True Range is different than zero. Because the unit of measure of True Range is price, the oscillator is unbounded (it does not have fixed upper/lower bounds).
True Range can be used as a metric for volatility, but by using a signed value, this oscillator will show the directional bias of progressively increasing/decreasing volatility, which can make it more useful than an always positive value of True Range.
The True Range calculation appeared for the first time in J. Welles Wilder's New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems book published in 1978. Wilder's objective was to provide a reliable measure of the effective movement—or range—between two bars, to measure volatility. True Range is also the building block used to calculate ATR (Average True Range), which calculates the average of True Range values over a given period using the `rma` averaging method—the same used in the calculation of another of Wilder's remarkable creations: RSI.
█ CONCEPTS
This oscillator's design stems from a few key concepts.
Relative Levels
Other than the centerline, relative rather than absolute levels are used to identify levels of interest. Accordingly, no fixed levels correspond to overbought/oversold conditions. Relative levels of interest are identified using:
• A Donchian channel (historical highs/lows).
• The oscillator's position relative to higher timeframe values.
• Oscillator levels following points in time where a divergence is identified.
Higher timeframes
Two progressively higher timeframes are used to calculate larger-context values for the oscillator. The rationale underlying the use of timeframes higher than the chart's is that, while they change less frequently than the values calculated at the chart's resolution, they are more meaningful because more work (trader activity) is required to calculate them. Combining the immediacy of values calculated at the chart's resolution to higher timeframe values achieves a compromise between responsiveness and reliability.

A very simple interpretation of what constitutes a divergence is used. A divergence is defined as a discrepancy between any bar's direction and the direction of the signal line on that same bar. No attempt is made to attribute a directional bias to divergences when they occur. Instead, the oscillator's level is saved and subsequent movement of the oscillator relative to the saved level is what determines the bullish/bearish state of the oscillator.
