Multi-Chart Widget [LuxAlgo]The Multi-Chart Widget tool is a comprehensive solution crafted for traders and investors looking to analyze multiple financial instruments simultaneously. With the capability to showcase up to three additional charts, users can customize each chart by selecting different financial instruments, and timeframes.
Users can add various widely used technical indicators to the charts such as the relative strength index, Supertrend, moving averages, Bollinger Bands...etc.
🔶 USAGE
The tool offers traders and investors a comprehensive view of multiple charts simultaneously. By displaying up to three additional charts alongside the primary chart, users can analyze assets across different timeframes, compare their performance, and make informed decisions.
Users have the flexibility to choose from various customizable chart types, including the recently added "Volume Candles" option.
This tool allows adding to the chart some of the most widely used technical indicators, such as the Supertrend, Bollinger Bands, and various moving averages.
In addition to the charting capabilities, the tool also features a dynamic statistic panel that provides essential metrics and key insights into the selected assets. Users can track performance indicators such as relative strength, trend, and volatility, enabling them to identify trends, patterns, and trading opportunities efficiently.
🔶 DETAILS
A brief overview of the indicators featured in the statistic panel is given in the sub-section below:
🔹Dual Supertrend
The Dual Supertrend is a modified version of the Supertrend indicator, which is based on the concept of trend following. It generates buy or sell signals by analyzing the asset's price movement. The Dual Supertrend incorporates two Supertrend indicators with different parameters to provide potentially more accurate signals. It helps traders identify trend reversals and establish trend direction in a more responsive manner compared to a single Supertrend.
🔹Relative Strength Index
The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI oscillates between 0 and 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in a market. Traditionally, RSI values above 70 are considered overbought, suggesting that the asset may be due for a reversal or correction, while RSI values below 30 are considered oversold, indicating potential buying opportunities.
🔹Volatility
Volatility in trading refers to the degree of variation or fluctuation in the price of a financial instrument, such as a stock, currency pair, or commodity, over a certain period of time. It is a measure of the speed and magnitude of price changes and reflects the level of uncertainty or risk in the market. High volatility implies that prices are experiencing rapid and significant movements, while low volatility suggests that prices are relatively stable and are not changing much. Traders often use volatility as an indicator to assess the potential risk and return of an investment and to make informed decisions about when to enter or exit trades.
🔹R-Squared (R²)
R-squared, also known as the coefficient of determination, is a statistical measure that indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s). In other words, it quantifies the goodness of fit of a regression model to the observed data. R-squared values range from %0 to %100, with higher values indicating a better fit of the model to the data. An R-squared of 100% means that all movements of a security are completely explained by movements in the index, while an R-squared value of %0 indicates that the model does not explain any of the variability in the dependent variable.
In simpler terms, in investing, a high R-squared, from 85% to 100%, indicates that the stock’s or fund’s performance moves relatively in line with the index. Conversely, a low R-squared (around 70% or less) indicates that the fund's performance tends to deviate significantly from the movements of the index.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Mini Chart(s) Generic Settings
Mini Charts Separator: This option toggles the visibility of the separator lines.
Number Of Bars: Specifies the number of bars to be displayed for each mini chart.
Horizontal Offset: Determines the distance at which the mini charts will be displayed from the primary chart.
🔹Mini Chart Settings: Top - Middle - Bottom
Mini Chart Top/Middle/Bottom: Toggle the visibility of the selected mini chart.
Symbol: Choose the financial instrument to be displayed in the mini chart. If left as an empty string, it will default to the current chart instrument.
Timeframe: This option determines the timeframe used for calculating the mini charts. If a timeframe lower than the chart's timeframe is selected, the calculations will be based on the chart's timeframe.
Chart Type: Selection from various chart types for the mini charts, including candles, volume candles, line, area, columns, high-low, and Heikin Ashi.
Chart Size: Determines the size of the mini chart.
Technical Indicator: Selection from various technical indicators to be displayed on top of the mini charts.
Note : Chart sizing is relative to other mini charts. For example, If all the mini charts are sized to x5 relative to each other, the result will be the same as if they were all sized as x1. This is because the relative proportions between the mini charts remain consistent regardless of their absolute sizes. Therefore, their positions and sizes relative to each other remain unchanged, resulting in the same visual representation despite the differences in absolute scale.
🔹Supertrend Settings
ATR Length: is the lookback length for the ATR calculation.
Factor: is what the ATR is multiplied by to offset the bands from price.
Color: color customization option.
🔹Moving Average Settings

Set your chart timeframe to the timeframe you wish to alert on. For example, to create an alert when a 4h candlestick closes, set your chart to the "4h" timeframe.
Hover over the "Alert on Candle Close" indicator which has been added to your chart and click the ellipsis "..." icon, then click "Add alert on Alert on Candle Close" or use the keyboard shortcut "Alt+A" from the chart.
In the alert pop-up window, make sure "Condition" is set to "Alert on Candle Close" and "Trigger" is set to "Once Per Bar".
Optionally, you can set a custom expiry for the alert, give the alert a name and customise the alert message. You can configure notification settings from the "Notifications" tab.
Click "Create" and your alert is set up!
Each alert is tied to the timeframe and chart it was created on, so you can change the timeframe or asset and create more alerts by repeating the above process.
Note : this indicator is only designed to work with time-based chart types, such as Bars, Candles or Heikin Ashi. It will not work for non-time charts such as Renko.
FAQs
Why do my alerts sometimes not fire as soon as the candle closes?
This is a limitation with Pine Script's execution model. Indicators are calculated whenever a price or volume change occurs i.e. when a new trade happens. For illiquid or slow moving markets, there may be some time between when a candle closes and the next trade, leading to a delay in the alert triggering. The alert will trigger on the next tick of data on the chart.
Why can't I create more alerts?
TradingView has a limit on the number of active technical alerts you can have based on your membership tier. To configure more alerts, consider upgrading your TradingView plan to a higher tier. See a comparison of TradingView plans at www.tradingview.com
My alert only fired once, how can I get it to keep working?
When configuring the alert in the alert pop-up window, make sure you set "Trigger" to "Once Per Bar" and "Expiration" to "Open-ended alert".
Bull Bear Power VoidThere are a million oscillators out there based on volume. My biggest problem with them is that they simply tell you whether you have volume to the upside or volume to the down side. it's kind of tricks you with the lack of information into thinking you have a change in your trend or that you're going to be able to break out of a range across a moving average or through some trend line or support and resistance.
However many of these Oscillators are failing because they lacked to tell you one key thing. they tell you that you have volume but they never tell you if it's enough volume.
Even a popular indicator like the MACD can have its MACD Line crossing upwards over the signal, telling you that you have an uptrend but again it's still failing to give you the results of how much volume you have and is it enough volume in that crossover. It boils down to the one key fact that with out volume there is no momentum. This should be able to make trading crossovers a lot easier.
So in today's video I'm going to show you the newest addition to the trading View Community Scripts and it is called,
"The Bull Bear Void Volume Oscillator"
From my own testing, this oscillator can predict weather the next candle will get you the move you need or not.
In the markets you cannot have anything good without volume. after you have volume you have momentum. you cannot have momentum without volume and this is the key thing that causes people to fail when they look for breakouts, trend reversals, or if they're wondering whether this move is a fake out.
This indicator is based on the study volume spread analysis or VSA.
This indicator is designed to be paired perfectly with the Heiken Ashi Algo oscillator.
www.INSERTA-LINK-HERE.com
This indicator is strictly to be used as a confirmation indicator and not to be used by itself to tell you when to buy or sell.
what are its parts.
The void
is a bullish and bearish Cloud that appear extending from the center of words and the center down words. This is the average range of volume. anything that appears to close inside of this void is usually a ranging volume and it is not enough to break the trend or break out.
The MACD and MACD Signal Line
Just like using the macd these two lines indicate whether the trend is moving up for the trend is moving down
The Colored Columns
RED Column - Indicates volume movie downward
Light Red - indicates volume is pulling back from a downward move
Green - indicates volume is moving upwards
Light Green - indicates volume is moving down from an outboard move
Rules for a SELL CONFIRMATION TRADE
The macd line must be underneath the signal line and the macd line must be below the midline.
A bullish column must appear below the midline and it must extend outside of the red void.
if you are using the heikin-ashi Aldo oscillator you must also have a red heiken Ashi candle close below -10.
To do a by trade you simply reverse the rules.
Fourier Extrapolation of Variety Moving Averages [Loxx]Fourier Extrapolation of Variety Moving Averages is a Fourier Extrapolation (forecasting) indicator that has for inputs 38 different types of moving averages along with 33 different types of sources for those moving averages. This is a forecasting indicator of the selected moving average of the selected price of the underlying ticker. This indicator will repaint, so past signals are only as valid as the current bar. This indicator allows for up to 1500 bars between past bars and future projection bars. If the indicator won't load on your chart. check the error message for details on how to fix that, but you must ensure that past bars + futures bars is equal to or less than 1500.
Fourier Extrapolation using the Quinn-Fernandes algorithm is one of several (5-10) methods of signals forecasting that I'l be demonstrating in Pine Script.
What is Fourier Extrapolation?
This indicator uses a multi-harmonic (or multi-tone) trigonometric model of a price series xi, i=1..n, is given by:
xi = m + Sum( a*Cos(w*i) + b*Sin(w*i), h=1..H )
Where:
xi - past price at i-th bar, total n past prices;
m - bias;
a and b - scaling coefficients of harmonics;
w - frequency of a harmonic ;
h - harmonic number;
H - total number of fitted harmonics.
Fitting this model means finding m, a, b, and w that make the modeled values to be close to real values. Finding the harmonic frequencies w is the most difficult part of fitting a trigonometric model. In the case of a Fourier series, these frequencies are set at 2*pi*h/n. But, the Fourier series extrapolation means simply repeating the n past prices into the future.
This indicator uses the Quinn-Fernandes algorithm to find the harmonic frequencies. It fits harmonics of the trigonometric series one by one until the specified total number of harmonics H is reached. After fitting a new harmonic , the coded algorithm computes the residue between the updated model and the real values and fits a new harmonic to the residue.
see here: A Fast Efficient Technique for the Estimation of Frequency , B. G. Quinn and J. M. Fernandes, Biometrika, Vol. 78, No. 3 (Sep., 1991), pp . 489-497 (9 pages) Published By: Oxford University Press
The indicator has the following input parameters:
src - input source
npast - number of past bars, to which trigonometric series is fitted;
Nfut - number of predicted future bars;
nharm - total number of harmonics in model;
frqtol - tolerance of frequency calculations.

Heiken Ashi Smoothed Net VolumeThis indicator attempts to use Heiken Ashi calculations to smooth the Volume net histogram indicator by RafaelZioni. Long above zero line, short below zero line.
Modified Smoothed Heiken AshiThis code is based on Smoothed HA candle which will work on all chart types
condition for BUY:
1. When close crosses Smoothed HA
2.Close should be in side upper band
3.BBW must be greater than the average
vice versa for sell
this code takes data from HA chart so that it can be applied on all chart type.
Bollinger band and Bollinger band width conditions added for removal of unwanted signals
Alert added so that you can apply alert and check it in real time performance
thanks to The Secret Mindset You tube channel from where I got the idea to convert this into a pine script indicator

MrBS:Directional Movement Index [Trend Friend]I started this project with the goal of making a DMI/ADX that was easy to read at a glance. Its since become a little more then just colouring the slopes. The majority of the time, the best returns come from trending markets (THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND... until the end) and I hope this helps people become good friends with the trends.
----- Features
- A function to change the values used for calculation from real OHLC and Heikin Ashi. This allows us to look at different chart types but see the specific ADX we choose. Originally HA values were used for calculation since it is easier to see trend on HA charts. However when testing it was not as effective as the ADX calculated from the real values on normal charts. So the default function was flipped and real OHLC values are used as default.
- Two ADX plots so we can see two different smoothness's. With a smoothing of 2, a slight slow down in PA can cause a negative slope but the smoother ADX will stay trending unless its a major change. 2nd ADX is slightly transparent.
- There is an EMA of the main ADX that can be used as a exit signal filter. If the ADX starts going down but has not crossed the EMA we would stay in a trade.
- Plots (excluding EMA) are coloured based on positive or negative slopes.
- Fibonacci numbers have been used to create different trend levels, instead of the standard 25, 50, 100.
- Alerts for every useful situation to help save time and not have to manually enter levels or crosses each time.
- In the code there are 8 EMAs and 3 ADXs but it was too much so they have been slashed out, but are fully functional if you choose to activate and use them. To reactivate the 3rd ADX delete slashes on lines 50, 65, 78, 92-95, 165. The slashed out EMAs are much more obvious and easy to reactivate.
Colours:
ADX going up = Green
ADX going down = Red
DMI+ going up = Bright Aqua
DMI+ going down = Turquoise / Dark Aqua
DMI- going up = Bright Purple
DMI- going down = Dark Purple
EMA = White (50% transparent)
If there is anything that would be useful, let me know and I will add it in. I've already got some improvements/changes planned and some of my notes can be found in the code.
There is also a strategy to go with this indicator that will be uploaded very soon.

Pivot Points with MID LevelsThis indicator shows the Standard Pivot Points level based on daily values that can act as support and resistance. It is used by a variety of traders around the world. You can select which time frame Pivot Point Levels you'd like. Daily, weekly etc... Perfect for swing trading or day trading.
Pivot Points- Shows 3 levels of resistance, the Pivot Point and 3 levels of support
(R3, R2, R1, PIVOT POINT, S1, S2, S3
MID Levels- The MID levels are 50% retracement from the pivot point level above it and below
Example- R3, MID, R2, MID, R1, MID, PIVOT POINT, MID, S1, MID, S2, MID, S3
With this indicator you will also have the option to show the Previous days High and Low that are also important levels. On gap up/down days it is always interesting to see if price will close the gap, hence the important level to note.
PDH= Previous Days High
PDL= Previous Days Low
I have added a feature that you can now select specific color to each level and the line style for each level to help understand which levels are being show by personal needs.

Heinkin-Ashi Shadow Candles// Public Domain
// By JollyWizard
// For overlaying Heikin Ashi candles over basic charts, or for use in it's own panel as an oscillator.
// Enjoy the visual cues of HA candles, without giving up price action awareness.
// Good for learning and comparison.
BarbwireThis indicator looks for where market momentum is waning.
It uses Heikin-Ahi for that.
Heikin-Ashi averages the Open and Close prices, so the entity is not compressed as often as candles.
Using this characteristic, the continued compression of the entity is indicated as a decline in the market.
Settings:
Period - The degree of compression is calculated as a stochastic-like percentage. Specify the period to be used for the calculation.
Level (%) - If it is smaller than this number, it is assumed to be compressed.
Minimum period - The agreement shall be valid if it has been continued for at least this period.
MACD Trend CandlesThe script combines 2 indicators (MACD and Stoch-RSI) and puts them visually directly on the candles - can be used with normal OHLC candles or Heiken Ashi candles. Furthermore, you can derive divergences exremely easy directly visually from the candles as well. Lastly, a SMA 20 high and a SMA 20 low line build a trend channel.
Script is best used in trending markets to trade with the trend.
1) SMA trend channel:
* uptrend: close above
* downtrend: close below
* aggressive entry (uptrend) closing inside channel from below
* conservative entry (uptrend) closing above channel from inside
* hold (uptrend) until close below channel
* can be used accordingly for the downtrend
2) MACD candles
* visualization of the MACD histogram directly on the candles
* dark blue: histogram > 0 and histogram > histogram of previous candle
* light blue: histogram > 0 and histogram < histogram of previous candle
* orange: histogram < 0 and histogram < histogram of previous candle
* light blue: histogram < 0 and histogram > histogram of previous candle
* hold uptrend (dark/light blue candles) - combined with trend channel (above channel)
* hold downtrend (orange /yellow candles) - combined with trend channel (below channel)
* Color divergence: light blue candle > dark blue candle (price and MACD show divergence (bearish)
* Color divergence: yellow candle < orange candle (price and MACD show divergence (bullish)
* Trend change (0 line cross to upside) yellow or orange to dark blue
* Trend change (0 line cross to downside) dark or light blue to orange
3) Stoch RSI diamonds
* visualization of the STOCH-RSI as diamonds above or below the candle
* k, d line > 80: diamond above the candle
* k, d line < 20: diamond below the candle
* divergence caldle without diamond above > candle with diamond above (bearish divergence)
* divergence caldle without diamond below < candle with diamond below (bullish divergence)
Feel free to test each part individually and combine it with other indicators, e.g. BBands and Ichimoku Cloud - you will see it is a powerful visualization script

Colored Klinger Volume Oscillator (CKVO)This is a color enhanced version of Klinger Volume Oscillator. I specially designed this to get maximum profit from highly volatile coins. This indicator is based on volume.
xTrigger (the line) shows if trend is bullish or bearish. It is the average of the area. You can clearly see the trend.
xKVO (the area) shows how buy and sell orders change. It rises while buys are increasing against sells, decreases while sells are increasing against buys.
The color or the area provides buy and sell signals. Green: buy. Red: sell. Gray: Undecided.
Of course there are false signals. You should use other indicators to confirm them.
I like to use RSI and Bollinger Bands along with it to eliminate false signals. Also check for double bottom and top, etc.
Its wise to check the general direction of coin using a bigger time frame using Heikin Aishi. For example 1W Heikin Ashi if you are trading on 1D.
In addition to buy signals the most important indication is divergence with the price. Before a trend change 2 kinds of divergences happen
- Trend line moves reverse to the price line
- Are a tops moves revers to the price tops. For example while there is a higher price top, there is a lower area top. Then its time to escape.
Motivation
It is common to suffer from failures while trading highly profitable but volatile coins like NULLS, REP, DLT, LRC, MFT, HOT, OAX, KEY, etc.
- Traders sell too early to ensure a profit. Sell at 10% and it goes 200%
- Traders buy too early. Traders buy and it drops yet another 50%
- Wrong patience. The trader keeps the faith and waits for days for the glorious days. And nothing happens.
I believe with this indicator I am able to solve those problems most of the time.
mcbw_RSI_candlesAn RSI can have any input, but most commonly used is the closing price. I thought it would be interesting to see if feeding the open high low and close information into the RSI to make RSI candles, if there are candlestick formations that can be recognized or possible patters in wicks.
To make it smoother there also is the option to turn the RSI candles into Heiken Ashi form, just check the box labeled HA. The result is an RSI that is easier on the eyes.
Happy trading!
Remember to not take everything too seriously
[RS]Heiken Ashi Cloud V2V2: switched hardcoded timeframes and place were bulls and bears take controll
MACD HTF Hardcoded (A/B Presets) + Regimes [CHE] MACD HTF Hardcoded (A/B Presets) + Regimes — Higher-timeframe MACD emulation with acceptance-based regime filter and on-chart diagnostics
Summary
This indicator emulates a higher-timeframe MACD directly on the current chart using two hardcoded preset families and a time-bucket mapping, avoiding cross-timeframe requests. It classifies four MACD regimes and applies an acceptance filter that requires several consecutive bars before a state is considered valid. A small dead-band around zero reduces noise near the axis. An on-chart table reports the active preset, the inferred time bucket, the resolved lengths, and the current regime.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: false
Primary outputs: MACD line, Signal line, Histogram columns, zero line, regime-change alert, info table
Motivation: Why this design?
Cross-timeframe indicators often rely on external timeframe requests, which can introduce repaint paths and added latency. This design provides a deterministic alternative: it maps the current chart’s timeframe to coarse higher-timeframe buckets and uses fixed EMA lengths that approximate those views. The dead-band suppresses flip-flops around zero, and the acceptance counter reduces whipsaw by requiring sustained agreement across bars before acknowledging a regime.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Classical MACD with user-selected lengths on the same timeframe, or higher-timeframe MACD via cross-timeframe requests.
Architecture differences:
Hardcoded A and B length families with a bucket map derived from the chart timeframe.
No `request.security`; all calculations occur on the current series.
Regime classification from MACD and Histogram sign, gated by an acceptance count and a small zero dead-band.
Diagnostics table for transparency.
Practical effect: The MACD behaves like a slower, higher-timeframe variant without external requests. Regimes switch less often due to the dead-band and acceptance logic, which can improve stability in choppy sessions.
How it works (technical)
The script derives a coarse bucket from the chart timeframe using `timeframe.in_seconds` and maps it to preset-specific EMA lengths. EMAs of the source build MACD and Signal; their difference is the Histogram. Signs of MACD and Histogram define four regimes: strong bull, weak bull, strong bear, and weak bear. A small, user-defined band around zero treats values near the axis as neutral. An acceptance counter checks whether the same regime persisted for a given number of consecutive bars before it is emitted as the filtered regime. A single alert condition fires when the filtered regime changes. The histogram columns change shade based on position relative to zero and whether they are rising or falling. A persistent table object shows preset, bucket tag, resolved lengths, and the filtered regime. No cross-timeframe requests are used, so repaint risk is limited to normal live-bar movement; values stabilize on close.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for MACD — Default: Close — Using a smoother source increases stability but adds lag.
Preset — A or B length family — Default: “3,10,16” — Switch to “12,26,9” for the classic family mapped to buckets.
Table Position — Anchor for the info table — Default: Top right — Choose a corner that avoids covering price action.
Table Size — Table text size — Default: Normal — Use small on dense charts, large for presentations.
Dark Mode — Table theme — Default: Enabled — Match your chart background for readability.
Show Table — Toggle diagnostics table — Default: Enabled — Disable for a cleaner pane.
Zero dead-band (epsilon) — Noise gate around zero — Default: Zero — Increase slightly when you see frequent flips near zero.
Acceptance bars (n) — Bars required to confirm a regime — Default: Three — Raise to reduce whipsaw; lower to react faster.
Reading & Interpretation
Histogram columns: Above zero indicates bullish pressure; below zero indicates bearish pressure. Darker shade implies the histogram increased compared with the prior bar; lighter shade implies it decreased.
MACD vs. Signal lines: The spread corresponds to histogram height.
Regimes:
Strong bull: MACD above zero and Histogram above zero.
Weak bull: MACD above zero and Histogram below zero.
Strong bear: MACD below zero and Histogram below zero.
Weak bear: MACD below zero and Histogram above zero.
Table: Inspect active preset, bucket tag, resolved lengths, and the filtered regime number with its description.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use strong bull to favor long exposure and strong bear to favor short exposure. Use weak states as pullback or transition context. Combine with structure tools such as swing highs and lows or a baseline moving average for confirmation.
Exits and risk: In strong trends, consider exiting partial size on a regime downgrade to a weak state. In choppy sessions, increase the acceptance bars to reduce churn.
Multi-asset / Multi-timeframe: Works on time-based charts across liquid futures, indices, currencies, and large-cap equities. Bucket mapping helps retain a consistent feel when moving from lower to higher timeframes.

Repaint/confirmation: No cross-timeframe requests; values can evolve intrabar and settle on close. Alerts follow your TradingView alert timing settings.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is set to five thousand. Very large resolved lengths require sufficient history to seed EMAs; expect a warm-up period on first load or after switching symbols.
Known limits: Dead-band and acceptance can delay recognition at sharp turns. Extremely thin markets or large gaps may still cause brief regime reversals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with preset “3,10,16”, dead-band near zero, and acceptance of three bars.
Too many flips near zero: increase the dead-band slightly or raise the acceptance bars.
Too sluggish in clean trends: reduce the acceptance bars by one.
Too sensitive on fast lower timeframes: switch to the “12,26,9” preset family or raise the acceptance bars.
Want less clutter: hide the table and keep the alert.

Quantum Fluxtrend [CHE] Quantum Fluxtrend — A dynamic Supertrend variant with integrated breakout event tracking and VWAP-guided risk management for clearer trend decisions.
Summary
The Quantum Fluxtrend builds on traditional Supertrend logic by incorporating a midline derived from smoothed high and low values, creating adaptive bands that respond to market range expansion or contraction. This results in fewer erratic signals during volatile periods and smoother tracking in steady trends, while an overlaid event system highlights breakout confirmations, potential traps, or continuations with visual lines, labels, and percentage deltas from the close. Users benefit from real-time VWAP calculations anchored to events, providing dynamic stop-loss suggestions to help manage exits without manual adjustments. Overall, it layers signal robustness with actionable annotations, reducing noise in fast-moving charts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard Supertrend indicators often generate excessive flips in choppy conditions or lag behind in low-volatility drifts, leading to whipsaws that erode confidence in trend direction. This design addresses that by centering bands around a midline that reflects recent price spreads, ensuring adjustments are proportional to observed variability. The added event layer captures regime shifts explicitly, turning abstract crossovers into labeled milestones with trailing VWAP for context, which helps traders distinguish genuine momentum from fleeting noise without over-relying on raw price action.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Diverges from the classic Supertrend, which uses average true range for fixed offsets from a median price.
- Architecture differences:
- Bands form around a central line averaged from smoothed highs and lows, with offsets scaled by half the range between those smooths.
- Regime direction persists until a clear breach of the prior opposite band, preventing premature reversals.
- Event visualization draws persistent lines from flip points, updating labels based on price sustainment relative to the trigger level.
- VWAP resets at each event, accumulating volume-weighted prices forward for a trailing reference.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer direction changes overall, with color-coded annotations that evolve from initial breakout to continuation or trap status, making it easier to spot sustained moves early. VWAP lines provide a volume-informed anchor that curves with price, offering visual cues for adverse drifts.
How it works (technical)
The process starts by smoothing high and low prices over a user-defined period to form upper and lower references. A midline sits midway between them, and half the spread acts as a base for band offsets, adjusted by a multiplier to widen or narrow sensitivity. On each bar, the close is checked against the previous bar's opposite band: crossing above expands the lower band downward in uptrends, or below contracts the upper band upward in downtrends, creating a ratcheting effect that locks in direction until breached.
Persistent state tracks the current regime, seeding initial bands from the smoothed values if no prior data exists. Flips trigger new horizontal lines at the breach level, styled by direction, alongside labels that monitor sustainment—price holding above for up-flips or below for down-flips keeps the regime, while reversal flags a trap.
Separately, at each flip, a dashed VWAP line initializes at the breach price and extends forward, accumulating the product of typical prices and volumes divided by total volume. This yields a curving reference that updates bar-by-bar. Warnings activate if price strays adversely from this VWAP, tinting the background for quick alerts.
No higher timeframe data is pulled, so all computations run on the chart's native resolution, avoiding lookahead biases unless repainting is enabled via input.
Parameter Guide
SMA Length — Controls smoothing of highs and lows for midline and range base; longer values dampen noise but increase lag. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Shortens responsiveness in trends (e.g., 10–14) but risks more flips; extend to 30+ for stability in ranging markets.
Multiplier — Scales band offsets from the half-range; higher amplifies to capture bigger swings. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs: Above 1.5 widens for volatile assets, reducing false signals; below 0.8 tightens for precision but may miss subtle shifts.
Show Bands — Toggles visibility of basic and adjusted band lines for reference. Default: false. Tip: Enable briefly to verify alignment with price action.
Show Background Color — Displays red tint on VWAP adverse crosses for visual warnings. Default: false. Trade-offs: Helps in live monitoring but can clutter clean charts.
Line Width — Sets thickness for event and VWAP lines. Default: 2. Tip: Thicker (3–5) for emphasis on key levels.
+Bars after next event — Extends old lines briefly before cleanup on new flips. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Longer preserves history (40+) at resource cost; shorter keeps charts tidy.
Allow Repainting — Permits live-bar updates for smoother real-time view. Default: false. Tip: Disable for backtest accuracy.
Extension 1 Settings (Show, Width, Size, Decimals, Colors, Alpha) — Manages dotted connector from event label to current close, showing percentage change. Defaults: Shown, width 2, normal size, 2 decimals, lime/red for gains/losses, gray line, 90% transparent background. Trade-offs: Fewer decimals for clean display; adjust alpha for readability.
Extension 2 Settings (Show, Method, Stop %, Ticks, Decimals, Size, Color, Inherit, Alpha) — Positions stop label at VWAP end, offset by percent or ticks. Defaults: Shown, percent method, 1.0%, 20 ticks, 4 decimals, normal size, white text, inherit tint, 0% alpha. Trade-offs: Percent for proportional risk; ticks for fixed distance in tick-based assets.
Alert Toggles — Enables notifications for breakouts, continuations, traps, or VWAP warnings. All default: true. Tip: Layer with chart alerts for multi-condition setups.
Reading & Interpretation
The main Supertrend line colors green for up-regimes (price above lower band) and red for down (below upper band), serving as a dynamic support/resistance trail. Flip shapes (up/down triangles) mark regime changes at band breaches.
Event lines extend horizontally from flips: green for bull, red for bear. Labels start blank and update to "Bull/Bear Cont." if price sustains the direction, or "Trap" if it reverses, with colors shifting lime/red/gray accordingly. A dotted vertical links the trailing label to the current close, mid-labeled with the percentage delta (positive green, negative red).
VWAP dashes yellow (bull) or orange (bear) from the event, curving to reflect volume-weighted average. At its end, a left-aligned label shows suggested stop price, annotated with offset details. Background red hints at weakening if price crosses VWAP opposite the regime.
Deltas near zero suggest consolidation; widening extremes signal momentum buildup or exhaustion.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green flip shapes confirmed by higher highs, using the event line as initial stop below. Trail stops to VWAP for bull runs, exiting on trap labels or red background warnings. Filter with volume spikes to avoid low-conviction breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative: Set hard stops at suggested SL labels. Aggressive: Hold through minor traps if delta stays positive, but cut on regime flip. Pair with momentum oscillators for overbought pullbacks.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m–4H; for crypto, bump multiplier to 1.5 for volatility. Scale SMA length proportionally across timeframes (e.g., double for daily). Combine with structure tools like Fibonacci for confluence on event lines.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Live bars update lines and labels dynamically if repainting is allowed, but signals confirm on close for stability—flips only trigger post-bar. No higher timeframe calls, so no inherent lookahead, though volume weighting assumes continuous data.
Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels max; events prune old ones on new flips to stay under budget, with brief extensions for visibility. Arrays or loops absent, keeping it lightweight.
Known limits include lag in extreme gaps (e.g., overnight opens) where bands may not adjust instantly, and VWAP sensitivity to sparse volume in illiquid sessions.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with SMA 20, multiplier 1.0 for balanced response across majors. For choppy pairs: Lengthen SMA to 30, multiplier 0.8 to tighten bands and cut flips. For trending equities: Shorten to 14, multiplier 1.2 for quicker entries. If traps dominate, enable bands to inspect range compression; for sluggish signals, reduce extension bars to focus on recent events.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This serves as a visualization and signal layer for trend regimes and breakouts, highlighting sustainment via annotations and risk cues through VWAP—ideal atop price action for confirmation. It is not a standalone system, predictive oracle, or risk calculator; always integrate with broader analysis, position sizing, and stops. Use responsibly as an educational tool.

TFRSI & RSI Analog Dial [CHE] TFRSI & RSI Analog Dial — Interactive analog visualization for TFRSI or RSI with gradient zones, radial markers, and a trailing hand pointer.
Summary
This indicator renders an interactive analog dial for either TFRSI or standard RSI, providing a visual gauge with gradient-filled zones for oversold, neutral, and overbought regions. The hand pointer tracks the current value, with optional trailing dots at recent positions to show momentum direction. Radial lines mark key thresholds, and a digital readout displays the exact value. This design enhances readability over linear plots by leveraging familiar clock-like intuition, reducing cognitive load during quick scans. Signals are robust due to clamping to safe bounds and mode-specific scaling, ensuring consistent display across different volatility regimes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traditional linear RSI or momentum indicators often feel abstract, especially in fast-paced screening where users scan multiple assets. Sharp swings can make thresholds hard to gauge at a glance, leading to missed nuances in overbought or oversold conditions. This dial addresses that by mapping values to a curved scale with color gradients, making extremes visually pop while the hand's trail hints at recent path without cluttering the chart. The dual-mode support allows seamless switching between advanced momentum (TFRSI) and classic RSI, fitting diverse strategies without reloading scripts.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Diverges from linear plotlines like the built-in RSI oscillator, which stacks values vertically and relies on horizontal lines for thresholds.
- Architecture differences:
- Curved projection with perspective tilt for depth illusion, using polyline arcs instead of straight plots.
- Mode-aware clamping and scaling to handle TFRSI's extended range versus RSI's standard bounds.
- Persistent trail array for hand history, capped at three points to avoid performance drag.
- Gradient segmentation for smooth zone transitions, rendered via multiple thin polylines.
- Practical effect: Charts show a compact, rotatable dial that fits in pane corners, with colors intuitively signaling bias (lime for buy zones, red for sell). The trail adds qualitative flow without numerical overload, helping spot divergences faster than static bars.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the selected metric: for TFRSI, it processes price accelerations through a multi-step filter involving differencing, exponential damping, and normalization to a centered scale; for RSI, it uses the standard gain-loss ratio over the specified period. The value is then clamped between mode-specific minimum and maximum bounds to prevent display overflow.
This clamped value drives the hand angle on a 300-degree arc, projected from a 3D-like model rotated for perspective. Arcs for zones are built as segmented polylines, with colors interpolated linearly across the gradient. Key levels are drawn as radial lines from inner to outer radius, colored by zone. The trail maintains up to three prior angles in an array, updated only on confirmed bars to avoid repainting, and rendered as sized dots fading from small to large.
Initialization seeds filter states to zero on first bar, with persistent variables holding smoothing history. Data flows from price to metric computation, clamping, angle mapping, and projection—all executed globally on the last bar for redraw efficiency.
Parameter Guide
Mode — Switches between TFRSI (extended momentum gauge) and RSI (classic oscillator); affects bounds, zones, and labels. Default: "TFRSI". Trade-offs: TFRSI adds sensitivity to accelerations but may amplify noise; RSI is more stable for trend confirmation.
Dial Size — Sets radius in pixels, scaling all elements proportionally. Default: 200. Bounds: 50–500. Tips: Larger for detailed views, smaller for multi-pane layouts; auto-scales hand length to match.
Dial Vertical Offset — Shifts entire dial up/down in pixels. Default: 0. Bounds: -200–200. Trade-offs: Negative pulls toward price action; positive spaces below—use to avoid overlap.
Camera Angle — Tilts view from top-down (0) to side (90) for 3D effect. Default: 45. Bounds: 0–90. Tips: Steeper angles emphasize depth but compress horizontally; flat for precision.
Resolution — Polygon sides for smooth arcs. Default: 64. Bounds: 4–64. Trade-offs: Higher reduces jaggedness but increases draw calls—balance with pane zoom.
TFRSI Hand Length — Base pointer length at 200px dial, auto-scaled. Default: 170. Bounds: 10–200. Tips: Longer for emphasis in large dials; shorter avoids edge clipping.
Show TFRSI Hand — Toggles pointer visibility. Default: true. Trade-offs: Off for clean zones only; on for value tracking.
Show Hand Trail Dots — Displays 3 fading dots at recent tips. Default: true. Trade-offs: Adds motion context but may clutter static views—disable in alerts.
TFRSI Hand Color — Pointer hue, used for trail dots too. Default: 7E57C2. Tips: Match strategy theme; gradients auto-blend to zones.
Dial Base Color — Arc outline/fill tint. Default: blue. Trade-offs: Opaque for contrast; transparent blends with background.
Neutral Color (50) — Mid-zone shade. Default: gray. Tips: Neutral tones reduce bias in balanced markets.
Oversold Color — Low-zone fill. Default: lime. Trade-offs: Bright for alerts; muted for subtlety.
Overbought Color — High-zone fill. Default: red. Trade-offs: As above—pair with hand blending.
Label Size — Text scaling for thresholds. Default: "normal". Options: tiny/small/normal/large/huge. Tips: Smaller for dense charts; larger for presentations.
Digital TFRSI Size — Readout font. Default: "large". Options: as above. Trade-offs: Balances visibility without dominating dial.
Digital Vertical Offset — Readout position shift. Default: -50. Bounds: -200–200. Tips: Negative centers above dial; adjust for multi-indicators.
TFRSI Length — Core lookback for accelerations. Default: 6. Min: 1. Trade-offs: Shorter heightens reactivity, risks whipsaws; longer smooths extremes.
TFRSI Trigger Length — Final smoothing passes. Default: 2. Min: 1. Tips: Increase for fewer false crosses; decrease for quicker pivots.
RSI Length — Period for gain-loss averaging. Default: 14. Min: 1. Trade-offs: Classic 14 balances; shorter for scalps, longer for swings.
Reading & Interpretation
The dial arcs sweep from overbought (right, red) through neutral (top, gray) to oversold (left, lime), with the hand pointing to the current value—clockwise for rising, counterclockwise for falling. Trail dots grow larger toward the present, colored to match hand zones, indicating recent direction without numbers. Threshold lines thicken at center (50) for quick zeroing; labels confirm levels. Digital readout below shows precise value prefixed by mode. Hand color gradients from neutral to extremes signal building pressure verbally: deepening red warns of potential pullbacks, brightening lime suggests bounces.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter long when hand crosses above 50 from oversold trail; confirm with higher highs in price structure. Filter shorts below 50 in downtrends using volume spikes.
Exits/Stops: Trail stops to recent dot positions in overbought; tighten on red gradients exceeding thresholds. Conservative: Exit at neutral; aggressive: Hold to extremes if trail aligns with momentum.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; for crypto, shorten lengths by 20% for volatility. Stack with HTF security calls (e.g., daily mode on 15m chart) for confluence—watch for alignment across dials.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar updates ensure no repainting; live bars show provisional hand/trail, confirmed on close. No security or HTF calls, so zero lookahead bias. Resources: Caps at 500 lines/labels/polylines, rebuilds only on last bar; max_bars_back=2000 handles history without lag. Known limits: Trail may stutter in flat markets; gradients approximate smooth fills via segments, visible at low resolution.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with TFRSI mode, length=6, trigger=2 for responsive momentum on daily charts. Too choppy? Bump trigger to 4 for stability. Lagging entries? Drop length to 4, watch for overreactions. For RSI trend filter, set length=21; combine with MA cross for entries when dial nears 30/70.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization layer for momentum gauges, aiding quick bias assessment and threshold spotting. Pair it with price action, volume, and risk rules for decisions. It’s not a standalone signal generator or predictive tool—values reflect past data, prone to whipsaws in ranging conditions.

3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions [CHE] 3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions — Projects a perspective clock face onto the chart to display current time and market session periods for enhanced situational awareness during trading hours.
Summary
This indicator renders a three-dimensional clock projection directly on the price chart, showing analog hands for hours, minutes, and seconds alongside a digital time readout. It overlays session arcs for major markets like New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney, highlighting the active one with thicker lines and contrasting labels. By centralizing time and session visibility, it reduces the need to reference external clocks, allowing traders to maintain focus on price action while noting overlaps or transitions that influence volatility.
The design uses perspective projection to simulate depth, making the clock appear tilted for better readability on varying chart scales. Sessions are positioned radially outward from the main clock, with the current time marker pulsing on the relevant arc. This setup provides a static yet live-updating view, confirmed on bar close to avoid intrabar shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often miss subtle session shifts amid fast-moving charts, leading to entries during low-liquidity periods or exits before peak activity. Standard chart tools lack integrated time visualization, forcing constant tab-switching. This indicator addresses that by embedding a customizable clock with session rings, ensuring time context is always in view without disrupting workflow.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional session highlighters use simple background fills or vertical lines, which clutter the chart and ignore global time zones.
- Architecture differences:
- Perspective projection rotates and scales points to mimic 3D depth, unlike flat 2D drawings.
- Nested radial arcs for sessions, with dynamic radius assignment to avoid overlap.
- Live time calculation adjusted for user-selected time zones, including optional daylight savings offset.
- Practical effect: The tilted view prevents labels from bunching at chart edges, and active session emphasis draws the eye to liquidity hotspots, making multi-session overlaps immediately apparent for better timing.
How it works (technical)
The indicator calculates current time in the selected time zone by adjusting the system timestamp with a fixed offset, plus an optional one-hour bump for daylight savings. This yields hour, minute, and second values that drive hand positions: the hour hand advances slowly with fractional minute input, the minute hand ticks per 60 seconds, and the second hand sweeps fully each minute.
Points for the clock face and arcs are generated as arrays of coordinates, transformed via rotation around the x-axis to apply tilt, then projected onto chart space using a scaling factor based on depth. Radial lines mark every hour from zero to 23, extending to the outermost session ring. Session arcs span user-defined hour ranges, drawn as open polylines with step interpolation for smoothness.
On the last bar, all prior drawings are cleared, and new elements are added: filled clock circles, hand lines from center to tip, a small orbiting circle at the current time position, and centered labels for hours, sessions, and time. The active session is identified by checking if the current time falls within its range, then its arc thickens and label inverts colors. Initialization populates a timezone array once, with persistent bar time tracking for horizontal positioning.
Parameter Guide
Clock Size — Controls overall radius in pixels, affecting visibility on dense charts — Default: 200 — Larger values suit wide screens but may crowd small views; start smaller for mobile.
Camera Angle — Sets tilt from top-down (zero) to side (90 degrees), altering projection depth — Default: 45 — Steeper angles enhance readability on sloped trends but flatten at extremes.
Resolution — Defines polygon sides for circles and arcs, balancing smoothness and draw calls — Default: 64 — Higher improves curves on large clocks; lower aids performance on slow devices.
Hour/Minute/Second Hand Length — Scales each hand from center, with seconds longest for precision — Defaults: 100/150/180 — Proportional sizing prevents overlap; shorten for compact layouts.
Clock Base Color — Tints face and frame — Default: blue — Neutral shades reduce eye strain; match chart theme.
Hand Colors — Assigns distinct hues to each hand — Defaults: red/green/yellow — High contrast aids quick scans; avoid chart-matching to stand out.
Hour Label Size — Text scale for 1-12 markers — Default: normal — Larger for distant views, but risks clutter.
Digital Time Size — Scale for HH:MM:SS readout — Default: large — Matches clock for balance; tiny for minimalism.
Digital Time Vertical Offset — Shifts readout up (negative) or down — Default: -50 — Positions above clock to avoid hand interference.
Timezone — Selects reference city/offset — Default: New York (UTC-05) — Matches trading locale; verify offsets manually.
Summer Time (DST) — Adds one hour if active — Default: false — Enable for regions observing it; test transitions.
Show/Label/Session/Color for Each Market — Toggles arc, sets name, time window, and hue per session (New York/London/Tokyo/Sydney) — Defaults: true/"New York"/1300-2200/orange, etc. — Customize windows to local exchange hours; colors differentiate overlaps.
Reading & Interpretation
The analog face shows a blue-tinted circle with white 1-12 labels and gray hour ticks; hands extend from center in assigned colors, pointing to current positions. A white dot with orbiting ring marks exact time on the session arc. Digital readout below displays padded HH:MM:SS in white on black.
Active sessions glow with bold arcs and white labels on colored backgrounds; inactive ones use thin lines and colored text on light fills. Overlaps stack outward, with the innermost (New York) closest to the clock. If no session is active, the marker sits on the base ring.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs during London-New York overlap (thicker dual arcs) confirmed by higher highs; filter with volume spikes.
- Exits/Stops: Tighten stops pre-Tokyo open if arc thickens, signaling volatility ramp; trail during Sydney for overnight holds.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex/stocks; on higher timeframes, enlarge clock size to counter bar spacing. Pair with session volume oscillators for confirmation.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Rendering occurs only on the last bar, using confirmed history for stable display; live bars update hands and marker without repainting prior elements. No security calls or higher timeframe fetches, so no lookahead bias.
Resource limits include 2000 bars back for positioning, 500 each for lines, labels, and boxes—sufficient for full sessions without overflow. Arrays hold timezone data statically. On very wide charts, projection may skew slightly due to fixed scale.
Known limits: Visual positioning drifts on extreme zooms; daylight savings assumes manual toggle, risking one-hour errors during changes.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with New York timezone, 45-degree tilt, and all sessions enabled—these balance global coverage without clutter. For too-small visibility, bump clock size to 300 and resolution to 48. If labels overlap on narrow views, reduce hand lengths proportionally. To emphasize one session (e.g., London), disable others and widen its color contrast. For minimalism, set digital size to small and offset to -100.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visual time and session overlay to contextualize trading windows, not a signal generator or predictive tool. It complements price analysis and risk rules but requires manual interpretation. Use alongside order flow or momentum indicators for decisions.
