Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.

Nef33-Volume Footprint ApproximationDescription of the "Volume Footprint Approximation" Indicator
Purpose
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in analyzing market volume dynamics and anticipating potential trend changes in price. It is inspired by the concept of a volume footprint chart, which visualizes the distribution of trading volume across different price levels. However, since TradingView does not provide detailed intrabar data for all users, this indicator approximates the behavior of a footprint chart by using available volume and price data (open, close, volume) to classify volume as buy or sell, calculate volume delta, detect imbalances, and generate trend change signals.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying areas of high buying or selling activity, imbalances between supply and demand, delta divergences, and potential reversal points in the market. It provides specific signals for bullish and bearish trend changes, making it suitable for traders looking to trade reversals or confirm trends.
How It Works
The indicator uses volume and price data from each candlestick to perform the following calculations:
Volume Classification:
Classifies the volume of each candlestick as "buy" or "sell" based on price movement:
If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is classified as "buy."
If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is classified as "sell."
If the closing price equals the opening price (close == open), it compares with the previous close to determine the direction:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, it is classified as "buy."
If the current close is lower than the previous close, it is classified as "sell."
If the current close equals the previous close, the classification from the previous bar is used.
Delta Calculation:
Calculates the volume delta as the difference between buy volume and sell volume (buyVolume - sellVolume).
A positive delta indicates more buy volume; a negative delta indicates more sell volume.
Imbalance Detection:
Identifies imbalances between buy and sell volume:
A buy imbalance occurs when buy volume exceeds sell volume by a defined percentage (default is 300%).
A sell imbalance occurs when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the same percentage.
Delta Divergence Detection:
Positive Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is falling (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is increasing or becomes positive, indicating that buyers are entering despite the price decline.
Negative Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is rising (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is decreasing or becomes negative, indicating that sellers are entering despite the price increase.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal (trendChangeBullish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a positive delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a negative value (e.g., -500) to a positive value (e.g., +200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a buy imbalance.
The price is near a historical support level (approximated as the lowest low of the last 50 bars).
Bearish Signal (trendChangeBearish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a negative delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a positive value (e.g., +500) to a negative value (e.g., -200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a sell imbalance.
The price is near a historical resistance level (approximated as the highest high of the last 50 bars).
Visual Elements
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart (overlay=false) and includes the following elements:
Volume Histograms:
Buy Volume: Represented by a green histogram. Shows the volume classified as "buy."
Sell Volume: Represented by a red histogram. Shows the volume classified as "sell."
Note: The histograms overlap, and the last plotted histogram (red) takes visual precedence, meaning the sell volume may cover the buy volume if it is larger.
Delta Line:
Delta Volume: Represented by a blue line. Shows the difference between buy and sell volume.
A line above zero indicates more buy volume; a line below zero indicates more sell volume.
A dashed gray horizontal line marks the zero level for easier interpretation.
Imbalance Backgrounds:
Buy Imbalance: Light green background when buy volume exceeds sell volume by the defined percentage.
Sell Imbalance: Light red background when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the defined percentage.
Divergence Backgrounds:
Positive Delta Divergence: Lime green background when a positive delta divergence is detected.
Negative Delta Divergence: Fuchsia background when a negative delta divergence is detected.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal: Green label with the text "Bullish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bullish trend change are met.
Bearish Signal: Red label with the text "Bearish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bearish trend change are met.
Information Labels:
Below each bar, a label displays:
Total Vol: The total volume of the bar.
Delta: The delta volume value.
Alerts
The indicator generates the following alerts:
Positive Delta Divergence: "Positive Delta Divergence Detected! Price is falling, but delta is increasing."
Negative Delta Divergence: "Negative Delta Divergence Detected! Price is rising, but delta is decreasing."
Bullish Trend Change Signal: "Bullish Trend Change Signal! Positive Delta Divergence, Delta Rise, Buy Imbalance, and Near Support."
Bearish Trend Change Signal: "Bearish Trend Change Signal! Negative Delta Divergence, Delta Drop, Sell Imbalance, and Near Resistance."
These alerts can be configured in TradingView to receive real-time notifications.
Adjustable Parameters
The indicator allows customization of the following parameters:
Imbalance Threshold (%): The percentage required to detect an imbalance between buy and sell volume (default is 300%).
Lookback Period for Divergence: Number of bars to look back for detecting price and delta trends (default is 2 bars).
Support/Resistance Lookback Period: Number of bars to look back for identifying historical support and resistance levels (default is 50 bars).
Delta High Threshold (Bearish): Minimum delta value 2 bars ago for the bearish signal (default is +500).
Delta Low Threshold (Bearish): Maximum delta value in the current bar for the bearish signal (default is -200).
Delta Low Threshold (Bullish): Maximum delta value 2 bars ago for the bullish signal (default is -500).
Delta High Threshold (Bullish): Minimum delta value in the current bar for the bullish signal (default is +200).
Practical Use
The indicator is useful for the following purposes:
Identifying Trend Changes:
The trend change signals (trendChangeBullish and trendChangeBearish) indicate potential price reversals. For example, a bullish signal near a support level may be an opportunity to enter a long position.
Detecting Divergences:
Delta divergences (positive and negative) can anticipate trend changes by showing a disagreement between price movement and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Finding Key Levels:
Imbalances (green and red backgrounds) often coincide with support and resistance levels, helping to identify areas where the market might react.
Confirming Trends:
A consistently positive delta in an uptrend or a negative delta in a downtrend can confirm the strength of the trend.
Identifying Failed Auctions:
Although not detected automatically, you can manually identify failed auctions by observing a price move to new highs/lows with decreasing volume in the direction of the move.
Limitations
Intrabar Data: It does not use detailed intrabar data, making it less precise than a native footprint chart.
Approximations: Volume classification and support/resistance detection are approximations, which may lead to false signals.
Volume Dependency: It requires reliable volume data, so it may be less effective on assets with inaccurate volume data (e.g., some forex pairs).
False Signals: Divergences and imbalances do not always indicate a trend change, especially in strongly trending markets.
Recommendations
Combine with Other Indicators: Use tools like RSI, MACD, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Trade on Higher Timeframes: Signals are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1-hour or 4-hour charts.
Perform Backtesting: Evaluate the indicator's accuracy on historical data to adjust parameters and improve effectiveness.
Adjust Parameters: Modify thresholds (e.g., imbalanceThreshold or supportResistanceLookback) based on the asset and timeframe you are trading.
Conclusion
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing volume dynamics and anticipating price trend changes. By classifying volume, calculating delta, detecting imbalances and divergences, and generating trend change signals, it provides traders with valuable insights into market buying and selling pressure. While it has limitations due to the lack of intrabar data, it can be highly effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and on assets with reliable volume data.

Crabs Multi-Timeframe Chaikin Money FlowThis indicator uses the classic Chaikin Money Flow formula, which consists of two main components:
Money Flow Multiplier: This determines whether money is flowing into or out of an asset during a period.
Money Flow Volume: This is the volume weighted by the multiplier.
This indicator adds to the basic CMF by using calculations for separate timeframes (1W, 1D, 4H, 1H). It will average the selected timeframes to create a composite line as well as a composite moving average. The indicator is completely customizable for colors/shading and will display a background shading change (when selected) indicating a change in direction of CMF. Each timeframe is selectable to display or not as desired - this will change the overall map of the CMF and the composites.
The indicator also ads user defined smoothing factors to reduce potential false signals.
A scaling feature is included which will allow for a very detailed numerical scale for the plot. If used in conjunction with the optional user defined upper and lower level lines, this can assist traders in identifying deeply overbought or oversold areas. These lines can also be selected to trigger alerts when hit.
It is also possible to use this indicator with traditional bullish/bearish divergence similar to how some might interpret the same with other popular indicators such as rsi/macd, etc.
This indicator can be used on larger timeframes to help identify possible swings and is a robust tool for visualization of potentially large market moves.

EMA Ribbon with 100 MA BY TIJUThe EMA Ribbon with 100 MA is a powerful and visually intuitive indicator designed to help traders identify trends, momentum, and potential support/resistance levels using multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). By plotting a series of EMAs with varying periods, the script creates a "ribbon" effect on the chart, making it easier to spot trend direction and strength at a glance.
Key Features:
Multiple EMAs for Trend Analysis:
The script plots 8 EMAs with periods ranging from 20 to 55, creating a gradient ribbon effect.
The 100-period EMA is added as a thick blue line, acting as a key level for long-term trend analysis.
Customizable Periods:
Each EMA period is fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style and timeframe.
Visual Clarity:
The EMAs are color-coded, making it easy to distinguish between different periods and identify the overall trend direction.
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
The EMAs act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points.
Drop Candles Feature:
The script includes an option to drop the first N candles, ensuring cleaner calculations and avoiding false signals during the initial periods.
How to Use:
Trend Identification:
Uptrend: When the shorter-period EMAs are stacked above the longer-period EMAs, it indicates a strong uptrend.
Downtrend: When the longer-period EMAs are stacked above the shorter-period EMAs, it indicates a strong downtrend.
Consolidation: When the EMAs are intertwined, it suggests a sideways or weak trend.
Support/Resistance Levels:
Use the EMAs as dynamic support/resistance levels. For example, in an uptrend, the price may bounce off the lower EMAs.
100-Period EMA:
The 100-period EMA (thick blue line) acts as a key level for long-term trend analysis. A price above this line suggests a bullish bias, while a price below suggests a bearish bias.
Customization:
Adjust the EMA periods and colors to suit your trading strategy.
Use the Drop first N candles option to avoid false signals during the initial periods.
Example Use Cases:
Trend Following:
Enter long positions when the price is above the EMA ribbon and the EMAs are stacked in an uptrend.
Enter short positions when the price is below the EMA ribbon and the EMAs are stacked in a downtrend.
Dynamic Support/Resistance:

The 200 EMA calculates the average price over the last 200 periods, giving more weight to recent price movements for a smoother and more responsive trend line.
It helps traders determine whether the market is in a bullish (above 200 EMA) or bearish (below 200 EMA) phase.
Why Traders Use the 200 EMA:
✅ Trend Confirmation – If the price is above the 200 EMA, the trend is bullish; if below, the trend is bearish.
✅ Dynamic Support & Resistance – Price often reacts around the 200 EMA, making it a key level for entries and exits.
✅ Works on All Timeframes – Whether on the 1-minute chart or the daily timeframe, the 200 EMA is effective for scalping, swing trading, and long-term investing.
✅ Easy to Combine with Other Indicators – Traders pair it with RSI, MACD, or price action for stronger confirmation.
How to Use It in Trading:
📌 Trend Trading – Buy when price pulls back to the 200 EMA in an uptrend; sell when price retests it in a downtrend.
📌 Breakout Strategy – A strong candle breaking above/below the 200 EMA signals a possible trend reversal.
📌 Filtering Trades – Many traders only take long trades above and short trades below the 200 EMA to align with the overall market trend.
Conclusion:
The 200 EMA is an essential indicator for traders of all levels, offering clear trend direction, strong support/resistance zones, and trade filtering for better decision-making. Whether you're trading forex, stocks, or crypto, mastering the 200 EMA can give you a significant edge in the markets. 🚀📈

Pivot Points [SMRT Algo]Pivot Points is a free, innovative indicator designed to automatically detect and highlight key turning points on your TradingView charts through advanced candlestick pattern analysis. This indicator is perfect for traders seeking clear visual signals for potential trend reversals.
How It Works:
Candlestick Pattern Analysis: The indicator continuously scans for specific candlestick formations. It identifies a potential high pivot when a bullish candle (where the close is higher than the open) is immediately followed by a bearish candle (where the close is lower than the open). Conversely, a potential low pivot is detected when a bearish candle is followed by a bullish candle.
Boxing the Price Range: Once a potential pivot is identified, the algorithm draws a box around the corresponding price range. This box captures the area where the price action is concentrated, serving as a zone of interest for the pivot.
Confirmation of Major Pivots: The initial detection marks what we call a "minor pivot" with a temporary yellow box. The indicator then waits for subsequent price action. If the price fails to break out of this box—meaning it remains confined within the defined boundaries—the pivot is confirmed as a major pivot. At this stage, the yellow box changes color to green (or red, depending on whether it’s a high or low pivot), clearly marking the confirmed turning point.
Pivot Sequence: The progression follows a clear sequence: Minor Pivot ➔ Yellow Box ➔ Major Pivot. This step-by-step visual guide helps traders quickly interpret the strength and significance of the pivot.
Inputs:
Show Labels: An input option allows you to toggle pivot labels on or off, so you can choose whether to display descriptive labels directly on your chart.
Adjustable Colors: The colors of the pivot points—including the green and red boxes—are fully customizable via the input settings. This ensures that you can tailor the visual appearance of the indicator to match your personal charting style or trading strategy.
Enhancing Entry and Exit Strategies
Entry Points: Look to enter a trade when the indicator confirms a pivot (after the box changes color). A confirmed pivot could indicate that a reversal is underway, giving you a potential entry signal.
Exit Points & Stop Losses: Use the boundaries of the pivot box to set stop losses. For example, if you’re in a long trade and the price approaches a confirmed resistance pivot, consider this a signal to tighten stops or exit, as the trend may reverse.
Confluence with Other Indicators: Combine the pivot point signals with other tools like RSI, MACD, or volume indicators. If multiple signals point to a reversal at the same pivot, it strengthens your confidence in the trade decision.
Trading Strategy Applications
Reversal Trading: Use confirmed pivot points as indicators for potential reversals. Enter trades when the price action validates the pivot point, anticipating that the market is turning.
Range Trading: When the price oscillates within a defined pivot box, you can use the top and bottom of the box as potential boundaries for a range-trading strategy.
Breakout Trading: Conversely, if the price breaks out of a pivot box, this may signal the start of a new trend. You can use this breakout as a trigger for entering a position in the direction of the breakout.
The indicator highlights potential reversal zones with clearly marked boxes and labels, making it easier to spot key turning points and manage trades effectively.
Pivot Points removes the guesswork by automatically scanning for and confirming pivot points based on rigorous candlestick analysis.
Whether you're a day trader or a swing trader, Pivot Points provides actionable insights into market dynamics, helping you to better time entries and exits.
TRI IndicatorTRI Indicator Description for TradingView
Overview:
The TRI (Trend Reversal Indicator) is a simple yet effective trend-following indicator designed to highlight potential trend reversals in the market. It dynamically changes the color of candles to visually indicate the start of an uptrend or downtrend, helping traders identify potential trade opportunities.
How It Works:
Uptrend Detection:
An uptrend is confirmed when the current closing price is above the previous high.
The high and low of the current candle must also be higher than the previous candle.
When this condition is met for the first time, the candle turns blue to indicate the beginning of an uptrend.
Downtrend Detection:
A downtrend is confirmed when the current closing price is below the previous low.
The high and low of the current candle must also be lower than the previous candle.
When this condition is met for the first time, the candle turns orange to indicate the beginning of a downtrend.
Candle Coloring Logic:
The first candle that meets the uptrend condition is colored blue.
The first candle that meets the downtrend condition is colored orange.
Subsequent candles remain unchanged until a new trend starts.
Key Features:
✅ Trend Reversal Detection: Helps traders spot potential shifts in market direction.
✅ Clear Visual Representation: Blue candles for new uptrends and orange candles for new downtrends.
✅ No Repainting: The indicator applies logic to ensure stable signals without repainting historical data.
✅ User-Friendly: No complicated inputs—works out of the box for traders of all levels.
How to Use:
Use the indicator on any timeframe (works best on higher timeframes for trend confirmation).
Combine with other indicators (like RSI, MACD, or volume analysis) for better trade decisions.
Apply it to different assets, including stocks, forex, and crypto markets.
[TehThomas] - MA Cross with DisplacementThis TradingView script, "MA Cross with Displacement," is designed to detect potential long and short trade opportunities based on moving average (MA) crossovers combined with price displacement confirmation. The script utilizes two simple moving averages (SMA) and highlights potential trade signals when a crossover occurs alongside a strong price movement (displacement).
Why This Indicator is Useful
This indicator enhances the standard moving average crossover strategy by incorporating a displacement condition, making trade signals more reliable. Many traders rely on moving average crossovers to determine trend reversals, but false signals often occur due to minor price fluctuations. By requiring a significant price movement (displacement), this indicator helps filter out weak or insignificant crossovers, leading to more high-probability trade opportunities.
How It Works
Calculates Two Moving Averages (MA)
The user can set two different MA periods:
MA 1 (blue line): Default period is 9 (shorter-term trend).
MA 2 (red line): Default period is 21 (longer-term trend).
These moving averages smooth out price fluctuations to identify overall trends.
Detects Crossovers
Bullish crossover: The blue MA crosses above the red MA + displacement candle → Potential long signal.
Example of bullish cross with displacement:
Bearish crossover: The blue MA crosses below the red MA + displacement candle → Potential short signal.
Example of bearish cross with displacement:
Confirms Displacement (Strong Price Move)
A price displacement threshold is used (default: 1.1% of the previous candle size).
For a valid trade signal, a crossover must occur alongside a strong price movement.
Bullish Displacement Condition: Price increased by more than the threshold.
Bearish Displacement Condition: Price decreased by more than the threshold.
Visual Indicators on the Chart
Bars are colored green when there is a bullish displacement.
Bars are colored red when there is a bearish displacement.
These color changes help traders quickly identify potential trade setups.
How to Use the Indicator
Add the Script to Your Chart
Copy and paste the script into TradingView's Pine Script Editor.
Click "Add to Chart" to activate it.
Customize the Settings
Adjust the moving average periods to fit your trading strategy.
Modify the displacement threshold based on market volatility.
Change the bar colors for better visualization.
Look for Trade Signals
Long Trade (Buy Signal)
The blue MA crosses above the red MA (bullish crossover).
A green bar appears, confirming bullish displacement.
Short Trade (Sell Signal)
The blue MA crosses below the red MA (bearish crossover).
A red bar appears, confirming bearish displacement.
Use in Conjunction with Other Indicators
This indicator works best when combined with support & resistance levels, RSI, MACD, or volume analysis to improve trade accuracy.
Final Thoughts
The MA Cross with Displacement Indicator improves the reliability of moving average crossovers by requiring strong price movements to confirm a trade signal. This helps traders avoid false breakouts and weak trends, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability trades.

DS_Gurukul_5minTrendDS Gurukul (DS_5minTrend) Indicator: A Simple Yet Powerful Trend Tool
The Tushar Daily Bands (DS_5minTrend) indicator is a straightforward tool designed to help traders quickly visualize potential trend reversals and identify profitable trading opportunities. This indicator plots two bands—an upper band (green) and a lower band (red)—based on a small percentage deviation from the closing price of the first candle of each trading day.
How it Works:
The DS_5minTrend indicator calculates these bands at the start of each new trading day. The bands then remain fixed for the rest of that day. This daily reset allows traders to easily see how the current day's price action relates to the opening price and the calculated bands.
Trading Signals:
Potential Reversals: When the price approaches or touches the upper band (green), it can signal a potential overbought condition and a possible reversal to the downside. Conversely, when the price approaches or touches the lower band (red), it can suggest an oversold condition and a possible reversal to the upside.
Trend Confirmation: If the price consistently closes above the upper band for several periods, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, consistent closes below the lower band can suggest a strong downtrend.
Support and Resistance: The bands can also act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can watch for price bounces off these levels as potential entry points.
How to Use:
Combine with other indicators: While DS_5minTrend can provide valuable insights, it's generally recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as RSI, MACD, or volume analysis, for confirmation.
Consider market context: Always consider the broader market context and news events that may be influencing price action.
Risk Management: Implement proper risk management strategies, including stop-loss orders, to protect your capital.
Disclaimer: The DS_5minTrend indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be the sole basis for making trading decisions. Trading involves substantial risk, and you could lose money. Always do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Alligator Oscillator | TramaAlligator Oscillator | Trama
The Alligator Oscillator | Trama (ATO | Trama) is a momentum-based trading indicator that utilizes Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA) to measure market trends.

Divergence: Watch for divergences between the AMI and price action for signals of potential trend reversals.
Crossing Zero: The AMI crossing from negative to positive might be used as a buy signal, and vice versa for a sell signal.
This script provides a new way to view momentum by consolidating multiple traditional indicators into one, potentially offering clearer signals in complex market environments.
Inside BarsInside Bars Indicator
Description:
This indicator identifies and highlights price action patterns where a bar's high and low
are completely contained within the previous bar's range. Inside bars are significant
technical patterns that often signal a period of price consolidation or uncertainty,
potentially leading to a breakout in either direction.
Trading Literature & Theory:
Inside bars are well-documented in technical analysis literature:
- Steve Nison discusses them in "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" as a form
of harami pattern, indicating potential trend reversals
- Thomas Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" categorizes inside bars as
a consolidation pattern with statistical significance for breakout trading
- Alexander Elder references them in "Trading for a Living" as indicators of
decreasing volatility and potential energy build-up
- John Murphy's "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" includes inside bars
as part of price action analysis for market psychology understanding
The pattern is particularly significant because it represents:
1. Volatility Contraction: A narrowing of price range indicating potential energy build-up
2. Institutional Activity: Often shows large players absorbing or distributing positions
3. Decision Point: Market participants evaluating the previous bar's significance
Trading Applications:
1. Breakout Trading
- Watch for breaks above the parent bar's high (bullish signal)
- Monitor breaks below the parent bar's low (bearish signal)
- Multiple consecutive inside bars can indicate stronger breakout potential
2. Market Psychology
- Inside bars represent a period of equilibrium between buyers and sellers
- Shows market uncertainty and potential energy building up
- Often precedes significant price movements
Best Market Conditions:
- Trending markets approaching potential reversal points
- After strong momentum moves where the market needs to digest gains
- Near key support/resistance levels
- During pre-breakout consolidation phases
Complementary Indicators:
- Volume indicators to confirm breakout strength
- Trend indicators (Moving Averages, ADX) for context
- Momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) for additional confirmation
Risk Management:
- Use parent bar's range for stop loss placement
- Wait for breakout confirmation before entry
- Consider time-based exits if breakout doesn't occur
- More reliable on higher timeframes
Note: The indicator works best when combined with proper risk management
and overall market context analysis. Avoid trading every inside bar pattern
and always confirm with volume and other technical indicators.

Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.
MATA GOLD RATIOMata Gold Instrument: User Guide
The Instrument to Gold Oscillator is a technical analysis tool that normalizes the ratio of an instrument's price (e.g., BTC/USD) to the price of gold (XAU/USD) into a 0-100 scale. This provides a clear and intuitive way to evaluate the relative performance of an instrument compared to gold over a specified period.
---
How It Works
1. Calculation of the Ratio:
The ratio is calculated as:
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Instrument Price}}{\text{Gold Price}}
2. Normalization:
The ratio is normalized using the highest and lowest values over a user-defined period (length), typically 14 periods:
\text{Normalized Ratio} = \frac{\text{Ratio} - \text{Min(Ratio)}}{\text{Max(Ratio)} - \text{Min(Ratio)}} \times 100
3. Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Above 80: The instrument is relatively expensive compared to gold (overbought).
Below 20: The instrument is relatively cheap compared to gold (oversold).
---
How to Use the Oscillator
1. Identify Overbought and Oversold Levels:
If the oscillator rises above 80, the instrument may be overvalued relative to gold. This could signal a potential reversal or correction.
If the oscillator falls below 20, the instrument may be undervalued relative to gold. This could signal a buying opportunity.
2. Track Trends:
Rising oscillator values indicate the instrument is gaining value relative to gold.
Falling oscillator values indicate the instrument is losing value relative to gold.
3. Crossing the Midline (50):
When the oscillator crosses above 50, the instrument's value is gaining strength relative to gold.
