Cyclic Smoothed RSI with Motive-Corrective Wave Indicator
This indicator uses the cyclic smoothed Relative Strength Index (cRSI) instead of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). See below for more info on the benefits to the cRSI.
My key contributions
1) A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to track the general trend of the cRSI signal. This is very helpful in determining when the equity switches from bullish to bearish, which can be used to determine buy/sell points. This is then is used to color the region between the upper and lower cRSI bands (green above, red below).
2) An attempt to detect the motive (impulse) and corrective and waves. Corrective waves are indicated A, B, C, D, E, F, G. F and G waves are not technically Elliot Waves, but the way I detect waves it is really hard to always get it right. Once and a while you could actually see G and F a second time. Motive waves are identified as s (strong) and w (weak). Strong waves have a peak above the cRSI upper band and weak waves have a peak below the upper band.
3) My own divergence indicator for bull, hidden bull, bear, and hidden bear. I was not able to replicate the TradingView style of drawing a line from peak to peak, but for this indicator I think in the end it makes the chart cleaner.
There is a latency issue with an indicator that is based on moving averages. That means they tend to trigger right after key events. Perfect timing is not possible strictly with these indicators, but they do work very well "on average." However, my implementation has minimal latency as peaks (tops/bottoms) only require one bar to detect.
As a bit of an Easter Egg, this code can be tweaked and run as a strategy to get buy/sell signals. I use this code for both my indicator and for trading strategy. Just copy and past it into a new strategy script and just change it from study to a strategy, something like this:
strategy("cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay", overlay=overlay)
The buy/sell code is at the end and just needs to be uncommented. I make no promises or guarantees about how good it is as a strategy, but it gives you some code and ideas to work with.
Tuning
1) Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): This is a “hidden strategy” feature implemented that will display the high-low bands of the VWMA on the price chart if run the code using “overlay = true”.
- If the equity does not have volume, then the VWMA will not show up. Uncheck this box and it will use the regular WMA (no volume).
- defines how far back the WMA averages price.
2) cRSI (Black line in the indicator)
- Increase to length that amount of time a band (upper/lower) stays high/low after a peak. Reduce the value to shorten the time. Just increment it up/down to see the effect.
- defines how far back the SMA averages the cRSI. This affects the purple line in the indicator.
- defines how many bars back the peak detector looks to determine if a peak has occurred. For example, a top is detected like this: current-bar down relative to the 1-bar-back, 1-bar-back up relative to 2-bars-back (look back = 1), c) 2-bars-back up relative to 3-bars-back (lookback = 2), and d) 3-bars-back up relative to 4-bars-back (lookback = 3). I hope that makes sense. There are only 2 options for this setting: 2 or 3 bars. 2 bars will be able to detect small peaks but create more “false” peaks that may not be meaningful. 3 bars will be more robust but can miss short duration peaks.
3) Waves
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
4) Divergence Indicators
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
Hints
- The most common parameter to change is the . Different stocks will have different levels of strength in their peaks. A setting of 2 may generate too many corrective waves.
- Different times scales will give you different wave counts. This is to be expected. A counter impulse wave inside a corrective wave may actually go above the cRSI WMA on a smaller time frame. You may need to increase it one or two levels to see large waves.
- Just because you see divergence (bear or hidden bear) does not mean a price is going to go down. Often price continues to rise through bears, so take note and that is normal. Bulls are usually pretty good indicators especially if you see them on C,E,G waves.

The “core” code for the cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator was written by Lars von Theinen and is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at mozilla.org Copyright (C) 2017 CC BY, whentotrade / Lars von Thienen. For more details on the cRSI Indicator:
The cyclic smoothed RSI indicator is an enhancement of the classic RSI, adding
1) additional smoothing according to the market vibration,
2) adaptive upper and lower bands according to the cyclic memory and
3) using the current dominant cycle length as input for the indicator.
It is much more responsive to market moves than the basic RSI. The indicator uses the dominant cycle as input to optimize signal, smoothing, and cyclic memory. To get more in-depth information on the cyclic-smoothed RSI indicator, please read Decoding The Hidden Market Rhythm - Part 1: Dynamic Cycles (2017), Chapter 4: "Fine-tuning technical indicators." You need to derive the dominant cycle as input parameter for the cycle length as described in chapter 4.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Buying/Selling Pressure & Trend Strength/Direction (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Buying/Selling Pressure & Trend Strength/Direction (Zeiierman) transforms price behavior into a continuous, evolving map of bullish and bearish pressure. The system breaks every candle into internal buying pressure, selling pressure, net dominance, and the broader structural trend environment. These elements combine into a unified visual structure that reveals how actively each side participates and how organized or fragmented the underlying trend has become.
Long/Short Covered visualization adds an additional layer of insight by highlighting moments when traders unwind positions, often exposing squeeze conditions, exhaustion zones, or developing turning points before they appear in price alone.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
This system stands out because it reconstructs market pressure from multiple directional components rather than relying on a single trend or momentum source. Instead of treating bullish and bearish movement as a simple up/down outcome, it forms a dual-sided pressure environment that adapts to how each side is behaving relative to its own historical structure. This produces a fluid, context-aware representation of participation that moves with the market instead of fighting it.
The anomaly-based Long/Short Covered component adds another layer of uniqueness. Rather than flagging spikes mechanically, it evaluates how current pressure behavior deviates from expected balance and highlights when traders are being forced out of positions. This produces a highly intuitive map of squeeze events, capitulation, and exhaustion dynamics.
█ Main Features
⚪ Buying/Selling Pressure Candles
Visualize the balance between bullish and bearish pressure as oscillator-style candles. Traders use these to quickly see whether current bars are dominated by buying or selling aggression and how strong that pressure is relative to recent history.
Fast Trend: A highly responsive trend layer that reflects short-term pressure shifts. Use it as the earliest indication of changing momentum and as a guide for deciding whether to participate in the developing pressure move or wait for stronger confirmation.
Core Trend: The underlying long-term pressure trend that reveals the broader market direction. Values above zero indicate a bullish regime, while values below zero indicate a bearish regime. Use the Core Trend to align your trades in the same direction as the dominant market trend.
Strong Trend: Strong Trend highlights periods of unusually intense and extended trend movement. These moves can continue for a while, but they often signal that the trend is becoming stretched. Extended Strong Trend conditions can precede exhaustion, deeper pullbacks, or even full reversals, so traders should remain cautious when these appear.
Established Trend: Identifies areas where market pressure has matured into a well-developed directional trend. Use this as a high-confidence confirmation layer. If the Established Trend begins to fade or stop printing while the price weakens, it can be an early sign that a pullback or reversal is approaching.
⚪ Long/Short Covered
Highlights candles where the pressure structure suggests aggressive unwinding of existing positions (longs or shorts). These zones often align with sharp spikes, squeezes, or capitulation and can be used to time reversals, profit-taking, or fade extreme moves.
⚪ Pressure Changes
Pressure Cross
Pressure Cross events show clear shifts where one side’s pressure overtakes the other. They signal that the balance of force is changing, but they still require confirmation from the Fast or Established Trend before being used as entry triggers or position add-ons.
Pre Signals
Pre Signals appear even earlier and highlight the first hints of pressure building in the opposite direction. They act as early heads-up alerts that may reflect short-term fluctuations, so traders should wait for additional confirmation before treating them as meaningful trend movement.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout/Momentum Trading (Buying and Selling Pressure)
Buying and selling pressure is displayed directly through the pressure candlesticks. The stronger the coloring, the stronger the force behind the move. This makes it easy to see which side is in control and whether the market is building enough pressure for a breakout or continuation. Traders can use this to gauge the strength of a move and align their entries with the dominant side of the market.
Breakout Trading
When strong green pressure candles appear as the price approaches resistance, it shows that buyers are actively pushing the breakout. Likewise, strong red pressure candles during a breakdown indicate decisive selling pressure. These surges help confirm whether a breakout has real strength behind it and reduce the chances of entering weak or false moves.
Bullish Breakout
Bearish Breakout
Momentum Trading
The deeper the candle coloration, the stronger the underlying momentum. Intense green candles reflect an accelerating bullish drive, while intense red candles reflect an accelerating bearish drive. Traders can use these moments to enter in the direction of momentum, focusing on strong moves that are more likely to continue.
Note: To capture longer and more sustained momentum moves, increase the candle length above 30.
⚪ Trend Trading
The indicator provides several components to evaluate trend direction and trend maturity. The pressure candlesticks and the Core Trend form the foundation of trend detection, while the Established Trend and Strong Trend features help confirm when a trend has developed into a mature, sustained phase. These layers together help identify trends with a higher likelihood of continuation or potential exhaustion when the move becomes extended.
Note: To capture longer and more sustained trend moves, increase the candle length above 30. You can also raise the Smoothed value into the 10–30 range for additional stability.
Candlesticks or Fast Trend
The pressure candlesticks and the Fast Trend can both be used to read trend direction. When green candles dominate and extend above the +200 region, and the Fast Trend is rising while red candles stay above the −200 region, the market is operating in a bullish environment. When red candles dominate below the −200 region, and the Fast Trend is falling while green candles stay below the +200 region, the environment is bearish. Stronger candle coloration and a firmly aligned Fast Trend both signal stronger trend behavior.
Core Trend
The Core Trend complements the candlesticks by offering a clear background bias. Green histogram bars indicate bullish conditions, while red histogram bars indicate bearish conditions. Traders can use the Core Trend to validate whether the pressure structure aligns with the broader directional bias.
⚪ Pressure Changes
Pressure Changes highlight moments where buying and selling pressure begin shifting from one side to the other. These movements often appear before trend transitions, but they are not trend reversals by default. Instead, they reveal temporary or emerging changes in pressure that may or may not develop into a lasting move. Traders should treat these signals as early information that needs further confirmation.
Pressure Cross events mark clear shifts where one side’s pressure overtakes the other. These events show that the balance of force is changing, but they do not guarantee a sustained trend reversal. Traders should confirm the shift by checking alignment with the Fast Trend, Core Trend, or Established Trend before acting on the signal.
Pre Signals appear even earlier than Pressure Cross events and highlight the first hints of pressure building in the opposite direction. These signals offer early awareness but can represent short-term fluctuations rather than meaningful shifts. Traders should use them as heads-up alerts and rely on additional confirmation tools to determine whether the pressure change will evolve into a genuine trend movement.
⚪ Reversal/Pullback Trading (Long/Short Covered)
Long traders eventually need to sell, and short traders eventually need to buy back. These actions can create meaningful pressure spikes that often appear near reversal zones or trend pullback areas.
Long Covered events tend to occur when long positions are being unwound, often marking potential reversal points or areas where price may find support within an existing uptrend. This can provide early clues that the current move is losing steam or preparing to reset.
Short Covered events tend to occur when short positions are being closed, often appearing near resistance zones or within strong downtrends where the market temporarily retraces. These signals can act as early warnings of pullbacks or exhaustion within broader bearish flows.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold
When the pressure candles reach the upper or lower limits, the market may be entering an extended condition. These zones often precede pauses, pullbacks, or full reversals, depending on the broader context. Traders can treat these boundaries as early caution areas where strong moves may temporarily lose strength.
⚪ Divergence Trading
The pressure candles naturally highlight divergences. When price makes a new high or low but the pressure candles fail to confirm with equally strong activity, it suggests that buying or selling pressure is fading. These divergence patterns can help traders identify potential reversal points or weakening momentum in ongoing trends.
█ How It Works
⚪ Buying/Selling Pressure
The indicator reframes each bar through a two-channel transformation that separately models bullish and bearish pressure. Instead of interpreting movement as a single directional value, the system generates a pair of opposing pressure streams that evolve against each other. This creates a dynamic field where dominance, imbalance, acceleration, and exhaustion can be observed simultaneously.
Calculation: Constructs a bi-directional pressure surface using normalized displacement relationships, volatility-adjusted scaling, and directional competition modeling.
⚪ Adaptive Strength Normalization
To avoid flat readings, each side’s pressure is evaluated relative to its own historical envelope, producing a normalized strength scale. This allows the model to interpret current motion in the context of what has recently been “strong” or “weak,” rather than relying on static reference levels.
Calculation: Applies rolling extremum mapping and nonlinear rescaling, converting raw directional activity into a bounded strength metric that reflects real-time contextual significance.
⚪ Geometric Trend Core Engine
Trend state is derived by combining directional pressure into a geometrically structured core. This core reacts not only to direction but to symmetry, dispersion, and slope of the pressure environment. When the core flattens while pressure expands, the system recognizes structural organization, flagging strong trends.
Calculation: Uses geometric mean transformations and smoothed envelope interactions to build a stable trend backbone that identifies when movement transitions from noise into coordinated directional behavior.
⚪ Long/Short Covered Anomaly
Long/Short Covered events emerge from a comparison of expected vs. actual pressure symmetry. When bullish and bearish gradients diverge beyond a context-defined limit, the system interprets it as forced unwinding or aggressive covering. These anomalies often signal structural stress, squeezes, or capitulation.
Calculation: Implements a bidirectional gradient comparison model, where deviation from the neutral equilibrium curve produces a significance score. If this score exceeds its adaptive threshold, an anomaly event is triggered.

KINSKI Flexible MACDFlexible MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) Indicator
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence consists of three elements: two moving averages (the MACD line and the signal line) and a histogram. The blue MACD line is the difference between a longer and a shorter EMA (here 13 and 21 periods preset), the red signal line is an SMA (here 8 preset) on the MACD line. The histogram (green: ascending, red: descending) shows the difference between both lines.
As soon as the blue MACD line crosses the red signal line, circles are generated that indicate an up/down trend. If the red signal line is greater than or equal to the blue MACD line, this indicates a downward trend (red circle). If the blue MACD line is greater than or equal to the red signal line, this indicates an upward trend (green circle).
The special thing about this MACD indicator is the many setting options, especially the definition of the MA variants for MACD (Fast, Slow) and signal. You can define the following MA types: "COVWMA", "DEMA", "EMA", "EHMA", "FRAMA", "HMA", "KAMA", "RMA", "SMA", "SMMA", "VIDYA", "VWMA", "WMA".
You also have the following display options:
- "Up/Down Movements: On/Off" - Shows ascending and descending MACD, signal lines
- "Up/Down Movements: Rising Length" - Defines the length from which ascending or descending lines are detected
- "Bands: On/Off" - Fills the space between MACD and signal lines with colors to indicate up or down trends
- "Bands: Transparency" - sets the transparency of the fill color

ADX TriggerThis script fires off a buy alert when the ADX is rising and above a user-defined value (default 25). It fires off a sell signal when ADX starts sloping downward. The lookback period to determine if it is sloping up/down (in bars) is also configurable by the user. The plot highlights green when there is a "go" signal. Thanks to @9e52f12edd034d28bdd5544e7ff92e for the idea.
Bar Balance [LucF]Bar Balance extracts the number of up, down and neutral intrabars contained in each chart bar, revealing information on the strength of price movement. It can display stacked columns representing raw up/down/neutral intrabar counts, or an up/down balance line which can be calculated and visualized in many different ways.
WARNING: This is an analysis tool that works on historical bars only. It does not show any realtime information, and thus cannot be used to issue alerts or for automated trading. When realtime bars elapse, the indicator will require a browser refresh, a change to its Inputs or to the chart's timeframe/symbol to recalculate and display information on those elapsed bars. Once a trader understands this, the indicator can be used advantageously to make discretionary trading decisions.
Traders used to work with my Delta Volume Columns Pro will feel right at home in this indicator's Inputs . It has lots of options, allowing it to be used in many different ways. If you value the bar balance information this indicator mines, I hope you will find the time required to master the use of Bar Balance well worth the investment.
█ OVERVIEW
The indicator has two modes: Columns and Line .
Columns
• In Columns mode you can display stacked Up/Down/Neutral columns.
• The "Up" section represents the count of intrabars where `close > open`, "Down" where `close < open` and "Neutral" where `close = open`.
• The Up section always appears above the centerline, the Down section below. The Neutral section overlaps the centerline, split halfway above and below it.
The Up and Down sections start where the Neutral section ends, when there is one.
• The Up and Down sections can be colored independently using 7 different methods.
• The signal line plotted in Line mode can also be displayed in Columns mode.
Line
• Displays a single balance line using a zero centerline.
• A variable number of independent methods can be used to calculate the line (6), determine its color (5), and color the fill (5).
You can thus evaluate the state of 3 different components with this single line.
• A "Divergence Levels" feature will use the line to automatically draw expanding levels on divergence events.
Features available in both modes
• The color of all components can be selected from 15 base colors, with 16 gradient levels used for each base color in the indicator's gradients.
• A zero line can show a 6-state aggregate value of the three main volume balance modes.
• The background can be colored using any of 5 different methods.
• Chart bars can be colored using 5 different methods.
• Divergence and large neutral count ratio events can be shown in either Columns or Line mode, calculated in one of 4 different methods.
• Markers on 6 different conditions can be displayed.
█ CONCEPTS
Intrabar inspection
Intrabar inspection means the indicator looks at lower timeframe bars ( intrabars ) making up a given chart bar to gather its information. If your chart is on a 1-hour timeframe and the intrabar resolution determined by the indicator is 5 minutes, then 12 intrabars will be analyzed for each chart bar and the count of up/down/neutral intrabars among those will be tallied.
Bar Balances and calculation methods
The indicator uses a variety of methods to evaluate bar balance and to derive other calculations from them:
1. Balance on Bar : Uses the relative importance of instant Up and Down counts on the bar.
2. Balance Averages : Uses the difference between the EMAs of Up and Down counts.
3. Balance Momentum : Starts by calculating, separately for both Up and Down counts, the difference between the same EMAs used in Balance Averages and an SMA of double the period used for the EMAs. These differences are then aggregated and finally, a bounded momentum of that aggregate is calculated using RSI.
4. Markers Bias : It sums the bull/bear occurrences of the four previous markers over a user-defined period (the default is 14).
5. Combined Balances : This is the aggregate of the instant bull/bear bias of the three main bar balances.
6. Dual Up/Down Averages : This is a display mode showing the EMA calculated for each of the Up and Down counts.
Interpretation of neutral intrabars
What do neutral intrabars mean? When price does not change during a bar, it can be because there is simply no interest in the market, or because of a perfect balance between buyers and sellers. The latter being more improbable, Bar Balance assumes that neutral bars reveal a lack of interest, which entails uncertainty. That is the reason why the option is provided to interpret ratios of neutral intrabars greater than 50% as divergences. It is also the rationale behind the option to dampen signal lines on the inverse ratio of neutral intrabars, so that zero intrabars do not affect the signal, and progressively larger proportions of neutral intrabars will reduce the signal's amplitude, as the balance calcs using the up/down counts lose significance. The impact of the dampening will vary with markets. Weaker markets such as cryptos will often contain greater numbers of neutral intrabars, so dampening the Line in that sector will have a greater impact than in more liquid markets.
█ FEATURES
1 — Columns
• While the size of the Up/Down columns always represents their respective importance on the bar, their coloring mode is independent. The default setup uses a standard coloring mode where the Up/Down columns over/under the zero line are always in the bull/bear color with a higher intensity for the winning side. Six other coloring modes allow you to pack more information in the columns. When choosing to color the top columns using a bull/bear gradient on Balance Averages, for example, you will end up with bull/bear colored tops. In order for the color of the bottom columns to continue to show the instant bar balance, you can then choose the "Up/Down Ratio on Bar — Dual Solid Colors" coloring mode to make those bars the color of the winning side for that bar.
• Line mode shows only the line, but Columns mode allows displaying the line along with it. If the scale of the line is different than that of the scale of the columns, the line will often appear flat. Traders may find even a flat line useful as its bull/bear colors will be easily distinguishable.
2 — Line
• The default setup for Line mode uses a calculation on "Balance Momentum", with a fill on the longer-term "Balance Averages" and a line color based on the "Markers Bias". With the background set on "Line vs Divergence Levels" and the zero line on the hard-coded "Combined Bar Balances", you have access to five distinct sources of information at a glance, to which you can add divergences, divergences levels and chart bar coloring. This provides powerful potential in displaying bar balance information.
• When no columns are displayed, Line mode can show the full scale of whichever line you choose to calculate because the columns' scale no longer interferes with the line's scale.
• Note that when "Balance on Bar" is selected, the Neutral count is also displayed as a ratio of the balance line. This is the only instance where the Neutral count is displayed in Line mode.
• The "Dual Up/Down Averages" is an exception as it displays two lines: one average for the Up counts and another for the Down counts. This mode will be most useful when Columns are also displayed, as it provides a reference for the top and bottom columns.
3 — Zero Line
The zero line can be colored using two methods, both based on the Combined Balances, i.e., the aggregate of the instant bull/bear bias of the three main bar balances.
• In "Six-state Dual Color Gradient" mode, a dot appears on every bar. Its color reflects the bull/bear state of the Combined Balances, and the dot's brightness reflects the tally of balance biases.
• In "Dual Solid Colors (All Bull/All Bear Only)" a dot only appears when all three balances are either bullish or bearish. The resulting pattern is identical to that of Marker 1.
4 — Divergences
• Divergences are displayed as a small circle at the top of the scale. Four different types of divergence events can be detected. Divergences occur whenever the bull/bear bias of the method used diverges with the bar's price direction.
• An option allows you to include in divergence events instances where the count of neutral intrabars exceeds 50% of the total intrabar count.
• The divergence levels are dynamic levels that automatically build from the line's values on divergence events. On consecutive divergences, the levels will expand, creating a channel. This implementation of the divergence levels corresponds to my view that divergences indicate anomalies, hesitations, points of uncertainty if you will. It excludes any association of a pre-determined bullish/bearish bias to divergences. Accordingly, the levels merely take note of divergence events and mark those points in time with levels. Traders then have a reference point from which they can evaluate further movement. The bull/bear/neutral colors used to plot the levels are also congruent with this view in that they are determined by price's position relative to the levels, which is how I think divergences can be put to the most effective use.
5 — Background
• The background can show a bull/bear gradient on four different calculations. You can adjust its brightness to make its visual importance proportional to how you use it in your analysis.
6 — Chart bars
• Chart bars can be colored using five different methods.
• You have the option of emptying the body of bars where volume does not increase, as does my TLD indicator, the idea behind this being that movement on bars where volume does not increase is less relevant.
7 — Intrabar Resolution
You can choose between three modes. Two of them are automatic and one is manual:
a) Fast, Longer history, Auto-Steps (~12 intrabars) : Optimized for speed and deeper history. Uses an average minimum of 12 intrabars.
b) More Precise, Shorter History Auto-Steps (~24 intrabars) : Uses finer intrabar resolution. It is slower and provides less history. Uses an average minimum of 24 intrabars.
c) Fixed : Uses the fixed resolution of your choice.
Auto-Steps calculations vary for 24/7 and conventional markets in order to achieve the proper target of minimum intrabars.
You can choose to view the intrabar resolution currently used to calculate delta volume. It is the default.
The proper selection of the intrabar resolution is important. It must achieve maximal granularity to produce precise results while not unduly slowing down calculations, or worse, causing runtime errors.
8 — Markers
Six markers are available:
1. Combined Balances Agreement : All three Bar Balances are either bullish or bearish.
2. Up or Down % Agrees With Bar : An up marker will appear when the percentage of up intrabars in an up chart bar is greater than the specified percentage. Conditions mirror to down bars.
3. Divergence confirmations By Price : One of the four types of balance calculations can be used to detect divergences with price. Confirmations occur when the bar following the divergence confirms the balance bias. Note that the divergence events used here do not include neutral intrabar events.
4. Balance Transitions : Bull/bear transitions of the selected balance.
5. Markers Bias Transitions : Bull/bear transitions of the Markers Bias.
6. Divergence Confirmations By Line : Marks points where the line first breaches a divergence level.
Markers appear when the condition is detected, without delay. Since nothing is plotted in realtime, markers do not appear on the realtime bar.
9 — Settings
• Two modes can be selected to dampen the line on the ratio of neutral intrabars.
• A distinct weight can be attributed to the count of the latter half of intrabars, on the assumption that later intrabars may be more important in determining the outcome of chart bars.
• Allows control over the periods of the different moving averages used in calculations.
• The default periods used for the various calculations define the following hierarchy from slow to fast:
Balance Averages: 50,
Balance Momentum: 20,
Dual Up/Down Averages: 20,
Marker Bias: 10.
█ LIMITATIONS
• This script uses a special characteristic of the `security()` function allowing the inspection of intrabars—which is not officially supported by TradingView.
• The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars.
• The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars and the stepping mechanism could require adaptation.
• When using the "Line vs Divergence Levels — Dual Color Gradient" color mode to fill the line, background or chart bars, keep in mind that a line calculation mode must be defined for it to work, as it determines gradients on the movement of the line relative to divergence levels. If the line is hidden, it will not work.
• When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the intrabar resolution is too great, runtime errors will occur. The Auto-Steps selection mechanisms should avoid this.
• Alerts do not work reliably when `security()` is used at intrabar resolutions. Accordingly, no alerts are configured in the indicator.
• The color model used in the indicator provides for fancy visuals that come at a price; when you change values in Inputs , it can take 20 seconds for the changes to materialize. Luckily, once your color setup is complete, the color model does not have a large performance impact, as in normal operation the `security()` calls will become the most important factor in determining response time. Also, once in a while a runtime error will occur when you change inputs. Just making another change will usually bring the indicator back up.
█ RAMBLINGS
Is this thing useful?
I'll let you decide. Bar Balance acts somewhat like an X-Ray on bars. The intrabars it analyzes are no secret; one can simply change the chart's resolution to see the same intrabars the indicator uses. What the indicator brings to traders is the precise count of up/down/neutral intrabars and, more importantly, the calculations it derives from them to present the information in a way that can make it easier to use in trading decisions.
How reliable is Bar Balance information?
By the same token that an up bar does not guarantee that more up bars will follow, future price movements cannot be inferred from the mere count of up/down/neutral intrabars. Price movement during any chart bar for which, let's say, 12 intrabars are analyzed, could be due to only one of those intrabars. One can thus easily see how only relying on bar balance information could be very misleading. The rationale behind Bar Balance is that when the information mined for multiple chart bars is aggregated, it can provide insight into the history behind chart bars, and thus some bias as to the strength of movements. An up chart bar where 11/12 intrabars are also up is assumed to be stronger than the same up bar where only 2/12 intrabars are up. This logic is not bulletproof, and sometimes Bar Balance will stray. Also, keep in mind that balance lines do not represent price momentum as RSI would. Bar Balance calculations have no idea where price is. Their perspective, like that of any historian, is very limited, constrained that it is to the narrow universe of up/down/neutral intrabar counts. You will thus see instances where price is moving up while Balance Momentum, for example, is moving down. When Bar Balance performs as intended, this indicates that the rally is weakening, which does necessarily imply that price will reverse. Occasionally, price will merrily continue to advance on weakening strength.
Divergences
Most of the divergence detection methods used here rely on a difference between the bias of a calculation involving a multi-bar average and a given bar's price direction. When using "Bar Balance on Bar" however, only the bar's balance and price movement are used. This is the default mode.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for the purported ability of bullish/bearish divergences to indicate imminent reversals.
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . Bar Balance can display lots of information. While learning to use a new indicator inevitably requires an adaptation period where we put it through its paces and try out all its options, once you have become used to Bar Balance and decide to adopt it, rigorously eliminate the components you don't use and configure the remaining ones so their visual prominence reflects their relative importance in your analysis. I tried to provide flexible options for traders to control this indicator's visuals for that exact reason—not for window dressing.
█ NOTES
For traders
• To avoid misleading traders who don't read script descriptions, the indicator shows nothing in the realtime bar.
• The Data Window shows key values for the indicator.
• All gradients used in this indicator determine their brightness intensities using advances/declines in the signal—not their relative position in a fixed scale.
• Note that because of the way gradients are optimized internally, changing their brightness will sometimes require bringing down the value a few steps before you see an impact.
• Because this indicator does not use volume, it will work on all markets.
For coders
• For those interested in gradients, this script uses an advanced version of the Advance/Decline gradient function from the PineCoders Color Gradient (16 colors) Framework . It allows more precise control over the range, steps and min/max values of the gradients.
• I use the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine to write my scripts.
• I used functions modified from the PineCoders MTF Selection Framework for the selection of timeframes.

Volatility Stop MTFThis is a multi-timeframe version of our Volatility Stop , an ATR-based trend detector that can be used as a stop.
► Timeframe selection
The higher timeframe can be selected using 3 different ways:
• By steps (60 min., 1D, 3D, 1W, 1M, 1Y).
• As a multiple of the current chart's resolution, which can be fractional, so 3.5 will work.
• Fixed.
Note that you can also use this indicator without the higher timeframe functionality. It will then behave as our normal Volatility Stop would.
► Stop breaches
Two modes of stop-breaching logic can be selected.
• In the default, Early Breach mode, the stop is considered breached when a bar at the chart's current resolution breaches the higher timeframe stop.
• You may also choose to calculate breaches on the higher timeframe information only.
Choosing the Early Breach mode has the advantage of generating faster exits. It will create a state of limbo where the stop has been breached but the Volatility Stop trend has not yet reversed. The impact of detecting earlier exits to minimize losses comes, as is usually the case, at the cost of a compromise: if the stop is breached early in a long trend, the indicator will then spend most of that trend in limbo. Sizeable portions of a trend can thus be missed.
A few options are provided when you use Early Breach mode:
• A red triangle can identify early breaches (default).
• You can color bars or the background to identify limbo states.
When in limbo, the color used to plot the indicator's line or shapes will always be darker.
► Alerts
Five pre-defined alerts are supplied:
• #1: On any trend change.
• #2: On changes into an uptrend.
• #3: On changes into a downtrend.
• #4: Only on breaches of the uptrend by the chart's bars (Early Breach mode). Will not trigger on a trend change.
• #5: Only on breaches of the downtrend by the chart's bars (Early Breach mode). Will not trigger on a trend change.
As usual, alerts should be configured to trigger Once Per Bar Close . When creating alerts, you will see a warning to the effect that potentially repainting code is used, even if the indicator's default non-repainting mode is active. The warning is normal.
► Other features
• You can color bars using the indicator's up/down state. When bars are colored, up bars are more brightly colored.
• The HTF line is non-repainting by default, but you can allow it to repaint.
• You can confirm the higher timeframe used by displaying it at a selectable distance from the last bar on the chart.
• Choice of 2 color themes.
• Choice of display as a line, circles, diamonds or arrows. The line can be used with the other shapes. If no line is required, set its thickness to zero.
Enjoy!
Look first. Then leap.
Run Up/Down TriggerTriggers for a sequential number of periods going up or down, with separate thresholds for up and down.
MKAST V2 (monthly)PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE PURCHASING & USING THE MKAST Algorithm. Saves you and me some time in emails and messages. :)
This is the NEW MONTHLY ACCESS Version of the MKAST
The MKAST Buy Sell Algorithm is a very specific strategy, cut down to its roots and made perfect for the volatile crypto market.
Many Algorithms focus only on one aspect, one side, one specific rule.
As you know, this is not how life, the market or anything else works.
MKAST combines many different aspects at the same time, scans multiple other Algorithms and comes to a conclusion based on over 1350 lines of code.
It is based on Divergences, Elliott Waves , Ichimoku , MACD , MACD Histogram, RSI , Stoch , CCI , Momentum, OBV, DIOSC, VWMACD, CMF and multiple EMAs.
Every single aspect is weighted into the decision before giving out an indication.
Most buy/sell Algorithms FAIL because they try to apply the same strategy to every single chart, which
are as individual as humans.
To conquer this problem, MKAST has a wide range of settings and variables which can be easily
modified.
To make it a true strategy, MKAST has as well settings for Take Profit Points, Multiple Entries and Stop
Losses. Everything with an Alert Feature of course.
I know from experience that many people take one Algorithm and are simply too LAZY to add multiple Algorithms to make a rational choice.
The result of that is that they lose money, by following blatantly only one Algorithm.
MKAST has additional 9 Indicators, perfect for the crypto market, which can be turned on and off.
Manual
MKAST Signals Settings
“Show Signals?” - On/Off to show the Buy/Sell Signals.
“Aggressiveness” - Increase to make the signals less aggressive and decrease to make them more aggressive.
“Show Custom Signals?” - On/Off to show custom MKAST Signals as chosen in the settings below.
“Custom Buy/Sell Aggressiveness” - Choose a custom Aggressiveness for each buy and sell signal individually.
“TJ-Index Requirement For Buy/Sell” - If the TJ-Index is below the given number, it will show the signal in grey, this also applies for normal signals. Buy 0 and Sell 15 shows all signals in their original colour again.
“Don’t show signals that don’t meet index requirement?” - Checked, it will completely not show signals which would be “grey” as in the explanation above.
“Change Backgroundcolour if index is at 15 or 0?” - Checked, changes the colour of the chart if the index is at 15 or 0 points
MKAST Panel Settings
“Show Info Panel?” - Shows Info Panel on the chart.
“Move Info Panel UP by %” - Moves Info Panel up/down.
“Move Info Panel Left/Right ” - Moves Info Panel Left/Right.
“Show BitMEX Panel?” - Shows BitMEX Panel on the chart.
“Move BitMEX Panel by % ” - Moves BitMEX Panel up/down.
“Move BitMEX Panel Left/Right” - Moves BitMEX Panel Left/Right. “Signal Source” - Choose source of candle open/close for Equity calculation.
“Leverage Used?” - Select the used Leverage for your strategy and Equity calculation.
“Fees Per Trade in % ” - Deducts these fees after each trade from Equity calculation.
“Round Current Profit Price?” - Rounds the number on the Panel. “Trading Periods ” - Choose a trading Period which will be used to calculate Period Equity.
“Show separations of each Trading Period?” - Show separations on the chart of each Trading Period.
The very new feature on Tradingview and obviously now as well on MKAST are Information Panels.
I have chosen to add an Info Panel and a BitMEX Price Panel into MKAST, to make live and even
backtesting easier.
With only one blink of an eye the user is able to see ALL relevant information, without having to go
through various ways of checking and using other tools.
The Info Panel:
The first row shows the current profit. This is calculated since the signal initiation and the current candle close. Followed by a single number, which represents the current TJ-Index, removing the need of having to add the actual TJ-Index Oscillator on the chart.
The second row shows the current position and its status. This was added on request of many users wanting to know if their position is “about to change” or not. The status shows the users if the position is “endangered” or “okay”.
Followed by the “backtesting tool” already included inside the Panel. No need for complex oscillators with a hard reading for backtesting. With this one and simple panel, you see the Period Equity for the period chosen previously in the settings. This calculates all profits made inside that period and re-sets when the period ends. Right next to it, the Total Equity calculating ALL profits since the beginning of the chart.
Right below, you see the information about the last long and short position which have been open. This helps with the evaluation and documentation of the last trade.
The BitMEX Panel:
A convenient panel which shows all BitMEX contracts and their LIVE prices. The need for opening each chart goes away, the quality and experience of trading increases.
MKAST custom Signals are one of the notorious possibilities for ADVANCED strategies with MKAST.
Users who requested these features and use them frequently are the ones, having already a very unique trading strategy and they use these very custom signals as confluence or for multiple entry trades.
These custom signals and their settings can be mostly ignored by the majority of traders who are using this Algorithm.
The idea behind the grey signals has its roots in the idea of the TJ-Index. The TJ-Index being 15 Algorithms and conditions possible showing a bullish or bearish interpretation. The index counts the Algorithms which are showing a bullish interpretation.
Like that we can make sure that signals are shown in the original colour, are only those who have an additional confluence with the TJ-Index, not letting the user buy, if at least the majority is not bullish , and not letting the user sell, if at least the majority is bearish .
The custom buy and sell aggressiveness lets the user customise the MKAST algorithm even more.
Either the users wants to see how signals are changing on a different (slightly lower or higher) aggressiveness, being able to expect a change on their own settings. OR seeing that some signals of the same sort are a little out of place and is able to move these to a different aggressiveness, increasing the profitability even more.
Needless to say, custom signals are NOT a part of the Info Panel.
MKAST Label & Trendline Settings
“Show Labels?” - On/Off to show Labels above each signal, with the percentage gain or loss, calculated from the last signal to the new signal.
“Show Trendlines?” - On/Off to show automatic Trendlines following Gainzy Lines.
“Lookback Length” - Choose a length that the automatic trendiness use for calculation. Comparable to Aggressiveness.
“Wicks//Bodies” - Change between trendiness connecting from wick to wick or from body to body.
“Black lines// Coloured lines” - Change between simply black lines or changing colour lines.
“Filter Trendlines?” - On/Off to show all trendiness or just resistance decreasing and support increasing ones.
“Limit Extensions Of The Lines?” - This value increases by how much the trendiness are being extended. 0 = endless extension, otherwise 100 = maximum custom extension.MKAST Strategy “Take Profit 1” - On/Off to show TP1 points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is active.
“Take Profit 2 ” - On/Off to show TP2 points.
“Take Profit 2 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is
active.
“Take Profit 3” - On/Off to show TP3 points.
“Take Profit 3 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is active.
“Second Entry” - On/Off to show Second Entry points.
“Second Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Second Entry is active.
“Third Entry” - On/Off to show Third Entry points.
“Third Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Third Entry is active.
“Stop Loss” - On/Off to show Stop Loss points.
“Stop Loss After %” - Set the percentage after which Stop Loss is active.
MKAST Strategy
To make the life of the MKAST user even easier, I have added all adjustable Take Profit Points, Multiple entry points and Stop Loss points.
I have never seen a sustainable and reliable trading strategy without TPs, Multiple entry and especially without a stop loss. Everything in the usual and fully customisable MKAST style.
Simply choose how many Take Profit points you would like to have and choose the percentage after which you would like to see the Take Profit point appear on the chart and notify you to take profits.
Are you a Trader who likes Multiple Entries? Also no problem with MKAST. Select how many additional entries you would like to have and after how many percent you would like them to appear on the chart and remind you of adding to the position.
What would a Strategy be without a Stop Loss? Same settings apply here as on the TPs and MEs .
All of the settings are able to take fractions of a number as well. This enables users to even use all of the strategy settings for scalping or FX pairs, where high leverage and the smallest of moves are used for trading.
Needless to say, all of these settings work on RENKO and Heikin Ashi as well. These might need adjustment, since the calculation is different, yet there is nothing standing in the way of it anymore.
Crypto Modified Indicators
“Show Divergences?” - On/Off to show Divergences on the Chart based on the data of 10 different Algorithms.
“Show Oversold/bought?” - On/Off to change the colour of the chart in Oversold/bought conditions.
“Oversold/bought value?” - Choose a value for which the chart is Oversold/bought.
“Show Fibonacci Levels?” - On/Off to show automatic Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Lookback Lenght” - This value states how many candles from right now are taken into account to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Custom Period” - Choose a custom Timeframe that should be used to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
“2nd-7th Fibonacci Level” - Enter a value for the Fibonacci Levels you would like to use and see on the chart.
“Plot 1.618 Level?” - On/Off for the Fibonacci extension level.
Crypto Modified Indicators
“Show Bands?” - On/Off to show the TJ-Bands on the chart.
“Bands Length” - Choose a value for the TJ-Bands Lenght
“Show Show EMA 1-3?” - On/Off to show the EMAs 1-3 on the chart.
“EMA Lenght 1-3” - Choose a value for the first to third EMA Lenght
“Show Ichimoku? ” - On/Off to show Ichimoku on the chart.
“Show Tenkin?” - On/Off to show Tenkin on the chart. “Tenkin” - Set the lenght of the Tenkin.
“Show Kijun?” - On/Off to show Kijun on the chart.
“Kijun” - Set the lenght of the Kijun.
“Show Senkou?” - On/Off to show the Senkou on the chart. “Senkou” - Set the lenght of the Senkou.
“Displacement” - Set the value of the Displacement.
“Show Chikou Span?” - On/Off to show the Chikou Span on the chart.
Crypto Custom Indicators
In the picture above, you see the first pair of Crypto Custom Indicators. The oversold and overbought conditions are highlighted.
Bullish and Bearish divergences are also plotted on the chart.
This is personally my favourite combination of Indicators and MKAST settings. It shows nicely
everything one needs to know and makes it easier to decide wether to follow a signal or not.
We here as well a perfect example of the Automatic Fibonacci Lines (Lookback 50, Timeframe 1D).
It shows all significant levels, which we can see being respected.
Orange = 23.6%, Green = 38.2%, Red = 50%, Yellow = 61.8%, Blue = 78.6%, White = 0%;100%
In this picture above, we observe the perfect ensemble of MKAST and an EMA strategy, especially modified for crypto markets.
Here, as by default, we have the EMAs at 21, 90 and 200. These have shown to be very significant moving support and resistance points in the crypto market.
In this picture above, I lowered the timeframe to show the highly significant levels of the Ichimoku . It has not the “usual values”. These here have been modified for the volatile crypto market and set as default.
An incredibly powerful tool for anyone who is ready to step up their trading game. It is a huge part of the MKAST back end and the strategy behind it.
MKAST Custom Alerts
1
MKAST without any doubt has Custom Alerts for all Signals that it is painting on the chart.
One can even choose to receive custom notifications for Take Profit points, Multiple Entry points and
the Stop Loss points.
The signals appear on the chart DURING the candle, not at the end of the candle. Therefore, the
alerts do this as well. These appear during the candle.
Here we can see all of the possible Alerts that can be chosen to be displayed. In total it is 14 different custom alerts, based on what the trader is looking for and how he is trading.
Personally, I have 10-15 coins that I trade the most and for these I have custom notifications, mostly though only the MKAST Buy/Sell and Stop Loss Signals.
To activate Alerts for MKAST,
1) Go to the “ALERT” icon on the top tool bar of your Tradingview.
2) Select “CONDITION” as “—MKAST—“
3) Then choose ONE condition from the list of conditions.
4) On “OPTIONS” you can set how many times it appears, I have “Once per Bar”.
4.1) If you want to make sure that the signal is truly there and not just a condition for a second during the candle, choose “ONCE PER BAR CLOSE”.
5) “Expiration Time” sets the time until the alert expires. PRO users have no expiration for alerts.
6) “Alert Actions” give you a row of choices what happens and how you want to be notified.
7) “Message” is the message that you receive inside the notification.

Crypto Custom Indicators
In the picture above, you see the first pair of Crypto Custom Indicators. The oversold and overbought conditions are highlighted.
Bullish and Bearish divergences are also plotted on the chart.
This is personally my favourite combination of Indicators and MKAST settings. It shows nicely
everything one needs to know and makes it easier to decide wether to follow a signal or not.
We here as well a perfect example of the Automatic Fibonacci Lines (Lookback 50, Timeframe 1D).
It shows all significant levels, which we can see being respected.
Orange = 23.6%, Green = 38.2%, Red = 50%, Yellow = 61.8%, Blue = 78.6%, White = 0%;100%
In this picture above, we observe the perfect ensemble of MKAST and an EMA strategy, especially modified for crypto markets.
Here, as by default, we have the EMAs at 21, 90 and 200. These have shown to be very significant moving support and resistance points in the crypto market.
In this picture above, I lowered the timeframe to show the highly significant levels of the Ichimoku. It has not the “usual values”. These here have been modified for the volatile crypto market and set as default.
An incredibly powerful tool for anyone who is ready to step up their trading game. It is a huge part of the MKAST back end and the strategy behind it.
MKAST Custom Alerts
1
MKAST without any doubt has Custom Alerts for all Signals that it is painting on the chart.
One can even choose to receive custom notifications for Take Profit points, Multiple Entry points and
the Stop Loss points.
The signals appear on the chart DURING the candle, not at the end of the candle. Therefore, the
alerts do this as well. These appear during the candle.
Here we can see all of the possible Alerts that can be chosen to be displayed. In total it is 14 different custom alerts, based on what the trader is looking for and how he is trading.
Personally, I have 10-15 coins that I trade the most and for these I have custom notifications, mostly though only the MKAST Buy/Sell and Stop Loss Signals.
To activate Alerts for MKAST,
1) Go to the “ALERT” icon on the top tool bar of your Tradingview.
2) Select “CONDITION” as “—MKAST—“
3) Then choose ONE condition from the list of conditions.
4) On “OPTIONS” you can set how many times it appears, I have “Once per Bar”.
4.1) If you want to make sure that the signal is truly there and not just a condition for a second during the candle, choose “ONCE PER BAR CLOSE”.
5) “Expiration Time” sets the time until the alert expires. PRO users have no expiration for alerts.
6) “Alert Actions” give you a row of choices what happens and how you want to be notified.
7) “Message” is the message that you receive inside the notification.

VRSI-MARSI AI wanted to create an indicator which resembles price movement, aside to volume movement.
MARSI (= MA RSI(close)) = "yellow-blue" line which is the MA(5) of the RSI (9) of closing price.
VRSI (= MA RSI(Volume)) = "orange" line which is the MA(5) of the RSI (9) of Volume .
(Default plot of RSI and VRSI is not visible but can be made visible ("Settings" > "Style" > set "Opacity" of "RSI & VRSI"))
Because it still is a RSI indicator, the midline (50), and Oversold/Overbought area's (20-30 & 70-80) are important to watch, especially the MARSI!
Comparing the price movement with the "orange" Volume VRSI line helps to spot a possible trend change,
for example when price goes up and an ascending Volume VRSI line starts to flatten or starts descending,
this could be a sign that the Bullish trend is weakening, predicting a possible trend change.
Or, when for example a downwards price movement is accompanied with a rising Volume VRSI line, this can be a sign of large Bearish power.
This study comes with Bollinger Bands as an assisting tool, it is default made not visible but can be made visible
("settings" > "style" > Set "Opacity" of "basis, upper & lower")
You can see where the MARSI ("yellow-blue" line) crosses the "basis", or bounces off the bands, ...
All this is seen in "VRSI-MARSI B"
"VRSI-MARSI A" contains the alerts:
1) Long/Short = "Triangle UP/DOWN", color: lime/red
Condition: Movement of MA(5) of RSI (9) of price (close )
2) Long2/Short2 = ">", color: lime/red
Condition: Long/Short condition is true for 2 or more bars (= continuation)
3) Long3/Short3 = "•", color: lime/red
Condition: MA RSI (Close) crosses MA RSI ( Volume )
1 or more alerts can easily be disabled if desired (settings > inputs)
Thanks!

Visual RSI [LucF]Visual RSI offers a different way of looking at RSI by providing a composite representation of 9 different RSI-generated components. Instead of focusing on one line only, this approach blends multiple sources to provide the viewer with a larger context RSI-based picture.
For those who don’t want to read
• Green in bullish (>50) zone is the most bullish.
• Red in bullish zone doesn’t necessarily mean bearish—it just means bullish strength is weakening. It may be just a pause before a reprise or exhaustion signalling a reversal—impossible to tell.
• The same in inverse applies to the bearish zone (<50).
For those who want to understand
The nine components making up Visual RSI are:
• a current timeframe RSI
• a higher timeframe RSI
• the delta between these two RSI lines
• for each of these three basic components, two independent Bollinger band: one calculated for the bullish section of the scale (>50) and a separate one calculated for the lower bearish region.
Dual BBs
In my view, RSI’s position with regards to the centerline is much more important than its position in extreme areas. Why? Because the building block of RSI is the ratio of the averages of up/down moves during the RSI period. When the average of ups is greater, RSI is > 50. So while a rising signal starting from 20 let’s say, indicates that the rate of change is increasing, only when it crosses 50 can we say that sentiment balance has truly become bullish, and this information is more reliable than the signal being at a level corresponding to whatever estimate we make of what constitutes an extreme value. In my landscape, the general balance of a ratio provides more valuable information than the ratio’s exact value.
The idea behind the dual BBs is to provide independent tracking information for both halves of the indicator’s space, which I find more useful than the normal method of simply adding a multiple of the standard deviation on both sides of the mean. With dual BBs, the upper BB will never go lower than the indicator’s centerline, and the lower BB will never go higher. The upper BB focuses on upper-bound volatility when the signal is bearish, and the lower BB focuses on downside volatility when the signal is bearish.
The functions used to calculate the independent BBs are reusable on other signals if a centerline can be defined for them. A clamping percentage is implemented, so that when a BB line is hugging the centerline it clamps to it. This helps in providing earlier signals when they use the BB line states.
Providing context to RSI
What RSI measures indirectly is the balance in the rate of change—or the speed of price movement, but not its instant value, otherwise RSI would be even noisier. More precisely, RSI represents the relative strength of the up/down movement in the last n bars of RSI’s length, with 14 often used because that’s what Wilder proposed (Visual RSI’s defaults are 20 for the current timeframe and 40 for the higher timeframe). At every bar, a new value is added to the equation and an old value carrying equal weight is dropped, so a large dropped off value will have more impact on RSI’s value if the new bar’s move is small. This accounts for some of RSI’s speed in identifying exhaustion after important moves, but almost for some of its noise.
Visual RSI is the result of trying to drown RSI’s noise in the context of other informational streams, while simultaneously providing even faster information than RSI alone, by giving more visual weight to the delta between the current and higher timeframe RSI’s.
How to read Visual RSI
The default settings show all 9 basic components as green/red areas of intensities varying with their importance. The most intense colors are reserved for the delta RSI and the BBs have the lightest intensities. The individual lines of components are intentionally difficult to distinguish so that focus is first on the general picture, including the all-important six-state background, and then on the delta RSI.
One entry setup could be reversals in a larger trend context, so low pivots of the delta in a fully bullish context (a green background in the upper section of the indicator), and inversely, high pivots in a fully bearish context (a red background in the lower section of the indicator).
Please resist the common misconception, when interpreting RSI, that a reversal in the signal will necessarily lead to a reversal in price. Each trend has its rhythm. Only machine-generated price action can progress regularly. It’s normal for trends to take a breather for some time before they continue or reverse, as traders driving the trend experience emotional fatigue and gradual fear. RSI reversals merely signify that such a breather has occurred—nothing more. Only the larger context can provide information that can situate that pause and put more meaningful odds on it having more probability of continuing in one direction or the other. This is the reasoning behind the setup just described.
Features
• All components can be hidden, displayed as a simple line, a uniformly colored fill, or a green/red fill (the default).
• The background can be colored using 9 different methods, including 3 six-state methods using the rising/falling BB lines of the 3 basic components. These six states allow for bullish/bearish/neutral sentiment in both the upper and lower regions of the indicator. A bearish (dark red) background in the bullish (>50) section of the indicator represents decreasing bullishness. A bearish (slightly brighter red) in the bearish (<50) section of the indicator means incresingly bearish sentiment. The six-state backgrounds allow for neutral (no color) sentiment when no compelling signs can be found to conclude anything with meaningful odds. The default background uses the six-state method on the higher timeframe RSI’s BBs because I find it the most useful, as it represents the largest—and slowest—context sentiment among all the indicator’s components.
• A thin status bar in the top part of the indicator also allows selection of the same 9 methods to color it. The default is a triple-state system using the rising/falling characteristics of the current timeframe RSI’s BBs to provide a short-term counterbalance to the long-term background.
• Three different markers can be configured using approximately 70 permutations each, each filtered by 20 different filter permutations. When modification of the relevant parameters in the script’s Settings/Settings/Parameters section is added, possibilities are almost endless. If the generated signals are then fed into the PineCoders Engine and combined with the Engine’s own options, the permutations go up another order of magnitude, and changes to any setting can be instantly evaluated using the Engine’s backtesting results.
• Five simple filters can be combined. They are additive. They include volume-related conditions and a chandelier, which I find useful because both volume and volatility (the chandelier using highs/lows and ATR) are sensible complementary sources to RSI’s momentum information. The filter’s state can be shown as a thin line at the bottom of the indicator.
• Alerts can be configured using any of the marker/filter combinations mentioned. As usual, once your markers/filters are set up the way you want, create your alert from the chart/timeframe you want the alert to run on and be sure to use the “Once Per Bar Close” triggering condition. Use an alert message that will remind you of which combination of markers were used when creating the alert.
• A plot providing entry signals for the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine is supplied. It will use whichever marker/filter configuration is active to generate signals.
• All higher timeframe information is non-repainting. Higher timeframe lines can be smoothed (the default). The selection of the higher timeframe can be made using 3 different methods:
1. By steps (if current timeframe <= 1 minute: 60 min, <= 60 min: 1D, <= 6H: 3D, <= 1D: 1W, <=1W: 1M, >1W: 12M)
2. By a user-defined multiple of the current timeframe
3. Using a fixed timeframe

Chaikin Oscillator HystogramThis indicator shows an hystogram with the Chainkin Oscilator values, with color changes in function of the direction (up/down) . Also show the 0 crossovers, up and down.
Chaikin Oscillator gets its name from its creator, Marc Chaikin.
The Chaikin Indicator applies MACD to the accumulation-distribution line rather than closing price.
For me it's very usefull to identify (or confirm) trends up and trends down.
All my published scripts:
es.tradingview.com
Percentage OscillatorUsing momentum calculations on multiple time frames and adding everything together into 4 separate directions:
1- green: the strength and momentum in +45 to +90 degrees angle
2- blue: the strength and momentum in 0 to +45 degrees angle
3- orange: the strength and momentum in 0 to -45 degrees angle
4- red: the strength and momentum in -45 to -90 degrees angle
Single parameter to control the size of the largest moving window.
Uptrend is green with orange corrections
Downtrend is red with blue corrections
When downtrend turns into uptrend, blue becomes green
When uptrend turns into downtrend, orange becomes red
The natural cycle of the market is RED->BLUE->GREEN->ORANGE and so on, you will see the cycle repeats itself 3 times before a break up\down. The strength of the movement depends on the height and width of all the waves that created the 3 cycle movement (reminds Elliot in an oscillatory representation)
The script is provided as is, there are no trading strategies implied or recommended.

Advanced Candlestick Patterns [vitruvius]This is a very advanced indicator that detects most commonly used candlestick patterns. Please read this document carefully to understand how it works.
It is tailored to identify patterns that only have a great possibility of signaling a price movement. In other words, it can and will ignore some patterns, even though they satisfy the recognition conditions defined in the books. Candlestick patterns should also satisfy some other conditions in this indicator to be valid and you can modify those conditions.
This indicator is not only about identifying the candlestick patterns. By using the different choices, you can:
Avoid fake signals
Confirm patterns
Increase your possibility to win a trade
Reduce risk
Identify bullish/bearish movements better
Recommended Use
This indicator works best when you:
Use it in the daily time frame
Combine it with Support/Resistance areas
Note: For some candlestick patterns, you have the option of confirming the pattern with the next price action. In those cases, there will be obviously one bar delay (because it will wait for one more bar to close to confirm the pattern). However, it will mark the candlestick where it identifies the pattern and it will have ”Confirmed” in its text.
Important Note
This indicator does some serious calculations and checks for a lot of user inputs. Therefore, it might be a little slow. Please give it some time when it needs to do some computing.
MODULES
Trend Detection
Most of the patterns in this script are trend reversal patterns. So, recognition of the candlestick patterns depends heavily on the trend. In fact, even if you do not select a trend detection method, it will use the SMA method as default where it needs a certain trend in identifying a specific pattern.
It is possible to combine multiple trend detection methods. You can see how this affects the overall trend detection by enabling the background coloring.
Note: There might be some cases where a candle has a bullish/bearish confirmation of the same candlestick pattern . In those cases, the script is unable to identify the move and the user should decide if the identified pattern is bullish or bearish.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Color the background according to the trend?
If you select a trend detection method, it will color the background green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend .
Counter the trend when there is no obvious trend?
If you select multiple trend detection methods, there might be some cases where one of the methods indicates an uptrend and the other one indicates a downtrend . In that case, the script will continue with the previous trend (whatever the trend is one bar ago) by default . You can, however, reverse the trend in those cases by using this option. If you choose to reverse, you might catch the trend early .
Use MACD to detect the trend?
Use MACD to detect the trend. Whenever MACD delta is greater or equal to zero, it is an uptrend .
MACD Fast Length
Fast length of MACD.
MACD Slow Length
Slow length of MACD.
MACD Signal Smoothing
Signal smoothing value of MACD. Please note that it is set to 6 by default.
Use SMA to detect the trend?
Use SMA to detect the trend. If the price closes above the SMA line, it is an uptrend
SMA Length
Length of SMA.
Use the average price of previous candles to detect the trend?
If the average of open and close prices constantly go up for n bars that are determined by the next user input, it is an uptrend .
Number of candles to analyze
The number of bars ( n ) to analyze for the average price method.
Use the closing price of the previous candle to detect the trend?
If the difference between the current close and nth previous bar’s close is greater than the given threshold, it is an uptrend .
Position of the previous candle to analyze
Position of the bar (backward) to compare with the current close price.
Threshold for the closing price
The threshold value for closing price method.
Basic Candlestick Patterns
This module detects Doji, Spinning Top, Marubozu candlestick patterns. Also, you can set some specific options that are going to be used in all candlestick patterns.
Note: If you choose to manually enter the body height of a doji , you need to find the optimal value for different timeframes. Different timeframes have difference price action ranges.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Tolerate opening/closing price of the candle?
When a candlestick pattern needs to have a gap between two candles, you can tolerate the opening/closing prices of the one candle. This option is useful where the opening and closing prices are very close. This option is going to be used in all candlestick patterns.
Factor for tolerating opening/closing price
The more the factor is, the more the tolerance is.
Body/Height ratio for a candle to be considered as Bullish/Bearish
A bullish/bearish candle shouldn’t have too much shadow. You can use this option to determine the shadow length of a bullish/bearish bar. This option is going to be used in all candlestick patterns
Use basic candlestick pattern (Doji, Spinning Top, Marubozu)?
Detect doji, spinning top, marubozu candlestick patterns.
Manually set body of Doji?
You can manually set the body height of a doji. Otherwise, it will be calculated automatically. If you choose to use this option, then spinning top, and marubozu will also be calculated based on this.
Body of Doji
Body height of a bar to be considered as doji . Any bar with a body equal or less than the given value will be marked as doji. Only effective if you check the ”Manually set body of Doji?” option .
Verify a Doji by looking at the preceding candle?
If true, it will only mark dojis if the preceding candle is bullish or bearish.
Single Candlestick Patterns
This module detects Hammer, Hanging Man, Inverted Hammer, Shooting Star single candlestick patterns.
Below are the inputs of this module:
Confirm Single Candlestick Patterns with next closing price?
You can confirm a single candlestick pattern with the next closing price. That is, if the next candle closes above the previous one, it will confirm a bullish movement. If the next candle closes below the previous one, it will confirm a bearish movement.
Use Hammer and Hanging Man Single Candlestick Patterns?
Detect hammer and h anging man single candlestick patterns.
Use Inverted Hammer and Shooting Star Single Candlestick Patterns?
Detect inverted hammer and s hooting star single candlestick patterns.
Dual Candlestick Patterns

Detect tweezer bottoms and tweezer tops dual candlestick patterns.
Check the shadow equality of Tweezer Bottom and Tops?
Check if the shadows of the tweezer bars are about the same length.
Detect Harami Dual Candlestick Pattern?
Detect harami dual candlestick pattern.
Use High/Low of the second Harami candle instead of Open/Close price?

Detect Inside Bar Dual Candlestick Pattern?
Detect inside bar dual candlestick pattern.
Treat Inside Bar as a reversal pattern?
If checked, inside bar will be treated as a bullish/bearish reversal pattern.
Check if the Inside bar formed in the upper/lower half of the Mother bar?
Check if the inside bar forms within the upper/lower body half of the mother. Then it will be treated as a bullish/bearish inside bar .
Detect the Inside Bar only if the previous candle closes outside of the Keltner channel?
This option effects identifying the inside bar . Such that, an inside bar will be detected only if the previous candle closes outside of Keltner Channel . Inside bars are effective when the market is extended and this is a nice way to check for that.
Confirm Inside Bar with the next close breaching the low/high of the inside bar?
Check if the next bar breaches inside bar’s high/low. Then it will be treated as a bullish/bearish inside bar .
Use Piercing Line and Dark Cloud Cover Dual Candlestick Patterns?

Kawabunga Swing Failure Points Candles (SFP) by RRBKawabunga Swing Failure Points Candles (SFP) by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
This indicator shows Swing Failure Points (SFP) and Swing Confirmation Points (SCP) as candles on a chart.
SFP/SCP candles are used by traders as signals for trend confirmation/possible reversal.
The signal is stronger on a higher volume/larger candle size.
A Swing Failure Point (SFP) candle is used to spot a reversal:
- up trend SFP is a failure to close above prev high after making a new higher high => implies reversal down
- down trend SFP is a failure to close below prev low after making a new lower low => implies reversal up
A Swing Confirmation Point (SCP) candle is just the opposite and is used to confirm the current trend:
- up trend SCP is a successful close above prev high after making a new higher high => confirms the trend and implies continuation up
- down trend SCP is a successful close below prev low after making a new lower low => confirms the trend and implies continuation down
Features:
- uses fractal pivots with optional filter
- show/hide SFP/SCP candles, pivots, zigzag, last min/max pivot bands
- dim lag zones/hide false signals introduced by lagging fractals or
- use unconfirmed pivots to eliminate fractal lag/false signals. 2 modes: fractals 1,1 and highest/lowest
- filter only SFP/SCP candles confirmed with volume/candle size
- SFP/SCP candles color highlighting, dim non-important bars
Usage:
- adjust fractal settings to get pivots that best match your data (lower values => more frequent pivots. 0,0 - each candle is a pivot)
- use one of the unconfirmed pivot modes to eliminate false signals or just ignore all signals in the gray lag zones
- optionally filter only SFP/SCP candles with large volume/candle size (volume % change relative to prev bar, abs candle body size value)
- up/down trend SCP (lime/fuchsia) => continuation up/down; up/down trend SFP (orange/aqua) => possible reversal down/up. lime/aqua => up; fuchsia/orange => down.
- when in doubt use show/hide pivots/unconfirmed pivots, min/max pivot bands to see which prev pivot and min/max value were used in comparisons to generate a signal on the following candle.
- disable offset to check on which bar the signal was generated
Notes:
Fractal Pivots:
- SFP/SCP candles depend on fractal pivots, you will get different signals with different pivot settings. Usually 4,4 or 2,2 settings are used to produce fractal pivots, but you can try custom values that fit your data best.
- fractal pivots are a mixed series of highs and lows in no particular order. Pivots must be filtered to produce a proper zigzag where ideally a high is followed by a low and another high in orderly fashion.
Fractal Lag/False Signals:
- only past fractal pivots can be processed on the current bar introducing a lag, therefore, pivots and min/max pivot bands are shown with offset=-rightBars to match their target bars. For unconfirmed pivots an offset=-1 is used with a lag of just 1 bar.
- new pivot is not a confirmed fractal and "does not exist yet" while the distance between it and the current bar is < rightBars => prev old fractal pivot in the same dir is used for comparisons => gives a false signal for that dir
- to show false signals enable lag zones. SFP/SCP candles in lag zones are false. New pivots will be eventually confirmed, but meanwhile you get a false signal because prev pivot in the same dir was used instead.
- to solve this problem you can either temporary hide false signals or completely eliminate them by using unconfirmed pivots of a smaller degree/lag.
- hiding false signals only works for history and should be used only temporary (left disabled). In realtime/replay mode it disables all signals altogether due to TradingView's bug (barcolor doesn't support negative offsets)
Unconfirmed Pivots:
- you have 2 methods to check for unconfirmed pivots: highest/lowest(rightBars) or fractals(1,1) with a min possible step. The first is essentially fractals(0,0) where each candle is a pivot. Both produce more frequent pivots (weaker signals).
- an unconfirmed pivot is used in comparisons to generate a valid signal only when it is a higher high (> max high) or a lower low (< min low) in the dir of a trend. Confirmed pivots of a higher degree are not affected. Zigzag is not affected.
- you can also manually disable the offset to check on which bar the pivot was confirmed. If the pivot just before an SCP/SFP suddenly jumps ahead of it - prev pivot was used, generating a false signal.
- last max high/min low bands can be used to check which value was used in candle comparison to generate a signal: min(pivot min_low, upivot min_low) and max(pivot max_high, upivot max_high) are used
- in the unconfirmed pivots mode the max high/min low pivot bands partially break because you can't have a variable offset to match the random pos of an unconfirmed pivot (anywhere in 0..rightBars from the current bar) to its target bar.
- in the unconfirmed pivots mode h (green) and l (red) pivots become H and L, and h (lime) and l (fuchsia) are used to show unconfirmed pivots of a smaller degree. Some of them will be confirmed later as H and L pivots of a higher degree.
Pivot Filter:
- pivot filter is used to produce a better looking zigzag. Essentially it keeps only higher highs/lower lows in the trend direction until it changes, skipping:
- after a new high: all subsequent lower highs until a new low
- after a new low: all subsequent higher lows until a new high
- you can't filter out all prev highs/lows to keep just the last min/max pivots of the current swing because they were already confirmed as pivots and you can't delete/change history
- alternatively you could just pick the first high following a low and the first low following a high in a sequence and ignore the rest of the pivots in the same dir, producing a crude looking zigzag where obvious max high/min lows are ignored.
- pivot filter affects SCP/SFP signals because it skips some pivots
- pivot filter is not applied to/not affected by the unconfirmed pivots
- zigzag is affected by pivot filter, but not by the unconfirmed pivots. You can't have both high/low on the same bar in a zigzag. High has priority over Low.
- keep same bar pivots option lets you choose which pivots to keep when there are both high/low pivots on the same bar (both kept by default)
SCP/SFP Filters:
- you can confirm/filter only SCP/SFP signals with volume % change/candle size larger than delta. Higher volume/larger candle means stronger signal.
- technically SCP/SFP is always the first matching candle, but it can be invalidated by the following signal in the opposite dir which in turn can be negated by the next signal.
- show first matching SCP/SFP = true - shows only the first signal candle (and any invalidations that follow) and hides further duplicate signals in the same dir, does not highlight the trend.
- show first matching SCP/SFP = false - produces a sequence of candles with duplicate signals, highlights the whole trend until its dir changes (new pivot).

Renko CandlesticksRenko charts are awesome . They reduce noise by only painting a brick on the chart when price moves by a specified amount up/down. When the price reverses, it must go twice the specified amount before a brick is painted. Time is not a factor, just price movement. Sometimes however, you want the pros of a renko chart, but on a regular candlestick chart. This indicator attempts to do just that.
A band is placed around price action showing the upper and lower bounds of what would be the current renko brick. The band only goes up/down when the price action itself moves up/down by the amount you specify. There are several ways of specifying the amount:
Fixed Price Amount: As the name says, you enter the brick size amount, i.e. the amount the price has to move before being in a new brick.
% of Price: This method will calculate the amount the price has to move as a percentage of the price itself. This way as price goes up/down, your brick size will adjust accordingly. Recommended values would be around 1% or less.
% of ATR: This option will make the brick size a percentage of the Average True Range. You can specify the ATR time frame to be different from your current time frame as well as the ATR length. For instance you could be on a 10 minute chart but specify the ATR to be daily with a length of 3 and a percentage amount of 15. This would make your brick size 15% of the Average True Range for the last 3 days. Recommended values are 10 to 20%.
Use this indicator on any time frame, even the 1 minute as the renko bands span the price action the same way on any time frame easily letting you know whether or not the price has moved appreciably, regardless of how much time has passed.
You can also set alerts easily, simply set the alert to crossing and choose “Renko Candlesticks” instead of “Value”. You will then see the options for the renko upper and lower bounds.
Tested on Bitcoin with the following values:
Fixed Price Amount: 30 ($30)
% of Price: 0.45 (if Bitcoin is $7000 then the brick size would be $31.50)
% of ATR: 15%, ATR Time Frame: 1D, ATR Length: 3 (3 days)
TtM - The Phenomenal Five‘TtM - The Phenomenal Five’ Indicator
NOTE: I am NOT a professional trader. I DO NOT provide investment advice. This content and the data provided in the indicator is based on my live and simulated, personal observations and is ONLY intended for educational purposes. YOU are responsible for ALL your trading decisions and ALL subsequent tax ramifications. Past performance DOES NOT guarantee future results.
‘The Phenomenal Five’ refers to a specific group of five underlying indicators. That is how the indicator got its name. It is a slimmed down version of a prior indicator called ‘The Score Card’. The majority of those previous features got transferred to a new indicator called ‘The Calculator’. That new indicator represents the core of how I presently trade. Although nothing is perfect, ‘The Calculator’ was designed for short term scalps. In my case, those scalps usually range above the 2% mark.
With that being said, there were still features of ‘The Score Card’ that were extremely helpful visual aids. The display of those features, although still very important, could not be coded into a normal, lower indicator. That is why I separated out those five necessities into this indicator.
Here is a list of the features contained within ‘The Phenomenal Five’:
1. Automated Fibonacci Lines: Even though the display is simple, this feature took quite a bit to accomplish. Behind the scenes, it is tracking downward moves. It calculates from the MOST RECENT Pivot High (100%) as its beginning point and continues down to the MOST RECENT lowest low (0%) as its ending point. It then automatically projects Fibonacci Retracement Lines upward based on that downward move. The display of those lines will statically continue until a new lowest low is established OR a new Pivot High is reached. In either of those cases, the display will automatically readjust accordingly. The default values of the 5 adjustable, colored lines are as follows:
Level #1 Orange Line: 23.6%
Level #2 Lime Green Line: 38.2%
Level #3 Blue Line: 50.0%
Level #4 Purple Line: 61.8%
Level #5 Red Line: 78.6%
2. Highlighted Consolidation Zones: Consolidation may not be the right technical trading term here. However, I use it to help explain areas where price is within a range of indecision and is consolidating across a few bars. The yellow highlighted areas, especially the ones with a smaller quantity of bars and a tighter range, help train my eye to spot similar zones which may not meet the exact criteria of the indicator itself. I use the areas I spot AND the areas the indicator highlights as potential profit targets. In other words, instead of forcing my exit decision or a specific percentage as the outcome of a trade, I let the market tell me where to exit. My assumption is that once a trade starts heading in my direction that it would at least gravitate to the middle of the last area of indecision which is quite possibly a yellow Highlighted Consolidation Zone or at least a location I RECOGNIZED as similar to the highlighted areas.
3. Profit Projection Line: This is a line that rides at a specific percentage above current price. In my case, that percentage is 2%. (That number can be adjusted on the ‘Inputs’ window of the indicator.) I use this line combined with the yellow highlighted areas AND locations I define as important visual aids. If, for example, I want to only look at trades that potentially offer 2% or more profit, I can quickly glance at a chart and see if a setup is worth digging into deeper. In other words, if the Profit Projection Line is already above my profit target (yellow highlighted area OR one I recognize), then I move onto the next setup. On the other hand, if the line is below the zone(s), I get a little more interested in working through my trade decision process.
4. Pivot Highs and Lows: A Pivot High, as structured in this indicator, has 10 bars to the left AND 10 bars to the right of the High Bar that ALL closed lower than the close of the High Bar. A Pivot Low, as structured in this indicator, has 10 bars to the left AND 10 bars to the right of the Low Bar that ALL closed higher than the close of the Low Bar. There is NO guarantee that price is going to adjust itself at the High Bar, but based on the data, that adjustment is a logical assumption. However, the main problem is that once a Pivot High or Low has completed, price is already 10 bars past the High Bar. The point is that Pivots, both High and Low, provide real good indications of possible market sentiment, but they are a definitely a ‘lagging’ portion of the indicator.
Note: For visual reference, the indicator is coded to display on the High/Low Bar, even though the full Pivot did not complete until 10 bars later.
With that being said, I also have ‘The Phenomenal Five’ coded to display what might be considered 1/2 of a Pivot High or Low. In this case, the indicator DOES NOT take into account any bars to the right. Instead, I have what I call possible 8’s, 9’s and 10’s. This version of the Pivots, both High and Low, are displayed in purple boxes on the chart. An *8* High will only appear when the prior 8 bars closed lower than that interim High Bar. A *9* Low will only appear when the prior 9 bars closed higher than that interim Low Bar and so on.
Here is the reasoning behind these pseudo Pivots. Let’s assume I locate a bounce in the market and wanted to enter a trade. If an *8* High displayed, I may think twice about that entry. There are obviously NO guarantees, but perhaps the upward move I was looking to catch has already moved to far to sustain the profit percentage I desired. On the other hand, let’s assume I was looking for an early indication of a possible bounce. There are obviously NO guarantees, but if an *8* Low, then *9* Low and *10* Low displayed on the most recent 3 bars, I might be more confident in an earlier entry to catch a larger portion of the potential bounce.
5. Zig Zag Line: Price action on a chart can be quite annoying. It moves up, down, sideways or in whatever direction it wants whenever it wants to. I use the Zig Zag Line as a visual aid to help smooth out that chaos. It helps drown out some of the choppiness when I am in the heat of the battle trying to make a trading decision.
Be aware, that the Zig Zag Line is far from perfect. It is somewhat more of a hack than pure coding. It combines various readings across a different timeframe to even have a chance at being somewhat visually correct. The question then becomes, why did I code it into ‘The Phenomenal Five’? The answer is simple. None of my decisions depend on the line. Basically, it just tells me where I am at on the chart. So, in my case, I don’t mind a little imperfection in this visual aid. Additionally, the free version of TradingView allows for only 3 indicators on a chart. By combining a less than perfect version here, I freed up one of those slots. However, if I had an available slot on my charts for an additional indicator, I would use the TradingView, built-in Zig Zag tool. My personal settings for that tool are Deviation 0.00001, Depth 10 and I have the ‘Extend To Last Bar’ box checked. To disable my Zig Zag Line, I simply UNcheck the ‘Zig Zag Display’ box on the style page of the indicator.
Note: Just about everything (including, lines, levels, percentages and colors) within ‘The Phenomenal Five’ is adjustable. It’s as simple as clicking on the ‘gear’ icon to the right of the name of the indicator. From there, the ‘Input’ page controls the settings and the ‘Style’ page controls the colors. I can make my updates, hit ‘SAVE’ and in essence I have a new indicator that calculates based off the new edits. That makes things REAL EASY to change for further testing purposes.

This indicator has pretty much every possible scenarios to use the Ichimoku indicator effectively. I have also added consecutive ups/downs input, so you can avoid false signals and trade safely.
You can combine different options together. In that case, Buy or Sell signals will be triggered if at least one of the condtions is true.
Please report the bugs you found with a screenshot of the chart. Please make sure that the time stamp is visible, and also include the inputs you selected so I can reproduce the problem and fix it.
Please provide some feedback so we can improve this indicator together.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
The strategy of this indicator is available here:
Impulses-1Lines "Total Up Impulses" and "Total Down Impulses" are the sum of impulses in the last n periods (Length).
line 1 => "Total Up Impulses": the sum of up impulses.
line 2 => "Total Down Impulses": the sum of down impulses.
When line 1 crosses up line 2, it indicates an uptrend is comming out.
When line 1 crosses down line 2, it indicates a downtrend is comming out.
