UM EMA SMA WMA HMA with Directional Color ChangeUM EMA SMA WMA HMA with Directional Color Change
Description:
This is a Swiss Army knife type of Moving Average tool. Select your favorite Moving Average type, EMA - Exponential Moving Average, SMA - Simple Moving Average, WMA - Weighted Moving Average, or HMA - Hull Moving Average. Then selection your number of periods. The MA line is green when trending higher and red when trending lower. The fill between price and the MA line matches the red/green of the direction.
Defaults and Configuration:
The default setting is 65 period and EMA. Line colors and optional fill colors are user-configurable.
Alerts:
An alert can be set on the MA for directional color changes (red to green, or green to red) Right click the indicator and select Add Alert. Then select Bullish or Bearish color change.
Suggested Uses:
Add this to any timeframe chart with your favorite Moving averages. A strategy I use frequently is to "stretch" the Moving average. For example if you like the 8 day moving average on the daily chart, try the 52 period Moving average on the hourly chart. (6.5 market hours per day * 8) By looking at smaller time frames with longer MAs you get smoother color transitions on the Moving average. Add multiple instances of the MA. I prefer to use a smaller quick MA with a longer MA that represents a longer time frame.
Another use case I also like is the color transition over a Moving Average crossover. While I do like the daily 2/6 and 8/3 moving average crossovers, red-to-green and green-to-red color transitions seem to work with less lag than the crossovers.
Suggested Settings:
Daily charts: 8 EMA
Hourly charts: 55 EMA
30 minute charts: 65 WMA. (I like this one for inverse ETFs)
3 minutes charts: 178 EMA and 233 EMA
I also like to round MA settings up or down to the nearest fibonacci number: 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, etc.

Four Supertrend By Baljit AujlaThis Pine Script is an implementation of a "Four Supertrend" indicator by Baljit Aujla. It calculates and plots four Supertrend indicators based on the Average True Range (ATR) method, allowing for different ATR periods and multipliers for each line.
Here is an explanation of the key components:
Inputs
1:- ATR Periods: Four different periods for ATR, adjustable by the user (defaults: 10, 11, 12, 13).
2:- ATR Multipliers: Four different multipliers for the ATR, adjustable by the user (defaults: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0).
3:- Source: The data source used for calculation, default is the average of high and low prices (hl2).
4:- Change ATR Calculation Method: Option to switch between the traditional ATR and a simple moving average of true range (SMA of TR).
5:- Signal Display- Options to show buy/sell signals and highlight trends.
Logic:
The script computes four separate Supertrend lines using the ATR method for each line. For each of the four lines, it calculates an uptrend and downtrend threshold, and the trend direction changes when the close price crosses these thresholds.
For each trend line:
1. Uptrend and Downtrend Calculation: The script uses ATR-based bands above and below the price. The uptrend line is calculated by subtracting the ATR multiplied by a given multiplier from the source price, and the downtrend line is calculated by adding the ATR multiplied by a multiplier to the source price.
2. Trend Reversal Logic: The trend switches based on the price action relative to the uptrend and downtrend lines. If the price moves above the downtrend, it signals a switch to an uptrend, and vice versa for a downtrend.
3. Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend changes from negative to positive (down to up), and sell signals occur when the trend changes from positive to negative (up to down).
Plots:
The script plots:
Uptrend and Downtrend Lines: These are visualized as green and red lines for each trend.
Buy/Sell Signals: Small circles are drawn on the chart when a trend change occurs (buy and sell signals).
Trend Highlighting: Background highlighting is applied to show when the market is in an uptrend (green) or downtrend (red).
Alerts:
The script has commented-out alert conditions (alertcondition), which can be enabled to send notifications when a buy or sell signal occurs, or when a trend change happens.
Enhancements:
1. Background Highlighting: This is an option to visually emphasize uptrends and downtrends by filling the background with respective colors.
2. Signal Visibility: You can toggle whether to show the buy/sell signals on the chart.
3. ATR Calculation Method: Option to change the ATR calculation method (using SMA of TR vs the default ATR).
The script is useful for identifying multi-timeframe trends with adjustable parameters and provides both signals and visual markers on the chart to aid in trading decisions.
Issues and Improvements:
The code seems to be truncated, specifically for the last Supertrend line (Line 4). To fully complete the functionality for the fourth line, the logic for up4, down4 and tread4 needs to be finished, similar to the other three lines.
Would you like help finishing the script for the fourth line or improving specific parts of it?
Eze Profit Range Detection FilterThe Range Detection Filter is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify range-bound market conditions and focus on breakout opportunities. It combines the ATR (Average True Range) for volatility analysis and the ADX (Average Directional Index) for trend strength evaluation to highlight consolidation phases and alert traders when the market is ready to break out.
This indicator provides visual cues and customizable alerts, making it suitable for traders looking to avoid false signals during choppy markets and capitalize on trending moves following a breakout.
What Makes It Unique?
ATR for Volatility:
Measures market volatility by comparing ATR with its moving average.
Consolidation phases are flagged when ATR remains below its moving average for a sustained period.
ADX for Trend Strength:
Monitors trend strength, confirming range-bound conditions when ADX falls below a user-defined threshold (default: 20).
Combines with ATR to ensure accurate detection of trendless periods.
Breakout Alerts:
Notifies traders of breakout opportunities when the price moves outside the highest high or lowest low of the range.
How It Works:
Range Detection:
The market is considered "in range" when:
ATR is below its moving average, indicating low volatility.
ADX is below the threshold, confirming a lack of trend strength.
Visual Indication:
A yellow background highlights range-bound conditions, allowing traders to avoid low-probability trades.
Breakout Detection:
Alerts are triggered for breakouts above or below the range to help traders identify potential opportunities.

RSI Momentum [CrossTrade]The RSI Momentum indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossing specific thresholds. The Key difference is that we're using RSI overbought and oversold readings as the foundation for finding continuation signals in the same direction of that momentum. This solves the issue of trying to buy the bottom or sell the top and offsets any oscillators main weakness, divergence and false signals in a strong trend.
Key Parameters:
RSI Length: Determines the calculation period for the RSI.
Overbought Threshold: The RSI level above which the asset is considered overbought.
Momentum Loss Threshold for Buy: The RSI level below which a loss in upward momentum is indicated, triggering a potential buy signal.
Oversold Threshold: The RSI level below which the asset is considered oversold.
Momentum Loss Threshold for Sell: The RSI level above which a loss in downward momentum is indicated, triggering a potential sell signal.
Allow Additional Retracement Signals: A toggle to allow more than one signal within a certain number of bars after the first signal.
Max Additional Signals: The maximum number of additional signals allowed after the first signal.
Buy Signal Logic:
Initial Signal: Generated when the RSI first exceeds the overbought threshold and then falls below the momentum loss buy threshold. Defaults are 70 for the overbought threshold and 60 for the retracement level.
Additional Signals for Deeper Retracements: If enabled, the script shows additional buy signals within the maximum limit set by Max Additional Signals. These additional signals are shown only if each new signal's bar has a lower low than the previous signal's bar.
Sell Signal Logic:
Initial Signal: Similar to the buy signal, a sell signal is generated when the RSI first drops below the oversold threshold and then rises above the momentum loss sell threshold. Defaults are 30 for the oversold threshold and 40 for the retracement level.
Additional Signals for Deeper Retracements: If enabled, additional sell signals are shown, limited by Max Additional Signals, and only if each new signal's bar has a higher high than the previous signal's bar.
Continuation Signals in Strong Trends:
The script allows for a new series of signals (starting with the first signal again) when the RSI pattern repeats. For buy signals, this means going above the overbought and then below the momentum loss buy threshold. For sell signals, it's dropping below oversold and then above the momentum loss sell threshold.
Alerts:
The script includes alert conditions for both buy and sell signals, which can be configured in the TradingView alerts.
Enhanced Market Influence DashboardDescription
The "Enhanced Market Influence Dashboard" (EMID) is a sophisticated trading indicator developed in Pine Script, designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of the market's influences by analyzing a diverse set of financial instruments. This script integrates various market data, calculates dynamic weights based on volatility, and combines them into a composite score to help traders identify significant market movements.
Concept and Methodology
The EMID indicator aggregates data from multiple financial instruments, including forex pairs, commodities, indices, and ETFs. By calculating the median and volatility of these instruments over user-defined timelines, it dynamically adjusts their weights to reflect current market conditions. The composite score generated from these weighted values helps traders understand the overall market influence and detect significant movements.
Key Features
Market Data Integration: The script fetches real-time data from various symbols such as USD/JPY, Gold, Dollar Index (DXY), US Treasury Rate, VIX Index, Crude Oil, EUR/USD, Emerging Market Index, QYLD ETF, and Nasdaq 100 Futures.
1. Dynamic Weight Calculation: The script calculates dynamic weights for each instrument based on their volatility relative to their simple moving average. This approach ensures that more volatile instruments have a proportionally higher impact on the composite score.
2. Median and Volatility Analysis: It uses the median value and standard deviation over specified timelines to gauge the central tendency and volatility of each instrument.
3. Composite Score Generation: By normalizing the difference between current prices and their respective medians, and applying dynamic weights, the script generates a composite score that reflects the overall market sentiment.
4. Baseline Calculation: A dynamic baseline is computed as the median of the composite score over the lookback period, providing a reference point for identifying significant deviations.
5. Alerts: The script includes alert conditions to notify traders of significant market movements, either above or below the baseline by a threshold value.
Usage
To use the EMID indicator, follow these steps:
1. Input Configuration: Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading strategy. The key inputs include:
-Median Timeline: The period for calculating the median values.
-Volatility Timeline: The period for calculating volatility.
-Base Weights: Set the base weights for each financial instrument according to their perceived influence on the market.
-Adding the Indicator: Apply the EMID indicator to your chart in TradingView. Ensure that the symbols used in the script are relevant to your trading strategy and available in your TradingView subscription.
2. Interpreting the Composite Score: The composite score plotted on the chart gives an aggregated view of market influences. Compare the composite score with the baseline to identify significant market movements.
-A composite score significantly above the baseline indicates a potential market uptrend.
-A composite score significantly below the baseline indicates a potential market downtrend.
-Setting Alerts: Use the alert conditions to set up notifications for significant market movements. These alerts help you stay informed about critical changes in market sentiment.
Underlying Calculations
1. Median Calculation: The median function is applied to each instrument's price data over the specified timeline.
2. Volatility Calculation: Volatility is calculated as the standard deviation divided by the simple moving average over the volatility timeline.
3. Dynamic Weight Application: Base weights are multiplied by the respective volatility values to get dynamic weights.
4. Normalized Scores: The script normalizes the difference between current prices and their medians, then multiplies by the dynamic weights to get individual scores.
5. Composite Score: Summing all normalized and weighted scores results in the composite score.
6. Baseline: The baseline is the median of the composite score over the median timeline.
By integrating multiple market influences and dynamically adjusting weights based on volatility, the EMID indicator provides a robust tool for traders to analyze market conditions and make informed trading decisions.

Naresh CE with 13 62 crossThank you to Lauris, for sharing knowledge and logic for the EMA cross-over (13/62).
The provided Pine Script is a custom script, which is designed to display Chandelier Exit levels on the price chart and generate buy and sell labels based on specific conditions.
Here's a breakdown of the key components and logic of the Pine Script:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
ema1: The 13-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price.
ema2: The 62-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price.
EMA Plotting:
The script plots the ema1 (13 EMA) and ema2 (62 EMA) lines on the price chart using the plot() function.
Chandelier Exit Calculation:
The Chandelier Exit values are calculated using the Average True Range (ATR).
The script calculates the atr (Average True Range) using the atr() function with the given length.
longStop is calculated as the highest price of the specified length minus the ATR, and shortStop is calculated as the lowest price plus the ATR.
Directional Indicator (dir):
The dir variable is used to determine the direction of the Chandelier Exit based on the comparison of the current close price with the previous long and short stops.
Buy and Sell Signals:
The script generates buy signals when the Chandelier Exit direction changes from short to long (buySignal).
Similarly, sell signals are generated when the Chandelier Exit direction changes from long to short (sellSignal).
The conditions for buy and sell signals are based on the value of dir and its previous value.
Buy and Sell Labels:
Buy and sell labels are plotted on the chart using plotshape() based on the generated buy and sell signals.
The showLabels input parameter controls whether to display the buy and sell labels.
Highlighting States:
The script fills the chart area with color (green for long, red for short) based on the direction of the Chandelier Exit values.
The highlightState input parameter controls whether to apply this highlighting.
Alerts:
The script includes alert conditions based on the direction change (changeCond), buy signal (buySignal), and sell signal (sellSignal) using the alertcondition() function.
The script aims to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals based on the Chandelier Exit levels derived from the 13 EMA and 62 EMA crossovers. The Chandelier Exit values can serve as dynamic stop-loss levels for long and short positions.
Buy / Sell Fractal Algorithm with SL Line GenerationThis algorithm is designed for usage across indices.
How it works?
The algorithm uses a variation of fractals, momentum, RSI and LRSI to determine a trends direction.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to measure the speed (velocity) and change (magnitude) of directional price movements. It provides a visual means to monitor both the current and historical strength and weakness of a particular market. The strength or weakness is based on closing prices over the duration of a specified trading period, creating a reliable metric of price and momentum changes
Momentum in trading refers to the direction and magnitude of price. Momentum plays a key role in assessing trend strength, and it is important to know when a trend is slowing down. Less momentum does not always lead to a reversal, but it does signal that something is changing, and the trend may consolidate or reverse
Fractals are patterns within price changes which are repeated across thousands of bars. Examples of fractals include the golden ratio, PHI and the spirals of the milk way. They are quite literally a universal concept.
Basics of usage:
When a bullish trend is detected; the algorithm will generate a green "SL Line" at a calculated point, which can be interpreted as an invalidation line.
If the price goes below this line, the bullish trend is invalidated. So long as it holds, the bullish trend is true until the next detection change.
When a bearish trend is detected; the algorithm will generate a red "SL Line", at a calculated point, which can be interpreted as an invalidation line.
If the prices goes above this line, the bearish trend is invalidated. So long as it holds, the bearish trend is true until the next detection change.
When a given trend is invalidated, the SL Line turns yellow and you enter a "pause zone", where neither a bearish nor bullish trend is calculated.
This resets itself on the next trend detection.
Additional information:
I have coded my own backtest to this algorithm, along with plotting the profit / loss of each generated trade.
The profit is calculated by the difference between the open bar of the trade after a long ( or short ) and the following trade.
If we are calculating a short, the resulting value is then multiplied by -1 to get a positive integer.
For calculating a loss we take the value of the open bar of the trade that generates a long, and take the difference between this and the SL line, and similarly for short positions. The code assumes the user is placing their SL at the indicated line.
Within the input settings there are a few customisation options:
Alpha & Fractal Energy Length & Source - Should not be changed.
Highly bands crossover? - Has no visible effect whether on or off. It refers to the fractal chart which in this iteration is not visible and rather a backend mechanic.
Apply fractal energy? - Should generally be left turned on. This is a noise reduction. Disabling will result in over-trading.
Apply normalization? - Has no impact, is solely used to make the fractal values more human-readable rather than decimal format.
Offset - refers to the offset value of the SL Line generations. This should be set to a value that gives you enough breathing room, and remember to include any spreads! Default is 0.2, written in %
Trading hours - This simply gives a session input for the trading hours you want to trade within, and then colours the background green for that session. Trading 24/7 is never a wise strategy, stick to whatever is most optimal for you.
Leverage - Whatever leverage you are using. Default is x20. This will affect the profit / loss calculations accordingly.
Start equity - refers to the equity value you want to backtest with. Some assets will generate NA for this in the backtest label explained later.
Label customisation options.
Note that the backtest label is by default hidden, and appears when you hover over the black label at the current bar. When enabled to visible, it will show a large text label that may cover your chart screen more than you wish.
Alerts -
There are dozens of alert functionalities here; first are the timeframe assignments for each alert, set by default to 2hrs.
These timeframes then affect the asset you select in the corresponding setting.
In total there are 8 additional assets you can set alerts for.
Once you have assigned the timeframe and asset for an alert, you can then check the tick box for that individual alert.
Once done, you set the alert as normal through the tradingview alerts window. Remember to set "alert function calls only"
-
Timers:
I have added some functionality for timers to be set, values are in minutes. These work on the exact time of placement. Do not change the extra symbol formula option.

Note that this backtest is not intended as a replacement for tradingview backtest, nor is there a guarantee that historical results are to be replicated in the future. Trading is inherently risky.
Strat Dashboard [TFO]The Strat Dashboard tracks up to 10 signals while highlighting common strat reversal patterns, the SSS 50% rule, timeframe continuity, and some additional criteria with VWAP and moving averages.
With the strat, all price action bars/candles are simplified into 3 total possibilities: 1 (inside bar), 2 (a bar that takes the previous bar's high OR low), and 3 (outside bar). The first table column for Last X Candles shows the most recent candles according to this notation, for example, 1 - 2D - 2U. This would mean we had an inside bar, followed by a bar that took the previous bar's low, followed then by a bar that took the previous bar's high. Note that the colors in this column are set according to whether the current bar's close exceeds the previous bar's high/low. By default, these colors are green if above the previous bar's highs, or red if below the previous bar's lows. If the current close is in between the previous candle's high and low (even after already taking the prior high or low), no color will be applied.
The SSS 50% column shows a yes or no value for whether the current bar aligns with the SSS 50% rule, where a bar has taken either the previous high or low, and has since reversed to at least the midway point of the previous bar's height - essentially anticipating a 2 that may become a 3 (outside bar).
Timeframe continuity (TFC) shows a yes or no value for when the current candle on multiple timeframes are all green or red (above the open price or below the open price, respectively). For example, if you were looking at the current 15m, 1h, and 1D bars, and they were all above the open price, you could say there's TFC between all three timeframes. As of the initial release, you can select up to 3 different timeframes. The table values will only be true when all selected timeframes are in alignment. When setting alerts, first deselect the timeframes if you don't want TFC logic to impact alerts.
The "Last" column shows the last strat reversal pattern that was confirmed (after the last bar closes). Waiting for a candle close is the safer option since a 2 can turn into a 3; however for higher timeframes, it may be beneficial to make an update to this indicator in which you can have live alerts as well (not waiting for a candle close). You can select which strat reversals you want to be shown from the settings. Various strat reversals may be selected for alerts of type "Any"; for example, if setting up an alert for "Any" strat reversal on Symbol 1, then this alert will go off when any of the *selected* strat reversals occur for that specific symbol. Deselect any strat reversals that you don't want to be included in these alerts.
Lastly, the EMA and VWAP columns simply show whether price is above or below said value. This tracks the current candle close, and may repaint/change several times if the current bar is oscillating above and below these values.
MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)
This chart overlay indicator is based upon the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and can signal multiple triple-timeframe CCI overbought and oversold confluences directly onto your chart, intended for use as a confluence either for reversal trade entries, or potential trade exits, indicating where price may be probable to reverse.
Features include:
- Primary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Secondary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Optional drawing of background colours and/or ribbon seen at bottom of the chart image.
- The default primary MTF #1 timeframes are set to 1 minute, 5 minute and 15 minute. These are highly suitable for low timeframe scalpers trading on < 5m charts, and can often pin point price reversals.
- The default Secondary MTF #2 timeframes are set to 15 minute, 30 minute and 120 minute. These are suitable for both low timeframe scalpers and considerably higher timeframe traders.
- Independent alerts for MTF #1 and MTF #2 triple-timeframe confluences, including options for alerting MTF overbought and MTF oversold individually, as well as an option for alerting either overbought or oversold in a single combined alert.
- Also includes standard configurable CCI options, including CC length and source type.
Note: The features listed above are accurate at the time of publishing but maybe updated or added to in future.
A similar MTF CCI indicator is also available as a panel indicator here .
This indicator is based upon the original MTF Fantastic Stochastic (FS+) available here .
What is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)?
Investopedia has described the popular oscillator as follows:
“The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold.
Developed by Donald Lambert, this technical indicator assesses price trend direction and strength, allowing traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position. In this way, the indicator can be used to provide trade signals when it acts in a certain way.”
You can read more about the CCI , its use cases and calculations here .
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is traditionally when the CCI is above the 100 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the -100 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the CCI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the CCI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the CCI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the CCI . While traditionally, the overbought and oversold levels are below -100 for oversold, and above 100 for overbought, the default threshold settings of this indicator have been increased to provide fewer, stronger signals, especially suited to the low timeframes and highly volatile assets.
Fibonacci Zone Study w/Candles - R3c0nTraderCredits:
Thank you "eykpunter" for granting me permission to use "Fibonacci Zones" to create this study
What does this do? How is it different?
This study was created so it can be used with the strategy 'Fibonacci Zone DCA Strategy - R3c0nTrader' in order to generate buy/sell signals for a 3Commas bot.
I was not able to use "eykpunter's" "Fibonacci Zones" to create these signals as it was missing the code for this. To create the buy or sell signal you need to be able to create an alert for when the price moves through the Fib levels. Unfortunately, the "price" is not available to be selected when creating an alert with the original study. Hence the need to create this new study and to resolve the issue.
This study has overlay turned off by default so it will appear in a separate pane below your active chart. I did this so I can clearly view and separate the strategy from the study.
Steps Overview:
Add the study to your chart
Configure the study to match the Fib length you used in the strategy.
Create Alerts from the study to generate the buy or sell signals to 3Commas
The below steps for creating signals are just examples! Since there are numerous ways you can open or close a trade from a signal, please do your own testing. This cannot be understated.
Example of how to generate buy signals:
After adding the study, select the three dots for this study and click on "Add an alert on Fibonacci Zone Study /w Candles…"
Setup the condition to trigger the alert. If you want to initiate a buy when the price crosses over the top of the lower Fib zone (downtrend zone), then use the following:
Condition>Fibonacci Zone Study>Price High>Crossing Up>Fibonacci Zone Study>Top-Low Fib Border
Options>Once per bar
Expiration>Open-ended
Alert actions>Webhook URL (use the 3Commas webhook URL)
Alert name>Enter a name, "BUY Paper-Fib-Bot"
Message>Use the 3Commas message from the paper bot to open the trade
Example of how to generate sell signals:
After adding the study, select the three dots for this study and click on "Add an alert on Fibonacci Zone Study /w Candles…"
Setup the condition to trigger the alert. If you want to initiate a sell when the price reaches the top of the High Fib zone (uptrend zone), then try the following:
Condition>Fibonacci Zone Study>Price High>Crossing Up>Fibonacci Zone Study>Top-High Fib Border
(Note: I used "Crossing Up" but "Crossing" is another option; I just haven't tested it yet with a paper bot)
Options>Once per bar
Expiration>Open-ended
Alert actions>Webhook URL (use the 3Commas webhook URL)
Alert name>Enter a name, "SELL Paper-Fib-Bot"
Message>Use the 3Commas message from the paper bot to close the trade
MTF Oscillator Framework [PineCoders]This framework allows Pine coders to quickly build a complete multi-timeframe oscillator from any calculation producing values around a centerline, whether the values are bounded or not. Insert your calculation in the script and you have a ready-to-publish MTF Oscillator offering a plethora of presentation options and features.
█ HOW TO USE THE FRAMEWORK
1 — Insert your calculation in the `f_signal()` function at the top of the "Helper Functions" section of the script.
2 — Change the script's name in the `study()` declaration statement and the `alertcondition()` text in the last part of the "Plots" section.
3 — Adapt the default value used to initialize the CENTERLINE constant in the script's "Constants" section.
4 — If you want to publish the script, copy/paste the following description in your new publication's description and replace the "OVERVIEW" section with a description of your calculations.
5 — Voilà!

█ OVERVIEW
This oscillator calculates a directional value of True Range. When a bar is up, the positive value of True Range is used. A negative value is used when the bar is down. When there is no movement during the bar, a zero value is generated, even if True Range is different than zero. Because the unit of measure of True Range is price, the oscillator is unbounded (it does not have fixed upper/lower bounds).
True Range can be used as a metric for volatility, but by using a signed value, this oscillator will show the directional bias of progressively increasing/decreasing volatility, which can make it more useful than an always positive value of True Range.
The True Range calculation appeared for the first time in J. Welles Wilder's New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems book published in 1978. Wilder's objective was to provide a reliable measure of the effective movement—or range—between two bars, to measure volatility. True Range is also the building block used to calculate ATR (Average True Range), which calculates the average of True Range values over a given period using the `rma` averaging method—the same used in the calculation of another of Wilder's remarkable creations: RSI.
█ CONCEPTS
This oscillator's design stems from a few key concepts.
Relative Levels
Other than the centerline, relative rather than absolute levels are used to identify levels of interest. Accordingly, no fixed levels correspond to overbought/oversold conditions. Relative levels of interest are identified using:
• A Donchian channel (historical highs/lows).
• The oscillator's position relative to higher timeframe values.
• Oscillator levels following points in time where a divergence is identified.
Higher timeframes
Two progressively higher timeframes are used to calculate larger-context values for the oscillator. The rationale underlying the use of timeframes higher than the chart's is that, while they change less frequently than the values calculated at the chart's resolution, they are more meaningful because more work (trader activity) is required to calculate them. Combining the immediacy of values calculated at the chart's resolution to higher timeframe values achieves a compromise between responsiveness and reliability.
Divergences as points of interest rather than directional clues
A very simple interpretation of what constitutes a divergence is used. A divergence is defined as a discrepancy between any bar's direction and the direction of the signal line on that same bar. No attempt is made to attribute a directional bias to divergences when they occur. Instead, the oscillator's level is saved and subsequent movement of the oscillator relative to the saved level is what determines the bullish/bearish state of the oscillator.
Conservative coloring scheme
Several additive coloring conditions allow the bull/bear coloring of the oscillator's main line to be restricted to specific areas meeting all the selected conditions. The concept is built on the premise that most of the time, an oscillator's value should be viewed as mere noise, and that somewhat like price, it only occasionally conveys actionable information.
█ FEATURES
Plots
• Three lines can be plotted. They are named Main line , Line 2 and Line 3 . You decide which calculation to use for each line:
• The oscillator's value at the chart's resolution.
• The oscillator's value at a medium timeframe higher than the chart's resolution.
• The oscillator's value at the highest timeframe.
• An aggregate line calculated using a weighed average of the three previous lines (see the Aggregate Weights section of Inputs to configure the weights).
• The coloring conditions, divergence levels and the Hi/Lo channel always apply to the Main line, whichever calculation you decide to use for it.
• The color of lines 2 and 3 are fixed but can be set in the "Colors" section of Inputs.
• You can change the thickness of each line.
• When the aggregate line is displayed, higher timeframe values are only used in its calculation when they become available in the chart's history,
otherwise the aggregate line would appear much later on the chart. To indicate when each higher timeframe value becomes available,
a small label appears near the centerline.
• Divergences can be shown as small dots on the centerline.
• Divergence levels can be shown. The level and fill are determined by the oscillator's position relative to the last saved divergence level.
• Bull/bear markers can be displayed. They occur whenever a new bull/bear state is determined by the "Main Line Coloring Conditions".
• The Hi/Lo (Donchian) channel can be displayed, and its period defined.
• The background can display the state of any one of 11 different conditions.
• The resolutions used for the higher timeframes can be displayed to the right of the last bar's value.
• Four key values are always displayed in the Data Window (fourth icon down to the right of your chart):
oscillator values for the chart, medium and highest timeframes, and the oscillator's instant value before it is averaged.
Main Line Coloring Conditions
• Nine different conditions can be selected to determine the bull/bear coloring of the main line. All conditions set to "ON" must be met to determine the bull/bear state.
• A volatility state can also be used to filter the conditions.
• When the coloring conditions and the filter do not allow for a bull/bear state to be determined, the neutral color is used.
Signal
• Seven different averages can be used to calculate the average of the oscillator's value.
• The average's period can be set. A period of one will show the instant value of the oscillator,
provided you don't use linear regression or the Hull MA as they do not work with a period of one.
• An external signal can be used as the oscillator's instant value. If an already averaged external value is used, set the period to one in this indicator.
• For the cases where an external signal is used, a centerline value can be set.
Higher Timeframes
• The two higher timeframes are named Medium timeframe and Highest timeframe . They can be determined using one of three methods:
• Auto-steps: the higher timeframes are determined using the chart's resolution. If the chart uses a seconds resolution, for example,
the medium and highest resolutions will be 15 and 60 minutes.
• Multiples: the timeframes are calculated using a multiple of the chart's resolution, which you can set.
• Fixed: the set timeframes do not change with the chart's resolution.
Repainting
• Repainting can be controlled separately for the chart's value and the higher timeframe values.
• The default is a repainting chart value and non-repainting higher timeframe values. The Aggregate line will thus repaint by default,
as it uses the chart's value along with the higher timeframes values.
Aggregate Weights
• The weight of each component of the Aggregate line can be set.
• The default is equal weights for the three components, meaning that the chart's value accounts for one third of the weight in the Aggregate.
High Volatility
• This provides control over the volatility filter used in the Main line's coloring conditions and the background display.
• Volatility is determined to be high when the short-term ATR is greater than the long-term ATR.
Colors
• You can define your own colors for all of the oscillator's plots.
• The default colors will perform well on both white and black chart backgrounds.
Alerts
• An alert can be defined for the script. The alert will trigger whenever a bull/bear marker appears in the indicator's display.
The particular combination of coloring conditions and the display of bull/bear markers when you create the alert will thus determine when the alert triggers.
Once the alerts are created, subsequent changes to the conditions controlling the display of markers will not affect the existing alert(s).
• You can create multiple alerts from this script, each triggering on different conditions.
Backtesting & Trading Engine Signal Line
• An invisible plot named "BTE Signal" is provided. It can be used as an entry signal when connected to the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine as an external input.
It will generate an entry whenever a marker is displayed.
Look first. Then leap.
Volume Momentum [LucF]Volume momentum gives much more information than a simple volume MA. It does require interpretation however, since increasing volume momentum can indicate strengthening of both an up or down movement. Volume momentum peaks and bottoms are also interesting as they often lead to shifts in price movement.
In order to help interpretation, I color rising volume momentum using price momentum. Green indicates volume-supported upward price movement and red indicates volume-supported downward price movement.
As to falling volume momentum, in my world view it indicates exhaustion or disinterest which requires prior price activity to be interpreted. In strong and steady price movements it can indicate a mere pause. After high price volatility often signalling a top or bottom, falling volume momentum often leads reversals.
Features
Two optional MAs on the main volume momentum line, with crosses on the short MA.
A higher time frame line (shown by default), with the higher time frame being a user-defined multiple of the current chart’s interval. The default is 8, so that a 15m chart will also show a 2h volume momentum.
Two Markers
Tops/Bottoms (marker 1): these occur on high/low price momentum pivots situated in favorable regions, combined with volume momentum peaks.
Pauses/Reversals (marker 2): these simply identify volume momentum high pivots that often lead to shifts in price movement. They are not directional. You can choose to color bars where these markers occur (shown on chart).
You can show only long or short markers.
Alerts
You can define alerts on any combination of markers you configure. After defining the markers you want the alert to trigger on, make sure you are on the interval you want the alert to be monitoring at, then create the alert, select Volume Momentum, use the default “Configured Markers” alert condition and choose your triggering window (usually “Once Per Bar Close”). Once the alert is created, you can change the indicator's inputs with no effect on the alert.
Use Cases
The higher time frame line is very useful in situating current volume activity in a larger context.
I consider all peaks in volume momentum as potentially significant events.
When looking for an entry, I will often wait for the descending volume momentum to change direction at a shorter interval, using price momentum to confirm that increasing volume is working in my favor.
Volume momentum variations can often inform otherwise insignificant price momentum activity.
Here I use price momentum to color volume momentum; inversely, I also use volume momentum to color my momentum indicator.
Notes
Where the markers on my Volume Columns indicator focus on confirming strength of price movements, this indicators’ markers try to focus on shifts in price movement.
My volume momentum is calculated using a smoother variant of CCI which came to be known as WaveTrend.
