Halt-Risk Guard (5-min / 10%) — TTP Safe🛑 Halt-Risk Guard (5-min / 10%) — TTP Safe
Stay clear of halts, invalidations, and over-extended moves.
🔍 Overview
The Halt-Risk Guard helps traders avoid sudden invalidations by monitoring price velocity over the past X minutes (default: 5 min) and flagging when moves exceed a configurable threshold (default: 10%).
Originally built to meet Trade The Pool (TTP) risk-management rules — where even non-halted 10% moves can void trades — this tool provides a clear, visual warning system and optional entry blocker.
⚙️ Key Features
✅ Halt-Risk Detection – Calculates both reference-based and swing-based (high↔low) percentage change over the chosen lookback period.
✅ TTP Safe Mode – “Swing mode” captures extreme volatility spikes that may invalidate trades even when the market stays open.
✅ Entry Blocker (optional) – Automatically greys candles and dims the background during risky conditions to prevent impulsive entries.
✅ Customisable Positioning – Move the on-chart info box to any corner of your chart (Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right).
✅ Clean Alerts –
⚠️ At/Above Threshold
✅ Back to Safe
⛔ Entry Blocker Active
✅ Visual Table Display – Compact dashboard shows current % move, lookback window, and threshold with intuitive green/red status.
✅ Strategy-Ready Output – A hidden 0/1 plot lets you block or filter trades in automated systems.

Uptrick: Volume Weighted BandsIntroduction
This indicator, Uptrick: Volume Weighted Bands, overlays dynamic, volume-informed trend channels directly on the chart. By fusing price and volume data through volume-weighted and exponential moving averages, the script forms a core trend line with adaptive bandwidth controlled by volatility. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, breakout entries, and extended conditions that may warrant take-profits or pullback re-entries.
Overview
The Volume Weighted Bands system is built around a trend line calculated by averaging a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), both over a configurable lookback period. This hybrid trend baseline is then smoothed further and expanded into dynamic upper and lower bands using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier. These bands adapt with market volatility and shift color based on prevailing price action, helping traders quickly identify bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Originality and Unique Features
This script introduces originality by blending both price and volume in the core trend calculation, a technique that is more responsive than traditional moving average bands. Its multi-mode visualization (cloud, single-band, or line-only), combined with selective buy/sell signals, makes it flexible for discretionary and algorithmic strategies alike. Optional modules for take-profit signals based on z-score deviation and RSI slope, as well as buy-back detection logic with cooldown filters, offer practical tools for managing trades beyond simple entries.
Explanation of Inputs
Every user input in this script is included to give the trader control over behavior and visual presentation:
Trend Length (len): Defines the lookback window for both the VWMA and EMA, controlling the sensitivity of the core trend baseline. A lower value makes the bands more reactive, while a higher value smooths out short-term noise.
Extra Smoothing (smoothLen): Applies an additional EMA to the blended VWMA/EMA average. This second-level smoothing ensures the central trend line reacts gradually to shifts in price.
Band Width (ATR Multiplier) (bandMult): Multiplies the ATR to create the width of the upper and lower bands around the trend line. Larger values widen the bands, capturing more volatility, while smaller values narrow them.
ATR Length (atrLen): Sets the length of the ATR used in calculating band width and signal offsets. Longer values produce smoother band boundaries.
Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles the primary crossover/crossunder entry signals, which are labeled when the close crosses the upper or lower band.
Visual Mode (visualMode): Allows selection between three display modes:
--> Cloud: Shows both bands and the central trend line with a shaded background.
--> Single Band: Displays only the active (upper or lower) band depending on trend state, with gradient fill to price.
--> Line Only: Shows only the trend line for a minimal visual profile.
Take Profit Signals (enableTP): Enables a z-score-based profit-taking signal system. Signals occur when price deviates significantly from the trend line and RSI confirms exhaustion.
TP Z-Score Threshold (tpThreshold): Sets the z-score deviation required to trigger a take-profit signal. Higher values reduce the frequency of signals, focusing on more extreme moves.
Re-Entries (enableBuyBack): Enables logic to signal when price reverts into the band after an initial breakout, suggesting a possible re-entry or pullback setup.
Buy Back Cooldown (bars) (buyBackCooldown): Defines a minimum bar count before a new buy-back signal is allowed, preventing rapid retriggering in choppy conditions.
Buy Offset and Sell Offset: Hidden inputs used to vertically adjust the placement of the Buy ("𝓤𝓹") and Sell ("𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷") labels relative to the bands. These use ATR units to maintain proportionality across different instruments and timeframes.
Take-Profit Signal Module
The take-profit module uses a z-score of the distance between price and the trend line to detect extended conditions. In bullish trends, a signal appears when price is well above the band and RSI indicates exhaustion; the opposite applies for bearish conditions. A boolean flag is used to prevent retriggering until RSI resets. These signals are plotted with minimalist “X” markers near recent highs or lows, based on whether the market is extended upward or downward.
Re-Entry Logic
The re-entry system identifies instances where price momentarily dips or spikes into the opposite band but closes back inside, implying a continuation of the prevailing trend. This module can be particularly useful for traders managing entries after brief pullbacks. A built-in cooldown period helps filter out noise and prevents signal overloading during fast markets. Visual markers are shown as upward or downward arrows near the relevant candle wicks.
How to Use This Indicator
The basic usage of this indicator follows a directional, signal-driven approach. When a buy signal appears, it suggests entering a long position. The recommended stop loss placement is below the lower band, allowing for some breathing space to accommodate natural volatility. As the position progresses, take partial profits—typically 10% to 15% of the position—each time a take-profit signal (marked with an "X") is shown on the chart.
An optional feature is the buy-back signal, which can be used to re-enter after partial exits or missed entries. Utilizing this can help reduce losses during false breakouts or trend reversals by scaling in more gradually. However, it also means that in strong, clean trends, the full position may not be captured from the start, potentially reducing the total return. It is up to the trader to decide whether to enter fully on the initial signal or incrementally using buy-backs.
When a sell signal appears, the strategy advises fully exiting any long positions and immediately switching to a short position. The short trade follows the same logic: place your stop loss above the upper band with some margin, and again, take partial profits at each take-profit signal.
Visual Presentation and Signal Labels
All signals are plotted with clean, minimal labels that avoid clutter, and are color-coded using a custom palette designed to remain clear across light and dark chart themes. Bullish trends are marked in teal and bearish trends in magenta. Candles and wicks are also colored accordingly to align price action with the detected trend state. Buy and sell entries are marked with "𝓤𝓹" and "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" labels.
Summary
In summary, the Uptrick: Volume Weighted Bands indicator provides a versatile, visually adaptive trend and volatility tool that can serve multiple styles of trading. Through its integration of price, volume, and volatility, along with modular take-profit and buy-back signaling, it aims to provide actionable structure across a range of market conditions.

21 SMA over 200 SMA Bullish Cross Highlighter21 SMA Over 200 SMA — Momentum Cross for BTC Scalpers
A precise and lightweight indicator designed to highlight when short-term momentum aligns with the broader Bitcoin trend.
It visualizes when the 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) crosses above the 200-period SMA, often signaling the beginning of a sustained directional move — especially effective on the 1-minute BTC chart during trending market conditions.
Core Concept
When the 21 SMA crosses above the 200 SMA on Bitcoin during an active uptrend, the probability increases that price will continue rising as short-term traders and algorithms join the move.
This indicator helps you identify that momentum shift in real time and react before the breakout gains full traction.
Features
Clear visual label for every bullish cross (21↑200)
Optional bearish cross labels (21↓200)
Optimized for 1m, 5m, and 15m BTC charts
Lightweight and efficient — ideal for multi-chart scalping layouts
Built-in alert conditions for manual alert setup
Excellent synergy with VRVP (Visible Range Volume Profile) for confirming volume-based breakout zones
Suggested Use
Focus on the 1-minute Bitcoin chart for early signals.
When a bullish cross appears, use VRVP to locate high-volume nodes or breakout levels for precise entries.
Confirm alignment on 5m or 15m charts before executing.
Combine with RSI, Stoch RSI, or volume analysis to refine timing and manage risk.
Trading Insight
The 21/200 SMA relationship has long been a trusted tool for trend identification.
When both averages slope upward and the cross occurs above a strong VRVP volume zone, it often marks the start of a new impulsive leg in BTC ideal for short-term scalps or the first confirmation of a broader trend continuation.
Created for disciplined BTC scalpers who value structured setups, clarity, and confirmation through data rather than noise.
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman) builds a vertical, price-by-price profile that blends total participation with balance quality. Instead of plotting raw volume alone, it weights each price bin by:
how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
how compressed price was inside that bin,
how often price revisited it.
The result spotlights fair value and acceptance zones while still revealing momentum/imbalance areas—ideal for reading rotation vs. trend, continuation vs. exhaustion, and the prices that truly matter.
Highlights
Balanced score that fuses delta symmetry, price compression, and hit frequency.
Optional heat spectrum for instant read of participation density and balance strength.
POC-like auto highlight of the dominant price level within the lookback window.
Works across timeframes for session profiling, swing context, or regime shifts.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The script scans a fixed History Length and divides the full high–low span into Bin Count price bins. For every bar in the window, its volume is proportionally distributed across the bins it overlaps, so wide-range bars contribute across multiple bins, while narrow bars concentrate where they traded most. This yields per-bin totals for:
Total Volume (participation)
Positive / Negative Volume (up vs. down bar contribution)
Hit Count (how often price touched the bin)
Average Price Range (mean bar range inside the bin; a proxy for compression)
⚪ Delta & Direction
For each bin, delta symmetry is measured via the ratio of |pos − neg| to total volume. Bins with balanced two-sided flow score higher than one-sided, runaway bins. This curbs the tendency of raw volume profiles to over-reward impulsive bursts.
⚪ Balance Score
Each price bin gets a balance score that multiplies three normalized components:
Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
Durability: rewards bins revisited often (configurable via Hits Weight).
A Min Hits Filter removes flimsy, single-touch bins from dominating the score. The profile can display pure totals or Average Mode (Vol/Hit) to compare bins fairly when hit counts differ.
⚪ Display & Heat Spectrum
The final plotted bar length per bin is the display volume (total or average) weighted by the balance score and normalized to 100.
POC-like Highlight: The 100% bin is outlined (and labeled) when Highlight Max Volume Bin is ON.
Heat Spectrum (optional): A background gradient scales with normalized bar length and balance hue.
Balance Hue: Interpolates between Balance Low/High Colors so high-balance bins visually pop as “accepted value.”
█ How to Use
The profile is effectively a map of price acceptance:
High, bright bars = strong participation at balanced prices → fair value/rotation zones.
Thin, muted bars = poor acceptance → imbalance or transition areas.
POC-style level = most influential price in the lookback window.
⚪ Find Fair Value & Acceptance
Thick, high-balance bins mark value. Expect rotation: price often revisits or oscillates around these areas. They’re prime zones for mean-reversion fades, scale-ins, and risk-defined trades against the edges.
⚪ Identify Imbalance & Funnels
Low-balance, low-hit bins often act like air pockets—price can move through them quickly. These zones are helpful for continuation trades into thin areas or for timing breakout pulls back into acceptance.
⚪ POC Dynamics
When price leaves the POC and returns, watch for re-acceptance (price comes back into the POC or high-balance zone and stays there.) vs. rejection (trend continuation away from value). The auto-highlight makes this quick to judge.
█ Settings
History Length – Bars scanned for the profile. Longer = broader context, slower to adapt.
Bin Count – Vertical resolution of bins between the window’s min and max price.
Display Shift – Offsets the rendering rightward for clarity.
Average Mode (Vol/Hit) – ON uses average volume per visit; OFF uses total volume.
Volume Momentum Weight – Emphasizes two-way flow; higher values favor balanced bins over one-sided deltas.
Price Momentum Weight – Emphasizes compression; higher values favor narrow-range, coiling price action.
Hits Weight – Rewards bins revisited often; higher values favor durable acceptance.
Min Hits Filter – Minimum visits a bin needs to qualify for the balance score.
Show Heat Spectrum – Background gradient for quick read of density and balance.
Highlight Max Volume Bin – Outline + raw volume label for the dominant bin.
Max Volume Color – Color used for that highlight.
Balance Low/High Colors – Gradient endpoints for balance hue across the profile.

Scissors&Knifes V3.1✂️ The Scissors (PAG Chop V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Scissors measure market compression and breakout readiness.
They use a modified Choppiness Index that looks at the relationship between:
True Range volatility (ATR × period length)
The total high–low range over the same window.
The smaller the ratio (sum of TR vs range), the more directional and impulsive the market is.
The higher the ratio, the more “sideways” the market trades.
This version smooths the result over PAG_SMOOTHLEN bars and applies several color bands that correspond to volatility states.
🎨 Color code meaning
Range State Color Interpretation
≤ 30 Strong Red #8B0000 Momentum exhaustion on downside, sellers dominating — about to reverse or already strong down-trend.
30 – 38 Brick Red #A52A2A Fading downside pressure; often the “bleeding edge” of a bearish climax.
38 – 55 Transparent black (α≈100) Neutral chop zone — indecision, range-building.
55 – 61.8 Yellow (optional) #DAA520 Early compression pocket where volatility starts contracting; the calm before a trend.
61.8 – 70 Bright Green #556B2F Energy release phase: volatility breaking out upward.
≥ 70 Strong Green #355E3B Sustained bullish drive, often continuation leg of a trend.
🪶 Secret nuance:
The transition bands (38–45 and 45–55) are treated as fully transparent to mark “dead zones.”
When PAG Chop sits here, all label activity pauses — the system resets its cluster memory so the next colored print begins a new “cluster”, letting you clearly see where fresh directional momentum starts.
🧩 Cluster logic
Every time a colored (non-transparent) reading appears, it belongs to a “color cluster.”
Grey labels (= count 1) mark the genesis of a new cluster, and following counts 2, 3, 4 … represent the internal continuity of that trend state.
You can optionally hide the first N grey or count 2 labels to reduce clutter on the initial stabilization bars.
✂️ Label meaning
Each label shows:
Emoji ✂️
Current count (e.g. ✂️ = 3 means 3 timeframes are simultaneously firing)
Optional list of the timeframes that contribute.
So a high count (e.g. 8–10) means many lower TFs are synchronizing volatility breakout — a multiframe alignment, often just before an acceleration burst.
🔪 The Knife (Mr Blonde V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Mr Blonde converts the slope of a long EMA into an angle-of-attack metric — literally the “tilt” of market momentum.
It computes the EMA gradient relative to price span and rescales it into degrees (-5 ° to +5 °).
The steeper the angle, the stronger the directional push.
🎨 Color code meaning
Angle range Color Interpretation
≥ +5 ° Transparent (Black 1) Fully over-extended up move — wait for reset.
+3.57 – +5 ° Dark Red Strong upward slope, momentum apex.
+2.14 – +3.57 ° Orange Medium upward slope, trend acceleration zone.
+0.71 – +2.14 ° Light Orange Mild upward bias, pre-momentum phase.
0 to -0.71 ° Yellow Neutral transition.
-0.71 – -2.14 ° Olive Green Soft bearish slope.
-2.14 – -3.57 ° Olive Drab Building bearish momentum.
-3.57 – -5 ° Hunter Green Strong downward angle, aggressive push.
≤ -5 ° Transparent (Black 2) Oversold/over-tilted — likely exhaustion.
🪶 Secret nuance:
Mr Blonde uses a “span normalization” factor that divides EMA slope by the dynamic range of highs and lows.
This lets it compare angles fairly across assets with different volatility profiles (e.g. BTC vs ES) — it’s one of the rare EMA-angle implementations that self-scales properly.
🗡 Label meaning
Emoji 🔪
Count = how many TFs share the same momentum angle bias.
When many TFs show the same slope polarity (e.g. knife = 8), you’re in a deep momentum cascade — a “knife trend.”
💫 Yellow knife
The yellow state marks neutrality or slope flattening.
If you enable yellow visibility (mb_show_yellow), you can see where momentum cools off — often the earliest reversal hint.
⚙️ Shared mechanics between ✂️ and 🔪
Multi-timeframe sweep
The script cycles through 1 m → 10 m by default, running both engines once per TF.
Each returning true adds +1 to the count.
So:
sc_hits = count of timeframes where PAG fires + 1
knife_hits = count of timeframes where MB fires + 1
That “+1 shift” means there’s always at least 1, letting count = 1 represent the local TF itself.
Cluster limiter
If Limit max labels per cluster is on, you cap how many total symbols (both ✂️ & 🔪, including trails) can appear within one color phase — avoiding chart spam during extended trends.
Trails
Each printed label seeds a short-lived “trail” sequence — faded copies extending N bars forward.
Trails visualize the linger effect of the last signal, useful for visually connecting bursts in momentum.
Grey or count = 1 labels can have shorter or longer trails depending on your overrides (*_trail_bars_grey).
They’re purely visual and do not affect alerting.
Alerts
Alerts fire independently of whether you hide labels — unless you enable “respect filters”.
This guarantees you never miss a structural signal even if you suppress visuals for clarity.
🌈 Interpreting Both Together
Scenario Interpretation
✂️ = low (1–2) + 🔪 rising (red/orange) Market just leaving chop, early thrust stage.
✂️ = high (≥ 5) + 🔪 green Fully aligned breakout continuation — trend in progress.
✂️ = yellow cluster + 🔪 yellow Volatility squeeze, energy buildup — next expansion near.
✂️ = green cluster → 🔪 turns red Cross-state conflict; likely transition or correction.
✂️ = grey + 🔪 grey Reset condition — both engines cooling; stand aside.
💡 Hidden edge:
Scissors signal potential, Knife measures kinetic force.
The perfect storm is when ✂️ goes from yellow→green one bar before 🔪 shifts from orange→green — it catches the birth of directional flow while volatility is still tight.
🧭 Reading the labels intuitively
Grey ✂️/🔪 = 1 → embryonic state, may fizzle or bloom.
✂️/🔪 = 2 or 3 → expansion taking hold.
✂️/🔪 ≥ 4 (mid black) → strong synchronized drive across TFs.
Transparent gap → cluster reset; prepare for new phase.
Trail lines → echo of previous cluster strength.
Final secret tip 🗝
Because both engines are mathematically uncorrelated (volatility vs EMA angle), when they agree in color polarity on multiple TFs, you have one of the cleanest probabilistic trend windows possible.
If you ever see ✂️ = 6 + 🔪 = 6 both pointing the same way — that’s a “knife-through-the-scissors” moment: volatility expansion and directional slope synchronized — those are the bars where institutional algorithms tend to add size.
Auto Fibonacci LevelsAuto Fibonacci Momentum Zones with Visible Range Table
Overview and Originality
The Auto Fibonacci Momentum Zones indicator offers a streamlined, static overlay of Fibonacci retracement levels inspired by extreme RSI momentum thresholds, enhanced with a dynamic table displaying the high and low of the currently visible chart range. This isn't a repackaged RSI oscillator or basic Fib drawer—common in TradingView's library—but a purposeful fusion of geometric harmony (Fibonacci ratios) with momentum psychology (RSI extremes at 35/85), projected as fixed horizontal reference lines on the price chart. The addition of the visible range table, powered by PineCoders' VisibleChart library, provides real-time context for the chart's current view, enabling traders to quickly assess range compression or expansion relative to these zones.
This script's originality stems from its "static momentum mapping": by hardcoding Fib levels on a dynamic chart, it creates universal psychological support/resistance lines that transcend specific assets or timeframes.
Unlike dynamic Fib tools that auto-adjust to price swings (risking noise in ranging markets) or standalone RSI plots (confined to panes), this delivers clean, bias-adjustable overlays for confluence analysis. The visible range table justifies the library integration—it's not a gratuitous add-on but a complementary tool that quantifies the "screen real estate" of price action, helping users correlate Fib touches with actual volatility. Drawn from original code (no auto-generation or public templates), it builds TradingView's body of knowledge by simplifying multi-tool workflows into one indicator, ideal for discretionary traders who value visual efficiency over algorithmic complexity.
How It Works: Underlying Concepts
Fibonacci retracements, derived from the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio (≈0.618), identify potential reversal points based on the idea that markets retrace prior moves in predictable proportions: shallow (23.6%, 38.2%), mid (50%), and deep (61.8%, 78.6%).
Adjustable Outputs
1. The "Invert Fibs" toggle (default: true) for bearish/topping bias, can be flipped aligning with trend context.
2. Fibonacci Levels: Seven semi-transparent horizontal lines are drawn using `hline()`:
- 0.0 at high (gray).
- 0.236: high - (range × 0.236) (light cyan, shallow pullback).
- 0.382: high - (range × 0.382) (teal, common retracement).
- 0.5: midpoint average (green, equilibrium).
- 0.618: high - (range × 0.618) (amber, golden pocket for reversals).
- 0.786: high - (range × 0.786) (orange, deep support).
- 1.0 at low (gray).
Colors progress from cool (shallow) to warm (deep) for intuitive scanning.
3. Optional Fib Labels: Right-edge text labels (e.g., "0.618") appear only if enabled, positioned at the last bar + offset for non-cluttering visibility.
4. Visible Range Table: Leveraging the VisibleChart library's `visible.high()` and `visible.low()` functions, a compact 2x2 table (top-right corner) updates on the last bar to show the extrema of bars currently in view. This mashup enhances utility: Fib zones provide fixed anchors, while the table's dynamic values reveal if price is "pinned" to a zone (e.g., visible high hugging 0.382 signals resistance). The library is invoked sparingly for performance, adding value by bridging static geometry with viewport-aware data—unavailable in built-ins without custom code.
How to Use It
1. Setup:
Add to any chart (e.g., 15M for scalps, Daily for swings). As an overlay, lines appear directly on price candles—adjust chart scaling if needed.
2. Input Tweaks:
Invert Fibs: Enable for downtrends (85 top), disable for uptrends (35 bottom).
Show Fibs: Toggle labels for ratio callouts (off for clean charts).
Show Table: Display/hide the visible high/low summary (red for high, green for low, formatted to 2 decimals).
3. Trading Application:
Zone Confluence: Seek price reactions at each fibonacci level—e.g., a doji at 0.618 + rising volume suggests entry; use 0.0/1.0 as invalidation.
Range Context: Check the table: If visible high/low spans <20% of the Fib arc (e.g., both near 0.5), anticipate breakout; wider spans signal consolidation.
Multi-Timeframe: Overlay on higher TF for bias, lower for precision—e.g., Daily Fibs guide 1H entries.
Enhancements: Pair with volume or candlesticks; set alerts on line crosses via TradingView's built-in tools. Backtest on your symbols to validate (e.g., equities favor 0.382, forex the 0.786).
This indicator automates advanced Fibonacci synthesis dynamically, eliminating manual measurement and calculations.

Ehlers Phasor Analysis (PHASOR)# PHASOR: Phasor Analysis (Ehlers)
## Overview and Purpose
The Phasor Analysis indicator, developed by John Ehlers, represents an advanced cycle analysis tool that identifies the phase of the dominant cycle component in a time series through complex signal processing techniques. This sophisticated indicator uses correlation-based methods to determine the real and imaginary components of the signal, converting them to a continuous phase angle that reveals market cycle progression. Unlike traditional oscillators, the Phasor provides unwrapped phase measurements that accumulate continuously, offering unique insights into market timing and cycle behavior.
## Core Concepts
* **Complex Signal Analysis** — Uses real and imaginary components to determine cycle phase
* **Correlation-Based Detection** — Employs Ehlers' correlation method for robust phase estimation
* **Unwrapped Phase Tracking** — Provides continuous phase accumulation without discontinuities
* **Anti-Regression Logic** — Prevents phase angle from moving backward under specific conditions
Market Applications:
* **Cycle Timing** — Precise identification of cycle peaks and troughs
* **Market Regime Analysis** — Distinguishes between trending and cycling market conditions
* **Turning Point Detection** — Advanced warning system for potential market reversals
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|----------------|
| Period | 28 | Fixed cycle period for correlation analysis | Match to expected dominant cycle length |
| Source | Close | Price series for phase calculation | Use typical price or other smoothed series |
| Show Derived Period | false | Display calculated period from phase rate | Enable for adaptive period analysis |
| Show Trend State | false | Display trend/cycle state variable | Enable for regime identification |
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Technical Formula:**
**Stage 1: Correlation Analysis**
For period $n$ and source $x_t$:
Real component correlation with cosine wave:
$$R = \frac{n \sum x_t \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right) - \sum x_t \sum \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)}{\sqrt{D_{cos}}}$$
Imaginary component correlation with negative sine wave:
$$I = \frac{n \sum x_t \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right) - \sum x_t \sum \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right)}{\sqrt{D_{sin}}}$$
where $D_{cos}$ and $D_{sin}$ are normalization denominators.
**Stage 2: Phase Angle Conversion**
$$\theta_{raw} = \begin{cases}
90° - \arctan\left(\frac{I}{R}\right) \cdot \frac{180°}{\pi} & \text{if } R \neq 0 \\
0° & \text{if } R = 0, I > 0 \\
180° & \text{if } R = 0, I \leq 0
\end{cases}$$
**Stage 3: Phase Unwrapping**
$$\theta_{unwrapped}(t) = \theta_{unwrapped}(t-1) + \Delta\theta$$
where $\Delta\theta$ is the normalized phase difference.

DayFlow VWAP Relay Forex Majors StrategySummary in one paragraph
DayFlow VWAP Relay is a day-trading strategy for major FX pairs on intraday timeframes, demonstrated on EURUSD 15 minutes. It waits for alignment between a daily anchored VWAP regime check, residual percentiles, and lower-timeframe micro flow before suggesting trades. The originality is the fusion of daily VWAP residual percentiles with a live micro-flow score from 1 minute data to switch between fade and breakout behavior inside the same session. Add it to a clean chart and use the markers and alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: Major FX pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD
• Timeframes: One minute to one hour
• Default demo in this publication: EURUSD on 15 minutes
• Purpose: Reduce false starts by acting only when context, location and micro flow agree
• Limits: This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Core novelty: Residual percentiles to daily anchored VWAP decide “balanced versus expanding day”. A separate 1 minute micro-flow score confirms direction, so the same model fades extremes in balance and rides range breaks in expansion
• Failure modes addressed: Chop fakeouts and unconfirmed breakouts are filtered by the expansion gate and micro-flow threshold
• Testability: Every input is exposed. Bands, background regime color, and markers show why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick: Stops and targets are ATR multiples converted to ticks, which transfer across symbols
• Open source status: No reused third-party code that requires attribution
Method overview in plain language
The day is anchored with a VWAP that updates from the daily session start. Price minus VWAP is the residual. Percentiles of that residual measured over a rolling window define location extremes for the current day. A regime score compares residual volatility to price volatility. When expansion is low, the day is treated as balanced and the model fades residual extremes if 1 minute micro flow points back to VWAP. When expansion is high, the model trades breakouts outside the VWAP bands if slope and micro flow agree with the move.
Base measures
• Range basis: True Range smoothed by ATR for stops and targets, length 14
• Return basis: Not required for signals; residuals are absolute price distance to VWAP
Components
• Daily Anchor VWAP Bands. VWAP with standard-deviation bands. Slope sign is used for trend confirmation on breakouts
• Residual Percentiles. Rolling percentiles of close minus VWAP over Signal length. Identify location extremes inside the day
• Expansion Ratio. Standard deviation of residuals divided by standard deviation of price over Signal length. Classifies balanced versus expanding day
• Micro Flow. Net up minus down closes from 1 minute data across a short span, normalized to −1..+1. Confirms direction and avoids fades against pressure
• Session Window optional. Restricts trading to your configured hours to avoid thin periods
• Cooldown optional. Bars to wait after a position closes to prevent immediate re-entry
Fusion rule
Gating rather than weighting. First choose regime by Expansion Ratio versus the Expansion gate. Inside each regime all listed conditions must be true: location test plus micro-flow threshold plus session window plus cooldown. Breakouts also require VWAP slope alignment.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion on balanced day: residual at or below the lower percentile and micro flow positive above the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied
• Short suggestion on balanced day: residual at or above the upper percentile and micro flow negative below the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied
• Long suggestion on expanding day: close above the upper VWAP band, VWAP slope positive, micro flow positive, session and cooldown satisfied
• Short suggestion on expanding day: close below the lower VWAP band, VWAP slope negative, micro flow negative, session and cooldown satisfied
• Positions flip on opposite suggestions or exit by brackets
What you will see on the chart
• Markers on suggestion bars: L for long, S for short
• Exit occurs on reverse signal or when a bracket order is filled
• Reference lines: daily anchored VWAP with upper and lower bands
• Optional background: teal for balanced day, orange for expanding day
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal length. Residual and regime window. Typical 40 to 100. Higher smooths, lower reacts faster
Micro Flow
• Micro TF. Lower timeframe used for micro flow, default 1 minute
• Micro span bars. Count of lower-TF bars. Typical 5 to 20
• Micro flow gate 0..1. Minimum absolute flow. Raising it demands stronger confirmation and reduces trade count
VWAP Bands
• VWAP stdev multiplier. Band width. Typical 0.8 to 1.6. Wider bands reduce breakout frequency and increase fade distance
• Expansion gate 0..3. Threshold to switch from fades to breakouts. Raising it favors fades, lowering it favors breakouts
Sessions
• Use session filter. Enable to trade only inside your window
• Trade window UTC. Default 07:00 to 17:00
Risk
• ATR length. Stop and target basis. Typical 10 to 21
• Stop ATR x. Initial stop distance in ATR multiples
• Target ATR x. Profit target distance in ATR multiples
• Cooldown bars after close. Wait bars before a new entry
• Side. Both, long only, or short only
View
• Show VWAP and bands
• Color bars by residual regime
Properties visible in this publication

• request.security uses lookahead off everywhere
• Strategy: Percent of equity with value 3. Pyramiding 0. Commission cash per order 0.0001 USD. Slippage 3 ticks. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier ON. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick OFF. Using standard OHLC fills ON.
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategies must run on standard candles for signals and orders.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact news, session opens, and thin liquidity can invalidate assumptions. Very quiet days can reduce contrast between residuals and price volatility. Session windows use the chart exchange time. If both stop and target are touched within a single bar, TradingView’s standard OHLC price-movement model decides the outcome.
Expect different behavior on illiquid pairs or during holidays. The model is sensitive to session definitions and feed time. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Legal
Education and research only. Not investment advice. You are responsible for your decisions. Test on historical data and in simulation before any live use. Use realistic costs.
Unicorn Trade Indicator - Enhanced V1This code also contains pinescripts from iFVG (BPR) by Algorize and Visualizing displacement by tradeforopp who have kindly provided them as open source.
An ICT Unicorn is where a breaker block is traded through which incorporates a fair value gap. I decided to code this indicator as I couldn't find an existing free indicator on Trading View that performed adequately.
This indicator will highlight breaker blocks and when broken will post an Unicorn emoji and send an alert if requested. The last 3 breaker blocks are displayed, the prior boxes are labled PBB and are shown as red for bearish and green for bullish. After the main Unicorn is posted, the code continues to mark market structure shifts.
As all trading strategies work better with confluence I have added several other features which is very useful for people who are restricted on the number of indicators that can place on a single chart.
I have added iFVG (BPR) by Algoryze and Visualizing displacement by tradeforopp which have kindly been made open source by the authors. My thanks to them for their hard work.
Unicorn alerts will only be sent when a yellow displacement candle ( from the Visualizing displacement code) is present along with the Unicorn as this is the best type of Unicorn to trade.
The number of fvg's and bpr's from the code by Algoryze can be adjusted in the settings.
Also to add confluence I have used my own code to display liquidity depth boxes made popular by toodegrees.
I hope you find this indicator useful.
Range Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Range Oscillator (Zeiierman) is a dynamic market oscillator designed to visualize how far the price is trading relative to its equilibrium range. Instead of relying on traditional overbought/oversold thresholds, it uses adaptive range detection and heatmap coloring to reveal where price is trading within a volatility-adjusted band.
The oscillator maps market movement as a heat zone, highlighting when the price approaches the upper or lower range boundaries and signaling potential breakout or mean-reversion conditions.
Highlights
Adaptive range detection based on ATR and weighted price movement.
Heatmap-driven coloring that visualizes volatility pressure and directional bias.
Clear transition zones for detecting trend shifts and equilibrium points.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Detection
The indicator identifies a dynamic price range using two main parameters:
Minimum Range Length: The number of bars required to confirm that a valid range exists.
Range Width Multiplier: Expands or contracts the detected range proportionally to the ATR (Average True Range).
This approach ensures that the oscillator automatically adapts to both trending and ranging markets without manual recalibration.
⚪ Weighted Mean Calculation
Instead of a simple moving average, the script calculates a weighted equilibrium mean based on the size of consecutive candle movements:
Larger price changes are given greater weight, emphasizing recent volatility.
⚪ Oscillator Formula
Once the range and equilibrium mean are defined, the oscillator computes:
Osc = 100 * (Close - Mean) / RangeATR
This normalizes price distance relative to the dynamic range size — producing consistent readings across volatile and quiet periods.
█ Heatmap Logic
The Range Oscillator includes a built-in heatmap engine that color-codes each oscillator value based on recent price interaction intensity:
Strong Bullish Zones: Bright green — price faces little resistance upward.
Weak Bullish Zones: Muted green — uptrend continuation but with minor hesitation.
Transition Zones: Blue — areas of uncertainty or trend shift.
Weak Bearish Zones: Maroon — downtrend pressure but soft momentum.
Strong Bearish Zones: Bright red — strong downside continuation with low resistance.
Each color band adapts dynamically using:
Number of Heat Levels: Controls granularity of the heatmap.
Minimum Touches per Level: Defines how reactive or “sensitive” each color zone is.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend & Momentum Confirmation
When the oscillator stays above +0 with green coloring, it suggests sustained bullish pressure.
Similarly, readings below –0 with red coloring, it suggests sustained bearish pressure.
⚪ Range Breakouts
When the oscillator line breaks above +100 or below –100, the price is exceeding its normal volatility range, often signaling breakout potential or exhaustion extremes.
⚪ Mean Reversion Trades
Look for the oscillator to cross back toward zero after reaching an extreme. These transitions (often marked by blue tones) can identify early reversals or range resets.
⚪ Divergence
Use oscillator peaks and troughs relative to price action to spot hidden strength or weakness before the next move.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of bars needed to confirm a valid range.
Range Width Multiplier: Expands or contracts range width based on ATR.
Number of Heat Levels: Number of gradient bands used in the oscillator.
Minimum Touches per Level: Sensitivity threshold for when a zone becomes “hot.”

saodisengxiaoyu-lianghua-2.1- This indicator is a modular, signal-building framework designed to generate long and short signals by combining a chosen leading indicator with selectable confirmation filters. It runs on Pine Script version 5, overlays directly on price, and is built to be highly configurable so traders can tailor the signal logic to their market, timeframe, and trading style. It includes a dashboard to visualize which conditions are active and whether they validate a signal, and it outputs clear buy/sell labels and alert conditions so you can automate or monitor trades with confidence.
Core Design
- Leading Indicator: You choose one primary signal generator from a broad list (for example, Range Filter, Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, and many others). This serves as the anchor of the system and determines when a preliminary long or short setup exists.
- Confirmation Filters: You can enable additional filters that validate the leading signal before it becomes actionable. Each “respect…” input toggles a filter on or off. These filters include popular tools like EMA, 2/3 EMA crosses, RQK (Nadaraya Watson), ADX/DMI, Bollinger-based oscillators, MACD variations, QQE, Hull, VWAP, Choppiness Index, Damiani Volatility, and more.
- Signal Expiry: To avoid waiting indefinitely for confirmations, the indicator counts how many consecutive bars the leading condition holds. If confirmations do not align within a defined number of bars, the setup expires. This controls latency and helps reduce late or stale entries.
- Alternating Signals: An optional mode enforces alternation (long must follow short and vice versa), helping avoid repeated entries in the same direction without a meaningful reset.
- Aggregation Logic: The final long/short conditions are formed by combining the leading condition with all selected confirmation filters through logical conjunction. Only if all enabled filters validate the signal (within expiry constraints) does the indicator consider it a confirmed long or short.
- Visualization and Alerts: The script plots buy/sell labels at signal points, provides alert conditions for automation, and displays a compact dashboard summarizing the leading indicator’s status and each confirmation’s pass/fail result using checkmarks.
Leading Indicator Options
- The indicator includes a very large menu of leading tools, each with its own logic to determine uptrend or downtrend impulses. Highlights include:
- Range Filter: Uses a dynamic centerline and bands computed via conditional EMA/SMA and range sizing to define directional movement. It can operate in a default mode or an alternative “DW” mode.
- Rational Quadratic Kernel (RQK): Applies a kernel smoothing model (Nadaraya Watson) to detect uptrends and downtrends with a focus on noise reduction.
- Supertrend, Half Trend, SSL Channel: Classic trend-following tools that derive direction from ATR-based bands or moving average channels.
- Ichimoku Cloud and SuperIchi: Multi-component systems validating trend via cloud position, conversion/base line relationships, projected cloud, and lagging span.
- TSI (True Strength Index), DPO (Detrended Price Oscillator), AO (Awesome Oscillator), MACD, STC (Schaff Trend Cycle), QQE Mod: Momentum and cycle tools that parse direction from crossovers, zero-line behavior, and momentum shifts.
- Donchian Trend Ribbon, Chandelier Exit: Trend and exit tools that can validate breakouts or sustained trend strength.
- ADX/DMI: Measures trend strength and directional movement via +DI/-DI relationships and minimum ADX thresholds.
- RSI and Stochastic: Use crossovers, level exits, or threshold filters to gate entries based on overbought/oversold dynamics or relative strength trends.
- Vortex, Chaikin Money Flow, VWAP, Bull Bear Power, ROC, Wolfpack Id, Hull Suite: A diverse set of directional, momentum, and volume-based indicators to suit different markets and styles.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Price-behavior filters that confirm signals during breakouts or within defined ranges.
Confirmation Filters
- Each filter is optional. When enabled, it must validate the leading condition for a signal to pass. Examples:
- EMA Filter: Requires price to be above a specified EMA for longs and below for shorts, filtering signals that contradict broader trend or baseline levels.
- 2 EMA Cross and 3 EMA Cross: Enforce moving average cross conditions (fast above slow for long, the reverse for short) or a three-line stacking logic for more stringent trend alignment.
- RQK, Supertrend, Half Trend, Donchian, QQE, Hull, MACD (crossover vs. zero-line), AO (zero line or AC momentum variants), SSL: Each adds its characteristic validation pattern.
- RSI family (MA cross, exits OB/OS zones, threshold levels) plus RSI MA direction and RSI/RSI MA limits: Multiple ways to constrain signals via relative strength behavior and trajectories.
- Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility: Prevent entries during ranging conditions or insufficient volatility; choppiness thresholds and volatility states gate the trade.
- VWAP, Volume modes (above MA, simple up/down, delta), Chaikin Money Flow: Volume and flow conditions that ensure signals happen in supportive liquidity or accumulation/distribution contexts.
- ADX/DMI thresholds: Demand a minimum trend strength and directional DI alignment to reduce whipsaw trades.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Confirm that the price is breaking structure or remains within active range consistent with the leading setup.
- By combining several filters you can create strict, conservative entries or looser setups depending on your goals.
Range Filter Engine
- A core building block, the Range Filter uses conditional EMA and SMA functions to compute adaptive bands around a dynamic centerline. It supports two types:
- Type 1: The centerline updates when price exceeds the band thresholds; bands define acceptable drift ranges.
- Type 2: Uses quantized steps (via floor operations) relative to the previous centerline to handle larger moves in discrete increments.
- The engine offers smoothing for range values using a secondary EMA and can switch between raw and averaged outputs. Its hi/lo bands and centerline compose a corridor that defines directional movement and potential breakout confirmation.
Signal Construction
- The script computes:
- leadinglongcond and leadingshortcond : The primary directional signals from the chosen leading indicator.
- longCond and shortCond : Final signals formed by combining the leading conditions with all enabled confirmations. Each confirmation contributes a boolean gate. If a filter is disabled, it contributes a neutral pass-through, keeping the logic intact without enforcing that condition.
- Expiry Logic: The code counts consecutive bars where the leading condition remains true. If confirmations do not line up within the user-defined “Signal Expiry Candle Count,” the setup is abandoned and the signal does not trigger.
- Alternation: An optional state ensures that long and short signals alternate. This can reduce repeated entries in the same direction without a clear reset.
- Finally, longCondition and shortCondition represent the actionable signals after expiry and alternation logic. These drive the label plotting and alert conditions.
Visualization
- Buy and Sell Labels: When longCondition or shortCondition confirm, the script plots annotated labels directly on the chart, making entries easy to see at a glance. The labels use color coding and clear text tags (“long” vs. “short”).
- Dashboard: A table summarizes the status of the leading indicator and all confirmations. Each row shows the indicator label and whether it passed (✔️) or failed (❌) on the current bar. This intensely practical UI helps you diagnose why a signal did or did not trigger, empowering faster strategy iteration and parameter tuning.
- Failed Confirmation Markers: If a setup expires (count exceeds the limit) and confirmations failed to align, the script can mark the chart with a small label and provide a tooltip listing which confirmations did not pass. It’s a helpful audit trail to understand missed trades or prevent “chasing” invalid signals.
- Data Window Values: The script outputs signal states to the data window, which can be useful for debugging or building composite conditions in multi-indicator templates.
Inputs and Parameters
- You control the indicator from a comprehensive input panel:
- Setup: Signal expiry count, whether to enforce alternating signals, and whether to display labels and the dashboard (including position and size).
- Leading Indicator: Choose the primary signal generator from the large list.
- Per-Filter Toggles: For each confirmation, a respect... toggle enables or disables it. Many include sub-options (like MACD type, Stochastic mode, RSI mode, ADX variants, thresholds for choppiness/volatility, etc.) to fine-tune behavior.
- Range Filter Settings: Choose type and behavior; select default vs. DW mode and smoothing. The underlying functions adjust band sizes using ATR, average change, standard deviation, or user-defined scales.
- Because everything is customizable, you can adapt the indicator to different assets, volatility regimes, and timeframes.
Alerts and Automation
- The script defines alert conditions tied to longCondition and shortCondition . You can set these alerts in your chart to trigger notifications or webhook calls for automated execution in external bots. The alert text is simple, and you can configure your own message template when creating alerts in the chart, including JSON payloads for algorithmic integration.
Typical Workflow
- Select a Leading Indicator aligned with your style. For trend following, Supertrend or SSL may be appropriate; for momentum, MACD or TSI; for range/trend-change detection, Range Filter, RQK, or Donchian.
- Add a few key Confirmation Filters that complement the leading signal. For example:
- Pair Supertrend with EMA Filter and RSI MA Direction to ensure trend alignment and positive momentum.
- Combine MACD Crossover with ADX/DMI and Volume Above MA to avoid signals in low-trend or low-liquidity conditions.
- Use RQK with Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility to only act when the market is trending and volatile enough.
- Set a sensible Signal Expiry Candle Count. Shorter expiry keeps entries timely and reduces lag; longer expiry captures setups that mature slowly.
- Observe the Dashboard during live markets to see which filters pass or fail, then iterate. Tighten or loosen thresholds and filter combinations as needed.
- For automation, turn on alerts for the final conditions and use webhook payloads to notify your trading robot.
Strengths and Practical Notes
- Flexibility: The indicator is a toolkit rather than a single rigid model. It lets you test different combinations rapidly and visualize outcomes immediately.
- Clarity: Labels, dashboard, and failed-confirmation markers make it easy to audit behavior and refine settings without digging into code.
- Robustness: The expiry and alternation options add discipline, avoiding the temptation to enter late or repeatedly in one direction without a reset.
- Modular Design: The logical gates (“respect…”) make the behavior transparent: if a filter is on, it must pass; if it’s off, the signal ignores it. This keeps reasoning clean.
- Avoiding Overfitting: Because you can stack many filters, it’s tempting to over-constrain signals. Start simple (one leading indicator and one or two confirmations). Add complexity only if it demonstrably improves your edge across varied market regimes.
Limitations and Recommendations
- No single configuration is universally optimal. Markets change; tune filters for the instrument and timeframe you trade and revisit settings periodically.
- Trend filters can underperform in choppy markets; likewise, momentum filters can false-trigger in quiet periods. Consider using Choppiness Index or Damiani to gate signals by regime.
- Use expiry wisely. Too short may miss good setups that need a few bars to confirm; too long may cause late entries. Balance responsiveness and accuracy.
- Always consider risk management externally (position sizing, stops, profit targets). The indicator focuses on signal quality; combining it with robust trade management methods will improve results.
Example Configurations
- Trend-Following Setup:
- Leading: Supertrend uptrend for longs and downtrend for shorts.
- Confirmations: EMA Filter (price above 200 EMA for long, below for short), ADX/DMI (trend strength above threshold with +DI/-DI alignment), Volume Above MA.
- Expiry: 3–4 bars to keep entries timely.
- Result: Strong bias toward sustained moves while avoiding weak trends and thin liquidity.
- Mean-Reversion to Momentum Crossover:
- Leading: RSI exits from OB/OS zones (e.g., RSI leaves oversold for long and leaves overbought for short).
- Confirmations: 2 EMA Cross (fast crossing slow in the same direction), MACD zero-line behavior for added momentum validation.
- Expiry: 2–3 bars for responsive re-entry.
- Result: Captures momentum transitions after short-term extremes, with extra confirmation to reduce head-fakes.
- Range Breakout Focus:
- Leading: Range Filter Type 2 or Donchian Trend Ribbon to detect breakouts.
- Confirmations: Damiani Volatility (avoid low-volatility false breaks), Choppiness Index (prefer trend-ready states), ROC positive/negative threshold.
- Expiry: 1–3 bars to act on breakout windows.
- Result: Better alignment to breakout dynamics, gating trades by volatility and regime.
Conclusion
- This indicator is a comprehensive, configurable framework that merges a chosen leading signal with an array of corroborating filters, disciplined expiry handling, and intuitive visualization. It’s designed to help you build high-quality entry signals tailored to your approach, whether that’s trend-following, breakout trading, momentum capturing, or a hybrid. By surfacing pass/fail states in a dashboard and allowing alert-based automation, it bridges the gap between discretionary analysis and systematic execution. With sensible parameter tuning and thoughtful filter selection, it can serve as a robust backbone for signal generation across diverse instruments and timeframes.
IIR One-Pole Price Filter [BackQuant]IIR One-Pole Price Filter
A lightweight, mathematically grounded smoothing filter derived from signal processing theory, designed to denoise price data while maintaining minimal lag. It provides a refined alternative to the classic Exponential Moving Average (EMA) by directly controlling the filter’s responsiveness through three interchangeable alpha modes: EMA-Length , Half-Life , and Cutoff-Period .
Concept overview
An IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter is a type of recursive filter that blends current and past input values to produce a smooth, continuous output. The "one-pole" version is its simplest form, consisting of a single recursive feedback loop that exponentially decays older price information. This makes it both memory-efficient and responsive , ideal for traders seeking a precise balance between noise reduction and reaction speed.
Unlike standard moving averages, the IIR filter can be tuned in physically meaningful terms (such as half-life or cutoff frequency) rather than just arbitrary periods. This allows the trader to think about responsiveness in the same way an engineer or physicist would interpret signal smoothing.
Why use it
Filters out market noise without introducing heavy lag like higher-order smoothers.
Adapts to various trading speeds and time horizons by changing how alpha (responsiveness) is parameterized.
Provides consistent and mathematically interpretable control of smoothing, suitable for both discretionary and algorithmic systems.
Can serve as the core component in adaptive strategies, volatility normalization, or trend extraction pipelines.
Alpha Modes Explained
EMA-Length : Classic exponential decay with alpha = 2 / (L + 1). Equivalent to a standard EMA but exposed directly for fine control.
Half-Life : Defines the number of bars it takes for the influence of a price input to decay by half. More intuitive for time-domain analysis.
Cutoff-Period : Inspired by analog filter theory, defines the cutoff frequency (in bars) beyond which price oscillations are heavily attenuated. Lower periods = faster response.
Formula in plain terms
Each bar updates as:
yₜ = yₜ₋₁ + alpha × (priceₜ − yₜ₋₁)
Where alpha is the smoothing coefficient derived from your chosen mode.
Smaller alpha → smoother but slower response.
Larger alpha → faster but noisier response.
Practical application
Trend detection : When the filter line rises, momentum is positive; when it falls, momentum is negative.
Signal timing : Use the crossover of the filter vs its previous value (or price) as an entry/exit condition.
Noise suppression : Apply on volatile assets or lower timeframes to remove flicker from raw price data.
Foundation for advanced filters : The one-pole IIR serves as a building block for multi-pole cascades, adaptive smoothers, and spectral filters.
Customization options
Alpha Scale : Multiplies the final alpha to fine-tune aggressiveness without changing the mode’s core math.
Color Painting : Candles can be painted green/red by trend direction for visual clarity.
Line Width & Transparency : Adjust the visual intensity to integrate cleanly with your charting style.
Interpretation tips
A smooth yet reactive line implies optimal tuning — minimal delay with reduced false flips.
A sluggish line suggests alpha is too small (increase responsiveness).
A noisy, twitchy line means alpha is too large (increase smoothing).
Half-life tuning often feels more natural for aligning filter speed with price cycles or bar duration.
Summary
The IIR One-Pole Price Filter is a signal smoother that merges simplicity with mathematical rigor. Whether you’re filtering for entry signals, generating trend overlays, or constructing larger multi-stage systems, this filter delivers stability, clarity, and precision control over noise versus lag, an essential tool for any quantitative or systematic trading approach.
Hyper SAR Reactor Trend StrategyHyperSAR Reactor Adaptive PSAR Strategy
Summary
Adaptive Parabolic SAR strategy for liquid stocks, ETFs, futures, and crypto across intraday to daily timeframes. It acts only when an adaptive trail flips and confirmation gates agree. Originality comes from a logistic boost of the SAR acceleration using drift versus ATR, plus ATR hysteresis, inertia on the trail, and a bear-only gate for shorts. Add to a clean chart and run on bar close for conservative alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: large cap equities and ETFs, index futures, major FX, liquid crypto
• Timeframes: one minute to daily
• Default demo: BTC on 60 minute
• Purpose: faster yet calmer PSAR that resists chop and improves short discipline
• Limits: this is a strategy that places simulated orders on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Novel fusion: PSAR AF is boosted by a logistic function of normalized drift, trail is monotone with inertia, entries use ATR buffers and optional cooldown, shorts are allowed only in a bear bias
• Addresses false flips in low volatility and weak downtrends
• All controls are exposed in Inputs for testability
• Yardstick: ATR normalizes drift so settings port across symbols
• Open source. No links. No solicitation
Method overview
Components
• Adaptive AF: base step plus boost factor times logistic strength
• Trail inertia: one sided blend that keeps the SAR monotone
• Flip hysteresis: price must clear SAR by a buffer times ATR
• Volatility gate: ATR over its mean must exceed a ratio
• Bear bias for shorts: price below EMA of length 91 with negative slope window 54
• Cooldown bars optional after any entry
• Visual SAR smoothing is cosmetic and does not drive orders
Fusion rule
Entry requires the internal flip plus all enabled gates. No weighted scores.
Signal rule
• Long when trend flips up and close is above SAR plus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Short when trend flips down and close is below SAR minus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Exit uses SAR as stop and optional ATR take profit per side
Inputs with guidance
Reactor Engine
• Start AF 0.02. Lower slows new trends. Higher reacts quicker
• Max AF 1. Typical 0.2 to 1. Caps acceleration
• Base step 0.04. Typical 0.01 to 0.08. Raises speed in trends
• Strength window 18. Typical 10 to 40. Drift estimation window
• ATR length 16. Typical 10 to 30. Volatility unit
• Strength gain 4.5. Typical 2 to 6. Steepness of logistic
• Strength center 0.45. Typical 0.3 to 0.8. Midpoint of logistic
• Boost factor 0.03. Typical 0.01 to 0.08. Adds to step when strength rises
• AF smoothing 0.50. Typical 0.2 to 0.7. Adds inertia to AF growth
• Trail smoothing 0.35. Typical 0.15 to 0.45. Adds inertia to the trail
• Allow Long, Allow Short toggles
Trade Filters
• Flip confirm buffer ATR 0.50. Typical 0.2 to 0.8. Raise to cut flips
• Cooldown bars after entry 0. Typical 0 to 8. Blocks re entry for N bars
• Vol gate length 30 and Vol gate ratio 1. Raise ratio to trade only in active regimes
• Gate shorts by bear regime ON. Bear bias window 54 and Bias MA length 91 tune strictness
Risk
• TP long ATR 1.0. Set to zero to disable
• TP short ATR 0.0. Set to 0.8 to 1.2 for quicker shorts
Usage recipes
Intraday trend focus
Confirm buffer 0.35 to 0.5. Cooldown 2 to 4. Vol gate ratio 1.1. Shorts gated by bear regime.
Intraday mean reversion focus
Confirm buffer 0.6 to 0.8. Cooldown 4 to 6. Lower boost factor. Leave shorts gated.
Swing continuation
Strength window 24 to 34. ATR length 20 to 30. Confirm buffer 0.4 to 0.6. Use daily or four hour charts.

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategies execute only on standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact events and thin books can void assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may prefer longer ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast and invite false flips.
Open source reuse and credits
Public domain building blocks used: PSAR concept and ATR. Implementation and fusion are original. No borrowed code from other authors.
Strategy notice
Orders are simulated on standard candles. No lookahead.
Entries and exits
Long: flip up plus ATR buffer and all gates true
Short: flip down plus ATR buffer and gates true with bear bias when enabled
Exit: SAR stop per side, optional ATR take profit, optional cooldown after entry
Tie handling: stop first if both stop and target could fill in one bar
TriAnchor Elastic Reversion US Market SPY and QQQ adaptedSummary in one paragraph
Mean-reversion strategy for liquid ETFs, index futures, large-cap equities, and major crypto on intraday to daily timeframes. It waits for three anchored VWAP stretches to become statistically extreme, aligns with bar-shape and breadth, and fades the move. Originality comes from fusing daily, weekly, and monthly AVWAP distances into a single ATR-normalized energy percentile, then gating with a robust Z-score and a session-safe gap filter.
Scope and intent
• Markets: SPY QQQ IWM NDX large caps liquid futures liquid crypto
• Timeframes: 5 min to 1 day
• Default demo: SPY on 60 min
• Purpose: fade stretched moves only when multi-anchor context and breadth agree
• Limits: strategy uses standard candles for signals and orders only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion: tri-anchor AVWAP energy percentile plus robust Z of close plus shape-in-range gate plus breadth Z of SPY QQQ IWM
• Failure mode addressed: chasing extended moves and fading during index-wide thrusts
• Testability: each component is an input and visible in orders list via L and S tags
• Portable yardstick: distances are ATR-normalized so thresholds transfer across symbols
• Open source: method and implementation are disclosed for community review
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
• Range basis: ATR(length = atr_len) as the normalization unit
• Return basis: not used directly; we use rank statistics for stability
Components
• Tri-Anchor Energy: squared distances of price from daily, weekly, monthly AVWAPs, each divided by ATR, then summed and ranked to a percentile over base_len
• Robust Z of Close: median and MAD based Z to avoid outliers
• Shape Gate: position of close inside bar range to require capitulation for longs and exhaustion for shorts
• Breadth Gate: average robust Z of SPY QQQ IWM to avoid fading when the tape is one-sided
• Gap Shock: skip signals after large session gaps
Fusion rule
• All required gates must be true: Energy ≥ energy_trig_prc, |Robust Z| ≥ z_trig, Shape satisfied, Breadth confirmed, Gap filter clear
Signal rule
• Long: energy extreme, Z negative beyond threshold, close near bar low, breadth Z ≤ −breadth_z_ok
• Short: energy extreme, Z positive beyond threshold, close near bar high, breadth Z ≥ +breadth_z_ok
What you will see on the chart
• Standard strategy arrows for entries and exits
• Optional short-side brackets: ATR stop and ATR take profit if enabled
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Base length: window for percentile ranks and medians. Typical 40 to 80. Longer smooths, shorter reacts.
• ATR length: normalization unit. Typical 10 to 20. Higher reduces noise.
• VWAP band stdev: volatility bands for anchors. Typical 2.0 to 4.0.
• Robust Z window: 40 to 100. Larger for stability.
• Robust Z entry magnitude: 1.2 to 2.2. Higher means stronger extremes only.
• Energy percentile trigger: 90 to 99.5. Higher limits signals to rare stretches.
• Bar close in range gate long: 0.05 to 0.25. Larger requires deeper capitulation for longs.
Regime and Breadth
• Use breadth gate: on when trading indices or broad ETFs.
• Breadth Z confirm magnitude: 0.8 to 1.8. Higher avoids fighting thrusts.
• Gap shock percent: 1.0 to 5.0. Larger allows more gaps to trade.
Risk — Short only
• Enable short SL TP: on to bracket shorts.
• Short ATR stop mult: 1.0 to 3.0.
• Short ATR take profit mult: 1.0 to 6.0.

• None
Strategy notice
Orders are simulated by TradingView on standard candles. request.security uses lookahead off where applicable. Non-standard charts are not supported for execution.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic: as in Signal rule above
• Exit logic: short side optional ATR stop and ATR take profit via brackets; long side closes on opposite setup
• Risk model: ATR-based brackets on shorts when enabled
• Tie handling: stop first when both could be touched inside one bar
Dataset and sample size
• Test across your visible history. For robust inference prefer 100 plus trades.
