Omega OscillatorThe Omega Oscillator is a toolkit designed to help both experienced and new traders with their trading decisions.
This indicator is a part of the omega toolkit, and his creation method is based on the concept that every trading strategy should have a way to determine the trend, or the bias, that answers the question “long or short?”; the location, which identifies the best price level to enter into a position and to exit, both in profit and in loss, and that will decide the final risk-to-reward ratio of the trade you take; the signal, which is useful to determine the best moment to enter into a position and that if paired with the trend point, his purpose is to identify when the large trend picture is in confluence with the small term; and last but not least the filter point, the filter is used to have another way to have an additional confluence with the trade you want to take, and it’s important to reduce the number of false signals and to increase the win rate.
This tool aims to help traders with the identification of the filter, to allow traders to judge their trades with other tools that can reduce false signals. It’s important to note that indicator and technical analysis is only one of the several different ways to analyze an asset.
One of the main things to keep in mind when working with the financial markets is that not every asset, every historical phase, and every market condition is the same, this is why this tool can be highly personalized and adjustable and provide different overlay tools in order to allow traders to choose the best settings considering these variables and your backtests.
The Oscillator can potentially work on any timeframe and any market thanks to these characteristics, and contains several different unique features:
- Optimization for the perception length parameter, used to analyze data.
- Optimization for the analysis length parameter, used to display data.
- Faculty to personalize the aesthetics of the indicators with the colors and the line width of the main line.
- 5 different tools to let the user choose the optimal way to filter out false signals and analyze the markets.
This script contains several different oscillators, each one precisely designed to remove false signals of different methods of trade.
The first one, called “Omega” is a combination of the best functionality of the other indicator. It contains the “Pendulum” advanced stochastic lines and overbought and oversold lines to analyze reversals, a long-term smoothed histogram to analyze the trend direction based on the “Pullback” formula, and the excess in the volume of the “Interest” oscillator.
The second one is called “Efficiency” and it aims to be the optimal tool to combine with the popular volume spread analysis. His purpose is to analyze the efficiency that the volume has to move the price and this means that when the oscillator is positive, either for the short term with the separated colored lines or the histograms that show the difference between the two lines in the middle-long term trend, this means that the volume has more strength compared to the opposite site volume. The usage of this indicator is to filter out bad signals in the area you are evaluating to take a trade. Be aware that using this oscillator at the beginning of open sessions can lead to false results.
The third one is called “Interest” and it does not include the price in his calculation, but only the volume. It has both the main line and the histogram that like other indicators display respectively the short and the medium-long-term trend. His usage, with the deviation bands automatically displayed, is to detect if there is more strength in the positive candle volume or in the negative candles, to use the volume strength analysis, it’s great to predict reversal and to analyze divergences.
The fourth one is called “Pendulum” and it displays an advanced formula of the popular stochastic oscillator that includes volume, with the oversold and overbought formula that if crossed origin the colored area that you see at the opposite levels, his usage is to determine potential reversal and trend direction, occasionally you can also use the cross of the two lines as a signal to enter a trade.
Additionally, this tool has a histogram that displays the true momentum of the asset you are trading.
The fifth and last one is the Pullback oscillator, and it contains several unique features. This tool will show you the price, displayed as standard candles, of the price. This oscillator can be used both for trend following and for mean reversal trading analysis. The middle area and the smoothed line that you can see aim to be potential support and resistance zones for the price. Note that the price on the moving average of the oscillator is based on volume pressure, and the color of the middle zone area is on the direction of the large trend.
This oscillator also has reversal zones that can help traders identify potential trend exhaustion and reversal price levels, that dynamically change based on the trend situation and adapt their width to the price volatility.

Omega AnalystThe Omega Analyst is a toolkit designed to help both experienced and new traders with their trading decisions.
This indicator is a part of the omega toolkit, and his creation method is based on the concept that every trading strategy should have a way to determine the trend, or the bias, that answers the question “long or short?”; the location, which identifies the best price level to enter into a position and to exit, both in profit and in loss, and that will decide the final risk-to-reward ratio of the trade you take; the signal, which is useful to determine the best moment to enter into a position and that if paired with the trend point, his purpose is to identify when the large trend picture is in confluence with the small term; and last but not least the filter point, the filter is used to have another way to have an additional confluence with the trade you want to take, and it’s important to reduce the number of false signals and to increase the win rate.
This tool aims to help traders with the identification of the location points, thanks to different technical analysis tools that allow determining objectively if the price is in a discount area or in a premium area, to evaluate both entry and exit points. It’s important to note that indicator and technical analysis is only one of the several different ways to analyze an asset.
One of the main things to keep in mind when working with the financial markets is that not every asset, every historical phase, and every market condition is the same, this is why this tool can be highly personalized and adjustable and provide different overlay tools in order to allow traders to choose the best settings considering this variable and your backtests.
This tool, thanks to the previously cited characteristics, can work on any market and any horizontal time frame, and it has different features:
- 7 different tools of technical analysis to analyze the market, some of them with multiple variants.
- An additional tool to display the open price of different sessions
- Easy setup: You can easily choose which indicator to display in order to analyze the markets the best.
- Easy to use and easy to adjust: common settings for all the indicators are easily configurable in the settings with the length or the size parameter. Note that not all the indicators use both parameters, in particular: the indicator mode works for the consolidation levels, the range of motion, the sr zones, and the regression line; the continuous length parameter changes the settings to the consolidation levels, the range of motion, the sr zones, the Fibonacci area, and the regression line; the interval size parameter change the anchor to the volume price, the pivot points and the range of motion.
- Common aesthetics: You can easily change the default premium, discount, and average color in order to have the best view of the indicators together with the line width, or choose to have the monochrome setting to have a more minimalistic style.
- Common usage: Every one of these uses has the same functionality: determine if the price is the fair value, in a premium situation, or in the discount area.
- Automatic settings: The indicator can be used in “Auto” mode if it works with resets like the range of motion interval, the VWAP, the pivot points, and the open prices. This way the indicator will automatically adjust itself to show the optimal results for the analysis you want to make on your chosen timeframe.
The first tool is called Consolidation levels, and it’s a great tool to use during ranging markets.
The consolidation levels are support and resistance levels and zones automatically displayed on the chart to identify the range of bargaining, that adapts considering the price volatility and automatically moves once the price has broken the extreme levels.
This tool has two variants. The fixed variants have, just like the name says, all fixed levels that stay the same until the price doesn’t break one of them.
The Adaptive variants of the Consolidation levels tool have a unique feature that makes the support and resistance zones move considering the price volatility and standard deviation.
The second tool is called “Range of Motion” and it comes in two different versions, called “Continuous” and “Interval”. The difference is just that the “Interval” version stays the same for the whole duration of the interval length you choose.
The range of motion indicator allows the user to see the level that works like support and resistance and the area that works like premium and discount areas. The levels are calculated using the ATR indicator on the mean center line.
On the fixed variant of the range of motion indicator, these levels, once plotted, stay the same until the end of the chosen time frame in the interval size setting to plot the indicator. This way it’s easier to adopt a kind of analysis that uses passive orders like limit buy and limit sell orders. The interval range of motion indicator works like fixed extension levels that display the optimal range of bargaining of that specific asset.
The third tool is the Support and Resistance zones. With this tool, you'll see automatic support and resistance based on past prices and pivot data.
The area and the least efficient levels can be disabled using the "Interval" indicator mode.
The color area automatically changes looking at the effective support or resistance purpose of that area. The area also changes with the "Continuous length" parameter.
The fourth tool is the Fibonacci zones, which display the area of discount and premium pricing using the quartile theory, showing the 25% and the 75% of the current swings as area and the golden zone as a standard line, that includes the space between the 61.8% and the 38.2%, with the 50% line in the middle. This tool works like a Donchian Channel but it shows areas instead of simple lines. The usage of this indicator is both for trend following and for mean reversal, the general definition is that it shows attention zones.
Now in the photo, you can see the fifth tool which is the Anchored VWAP, under the name of "Volume Price". The Volume-weighted average price is a powerful indicator that aims to give the average price of a determined time period and can be used, combined with the standard deviation, to find not only support and resistance levels but also the volume-objective premium and discount zone.
This specific indicator displays 5 lines: the VWAP, the first upper and lower deviation, and the first and second upper deviation lines, that create the previously mentioned zone.
The sixth tool is the Pivot Points standard. This tool is a popular indicator that displays key levels for a determined period of time.
The levels for each interval time are five different lines. The middle one, colored by default in gray, should be the prediction, based on the key price levels of the previous period chosen, of the fair value. The other one, called S1 and R1 are respectively the first level of support and resistance and are great if used as exit points and when combined with other S/R tools, the same is valid for the S2 and R2 levels, on the extreme part of the indicator.
Between the R1 and the R2, and between the S1 and S2 lines there are the previously mentioned Discount and Premium zones.
The seventh tool is the Regression Line. This indicator will show the deviation bands from the standard regression line. Given the fact that the usual linear regression channels available are repainting, and so they don't give realistic outcomes, this tool will give you past results based on the data of the channel in that price moment, being non-repainting. This tool also has an extension that aims to be a prediction about future outcomes in terms of volatility and direction of the price, and this extension can be disabled using the "Continuous" mode.
Just like other tools in this indicator, the linear regression channel will display the middle line and the two premium and discount zones.
The last tool of the Omega Analyst is the open prices.
With this simple-to-read tool, you will see plotted as dotted lines the open prices of the period you have chosen.
The open prices are common support and resistance level and can be used both for entry and exit points. Additionally, on higher timeframes, such as the open prices of the different months, these levels can be further extended to the recent days to have more support and resistance levels.
This tool needs to be adjusted based on your time zone in order to have the best results and can be done directly in the settings of the indicator under the Open prices section, just simply write down at what time it’s midnight in your country watching the desired hour on the chart.
In order to determine the premium or discount area with this tool, you’ll need to pay attention if the current open price indicator is higher or lower than the previous one plotted, if it’s higher you can assume that the price is in an up trend and this way the zone under the current dotted line is the discount zone.
The lines you’ll see plotted are either in the chosen discount or premium color, based if the price is above or below the current open prices indicator plotted.

Omega IndicatorThe Omega Trend and Signal indicator is a toolkit designed to help both experienced and new traders with their trading decisions.
This indicator is a part of the omega toolkit, and his creation method is based on the concept that every trading strategy should have a way to determine the trend, or the bias, that answers the question “long or short?”; the location, which identifies the best price level to enter into a position and to exit, both in profit and in loss, and that will decide the final risk-to-reward ratio of the trade you take; the signal, which is useful to determine the best moment to enter into a position and that if paired with the trend point, his purpose is to identify when the large trend picture is in confluence with the small term; and last but not least the filter point, the filter is used to have another way to have an additional confluence with the trade you want to take, and it’s important to reduce the number of false signals and to increase the win rate.
This tool aims to help traders with the identification of the trend and the signal points, based on a large number of different formula that works combined to display the final output. It’s important to note that indicator and technical analysis is only one of the several different ways to analyze an asset.
One of the main things to keep in mind when working with the financial markets is that not every asset, every historical phase, and every market condition is the same, this is why this tool can be highly personalized and adjustable and provide different overlay tools in order to allow traders to choose the best settings considering this variable and your backtests.
This tool, thanks to the previously cited characteristics, can work on any market and any horizontal time frame, and it has different features:
- Both Trends following and Mean Reversal usage: with different trend detection and signal formulas (not to be followed blindly like any other indicator or trading method).
- Minimalistic usage: with easy-to-enable functions both functionally and aesthetically, to keep your charts clean and to give you the power to choose only what you want to use this indicator for.
- Candle coloring: the easiest way to identify the trend current situation based on the technical formula, with the color you have chosen, and with 5 different variations: strong sell, sell (same color of strong sell but less opacity), neutral, buy, strong buy (same color of buy with more opacity).
- Automatic signal coloring, that will change the way the signals are visualized based on the mid-term trend condition, giving you both entry and exit suggested signals.
- Trend signals: an option that will display the signal based on the same algorithm that works for the candle coloring, but visualizing only the most significant trend changes
- Signal filters, that works differently for trend following and for mean reversal settings, and are divided into three different categories: additional filters remove the repetitive signals in the trend following usage and the low volume signals in the mean reversal usage; location filter remove the signal that is over/below the current trend fair value, giving you only premium or discount signal based on the direction of the trade; and the confluence filter, that for trend following usage filter out signal not in confluence with the Trend cloud overlay indicator and for mean reversal keeps only the signal that is at least in the first band of the Extreme zones overlay indicator.
- Signal sensitivity optimization with the “Fast length” parameter, with base value “1” you can choose the multiplier for that parameter.
- Trend detection optimization with the “Slow length” parameter, with base value “1” you can choose the multiplier for that parameter.
- Overlay indicator optimization with the “Trend length” parameter, with base value “1” you can choose the multiplier for that parameter.
- 4 Overlay indicator to keep the analysis simple and to assist traders to see the trend clearer and identifying the best zones and conditions to enter a trade.
- The option to visualize as numbers that go from 0 to 10 the current trend strength based on the settings to want to use and calculated with the historical best number that has been displayed (it’s shown under the last candles, only if you have selected the trend following or the mean reversal settings).
- Automatic alerts for Buy and Sell signals based on the settings and the filter that you have chosen.
- The option to show only some parts of the indicator, such as the signals or the candle coloring.
- Heikin Ashi: a modified and more simple version of the classic Heikin Ashi candle that is not realistic on the market when used improperly. This option enables the overlay of the candle with the same high, low, and close of the original candle, but the open is the average of the previous open and the previous close.
The signals work this way: if the script has detected a buy signal if the current trend strength is in confluence with the signal, you’ll see a colored dot under the candle (or over if it’s sell), but if the signal is not in confluence, you’ll see a gray (or the color you have chosen for neutral color settings) mark in the same location, so under the candle, if it’s a buy signal not supported by the trend and over the candle if it’s a sell signals not in confluence with the trend parameters, and in this cases the signals aim to suggest to close your open opposite position. This works both for Trend following and for Mean reversal usage.
In this image, there are enable the Adaptive Zone and the Extreme Zones overlay indicators, with the Mean Reversal candle coloring and signal usage.
As you can see, the Extreme Zones are designed to give with a complex script the zones in which the price is likely to reverse, of course depending on the market condition and asset.
The Adaptive Zone is a modified version of the popular super trend indicator, and is designed to work in a different way: instead of giving a buy and sell signal at the switch of the direction, this tool gives its best when used as an area of support and resistance to enter a trade with a bigger risk to reward ratio.
In these other photos, you can see the Trend Midline and the Trend Cloud overlay indicators, with the Trend Following candle coloring and signal usage.
The Trend Midline is a powerful tool that includes different calculations inside and can work like a moving average to identify the level of support and resistance, take profit and stop loss. In addition to that, the Trend Midline overlay indicator is colored based on a large number of different indicators that display the final output as colors, this way, whenever the indicator is colored as the positive color (blue by default) you’ll have another confirmation that the trend is bullish, and vice versa.
The Trend Cloud is a modified version of the popular Ichimoku Kumo, created to help traders identify the trend direction the best. Another great way to use this tool is to mark a horizontal line at the price level in which the two lines of the indicator have switched in position to identify potential future levels of support and resistance.

ICT Donchian Smart Money Structure (Expo)█ Concept Overview
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology is focused on understanding the actions and implications of the so-called "smart money" - large institutions and professional traders who often influence market movements. Key to this is the concept of market structure and how it can provide insights into potential price moves.
Over time, however, there has been a notable shift in how some traders interpret and apply this methodology. Initially, it was designed with a focus on the fractal nature of markets. Fractals are recurring patterns in price action that are self-similar across different time scales, providing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of market structure.
However, as the ICT methodology has grown in popularity, there has been a drift away from this fractal-based perspective. Instead, many traders have started to focus more on pivot points as their primary tool for understanding market structure.
Pivot points provide static levels of potential support and resistance. While they can be useful in some contexts, relying heavily on them could provide a skewed perspective of market structure. They offer a static, backward-looking view that may not accurately reflect real-time changes in market sentiment or the dynamic nature of markets.
This shift from a fractal-based perspective to a pivot point perspective has significant implications. It can lead traders to misinterpret market structure and potentially make incorrect trading decisions.
To highlight this issue, you've developed a Donchian Structure indicator that mirrors the use of pivot points. The Donchian Channels are formed by the highest high and the lowest low over a certain period, providing another representation of potential market extremes. The fact that the Donchian Structure indicator produces the same results as pivot points underscores the inherent limitations of relying too heavily on these tools.
While the Donchian Structure indicator or pivot points can be useful tools, they should not replace the original, fractal-based perspective of the ICT methodology. These tools can provide a broad overview of market structure but may not capture the intricate dynamics and real-time changes that a fractal-based approach can offer.
It's essential for traders to understand these differences and to apply these tools correctly within the broader context of the ICT methodology and the Smart Money Concept Structure. A well-rounded approach that incorporates fractals, along with other tools and forms of analysis, is likely to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of market structure.
█ Smart Money Concept - Misunderstandings
The Smart Money Concept is a popular concept among traders, and it's based on the idea that the "smart money" - typically large institutional investors, market makers, and professional traders - have superior knowledge or information, and their actions can provide valuable insight for other traders.
One of the biggest misunderstandings with this concept is the belief that tracking smart money activity can guarantee profitable trading.
█ Here are a few common misconceptions:
Following Smart Money Equals Guaranteed Success: Many traders believe that if they can follow the smart money, they will be successful. However, tracking the activity of large institutional investors and other professionals isn't easy, as they use complex strategies, have access to information not available to the public, and often intentionally hide their moves to prevent others from detecting their strategies.
Instantaneous Reaction and Results: Another misconception is that market movements will reflect smart money actions immediately. However, large institutions often slowly accumulate or distribute positions over time to avoid moving the market drastically. As a result, their actions might not produce an immediate noticeable effect on the market.
Smart Money Always Wins: It's not accurate to assume that smart money always makes the right decisions. Even the most experienced institutional investors and professional traders make mistakes, misjudge market conditions, or are affected by unpredictable events.
Smart Money Activity is Transparent: Understanding what constitutes smart money activity can be quite challenging. There are many indicators and metrics that traders use to try and track smart money, such as the COT (Commitments of Traders) reports, Level II market data, block trades, etc. However, these can be difficult to interpret correctly and are often misleading.
Assuming Uniformity Among Smart Money: 'Smart Money' is not a monolithic entity. Different institutional investors and professional traders have different strategies, risk tolerances, and investment horizons. What might be a good trade for a long-term institutional investor might not be a good trade for a short-term professional trader, and vice versa.
█ Market Structure
The Smart Money Concept Structure deals with the interpretation of price action that forms the market structure, focusing on understanding key shifts or changes in the market that may indicate where 'smart money' (large institutional investors and professional traders) might be moving in the market.
█ Three common concepts in this regard are Change of Character (CHoCH), and Shift in Market Structure (SMS), Break of Structure (BMS/BoS).
Change of Character (CHoCH): This refers to a noticeable change in the behavior of price movement, which could suggest that a shift in the market might be about to occur. This might be signaled by a sudden increase in volatility, a break of a trendline, or a change in volume, among other things.
Shift in Market Structure (SMS): This is when the overall structure of the market changes, suggesting a potential new trend. It usually involves a sequence of lower highs and lower lows for a downtrend, or higher highs and higher lows for an uptrend.
Break of Structure (BMS/BoS): This is when a previously defined trend or pattern in the price structure is broken, which may suggest a trend continuation.
A key component of this approach is the use of fractals, which are repeating patterns in price action that can give insights into potential market reversals. They appear at all scales of a price chart, reflecting the self-similar nature of markets.
█ Market Structure - Misunderstandings
One of the biggest misunderstandings about the ICT approach is the over-reliance or incorrect application of pivot points. Pivot points are a popular tool among traders due to their simplicity and easy-to-understand nature. However, when it comes to the Smart Money Concept and trying to follow the steps of professional traders or large institutions, relying heavily on pivot points can create misconceptions and lead to confusion. Here's why:
Delayed and Static Information: Pivot points are inherently backward-looking because they're calculated based on the previous period's data. As such, they may not reflect real-time market dynamics or sudden changes in market sentiment. Furthermore, they present a static view of market structure, delineating pre-defined levels of support and resistance. This static nature can be misleading because markets are fundamentally dynamic and constantly changing due to countless variables.
Inadequate Representation of Market Complexity: Markets are influenced by a myriad of factors, including economic indicators, geopolitical events, institutional actions, and market sentiment, among others. Relying on pivot points alone for reading market structure oversimplifies this complexity and can lead to a myopic understanding of market dynamics.
False Signals and Misinterpretations: Pivot points can often give false signals, especially in volatile markets. Prices might react to these levels temporarily but then continue in the original direction, leading to potential misinterpretation of market structure and sentiment. Also, a trader might wrongly perceive a break of a pivot point as a significant market event, when in fact, it could be due to random price fluctuations or temporary volatility.
Over-simplification: Viewing market structure only through the lens of pivot points simplifies the market to static levels of support and resistance, which can lead to misinterpretation of market dynamics. For instance, a trader might view a break of a pivot point as a definite sign of a trend, when it could just be a temporary price spike.
Ignoring the Fractal Nature of Markets: In the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure, understanding the fractal nature of markets is crucial. Fractals are self-similar patterns that repeat at all scales and provide a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of market structure. They can help traders identify shifts in market sentiment or direction in real-time, providing more relevant and timely information compared to pivot points.
The key takeaway here is not that pivot points should be entirely avoided or that they're useless. They can provide valuable insights and serve as a useful tool in a trader's toolbox when used correctly. However, they should not be the sole or primary method for understanding the market structure, especially in the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure.
█ Fractals
Instead, traders should aim for a comprehensive understanding of markets that incorporates a range of tools and concepts, including but not limited to fractals, order flow, volume analysis, fundamental analysis, and, yes, even pivot points. Fractals offer a more dynamic and nuanced view of the market. They reflect the recursive nature of markets and can provide valuable insights into potential market reversals. Because they appear at all scales of a price chart, they can provide a more holistic and real-time understanding of market structure.
In contrast, the Smart Money Concept Structure, focusing on fractals and comprehensive market analysis, aims to capture a more holistic and real-time view of the market. Fractals, being self-similar patterns that repeat at different scales, offer a dynamic understanding of market structure. As a result, they can help to identify shifts in market sentiment or direction as they happen, providing a more detailed and timely perspective.
Furthermore, a comprehensive market analysis would consider a broader set of factors, including order flow, volume analysis, and fundamental analysis, which could provide additional insights into 'smart money' actions.
█ Donchian Structure
Donchian Channels are a type of indicator used in technical analysis to identify potential price breakouts and trends, and they may also serve as a tool for understanding market structure. The channels are formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low over a certain number of periods, creating an envelope of price action.
Donchian Channels (or pivot points) can be useful tools for providing a general view of market structure, and they may not capture the intricate dynamics associated with the Smart Money Concept Structure. A more nuanced approach, centered on real-time fractals and a comprehensive analysis of various market factors, offers a more accurate understanding of 'smart money' actions and market structure.
█ Here is why Donchian Structure may be misleading:
Lack of Nuance: Donchian Channels, like pivot points, provide a simplified view of market structure. They don't take into account the nuanced behaviors of price action or the complex dynamics between buyers and sellers that can be critical in the Smart Money Concept Structure.
Limited Insights into 'Smart Money' Actions: While Donchian Channels can highlight potential breakout points and trends, they don't necessarily provide insights into the actions of 'smart money'. These large institutional traders often use sophisticated strategies that can't be easily inferred from price action alone.
█ Indicator Overview
We have built this Donchian Structure indicator to show that it returns the same results as using pivot points. The Donchian Structure indicator can be a useful tool for market analysis. However, it should not be seen as a direct replacement or equivalent to the original Smart Money concept, nor should any indicator based on pivot points. The indicator highlights the importance of understanding what kind of trading tools we use and how they can affect our decisions.
The Donchian Structure Indicator displays CHoCH, SMS, BoS/BMS, as well as premium and discount areas. This indicator plots everything in real-time and allows for easy backtesting on any market and timeframe. A unique candle coloring has been added to make it more engaging and visually appealing when identifying new trading setups and strategies. This candle coloring is "leading," meaning it can signal a structural change before it actually happens, giving traders ample time to plan their next trade accordingly.
█ How to use
The indicator is great for traders who want to simplify their view on the market structure and easily backtest Smart Money Concept Strategies. The added candle coloring function serves as a heads-up for structure change or can be used as trend confirmation. This new candle coloring feature can generate many new Smart Money Concepts strategies.
█ Features
Market Structure
The market structure is based on the Donchian channel, to which we have added what we call 'Structure Response'. This addition makes the indicator more useful, especially in trending markets. The core concept involves traders buying at a discount and selling or shorting at a premium, depending on the order flow. Structure response enables traders to determine the order flow more clearly. Consequently, more trading opportunities will appear in trending markets.
Structure Candles
Structure Candles highlight the current order flow and are significantly more responsive to structural changes. They can provide traders with a heads-up before a break in structure occurs

Added alert condition on Short/Long crossing for each timeframe which can be fired to trigger trades to Wick Hunter.
Alerts are now fired using crossabove and crossbelow logic which avoids fake signals. Previous script versions would fire signals anytime above/below VWAP resulting in bagged trades. With the new crossing condition we are sure that the previous candle price was below/above the vwap and then price crossed on the current candle to fire the alert.
Alerts also now require a reset, meaning that the price must move above/below the VWAP after firing an alert to retrigger an alert. This will reduce entries however improve entry quality.
Alert repainting was improved as well, however you may still see alerts fire and repaint over. Generally speaking if price goes close to the Long or Short VWAP - expect a signal to fire if using once per bar.
Alerts will fire as soon as price crosses the VWAP Line if using "Once per bar", and may disappear after.
Alerts shown on the chart are confirmed via candle close, and as such, "Once per bar close" should be used if the user wants to only trade confirmed signals shown on the chart.
"Distance from VWAP Settings" table is now plotted across all timeframes which will allow users to see an accurate distance from their current VWAP Settings.
For instance if you are on the 1 Minute timeframe with a long VWAP of 1% the table will plot the current distance (in %) that price is away from the 1% VWAP .
During a market dump you would see the 1% VWAP near current price and its value in the table may be less than 1%.
The data in the table can be very useful for backtesting and checking VWAPS daily. The VWAP will move radically in volatile days and as such this may allow users to further tweak their VWAP Settings.
To use this script simply Favorite and add to your chart.
Happy Trading :)
Expected Move w/ Volatility Panel (advanced) [Loxx]This indicator shows the expected range of movement of price given the assumption that price is log-normally distributed. This includes 3 multiples of standard deviation and 1 user selected level input as a multiple of standard deviation. Expected assumes that volatility remains static on the next bar. In reality, this may or may not be the case, so use caution when making broad assumptions about the levels shown when using this indicator. However, these levels match the same levels on Loxx's backtests and Multi-Panel indicator. These static levels are used as the take profit targets and stoploss on all Loxx's scripts previously posted.
This indicator can be be used on all timeframes, but the internal timeframe must be higher than the current timeframe or an error is thrown. The purpose for internal MTF is so that you can track the deviation range from higher timeframes on lower timeframes. When "current bar" is selected, this indicator will change with live prices changes. This is useful if you wish to enter a trade before the current bar closes and need to know the deviation ranges before the close. Current bar is also useful to see the past ranges of literally that bar. When "past bar" is selected, then the values shown on the current bar are values that were calculated on the last bar. The previous bar setting is useful to track price changes with the assumption that you entered a trade at the close of the previous bar. The default set to the previous bar. (careful, this default setting won't match Loxx's Muti-Panel tool since the Multi-Panel is built using the current bar. To make them match, you must change this setting to current bar)
I've included the ability for you to smooth the output around a moving average. Included are Loxx's Moving Averages. There are 41 to choose from. See more details here:
Smoothing applied yielding Keltner Channels
Also included are various UI options to manipulate line styling and colors.
Volatility Panel
Shows information about user selected volatility included confidence range of the chosen volatility. The following volatility types are included with additional volatility types to added in future releases.
Close-to-Close
Close-to-Close volatility is a classic and most commonly used volatility measure, sometimes referred to as historical volatility .
Volatility is an indicator of the speed of a stock price change. A stock with high volatility is one where the price changes rapidly and with a bigger amplitude. The more volatile a stock is, the riskier it is.
Close-to-close historical volatility calculated using only stock's closing prices. It is the simplest volatility estimator. But in many cases, it is not precise enough. Stock prices could jump considerably during a trading session, and return to the open value at the end. That means that a big amount of price information is not taken into account by close-to-close volatility .
Despite its drawbacks, Close-to-Close volatility is still useful in cases where the instrument doesn't have intraday prices. For example, mutual funds calculate their net asset values daily or weekly, and thus their prices are not suitable for more sophisticated volatility estimators.
Parkinson
Parkinson volatility is a volatility measure that uses the stock’s high and low price of the day.
The main difference between regular volatility and Parkinson volatility is that the latter uses high and low prices for a day, rather than only the closing price. That is useful as close to close prices could show little difference while large price movements could have happened during the day. Thus Parkinson's volatility is considered to be more precise and requires less data for calculation than the close-close volatility .
One drawback of this estimator is that it doesn't take into account price movements after market close. Hence it systematically undervalues volatility . That drawback is taken into account in the Garman-Klass's volatility estimator.
Garman-Klass
Garman Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security.
Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing price. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate.
Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change is a process of continuous diffusion (geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.
Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremums.
Researchers Rogers and Satchel have proposed a more efficient method for assessing historical volatility that takes into account price trends. See Rogers-Satchell Volatility for more detail.
Rogers-Satchell
Rogers-Satchell is an estimator for measuring the volatility of securities with an average return not equal to zero.
Unlike Parkinson and Garman-Klass estimators, Rogers-Satchell incorporates drift term (mean return not equal to zero). As a result, it provides a better volatility estimation when the underlying is trending.
The main disadvantage of this method is that it does not take into account price movements between trading sessions. It means an underestimation of volatility since price jumps periodically occur in the market precisely at the moments between sessions.
A more comprehensive estimator that also considers the gaps between sessions was developed based on the Rogers-Satchel formula in the 2000s by Yang-Zhang. See Yang Zhang Volatility for more detail.
Yang-Zhang
Yang Zhang is a historical volatility estimator that handles both opening jumps and the drift and has a minimum estimation error.
We can think of the Yang-Zhang volatility as the combination of the overnight (close-to-open volatility ) and a weighted average of the Rogers-Satchell volatility and the day’s open-to-close volatility . It considered being 14 times more efficient than the close-to-close estimator.
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang
Garman Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security.
Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing price. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate.
Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change is a process of continuous diffusion (geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.
Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremums.
Researchers Rogers and Satchel have proposed a more efficient method for assessing historical volatility that takes into account price trends. See Rogers-Satchell Volatility for more detail.
Exponential Weighted Moving Average
The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) is a quantitative or statistical measure used to model or describe a time series. The EWMA is widely used in finance, the main applications being technical analysis and volatility modeling.
The moving average is designed as such that older observations are given lower weights. The weights fall exponentially as the data point gets older – hence the name exponentially weighted.
The only decision a user of the EWMA must make is the parameter lambda. The parameter decides how important the current observation is in the calculation of the EWMA. The higher the value of lambda, the more closely the EWMA tracks the original time series.
Standard Deviation of Log Returns
This is the simplest calculation of volatility . It's the standard deviation of ln(close/close(1))
Pseudo GARCH(2,2)
This is calculated using a short- and long-run mean of variance multiplied by θ.
θavg(var ;M) + (1 − θ) avg (var ;N) = 2θvar/(M+1-(M-1)L) + 2(1-θ)var/(M+1-(M-1)L)
Solving for θ can be done by minimizing the mean squared error of estimation; that is, regressing L^-1var - avg (var; N) against avg (var; M) - avg (var; N) and using the resulting beta estimate as θ.
Average True Range
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.
True Range Double
A special case of ATR that attempts to correct for volatility skew.
Chi-squared Confidence Interval:
Confidence interval of volatility is calculated using an inverse CDF of a Chi-Squared Distribution. You can change the volatility input used to either realized, upper confidence interval, or lower confidence interval. This is included in case you'd like to see how far price can extend if volatility hits it's upper or lower confidence levels. Generally, you'd just used realized volatility , so I wouldn't change this setting.
Inverse CDF of a Chi-Squared Distribution
The chi-square distribution is a one-parameter family of curves. The parameter ν is the degrees of freedom.
The icdf of the chi-square distribution is
x=F^−1(p∣ν) = {x:F(x∣ν) = p}
where
p=F(x∣ν)= ∫ (t^(v-2)/2 * e^t/2) / (2^(v/2) / Γ(v/2))
ν is the degrees of freedom, and Γ( · ) is the Gamma function. The result p is the probability that a single observation from the chi-square distribution with ν degrees of freedom falls in the interval .

EqwhaleDisplay Equal high/ low, alert when liquidity is taken.. or created !
An innovation that flows a bit if you are an SMC trader and which was actually missing on TradingView: identification of equal high/low, alerts when liquidity is taken... or created!
Its choice in the design means that it gives more importance to the last identified pivots: that is to say that it will display more recently created liquidity than old one! Perfect for identifying market inducement mechanisms (SMC) under an area of interest. This is a typical pattern of induction and false breakout: 2 hits, the break, reintegration, and real move :
Quick exemple on BTC, you are alerted by liquidity created:
Then we grab, and deep. :)
You can display "old broken lines" for backtesting. Careful, it actually display lines when pivot is detected and broken at the same time : it's false. checks that the line has been touched twice :) So, some false lines in the backtest but it does not affect the indicator at all.
You can set number min of pivot at 1 to plot current high/low untested !
Bollinger Band Width Percentile - Multi Time FrameMy plan with this indicator was when trading at short timeframes, to modify my expectations on the potential impact of short term volatility based on volatility in longer timeframes, and when trading on longer timeframes to attempt to find an optimal entry point based on shorter term volatility.
The BBWP is calculated for a short, medium and long timeframe, alerts are triggered at extremities with the ability to filter by moving averages and chart movement. The alerts also trigger a plot to the "Backtest Signal" which can be used to trigger trades in a backtester.
Please see the discussions of how I'm using this indicator in the comments below.
Thanks to The_Caretaker for "Bollinger Band Width Percentile" upon which this multi time frame version is based.
AMASling - All Moving Average Sling ShotThis indicator modifies the SlingShot System by Chris Moody to allow it to be based on 'any' Fast and Slow moving average pair. Open Long / Close Long / Open Short / Close Short alerts can be generated for automated bot trading based on the SlingShot strategy:
• Conservative Entry = Fast MA above Slow MA, and previous bar close below Fast MA, and current price above Fast MA
• Conservative Entry = Fast MA below Slow MA, and previous bar close above Fast MA, and current price below Fast MA
• Aggressive Entry = Fast MA above Slow MA, and price below Fast MA
• Aggressive Exit = Fast MA below Slow MA, and price above Fast MA
Entries and exits can also be made based on moving average crossovers, I initially put this in to make it easy to compare to a more standard strategy, but upon backtesting combining crossovers with the SlingShot appeared to produce better results on some charts.
Alerts can also be filtered to allow long deals only when the fast moving average is above the slow moving average (uptrend) and short deals only when the fast moving average is below the slow moving averages (downtrend).
If you have a strategy that can buy based on External Indicators you can use the 'Backtest Signal' which plots the values set in the 'Long / Short Signals' section.
The Fast, Slow and Signal Moving Averages can be set to:
• Simple Moving Average (SMA)
• Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
• Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
• Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
• Hull Moving Average (HMA)
• Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (RMA) (SMMA)
• Linear regression curve Moving Average (LSMA)
• Double EMA (DEMA)
• Double SMA (DSMA)
• Double WMA (DWMA)
• Double RMA (DRMA)
• Triple EMA (TEMA)
• Triple SMA (TSMA)
• Triple WMA (TWMA)
• Triple RMA (TRMA)
• Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) ** length does not apply **
• Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
• Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA)
• Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)
'Backtest Signal' and 'Deal State' are plotted to display.none, so change the Style Settings for the chart if you need to see them for testing.

Modified QQE-ZigZag [Non Repaint During Candle Building]V V V V V V V Please Read V V V V V V V
I ask Peter and he is fine, that im published this script
Tell me if you have some ideas or criticism about that sricpt
>>>>>>>>>> This is a modified Version of Peter_O's Momentum Based ZigZag <<<<<<<<<<<
This is only a test, and i want to share it with the community
It works like other ZigZags
Because Peters_O's original Version is only non repaint on closed historical Data ,
during a Candle building process it can still repaint (signal appears / 21 seconds later signal disapears / 42 seconds later signal appears again in the same candle / etc.),
but that isnt important for backtesting, its only important for realtime PivotPoints during a candle.
My goal for this zigzag was to make it absolute non repaint neither during a candle building process (current candle),
so once the signal is shown there is no chance that it disapers and shown a few seconds later again on that same candle, it can only show up one time per candle an thats it,
and that makes it absolute non repaint in all time frames.
Credits to:
==> Thanks to @glaz , for bringing the QQE to Tradingview <3
==> Thanks to @Peter_O , for sharing his idea to use the QQE as base for a Zigzag
and for sharing his MTF RSI with the Community <3
Changes:
- I changed the MTF RSI a little bit, you can choose between two version
- I changed the QQE a little bit, its now using the MTF RSI , and its using High and Low values as Source to make it absolute non repaint during a candle is building
- I added a little Divergence Calculation beween price and the MTF RSI that is used for the ZigZag
Colors :
- Green for HH / HL Continuation
- Red for LL / LH Continuation
- Yellow for Positive Divergence
- Purple for Negative Divergence
Important:
It is not possible to backtest this script correctly with historical Data, its only possible in Realtime,
because the QQE is using crossunders with RSILowSource and the QQE Line to find the Tops and,
because the QQE is using crossovers with RSIHighSource and the QQE Line to find the Bottoms,
and that means it is not possible to find the correct Time/Moment when that crossovers / crossunders happens in historical Data
=============> So please be sure you understand the Calculation and Backtest it in Realtime when you want to use it,
because i didn't published this script for real trading
=============> Im not a financial advisor and youre using this script at your own risk
=============> Please do your own research
Chimpanzee V2.5 part A by joylay83Hi everyone, I am an amateur pinecoder. I would like to share my script which is coded with the intention of generating signals to send to 3commas webhook. It is still in development and revision.
This collection of indicators use:
Chart: 15m.
Inverse Fisher Transformation of the RSI to detect dips in the 15m timeframe.
Bollinger band (4H) to filter out false signals.
Triple EMA 21: to mimic price action for easier coding alerts. Currently not involved in generating signals. will be incorporated in the future.
StochRSI: As a visual filter. Currently not involved in generating signals. will be incorporated in the future.
Background will be green if stochRSI is low and red if stockRSI is high.
Candlesticks will be marked with a flag is TEMA breached BB.
One would need to play around with timeframes, BB settings and IFTRSI threshold for different signals.
There are 2 Signal Modes (with regards to IFTRSI):
Threshold: When price action falls below BB and IFTRSI hits buy threshold, a buy/sell signal is generated. Eg if IFTRSI buy threshold is set to -0.9, the buy signal will remain continuously positive as long as IFTRSI is < 0.9.
Cross: When price action falls below BB and IFTRSI hits threshold, nothing happens. It will wait until the IFTRSI cross back over the threshold before firing a signal.
There is another identical set of indicators running on a higher time frame (IFTRSI: 4H, BB: D or 3D, TEMA 21 4H) but on the same chart. This tend to generate less signals but are more reliable. A usage example would be to send a larger buy order if the signal comes from this higher time frame, or execute a sell order after multiple buys from the lower time frame.
It comes in 2 parts:
Part A: Contains overlay display. This displays BB, Triple EMA, buy/sell and StochRSI in labels. the labels are self explanatory.
Part B (please search for it): which is actually the same code but contain non-overlay display. You may also put part B overlay=true but scale to LEFT. The advantage of using overlay=true is that you can move the signal right over the candlesticks (mainly for troubleshooting/debugging). This part contains Inverse Fisher RSI, %B, Signal Line. %B is supposedly idential to Bollinger Bands in Part A.
By default, when there is a buy/sell signal:
lower time frame 15m: Signal Line in Part B will turn blue with a value 1 or -1 which corresponds to a buy or sell label in Part A
higher time frame 4H: Signal Line in Part B will turn red with a value 2 or -2 which corresponds to a HTF buy or sell label in Part A
Part A or B may be used to send signal to the webhook. You have to make sure that the settings of Part A and B are identical.
You may choose to un-display some items to reduce clutter.
Current problems:
1. Still too many buy signals
Although many times it will generate excellent buy signal at many swing lows, but there are many buy signals prior to a major swing low. This can be observed in the picture above. It also generate a couple of buy signals prior to the swing lows. I am currently experimenting with 20m and hourly timeframe to address this issue. More filters are needed eg an oscillator or detecting candlestick patterns.
2. Premature sell signals.
The sell signal is often generated at the beginning of a major bull run. My idea to solve this problem is to move to a higher timeframe and sell only when TEMA crossunder the upper bollinger band.
3. Lack of a backtester that can test multiple concurrent deals.
Buy -> Buy (average down) -> Buy (average down) -> Buy (average down) -> Sell
4. Lack of the ability to calculate average purchase price
Probably have to code it as a strategy
5. Display lag
As the browser is running 2 copies of the idential script, it tends to lag when you drag your chart around. So far there are no timeouts or delay in firing alerts to 3commas.
I do welcome any suggestion for improvement and constructive criticism. tqvm.

Price Change Scalping Indicator v1.0Introduction
This indicator uses a price rate of change (ROC) momentum calculation to determine the percent change in price between a defined range of bars. The calculated ROC value is then compared to the Upper Threshold and Lower Threshold values to determine if a trade setup is to be activated. If the threshold is crossed, a trade setup will occur based on the indicator settings. Entry, Take Profit, and Stop Loss prices are calculated and displayed on the chart. Once the Entry Price is crossed, a long or short position is created (depending on the direction) and once the Take Profit price is crossed, the position is closed. If the Entry Price is not crossed within a specific number of bars, the trade setup is canceled, and it will proceed to monitor price changes for the next set up.
How is it original and useful?
This indicator is unique in that the strategy version fully supports the TradingView backtester, which will enable you to perform experiments with various settings to evaluate performance using the historical chart data. The study version implements numerous custom alerts for you to build TradingView notifications around specific price action events and stay informed with market activity in real-time. Both script versions will provide the same configuration abilities where you can define:
Define a short or long trading strategy.
Price change data source and offset settings.
Your layering placement relative to the entry price.
Your trading parameters like take profit and stop loss offsets, exchange commission rates, trading start time, and order size multiplication for each layer.
Flexible trade eligibility rules that can use other chart indicators, like RSI or EMA, to exclude the selection of entry prices for trading.
The visibility of detailed statistics from the chart history pertaining to trading sessions started and closed, session durations, win rate, price action drops and bounces, as well as layer utilization.
How does it compare to other scripts in the Public Library?
The indicator offers a very detailed, comprehensive settings to address all types of markets found on TradingView where you can implement the price change scalping strategy. The strategy version can be considered the first of its kind on TradingView to leverage the backtester to provide informative, detailed performance measurements surrounding this unique trading strategy. The study version will contain numerous custom alerts to aid in your notification preferences and stay informed on the indicator's activities:
Price Crossed Above Threshold
Price Crossed Below Threshold
Enter Long Position
Exit Long Position
Enter Short Position
Exit Short Position
Price Crossed DCA Layer 1 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 2 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 3 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 4 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 5 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 6 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 7 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 8 (Long)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 1 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 2 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 3 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 4 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 5 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 6 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 7 (Short)
Price Crossed DCA Layer 8 (Short)
Strategy Results
The default settings are designed to define a "loose" price change settings to ensure that the indicator will render chart elements when first loaded as well as to allow the backtester to gather order executions and display performance summary. The strategy version is using $10,000 initial capital, a commission rate of 0.1% for both entries and exits, and a 1 tick slippage setting. It is also using 2.74506% of the equity with a Order Size Multiplier of 1.33, using 8 total DCA layers, and a take profit of 2% with no stop loss. All other settings are defaults.
It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market in order to best implement the price change strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by scrolling through the chart's history and observing moments when prices tend to move rapidly. Measure the number or bars it typcially takes for the price to change at a specific rate. Using this information, you can adjust the Price Change Settings accordingly to configure the indicator for the chart.
Always keep in mind that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Settings that seem favorable for one market may be found to be disastrous in another. Therefore, do take the time needed to understand how the settings will behave with the given chart symbol.

Using `varip` variables [PineCoders]█ OVERVIEW
The new varip keyword in Pine can be used to declare variables that escape the rollback process, which is explained in the Pine User Manual's page on the execution model . This publication explains how Pine coders can use variables declared with varip to implement logic that was impossible to code in Pine before, such as timing events during the realtime bar, or keeping track of sequences of events that occur during successive realtime updates. We present code that allows you to calculate for how much time a given condition is true during a realtime bar, and show how this can be used to generate alerts.
█ WARNINGS
1. varip is an advanced feature which should only be used by coders already familiar with Pine's execution model and bar states .
2. Because varip only affects the behavior of your code in the realtime bar, it follows that backtest results on strategies built using logic based on varip will be meaningless,
as varip behavior cannot be simulated on historical bars. This also entails that plots on historical bars will not be able to reproduce the script's behavior in realtime.
3. Authors publishing scripts that behave differently in realtime and on historical bars should imperatively explain this to traders.
█ CONCEPTS
Escaping the rollback process
Whereas scripts only execute once at the close of historical bars, when a script is running in realtime, it executes every time the chart's feed detects a price or volume update. At every realtime update, Pine's runtime normally resets the values of a script's variables to their last committed value, i.e., the value they held when the previous bar closed. This is generally handy, as each realtime script execution starts from a known state, which simplifies script logic.
Sometimes, however, script logic requires code to be able to save states between different executions in the realtime bar. Declaring variables with varip now makes that possible. The "ip" in varip stands for "intrabar persist".
Let's look at the following code, which does not use varip :
//@version=4
study("")
int updateNo = na
if barstate.isnew
updateNo := 1
else
updateNo := updateNo + 1
plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles)
On historical bars, barstate.isnew is always true, so the plot shows a value of "1". On realtime bars, barstate.isnew is only true when the script first executes on the bar's opening. The plot will then briefly display "1" until subsequent executions occur. On the next executions during the realtime bar, the second branch of the if statement is executed because barstate.isnew is no longer true. Since `updateNo` is initialized to `na` at each execution, the `updateNo + 1` expression yields `na`, so nothing is plotted on further realtime executions of the script.
If we now use varip to declare the `updateNo` variable, the script behaves very differently:
//@version=4
study("")
varip int updateNo = na
if barstate.isnew
updateNo := 1
else
updateNo := updateNo + 1
plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles)
The difference now is that `updateNo` tracks the number of realtime updates that occur on each realtime bar. This can happen because the varip declaration allows the value of `updateNo` to be preserved between realtime updates; it is no longer rolled back at each realtime execution of the script. The test on barstate.isnew allows us to reset the update count when a new realtime bar comes in.
█ OUR SCRIPT
Let's move on to our script. It has three parts:
— Part 1 demonstrates how to generate alerts on timed conditions.
— Part 2 calculates the average of realtime update prices using a varip array.
— Part 3 presents a function to calculate the up/down/neutral volume by looking at price and volume variations between realtime bar updates.
Something we could not do in Pine before varip was to time the duration for which a condition is continuously true in the realtime bar. This was not possible because we could not save the beginning time of the first occurrence of the true condition.
One use case for this is a strategy where the system modeler wants to exit before the end of the realtime bar, but only if the exit condition occurs for a specific amount of time. One can thus design a strategy running on a 1H timeframe but able to exit if the exit condition persists for 15 minutes, for example. REMINDER: Using such logic in strategies will make backtesting their complete logic impossible, and backtest results useless, as historical behavior will not match the strategy's behavior in realtime, just as using `calc_on_every_tick = true` will do. Using `calc_on_every_tick = true` is necessary, by the way, when using varip in a strategy, as you want the strategy to run like a study in realtime, i.e., executing on each price or volume update.
Our script presents an `f_secondsSince(_cond, _resetCond)` function to calculate the time for which a condition is continuously true during, or even across multiple realtime bars. It only works in realtime. The abundant comments in the script hopefully provide enough information to understand the details of what it's doing. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the Comments section.
Features
The script's inputs allow you to:
• Specify the number of seconds the tested conditions must last before an alert is triggered (the default is 20 seconds).
• Determine if you want the duration to reset on new realtime bars.
• Require the direction of alerts (up or down) to alternate, which minimizes the number of alerts the script generates.
The inputs showcase the new `tooltip` parameter, which allows additional information to be displayed for each input by hovering over the "i" icon next to it.
The script only displays useful information on realtime bars. This information includes:
• The MA against which the current price is compared to determine the bull or bear conditions.
• A dash which prints on the chart when the bull or bear condition is true.
• An up or down triangle that prints when an alert is generated. The triangle will only appear on the update where the alert is triggered,
and unless that happens to be on the last execution of the realtime bar, it will not persist on the chart.
• The log of all triggered alerts to the right of the realtime bar.
• A gray square on top of the elapsed realtime bars where one or more alerts were generated. The square's tooltip displays the alert log for that bar.
• A yellow dot corresponding to the average price of all realtime bar updates, which is calculated using a varip array in "Part 2" of the script.
• Various key values in the Data Window for each parts of the script.
Note that the directional volume information calculated in Part 3 of the script is not plotted on the chart—only in the Data Window.
Using the script
You can try running the script on an open market with a 30sec timeframe. Because the default settings reset the duration on new realtime bars and require a 20 second delay, a reasonable amount of alerts will trigger.
Creating an alert on the script
You can create a script alert on the script. Keep in mind that when you create an alert from this script, the duration calculated by the instance of the script running the alert will not necessarily match that of the instance running on your chart, as both started their calculations at different times. Note that we use alert.freq_all in our alert() calls, so that alerts will trigger on all instances where the associated condition is met. If your alert is being paused because it reaches the maximum of 15 triggers in 3 minutes, you can configure the script's inputs so that up/down alerts must alternate. Also keep in mind that alerts run a distinct instance of your script on different servers, so discrepancies between the behavior of scripts running on charts and alerts can occur, especially if they trigger very often.
Challenges
Events detected in realtime using variables declared with varip can be transient and not leave visible traces at the close of the realtime bar, as is the case with our script, which can trigger multiple alerts during the same realtime bar, when the script's inputs allow for this. In such cases, elapsed realtime bars will be of no use in detecting past realtime bar events unless dedicated code is used to save traces of events, as we do with our alert log in this script, which we display as a tooltip on elapsed realtime bars.
█ NOTES
Realtime updates
We have no control over when realtime updates occur. A realtime bar can open, and then no realtime updates can occur until the open of the next realtime bar. The time between updates can vary considerably.
Past values
There is no mechanism to refer to past values of a varip variable across realtime executions in the same bar. Using the history-referencing operator will, as usual, return the variable's committed value on previous bars. If you want to preserve past values of a varip variable, they must be saved in other variables or in an array .
Resetting variables
Because varip variables not only preserve their values across realtime updates, but also across bars, you will typically need to plan conditions that will at some point reset their values to a known state. Testing on barstate.isnew , as we do, is a good way to achieve that.
Repainting
The fact that a script uses varip does not make it necessarily repainting. A script could conceivably use varip to calculate values saved when the realtime bar closes, and then use confirmed values of those calculations from the previous bar to trigger alerts or display plots, avoiding repaint.
timenow resolution
Although the variable is expressed in milliseconds it has an actual resolution of seconds, so it only increments in multiples of 1000 milliseconds.
Warn script users
When using varip to implement logic that cannot be replicated on historical bars, it's really important to explain this to traders in published script descriptions, even if you publish open-source. Remember that most TradingViewers do not know Pine.
New Pine features used in this script
This script uses three new Pine features:
• varip
• The `tooltip` parameter in input() .
• The new += assignment operator. See these also: -= , *= , /= and %= .
Example scripts
These are other scripts by PineCoders that use varip :
• Tick Delta Volume , by RicadoSantos .
• Tick Chart and Volume Info from Lower Time Frames by LonesomeTheBlue .

Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends
2.1 Forewords
The Multiple Trends+ is the update of the Multiple Trends and includes a built-in Trade Manager and PnL/Risk-Reward Panel
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM users. Our PREMIUM indicators offer more trading analysis capabilities and opportunities.
A few words of caution: the Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends are more advanced and as such, would require slightly more time to be mastered.
They're not that much difficult, but we understand that designing a trading system with 2 trends might be slightly more complicated - however, there is nothing to be scared of :).
The time spent to learn how to use our PREMIUM tools might be rewarded handsomely.
2.2 Concept
The Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
This is an upgrade of the PRO package giving access to the Algorithm Builder - Single Trend - designed to show 1 unique entry per trend - whereas the Multiple Trends offers re-entries in the same direction of the trend if the indicator detects good convergences to accumulate more positions.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume we have an RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction every time you'll get a convergence.
PS: Whereas it's only the first time only because this is a Single trend edition.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning upfront you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. Multiple Trends versus Single Trend
4.1 Multiple Trends benefits
A friend asked us recently Why using the Multiple Trends if we can use the Single Trend in a smaller timeframe, and get more entries that way?
We thought this was an excellent question, but the answer is obvious.
Using a Single Trend on a smaller timeframe to solely getting more entries will reduce the security of the given trades.
We designed the Algorithm Builders to take a trade in an identified trend but reducing the timeframe too much will mostly increase your risk - and might lead to capital loss.
By the way, this is a universal rule valid also for a big majority of indicators.
We're absolutely not saying that the Single Trend won't work on small timeframes because actually it really does. But, if you find out a great configuration for your Single Trend, and want to get more signals without increasing your risk - then the Multiple Trends would be a very viable option.
4.2 Main signal versus secondary signals
For the main and secondary trends, the color green symbolizes any identified "BUY" trend. And the color red symbolizes any identified "SELL" trend.
-The MAIN trend symbol is unique and symbolized by a triangle.
- The SECONDARY (could also be called re-entries) trends are multiple and symbolized by a diamond.
In the Algorithm Builder indicator settings, they're identified with the Additional keyword.
4.3 How the convergences are calculated
Extremely important: The diamonds (or re-entries) are displayed, as long as a triangle (or main/primary signal) is displayed.
For a trend change (buy to sell or sell to buy), the system waits for ALL selected re-entries sub-indicators , to give a convergence/confluence in the opposite direction.
For example, let's assume a BUY/green convergence based on 3 indicators. One or Two of them going turning red, won't be enough for a trend change.
But, if all of them turn red, then we'll see a red triangle - signaling the beginning of a new downtrend.
4.4 Why multiple entries?
Here are a few use cases :
1. The main use case why we made those Multiple Trends indicators: A trader got invalidated or stopped out on a trade, but wants a system to let hin/her jump back in with a minimum of security. (security depending on the configuration of the Algorithm Builder as a whole).
This is very frustrating to get in a trade, being stopped out, and finally, see the trade going in the expected direction.
Even more frustrating to jump back in at the end of a trend, and get stopped out again - we all agree on this.
2. You want to add more positions on your main trade as your Algo Builder identified a solid trend - this is a nice way to possibly maximize your gains.
Once again, we don't/won't guarantee any performance result (not because we don't believe in our tools, but for legal reason), all depends on the time spent reading our documentation and playing with the Algo Builder - as explained on our Tutorials.
More info available on our website. URL available in this script signature and on my profile status.
V. Why the Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
5.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
5.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
5.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
5.4 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
5.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
5.6 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
5.7 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
5.8 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL MAIN triangles signals
- BUY/SELL SECONDARY diamond signals
- Trade Manager alerts (Stop Loss, Take Profit 1, Take Profit 2)
- Hard Exits
VI. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VII. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VIII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VIII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
IX. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave

II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ Plug&Play
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.

Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VIII. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,

TMA Indicator v2.2This indicator is designed to show support and resistance at local extremes. Configurable SMA crossover events can be used to impart a bullish or bearish bias. This helps to reduce noise on the chart and increase profit factor. In other words, the indicator will only look for bullish breakouts if the fast moving average is above the slow moving average and vice-versa.
SMA Crossover events can be used to filter bullish or bearish resistance levels.
SMA Crossover events can be used to filter bullish or bearish breakout alerts.
Supports alerts for entries and exits based on breakouts of local extrema.
Alerts can be generated at every breakout or with SMA crossover filtering active.
Backtests would suggest that filtering with SMA crossovers often yields slightly lower profit but with a considerable improvement to profit factor.
Green/Red indicates long/short entry
Yellow/Orange indicates long/short exit

Profitable Jurik RSXIntroduction
As you know the Jurik RSX is a "noise free" smoothed version of RSI (Relative Strength Index), with no added lag.
It was originally developed by Mark Jurik and is used the same way as RSI. To learn more about this indicator see www.jurikres.com
The most basic and common strategy is to use the crossovers between Jurik RSX and its overbought/oversold levels as trade signals:
when RSX crosses above 30, go Long
when RSX crosses below 70, go Short
exit when a crossover occurs in the opposite direction
What is this tool?
This tool is a performance scanner that uses a decision tree-based algorithm under the hood to find the most profitable settings for Jurik RSX. It analyzes the range of periods between 2 to 100 and backtests the Jurik RSX for each period (using the strategy mentioned above) across the entire history of an instrument. If the more profitable parameter was found, the indicator will switch its value to the found one immediately.
So, instead of manually selecting parameters just apply it to your chart and relax - the algorithm will do it for you, everywhere you want.
The algorithm can work in two modes: Basic and Early Switch. The Early Switch algorithm makes some assumptions and activates a set of optimizations to find a better setting DURING the trades, not after they were actually closed.
The difference is illustrated on the screenshot below
But two modes can show identical values depending on timeframe
Additionally you can set up a backtest window through indicator's settings (the optimizers which were published before will get this feature soon).
Alerts
It has a special alert that notifies when a more profitable period was detected.
NOTE: It does not change what has already been plotted.
NOTE 2: This is not a strategy, but an algorithmic optimizer.
Profitable RSI (Relative Strength Index)Introduction
As you know the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder and was described in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" (1978). It is intended to measure the strength or weakness of an instrument for the specified period.
The most basic strategy is to use the crossovers as trade signals:
when RSI crosses above 30, go Long
when RSI crosses below 70, go Short
Exit when a crossover occurs in the opposite direction

BTG/USD - BitFinex Long StudyStrategy for LONGS.
For maximum utilization, the LONGS must be opened in the purchase signals and closed in the sales signs.
You can change your strategy according to your investor profile.
In times of downward trend there is the possibility of also SHORTAR in the sales signals (being more risky as well).
The backtest was made with the initial capital of 150 usd, with LONGS of 6 contracts.
* Staying in BTG 1.23% is a good option.
---------------------------------------------------------
Estratégia para LONGS.
Para o máximo aproveitamento, os LONGS devem ser abertos nos sinais de compra e fechados nos sinais de venda.
Você pode alterar a sua estratégia conforme o seu perfil de investidor.
Em momentos de tendência de baixa há a possibilidade de também SHORTAR nos sinais de venda (sendo mais arriscado também).
O backteste foi feito com o capital inicial de 150 usd, com LONGS de 6 contratos.
* Se manter em BTG 1.23% é uma boa opção.

Since it's an indicator, it will not show results for past trades, but only colored bars on the chart. And of course it will send alerts in realtime.
The results (and on-chart trades) shown here above are from the same strategy, but then being a strategy instead of an indicator. Funny enough it performs better in realtime as an indicator than it does in backtests, as backtest only has 4 values per candle (OHLC) and realtime has tick-by-tick.

Aarika MultiTimeFrame (AMTF)Hello Traders,
In this indicator, we're using MTF concept. I have kept the same MA type (you have option to choose type like EMA, SMA, HMA, etc from dropdown list) for both the MA length (choose your both lengths wisely to get the maximum output).
You must backtest different lengths, timeframe and MA type that suits your trading style. Given here is the default settings which i think works excellent on BTC. But again i'm not a financial advisor so please check-back and look for this indicator as a trend finder. Trade only if you have sufficiently backtested, watched their live moves and if suits your trading style!
✅ Pros of MTF (Why Traders Use It)
1. Trend clarity: The higher timeframe filters out noise and shows the real direction of the market.
2. Reduced false signals: Lower timeframe indicators often give too many signals.
MTF keeps you trading only in the higher timeframe direction.
3. Better entries: You can align HTF trend, LTF trigger, This results in higher-quality trades.
4. Helps avoid chop: Markets are usually messy on lower charts. HTF trends cut through the noise.
5. Works across all markets: Crypto, forex, stocks — MTF improves signal reliability everywhere.
❌ Cons of MTF (What You Must Be Aware of)
1. Signals come late: Since HTF candles take longer to form, signals may lag.
2. Fewer trade opportunities: Filtering signals reduces frequency. High accuracy but lower quantity.
3. Beginners may find multi-timeframe correlation harder to learn.
4. Wrong TF combinations may give bad results: Not all timeframe pairs work well.
Example: 1D + 5m is too far apart; the trend becomes irrelevant.
Happy trading!
