Nasan Hull-smoothed envelope The Nasan Hull-Smoothed Envelope indicator is a sophisticated overlay designed to track price movement within an adaptive "envelope." It dynamically adjusts to market volatility and trend strength, using a series of smoothing and volatility-correction techniques. Here's a detailed breakdown of its components, from the input settings to the calculated visual elements:
Inputs
look_back_length (500):
Defines the lookback period for calculating intraday volatility (IDV), smoothing it over time. A higher value means the indicator considers a longer historical range for volatility calculations.
sl (50):
Sets the smoothing length for the Hull Moving Average (HMA). The HMA smooths various lines, creating a balance between sensitivity and stability in trend signals.
mp (1.5):
Multiplier for IDV, scaling the volatility impact on the envelope. A higher multiplier widens the envelope to accommodate higher volatility, while a lower one tightens it.
p (0.625):
Weight factor that determines the balance between extremes (highest high and lowest low) and averages (sma of high and sma of low) in the high/low calculations. A higher p gives more weight to extremes, making the envelope more responsive to abrupt market changes.
Volatility Calculation (IDV)
The Intraday Volatility (IDV) metric represents the average volatility per bar as an exponentially smoothed ratio of the high-low range to the close price. This is calculated over the look_back_length period, providing a base volatility value which is then scaled by mp. The IDV enables the envelope to dynamically widen or narrow with market volatility, making it sensitive to current market conditions.
Composite High and Low Bands
The high and low bands define the upper and lower bounds of the envelope.
High Calculation
a_high:
Uses a multi-period approach to capture the highest highs over several intervals (5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 bars). Averaging these highs provides a more stable reference for the high end of the envelope, capturing both immediate and recent peak values.
b_high:
Computes the average of shorter simple moving averages (5, 8, and 13 bars) of the high prices, smoothing out fluctuations in the recent highs. This generates a balanced view of high price trends.
high_c:
Combines a_high and b_high using the weight p. This blend creates a composite high that balances between recent peaks and smoothed averages, making the upper envelope boundary adaptive to short-term price shifts.
Low Calculation
a_low and b_low:
Similar to the high calculation, these capture extreme lows and smooth low values over the same intervals. This approach creates a stable and adaptive lower bound for the envelope.
low_c:
Combines a_low and b_low using the weight p, resulting in a composite low that adjusts to price fluctuations while maintaining a stable trend line.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands
The final composite high (c_high) and composite low (c_low) bands are adjusted using IDV, which accounts for intraday volatility. When volatility is high, the bands expand; when it’s low, they contract, providing a visual representation of volatility-adjusted price bounds.
Basis Line
The basis line is a Hull Moving Average (HMA) of the average of c_high and c_low. The HMA is known for its smoothness and responsiveness, making the basis line a central trend indicator. The color of the basis line changes:
Green when the basis line is increasing.
Red when the basis line is decreasing.
This color-coded basis line serves as a quick visual reference for trend direction.
Short-Term Trend Strength Block
This component analyzes recent price action to assess short-term bullish and bearish momentum.
Conditions (green, red, green1, red1):
These are binary conditions that categorize price movements as bullish or bearish based on the close compared to the open and the close’s relationship with the exponential moving average (EMA). This separation helps capture different types of strength (above/below EMA) and different bullish or bearish patterns.
Composite Trend Strength Values:
Each of the bullish and bearish counts (above and below the EMA) is normalized, resulting in the following values:
green_EMAup_a and red_EMAup_a for bullish and bearish strength above the EMA.
green_EMAdown_a and red_EMAdown_a for bullish and bearish strength below the EMA.
Trend Strength (t_s):
This calculated metric combines the normalized trend strengths with extra weight to conditions above the EMA, giving more relevance to trends that have momentum behind them.
Enhanced Trend Strength
avg_movement:
Calculates the average absolute price movement over the short_term_length, providing a measurement of recent price activity that scales with volatility.
enhanced_t_s:
Multiplies t_s by avg_movement, creating an enhanced trend strength value that reflects both directional strength and the magnitude of recent price movement.
min and max:
Minimum and maximum percentile thresholds, respectively, based on enhanced_t_s for controlling the color gradient in the fill area.
Fill Area
The fill area between plot_c_high and plot_c_low is color-coded based on the enhanced trend strength (enhanced_t_s):
Gradient color transitions from blue to green based on the strength level, with blue representing weaker trends and green indicating stronger trends.
This visual fill provides an at-a-glance assessment of trend strength across the envelope, with color shifts highlighting momentum shifts.
Summary
The indicator’s purpose is to offer an adaptive price envelope that reflects real-time market volatility and trend strength. Here’s what each component contributes:
Basis Line: A trend-following line in the center that adjusts color based on trend direction.
Envelope (c_high, c_low): Adapts to volatility by expanding and contracting based on IDV, giving traders a responsive view of expected price bounds.
Fill Area: A color-gradient region representing trend strength within the envelope, helping traders easily identify momentum changes.
Overall, this tool helps to identify trend direction, market volatility, and strength of price movements, allowing for more informed decisions based on visual cues around price boundaries and trend momentum.

Filtered Momentum Indicator (FMI)The Filtered Momentum Indicator (FMI) is a tool created to assist traders in identifying changes in momentum and gaining insights into potential shifts in price trends. By combining the concepts of momentum and Bollinger Bands, the FMI offers a unique perspective on momentum values and their relationship to price movements, helping traders make informed trading decisions. The FMI is calculated using two main components:
-- Momentum Calculation : Momentum measures the strength and velocity of price changes. It is calculated by comparing the current price to the price 14 (default) periods ago and expressing it as a percentage.
-- Bollinger Bands Calculation : Bollinger Bands are based on the momentum values and provide a range within which the momentum is expected to fluctuate. The upper and lower bands are determined using a specified period (default of 20) and deviations (default of 2.0).
The FMI consists of two lines : F+ (Filtered Plus) and F- (Filtered Minus). These lines help gauge the strength of bullish and bearish momentum:
-- F+ represents the difference between the upper Bollinger Band and the momentum values. It indicates the strength of bullish momentum. F+ is colored aqua.
-- F- represents the difference between the momentum values and the lower Bollinger Band. It indicates the strength of bearish momentum. F- is colored yellow.
When analyzing the FMI, pay attention to the relationship between F+ and F-:
-- If F- is greater than F+ , it suggests potential bullish momentum, indicating that prices may have room to rise.
-- If F+ is greater than F- , it suggests potential bearish momentum, indicating that prices may have room to decline.
Coloration of the FMI enhances its interpretability - when F- is greater than F+, the indicator color is set to lime (green), signaling potential bullish momentum; when F+ is greater than F-, the indicator color is set to fuchsia (purple), signaling potential bearish momentum.
The FMI can be applied in various ways for trading strategies:
-- Identifying Potential Reversals : Watch for crossovers between the F- and F+ lines, as they may indicate a potential shift in momentum and offer opportunities to enter or exit trades.
-- Confirmation Tool : Combine the FMI with other technical indicators or price patterns to validate potential trend reversals or continuations. By aligning signals from different indicators, you can strengthen your trading decisions.
-- Trade Timing : Consider taking trades in the direction of the dominant FMI color. When the indicator shows strong bullish momentum (F- > F+), consider going long. Conversely, when it shows strong bearish momentum (F+ > F-), consider going short.
It is essential to be aware of the limitations of the FMI:
-- False Signals : The FMI, like any indicator, may generate false signals, especially during low volatility or choppy market conditions. Always use the FMI in conjunction with other analysis techniques for confirmation.
-- Lagging Nature : The FMI relies on historical price data, causing it to lag behind sudden market moves. Keep in mind that the FMI provides insights based on past momentum and may not capture immediate changes in market conditions.
By combining momentum and Bollinger Bands, this indicator provides a unique perspective for making informed trading decisions. Utilize the FMI in conjunction with other analysis techniques, considering its limitations, to enhance your trading strategy and improve decision-making.
Bollinger Band Alert with RSI Filter IndicatorThis code is for a technical analysis indicator called Bollinger Band Alert with RSI Filter. It uses two tools: Bollinger Bands and Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify potential trading signals in the market.
Bollinger Bands are lines plotted two standard deviations away from a simple moving average of the price of a stock or asset. They help traders determine whether prices are high or low on a relative basis.
The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of recent price changes to evaluate whether an asset is overbought or oversold.
The code has some input parameters that a user can change, such as length and multiplier, which are used to calculate the Bollinger Bands, and upper and lower RSI levels to define the overbought and oversold zones.
The code then uses if statements to generate alerts if certain conditions are met. The alert condition is triggered if the close price of an asset crosses above or below the upper or lower Bollinger Bands, and if the RSI is either above or below the overbought or oversold threshold levels.
Finally, the code generates plots to visualize the Bollinger Bands and displays triangles above or below the bars indicating when to enter a long or short position based on the strategy's criteria.
Double RSI + BBRSI stands for Relative Strength Index.
Bollinger Bands stands for a channel open by standard deviation values plotting upper, lower lines.
Double RSI with Bollinger bands adapted Bollinger bands to RSI not using overlay mode. It tries to filter fake signals while giving more good signals according to volatility even below overbought areas or above oversold areas. This way you can use greater values for RSI, like 25 and 100, increasing smoothness with less market noise.
We added an extra gap spacer to smooth Bollinger bands while widening the channel with a lower multiplier.
I found better results when Fast RSI crosses back into Bollinger bands channel.
You can play with the following settings:
• Source
Close is the most used
• Fast RSI length
Default to 25
• Slow RSI length
Default to 100
• RSI Smoothing
To filter out some graphic noise
• RSI Overbought, Oversold
Regular overbought, oversold lines handled by a single value. For 70/30, set it to 20 although with longer RSI something around 15 is enough.
• Bollinger Spacer
Ads thickness to the channel with lower multiplier
• Bollinger Length
Regular Bollinger length applied to slow RSI
• Bollinger Multiplier
Regular Bollinger multiplier applied to slow RSI
Disclaimer:
For study purposes only, trading without a good risk management can be regrettable, do your own research, always add confirmations, use it as is, at your own risk.
Ultimate IndicatorThis is a combination of all the price chart indicators I frequently switch between. It contains my day time highlighter (for day trading), multi-timeframe long-term trend indicator for current commodity in the bottom right, customizable trend EMA which also has multi-timeframe drawing capabilities, VWAP, customizable indicators with separate settings from the trend indicator including: EMA, HL2 over time, Donchian Channels, Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, and Super Trend. The settings for these are right below the trend settings and can have their length and multiplier adjusted. All of those also have multi-timeframe capabilities separate from the trend multi-time settings.
The Day Trade Highlight option will draw faint yellow between 9:15-9:25, red between 9:25-9:45, yellow between 9:45-10:05. There will be one white background at 9:30am to show the opening of the market. while the market is open there will be a very faint blue background. For the end of the day there will be yellow between 15:45-15:50, red between 15:50-16:00, and yellow between 16:00-16:05. During the night hours, there is no coloring. The purpose of this highlight is to show the opening / closing times of the market and the hot times for large moves.
The indicators can also be colored in the following ways:
1. Simple = Makes all colors for the indicator Gray
2. Trend = Will use the Donchian Channels to get the short-trend direction and by default will color the short-term direction as Blue or Red. Unless using Super Trend, the Donchian Channel is used to find short-term trend direction.
3. Trend Adv = Will use the Donchian Channels to get the short-trend direction and by default will color the short-term direction as Blue or Red. Unless using Super Trend, the Donchian Channel is used to find short-term trend direction. If there is a short-term up-trend during a long-term down-trend, the Blue will become Navy. If short-term down-trend during long-term up-trend, the Red will be Brown.
4. Squeeze = Compares the Bollinger Bands width to the Keltner Channels width and will color based on relative squeeze of the market: Teal = no squeeze. Yellow = little squeeze. Red = decent squeeze. White = huge squeeze. if you do not understand this one, try drawing the Bollinger Bands while using the Squeeze color option and it should become more apparent how this works. I also recommend leaving the length and multiplier to the default 20 and 2 if using this setting and only changing the timeframe to get longer/shorter lengths as I've seen that changing the length or multiplier can more or less make it not work at all.
Along with the indicator settings are options to draw lines/labels/fills for the indicator. I enjoy having only fills for a cleaner look.
The Labels option will show Buy/Sell signals when the short-term trend flips to agree with the long-term trend.
The Trend Bars option will do the same as the Labels option but instead will color the bars white when a Buy/Sell option is given.
The Range Bars option shows will color a bar white when the Close of a candle is outside of a respective ranging indicator option (Bollinger or Keltner).
The Trend Bars will draw white candles no matter which indicator selection you make (even "Off"). However, Range Bars will only draw white when either Bollinger or Keltner are selected.
The Donchian Channels and Super Trend are trending indicators and should be used during trending markets. I like to use the MACD in conjunction with these indicators for possibly earlier entries.
The Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel are ranging indicators and should be used during ranging markets. I like to use the RSI in conjunction with these indicators and will use 60/40 for overbought and oversold areas rather than 70/30. During a range, I wait for an overbought or oversold indication and will buy/sell when it crosses back into the middle area and close my position when it touches the opposite band.
I have a MACD/RSI combination indicator if you'd like that as well :D
As always, trade at your own risk. This is not some secret indicator that will 100% win. As always, the trades you see in the picture use a 1:1.5 or 1:2 risk to reward ratio, for today (August 8, 2022) it won 5/6 times with one trade still open at the end of the day. Manage your account correctly and you'll win in the long term. Hit me up with any questions or suggestions. Happy Trading!
Bollinger CloudsThis indicator plots Bollinger Bands for your current timeframe (e.g 5 minutes) and also plots the Bollinger Bands for a higher timeframe (15 minutes for 5 minute timeframe). Then the gaps between the current and higher timeframe upper and lower bands is filled to create clouds which can be used as entry zones. Like Bollinger Bands, this indicator shouldn't be solely used for entries, use it in conjunction with other indicators.

Bitcoin Power Law Zones (Dunk)Introduction When viewed on a standard linear chart, Bitcoin’s long-term price action can appear chaotic and exponential. However, when analyzed through the lens of physics and network growth models, a distinct structure emerges.
This indicator implements the Bitcoin Power Law , a mathematical model that suggests Bitcoin’s price evolves in a straight line when plotted against time on a "log-log" scale. By calculating parallel bands around this regression line, we create a "Rainbow" of valuation zones that help investors visualize whether the asset is historically overheated, undervalued, or sitting at fair value.
The Math Behind the Model The Power Law dictates that price scales with time according to the formula: Price = A * (days since genesis)^b
This script uses the specific parameters popularized by recent physics-based analyses of the network: Slope (b): 5.78 (Representing the scaling law of the network adoption). Amplitude (A): 1.45 x 10^-17 (The intercept coefficient).
While simple moving averages react to price, this model is predictive based on time and network growth physics, providing a long-term "gravity" center for the asset.
Guide to the Valuation Zones
Upper Bands (Red/Orange): Extr. Overvalued, High Premium, Overvalued. Historically, these zones have marked cycle peaks where price moved too far, too fast ahead of the network's steady growth. The Baseline (Black Line): Fair Value. The mathematical mean of the Power Law. Price has historically oscillated around this line, treating it as a center of gravity. Lower Bands (Green/Blue): Undervalued, Discount, Deep Discount. These zones represent periods where the market price has historically lagged behind the network's intrinsic value, often marking accumulation phases.
Note: The lowest theoretical tiers ("Bitcoin Dead") have been trimmed from this chart to focus on relevant historical support levels.
How to Use Logarithmic Scale: You MUST set your chart to "Log" scale (bottom right of the TradingView window) for this indicator to function correctly. On a linear chart, the bands will appear to curve upwards aggressively; on a Log chart, they will appear as smooth, parallel channels. Timeframe: This is a macro-economic indicator. It is best viewed on Daily or Weekly timeframes. Overlay Labels: The indicator includes dynamic labels on the right-side axis, allowing you to instantly see the current price requirements for each valuation zone without manually tracing lines.
Credits This script is based on the Power Law theory popularized by Giovanni Santostasi and the original Corridor concepts by Harold Christopher Burger .

KC-BB Squeeze Trend Trader█ OVERVIEW
The KC-BB Squeeze Trend Trader identifies volatility compression and expansion by detecting when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels and then release with confirmed momentum. It highlights potential trend-starting breakouts by combining squeeze detection, directional momentum, trend bias, and optional volume filters.
During periods of low volatility, price consolidates and energy builds. When volatility expands again, strong directional moves often follow. This tool helps traders spot those opportunities early with clear visual cues and optional performance tracking.
█ KEY FEATURES
Squeeze detection using Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels
Automatic identification of volatility expansion after the squeeze ends
Optional filters for momentum, trend direction, volume, and signal cooldown
Dynamic color fills for squeeze, bullish expansion, bearish expansion, and neutral states
Dashboard showing squeeze duration, tightness, momentum, trend, and volume context
Optional win-rate analytics using ATR-based target and stop evaluation
Multi-timeframe confirmation for higher-quality breakouts
█ HOW IT WORKS
A squeeze occurs when both Bollinger Bands sit inside the Keltner Channels.
A breakout begins when the Bollinger Bands expand outside the KCs.
Long signals appear when squeeze release aligns with bullish momentum and trend strength.
Short signals appear when bearish momentum and trend conditions agree.
Volume and cooldown filters help reduce noise and avoid low-quality entries.
█ HOW TO USE
Wait for a squeeze period (yellow fill).
Monitor duration and tightness: longer/tighter squeezes often lead to stronger moves.
When a long or short signal appears, use the plotted ATR-based target and stop as reference levels.
Watch for contraction or exit hints when momentum fades or volatility narrows again.
Higher timeframes generally provide cleaner and more reliable signals.
█ TIMEFRAME GUIDANCE
Crypto: 4H or 1D; consider increasing KC multiplier for high volatility.
Forex: 1H–4H; longer squeeze duration can improve selectivity.
Stocks: 1D–1W; consider slightly higher BB multiplier on slow-moving markets.
█ SETTINGS SUMMARY
Adjustable Bollinger Band and Keltner Channel lengths and multipliers
Three momentum modes: Linear Regression, Price–SMA, or ROC
Trend and volume filters (optional)
Configurable minimum squeeze duration and signal cooldown
ATR-based target and stop multipliers
Optional historically tight squeeze filter (percentile-based)
█ ALERTS
Squeeze Detected
Squeeze Released
Long Entry
Short Entry
Exit Hint
Historically Tight Squeeze
█ NOTES
ATR-based win-rate calculations provide simplified performance estimates.
Past behavior does not guarantee future movement.
Use position sizing and risk management appropriate for the instrument and timeframe.
█ CREDITS
Inspired by the Bollinger Band and Keltner Channel squeeze concept popularized by John Carter’s TTM Squeeze, with added enhancements for squeeze strength, filtering, and real-time performance metrics.
Cora Combined Suite v1 [JopAlgo]Cora Combined Suite v1 (CCSV1)
This is an 2 in 1 indicator (Overlay & Oscillator) the Cora Combined Suite v1 .
CCSV1 combines a price-pane Overlay for structure/trend with a compact Oscillator for timing/pressure. It’s designed to be clear, beginner-friendly, and largely automatic: you pick a profile (Scalp / Intraday / Swing), choose whether to run as Overlay or Oscillator, and CCSV1 tunes itself in the background.
What’s inside — at a glance
1) Overlay (price pane)
CoRa Wave: a smooth trend line based on a compound-ratio WMA (CRWMA).
Green when the slope rises (bull bias), Red when it falls (bear bias).
Asymmetric ATR Cloud around the CoRa Wave
Width expands more up when buyer pressure dominates and more down when seller pressure dominates.
Fill is intentionally light, so candlesticks remain readable.
Chop Guard (Range-Lock Gate)
When the cloud stays very narrow versus ATR (classic “dead water”), pullback alerts are muted to avoid noise.
Visuals don’t change—only the alerting logic goes quiet.
Typical Overlay reads
Trend: Follow the CoRa color; green favors long setups, red favors shorts.
Value: Pullbacks into/through the cloud in trend direction are higher-quality than chasing breaks far outside it.
Dominance: A visibly asymmetric cloud hints which side is funding the move (buyers vs sellers).
2) Oscillator (subpane or inline preview)
Stretch-Z (columns): how far price is from the CoRa mean (mean-reversion context), clipped to ±clip.
Near 0 = equilibrium; > +2 / < −2 = stretched/extended.
Slope-Z (line): z-score of CoRa’s slope (momentum of the trend line).
Crossing 0 upward = potential bullish impulse; downward = potential bearish impulse.
VPO (stepline): a normalized Volume-Pressure read (positive = buyers funding, negative = sellers).
Rendered as a clean stepline to emphasize state changes.
Event Bands ±2 (subpane): thin reference lines to spot extension/exhaustion zones fast.
Floor/Ceiling lines (optional): quiet boundaries so the panel doesn’t feel “bottomless.”
Inline vs Subpane
Inline (overlay): the oscillator auto-anchors and scales beneath price, so it never crushes the price scale.
Subpane (raw): move to a new pane for the classic ±clip view (with ±2 bands). Recommended for systematic use.
Why traders like it
Two in one: Structure on the chart, timing in the panel—built to complement each other.
Retail-first automation: Choose Scalp / Intraday / Swing and let CCSV1 auto-tune lengths, clips, and pressure windows.
Robust statistics: On fast, spiky markets/timeframes, it prefers outlier-resistant math automatically for steadier signals.
Optional HTF gate: You can require higher-timeframe agreement for oscillator alerts without changing visuals.
Quick start (simple playbook)
Run As
Overlay for structure: assess trend direction, where value is (the cloud), and whether chop guard is active.
Oscillator for timing: move to a subpane to see Stretch-Z, Slope-Z, VPO, and ±2 bands clearly.
Profile
Scalp (1–5m), Intraday (15–60m), or Swing (4H–1D). CCSV1 adjusts length/clip/pressure windows accordingly.
Overlay entries
Trade with CoRa color.
Prefer pullbacks into/through the cloud (trend direction).
If chop guard is active, wait; let the market “breathe” before engaging.
Oscillator timing
Look for Funded Flips: Slope-Z crossing 0 in the direction of VPO (i.e., momentum + funded pressure).
Use ±2 bands to manage risk: stretched conditions can stall or revert—better to scale or wait for a clean reset.
Optional HTF gate
Enable to green-light only those oscillator alerts that align with your chosen higher timeframe.
What each signal means (plain language)
CoRa turns green/red (Overlay): trend bias shift on your chart.
Cloud width tilts asymmetrically: one side (buyers/sellers) is dominating; extensions on that side are more likely.
Stretch-Z near 0: fair value around CoRa; pullback timing zone.
Stretch-Z > +2 / < −2: extended; watch for slowing momentum or scale decisions.
Slope-Z cross up/down: new impulse starting; combine with VPO sign to avoid unfunded crosses.
VPO positive/negative: net buying/selling pressure funding the move.
Alerts included
Overlay
Pullback Long OK
Pullback Short OK
Oscillator
Funded Flip Up / Funded Flip Down (Slope-Z crosses 0 with VPO agreement)
Pullback Long Ready / Pullback Short Ready (near equilibrium with aligned momentum and pressure)
Exhaustion Risk (Long/Short) (Stretch-Z beyond ±2 with weakening momentum or pressure)
Tip: Keep chart alerts concise and use strategy rules (TP/SL/filters) in your trade plan.
Best practices
One glance workflow
Read Overlay for direction + value.
Use Oscillator for trigger + confirmation.
Pairing
Combine with S/R or your preferred execution framework (e.g., your JopAlgo setups).
The suite is neutral: it won’t force trades; it highlights context and quality.
Markets
Works on crypto, indices, FX, and commodities.
Where real volume is available, VPO is strongest; on synthetic volume, treat VPO as a soft filter.
Timeframes
Use the Profile preset closest to your style; feel free to fine-tune later.
For multi-TF trading, enable the HTF gate on the oscillator alerts only.
Inputs you’ll actually use (the rest can stay on Auto)
Run As: Overlay or Oscillator.
Profile: Scalp / Intraday / Swing.
Oscillator Render: “Subpane (raw)” for a classic panel; “Inline (overlay)” only for a quick preview.
HTF gate (optional): require higher-timeframe Slope-Z agreement for oscillator alerts.
Everything else ships with sensible defaults and auto-logic.
Limitations & tips
Not a strategy: CCSV1 is a decision support tool; you still need your entry/exit rules and risk management.
Non-repainting design: Signals finalize on bar close; intrabar graphics can adjust during the bar (Pine standard).
Very flat sessions: If price and volume are extremely quiet, expect fewer alerts; that restraint is intentional.
Who is this for?
Beginners who want one clean overlay for structure and one simple oscillator for timing—without wrestling settings.
Intermediates seeking a coherent trend/pressure framework with HTF confirmation.
Advanced users who appreciate robust stats and clean engineering behind the visuals.

Aurum DCX AVE Gold and Silver StrategySummary in one paragraph
Aurum DCX AVE is a volatility break strategy for gold and silver on intraday and swing timeframes. It aligns a new Directional Convexity Index with an Adaptive Volatility Envelope and an optional USD/DXY bias so trades appear only when direction quality and expansion agree. It is original because it fuses three pieces rarely combined in one model for metals: a convexity aware trend strength score, a percentile based envelope that widens with regime heat, and an intermarket DXY filter.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Gold and silver futures or spot, other liquid commodities, major indices
• Timeframes. Five minutes to one day. Defaults to 30min for swing pace
• Default demo used in this publication. TVC:GOLD on 30m
• Purpose. Enter confirmed volatility breaks while muting chop using regime heat and USD bias
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. DCX combines DI strength with path efficiency and curvature. AVE blends ATR with a high TR percentile and widens with DCX heat. DXY adds an intermarket bias
• Failure mode addressed. False starts inside compression and unconfirmed breakouts during USD swings
• Testability. Each component has a named input. Entry names L and S are visible in the list of trades
• Portable yardstick. Weekly ATR for stops and R multiples for targets
• Open source. Method and implementation are disclosed for community review
Method overview in plain language
You score direction quality with DCX, size an adaptive envelope with a blend of ATR and a high TR percentile, and only allow breaks that clear the band while DCX is above a heat threshold in the same direction. An optional DXY filter favors long when USD weakens and short when USD strengthens. Orders are bracketed with a Weekly ATR stop and an R multiple target, with optional trailing to the envelope.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range and ATR over user windows. A high TR percentile captures expansion tails used by AVE
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Directional Convexity Index DCX. Measures directional strength with DX, multiplies by path efficiency, blends a curvature term from acceleration, scales to 0 to 100, and uses a rise window
• Adaptive Volatility Envelope AVE. Midline ALMA or HMA or EMA plus bands sized by a blend of ATR and a high TR percentile. The blend weight follows volatility of volatility. Band width widens with DCX heat
• DXY Bias optional. Daily EMA trend of DXY. Long bias when USD weakens. Short bias when USD strengthens
• Risk block. Initial stop equals Weekly ATR times a multiplier. Target equals an R multiple of the initial risk. Optional trailing to AVE band
Fusion rule
• All gates must pass. DCX above threshold and rising. Directional lead agrees. Price breaks the AVE band in the same direction. DXY bias agrees when enabled
Signal rule
• Long. Close above AVE upper and DCX above threshold and DCX rising and plus DI leads and DXY bias is bearish
• Short. Close below AVE lower and DCX above threshold and DCX falling and minus DI leads and DXY bias is bullish
• Exit and flip. Bracket exit at stop or target. Optional trailing to AVE band
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Symbol. Default TVC:GOLD (Correlation Asset for internal logic)
• Signal timeframe. Blank follows the chart
• Confirm timeframe. Default 1 day used by the bias block
Directional Convexity Index
• DCX window. Typical 10 to 21. Higher filters more. Lower reacts earlier
• DCX rise bars. Typical 3 to 6. Higher demands continuation
• DCX entry threshold. Typical 15 to 35. Higher avoids soft moves
• Efficiency floor. Typical 0.02 to 0.06. Stability in quiet tape
• Convexity weight 0..1. Typical 0.25 to 0.50. Higher gives curvature more influence
Adaptive Volatility Envelope
• AVE window. Typical 24 to 48. Higher smooths more
• Midline type. ALMA or HMA or EMA per preference
• TR percentile 0..100. Typical 75 to 90. Higher favors only strong expansions
• Vol of vol reference. Typical 0.05 to 0.30. Controls how much the percentile term weighs against ATR
• Base envelope mult. Typical 1.4 to 2.2. Width of bands
• Regime adapt 0..1. Typical 0.6 to 0.95. How much DCX heat widens or narrows the bands
Intermarket Bias
• Use DXY bias. Default ON
• DXY timeframe. Default 1 day
• DXY trend window. Typical 10 to 50
Risk
• Risk percent per trade. Reporting field. Keep live risk near one to two percent
• Weekly ATR. Default 14. Basis for stops
• Stop ATR weekly mult. Typical 1.5 to 3.0
• Take profit R multiple. Typical 1.5 to 3.0

RSI: chart overlay
This indicator maps RSI thresholds directly onto price. Since the EMA of price aligns with RSI’s 50-line, it draws a volatility-based band around the EMA to reveal levels such as 70 and 30.
By converting RSI values into visible price bands, the overlay lets you see exactly where price would have to move to hit traditional RSI boundaries. These bands adapt in real time to both price movement and market volatility, keeping the classic RSI logic intact while presenting it in the context of price action. This approach helps traders interpret RSI signals without leaving the main chart window.
The calculation uses the same components as the RSI: alternative derivation script: Wilder’s EMA for smoothing, a volatility-based unit for scaling, and a normalization factor. The result is a dynamic band structure on the chart, representing RSI boundary levels in actual price terms.
Key components and calculation breakdown:
Wilder’s EMA
Used as the anchor point for measuring price position.
myEMA = ta.rma(close, Length)
Volatility Unit
Derived from the EMA of absolute close-to-close price changes.
CC_vol = ta.rma(math.abs(close - close ), Length)
Normalization Factor
Scales the volatility unit to align with the RSI formula’s structure.
normalization_factor = 1 / (Length - 1)
Upper and Lower Boundaries
Defines price bands corresponding to selected RSI threshold values.
up_b = myEMA + ((upper - 50) / 50) * (CC_vol / normalization_factor)
down_b = myEMA - ((50 - lower) / 50) * (CC_vol / normalization_factor)
Inputs
RSI length
Upper boundary – RSI level above 50
Lower boundary – RSI level below 50
ON/OFF toggle for 50-point line (EMA of close prices)
ON/OFF toggle for overbought/oversold coloring (use with line chart)
Interpretation:
Each band on the chart represents a chosen RSI level.
When price touches a band, RSI is at that threshold.
The distance between moving average and bands adjusts automatically with volatility and your selected RSI length.
All calculations remain fully consistent with standard RSI values.
Feedback and code suggestions are welcome, especially regarding implementation efficiency and customization.
Regression Channel (ShareScope-style, parallel)What it does
Replicates ShareScope’s Trend of displayed data look: a single straight linear-regression line (dashed) across a chosen window with parallel, constant-width bands above and below, plus optional shading.
Use it to see the overall trend gradient for a period and a statistically sized channel based on the fit’s residual error.
How it works (math, short)
Computes an OLS regression once over the analysis window.
Residual standard error s is derived from SSE and degrees of freedom (n−2).
Band half-width is constant across the window:
Mean CI (narrower): half = z * s / √n
Prediction (wider): half = z * s * √(1 + 1/n)
Three straight, parallel lines are drawn from the regression endpoints; midline is dashed.
This is intentionally not a tapered CI (which widens at the ends). It matches the visual behaviour of ShareScope’s shaded trend line channel.
Inputs
Source – Price series (Close, High, Low, HL2, etc.).
Use last N bars / N (bars) – Rolling window length.
From / To (date mode) – Alternative fixed date window.
Confidence (%) – 90 / 95 / 99 / Custom (uses z≈t).
Custom Z (t) – Override the quantile if desired.
Prediction bands – Use wider prediction envelope instead of mean CI.
Shade region + colors / opacity / line width.
Usage
To mimic ShareScope exactly, pick the same date span (use date mode) and set Confidence 99%.
Choose Prediction OFF for a tighter “confidence” look; ON for a wider, more permissive channel.
If ShareScope used High as source, set Source = High here as well.
Notes & limitations
TradingView does not expose the visible viewport to Pine. The script cannot auto-read “displayed data.” Use last N bars or date range.
Bands are parallel by design. Prices may close outside; the channel does not bend.
Window capped at 5,000 bars for performance. No alerts are emitted.
Differences vs TV’s native tools
Linear Regression (drawing) – manual object; no statistical sizing or shading.
Linear Regression Channel (indicator) – uses price standard deviations around the regression; width is a user stdev multiple.
This script – uses residual error of the OLS fit and a z/t quantile to size a statistically meaningful parallel channel.
Changelog
r3.1 – Guard fix (no return at top level), minor refactor, stable line updates.
r3 – Switched to single-fit OLS with parallel constant-width bands (ShareScope look).
(Earlier experimental builds r1–r2.2 implemented rolling/tapered CI; superseded.)

BBKC Combined Channels OverlayBBKC Combined Channels Overlay (Volatility & Mean Reversion)This indicator provides a clean, single-view envelope combining the Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) directly onto your price chart. It is an essential tool for traders operating with Volatility Compression (The Squeeze) and Mean Reversion strategies in fast-moving markets like Futures, High BTC Beta Equities, and Crypto. The goal of this tool is twofold: to visually frame the market's current volatility state and to identify high-probability entry points based on expansion or extreme contraction. How to Use the BBKC Overlay: Spotting the Squeeze (Accumulation Phase):The Squeeze is identified when the Bollinger Bands (BB) contract and fit inside the Keltner Channels (KC).The area is clearly marked with a subtle Orange Background Highlight on the main chart. This is the Accumulation phase, signaling low volatility before a potential large directional move. Trading Mean Reversion: When price pushes aggressively outside the outermost bands (the BB Upper/Lower), it signals an extreme volatility expansion and over-extension. This is a strong setup for mean reversion—a high-probability trade targeting a snap-back towards the central Basis Line (SMA).Customizing for Extreme Compression: For traders looking only for the tightest, highest-probability Squeezes, adjust the following setting: KC Multiplier (ATR): Lower this value from the default of 1.5 down to 1.25 or 1.0. This narrows the KC, forcing the Bollinger Bands to contract even further to trigger the Squeeze signal, thus filtering for only the most minimal volatility. Recommended Synergy: For a complete volatility system, pair this BBKC Combined Channels Overlay (your visualization tool) with the BBKC Squeeze Indicator (the sub-pane momentum histogram).Overlay (Main Chart): Shows where the Squeeze is occurring and identifies mean reversion targets. Squeeze Indicator (Lower Pane): Shows if the Squeeze is active and the directional momentum building up, helping you time the breakout entry for the Manipulation/Distribution phase.
BB next+2This indicator extends the standard Bollinger Bands by allowing you to project future Bollinger Bands based on assumed closing prices for the next trading day (+1) and the day after (+2).
Key Features:
Plots standard Bollinger Bands (supports SMA, EMA, etc.)
Allows manual input of assumed closing prices for the next trading day (+1) and the day after (+2)
Displays projected Bollinger Bands (basis, upper, and lower) based on the input values
Option to restrict display to the latest bar or confirmed bars only
The Kyber Cell's – TTM Squeeze ProThe Kyber Cell’s TTM Squeeze Pro
TTM Squeeze + ALMA + VWAP for Precision Trade Timing
⸻
1. Introduction
Kyber Cell’s Squeeze Pro is a comprehensive, all-in-one overlay indicator built on top of John Carter’s famous TTM Squeeze concept. It integrates advanced momentum and trend analysis using Arnaud Legoux Moving Averages (ALMA), a scroll-aware VWAP with optional deviation bands, and a clean, user-friendly visual system. The goal is simple: give traders a clear and configurable chart that identifies price compression, detects release moments, confirms direction, and helps manage risk and reward visually and effectively.
This tool is intended for traders of all styles — scalpers, swing traders, or intraday strategists — looking for cleaner signals, better visual cues, and more confidence in entry/exit timing.
⸻
2. Core Concepts
At its heart, the Squeeze Pro builds an in-chart visualization of the TTM Squeeze, a strategy that identifies when price volatility compresses inside a Bollinger Band that is narrower than a Keltner Channel. These moments often precede explosive breakouts. This version categorizes squeezes into three levels of compression:
• Blue Dot – Low Compression
• Orange Dot – Medium Compression
• Red Dot – High Compression
When the squeeze “fires” (i.e., the Bollinger Bands expand beyond all Keltner thresholds), the indicator flips to a Green Dot, signaling potential entry if confirmed by trend direction.
The indicator also includes a momentum model using linear regression on smoothed price deviation to determine directional bias. Momentum is further reinforced by a customizable trend engine, allowing you to switch between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 logic.
An ALMA ribbon is plotted across the chart to represent smoothed trend strength with minimal lag, and a scroll-aware VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) line, optionally with ±σ bands, helps confirm mean-reversion or momentum continuation setups.
⸻
3. Visual Components
Squeeze Pro replaces the traditional histogram with bar coloring logic based on your selected overlay mode:
• Momentum Mode colors bars based on whether momentum is rising or falling and in which direction (aqua/blue for bullish, red/yellow for bearish).
• Trend Mode colors bars using EMA or HMA logic to identify whether price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral trend state.
A colored backdrop is triggered when a squeeze fires and momentum direction is confirmed. It remains green for bullish runs and red for bearish runs. The background disappears when the trend exhausts or reverses.
Each squeeze level (low, medium, high) is plotted as tiny dots above or below candles, with configurable colors. On the exact bar where the squeeze fires, the indicator optionally plots entry markers — either arrows or triangles — which can be placed with adjustable padding using ATR. These provide an at-a-glance signal of possible long or short entries.
EXPERIMENTAL : For risk and reward management, protective stop lines and limit targets can be toggled on. Stops are calculated using either recent swing highs/lows or a fixed ATR multiple, depending on user preference. Limit targets are calculated from entry price using ATR-based projections.
All colors are customizable.
⸻
4. Multi-Timeframe Squeeze Panel
An optional MTF Squeeze Panel appears in the top-right corner of the chart, displaying the squeeze status across multiple timeframes — from 1-minute to Monthly. Each timeframe is color-coded:
• Red for High Compression
• Orange for Medium Compression
• Blue for Low Compression
• Yellow for Open/No Compression
This provides rapid context for whether multiple timeframes are simultaneously compressing (a common precursor to explosive moves), helping traders align higher- and lower-timeframe signals. Colors are customizable.
The MTF panel dynamically adjusts to chart space and only renders the selected intervals for clarity and performance.
⸻
5. Inputs and Configuration Options
Squeeze Pro offers a rich configuration suite:
• Squeeze Settings: Control the Bollinger Band standard deviation, and three separate Keltner Channel multipliers (for low, medium, and high compression zones).
• ALMA Controls: Adjust the smoothing length, offset, and σ factor to control ribbon sensitivity.
• VWAP Options: Toggle VWAP on/off and optionally show ±σ bands for mean reversion signals.
• Entry Markers: Customize marker shape (arrow or triangle), size (tiny to huge), color, and padding using ATR multipliers.
• Stops and Targets:
• Choose between Swing High/Low or ATR-based stop logic.
• Define separate ATR lengths and multipliers for stops and targets.
• Independently toggle their visibility and color.
• Bar Coloring Mode: Select either Momentum or Trend logic for bar overlays.
• Trend Engine: Choose between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 for identifying trend direction.
• Squeeze Dot Colors: Customize the colors for each compression level and release state.
• MTF Panel: Toggle visibility per timeframe — from 1m to Monthly.
This high degree of customization ensures that the indicator can adapt to nearly any trading style or preference.
⸻
6. Trade Workflow Suggestions
To get the most out of this tool, traders can follow a consistent workflow:
1. Watch Dot Progression: Blue → Orange → Red indicates increasing compression and likelihood of breakout.
2. Enter on Green Dot: When the squeeze fires (green dot), confirm entry direction with bar color and backdrop.
3. Use Confirmation Tools:
• ALMA should slope in the trade direction.
• VWAP should support the price move or confirm expansion away from mean.
4. Manage Risk and Reward (experimental):
• Respect stop-loss placements (Swing/ATR).
• Use ATR-based limit targets if enabled.
5. Exit:
• Consider exiting when momentum crosses zero.
• Or exit when the background color disappears, signaling potential trend exhaustion.
⸻
7. Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions to notify you when a squeeze fires in either direction:
• “Squeeze Long”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bullish.
• “Squeeze Short”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bearish.
You can use these alerts for automation or to stay notified of new setups even when away from the screen.
⸻
8. Disclaimer
This indicator is designed for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading is inherently risky, and any decisions based on this tool should be made with full awareness of personal risk tolerance and capital exposure.
Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength.
Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength)
Buy Signal:
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action.
RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest.
Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction.
Sell Signal (Short):
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly.
RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest.
Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.
ka66: Triple Keltner Around SourceThis is an indicator-on-indicator which draws Keltner Bands (ATR Bands) around any selected Basis Source, instead of hardcoding a moving average, etc. This allows you to put bands around any sort of esoteric moving average of your choice, or even just around price data like OHLC, HLC3, and so on.
It's an enhancement on my prior Multi ATR Channels script at
Written in Pine v6 and allowing custom timeframe selection.
For example, the published chart shows the bands place around a Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), plotted in blue dots.
You would use it for anything that you would use plain Keltners for:
Mean Reversion
Breakouts
Take Profit and Stop Loss Estimation
But with any basis that you deem more suitable for your purposes.
Smart Fib StrategySmart Fibonacci Strategy
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of adaptive SMA entries with Fibonacci-based exit levels to create a comprehensive trend-following system that self-optimizes based on historical market conditions. Credit goes to Julien_Eche who created the "Best SMA Finder" which received an Editors Pick award.
Strategy Overview
The Smart Fibonacci Strategy employs a two-pronged approach to trading:
1. Intelligent Entries: Uses a self-optimizing SMA (Simple Moving Average) to identify optimal entry points. The system automatically tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data to determine which period provides the most robust trading signals.
2. Fibonacci-Based Exits: Implements ATR-adjusted Fibonacci bands to establish precise exit targets, with risk-management options ranging from conservative to aggressive.
This dual methodology creates a balanced system that adapts to changing market conditions while providing clear visual reference points for trade management.
Key Features
- **Self-Optimizing Entries**: Automatically calculates the most profitable SMA length based on historical performance
- **Adjustable Risk Parameters**: Choose between low-risk and high-risk exit targets
- **Directional Flexibility**: Trade long-only, short-only, or both directions
- **Visualization Tools**: Customizable display of entry lines and exit bands
- **Performance Statistics**: Comprehensive stats table showing key metrics
- **Smoothing Option**: Reduces noise in the Fibonacci bands for cleaner signals
Trading Rules
Entry Signals
- **Long Entry**: When price crosses above the blue center line (optimal SMA)
- **Short Entry**: When price crosses below the blue center line (optimal SMA)
### Exit Levels
- **Low Risk Option**: Exit at the first Fibonacci band (1.618 * ATR)
- **High Risk Option**: Exit at the second Fibonacci band (2.618 * ATR)
Strategy Parameters
Display Settings
- Toggle visibility of the stats table and indicator components
Strategy Settings
- Select trading direction (long, short, or both)
- Choose exit method (low risk or high risk)
- Set minimum trades threshold for SMA optimization
SMA Settings
- Option to use auto-optimized or fixed-length SMA
- Customize SMA length when using fixed option
Fibonacci Settings
- Adjust ATR period and SMA basis for Fibonacci bands
- Enable/disable smoothing function
- Customize Fibonacci ratio multipliers
Appearance Settings
- Modify colors, line widths, and transparency
Optimization Methodology
The strategy employs a sophisticated optimization algorithm that:
1. Tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data
2. Evaluates performance based on trade count, profit factor, and win rate
3. Calculates a "robustness score" that balances profitability with statistical significance
4. Selects the SMA length with the highest robustness score
This ensures that the strategy's entry signals are continuously adapting to the most effective parameters for current market conditions.
Risk Management
Position sizing is fixed at $2,000 per trade, allowing for consistent exposure across all trading setups. The Fibonacci-based exit system provides two distinct risk management approaches:
- **Conservative Approach**: Using the first Fibonacci band for exits produces more frequent but smaller wins
- **Aggressive Approach**: Using the second Fibonacci band allows for larger potential gains at the cost of increased volatility
Ideal Usage
This strategy is best suited for:
- Trending markets with clear directional moves
- Timeframes from 4H to Daily for most balanced results
- Instruments with moderate volatility (stocks, forex, commodities)
Traders can further enhance performance by combining this strategy with broader market analysis to confirm the prevailing trend direction.
Volumetric Entropy IndexVolumetric Entropy Index (VEI)
A volume-based drift analyzer that captures directional pressure, trend agreement, and entropy structure using smoothed volume flows.
---
🧠 What It Does:
• Volume Drift EMAs : Shows buy/sell pressure momentum with adaptive smoothing.
• Dynamic Bands : Bollinger-style volatility wrappers react to expanding/contracting drift.
• Baseline Envelope : Clean structural white rails for mean-reversion zones or trend momentum.
• Background Shading : Highlights when both sides (up & down drift) are in agreement — green for bullish, red for bearish.
• Alerts Included : Drift alignment, crossover events, net drift shifts, and strength spikes.
---
🔍 What Makes It Different:
• Most volume indicators rely on bars, oscillators, or OBV-style accumulation — this doesn’t.
• It compares directional EMAs of raw volume to isolate real-time bias and acceleration.
• It visualizes the twisting tension between volume forces — not just price reaction.
• Designed to show when volatility is building inside the volume mechanics before price follows.
• Modular — every element is optional, so you can run it lean or fully loaded.
---
📊 How to Use It:
• Drift EMAs : Watch for one side consistently dominating — sharp spikes often precede breakouts.
• Bands : When they tighten and start expanding, it often signals directional momentum forming.
• Envelope Lines : Use as high-probability reversal or continuation zones. Bands crossing envelopes = potential thrust.
• Background Color : Green/red backgrounds confirm volume agreement. Can be used as a filter for other signals.
• Net Drift : Optional smoothed oscillator showing the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. Crosses above or below zero signal directional bias shifts.
• Drift Strength : Measures pressure buildup — spikes often correlate with large moves.
---
⚙️ Full Customization:
• Turn every layer on/off independently
• Modify all colors, transparencies, and line widths
• Adjust band width multiplier and envelope offset (%)
• Toggle bonus plots like drift strength and net baseline
---
🧪 Experimental Tools:
• Smoothed Net Drift trace
• Drift Strength signal
• Envelope lines and dynamic entropy bands with adjustable math

External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.
Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels [TANHEF]█ Overview:
The 'Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels ' plots multiple dynamic regression channels (or bands) with unique selectable calculation types for both regression and deviation. It leverages a variety of techniques, customizable anchor sources to determine regression lengths, and user-defined criteria to highlight potential opportunities.
Before getting started, it's worth exploring all sections, but make sure to review the Setup & Configuration section in particular. It covers key parameters like anchor type, regression length, bias, and signal criteria—essential for aligning the tool with your trading strategy.
█ Key Features:
⯁ Multi-Regression Capability:
Plot up to three distinct regression channels and/or bands simultaneously, each with customizable anchor types to define their length.
⯁ Regression & Deviation Methods:
Regressions Types:
Standard: Uses ordinary least squares to compute a simple linear trend by averaging the data and deriving a slope and endpoints over the lookback period.
Ridge: Introduces L2 regularization to stabilize the slope by penalizing large coefficients, which helps mitigate multicollinearity in the data.
Lasso: Uses L1 regularization through soft-thresholding to shrink less important coefficients, yielding a simpler model that highlights key trends.
Elastic Net: Combines L1 and L2 penalties to balance coefficient shrinkage and selection, producing a robust weighted slope that handles redundant predictors.
Huber: Implements the Huber loss with iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) and EMA-style weights to reduce the impact of outliers while estimating the slope.
Least Absolute Deviations (LAD): Reduces absolute errors using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), yielding a slope less sensitive to outliers than squared-error methods.
Bayesian Linear: Merges prior beliefs with weighted data through Bayesian updating, balancing the prior slope with data evidence to derive a probabilistic trend.
Deviation Types:
Regressive Linear (Reverse): In reverse order (recent to oldest), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope.
Progressive Linear (Forward): In forward order (oldest to recent), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope.
Balanced Linear: In forward order (oldest to newest), compute regression, then pair to source data in reverse order (newest to oldest) to compute weighted squared differences.
Mean Absolute: Compute weighted absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value, then aggregate them to yield an average deviation.
Median Absolute: Determine the weighted median of the absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value to capture the central tendency of deviations.
Percent: Compute deviation as a percentage of a base value by multiplying that base by the specified percentage, yielding symmetric positive and negative deviations.
Fitted: Compare a regression line with high and low series values by computing weighted differences to determine the maximum upward and downward deviations.
Average True Range: Iteratively compute the weighted average of absolute differences between the data and its regression line to yield an ATR-style deviation measure.
Bias:
Bias: Applies EMA or inverse-EMA style weighting to both Regression and/or Deviation, emphasizing either recent or older data.
⯁ Customizable Regression Length via Anchors:
Anchor Types:
Fixed: Length.
Bar-Based: Bar Highest/Lowest, Volume Highest/Lowest, Spread Highest/Lowest.
Correlation: R Zero, R Highest, R Lowest, R Absolute.
Slope: Slope Zero, Slope Highest, Slope Lowest, Slope Absolute.
Indicator-Based: Indicators Highest/Lowest (ADX, ATR, BBW, CCI, MACD, RSI, Stoch).
Time-Based: Time (Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Custom).
Session-Based: Session (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney, Custom).
Event-Based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits.
External: Input Source Highest/Lowest.
Length Selection:
Maximum: The highest allowed regression length (also fixed value of “Length” anchor).
Minimum: The shortest allowed length, ensuring enough bars for a valid regression.
Step: The sampling interval (e.g., 1 checks every bar, 2 checks every other bar, etc.). Increasing the step reduces the loading time, most applicable to “Slope” and “R” anchors.
Adaptive lookback:
Adaptive Lookback: Enable to display regression regardless of too few historical bars.
⯁ Selecting Bias:
Bias applies separately to regression and deviation.
Positive values emphasize recent data (EMA-style), negative invert, and near-zero maintains balance. (e.g., a length 100, bias +1 gives the newest price ~7× more weight than the oldest).
It's best to apply bias to both (regression and deviation) or just the deviation. Biasing only regression may distort deviation visually, while biasing both keeps their relationship intuitive. Using bias only for deviation scales it without altering regression, offering unique analysis.
⯁ Scale Awareness:
Supports linear and logarithmic price scaling, the regression and deviations adjust accordingly.
⯁ Signal Generation & Alerts:
Customizable entry/exit signals and alerts, detailed in the dedicated section below.
⯁ Visual Enhancements & Real-World Examples:
Optional on-chart table display summarizing regression input criteria (display type, anchor type, source, regression type, regression bias, deviation type, deviation bias, deviation multiplier) and key calculated metrics (regression length, slope, Pearson’s R, percentage position within deviations, etc.) for quick reference.
█ Understanding R (Pearson Correlation Coefficient):
Pearson’s R gauges data alignment to a straight-line trend within the regression length:
Range: R varies between –1 and +1.
R = +1 → Perfect positive correlation (strong uptrend).
R = 0 → No linear relationship detected.
R = –1 → Perfect negative correlation (strong downtrend).
This script uses Pearson’s R as an anchor, adjusting regression length to target specific R traits. Strong R (±1) follows the regression channel, while weak R (0) shows inconsistency.
█ Understanding the Slope:
The slope is the direction and rate at which the regression line rises or falls per bar:
Positive Slope (>0): Uptrend – Steeper means faster increase.
Negative Slope (<0): Downtrend – Steeper means sharper drop.
Zero or Near-Zero Slope: Sideways – Indicating range-bound conditions.
This script uses highest and lowest slope as an anchor, where extremes highlight strong moves and trend lines, while values near zero indicate sideways action and possible support/resistance.
█ Setup & Configuration:
Whether you’re new to this script or want to quickly adjust all critical parameters, the panel below shows the main settings available. You can customize everything from the anchor type and maximum length to the bias, signal conditions, and more.
Scale (select Log Scale for logarithmic, otherwise linear scale).
Display (regression channel and/or bands).
Anchor (how regression length is determined).
Length (control bars analyzed):
• Max – Upper limit.
• Min – Prevents regression from becoming too short.

Signal Criteria:
• % (Price vs Deviation) – (0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression, 100% = upper deviation).
• R – (0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = +slope, <0 = -slope).
Table (analyze table of input settings, calculated results, and signal criteria).
Adaptive Lookback (display regression while too few historical bars).
Multiple Regressions (steps 2 to 7 apply to #1, #2, and #3 regressions).
█ Signal Generation & Alerts:
The script offers customizable entry and exit signals with flexible criteria and visual cues (background color, dots, or triangles). Alerts can also be triggered for these opportunities.
Percent Direction Criteria:
(0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression line, 100% = upper deviation)
Above %: Triggers if price is above a specified percent of the deviation channel.
Below %: Triggers if price is below a specified percent of the deviation channel.
(Blank): Ignores the percent‐based condition.
Pearson's R (Correlation) Direction Criteria:
(0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = positive slope, <0 = negative slope)
Above R / Below R: Compares the correlation to a threshold.
Above│R│ / Below│R│: Uses absolute correlation to focus on strength, ignoring direction.
Zero to R: Checks if R is in the 0-to-threshold range.
(Blank): Ignores correlation-based conditions.
█ User Tips & Best Practices:
Choose an anchor type that suits your strategy, “Bar Highest/Lowest” automatically spots commonly used regression zones, while “│R│ Highest” targets strong linear trends.
Consider enabling or disabling the Adaptive Lookback feature to ensure you always have a plotted regression if your chart doesn’t meet the maximum-length requirement.
Use a small Step size (1) unless relying on R-correlation or slope-based anchors as the are time-consuming to calculate. Larger steps speed up calculations but reduce precision.
Fine-tune settings such as lookback periods, regression bias, and deviation multipliers, or trend strength. Small adjustments can significantly affect how channels and signals behave.
To reduce loading time , show only channels (not bands) and disable signals, this limits calculations to the last bar and supports more extreme criteria.
Use the table display to monitor anchor type, calculated length, slope, R value, and percent location at a glance—especially if you have multiple regressions visible simultaneously.
█ Conclusion:
With its blend of advanced regression techniques, flexible deviation options, and a wide range of anchor types, this indicator offers a highly adaptable linear regression channeling system. Whether you're anchoring to time, price extremes, correlation, slope, or external events, the tool can be shaped to fit a variety of strategies. Combined with customizable signals and alerts, it may help highlight areas of confluence and support a more structured approach to identifying potential opportunities.
Nebula Volatility and Compression Radar (TechnoBlooms)This dynamic indicator spots volatility compression and expansion zones, highlighting breakout opportunities with precision.

Key Features:-
1. Gradient Bollinger Bands - Visually stunning bands with gradient fills for clear price boundaries.
The gradient filling is coded simply so that even beginners can easily understand the concept. Trader can change the gradient color according to their preference.
fill(pupBB, pbaseBB,upBB,baseBB,top_color=color.rgb(238, 236, 94), bottom_color=color.new(chart.bg_color,100),title = "fill color", display =display.all,fillgaps = true,editable = false)
fill(pbaseBB, plowBB,baseBB,lowBB,top_color=color.new(chart.bg_color,100),bottom_color=color.rgb(230, 20, 30),title = "fill color", display =display.all,fillgaps = true,editable = false)
These two lines are used for giving gradient shades. You can change the colors as per your wish to give preferred color combination.

🔵 For Swing Trading & LEAPS (Weekly Chart Setup - Default Settings)
• Slower MAs provide a broader view of trend structure.
• Helps capture multi-week trend shifts and confirm entry points for longer-term trades.
• Weekly ATR bands highlight when stocks are entering overextended conditions.
💡 Example:
Let’s say you’re looking at TSLA on a Weekly Chart using the default settings. You notice that price crosses above the continuation MA (SSL2) while remaining above the baseline (trend power MA). The bar turns green, and price breaks above ATR resistance, signaling a strong bullish continuation. This could be a great opportunity to enter a long-term swing trade or LEAPS options position.
On the flip side, if price reverses below the Exit MA (SSL3) and turns red while breaking the lower ATR band, it might signal a good time to exit longs or enter a short trade.
