Trend Finder Using Pull Back Method {Darkoexe}This indicator predicts trends using pull backs structure to predict the trend direction. It builds off the flag pattern concept but it uses precise precise measurements to determine trend direction.
A pull back occurs every time the price direction switches then closes either below or above the open of the previous candle depending on the type of pull back, bullish or bearish.
For an up trend to be a defined, when a bullish pull back occurs and does not go below the previous low, if the price then passes above the start of the pull back, an up trend signal will be printed. Only bullish pull backs will be displayed during an up trend.
For a down trend to be defined, when a bearish pull back occurs and does not go above the previous high, if the price then passes below the start of the pull back, a down trend signal will be printed. Only bearish pull backs will be displayed during a down trend.
If the conditions for an up trend or down trend are not met, no trend will be printed. Both bearish and bullish pull backs will be displayed during a no trend.
All the labels colors can be changed.

Dynamic Volatility EnvelopeDynamic Volatility Envelope: Indicator Overview
The Dynamic Volatility Envelope is an advanced, multi-faceted technical indicator designed to provide a comprehensive view of market trends, volatility, and potential future price movements. It centers around a customizable linear regression line, enveloped by dynamically adjusting volatility bands. The indicator offers rich visual feedback through gradient coloring, candle heatmaps, a background volatility pulse, and an on-chart trend strength meter.
Core Calculation Mechanism
Linear Regression Core :
-A central linear regression line is calculated based on a user-defined source (e.g., close, hl2) and lookback period.
-The regression line can be optionally smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to reduce noise.
-The slope of this regression line is continuously calculated to determine the current trend direction and strength.
Volatility Channel :
-Dynamic bands are plotted above and below a central basis line. This basis is typically the calculated regression line but shifts to an EMA in Keltner mode.
-The width of these bands is determined by market volatility, using one of three user-selectable modes:
ATR Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Standard Deviation Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Standard Deviation of the source data.
Keltner Mode (EMA-based ATR) : ATR-based bands are plotted around a central Keltner EMA line, offering a smoother channel.
The channel helps identify dynamic support and resistance levels and assess market volatility.
Future Projection :
The indicator can project the current regression line and its associated volatility bands into the future for a user-defined number of bars. This provides a visual guide for potential future price pathways based on current trend and volatility characteristics.
Candle Heatmap Coloring :
-Candle bodies and/or wicks/borders can be colored based on the price's position within the upper and lower volatility bands.
-Colors transition in a gradient from bearish (when price is near the lower band) through neutral (mid-channel) to bullish (when price is near the upper band), providing an intuitive visual cue of price action relative to the dynamic envelope.
Background Volatility Pulse :
The chart background color can be set to dynamically shift based on a ratio of short-term to long-term ATR. This creates a "pulse" effect, where the background subtly changes color to indicate rising or falling market volatility.
Trend Strength Meter :
An on-chart text label displays the current trend status (e.g., "Strong Bullish", "Neutral", "Bearish") based on the calculated slope of the regression line relative to user-defined thresholds for normal and strong trends.
Key Features & Components
-Dynamic Linear Regression Line: Core trend indicator with optional smoothing and slope-based gradient coloring.
-Multi-Mode Volatility Channel: Choose between ATR, Standard Deviation, or Keltner (EMA-based ATR) calculations for band width.
-Customizable Vertical Gradient Channel Fills: Visually distinct fills for upper and lower channel segments with user-defined top/bottom colors and gradient spread.
-Future Projection: Extrapolates regression line and volatility bands to forecast potential price paths.
-Price-Action Based Candle Heatmap: Intuitive candle coloring based on position within the volatility channel, with adjustable gradient midpoint.
-Volatility-Reactive Background Gradient: Subtle background color shifts to reflect changes in market volatility.
-On-Chart Trend Strength Meter: Clear textual display of current trend direction and strength.
-Extensive Visual Customization: Fine-tune colors, line styles, widths, and gradient aggressiveness for most visual elements.
-Comprehensive Tooltips: Detailed explanations for every input setting, ensuring ease of use and understanding.
Visual Elements Explained
Regression Line : The primary trend line. Its color dynamically changes (e.g., green for uptrend, red-pink for downtrend, neutral for flat) based on its slope, with smooth gradient transitions.
Volatility Channel :
Upper & Lower Bands : These lines form the outer boundaries of the envelope, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Channel Fill : The area between the band center and the outer bands is filled with a vertical gradient. For example, the upper band fill might transition from a darker green near the center to a lighter green at the upper band.
Band Borders : The lines outlining the upper and lower bands, with customizable color and width.
Future Projection Lines & Fill :
Projected Regression Line : An extension of the current regression line into the future, typically styled differently (e.g., dashed).
Projected Channel Bands : Extensions of the upper and lower volatility bands.
Projected Area Fill : A semi-transparent fill between the projected upper and lower bands.
Candle Heatmap Coloring : When enabled, candles are colored based on their closing price's relative position within the channel. Bullish colors appear when price is in the upper part of the channel, bearish in the lower, and neutral in the middle. Users can choose to color the entire candle body or just the wicks and borders.
Background Volatility Pulse : The chart's background color subtly shifts (e.g., between a calm green and an agitated red-pink) to reflect the current volatility regime.
Trend Strength Meter : A text label (e.g., "TREND: STRONG BULLISH") positioned on the chart, providing an at-a-glance summary of the trend.
Configuration Options
Users can tailor the indicator extensively via the settings panel, with options logically grouped:
Core Analysis Engine : Adjust regression source data, lookback period, and EMA smoothing for the regression line.
Regression Line Visuals : Control visibility, line width, trend-based colors (uptrend, downtrend, flat), slope thresholds for trend definition, strong slope multiplier (for Trend Meter), and color gradient sharpness.
Volatility Channel Configuration : Select band calculation mode (ATR, StdDev, Keltner), set relevant periods and multipliers. Customize colors for vertical gradient fills (upper/lower, top/bottom), border line colors, widths, and the gradient spread factor for fills.
Future Projection Configuration : Toggle visibility, set projection length (number of bars), line style, and colors for projected regression and band areas.
Appearance & Candle Theme : Set default bull/bear candle colors, enable/disable candle heatmap, choose if body color matches heatmap, and configure heatmap gradient target colors (bull, neutral, bear) and the gradient's midpoint.
Background Volatility Pulse : Enable/disable the background effect and configure short/long ATR periods for the volatility calculation.
Trend Strength Meter : Enable/disable the meter, and choose its on-chart position and text size.
Interpretation Notes
-The Regression Line is the primary indicator of trend direction. Its slope and color provide immediate insight.
-The Volatility Bands serve as dynamic support and resistance zones. Price approaching or touching these bands may indicate potential turning points or breakouts. The width of the channel itself reflects market volatility – widening suggests increasing volatility, while narrowing suggests consolidation.
Future Projections are not predictions but rather an extension of current conditions. They can help visualize potential areas where price might interact with projected support/resistance if the current trend and volatility persist.
Candle Heatmap Coloring offers a quick visual assessment of where price is trading within the dynamic envelope, highlighting strength or weakness relative to the channel.
The Background Volatility Pulse gives a contextual feel for overall market agitation or calmness.
This indicator is designed to be a comprehensive analytical tool. Its signals and visualizations are best used in conjunction with other technical analysis techniques, price action study, and robust risk management practices. It is not intended as a standalone trading system.

Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

Support BandsSupport Bands – Discount Zones for Bitcoin
⚡Overview:
-The Support Bands indicator identifies one of the most tested and respected support zones for Bitcoin using moving averages from higher timeframes.
-These zones are visualized through colored bands (blue, white, and violet), simplifying the decision making process especially for less experienced traders who seek high-probability areas to accumulate Bitcoin during retracements.
-Band levels are based on manual backtesting and real-world price behavior throughout Bitcoin’s history.
-Each zone reflects a different degree of support strength, from temporary pullback zones to historical bottoms.
⚡️ Key Characteristics:
-Highlights discount zones where Bitcoin has historically shown strong reactions.
-Uses 3 different levels of supports based on EMA/SMA combinations.
-Offers a clean, non-intrusive overlay that reduces chart clutter.
⚡ How to Use:
-Open your chart on the 1W timeframe and select the BTC Bitstamp or BLX symbol, as they provide the most complete historical data, ensuring optimal performance of the indicator.
-Use the bands as reference zones for support and potential pullbacks.
- Level 3 (violet band) historically marks the bottom of Bitcoin bear markets and is ideal for long-term entries during deep corrections.
- Level 2 (white band) often signals macro reaccumulation zones but usually requires 1–3 months of consolidation before a breakout. If the price closes below and then retests this level as resistance for 1–2 weekly candles, it often marks the start of a macro downtrend.
-Level 1 (blue band) acts as short-term support during strong bullish moves, typically after a successful rebound from Level 2.
⚡ What Makes It Unique:
- This script merges moving averages per level into three simplified bands for clearer analysis.
-Reduces chart noise by avoiding multiple overlapping lines, helping you make faster and cleaner decisions.
- Built from manual market study based on recurring Bitcoin behavior, not just random code.
-Historically backtested:
-Level 3 (violet band) until today has always marked the bitcoin bearmarket bottom.
- Level 2 (white band) is the strongest support during bull markets; losing it often signals a macro trend reversal.
- Level 1 is frequently retested during impulsive rallies and can act as short-term support or resistance.
⚡ Disclaimer:
-This script is a visual tool to assist with market analysis.
-It does not generate buy or sell signals, nor does it predict future movements.
-Historical performance is not indicative of future results.
-Always use independent judgment and proper risk management.
⚡ Why Use Support Bands:
-Ideal for traders who want clarity without dozens of lines on their charts.
- Helps identify logical zones for entry or reaccumulation.
- Based on actual market behavior rather than hypothetical setups.
-If the blue band (Level 1) doesn't hold as support, the price often moves to the white band (Level 2), and if that fails too, the violet band (Level 3) is typically the last strong support. By dividing your capital into three planned entries, one at each level,you can manage risk more effectively compared to entering blindly without this structure.
ADX and DI - Trader FelipeADX and DI - Trader Felipe
This indicator combines the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to help traders assess market trends and their strength. It is designed to provide a clear view of whether the market is in a trending phase (either bullish or bearish) and helps identify potential entry and exit points.
What is ADX and DI?
DI+ (Green Line):
DI+ measures the strength of upward (bullish) price movements. When DI+ is above DI-, it signals that the market is experiencing upward momentum.
DI- (Red Line):
DI- measures the strength of downward (bearish) price movements. When DI- is above DI+, it suggests that the market is in a bearish phase, with downward momentum.
ADX (Blue Line):
ADX quantifies the strength of the trend, irrespective of whether it is bullish or bearish. The higher the ADX, the stronger the trend:
ADX > 20: Indicates a trending market (either up or down).
ADX < 20: Indicates a weak or sideways market with no clear trend.
Threshold Line (Gray Line):
This horizontal line, typically set at 20, represents the threshold for identifying whether the market is trending or not. If ADX is above 20, the market is considered to be in a trend. If ADX is below 20, it suggests that the market is not trending and is likely in a consolidation phase.
Summary of How to Use the Indicator:
Trend Confirmation: Use ADX > 20 to confirm a trending market. If ADX is below 20, avoid trading.
Long Entry: Enter a long position when DI+ > DI- and ADX > 20.
Short Entry: Enter a short position when DI- > DI+ and ADX > 20.
Avoid Sideways Markets: Do not trade when ADX is below 20. Look for other strategies for consolidation phases.
Exit Strategy: Exit the trade if ADX starts to decline or if the DI lines cross in the opposite direction.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use additional indicators like RSI, moving averages, or support/resistance to filter and confirm signals.

Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.
• “Bullish Signal”/“Bearish Signal”: iFVG retest confirmations.
Settings Description
• Show Last (1–100, default: 5): Number of recent iFVGs to display. Lower values reduce clutter.
• Show only 1st presented FVG : Limits FVGs to the first in 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST sessions (overrides time window checkboxes).
• Time Window Checkboxes: Enable/disable FVG detection in 10-minute windows (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.). All enabled by default.
• Signal Preference: “Close” (default) or “Wick” for iFVG retest signals.
• Use ATR Filter: Enables ATR-based size filtering (default: true).
• ATR Multiplier (0–∞, default: 0.25): Sets FVG size threshold (higher values = larger gaps).
• Remove Mitigated FVGs: Removes filled FVGs/iFVGs (default: true).
• Show FVG Labels: Displays “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels (default: true).
• Timezone Offset (-12 to 12, default: -5): Aligns time windows with EST.
• Colors: Customize bullish (green), bearish (red), and midline (gray) colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator empowers ICT traders with a tool that goes beyond generic FVG detection, offering precise, time-filtered gaps and inversion tracking aligned with institutional trading principles. By focusing on ICT’s macro timeframes, session-specific imbalances, and customizable signal logic, it provides a clear edge for scalping, swing trading, or reversal setups in high-liquidity markets.

DETAILED SIGNAL LOGIC
Trend Determination:
The script determines the trend direction by comparing leading_line1 and leading_line2.
If leading_line1 is above leading_line2, the trend is considered bullish (isBullish). Otherwise, it's bearish (isBearish).
Signal Conditions:
Long Entry (LE): Triggered when the trend turns bullish from bearish.
Short Entry (SE): Triggered when the trend turns bearish from bullish.
Exit Long (XL): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Re-enter Long (RL): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Exit Short (XS): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Re-enter Short (RS): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Label Styling:
Labels are color-coded for quick identification:
Green for long entries and re-entries.
Red for short entries and exits.
Blue for exiting long positions.
Orange for re-entering short positions.
Tooltips provide additional context for each label.
Alert Configuration:
Alerts are generated for each signal condition, ensuring traders are notified promptly.
Users can set up these alerts within TradingView by creating new alerts and selecting the appropriate conditions.
LIMITATIONS
The indicator may lag behind price action due to its use of moving averages and channel calculations 🕒.
False signals can occur in choppy or sideways markets 🌪️.
Users should always confirm signals with other forms of analysis.
NOTES
Ensure that you have sufficient historical data available for accurate calculations.
Test the indicator thoroughly on demo accounts before applying it to live trading 🔍.
Customize the appearance and parameters as needed to fit your trading strategy.
For better risk management, consider integrating stop-loss and take-profit levels into your trading plan.
To optimize performance, manage old labels by deleting them after a certain period to avoid clutter on the chart.
RSI with HMA & Momentum ZonesRSI with HMA & Momentum Zones — Indicator Description
This indicator combines Relative Strength Index (RSI) analysis with Hull Moving Averages (HMA) and Momentum Zone detection to provide a multi-layered view of market strength, trend shifts, and divergence signals.
It includes:
Main Features:
RSI Core:
Standard RSI calculated from a customizable source (close, open, etc.) with adjustable length.
A dynamic RSI Signal Line is plotted with selectable smoothing types (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to enhance trend-following signals.
RSI crossovers of its signal line change color (green for bullish crossovers, red for bearish crossunders).
Hull Moving Averages (HMA):
Two HMA lines are plotted based on the RSI:
Short HMA (fast) and Long HMA (slow).
Color shifts indicate crossovers between RSI and Short HMA (short-term trend change) and Short HMA vs Long HMA (longer-term trend shifts).
Momentum Zones:
When the gap between the RSI and the Long HMA exceeds a user-defined threshold:
A green background highlights strong bullish momentum.
A red background highlights strong bearish momentum.
Helps visualize when momentum becomes extended.
Divergence Detection (Optional):
Regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences are automatically detected between price and RSI.
Divergences are plotted on the RSI pane with labels ("Bull", "H Bull", "Bear", "H Bear").
Adjustable lookback settings for fine-tuning sensitivity.
Alerts are available for all divergence events.
Visual Enhancements:
A shaded cloud fills between RSI and its signal line, green for bullish bias and red for bearish bias.
Horizontal bands at 70, 50, and 30 levels to mark traditional RSI zones (overbought, neutral, oversold).
Customization Options:
All major components — RSI settings, Signal Line type, HMA lengths, Momentum Zone threshold, and Divergence controls — are fully adjustable.

PRO SMC Full Suite BY Mashrur“PRO SMC Full Suite BY Mashrur”
A Pine Script (v5) indicator for TradingView, focused on Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It overlays on price charts and provides visual tools for identifying key institutional trading behaviors.
🎯 Purpose
This script is designed to help traders analyze and trade using SMC principles by automatically detecting:
Order Blocks (OBs)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Breaks of Structure (BoS)
Liquidity Sweeps (Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Grabs)
Mitigation Entries
⚙️ Inputs / Settings
Show Fair Value Gaps: Toggle FVGs on/off
Higher Timeframe (HTF): Choose HTF for OB analysis
Use HTF OBs: Switch between current TF OBs and HTF OBs
Show Order Blocks: Toggle OBs on/off
Show OB Mitigation Entries: Toggle mitigation entry signals on/off
🧠 Core Logic Overview
🔹 1. Swing Points Detection
Identifies swing highs/lows using a 3-bar pattern (pivot-based structure).
🔹 2. Break of Structure (BoS)
A bullish BoS happens when price closes above the last swing high.
A bearish BoS occurs when price closes below the last swing low.
🔹 3. Order Block Detection
Upon BoS, the script marks the previous candle as the Order Block.
Uses either:
Current TF OBs (based on price action)
HTF OBs (based on candle body direction)
🔹 4. Mitigation Entry Logic
A mitigation occurs when price returns to the OB and reacts with confirmation:
Bullish: price dips into OB and closes above
Bearish: price wicks into OB and closes below
Plots entry markers for these mitigations.
🔹 5. Liquidity Sweeps
Detects equal highs/lows (liquidity zones)
Marks Buy SL when price dips below an equal low then closes above
Marks Sell SL when price breaks above an equal high then closes below
🔹 6. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVG Up: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (low > high )
FVG Down: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (high < low )
Plots highlighted boxes on these gaps
📊 Visual Elements
Boxes: For OB zones and FVGs
Shapes:
Labels: OB Buy/Sell entries
Triangles: Buy SL / Sell SL liquidity sweeps

Sentiment Bias Gauge📌 Overview
The Sentiment Bias Gauge (SBG) is a unique overlay-style indicator that visually maps a sentiment value—such as market bullishness or bearishness—onto your price chart. It converts sentiment data (in this case, RSI-based) into a floating line that moves between defined price zones, allowing users to quickly understand the current market mood in the context of price.
⚙️ How It Works
• The indicator uses RSI (Relative Strength Index) as a proxy for market sentiment (0 to 100 scale).
• This sentiment value is then mapped to a vertical price range on your chart using a configurable zone (via top and bottom percent of chart range).
• The line floats up or down within the price chart, reflecting how bullish or bearish the sentiment is.
• It includes background shading to represent the sentiment level:
• 🔴 Red (Bearish): sentiment < 30
• 🟡 Yellow (Neutral): 30 ≤ sentiment ≤ 70
• 🟢 Green (Bullish): sentiment > 70
• A floating label shows the current sentiment score.
🌟 Key Features
• 📈 Overlay-Based Sentiment Line: Plots sentiment as a price-level line, giving intuitive spatial reference.
• 🔧 Configurable Range Placement: Adjust where the sentiment line appears within the chart’s high-low range.
• 🖌️ Color-Coded Background: Visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
• 🏷️ Real-Time Sentiment Label: Displays updated sentiment score on the most recent bar.
🧠 How to Use
• Use this indicator alongside your price action or technical strategy to gauge market mood.
• Combine with other sentiment indicators (e.g., fear/greed, delta volume, news sentiment).
• Especially helpful in sideways markets to identify potential shifts in bias before price reacts.
Why This Combination?
• RSI offers a reliable and intuitive proxy for market sentiment.
• Mapping the value directly onto the chart helps avoid constantly looking at a separate panel.
• The customizable chart range lets traders fit sentiment visuals within any market structure.
🎯 Why It’s Worth Using
• Makes sentiment visually accessible directly on the chart.
• Helps detect bullish/bearish bias shifts earlier than traditional indicators.
• A great tool for sentiment-aware discretionary trading or contextual overlays in algo strategies.
RSI - 5UP Overview
The "RSI - 5UP" indicator is a versatile tool that enhances the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) by adding smoothing options, Bollinger Bands, and divergence detection. It provides a clear visual representation of RSI levels with customizable bands and optional moving averages, helping traders identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential trend reversals through divergence signals.
Features
Customizable RSI: Adjust the RSI length and source to fit your trading style.
Overbought/Oversold Bands: Visualizes RSI levels with intuitive color-coded bands (red for overbought at 70, white for neutral at 50, green for oversold at 30).
Smoothing Options: Apply various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to the RSI, with optional Bollinger Bands for volatility analysis.
Divergence Detection: Identifies regular bullish and bearish divergences, with visual labels ("Bull" for bullish, "Bear" for bearish) and alerts.
G radient Fills: Highlights overbought and oversold zones with gradient fills (green for overbought, red for oversold).
How to Use
1. Add to Chart: Apply the "RSI - 5UP" indicator to any chart. It works well on timeframes from 5 minutes to daily.
2. Configure Settings:
RSI Settings:
RSI Length: Adjust the period for RSI calculation (default: 14).
Source: Choose the price source for RSI (default: close).
Calculate Divergence: Enable to detect bullish/bearish divergences (default: disabled).
Smoothing:
Type: Select the type of moving average to smooth the RSI ("None", "SMA", "SMA + Bollinger Bands", "EMA", "SMMA (RMA)", "WMA", "VWMA"; default: "SMA").
Length: Set the period for the moving average (default: 14).
BB StdDev: If "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected, adjust the standard deviation multiplier for the bands (default: 2.0).
3.Interpret the Indicator:
RSI Levels: The RSI line (purple) oscillates between 0 and 100. Levels above 70 (red band) indicate overbought conditions, while levels below 30 (green band) indicate oversold conditions. The 50 level (white band) is neutral.
Gradient Fills: The background gradients (green above 70, red below 30) highlight overbought and oversold zones for quick reference.
Moving Average (MA): If enabled, a yellow MA line smooths the RSI. If "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected, green bands appear around the MA to show volatility.
Divergences: If "Calculate Divergence" is enabled, look for "Bull" (green label) and "Bear" (red label) signals:
Bullish Divergence: Indicates a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low, but the RSI makes a higher low.
Bearish Divergence: Indicates a potential downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high.
4. Set Alerts:
Use the "Regular Bullish Divergence" and "Regular Bearish Divergence" alert conditions to be notified when a divergence is detected.
Notes
The indicator does not provide direct buy/sell signals. Use the RSI levels, moving averages, and divergence signals as part of a broader trading strategy.
Divergence detection requires the "Calculate Divergence" option to be enabled and may not work on all timeframes or assets due to market noise.
The Bollinger Bands are only visible when "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected as the smoothing type.

Multi-Timeframe S/R & Breakout Projection1) What This Script Does
Collects S/R levels from the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes, using each timeframe’s pivot detection.
Sorts those pivot-based levels by their distance from the current price, so you see the nearest levels first.
Draws up to a user-defined number of those levels as horizontal rays on the current chart.
Checks breakouts at the nearest S/R line (the one with the smallest distance from price):
Real Breakout: price breaks above a level and sustains above it for the specified number of bars.
False Breakout: price breaks above but quickly closes back below within the specified lookback.
On confirmation of a real or false breakout, that S/R line changes color to green if price is going higher, or red if price is going lower.
Displays a small table in the corner with:
Daily Trend: bullish or bearish, using an SMA on a 30-minute timeframe.
Sentiment: bullish or bearish, using RSI on the same 30-minute timeframe.
2) How It Works
Multi-Timeframe Pivot Detection
The script uses request.security() to fetch pivot highs/lows from two higher timeframes (15m and 60m).
It collects up to a user-specified number of these pivots (numRecent) from each TF.
Sorting & Plotting S/R Lines
Once pivot values are gathered, the script calculates their “distance” from current price.
It sorts them so that the S/R lines drawn on your chart are the nearest ones first.
Each line is drawn with a color and style you can customize:
srRayColor sets the overall color (e.g. yellow).
srRayStyleOptions can be Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Breakout Determination
After drawing the lines, the script looks at the nearest line and applies two specialized checks (f_isFalseBreakout & f_isRealBreakout):
A real breakout occurs if price closes above (or below) and remains on that side for breakLook bars.
A false breakout occurs if price closes above (or below) but quickly returns.
When a breakout is confirmed, that nearest line changes color to:
Green if price is ultimately going up,
Red if price is going down.
Daily Trend & Sentiment Table
A small table in the bottom-right corner shows:
Daily Trend: uses a 30-minute SMA to see if your price is above/below on that timeframe.
Sentiment: uses the RSI (also on 30m). A value over 50 suggests bullish sentiment; under 50 suggests bearish.
3) How to Use It
Timeframes & Pivots
Choose how many pivots (numRecent) from each TF to fetch (up to 10 total). A higher number means you’ll see more historical S/R lines.
Customize pivotLeft & pivotRight for how “wide” the pivot detection is.
Line Customization
In the script’s Inputs tab, you’ll find:
S/R Rays Color – sets the hue of the lines.
S/R Line Style – pick from Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Liquidity Lines Color – color for the smaller pivot lines from your chart timeframe’s pivot detection.
Breakout Lookback
breakLook determines how many bars must confirm or refute the breakout. Adjust it based on how conservative or aggressive you want the breakout detection.
Check the Table
In the bottom-right, watch the script’s “Daily Trend” & “Sentiment”. This can be a quick filter for trades:
“Bullish” daily trend with a bullish sentiment is often more favorable for long trades.
Conversely, “Bearish” daily trend & sentiment can confirm short ideas.
Scenarios
If you see a “Real Breakout” label near the line, the script recolors that line green or red, indicating a possible continuous move.
A “False Breakout” label suggests the price has quickly retraced.
4) Originality & Concepts
Multi-Timeframe Approach: Many S/R indicators fetch only local pivot lines; here, we explicitly gather pivot points from two separate TFs (15m & 60m) and project them onto your lower timeframe chart.
Distance-Based Sorting ensures you only see the nearest lines on the chart, preventing clutter from excessive lines.
Breakout Logic used is straightforward but effective: it checks if price truly holds beyond a level (real breakout) or fails to hold (false breakout).
Line Recoloring provides immediate visual feedback on the success or failure of the breakout.
5) Chart Usage
Plot this script on a relatively low timeframe chart (like the 1m, 5m, or 15m) to see the higher timeframe S/R lines.
Select how many S/R lines you want to show, choose the line style, set your pivot detection parameters, then watch for breakouts.
Tips:
Start with fewer lines (maxLevels=3 or 5) so the chart remains clear.
You can experiment with a small breakLook if you want more immediate breakout signals, or a higher breakLook if you need stronger confirmation.
Enjoy using the “Multi-Timeframe S/R & Breakout Projection” script! It simplifies the manual process of spotting higher timeframe pivot lines and helps you quickly assess potential breakouts or fakes on your intraday charts, all while giving you a snapshot of the higher timeframe’s trend and sentiment.

A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

Trendline Breakout Navigator [LuxAlgo]The Trendline Breakout Navigator indicator shows three trendlines, representing trends of different significance between Swing Points.
Dots highlight a Higher Low (HL) or Lower High (LH) that pierces through the Trendline without the closing price breaking the Trendline.
A bar color and background color option is included, which offers insights into the price against the trendlines.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines (TL) are drawn, starting as a horizontal line from a Swing Point.
When an HL (in the case of a bullish TL) or an LH (bearish TL) is found, this Swing Point is connected to the first Swing Point. In both cases, the TL can be optimized when one or more historical close prices breach the TL (see DETAILS).
A solid-styled long-term trendline represents the overall market direction, while a dashed-styled medium-term trendline captures medium-term movements within the long-term trend. Finally, a dotted-styled short-term trendline tracks short-term fluctuations.
🔹 Swing Points vs. Trend
A "Higher High" (HH) or "Lower Low" (LL) will initialize a new trendline, respectively, starting from the previous "Swing Low" or Swing High".
To spot the trend shift, "HH/LL" labels and an optional background color are included. They can be enabled/disabled or set at "Long, Medium, or Short" term TL (Settings—"MS", "HH/LL" and "Background Color").
These features are linked to one Trendline of choice only.
Where the "HH/LL" labels can show a potential trend shift, the background color is:
Green from the moment the close price breaks above a bearish trendline or when an HH occurs
Red from the moment the close price breaks below a bullish trendline or when an LL occurs
🔹 Bar Color
The bar color will depend on the location of the closing price against the three trendlines. When a trendline is unavailable (for example, if the close price breaks the TL and there is no HH/LL), the last known trendline value will be considered.
All three trendlines influence the bar color.
If the close price is above the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of green, darker when the close price is below the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
On the other hand, when the close price is below the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of red, which becomes darker when the close price is above the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
To keep the above example simple, only the "Long Term" TL is considered. The white line (not included in the script) resembles the actual value of the TL at each bar, where you can see the effect on the bar color.
Combined with the trendlines and dots, the bar color can provide extra depth and insights into the underlying trends.
🔹 Tested Trendlines
If a new HL/LH pierces the Trendline without the close price breaking the Trendline, the Trendline will be updated.
The exact location where the price exceeded the Trendline is visualized by a dot, colored blue on a bullish trendline and orange when bearish.
These dots can be indicative of a potential trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Higher TimeFrame Option
The "Period" setting enables users to visualize higher-timeframe trendlines as long as the line length doesn't exceed 5000 bars.
🔶 DETAILS
When a new trendline is drawn, the script first draws a preliminary line and then checks whether a historical close price exceeded this line above (in the case of a bearish TL) or below (in a bullish case).
Subsequently, the most valid point in between is chosen as the starting point of the Trendline.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Choose "chart" for trendlines from the current chart timeframe, or choose a higher timeframe
🔹 Swing Length
Toggle and Swing Length for three trendlines: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Style
Trendline: color for bullish/bearish Trendline
Wick Dot: color for bullish/bearish trendline test
Term: Long-, medium- or short-term
HH/LL: Show HH/LL labels (with or without previous Swing High/Low) of chosen Term
Background Color: Green when the closing price is above the trendline of choice, red otherwise

Uptrick: Z-Score FlowOverview
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow is a technical indicator that integrates trend-sensitive momentum analysi s with mean-reversion logic derived from Z-Score calculations. Its primary objective is to identify market conditions where price has either stretched too far from its mean (overbought or oversold) or sits at a statistically “normal” range, and then cross-reference this observation with trend direction and RSI-based momentum signals. The result is a more contextual approach to trade entry and exit, emphasizing precision, clarity, and adaptability across varying market regimes.
Introduction
Financial instruments frequently transition between trending modes, where price extends strongly in one direction, and ranging modes, where price oscillates around a central value. A simple statistical measure like Z-Score can highlight price extremes by comparing the current price against its historical mean and standard deviation. However, such extremes alone can be misleading if the broader market structure is trending forcefully. Uptrick: Z-Score Flow aims to solve this gap by combining Z-Score with an exponential moving average (EMA) trend filter and a smoothed RSI momentum check, thus filtering out signals that contradict the prevailing market environment.
Purpose
The purpose of this script is to help traders pinpoint both mean-reversion opportunities and trend-based pullbacks in a way that is statistically grounded yet still mindful of overarching price action. By pairing Z-Score thresholds with supportive conditions, the script reduces the likelihood of acting on random price spikes or dips and instead focuses on movements that are significant within both historical and current contextual frameworks.
Originality and Uniquness
Layered Signal Verification: Signals require the fulfillment of multiple layers (Z-Score extreme, EMA trend bias, and RSI momentum posture) rather than merely breaching a statistical threshold.
RSI Zone Lockout: Once RSI enters an overbought/oversold zone and triggers a signal, the script locks out subsequent signals until RSI recovers above or below those zones, limiting back-to-back triggers.
Controlled Cooldown: A dedicated cooldown mechanic ensures that the script waits a specified number of bars before issuing a new signal in the opposite direction.
Gradient-Based Visualization: Distinct gradient fills between price and the Z-Mean line enhance readability, showing at a glance whether price is trading above or below its statistical average.
Comprehensive Metrics Panel: An optional on-chart table summarizes the Z-Score’s key metrics, streamlining the process of verifying current statistical extremes, mean levels, and momentum directions.
Why these indicators were merged
Z-Score measurements excel at identifying when price deviates from its mean, but they do not intrinsically reveal whether the market’s trajectory supports a reversion or if price might continue along its trend. The EMA, commonly used for spotting trend directions, offers valuable insight into whether price is predominantly ascending or descending. However, relying solely on a trend filter overlooks the intensity of price moves. RSI then adds a dedicated measure of momentum, helping confirm if the market’s energy aligns with a potential reversal (for example, price is statistically low but RSI suggests looming upward momentum). By uniting these three lenses—Z-Score for statistical context, EMA for trend direction, and RSI for momentum force—the script offers a more comprehensive and adaptable system, aiming to avoid false positives caused by focusing on just one aspect of price behavior.
Calculations
The core calculation begins with a simple moving average (SMA) of price over zLen bars, referred to as the basis. Next, the script computes the standard deviation of price over the same window. Dividing the difference between the current price and the basis by this standard deviation produces the Z-Score, indicating how many standard deviations the price is from its mean. A positive Z-Score reveals price is above its average; a negative reading indicates the opposite.
To detect overall market direction, the script calculates an exponential moving average (emaTrend) over emaTrendLen bars. If price is above this EMA, the script deems the market bullish; if below, it’s considered bearish. For momentum confirmation, the script computes a standard RSI over rsiLen bars, then applies a smoothing EMA over rsiEmaLen bars. This smoothed RSI (rsiEma) is monitored for both its absolute level (oversold or overbought) and its slope (the difference between the current and previous value). Finally, slopeIndex determines how many bars back the script compares the basis to check whether the Z-Mean line is generally rising, falling, or flat, which then informs the coloring scheme on the chart.
Calculations and Rational
Simple Moving Average for Baseline: An SMA is used for the core mean because it places equal weight on each bar in the lookback period. This helps maintain a straightforward interpretation of overbought or oversold conditions in the context of a uniform historical average.
Standard Deviation for Volatility: Standard deviation measures the variability of the data around the mean. By dividing price’s difference from the mean by this value, the Z-Score can highlight whether price is unusually stretched given typical volatility.
Exponential Moving Average for Trend: Unlike an SMA, an EMA places more emphasis on recent data, reacting quicker to new price developments. This quicker response helps the script promptly identify trend shifts, which can be crucial for filtering out signals that go against a strong directional move.
RSI for Momentum Confirmation: RSI is an oscillator that gauges price movement strength by comparing average gains to average losses over a set period. By further smoothing this RSI with another EMA, short-lived oscillations become less influential, making signals more robust.
SlopeIndex for Slope-Based Coloring: To clarify whether the market’s central tendency is rising or falling, the script compares the basis now to its level slopeIndex bars ago. A higher current reading indicates an upward slope; a lower reading, a downward slope; and similar readings, a flat slope. This is visually represented on the chart, providing an immediate sense of the directionality.
Inputs
zLen (Z-Score Period)
Specifies how many bars to include for computing the SMA and standard deviation that form the basis of the Z-Score calculation. Larger values produce smoother but slower signals; smaller values catch quick changes but may generate noise.
emaTrendLen (EMA Trend Filter)
Sets the length of the EMA used to detect the market’s primary direction. This is pivotal for distinguishing whether signals should be considered (price aligning with an uptrend or downtrend) or filtered out.
rsiLen (RSI Length)
Defines the window for the initial RSI calculation. This RSI, when combined with the subsequent smoothing EMA, forms the foundation for momentum-based signal confirmations.
rsiEmaLen (EMA of RSI Period)
Applies an exponential moving average over the RSI readings for additional smoothing. This step helps mitigate rapid RSI fluctuations that might otherwise produce whipsaw signals.
zBuyLevel (Z-Score Buy Threshold)
Determines how negative the Z-Score must be for the script to consider a potential oversold signal. If the Z-Score dives below this threshold (and other criteria are met), a buy signal is generated.
zSellLevel (Z-Score Sell Threshold)
Determines how positive the Z-Score must be for a potential overbought signal. If the Z-Score surpasses this threshold (and other checks are satisfied), a sell signal is generated.
cooldownBars (Cooldown (Bars))
Enforces a bar-based delay between opposite signals. Once a buy signal has fired, the script must wait the specified number of bars before registering a new sell signal, and vice versa.
slopeIndex (Slope Sensitivity (Bars))
Specifies how many bars back the script compares the current basis for slope coloration. A bigger slopeIndex highlights larger directional trends, while a smaller number emphasizes shorter-term shifts.
showMeanLine (Show Z-Score Mean Line)
Enables or disables the plotting of the Z-Mean and its slope-based coloring. Traders who prefer minimal chart clutter may turn this off while still retaining signals.
Features
Statistical Core (Z-Score Detection):
This feature computes the Z-Score by taking the difference between the current price and the basis (SMA) and dividing by the standard deviation. In effect, it translates price fluctuations into a standardized measure that reveals how significant a move is relative to the typical variation seen over the lookback. When the Z-Score crosses predefined thresholds (zBuyLevel for oversold and zSellLevel for overbought), it signals that price could be at an extreme.
How It Works: On each bar, the script updates the SMA and standard deviation. The Z-Score is then refreshed accordingly. Traders can interpret particularly large negative or positive Z-Score values as scenarios where price is abnormally low or high.
EMA Trend Filter:
An EMA over emaTrendLen bars is used to classify the market as bullish if the price is above it and bearish if the price is below it. This classification is applied to the Z-Score signals, accepting them only when they align with the broader price direction.
How It Works: If the script detects a Z-Score below zBuyLevel, it further checks if price is actually in a downtrend (below EMA) before issuing a buy signal. This might seem counterintuitive, but a “downtrend” environment plus an oversold reading often signals a potential bounce or a mean-reversion play. Conversely, for sell signals, the script checks if the market is in an uptrend first. If it is, an overbought reading aligns with potential profit-taking.
RSI Momentum Confirmation with Oversold/Overbought Lockout:
RSI is calculated over rsiLen, then smoothed by an EMA over rsiEmaLen. If this smoothed RSI dips below a certain threshold (for example, 30) and then begins to slope upward, the indicator treats it as a potential sign of recovering momentum. Similarly, if RSI climbs above a certain threshold (for instance, 70) and starts to slope downward, that suggests dwindling momentum. Additionally, once RSI is in these zones, the indicator locks out repetitive signals until RSI fully exits and re-enters those extreme territories.
How It Works: Each bar, the script measures whether RSI has dropped below the oversold threshold (like 30) and has a positive slope. If it does, the buy side is considered “unlocked.” For sell signals, RSI must exceed an overbought threshold (70) and slope downward. The combination of threshold and slope helps confirm that a reversal is genuinely in progress instead of issuing signals while momentum remains weak or stuck in extremes.
Cooldown Mechanism:
The script features a custom bar-based cooldown that prevents issuing new signals in the opposite direction immediately after one is triggered. This helps avoid whipsaw situations where the market quickly flips from oversold to overbought or vice versa.
How It Works: When a buy signal fires, the indicator notes the bar index. If the Z-Score and RSI conditions later suggest a sell, the script compares the current bar index to the last buy signal’s bar index. If the difference is within cooldownBars, the signal is disallowed. This ensures a predefined “quiet period” before switching signals.
Slope-Based Coloring (Z-Mean Line and Shadow):
The script compares the current basis value to its value slopeIndex bars ago. A higher reading now indicates a generally upward slope, while a lower reading indicates a downward slope. The script then shades the Z-Mean line in a corresponding bullish or bearish color, or remains neutral if little change is detected.
How It Works: This slope calculation is refreshingly straightforward: basis – basis . If the result is positive, the line is colored bullish; if negative, it is colored bearish; if approximately zero, it remains neutral. This provides a quick visual cue of the medium-term directional bias.
Gradient Overlays:
With gradient fills, the script highlights where price stands in relation to the Z-Mean. When price is above the basis, a purple-shaded region is painted, visually indicating a “bearish zone” for potential overbought conditions. When price is below, a teal-like overlay is used, suggesting a “bullish zone” for potential oversold conditions.
How It Works: Each bar, the script checks if price is above or below the basis. It then applies a fill between close and basis, using distinct colors to show whether the market is trading above or below its mean. This creates an immediate sense of how extended the market might be.
Buy and Sell Labels (with Alerts):
When a legitimate buy or sell condition passes every check (Z-Score threshold, EMA trend alignment, RSI gating, and cooldown clearance), the script plots a corresponding label directly on the chart. It also fires an alert (if alerts are set up), making it convenient for traders who want timely notifications.
How It Works: If rawBuy or rawSell conditions are met (refined by RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown constraints), the script calls the respective plot function to paint an arrow label on the chart. Alerts are triggered simultaneously, carrying easily recognizable messages.
Metrics Table:
The optional on-chart table (activated by showMetrics) presents real-time Z-Score data, including the current Z-Score, its rolling mean, the maximum and minimum Z-Score values observed over the last zLen bars, a percentile position, and a short-term directional note (rising, falling, or flat).
Current – The present Z-Score reading
Mean – Average Z-Score over the zLen period
Min/Max – Lowest and highest Z-Score values within zLen
Position – Where the current Z-Score sits between the min and max (as a percentile)
Trend – Whether the Z-Score is increasing, decreasing, or flat
Conclusion
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow offers a versatile solution for traders who need a statistically informed perspective on price extremes combined with practical checks for overall trend and momentum. By leveraging a well-defined combination of Z-Score, EMA trend classification, RSI-based momentum gating, slope-based visualization, and a cooldown mechanic, the script reduces the occurrence of false or premature signals. Its gradient fills and optional metrics table contribute further clarity, ensuring that users can quickly assess market posture and make more confident trading decisions in real time.
