Stochastic RSI BandsStochastic RSI Bands by // © drbarry92064859
It is suggested to view this indicator on 15m or 5m timeframe with current Default Settings.
This indicator is based on the StochRsi.
It creates color bands based on the direction of multiple timeframe StochRsi.
When the MTF StochRsi's are opposed in direction it produces darker bands and when aligned in direction it produces light bands.
During Green Bands, price tends to be Bullish. During Red Bands, price tends to be Bearish.
During Medium toned Bands, price action tends to be in a correction in existing HTF trend, ranging, or getting ready for reversal.
During Light Bands, price tends to be in Trend in direction of color.
There is usually Dark Bands on either side of a light or medium toned band.
Best to enter in direction of current color, during the dark band after the medium toned bands
And exit in the dark band after the light toned band.
Brown bands tend to indicate reversal of direction and color.
I have experimented with all the timeframes and StochRSI settings and found the best settings to be as follows.
The Default settings are Middle Time Frame: 4H and Higher TimeFrame: D1.
The Default StochRSI settings are 34 RSI, 21 Stochastic, 13 smooth K and 13 smooth D.
It is suggested to use a lower timeframe such as 15m or 5m for entry.
You can experiment with different StochRSI and TimeFrame Settings.
SUGGESTED STRATEGY
Dark Bands after medium toned bands: Look for an entry on lower timeframe (15m or 5m) based on reversal candlestick formations or other indicators in direction of current color.
Light Bands: Do not enter during lighter bands. You should already be in trade during Light Bands
Light Band changes to Dark Band: Exit Trade if already in.
Look for general change of directional bias if a brown band occurs; however wait for dark band after the 2nd wide band following the brown band.

Dynamic Momentum Ecosystem Futures verI've reuploaded my previous uploaded script Dynamic Momentum Ecosystem, but this one specifically catered to futures trading.
The idea and underlying script function as usual.
Lime = Price closed higher + volume transacted higher than average + MACD Histogram increases + 13 EMA increases
Green = Price closed higher + MACD Histogram increases + 13 EMA increases
Red = Price closed lower + MACD Histogram decreases + 13 EMA decreases
Blue = Either MACD Histogram increases/decreases + 13 EMA increases/decreases
Lime candle is viewed as a robust bullish sign as price increases, supported by the rising MACD Histogram, 13EMA, and higher than average volumes transacted. Perfect for dip buying near the 20/50 MAs.
Green candle is viewed as bullish with the rising of MACD Histogram and EMA . Good for dip buying near the 20/50 MAs.
Red candle is viewed as bearish with the declining of MACD Histogram and EMA . Good for short entry. Can also be the early sign to take profits, as it could be the preliminary signal for trend reversal.
Blue candle is viewed as neutral.
The upper dotted purple line is the 52candles high.
The vertical grey line appears when the price > MA50 crosses above MA200, which is a golden crossover.
Traders are advised to time their entry using the impulse coloring system for stocks that are trading near the dotted line, following the grey line formation.

Realtime Delta Volume Action [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays on-chart, realtime, delta volume and delta ticks information for each bar. It aims to provide traders who trade price action on small timeframes with volume and tick information gathered as updates come in the chart's feed. It builds its own candles, which are optimized to display volume delta information. It only works in realtime.
█ WARNING
This script is intended for traders who can already profitably trade discretionary on small timeframes. The high cost in fees and the excitement of trading at small timeframes have ruined many newcomers to trading. While trading at small timeframes can work magic for adrenaline junkies in search of thrills rather than profits, I DO NOT recommend it to most traders. Only seasoned discretionary traders able to factor in the relatively high cost of such a trading practice can ever hope to take money out of markets in that type of environment, and I would venture they account for an infinitesimal percentage of traders. If you are a newcomer to trading, AVOID THIS TOOL AT ALL COSTS — unless you are interested in experimenting with the interpretation of volume delta combined with price action. No tool currently available on TradingView provides this type of close monitoring of volume delta information, but if you are not already trading small timeframes profitably, please do not let yourself become convinced that it is the missing piece you needed. Avoid becoming a sucker who only contributes by providing liquidity to markets.
The information calculated by the indicator cannot be saved on charts, nor can it be recalculated from historical bars.
If you refresh the chart or restart the script, the accumulated information will be lost.
█ FEATURES
Key values
The script displays the following key values:
• Above the bar: ticks delta (DT), the total ticks for the bar, the percentage of total ticks that DT represents (DT%)
• Below the bar: volume delta (DV), the total volume for the bar, the percentage of total volume that DV represents (DV%).
Candles
Candles are composed of four components:
1. A top shaped like this: ┴, and a bottom shaped like this: ┬ (picture a normal Japanese candle without a body outline; the values used are the same).
2. The candle bodies are filled with the bull/bear color representing the polarity of DV. The intensity of the body's color is determined by the DV% value.
When DV% is 100, the intensity of the fill is brightest. This plays well in interpreting the body colors, as the smaller, less significant DV% values will produce less vivid colors.
3. The bright-colored borders of the candle bodies occur on "strong bars", i.e., bars meeting the criteria selected in the script's inputs, which you can configure.
4. The POC line is a small horizontal line that appears to the left of the candle. It is the volume-weighted average of all price updates during the bar.
Calculations
This script monitors each realtime update of the chart's feed. It first determines if price has moved up or down since the last update. The polarity of the price change, in turn, determines the polarity of the volume and tick for that specific update. If price does not move between consecutive updates, then the last known polarity is used. Using this method, we can calculate a running volume delta and ticks delta for the bar, which becomes the bar's final delta values when the bar closes (you can inspect values of elapsed realtime bars in the Data Window or the indicator's values). Note that these values will all reset if the script re-executes because of a change in inputs or a chart refresh.
While this method of calculating is not perfect, it is by far the most precise way of calculating volume delta available on TradingView at the moment. Calculating more precise results would require scripts to have access to tick data from any chart timeframe. Charts at seconds timeframes do use exchange/broker ticks when the feeds you are using allow for it, and this indicator will run on them, but tick data is not yet available from higher timeframes. Also, note that the method used in this script is far superior to the intrabar inspection technique used on historical bars in my other "Delta Volume" indicators. This is because volume and ticks delta here are calculated from many more realtime updates than the available intrabars in history. Unfortunately, the calculation method used here cannot be used on historical bars, where intrabar inspection remains, in my opinion, the optimal method.
Inputs
The script's inputs provide many ways to personalize all the components: what is displayed, the colors used to display the information, and the marker conditions. Tooltips provide details for many of the inputs; I leave their exploration to you.
Markers
Markers provide a way for you to identify the points of interest of your choice on the chart. You control the set of conditions that trigger each of the five available markers.
You select conditions by entering, in the field for each marker, the number of each condition you want to include, separated by a comma. The conditions are:
1 — The bar's polarity is up/dn.
2 — `close` rises/falls ("rises" means it is higher than its value on the previous bar).
3 — DV's polarity is +/–.
4 — DV% rises (↕).
5 — POC rises/falls.
6 — The quantity of realtime updates rises (↕).
7 — DV > limit (You specify the limit in the inputs. Since DV can be +/–, DV– must be less than `–limit` for a short marker).
8 — DV% > limit (↕).
9 — DV+ rises for a long marker, DV– falls for a short.
10 — Consecutive DV+/DV– on two bars.
11 — Total volume rises (↕).
12 — DT's polarity is +/–.
13 — DT% rises (↕).
14 — DT+ rises for a long marker, DT– falls for a short.
Conditions showing the (↕) symbol do not have symmetrical states; they act more like filters. If you only include condition 4 in a marker's setup, for example, both long and short markers will trigger on bars where DV% rises. To trigger only long or short markers, you must add a condition providing directional differentiation, such as conditions 1 or 2. Accordingly, you would enter "1,4" or "2,4".
For a marker to trigger, ALL the conditions you specified for it must be met. Long markers appear on the chart as "Mx▲" signs under the values displayed below candles. Short markers display "Mx▼" over the number of updates displayed above candles. The marker's number will replace the "x" in "Mx▲". The script loads with five markers that will not trigger because no conditions are associated with them. To activate markers, you will need to select and enter the set of conditions you require for each one.
Alerts
You can configure alerts on this script. They will trigger whenever one of the configured markers triggers. Alerts do not repaint, so they trigger at the bar's close—which is also when the markers will appear.
█ HOW TO USE IT
As a rule, I do not prescribe expected use of my indicators, as traders have proved to be much more creative than me in using them. Additionally, I tend to think that if you expect detailed recommendations from me to be able to use my indicators, it's a sign you are in a precarious situation and should go back to the drawing board and master the necessary basics that will allow you to explore and decide for yourself if my indicators can be useful to you, and how you will use them. I will make an exception for this thing, as it presents fairly novel information. I will use simple logic to surmise potential uses, as contrary to most of my other indicators, I have NOT used this one to actually trade. Markets have a way of throwing wrenches in our seemingly bullet-proof rationalizing, so drive cautiously and please forgive me if the pointers I share here don't pan out.
The first thing to do is to disable your normal bars. You can do this by clicking on the eye icon that appears when you hover over the symbol's name in the upper-left corner of your chart.
The absolute value and polarity of DV mean little without perspective; that's why I include both total volume for the bar and the percentage that DV represents of that total volume. I interpret a low DV% value as indecision. If you share that opinion, you could, let's say, configure one of the markers on "DV% > 80%", for example (to do so you would enter "8" in the condition field of any marker, and "80" in the limit field for condition 8, below the marker conditions).
I also like to analyze price action on the bar with DV%. Small DV% values should often produce small candle bodies. If a small DV% value occurs on a bar with much movement and high volume, I'm thinking "tough battle with potential explosive power when one side wins". Conversely, large bodies with high DV% mean that large volume is breaching through multiple levels, or that nobody is suddenly willing to take the other side of a normal volume of trades.
I find the POC lines really interesting. First, they tell us the price point where the most significant action (taking into account both price occurrences AND volume) during the bar occurred. Second, they can be useful when compared against past values. Third, their color helps us in figuring out which ones are the most significant. Unsurprisingly, bunches of orange POCs tend to appear in consolidation zones, in pauses, and before reversals. It may be useful to often focus more on POC progression than on `close` values. This is not to say that OHLC values are not useful; looking, as is customary, for higher highs or lower lows, or for repeated tests of precise levels can of course still be useful. I do like how POCs add another dimension to chart readings.
What should you do with the ticks delta above bars? Old-time ticker tape readers paid attention to the sounds coming from it (the "ticker" moniker actually comes from the sound they made). They knew activity was picking up when the frequency of the "ticks" increased. My thinking is that the total number of ticks will help you in the same way, since increasing updates usually mean growing interest—and thus perhaps price movement, as increasing volatility or volume would lead us to surmise. Ticks delta can help you figure out when proportionally large, random orders come in from traders with other perspectives than the short-term price action you are typically working with when you use this tool. Just as volume delta, ticks delta are one more informational component that can help you confirm convergence when building your opinions on price action.
What are strong bars? They are an attempt to identify significance. They are like a default marker, except that instead of displaying "Mx▲/▼" below/above the bar, the candle's body is outlined in bright bull/bear color when one is detected. Strong bars require a respectable amount of conditions to be met (you can see and re-configure them in the inputs). Think of them as pushes rather than indications of an upcoming, strong and multi-bar move. Pushes do, for sure, often occur at the beginning of strong trends. You will often see a few strong bars occur at 2-3 bar intervals at the beginning or middle of trends. But they also tend to occur at tops/bottoms, which makes their interpretation problematic. Another pattern that you will see quite frequently is a final strong bar in the direction of the trend, followed a few bars later by another strong bar in the reverse direction. My summary analyses seemed to indicate these were perhaps good points where one could make a bet on an early, risky reversal entry.
The last piece of information displayed by the indicator is the color of the candle bodies. Three possible colors are used. Bull/bear is determined by the polarity of DV, but only when the bar's polarity matches that of DV. When it doesn't, the color is the divergence color (orange, by default). Whichever color is used for the body, its intensity is determined by the DV% value. Maximum intensity occurs when DV%=100, so the more significant DV% values generate more noticeable colors. Body colors can be useful when looking to confirm the convergence of other components. The visual effect this creates hopefully makes it easier to detect patterns on the chart.
One obvious methodology that comes to mind to trade with this tool would be to use another indicator like Technical Ratings at a higher timeframe to identify the larger context's trend, and then use this tool to identify entries for short-term trades in that direction.
█ NOTES AND RAMBLINGS
Instant Calculations
This indicator uses instant values calculated on the bar only. No moving averages or calculations involving historical periods are used. The only exception to this rule is in some of the marker conditions like "Two consecutive DV+ values", where information from the previous bar is used.
Trading Small vs Long Timeframes
I never trade discretionary at the 5sec–5min timeframes this indicator was designed to be used with; I trade discretionary at 1D, 1W and 1M timeframes, and let systems trade at smaller timeframes. The higher the timeframe you trade at, the fewer fees you will pay because you trade less and are not churning trading volume, as is inevitable at smaller timeframes. Trading at higher timeframes is also a good way to gain an instant edge on most of the trading crowd that has its nose to the ground and often tends to forget the big picture. It also makes for a much less demanding trading practice, where you have lots of time to research and build your long-term opinions on potential future outcomes. While the future is always uncertain, I believe trades riding on long-term trends have stronger underlying support from the reality outside markets.
To traders who will ask why I publish an indicator designed for small timeframes, let me say that my main purpose here is to showcase what can be done with Pine. I often see comments by coders who are obviously not aware of what Pine is capable of in 2021. Since its humble beginnings seven years ago, Pine has grown and become a serious programming language. TradingView's growing popularity and its ongoing commitment to keep Pine accessible to newcomers to programming is gradually making Pine more and more of a standard in indicator and strategy programming. The technical barriers to entry for traders interested in owning their trading practice by developing their personal tools to trade have never been so low. I am also publishing this script because I value volume delta information, and I present here what I think is an original way of analyzing it.
Performance
The script puts a heavy load on the Pine runtime and the charting engine. After running the script for a while, you will often notice your chart becoming less responsive, and your chart tab can take longer to activate when you go back to it after using other tabs. That is the reason I encourage you to set the number of historical values displayed on bars to the minimum that meets your needs. When your chart becomes less responsive because the script has been running on it for many hours, refreshing the browser tab will restart everything and bring the chart's speed back up. You will then lose the information displayed on elapsed bars.
Neutral Volume
This script represents a departure from the way I have previously calculated volume delta in my scripts. I used the notion of "neutral volume" when inspecting intrabar timeframes, for bars where price did not move. No longer. While this had little impact when using intrabar inspection because the minimum usable timeframe was 1min (where bars with zero movement are relatively infrequent), a more precise way was required to handle realtime updates, where multiple consecutive prices often have the same value. This will usually happen whenever orders are unable to move across the bid/ask levels, either because of slow action or because a large-volume bid/ask level is taking time to breach. In either case, the proper way to calculate the polarity of volume delta for those updates is to use the last known polarity, which is how I calculate now.
The Order Book
Without access to the order book's levels (the depth of market), we are limited to analyzing transactions that come in the TradingView feed for the chart. That does not mean the volume delta information calculated this way is irrelevant; on the contrary, much of the information calculated here is not available in trading consoles supplied by exchanges/brokers. Yet it's important to realize that without access to the order book, you are forfeiting the valuable information that can be gleaned from it. The order book's levels are always in movement, of course, and some of the information they contain is mere posturing, i.e., attempts to influence the behavior of other players in the market by traders/systems who will often remove their orders when price comes near their order levels. Nonetheless, the order book is an essential tool for serious traders operating at intraday timeframes. It can be used to time entries/exits, to explain the causes of particular price movements, to determine optimal stop levels, to get to know the traders/systems you are betting against (they tend to exhibit behavioral patterns only recognizable through the order book), etc. This tool in no way makes the order book less useful; I encourage all intraday traders to become familiar with it and avoid trading without one.
Supertrend ++Supertrend ++ is an HTF (HigherTimeFrame) Supertrend with an optional Volume Filter with adjustable value in the Settings.
Signals are represented by Green Labels (Buy) to indicate a Long Entry or Red Labels (Sell) to indicate a Short Entry.
Note that the script does not Repaint and that you have the option of placing a single Alert for the two available Alerts.
Always use the option "Once per bar" and not "Once per bar close" when placing an Alert of individual type.
If you have any suggestions or need help, please let us know in the comment area.

LBR 3-10 OscillatorThis is a variation of MACD popularised by Linda Bradford Raschke. Instead of the regular MACD settings, the this indicator uses simple moving averages, not exponential moving averages, and a setting of 3 for the fast MA, 10 for the slow MA and 16 for the signal line.
The signal line (red) acts as a trend indicator, with crossings of the zero line indicating trend changes, while the MACD line (blue) acts as a short term momentum indicator.
Setups:
- First cross: This is basically selling or buying at the first pullback after a trend change. Buy or sell after the signal line has crossed the zero line and the MACD crosses the signal line for the first time after the trend change. Use price action to time the entry after the pullback — you don't need to wait for the MACD to cross the signal line again.
- Pullback in a trend: The MACD crosses the signal line in the opposite direction of the trend irregardless of when the trend change occurred. Use price action to time the entry.
- Divergence: The MACD line shows a pattern diverging form price (e.g. makes higher lows whereas price makes lower lows). This can be an indication of trend reversal or waning.
In the indicator's input panel there is an option for showing standard deviation bands (turned off by default). MACD line crossing the standard deviation bands can indicate oversold and overbought conditions.
The indicator comes with the following alerts:
- First cross downtrend
- First cross uptrend
- Pullback in downtrend
- Pullback in uptrend
- Trend change down
- Trend change up

Original Bravo SwingThe Bravo Swing is based on the methods taught by YouTube celebrity J Bravo.
It uses the 9 day moving average as a base for selecting optimal entry and exit points.
Buy indicator:
A full candle closing above the 9 day moving average generally indicates a bullish signal for an entry.
If conditions are right, this can be seen as a great opportunity to buy.
Sell indicator:
If the candles continue to close above the 9 day moving average, the trend appears to remain bullish.
However, an exit is to be considered once a candle closes below the 9 day moving average, as this indicates a bearish signal may be approaching.
If you you're feeling confident about the uptrend continuing and choose to ignore the exit signal, a candle close below the 20 day exponential moving average should be used as a definite exit point.
Options:
Color code option to display the 180 day moving average in gray during downtrends and white during an uptrend.
The 50 day moving average can be turned on to help better visualize conflicting trends.
Histogram - Price Action - Dy CalculatorThis script aims to help users of Price Action robot, for Smarttbot (brazilian site that automates Brazilian market (B3)).
You can use on any symbol.
The script will follow price action principles. It will calculate the absolute value of last candle and compare with actual candle. Colors are:
- Red - If the actual candle absolute value is higher than previous one, and the price is lower than last candle. It would be a short entry.
- Blue - If the actual candle absolute value is higher than previous one, and the price is higher than last candle. It would be a long entry.
- Black - The actual candle absolute value is lower than previous one, so there is no entry.
If there is a candle that is higher than previous one, and both high and low values are outside boundaries of previous one, it will calculate which boundary is bigger and will apply the collor accordingly.
Average True Range BandsAverage True Range Bands
The 30-day Average True Range is useful in Futures and Forex trading for placing stop orders for entry.
In the example above, a trader may want to initiate a Short position on a break below the support trendline.
A good place to enter this trade would be a price break below the support trendline minus 50 to 100% of the current ATR value.
ATR Bands provides a useful visual overlay of the current ATR value above and below the current price to speed up order entry decisions.
Study for Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear]This study is based on LazyBear Squeeze Momentum Indicator and my strategy developed using it.
I added some custom feature and filters.
Main improvements are:
1- study is updated to version 4 of pine script;
2- I added alerts for entry rules and exit rules.
3- Alert syntax can be customized for webhooks: I added one example only for long entry.
You can customize a lot of features to get a profitable strategy.
Here is a link to original study.
Please use comment section for any feedback.
DW-RSI EMA with EMA of RSIThis is an RSI Oscillator with an EMA of the RSI for a signal line. The RSI line is Green when above the signal line and Red when below the signal line.
This does not use the traditional 30% / 70% over sold / over bought analysis. Therefore the levels are not shown.
The analysis is this:
When the RSI is above the signal line then price has a bullish bias.
When the RSI is below the signal line then price has a bearish bias.
I wrote use this for Forex Spot Currencies where I feel overbought and oversold may be less valid than it may be in other markets such as stocks.
As with all indicators, do not use as your sole reason to enter the market, but use with other indicators or price action signals to get a confluence of signals to confirm your entry.
I use it with an 8, 21 and 50 EMA to confirm entry and exit. I give it more weight for exits than I do for entries.
PPO Divergence and Aggregate Signal ComboThis is a further development of the last two posts on aggregated signal generation. It shows how to implement the idea in conjunction with another indicator. In this case general rule for long and short entry: the aggregated curve (gray) must cross the mid-line. Colored columns serve as an early warning. Settings were tested with EURUSD in 5m, 30m and 1H TFs.
On Balance Volume +This is the standard On Balance Volume indicator, with the addition of four things:
10-SMA
20-SMA
100-SMA
Bollinger Bands
I have found intriguing and surprising results with this indicator.
I often see OBV bouncing off of the Moving Average lines, much like support and resistance points.
More interesting is the fact that it "obeys" the bollinger bands. Often times, if OBV sneaks outside of the Bollinger Band, it will almost always correct and get back in the next day.
I would recommend that you find your own method, and PLEASE post in the comments as to how you use this, but I'll tell you
How I use this indicator:
I usually use this on the daily view. I tend to wait until OBV has moved above the red 20-Day SMA before considering an entry. Below that doesn't show enough positive volume for me to identify enough interest in the security. Once it breaks the red SMA, I'll look at other indicators for confirmation. If price is above the Bollinger Band up above, and my OBV is above Bollinger Band, I will not buy. Also, if MACD is dropping, or if the Stochastic RSI is pegged out in overbought land, I won't buy that either.
If, however, I'm seeing good stuff from Stochastic RSI, RSI, MACD, and price BB, then I'll take a long entry at that OBV + 20SMA crossover.
If I'm in a long position and I see a few signals like the OBV is above the BB, and price is above BB, and StochRSI or RSI are in/near overbought land, I'll often sell that day, expecting a pullback on price.
I really like this one, it's been quite helpful in my trading. This is my first venture into using Volume for trading, and it's been good so far.
Leave me a note in the comments to tell me how it goes and how you use this thing!
Ichimoku-Hausky_v2.1Made a little update to my trading system. This system is made so that you can easily follow the trend and know when to get out. You still have to know basic market structure to find a good entry.
NB!! I see that i placed the entry wrong on the example, you have too wait for the EMA to go below the MA :)
I have posted the right one at the bottom.
Take profit can be set at last low or you can use trail stop on the EMA, MA, Kijun-sen or Tenkan-sen.
Example rules:
Buy:
IF Market is in a trend or are possibly close to break out of range
THEN see if price has closed above cloud
IF price has closed above cloud
THEN see if EMA has crossed above MA
IF EMA has crossed above MA
THEN buy or wait for pullback
Sell:
IF Market is in a trend or are possibly close to break out of range
THEN see if price has closed below cloud
IF price has closed below cloud
THEN see if EMA has crossed below MA
IF EMA has crossed below MA
THEN buy or wait for pullback
Vervoort Heiken-Ashi LongTerm Candlestick Oscillator [LazyBear]HACOLT (Heikin Ashi Candles Oscillator Long Term) is a technical indicator designed by Sylvain Vervoort. It is based on Mr.Vervoort's other indicator, HACO (Heikin-Ashi Candles Oscillator - posted here: ).
Optimized for long-term trading, HACOLT shows three levels: -1, 0 and 1. These levels suggest "an open short position", "no open position", and "an open long position", respectively. Passing from a certain level to another is viewed as a trading signal:
- Rising from -1 or 0 to 1 suggests a Long Entry and Short exit;
- Falling from 1 to 0 or -1 suggests a Long Exit;
- Falling from 1 or 0 to -1 indicates a Short Entry.
Fits in nicely with any trading setup as a confirmation indicator

Price Lag Factor (PLF)📊 Price Lag Factor (PLF) for Crypto Traders: A Comprehensive Breakdown
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) is a momentum indicator designed to identify overextended price movements and gauge market momentum. It is particularly optimized for the crypto market, which is known for its high volatility and rapid trend shifts.
🔎 What is the Price Lag Factor (PLF)?
The PLF measures the difference between long-term and short-term price momentum and scales it dynamically based on recent volatility. This helps traders identify when the market might be overbought or oversold while filtering out noise.
The formula used in the PLF calculation is:
PLF = (Z-Long - Z-Short) / Stdev(PLF)
Where:
Z-long: Z-score of the long-term moving average (50-period by default).
Z-short: Z-score of the short-term moving average (14-period by default).
Stdev(PLF): Standard deviation of the PLF over a longer period (50-period by default).
🧠 How to Interpret the PLF:
1. Trend Direction:
Positive PLF (Green Bars): Indicates bullish momentum. The long-term trend is up, and short-term movements are confirming it.
Negative PLF (Red Bars): Indicates bearish momentum. The long-term trend is down, and short-term movements are consistent with it.
2. Momentum Strength:
PLF near Zero (±0.5): Low momentum; trend direction is not strong.
PLF between ±1 and ±2: Moderate momentum, indicating that the market is moving with strength but not in an overextended state.
PLF beyond ±2: High momentum (overbought/oversold), indicating potential trend exhaustion and a possible reversal.
📈 Trading Strategies:
1. Trend Following:
Bullish Signal:
Enter long when PLF crosses above 0 and remains green.
Confirm with other indicators like RSI or MACD to reduce false signals.
Bearish Signal:
Enter short when PLF crosses below 0 and remains red.
Use trend confirmation (e.g., moving average crossover) for better accuracy.
2. Reversal Trading:
Overbought Signal:
If PLF rises above +2, look for signs of bearish divergence or a reversal pattern to consider a short entry.
Oversold Signal:
If PLF falls below -2, watch for bullish divergence or a support bounce to consider a long entry.
3. Momentum Divergence:
Bullish Divergence:
Price makes a lower low while PLF makes a higher low.
Indicates weakening bearish momentum and a potential bullish reversal.
Bearish Divergence:
Price makes a higher high while PLF makes a lower high.
Signals weakening bullish momentum and a potential bearish reversal.
💡 Best Practices:
Combine with Volume:
Volume spikes during high PLF readings can confirm trend continuation.
Low volume during PLF extremes may hint at false breakouts.
Watch for Extreme Levels:
PLF beyond ±2 suggests overextended price action. Use caution when entering new positions.
Confirm with Other Indicators:
Use with Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Bollinger Bands to get a better sense of overbought/oversold conditions.
Overlay with a moving average to gauge trend consistency.
🚀 Why the PLF Works for Crypto:
Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to rapid trend changes. The PLF's adaptive scaling ensures it remains relevant regardless of market conditions.
It highlights momentum shifts more accurately than static indicators because it accounts for changing volatility in its calculation.
🚨 Disclaimer for Traders Using the Price Lag Factor (PLF) Indicator:
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool to gauge momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. However, it should not be relied upon as a sole decision-making factor for trading or investing.
Important Points to Consider:
Market Risk: Trading cryptocurrencies and other financial assets involves significant risk. The PLF may not accurately predict future price movements, especially during unexpected market events.
Indicator Limitations: No technical indicator, including the PLF, is infallible. False signals can occur, particularly in low-volume or highly volatile conditions.
Supplementary Analysis: Always combine PLF insights with other technical indicators, fundamental analysis, and risk management strategies to make informed decisions.
Personal Judgment: Traders should use their own discretion when interpreting PLF signals and never trade based solely on this indicator.
No Guarantees: The PLF is designed for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Always perform thorough research and consider consulting with a professional financial advisor before making any trading decisions.
TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge is a trend-following indicator that combines Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS), to generate precise buy and sell signals. This unique mashup leverages the strengths of trend confirmation through SMAs and market structure analysis via ICT to help traders identify high-probability trend entries. The indicator is designed to be intuitive, customizable, and suitable for traders of all levels seeking to align with market trends on various timeframes.
//
// ### What It Does
// The indicator plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of candles to define the trend direction. It colors the SMAs and fills the area between them to visually indicate whether the price is in a bullish (above both SMAs), bearish (below both SMAs), or neutral (between SMAs) state. Simultaneously, it identifies BOS and MSS levels on a user-defined higher timeframe to confirm trend continuation or reversal points. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price closes above/below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on user preference) while also being correctly positioned relative to the SMAs, ensuring alignment with the trend.
//
// ### Why Combine SMAs and ICT?
// SMAs provide a reliable way to gauge trend direction by smoothing price data, but they can lag or generate false signals in choppy markets. ICT's BOS and MSS concepts address this by focusing on key market structure breaks, offering context for significant price movements. By requiring price to close beyond a BOS or MSS level and align with the SMA-defined trend, the TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge filters out noise and enhances signal reliability. This combination creates a robust system that balances trend-following simplicity with structural market insights, making it ideal for trend traders.
//
// ### How to Use
// 1. **SMA Length**: Adjust the `SMA Length` (default: 20) to control the sensitivity of the SMAs. Shorter lengths react faster to price changes, while longer lengths provide smoother trends.
// 2. **Structure Timeframe**: Set the `Structure Timeframe` to a higher timeframe (e.g., "1H" on a 15M chart) to calculate BOS and MSS levels. This ensures structural signals are based on significant market moves.
// 3. **Chart Timeframe**: Select the `Chart Timeframe` to optimize pivot point calculations for your current chart (e.g., "30M" for a 30-minute chart).
// 4. **Signal Type**: Choose between "BOS" (default) for signals based on trend continuation breaks or "MSS" for signals based on potential reversal points (breakers).
// 5. **Display Options**: Enable/disable `Show Continuation (BOS)` and `Show Breaker (MSS)` to toggle the visibility of BOS and MSS lines. Customize their colors for better chart clarity.
//
// ### Signals
// - **Buy Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses above the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is above both SMAs, indicating a bullish trend entry. Marked with a green "Buy" label.
// - **Sell Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is below both SMAs, indicating a bearish trend entry. Marked with a red "Sell" label.
//
// ### Originality
// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge stands out by integrating the trend-following reliability of SMAs with the structural precision of ICT's BOS and MSS. Unlike standalone SMA or ICT indicators, this script requires both trend alignment and structural confirmation, reducing false signals. The user-selectable Signal Type (BOS or MSS) adds versatility, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to trend-following or counter-trend strategies. Its dynamic timeframe adjustments and visual clarity make it a unique tool for traders seeking to capture trend entries with confidence.
//
// ### Notes
// - Ensure the `Structure Timeframe` is higher than your chart timeframe to avoid calculation issues.
// - Signals are generated only when the trend state changes to avoid redundant signals in the same trend direction.
// - Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always combine this indicator with other analysis and risk management techniques.
Reversal + Confirm ZonesThis script is written in Pine Script (version 5) for TradingView and creates an indicator called **"Reversal + Confirm Zones"**. It overlays visual zones on a price chart to identify potential reversal points and confirmation signals for trading. The indicator combines **Bollinger Bands** and **RSI** to detect overbought/oversold conditions (reversal zones) and uses **EMA crosses** and **MACD zero-line crosses** to confirm bullish or bearish trends. Below is a detailed explanation:
---
### **1. Purpose**
- The script highlights:
- **Reversal Zones**: Areas where the price might reverse due to being overbought (green) or oversold (red).
- **Confirmation Zones**: Areas where a trend reversal is confirmed using EMA and MACD signals (green for bullish, red for bearish).
- It provides visual backgrounds and alerts to assist traders in spotting potential trade setups.
---
### **2. Components**
The script is divided into two main parts: **Reversal Logic** and **Confirmation Logic**.
---
### **3. Reversal Logic (Red & Green Zones)**
#### **Bollinger Bands**
- **Parameters**:
- Length: 20 periods.
- Source: Closing price (`close`).
- Multiplier: 2.0 (standard deviations).
- **Calculation**:
- `basis`: 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
- `dev`: 2 times the standard deviation of the price over 20 periods.
- `upper`: `basis + dev` (upper band).
- `lower`: `basis - dev` (lower band).
- **Purpose**: Identifies when the price moves outside the normal range (beyond 2 standard deviations).
#### **Relative Strength Index (RSI)**
- **Parameters**:
- Length: 14 periods.
- Low Threshold: 30 (oversold).
- High Threshold: 70 (overbought).
- **Calculation**: `rsiValue = ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)`.
- **Purpose**: Measures momentum to confirm overbought or oversold conditions.
#### **Zone Conditions**
- **Red Zone (Oversold)**:
- Condition: `close < lower` (price below lower Bollinger Band) AND `rsiValue < rsiLowThreshold` (RSI < 30).
- Visual: Light red background (`color.new(color.red, 80)`).
- Alert: "Deep Oversold Signal triggered!".
- **Green Zone (Overbought)**:
- Condition: `close > upper` (price above upper Bollinger Band) AND `rsiValue > rsiHighThreshold` (RSI > 70).
- Visual: Light green background (`color.new(color.green, 80)`).
- Alert: "Deep Overbought Signal triggered!".
#### **Interpretation**
- Red Zone: Suggests the price is oversold and may reverse upward.
- Green Zone: Suggests the price is overbought and may reverse downward.
---
### **4. Confirmation Logic (EMA and MACD Crosses)**
#### **Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**
- **Parameters**:
- Short EMA Length: 9 periods (user adjustable).
- Long EMA Length: 21 periods (user adjustable).
- **Calculation**:
- `emaShort = ta.ema(close, emaShortLength)`.
- `emaLong = ta.ema(close, emaLongLength)`.
- **Conditions**:
- **Bullish EMA Cross**: `emaCrossBullish = ta.crossover(emaShort, emaLong)` (9 EMA crosses above 21 EMA).
- **Bearish EMA Cross**: `emaCrossBearish = ta.crossunder(emaShort, emaLong)` (9 EMA crosses below 21 EMA).
#### **MACD**
- **Parameters**:
- Fast Length: 12 periods (user adjustable).
- Slow Length: 26 periods (user adjustable).
- Signal Smoothing: 9 periods (user adjustable).
- **Calculation**:
- ` = ta.macd(close, macdFastLength, macdSlowLength, macdSignalSmoothing)`.
- Only the MACD line and signal line are used; the histogram is ignored (`_`).
- **Conditions**:
- **Bullish MACD Cross**: `macdCrossBullish = ta.crossover(macdLine, 0)` (MACD crosses above zero).
- **Bearish MACD Cross**: `macdCrossBearish = ta.crossunder(macdLine, 0)` (MACD crosses below zero).
#### **Combined Confirmation Conditions**
- **Bullish Confirmation**:
- Condition: `bullishConfirmation = emaCrossBullish and macdCrossBullish`.
- Visual: Very light green background (`color.new(color.green, 90)`).
- Meaning: A bullish trend is confirmed when the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA AND the MACD crosses above zero.
- **Bearish Confirmation**:
- Condition: `bearishConfirmation = emaCrossBearish and macdCrossBearish`.
- Visual: Very light red background (`color.new(color.red, 90)`).
- Meaning: A bearish trend is confirmed when the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA AND the MACD crosses below zero.
---
### **5. Visual Outputs**
- **Reversal Zones**:
- Red background for oversold conditions.
- Green background for overbought conditions.
- **Confirmation Zones**:
- Light green background for bullish confirmation.
- Light red background for bearish confirmation.
- Note: The script does not plot the Bollinger Bands, EMAs, or MACD lines—only the background zones are visualized.
---
### **6. Alerts**
- **Deep Oversold Alert**: Triggers when the red zone condition is met.
- **Deep Overbought Alert**: Triggers when the green zone condition is met.
- No alerts are set for the confirmation zones (EMA/MACD crosses).
---
### **7. How It Works**
1. **Reversal Detection**:
- The script uses Bollinger Bands and RSI to flag extreme price levels (red for oversold, green for overbought).
- These zones suggest potential reversals but are not confirmed yet.
2. **Trend Confirmation**:
- EMA crosses (9/21) and MACD zero-line crosses provide confirmation of a trend direction.
- Bullish confirmation (green) occurs when both indicators align upward.
- Bearish confirmation (red) occurs when both indicators align downward.
3. **Trading Strategy**:
- Look for a red zone (oversold) followed by a bullish confirmation for a potential long entry.
- Look for a green zone (overbought) followed by a bearish confirmation for a potential short entry.
---
### **8. How to Use**
1. Add the script to TradingView.
2. Adjust inputs (EMA lengths, MACD settings) if desired.
3. Monitor the chart:
- Red zones indicate oversold conditions—watch for a potential upward reversal.
- Green zones indicate overbought conditions—watch for a potential downward reversal.
- Light green/red backgrounds confirm the trend direction after a reversal zone.
4. Set up alerts for oversold/overbought conditions to catch reversal signals early.
---
### **9. Key Features**
- **Dual Purpose**: Combines reversal detection (Bollinger Bands + RSI) with trend confirmation (EMA + MACD).
- **Visual Simplicity**: Uses background colors instead of plotting lines, keeping the chart clean.
- **Customizable**: Allows users to tweak EMA and MACD periods.
- **Alerts**: Notifies users of extreme conditions for timely action.
---
### **10. Limitations**
- No plotted indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands, EMAs, MACD) for visual reference—relies entirely on background shading.
- Confirmation signals (EMA/MACD) may lag behind reversal zones, potentially missing fast reversals.
- No alerts for confirmation zones, limiting real-time notification of trend confirmation.
This script is ideal for traders who want a straightforward way to spot potential reversals and confirm them with trend-following indicators, all overlaid on the price chart.
Equity Curve with Trend Indicator (Long & Short) - SimulationOverview:
Market Regime Detector via Virtual Equity Curve is a unique indicator that simulates the performance of a trend-following trading system—incorporating both long and short trades—to help you identify prevailing market regimes. By generating a “virtual equity” curve based on simple trend signals and applying trend analysis directly on that curve, this indicator visually differentiates trending regimes from mean-reverting (or sideways) periods. The result is an intuitive display where green areas indicate a trending (bullish) regime (i.e., where trend-following strategies are likely to perform well) and red areas indicate a mean-reverting (bearish) regime.
Features:
Simulated Trade Performance:
Uses a built-in trend-following logic (a simple 10/50 SMA crossover example) to simulate both long and short trades. This simulation creates a virtual equity curve that reflects the cumulative performance of the system over time.
Equity Trend Analysis:
Applies an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the simulated equity curve to filter short-term noise. The EMA acts as a trend filter, enabling the indicator to determine if the equity curve is in an upward (trending) or downward (mean-reverting) phase.
Dynamic Visual Regime Detection:
Fills the area between the equity curve and its EMA with green when the equity is above the EMA (indicating a healthy trending regime) and red when below (indicating a mean-reverting or underperforming regime).
Customizable Parameters:
Easily adjust the initial capital, the length of the equity EMA, and other settings to tailor the simulation and visual output to your trading style and market preferences.
How It Works:
Trade Simulation:
The indicator generates trading signals using a simple SMA crossover:
When the 10-period SMA is above the 50-period SMA, it simulates a long entry.
When the 10-period SMA is below the 50-period SMA, it simulates a short entry. The virtual equity is updated bar-by-bar based on these simulated positions.
Equity Trend Filtering:
An EMA is calculated on the simulated equity curve to smooth out fluctuations. The relative position of the equity curve versus its EMA is then used as a proxy for the market regime:
Bullish Regime: Equity is above its EMA → fill area in green.
Bearish Regime: Equity is below its EMA → fill area in red.
Visualization:
The indicator plots:
A gray line representing the simulated equity curve.
An orange line for the EMA of the equity curve.
A dynamic fill between the two lines, colored green or red based on the prevailing regime.
Inputs & Customization:
Initial Capital: Set your starting virtual account balance (default: 10,000 USD).
Equity EMA Length: Specify the lookback period for the EMA applied to the equity curve (default: 30).
Trend Signal Logic:
The current implementation uses a simple SMA crossover for demonstration purposes. Users can modify or replace this logic with their own trend-following indicator to tailor the simulation further.
True Strength Index with Zones & AlertsKey Features:
True Strength Index (TSI) Calculation
Uses double-smoothed exponential moving averages (EMA) to calculate TSI.
A signal line (EMA of TSI) helps confirm trends.
Dynamic Color Coding for TSI Line
Green: TSI is above the signal line (Bullish).
Red: TSI is below the signal line (Bearish).
Crossover & Crossunder Signals
Bullish Crossover (TSI crosses above Signal Line) → Green Circle.
Bearish Crossunder (TSI crosses below Signal Line) → Red Circle.
Alerts for Trading Signals
Buy Alert: TSI crosses above the signal line.
Sell Alert: TSI crosses below the signal line.
Overbought & Oversold Zones
Overbought: Between 40 and 50 (Red Zone).
Oversold: Between -40 and -50 (Green Zone).
Highlighted Background when TSI enters these zones.
Neutral Line at 0
Helps determine trend direction and momentum shifts.
How to Use These Values:
• TSI Crosses Above Signal Line → Bullish entry.
• TSI Crosses Below Signal Line → Bearish entry.
• Overbought (+40 to +50) & Oversold (-40 to -50) zones → Watch for trend reversals.
• Divergence Signals → If price makes a new high/low but TSI doesn’t, momentum is weakening.
