Money Flow Pulse💸 In markets where volatility is cheap and structure is noisy, what matters most isn’t just the move — it’s the effort behind it. Money Flow Pulse (MFP) offers a compact, color-coded readout of real-time conviction by scoring volume-weighted price action on a five-tier scale. It doesn’t try to predict reversals or validate trends. Instead, it reveals the quality of the move in progress: is it fading , driving , exhausting , or hollow ?
🎨 MFP draws from the traditional Money Flow Index (MFI), a volume-enhanced momentum oscillator, but transforms it into a modular “pressure readout” that fits seamlessly into any structural overlay. Rather than oscillating between extremes with little interpretive guidance, MFP discretizes the flow into clean, color-coded regimes ranging from strong inflow (+2) to strong outflow (–2). The result is a responsive diagnostic layer that complements, rather than competes with, tools like ATR and/or On-Balance Volume.
5️⃣ MFP uses a normalized MFI value smoothed over 13 periods and classified into a 5-tier readout of Volume-Driven Conviction :
🍆 Exhaustion Inflow — usually a top or blowoff; not strength, but overdrive (+2)
🥝 Active Inflow — supportive of trend continuation (+1)
🍋 Neutral — chop, coil, or fakeouts (0)
🍑 Selling Intent — weakening structure, possible fade setups (-1)
🍆 Exhaustion Outflow — often signals forced selling or accumulation traps (-2)
🎭 These tiers are not arbitrary. Each one is tuned to reflect real capital behavior across timeframes. For instance, while +1 may support continuation, +2 often precedes exhaustion — especially on the lower timeframes. Similarly, a –1 reading during a pullback suggests sell-side pressure is building, but a shift to –2 may mean capitulation is already underway. The difference between the two can define whether a move is tradable continuation or strategic exhaustion .
🌊 The MFI ROC (Rate of Change) feature can be toggled to become a volatility-aware pulse monitor beneath the derived MFI tier. Instead of scoring direction or structure, ROC reveals how fast conviction is changing — not just where it’s headed, but how hard it's accelerating or decaying. It measures the raw Δ between the current and previous MFI values, exposing bursts of energy, fading pressure, or transitional churn .
🎢 Visually, ROC appears as a low-opacity area fill, anchored to a shared lemon-yellow zero line. When the green swell rises, buying pressure is accelerating; when the red drops, flow is actively deteriorating. A subtle bump may signal early interest — while a steep wave hints at an emotional overreaction. The ROC value itself provides numeric insight alongside the raw MFI score. A reading of +3.50 implies strong upside momentum in the flow — often supporting trend ignition. A score of –6.00 suggests rapid deceleration or full exhaustion — often preceding reversals or failed breakouts.
・ MFI shows you where the flow is
・ ROC tells you how it’s behaving
😎 This blend reveals not just structure or intent — but also urgency . And in flow-based trading, urgency often precedes outcome.
🧩 Divergence isn’t delay — it’s disagreement . One of the most revealing features of MFP is how it exposes momentum dissonance — situations where price and flow part ways. These divergences often front-run pivots , traps , or velocity stalls . Unlike RSI-style divergence, which whispers of exhaustion, MFI divergence signals a breakdown in conviction. The structure may extend — but the effort isn’t there.
・ Price ▲ MFI ▼ → Effortless Markup : Often signals distribution or a grind into liquidity. Without rising MFI, the rally lacks true flow participation — a warning of fragility.
・ Price ▼ MFI ▲ → Absorption or Early Accumulation : Price breaks down, but money keeps flowing in — a hidden bid. Watch for MFI tier shifts or ROC bursts to confirm a reversal.
🏄♂️ These moments don’t require signal overlays or setup hunting. MFP narrates the imbalance. When price breaks structure but flow does not — or vice versa — you’re not seeing trend, you’re seeing disagreement, and that's where edge begins.
💤 MFP is especially effective on intraday charts where volume dislocations matter most. On the 1H or 15m chart, it helps distinguish between breakouts with conviction versus those lacking flow. On higher timeframes, its resolution softens — it becomes more of a drift indicator than a trigger device. That’s by design: MFP prioritizes pulse, not position. It’s not the fire, it’s the heat.
📎 Use MFP in confluence with structural overlays to validate price behavior. A ribbon expansion with rising MFP is real. A compression breakout without +1 flow is "fishy". Watch how MFP behaves near key zones like anchored VWAP, MAs or accumulation pivots. When MFP rises into a +2 and fails to sustain, the reversal isn’t just technical — it’s flow-based.
🪟 MFP doesn’t speak loudly, but it never whispers without reason. It’s the pulse check before action — the breath of the move before the breakout. While it stays visually minimal on the chart, the true power is in the often overlooked Data Window, where traders can read and interpret the score in real time. Once internalized, these values give structure-aware traders a framework for conviction, continuation, or caution.
🛜 MFP doesn’t chase momentum — it confirms conviction. And in markets defined by noise, that signal isn’t just helpful — it’s foundational.

Stochastic Order Flow Momentum [ScorsoneEnterprises]This indicator implements a stochastic model of order flow using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, combined with a Kalman filter to smooth momentum signals. It is designed to capture the dynamic momentum of volume delta, representing the net buying or selling pressure per bar, and highlight potential shifts in market direction. The volume delta data is sourced from TradingView’s built-in functionality:
www.tradingview.com
For a deeper dive into stochastic processes like the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model in financial contexts, see these research articles: arxiv.org and arxiv.org
The SOFM tool aims to reveal the momentum and acceleration of order flow, modeled as a mean-reverting stochastic process. In markets, order flow often oscillates around a baseline, with bursts of buying or selling pressure that eventually fade—similar to how physical systems return to equilibrium. The OU process captures this behavior, while the Kalman filter refines the signal by filtering noise. Parameters theta (mean reversion rate), mu (mean level), and sigma (volatility) are estimated by minimizing a squared-error objective function using gradient descent, ensuring adaptability to real-time market conditions.
How It Works
The script combines a stochastic model with signal processing. Here’s a breakdown of the key components, including the OU equation and supporting functions.
// Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for volume delta
ou_model(params, v_t, lkb) =>
theta = clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)
mu = clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)
sigma = clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)
error = 0.0
v_pred = array.new(lkb, 0.0)
array.set(v_pred, 0, array.get(v_t, 0))
for i = 1 to lkb - 1
v_prev = array.get(v_pred, i - 1)
v_curr = array.get(v_t, i)
// Discretized OU: v_t = v_{t-1} + theta * (mu - v_{t-1}) + sigma * noise
v_next = v_prev + theta * (mu - v_prev)
array.set(v_pred, i, v_next)
v_curr_clean = na(v_curr) ? 0 : v_curr
v_pred_clean = na(v_next) ? 0 : v_next
error := error + math.pow(v_curr_clean - v_pred_clean, 2)
error
The ou_model function implements a discretized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process:
v_t = v_{t-1} + theta (mu - v_{t-1})
The model predicts volume delta (v_t) based on its previous value, adjusted by the mean-reverting term theta (mu - v_{t-1}), with sigma representing the volatility of random shocks (approximated in the Kalman filter).
Parameters Explained
The parameters theta, mu, and sigma represent distinct aspects of order flow dynamics:
Theta:
Definition: The mean reversion rate, controlling how quickly volume delta returns to its mean (mu). Constrained between 0.01 and 1.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)).
Interpretation: A higher theta indicates faster reversion (short-lived momentum), while a lower theta suggests persistent trends. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, theta scales the pull toward \mu, influencing the predicted v_t.
Mu:
Definition: The long-term mean of volume delta, representing the equilibrium level of net buying/selling pressure. Constrained between -100.0 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A positive mu suggests a bullish bias, while a negative mu indicates bearish pressure. Initial value is 0.0 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, mu is the target level that v_t reverts to over time.
Sigma:
Definition: The volatility of volume delta, capturing the magnitude of random fluctuations. Constrained between 0.01 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A higher sigma reflects choppier, noisier order flow, while a lower sigma indicates smoother behavior. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In the Kalman filter, sigma contributes to the error term, adjusting the smoothing process.
Summary:
theta: Speed of mean reversion (how fast momentum fades).
mu: Baseline order flow level (bullish or bearish bias).
sigma: Noise level (variability in order flow).
Other Parts of the Script
Clamp
A utility function to constrain parameters, preventing extreme values that could destabilize the model.
ObjectiveFunc
Defines the objective function (sum of squared errors) to minimize during parameter optimization. It compares the OU model’s predicted volume delta to observed data, returning a float to be minimized.
How It Works: Calls ou_model to generate predictions, computes the squared error for each timestep, and sums it. Used in optimization to assess parameter fit.
FiniteDifferenceGradient
Calculates the gradient of the objective function using finite differences. Think of it as finding the "slope" of the error surface for each parameter. It nudges each parameter (theta, mu, sigma) by a small amount (epsilon) and measures the change in error, returning an array of gradients.
Minimize
Performs gradient descent to optimize parameters. It iteratively adjusts theta, mu, and sigma by stepping down the "hill" of the error surface, using the gradients from FiniteDifferenceGradient. Stops when the gradient norm falls below a tolerance (0.001) or after 20 iterations.
Kalman Filter
Smooths the OU-modeled volume delta to extract momentum. It uses the optimized theta, mu, and sigma to predict the next state, then corrects it with observed data via the Kalman gain. The result is a cleaner momentum signal.
Applied
After initializing parameters (theta = 0.1, mu = 0.0, sigma = 0.1), the script optimizes them using volume delta data over the lookback period. The optimized parameters feed into the Kalman filter, producing a smoothed momentum array. The average momentum and its rate of change (acceleration) are calculated, though only momentum is plotted by default.
A rising momentum suggests increasing buying or selling pressure, while a flattening or reversing momentum indicates fading activity. Acceleration (not plotted here) could highlight rapid shifts.
Tool Examples
The SOFM indicator provides a dynamic view of order flow momentum, useful for spotting directional shifts or consolidation.
Low Time Frame Example: On a 5-minute chart of SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ , a rising momentum above zero with a lookback of 5 might signal building buying pressure, while a drop below zero suggests selling dominance. Crossings of the zero line can mark transitions, though the focus is on trend strength rather than frequent crossovers.
High Time Frame Example: On a daily chart of NYSE:VST , a sustained positive momentum could confirm a bullish trend, while a sharp decline might warn of exhaustion. The mean-reverting nature of the OU process helps filter out noise on longer scales. It doesn’t make the most sense to use this on a high timeframe with what our data is.
Choppy Markets: When momentum oscillates near zero, it signals indecision or low conviction, helping traders avoid whipsaws. Larger deviations from zero suggest stronger directional moves to act on, this is on $STT.
Inputs
Lookback: Users can set the lookback period (default 5) to adjust the sensitivity of the OU model and Kalman filter. Shorter lookbacks react faster but may be noisier; longer lookbacks smooth more but lag slightly.
The user can also specify the timeframe they want the volume delta from. There is a default way to lower and expand the time frame based on the one we are looking at, but users have the flexibility.
No indicator is 100% accurate, and SOFM is no exception. It’s an estimation tool, blending stochastic modeling with signal processing to provide a leading view of order flow momentum. Use it alongside price action, support/resistance, and your own discretion for best results. I encourage comments and constructive criticism.
TMO (True Momentum Oscillator)TMO ((T)rue (M)omentum (O)scilator)
Created by Mobius V01.05.2018 TOS Convert to TV using Claude 3.7 and ChatGPT 03 Mini :
TMO calculates momentum using the delta of price. Giving a much better picture of trend, tend reversals and divergence than momentum oscillators using price.
True Momentum Oscillator (TMO)
The True Momentum Oscillator (TMO) is a momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify trend direction, trend strength, and potential reversal points in the market. It's particularly useful for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, aiding traders in timing their entries and exits.
How it Works:
The TMO calculates market momentum by analyzing recent price action:
Momentum Calculation:
For a user-defined length (e.g., 14 bars), TMO compares the current closing price to past open prices. It assigns:
+1 if the current close is greater than the open price of the past bar (indicating bullish momentum).
-1 if it's less (indicating bearish momentum).
0 if there's no change.
The sum of these scores gives a raw momentum measure.
EMA Smoothing:
To reduce noise and false signals, this raw momentum is smoothed using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
First, the raw data is smoothed by an EMA over a short calculation period (default: 5).
Then, it undergoes additional smoothing through another EMA (default: 3 bars), creating the primary "Main" line of the indicator.
Lastly, a "Signal" line is derived by applying another EMA (also default: 3 bars) to the main line, adding further refinement.
Trend Identification:
The indicator plots two lines:
Main Line: Indicates current momentum strength and direction.
Signal Line: Acts as a reference line, similar to a moving average crossover system.
When the Main line crosses above the Signal line, it suggests strengthening bullish momentum. Conversely, when the Main line crosses below the Signal line, it indicates increasing bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
The indicator identifies key levels based on the chosen length parameter:
Overbought zone (positive threshold): Suggests the market might be overheated, and a potential bearish reversal or pullback could occur.
Oversold zone (negative threshold): Suggests the market might be excessively bearish, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Clouds visually mark these overbought/oversold areas, making it easy to see potential reversal zones.
Trading Applications:
Trend-following: Traders can enter positions based on crossovers of the Main and Signal lines.
Reversals: The overbought and oversold areas highlight high-probability reversal points.
Momentum confirmation: Use TMO to confirm price action or other technical signals, improving trade accuracy and timing.
The True Momentum Oscillator provides clarity in identifying momentum shifts, making it a valuable addition to various trading strategies.
Uptrick: Universal Market ValuationIntroduction
Uptrick: Universal Market Valuation is created for traders who seek an analytical tool that brings together multiple signals in one place. Whether you focus on intraday scalping or long-term portfolio management, the indicator merges various well-known technical indicators to help gauge potential overvaluation, undervaluation, and trend direction. It is engineered to highlight different market dimensions, from immediate price momentum to extended cyclical trends.
Overview
The indicator categorizes market conditions into short-term, long-term, or a classic Z-Score style reading. Additionally, it draws on a unified trend line for directional bias. By fusing elements from traditionally separate indicators, the indicator aims to reduce “false positives” while giving a multidimensional view of price behavior. The indicator works best on cryptocurrency markets while remaining a universal valuation indicator that performs well across all timeframes. However, on lower timeframes, the Long-Term Combo input may be too long-term, so it's recommended to select the Short-Term Combo in the inputs for better adaptability.
Originality and Value
The Uptrick: Universal Market Valuation indicator is not just a simple combination of existing technical indicators—it introduces a multi-layered, adaptive valuation model that enhances signal clarity, reduces false positives, and provides traders with a more refined assessment of market conditions.
Rather than treating each included indicator as an independent signal, this script normalizes and synthesizes multiple indicators into a unified composite score, ensuring that short-term and long-term momentum, mean reversion, and trend strength are all dynamically weighted based on market behavior. It employs a proprietary weighting system that adjusts how each component contributes to the final valuation output. Instead of static threshold-based signals, the indicator integrates adaptive filtering mechanisms that account for volatility fluctuations, drawdowns, and momentum shifts, ensuring more reliable overbought/oversold readings.
Additionally, the script applies Z-Score-based deviation modeling, which refines price valuation by filtering out extreme readings that are statistically insignificant. This enhances the detection of true overvaluation and undervaluation points by comparing price behavior against a dynamically calculated standard deviation threshold rather than relying solely on traditional fixed oscillator bands. The MVRV-inspired ratio provides a unique valuation layer by incorporating historical fair-value estimations, offering deeper insight into market overextension.
The Universal Trend Line within the indicator is designed to smooth trend direction while maintaining responsiveness to market shifts. Unlike conventional trend indicators that may lag significantly or produce excessive false signals, this trend-following mechanism dynamically adjusts to changing price structures, helping traders confirm directional bias with reduced noise. This approach enables clearer trend recognition and assists in distinguishing between short-lived pullbacks and sustained market movements.
By merging momentum oscillators, trend strength indicators, volume-driven metrics, statistical deviation models, and long-term valuation principles into a single framework, this indicator eliminates the need for juggling multiple individual indicators, helping traders achieve a holistic market perspective while maintaining customization flexibility. The combination of real-time alerts, dynamic color-based valuation visualization, and customizable trend-following modes further enhances usability, making it a comprehensive tool for traders across different timeframes and asset classes.
Inputs and Features
• Calculation Window (Short-Term and Long-Term)
Defines how much historical data the indicator uses to evaluate the market. A smaller window makes the indicator more reactive, benefiting high-frequency traders. A larger window provides a steadier perspective for longer-term holders.
• Smoothing Period (Short-Term and Long-Term)
Controls how much the raw indicator outputs are “smoothed out.” Lower values reveal subtle intraday fluctuations, while higher values aim to present more robust, stable signals.
• Valuation Mechanism (Short Term Combo, Long Term Combo, Classic Z-Score)
Allows you to pick how the indicator evaluates overvaluation or undervaluation. Short Term Combo focuses on rapid oscillations, Long Term Combo assesses market health over more extended periods, and the Classic Z-Score approach highlights statistically unusual price levels.
Short-Term
• Determination Mechanism (Strict or Loose)
Governs the tolerance for labeling a market as overvalued or undervalued. Strict requires stronger confirmation; Loose begins labeling sooner, potentially catching moves earlier but risking more false signals.
Strict
Loose
• Select Color Scheme
Lets you choose the aesthetic style for your charts. Visual clarity can significantly improve reaction time, especially when multiple indicators are combined.
• Z-Score Coloring Mode (Heat or Slope)
Determines how the Classic Z-Score line and bars are colored. In Heat mode, the indicator intensifies color as readings move further from a baseline average. Slope mode changes color based on the direction of movement, making turning points more evident.
Classic Z-Score - Heat
Classic Z-Score - Slope
• Trend Following Mode (Short, Long, Extra Long, Filtered Long)
Offers various ways to compute and smooth the universal trend line. Short is more sensitive, Long and Extra Long are meant for extended time horizons, and Filtered Long applies an extra smoothing layer to help you see overarching trends rather than smaller fluctuations.

• Table Display
An optional feature that places a concise summary table on the chart. It shows valuation states, trend direction, volatility condition, and other metrics, letting you observe multi-angle readings at a glance.
• Alerts
Multiple alert triggers can be set up—for crossing into overvaluation zones, for abrupt changes in trend, or for high volatility detection. Traders can stay informed without needing to watch charts continuously.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
• RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI is a cornerstone momentum oscillator that interprets speed and change of price movements. It has widespread recognition among traders for detecting potential overbought or oversold conditions. Including RSI provides a tried-and-tested layer of momentum insight.
• Stochastic Oscillator
This oscillator evaluates the closing price relative to its recent price range. Its responsiveness makes it valuable for pinpointing near-term price fluctuations. Where RSI offers a broader momentum picture, Stochastic adds fine-tuned detection of short-lived rallies or pullbacks.
• MFI (Money Flow Index)
MFI assesses buying and selling pressure by incorporating volume data. Many technical tools are purely price-based, but MFI’s volume component helps address questions of liquidity and actual money flow, offering a glimpse of how robust or weak a current move might be.
• CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
CCI shows how far price lies from its statistically “typical” trend. It can spot emerging trends or warn of overextension. Using CCI alongside RSI and Stochastic further refines the valuation layer by capturing price deviation from its underlying trajectory.
• ADX (Average Directional Index)
ADX reveals the strength of a trend but does not specify its direction. This is especially useful in combination with other oscillators that focus on bullish or bearish momentum. ADX can clarify whether a market is truly trending or just moving sideways, lending deeper context to the indicator's broader signals.
• MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
MACD is known for detecting momentum shifts via the interaction of two moving averages. Its inclusion ensures the indicator can capture transitional phases in market momentum. Where RSI and Stochastic concentrate on shorter-term changes, MACD has a slightly longer horizon for identifying robust directional changes.
• Momentum and ROC (Rate of Change)
Momentum and ROC specifically measure the velocity of price moves. By indicating how quickly (or slowly) price is changing compared to previous bars, they help confirm whether a trend is gathering steam, losing it, or is in a transitional stage.
• MVRV-Inspired Ratio
Drawn loosely from the concept of comparing market value to some underlying historical or fair-value metric, an MVRV-style ratio can help identify if an asset is trading above or below a considered norm. This additional viewpoint on valuation goes beyond simple price-based oscillations.
• Z-Score
Z-Score interprets how many standard deviations current prices deviate from a central mean. This statistical measure is often used to identify extreme conditions—either overly high or abnormally low. Z-Score helps highlight potential mean reversion setups by showing when price strays far from typical levels.
By merging these distinct viewpoints—momentum oscillators, trend strength gauges, volume flow, standard deviation extremes, and fundamental-style valuation measures—the indicator aims to create a well-rounded, carefully balanced final readout. Each component serves a specialized function, and together they can mitigate the weaknesses of a single metric acting alone.
Summary
This indicator simplifies multi-indicator analysis by fusing numerous popular technical signals into one tool. You can switch between short-term and long-term valuation perspectives or adopt a classic Z-Score approach for spotting price extremes. The universal trend line clarifies direction, while user-friendly color schemes, optional tabular summaries, and customizable alerts empower traders to maintain awareness without constantly monitoring every market tick.

What Makes BBVOL SwiftEdge Unique?
Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands scripts that focus solely on price volatility, BBVOL SwiftEdge enhances signal precision by:
Using Heikin Ashi to filter out noise and confirm trend direction, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
Incorporating volume analysis to ensure signals align with significant buying or selling pressure (customizable thresholds).
Adding an EMA overlay to keep trades in sync with the short-term trend.
Coloring candlesticks (green for bullish, red for bearish, purple for consolidation) to visually highlight market conditions at a glance.
How Does It Work?
Buy Signal: Triggers when price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, Heikin Ashi shows bullish momentum (close > open), buy volume exceeds your set threshold (default 30%), and price is above the EMA. A green triangle appears below the candle.
Sell Signal: Triggers when price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band, Heikin Ashi turns bearish (close < open), sell volume exceeds the threshold (default 30%), and price is below the EMA. A red triangle appears above the candle.
Trend Visualization: Candles turn green when price is significantly above the Bollinger Bands’ basis (indicating a bullish trend), red when below (bearish trend), or purple when near the basis (consolidation), based on a customizable threshold (default 10% of BB width).
Risk Management: Each signal calculates a stop-loss (10% beyond the opposite band) and take-profit (opposite band), plotted for reference.
How to Use It
Timeframe: Best on 1-minute to 5-minute charts for scalping; test higher timeframes for swing trading.
Markets: Works well in volatile markets like forex pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), crypto (e.g., BTC/USD), or liquid stocks.
Customization: Adjust Bollinger Bands length (default 10), multiplier (default 1.2), volume thresholds (default 30%), EMA length (default 3), and consolidation threshold (default 0.1%) to match your strategy.
Interpretation: Look for green/red triangles as entry signals, confirmed by candle colors. Purple candles suggest caution—wait for a breakout. Use stop-loss/take-profit levels for trade management.
Underlying Concepts
Bollinger Bands: Measures volatility and identifies overbought/oversold zones.
Heikin Ashi: Smooths price action to emphasize trend direction.
Volume Momentum: Calculates cumulative buy/sell volume percentages to confirm market strength (e.g., buyVolPercent = buyVolume / totalVolume * 100).
EMA: A fast-moving average (default length 3) ensures signals align with the immediate trend.
Chart Setup
The chart displays Bollinger Bands (orange), Heikin Ashi close (green circles), EMA (purple), and volume-scaled lines (lime/red). Signals are marked with triangles, and candle colors reflect trend state. Keep the chart clean by focusing on these outputs for clarity.
Bollinger Momentum Deviation | QuantEdgeBIntroducing Bollinger Momentum Deviation (BMD) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Bollinger Momentum Deviation (BMD) is a trend-following momentum indicator designed to identify strong price movements while also detecting overbought and oversold conditions in ranging markets.
By normalizing a simple moving average (SMA) with standard deviation, BMD captures momentum shifts, helping traders make data-driven entries and exits. In trending conditions, it acts as a momentum confirmation tool, while in ranging markets, it highlights mean-reversion opportunities for profit-taking or re-accumulation.
BMD combines the best of both worlds—a robust trend-following framework with an integrated volatility-based overbought/oversold detection system.

____
📊 How It Works
1️⃣ Normalized Momentum Calculation
BMD computes a normalized momentum score using a simple moving average (SMA) combined with a standard deviation (SD) filter to create dynamic upper and lower bands. The final momentum score is derived by normalizing the price within this volatility-adjusted range. This normalization makes momentum readings comparable across different price levels and timeframes.
2️⃣ Standard Deviation Filtering
Unlike traditional approaches where standard deviation is derived from price as is the first SD, BMDs second SD is driven from the normalized momentum oscillator itself. This allows for a volatility-adjusted smoothing mechanism that adapts to momentum shifts rather than raw price fluctuations. This ensures that the trend signals remain dynamic and responsive, filtering out short-term noise while keeping the core momentum structure intact. By applying standard deviation directly to the oscillator, BMD achieves a self-regulating feedback loop, improving accuracy in both trending and range-bound conditions.
3️⃣ Signal Generation
✅ Long Signal → Upper BMD SD > Long Threshold (83)
❌ Short Signal → Lower BMD SD < Short Threshold (60)
📌 Additional Features:
- Overbought Zone → Values above 130 indicate price extension.

Multi-Timeframe Technical IndicatorThis Multi-Timeframe Technical Indicator is designed for use in financial markets to assist traders in evaluating various key technical indicators across multiple timeframes. The indicator displays a table that includes the values of Moving Averages (MA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Momentum, and VWAP for a range of timeframes, allowing for the evaluation of trends in real-time.
Key Features:
Multiple Timeframes: The indicator supports timeframes ranging from as low as 1 minute up to 1 month. By tracking indicators on multiple timeframes, traders can make better-informed decisions based on trends across different periods (e.g., short-term vs. long-term trends).
Technical Indicators:
Moving Average (MA): The MA provides insight into the trend direction of the asset's price. It can be configured as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or Weighted Moving Average (WMA).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI values below 50 suggest an upward trend, while values above 50 indicate a downward trend.
Momentum: Measures the rate of change of an asset's price, highlighting whether the price is increasing or decreasing.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): Reflects the average price of the asset weighted by its trading volume. Traders use this value to gauge the fair value of an asset.
Trend Indicators: The table dynamically displays trend arrows (↑ or ↓) based on the comparison of each indicator's value to the previous timeframe’s value. This allows users to identify the prevailing market sentiment or trend at a glance.
Visualization: The data is presented in an easy-to-read table format, where each value is accompanied by color-coded indicators (e.g., green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends). This provides a clear and visually accessible way to interpret complex market conditions.
Use Cases:
Day Trading: Helps day traders assess the momentum and strength of a price move on short-term timeframes like 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Swing Trading: Provides insights into medium-term trends using 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily data points.
Long-Term Analysis: Useful for traders and investors looking to gauge the overall health of an asset over weeks or months, analyzing the 1-week and 1-month indicators.
Limitations and Risks:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to remember that the Multi-Timeframe Technical Indicator is not foolproof. While technical analysis offers valuable insights, it does not guarantee success and can lead to losses. Traders should always use a combination of different methods (technical and fundamental) and consult with financial advisors before making trading decisions.
The indicator operates as a tool for analysis but should not be the sole basis for trading decisions. According to Elder (1993), no indicator is perfect, and it is crucial to combine multiple factors when assessing market conditions. Additionally, Murphy (1999) emphasized the importance of understanding the limitations of indicators, as they are based on historical price movements and may not always predict future trends accurately.

This Multi-Timeframe Technical Indicator is built to provide real-time, comprehensive data for informed decision-making, and is best used in conjunction with other analysis methods to manage risk effectively.
Simple Trend Strength & MomentumThis indicator will show a combination of Trend Strength, Volatility using an Adaptive Moving Average (AMA), and Market Momentum.
You can use this indicator to identify trends, volatility, and momentum shifts in real-time, making it an excellent tool for both trend-following and breakout strategies.
The three main features of this indicator are:
Adaptive Moving Average (AMA): Tracks the trend direction with a dynamic smoothing factor that adjusts based on market volatility. The AMA line changes color based on trend strength (green for bullish, red for bearish). I manually compute the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) using a smoothing factor derived from the market's efficiency ratio. I have used fastLength and slowLength to control the responsiveness of the AMA.
Volatility Bands: Plots upper and lower bands around the AMA line, indicating price volatility. These bands dynamically adjust based on ATR, with a color gradient that changes intensity based on market volatility.
Momentum Circles: Positive momentum (ROC above the threshold) is shown as a green circle below the bar, while negative momentum is marked by a red circle above the bar. This makes it easy to spot momentum shifts.
The green dots in the indicator represent positive momentum. Specifically, they are displayed when the Rate of Change (ROC) of the price exceeds a predefined threshold (set as threshold in the input). This indicates that the market is experiencing upward price movement at a rate faster than the defined threshold.
How it works:
Rate of Change (ROC) measures the percentage change in price over a specified period (in this case, 14 periods).
When the ROC is greater than the set threshold (1.5 by default), a green circle (dot) is plotted below the price bar to signal that there is significant positive momentum.
This can be seen as an indicator of bullish momentum, where price is increasing at a relatively fast pace compared to previous periods.
The green dots help you spot when the price is moving upward rapidly, potentially signaling a good time to enter a long position or watch for further price action.
NOTE: It is vice versa for red dots.
MAG 7 - Weighted Multi-Symbol Momentum + ExtrasOverview
This indicator aggregates the percentage change of multiple symbols into a single “weighted momentum” value. You can set individual weights to emphasize or de-emphasize particular stocks. The script plots two key items:
The default tickers in the script are:
AAPL (Apple)
AMZN (Amazon)
NVDA (NVIDIA)
MSFT (Microsoft)
GOOGL (Alphabet/Google)
TSLA (Tesla)
META (Meta Platforms/Facebook)
Raw Weighted Momentum (Histogram):
Each bar represents the combined (weighted) percentage change across your chosen symbols for that bar.
Bars are colored green if the momentum is above zero, or red if below zero.
Smoothed Momentum (Yellow Line):
An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the raw momentum for a smoother trend view.
Helps visualize when short-term momentum is accelerating or decelerating relative to its average.
Features
Symbol Inputs: Up to seven user-defined tickers, with weights for each symbol.
Smoothing Period: Set a custom lookback length to calculate the EMA (or switch to SMA in the code if you prefer).
Table Display: A built-in table in the top-right corner lists each symbol’s real-time percentage change, plus the total weighted momentum.
Alerts:
Configure alerts for when the weighted momentum crosses above or below user-defined thresholds.
Helps you catch major shifts in sentiment across multiple symbols.
How To Use
Select Symbols & Weights: In the indicator’s settings, specify the tickers you want to monitor and their corresponding weights. Weights default to 1 (equal weighting).
Watch the Bars vs. Zero:
Bars above zero mean a positive weighted momentum (the basket is collectively moving up).
Bars below zero mean negative weighted momentum (the basket is collectively under pressure).
Check the Yellow Line: The EMA of momentum.
If the bars consistently stay above the line, short-term momentum is stronger than its recent average.
If the bars dip below the line, momentum is weakening relative to its average.
Review the Table: Quick snapshot of each symbol’s daily percentage change plus the total basket momentum, all color-coded red or green.
Caution & Tips
This indicator measures rate of change, not absolute price levels. A rising momentum can still be part of a larger downtrend.
Always combine momentum readings with other technical and/or fundamental signals for confirmation.
For better reliability, experiment with different smoothing lengths to suit your trading style (shorter for scalping, longer for swing or positional approaches).
Multi-Feature IndicatorThe Multi-Feature Indicator combines three popular technical analysis tools — RSI, Moving Averages (MA), and MACD — into a single indicator to provide unified buy and sell signals. This script is designed for traders who want to filter out noise and focus on signals confirmed by multiple criteria.
Features:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Measures momentum and identifies overbought (70) and oversold (30) conditions.
A signal is triggered when RSI crosses these thresholds.
Moving Averages (MA):
Uses a short-term moving average (default: 9 periods) and a long-term moving average (default: 21 periods).
Buy signals occur when the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals occur when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA, indicating a downtrend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of an asset's price.
Signals are based on the crossover of the MACD line and its signal line.
Unified Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when:
RSI crosses above 30 (leaving oversold territory).
Short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA.
MACD line crosses above the signal line.
Sell Signal: Triggered when:
RSI crosses below 70 (leaving overbought territory).
Short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA.
MACD line crosses below the signal line.
Visualization:
The indicator plots the short-term and long-term moving averages on the price chart.
Green "BUY" labels appear below price bars when all buy conditions are met.
Red "SELL" labels appear above price bars when all sell conditions are met.
Parameters:
RSI Length: Default is 14. This controls the sensitivity of the RSI.
Short MA Length: Default is 9. This determines the short-term trend.
Long MA Length: Default is 21. This determines the long-term trend.
Use Case:
The Multi-Feature Indicator is ideal for traders seeking higher confirmation before entering or exiting trades. By combining momentum (RSI), trend (MA), and momentum shifts (MACD), it reduces false signals and enhances decision-making.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to your chart in TradingView.
Look for "BUY" or "SELL" signals, which appear when all conditions align.
Use this tool in conjunction with other analysis techniques for best results.
Note:
The default settings are suitable for many assets, but you may need to adjust them for different timeframes or market conditions.
This indicator is meant to assist in trading decisions and should not be used as the sole basis for trading.
NASI +The NASI + indicator is an advanced adaptation of the classic McClellan Oscillator, a tool widely used to gauge market breadth. It calculates the McClellan Oscillator by measuring the difference between the 19-day and 39-day EMAs of net advancing issues, which are optionally adjusted to account for the relative strength of advancing vs. declining stocks.
To enhance this analysis, NASI + applies the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the cumulative McClellan Oscillator values, generating a unique momentum-based view of market breadth. Additionally, two extra EMAs—a 10-day and a 4-day EMA—are applied to the RSI, providing further refinement to signals for overbought and oversold conditions.
With NASI +, users benefit from:
-A deeper analysis of market momentum through cumulative breadth data.
-Enhanced sensitivity to trend shifts with the applied RSI and dual EMAs.
-Clear visual cues for overbought and oversold conditions, aiding in intuitive signal identification.
DeNoised Momentum [OmegaTools]The DeNoised Momentum by OmegaTools is a versatile tool designed to help traders evaluate momentum, acceleration, and noise-reduction levels in price movements. Using advanced mathematical smoothing techniques, this script provides a "de-noised" view of momentum by applying filters to reduce market noise. This helps traders gain insights into the strength and direction of price trends without the distractions of market volatility. Key components include a DeNoised Moving Average (MA), a Momentum line, and Acceleration bars to identify trend shifts more clearly.
Features:
- Momentum Line: Measures the percentage change of the de-noised source price over a specified look-back period, providing insights into trend direction.
- Acceleration (Ret) Bars: Visualizes the rate of change of the source price, helping traders identify momentum shifts.
- Normal and DeNoised Moving Averages: Two moving averages, one based on close price (Normal MA) and the other on de-noised data (DeNoised MA), enable a comparison of smoothed trends versus typical price movements.
- DeNoised Price Data Plot: Displays the current de-noised price, color-coded to indicate the relationship between the Normal and DeNoised MAs, which highlights bullish or bearish conditions.
Script Inputs:
- Length (lnt): Sets the period for calculations (default: 21). It influences the sensitivity of the momentum and moving averages. Higher values will smooth the indicator further, while lower values increase sensitivity to price changes.
The Length does not change the formula of the DeNoised Price Data, it only affects the indicators calculated on it.
Indicator Components:
1. Momentum (Blue/Red Line):
- Calculated using the log of the percentage change over the specified period.
- Blue color indicates positive momentum; red indicates negative momentum.
2. Acceleration (Gray Columns):
- Measures the short-term rate of change in momentum, shown as semi-transparent gray columns.
3. Moving Averages:
- Normal MA (Purple): A standard simple moving average (SMA) based on the close price over the selected period.
- DeNoised MA (Gray): An SMA of the de-noised source, reducing the effect of market noise.
4. DeNoised Price Data:
- Represented as colored circles, with blue indicating that the Normal MA is above the DeNoised MA (bullish) and red indicating the opposite (bearish).
Usage Guide:
1. Trend Identification:
- Use the Momentum line to assess overall trend direction. Positive values indicate upward momentum, while negative values signal downward momentum.
- Compare the Normal and DeNoised MAs: when the Normal MA is above the DeNoised MA, it indicates a bullish trend, and vice versa for bearish trends.
2. Entry and Exit Signals:
- A change in the Momentum line's color from blue to red (or vice versa) may indicate potential entry or exit points.
- Observe the DeNoised Price Data circles for early signs of a trend reversal based on the interaction between the Normal and DeNoised MAs.
3. Volatility and Noise Reduction:
- By utilizing the DeNoised MA and de-noised price data, this indicator helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on larger price movements, improving decision-making in volatile markets.
Burst PowerThe Burst Power indicator is to be used for Indian markets where most stocks have a maximum price band limit of 20%.
This indicator is intended to identify stocks with high potential for significant price movements. By analysing historical price action over a user-defined lookback period, it calculates a Burst Power score that reflects the stock's propensity for rapid and substantial moves. This can be helpful for stock selection in strategies involving momentum bursts, swing trading, or identifying stocks with explosive potential.
Key Components
____________________
Significant Move Counts:
5% Moves: Counts the number of days within the lookback period where the stock had a positive close-to-close move between 5% and 10%.
10% Moves: Counts the number of days with a positive close-to-close move between 10% and 19%.
19% Moves: Counts the number of days with a positive close-to-close move of 19% or more.
Maximum Price Move (%):
Identifies the largest positive close-to-close percentage move within the lookback period, along with the date it occurred.
Burst Power Score:
A composite score calculated using the counts of significant moves: Burst Power =(Count5%/5) +(Count10%/2) + (Count19%/0.5)
The score is then rounded to the nearest whole number.
A higher Burst Power score indicates a higher frequency of significant price bursts.
Visual Indicators:
Table Display: Presents all the calculated data in a customisable table on the chart.
Markers on Chart: Plots markers on the chart where significant moves occurred, aiding visual analysis.
Using the Lookback Period
____________________________
The lookback period determines how much historical data the indicator analyses. Users can select from predefined options:
3 Months
6 Months
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
A shorter lookback period focuses on recent price action, which may be more relevant for short-term trading strategies. A longer lookback period provides a broader historical context, useful for identifying long-term patterns and behaviors.
Interpreting the Burst Power Score
__________________________________
High Burst Power Score (≥15):
Indicates the stock frequently experiences significant price moves.
Suitable for traders seeking quick momentum bursts and swing trading opportunities.
Stocks with high scores may be more volatile but offer potential for rapid gains.
Moderate Burst Power Score (10 to 14):
Suggests occasional significant price movements.
May suit traders looking for a balance between volatility and stability.
Low Burst Power Score (<10):
Reflects fewer significant price bursts.
Stocks are more likely to exhibit longer, sustainable, but slower price trends.
May be preferred by traders focusing on steady growth or longer-term investments.
Note: Trading involves uncertainties, and the Burst Power score should be considered as one of many factors in a comprehensive trading strategy. It is essential to incorporate broader market analysis and risk management practices.
Customisation Options
_________________________
The indicator offers several customisation settings to tailor the display and functionality to individual preferences:
Display Mode:
Full Mode: Shows the detailed table with all components, including significant move counts, maximum price move, and the Burst Power score.
Mini Mode: Displays only the Burst Power score and its corresponding indicator (green, orange, or red circle).
Show Latest Date Column:
Toggle the display of the "Latest Date" column in the table, which shows the most recent occurrence of each significant move category.
Theme (Dark Mode):
Switch between Dark Mode and Light Mode for better visual integration with your chart's color scheme.
Table Position and Size:
Position: Place the table at various locations on the chart (top, middle, bottom; left, center, right).
Size: Adjust the table's text size (tiny, small, normal, large, huge, auto) for optimal readability.
Header Size: Customise the font size of the table headers (Small, Medium, Large).
Color Settings:
Disable Colors in Table: Option to display the table without background colors, which can be useful for printing or if colors are distracting.
Bullish Closing Filter:
Another customisation here is to count a move only when the closing for the day is strong. For this, we have an additional filter to see if close is within the chosen % of the range of the day. Closing within the top 1/3, for instance, indicates a way more bullish day tha, say, closing within the bottom 25%.
Move Markers on chart:
The indicator also marks out days with significant moves. You can choose to hide or show the markers on the candles/bars.
Practical Applications
________________________
Momentum Trading: High Burst Power scores can help identify stocks that are likely to experience rapid price movements, suitable for momentum traders.
Swing Trading: Traders looking for short- to medium-term opportunities may focus on stocks with moderate to high Burst Power scores.
Positional Trading: Lower Burst Power scores may indicate steadier stocks that are less prone to volatility, aligning with long-term investment strategies.
Risk Management: Understanding a stock's propensity for significant moves can aid in setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Disclaimer: Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. The Burst Power indicator is intended for educational purposes and should not be construed as financial advice. Always conduct thorough research and consult with a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.
Price-Shift Oscillator (PSO)The PSOscillator calculates an oscillator value based on price movements over a specific period. Oscillators like this one are typically used to identify momentum shifts, and trend direction. Here's a breakdown of how the logic behind it works:
Key Concepts for Beginners:
Oscillators:
In this case, the PSOscillator helps indicate whether the market momentum is positive (price might rise) or negative (price might fall).
Input Parameters:
oscPeriod: This is the number of bars (or candles) used to calculate the oscillator. It affects how sensitive the oscillator is to price changes. A lower period makes it more sensitive to short-term movements, while a higher period smoothens it out.
smaPeriod: This is a simple moving average (SMA) applied to the oscillator for additional smoothing, further reducing noise.
Calculation Logic:
The JpOscillator uses recent price data to calculate its value. Specifically, it looks at the closing prices of the current and previous bars (candles). periods ago).
This calculation aims to identify how much recent price action is deviating from past price behavior.
Essentially, it tells us whether the current price is higher or lower relative to the past, and how the trend is evolving over recent periods.
Smoothing:
After calculating the oscillator values, we apply optional smoothing to make it less "jumpy." This is useful in reducing the noise caused by small, insignificant price movements.
The sma_from_array function averages out the recent oscillator values to make the signal smoother, depending on the oscPeriod.
Oscillator Levels:
Above Zero:
If the oscillator is above 0, it means the price is gaining momentum upwards (bullish signal), which is why we color the histogram green.
Below Zero: If the oscillator is below 0, it indicates downward momentum (bearish signal), which is why we color the histogram red.
You can think of the zero line as a "neutral zone." Crossing above it means momentum is shifting to the upside, and crossing below it means momentum is shifting to the downside.
Histogram Plotting:
The values of the oscillator are plotted as a histogram (bars). The color changes based on whether the oscillator is above or below zero (green for positive and red for negative momentum).
The moving average (SMA) of the oscillator is plotted as a line to help identify trends over time.
Using two different coloring methods for a histogram in a trading strategy can provide a trader with distinct, layered information about market conditions, trends, and momentum shifts. Each coloring method can highlight different aspects of the price action or the oscillator behavior. Here’s how a trader might use both methods to their advantage:
ETHUSDT Daily
1. Color Based on Oscillator Position Relative to Zero
This method colors the histogram green when the oscillator value is above zero and red when it's below zero. This coloring strategy is straightforward and helps a trader quickly identify whether the market's momentum is generally bullish or bearish.
Advantages:
Trend Confirmation: When the oscillator remains above zero and green, it can confirm a bullish trend, and vice versa for a bearish trend with red colors below zero.
Quick Visual Reference: Easy to see at a glance, helping in fast decision-making processes.
2. Color Based on the Change of the Oscillator
This method changes the color based on whether the oscillator is increasing or decreasing compared to its previous value. For instance, a darker shade of green might be used if the oscillator value is rising from one period to the next, indicating increasing bullish momentum, and a darker red if declining, indicating increasing bearish momentum.
Advantages:
Momentum Insight: This coloring method gives insights into the strength of the movement. An oscillator that is increasing (even below zero) might suggest a weakening of a bearish trend or the start of a bullish reversal.
Detecting Reversals: Seeing the oscillator rise from negative to less negative or drop from positive to less positive can alert traders to potential early reversals before they cross the zero line.
Strategic Use in Trading:
A trader can use these two methods together by applying a multi-layered approach to analyze the oscillator:
Overall Trend Assessment:
Above Zero (Green): Considered bullish; look for buy opportunities, especially if the color gets brighter (indicating strengthening).
Below Zero (Red): Considered bearish; look for sell opportunities, especially if the color gets darker (indicating strengthening).
Short-Term Momentum and Entries:
Brightening Green: Could indicate a good time to enter or add to long positions as bullish momentum increases.
Darkening Red: Could indicate a good time to enter or add to short positions as bearish momentum increases.
Lightening Color: If red starts to lighten (become less intense), it might suggest a bearish trend is losing steam, which could be an exit signal for shorts or an early warning for a potential long setup.
Risk Management:
Switch in Color Intensity: A sudden change in color intensity can be used as a trigger for tightening stops or taking partial profits, helping manage risk by responding to changes in market momentum.
Market Momentum @MaxMaseratiThe Market Momentum Indicator plots two essential lines on your chart: the Momentum Line and the Momentum Signal, enabling you to visualize price direction and detect potential shifts in that direction.
Momentum Line:
The Momentum Line is calculated by finding the highest and lowest prices over the last 14 periods and then determining the midpoint between them. This midpoint is what we call the Momentum Line.
Momentum Signal:
The Momentum Signal is simply the Momentum Line shifted upward by a small fixed amount called the tick_size, which is set to 0.25 in this script.
Why 0.25?: The 0.25 tick size is a standard increment in many markets. It creates a small but noticeable difference between the Momentum Line and the Momentum Signal, making it easier to spot changes in market momentum. It’s small enough to reflect minor shifts without distorting the indicator’s usefulness.
NB: The indicator was originally created to be use without smoothing, but I add it as an option for smoothing and moving average lovers.
Smoothing:
You have the option to smooth these lines using different types of moving averages, like SMA or EMA. Smoothing makes the lines less jagged and more gradual.
If you apply smoothing, the Momentum Line and Momentum Signal might cross each other depending on the market’s movement.
How to use it:
When both lines are below price, it might indicates a Bullish Momentum
When both lines are above the price, it could suggest a Bearish Momentum.
When the lines are within the price range, it indicates the market is in a consolidation phase, signaling the potential for a move in either direction.
snapshot
Users can view Momentum Line and Momentum Signal for two specific time frames of their choice. Additionally, they have the option to smooth the lines separately for each time frame. For example, if "TF1" is set to 15 minutes and the current chart time frame is 5 minutes, the table will display "TF1: 15" alongside "Current TF: 5." Another option, "TF2," could be set to 60 minutes. Both time frames will be plotted on the chart if selected.
This indicator can be use as a supporting tool alongside your chosen strategy. It’s not designed to be used on its own and should be part of a broader confluence approach.
KASPA Slope OscillatorKASPA Slope Oscillator for analyzing KASPA on the 1D (daily) chart.
The indicator is plotted in a separate pane below the price chart and uses a mathematical approach to calculate and visualize the momentum or "slope" of KASPA's price movements.
Input Parameters:
Slope Window (days):
Defines the period (66 days by default) over which the slope is calculated.
Normalization Window (days):
The window size (85 days) for normalizing the slope values between 0 and 100.
Smoothing Period:
The number of days (15 days) over which the slope values are smoothed to reduce noise.
Overbought and Oversold Levels:
Threshold levels set at 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold), respectively.
Calculation of the Slope:
Logarithmic Price Calculation:
Converts the close price of KASPA into a logarithmic scale to account for exponential growth or decay.
Rolling Slope:
Computes the rate of change in logarithmic prices over the defined slope window.
Normalization:
The slope is normalized between 0 and 100, allowing easier identification of extreme values.
Smoothing and Visualization:
Smoothing the Slope:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to the normalized slope for the specified smoothing period.
Plotting the Oscillator:
The smoothed slope is plotted on the oscillator chart. Horizontal lines indicate overbought (80), oversold (20), and the mid-level (50).
Background Color Indications:
Background colors (red or green) indicate when the slope crosses above the overbought or below the oversold levels, respectively, signaling potential buy or sell conditions.
Detection of Local Maxima and Minima:
The code identifies local peaks (maxima) above the overbought level and troughs (minima) below the oversold level.
Vertical background lines are highlighted in red or green at these points, signaling potential reversals.
Short Summary:
The oscillator line fluctuates between 0 and 100, representing the normalized momentum of the price.
Red background areas indicate periods when the oscillator is above the overbought level (80), suggesting a potential overbought condition or a sell signal.
Green background areas indicate periods when the oscillator is below the oversold level (20), suggesting a potential oversold condition or a buy signal.
The vertical lines on the background mark local maxima and minima where price reversals may occur.

NEXT Volatility-Momentum Moving Average (VolMo MA)Overview
Volatility-Momentum Moving Average (VolMo MA) incorporates two key market dynamics into its price averaging formula: volatility and momentum. Traditional MAs, like EMA, often lag in volatile markets or during strong price moves. By integrating volatility (price range variability) and momentum (rate of price change), we developed a more adaptive and responsive MA.
Key Concepts
Volatility Calculation: Average True Range (ATR) used to quantify market volatility. ATR measures the average price range over a specified period.
Momentum Calculation: Relative Strength Index (RSI) applied to assess market momentum. RSI evaluates the speed and magnitude of price movements.
Moving Average Adjustment: Dynamically weight EMA based on volatility and momentum metrics. When volatility is high, the MA's responsiveness increases. Similarly, strong momentum accelerates the MA adjustment.
Input Parameters:
Length - length of Volatility-Momentum Moving Average (VolMo MA). This input also affects how far back momentum and volatility are considered. Experimentation is highly encouraged.
Sensitivity - controls the Volatility-Momentum adjustment rate applied to the MA. Default is 50, but experimentation is highly encouraged.
Source - data used for calculating the MA, typically Close, but can be used with other price formats and data sources as well. A lot of potential here.
Note: The VolMo MA Indicator plots, both, the Volatility-Momentum Moving Average and EMA for base comparison. You can disable EMA by unticking it under Style tab.
NASDAQ 100 Futures ( CME_MINI:NQ1! ) 1-minute
The following example compares VolMo MA (blue) to EMA (green). Length set to 34, Sensitivity to 40. Notice the difference in responsiveness as price action consolidates and breaks out. The VolMo MA can be used for scalping at lower Length values and 40-60 Sensitivity or as a dynamic support/resistance line at higher Length values.
Alerts
Here is how to set price crossing VolMo MA alerts: open a TradingView chart, attach NEXT NEXT Volatility-Momentum Moving Average (VolMo MA), right-click on chart -> Add Alert. Condition: Symbol (e.g. NQ) >> Crossing >> NEXT Volatility-Momentum Moving Average (VolMo MA) >> VolMo MA >> Once Per Bar Close.
Development Roadmap
Our initial research shows plenty of edge potential for the VolMo MA when used, both, by itself, or interacting with other indicators. To that end, we'll be adding the following features over the next few months:
Visual signal generation via interaction with EMA, price action, and other MAs and indicators - you can already do alerts with TradingView's built-in Alert functionality
Addition of a second, fully configurable VolMo MA for a Double VolMo MA cross strategy

The indicator allows traders to compare price trends when trading altcoins between USD pairs, BTC pairs and the BTC/USDT pair. This is achieved by representing price trends in easy-to-consume trend bars, allowing traders to get as much information as possible in a quick glance. The indicator also includes RSI which is also a useful component in identifying trend and momentum. The RSI component includes a custom RSI divergence detection algorithm to assist traders in identifying changes in trend direction. By providing both Price Trend comparison and RSI components, a full picture is provided when determining trend and momentum of an asset without having to switch between trading pairs. This makes it particularly useful for the beginner to intermediate trader.
The indicator is split into three components:
RSI
The RSI is colour-coded to identify the RSI trend based on when it crosses an EMA. Green indicates that the RSI is in a bullish trend, red indicates a bearish trend and orange indicates a transition between trends. RSI regular divergences are detected using a custom algorithm built from the ground up. The algorithm uses a combination of ATR and candle structure to determine highs and lows for both price action and RSI. Based on this information, divergences are determined making sure to exclude any invalid divergences crossing over highs and lows for both price action and RSI.
Asset Price Trend Bar
The asset price trend is detected using a cross over of a fast EMA (length 8) and slow EMA (length 21) and is displayed as a trend bar (First bar in the indicator). There are additional customised confirmation and invalidation algorithms included to ensure that trends don't switch back and forth too easily if the EMAs cross due to deeper corrections. These algorithms largely use candle structure and momentum to determine if trends should be confirmed or invalidated. For price trends, green represents a bullish trend, red represents a bearish trend and orange can be interpreted as a trend transition, or a period of choppy price action.
BTC Price Trend Bars
When Altcoins are selected, a BTC pair trend bar (Second bar in the indicator) as well as a BTCUSDT trend bar (Third bar in the indicator) is displayed. The algorithm to determine these trends is based on exactly the same logic as the asset price trend. The same colour coding applies to these price trend bars.
Why are these components combined into a single indicator?
There are two primary reasons for this.
1. The colour coded schema employed across both RSI and price trends makes it user-friendly for the beginner to intermediate trader. It can be extremely difficult and overwhelming for a beginner to identify asset price trend, BTC relative price trends and the RSI trend. By providing these components in a single indicator it helps the user to identify these trends quickly while being able to find confluence across these trends by matching the colour coded schema employed across the indicator. For experienced traders this can be seen as convenient. For beginners it can be seen as a method to identify, and learn how to identify these trends.
2. It is not obvious, especially to beginners, the advantage of using the RSI beyond divergences and overbought/oversold when identifying trend and momentum. The trend of the RSI itself as well as it's relative % can be useful in building a picture of the overall price trend as well as the strength of that trend. The colour coded schema applied to the RSI trend makes it difficult to overlook, after which it is up to the trader to decide if this is important or not to their own strategies.
Indicator Usage
NOTE: It is important to always back test and forward test strategies before using capital. While a strategy may look like it is working in the short term, it may not be the case over varying conditions.
This indicator is intended to be used in confluence with trading strategies and ideas. As it was designed to provide easy-to-consume trend and momentum information, the usage of the indicator is based on confluence. It is up to a user to define, test and implement their own strategies based on the information provided in the indicator. The indicator aims to make this easier through the colour coded schema used across the indicator.
For example, using the asset price trend alone may indicate a good time to enter trades. However, adding further trend confluence may make the case stronger to enter the trade. If an asset price is trending up while the BTCUSDT pair is also trending up, it may add strength to the case that it may be a good time to enter long positions. Similarly, extra confluence may be added by looking at RSI, either at divergences, trend or the current RSI % level.
Adaptive Fisherized Z-scoreHello Fellas,
It's time for a new adaptive fisherized indicator of me, where I apply adaptive length and more on a classic indicator.
Today, I chose the Z-score, also called standard score, as indicator of interest.
Special Features
Advanced Smoothing: JMA, T3, Hann Window and Super Smoother
Adaptive Length Algorithms: In-Phase Quadrature, Homodyne Discriminator, Median and Hilbert Transform
Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT)
Signals: Enter Long, Enter Short, Exit Long and Exit Short
Bar Coloring: Presents the trade state as bar colors
Band Levels: Changes the band levels
Decision Making
When you create such a mod you need to think about which concepts are the best to conclude. I decided to take Inverse Fisher Transform instead of normalization to make a version which fits to a fixed scale to avoid the usual distortion created by normalization.
Moreover, I chose JMA, T3, Hann Window and Super Smoother, because JMA and T3 are the bleeding-edge MA's at the moment with the best balance of lag and responsiveness. Additionally, I chose Hann Window and Super Smoother because of their extraordinary smoothing capabilities and because Ehlers favours them.
Furthermore, I decided to choose the half length of the dominant cycle instead of the full dominant cycle to make the indicator more responsive which is very important for a signal emitter like Z-score. Signal emitters always need to be faster or have the same speed as the filters they are combined with.
Usage
The Z-score is a low timeframe scalper which works best during choppy/ranging phases. The direction you should trade is determined by the last trend change. E.g. when the last trend change was from bearish market to bullish market and you are now in a choppy/ranging phase confirmed by e.g. Chop Zone or KAMA slope you want to do long trades.
Interpretation
The Z-score indicator is a momentum indicator which shows the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (price/source) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Easily explained, it is almost the same as Bollinger Bands with another visual representation form.
Signals
B -> Buy -> Z-score crosses above lower band
S -> Short -> Z-score crosses below upper band
BE -> Buy Exit -> Z-score crosses above 0
SE -> Sell Exit -> Z-score crosses below 0
If you were reading till here, thank you already. Now, follows a bunch of knowledge for people who don't know the concepts I talk about.
T3
The T3 moving average, short for "Tim Tillson's Triple Exponential Moving Average," is a technical indicator used in financial markets and technical analysis to smooth out price data over a specific period. It was developed by Tim Tillson, a software project manager at Hewlett-Packard, with expertise in Mathematics and Computer Science.
The T3 moving average is an enhancement of the traditional Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and aims to overcome some of its limitations. The primary goal of the T3 moving average is to provide a smoother representation of price trends while minimizing lag compared to other moving averages like Simple Moving Average (SMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), or EMA.
To compute the T3 moving average, it involves a triple smoothing process using exponential moving averages. Here's how it works:
Calculate the first exponential moving average (EMA1) of the price data over a specific period 'n.'
Calculate the second exponential moving average (EMA2) of EMA1 using the same period 'n.'
Calculate the third exponential moving average (EMA3) of EMA2 using the same period 'n.'
The formula for the T3 moving average is as follows:
T3 = 3 * (EMA1) - 3 * (EMA2) + (EMA3)
By applying this triple smoothing process, the T3 moving average is intended to offer reduced noise and improved responsiveness to price trends. It achieves this by incorporating multiple time frames of the exponential moving averages, resulting in a more accurate representation of the underlying price action.
JMA
The Jurik Moving Average (JMA) is a technical indicator used in trading to predict price direction. Developed by Mark Jurik, it’s a type of weighted moving average that gives more weight to recent market data rather than past historical data.
JMA is known for its superior noise elimination. It’s a causal, nonlinear, and adaptive filter, meaning it responds to changes in price action without introducing unnecessary lag. This makes JMA a world-class moving average that tracks and smooths price charts or any market-related time series with surprising agility.
In comparison to other moving averages, such as the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), JMA is known to track fast price movement more accurately. This allows traders to apply their strategies to a more accurate picture of price action.
Inverse Fisher Transform
The Inverse Fisher Transform is a transform used in DSP to alter the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of a signal or in our case of indicators.
The result of using the Inverse Fisher Transform is that the output has a very high probability of being either +1 or –1. This bipolar probability distribution makes the Inverse Fisher Transform ideal for generating an indicator that provides clear buy and sell signals.
Hann Window
The Hann function (aka Hann Window) is named after the Austrian meteorologist Julius von Hann. It is a window function used to perform Hann smoothing.
Super Smoother
The Super Smoother uses a special mathematical process for the smoothing of data points.
The Super Smoother is a technical analysis indicator designed to be smoother and with less lag than a traditional moving average.
Adaptive Length
Length based on the dominant cycle length measured by a "dominant cycle measurement" algorithm.
Happy Trading!
Best regards,
simwai

Bulls VS Bears Momentum IndicatorBulls VS Bears Momentum Indicator
Description:
The Bulls VS Bears Momentum Indicator is a unique TradingView script designed to help traders identify potential momentum shifts in the market. This proprietary indicator uses a fixed Average True Range and a multiplier of to calculate dynamic stop levels that signal bullish or bearish momentum.
Here’s how it operates:
1. Average True Range-Based Stops: The script establishes long and short stop levels based on the half-way point of the high and low (hl2) of the current bar, adjusted by the Average True Range value. The long stop is set below hl2, while the short stop is set above. These levels adapt to market volatility, using the Average True Range to scale the distance from hl2, ensuring that the stops react sensitively to changes in price movement.
2. Directional Assessment: A directional value (dir) is determined by the relationship of the closing price to the previous stop levels. If the price closes above the previous short stop level, a bullish turn is indicated, setting the direction to 1. Conversely, if the price closes below the previous long stop level, a bearish turn is indicated, setting the direction to -1.
3. Momentum Shifts: The script flags bullish momentum when the direction changes from -1 to 1, suggesting a shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Similarly, bearish momentum is flagged when the direction changes from 1 to -1, indicating a potential shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.
4. Visual Cues and Alerts: For ease of use, the indicator plots shapes on the chart: an upward triangle below the bar for bullish momentum and a downward triangle above the bar for bearish momentum. These are color-coded green for bullish and red for bearish signals. Additionally, alert conditions are set for both bullish and bearish momentum to notify traders of potential shifts.
This indicator is intended for traders who want to capture significant shifts in momentum, potentially allowing for timely adjustments to their positions. The concept of using Average True Range-adjusted hl2 as a basis for stop levels introduces an original approach to momentum detection, diverging from traditional moving average or oscillator-based methods.
Remember that no indicator can predict market movements with absolute certainty. As with any trading tool, it's important to use the Bulls VS Bears Momentum Indicator in conjunction with a robust trading strategy and risk management protocols.
Usage Guidelines:
Ideal for mid to long-term trade setups.
Best used in trending markets to detect potential reversals.
Can be combined with other forms of analysis to confirm signals.
This script is a product of extensive market research and personal trading experience, and I am proud to offer it to the TradingView community. For any further queries or clarification on how to integrate this tool into your trading strategy, feel free to reach out.

EXOFADEEXOFADE is an incredible trading indicator designed help give traders a visual clue of price momentum by combining Linear regression calculations with volume.
Overview:
ExoFade is a unique and dynamic trading indicator designed for both beginner and professional traders. At its core, it uses a sophisticated blend of multiple linear regression analysis, incorporating price, time, and volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) to predict potential price movements. By analyzing these key factors, EXOFade offers an innovative approach to understanding market trends and identifying trade opportunities.
Why It Works:
ExoFade works by calculating a regression line that adapts to market conditions, factoring in both price trends and trading volumes. This approach provides a more nuanced view of market momentum, going beyond traditional price-only indicators. The inclusion of time as a variable offers unique insights into market dynamics, making ExoFade a valuable tool for various trading strategies.
Key Features to Look Out For:
Regression Line: The heart of ExoFade, offering visual cues about the market's direction.
ATR-Based Fade Levels: Utilizes Average True Range (ATR) to set dynamic levels that signal potential reversals or continuation. The indicator comes with three fade levels, which are described below
Alert Conditions: You can set up for alerts for when any of the fade levels have been been reached, indicating potential entry points.
What Are Fade Levels And How To Use The Enter Trades:
The exofade line always moves with price, this indicates that the current volume is moving in the same direction.
When you see the exofade start to move ahead of price. For example, in an Uptrend, if price stops making new highs and you see the exofade line continue moving up ahead of price as price stagnates, this is the first time that you should be expecting pull back or reversal. When the line starts to visibly curve, this when you want to enter the trade.
Sometimes, the exofade line will move just a little bit ahead of price, and sometimes it will move a clear distance ahead of price.
From my experience, the further ahead it moves from price without price keeping up, the higher the probability of a pullback or reversal.
The actual pullback then starts when the exofade line starts to curve, which signifies the start if the actual pullback.
Since we cannot sit and watch for when the line has either moved further ahead enough or started to curve, thats why i figured to use ATR as the best way to measure the distance the exofade line moves ahead of price and the ATR also happens to measure Volatility, which makes it a perfect match.
From forward testing this for months, i have found the pullbacks typically start when the exofade line has moved ahead of price by atleast 2 ATR's. A distance of 2 ATR and above are the ones i consider the best setups. This also marks the point for your stop loss, since 2 ATR is generally used stoploss level.
To catch and sell a pullback in an uptrend, you can set alert for one or both of these alerts
Fade Level 2 abv price - This alert will trigger once Exofade line reached 2 ATR ABOVE price (Just means it has reached 2 atr, dosent mean it has started curving yet)
Curve lvl 2 - SELL - This alert means the exofade line has started to curve at 2 ATR
To buy pullbacks in a downtrend you set the opposite alerts of the one above for curve below price
There are also same alerts for level 3 as well, which is 2.5 ATR
IMPORTANT NOTES - DONT SKIP THIS
For daily and intra-day swings - Use this on 1hr trend upwards - The exofade line much slower on higher timeframe, so when you get a curve on a high time frame, like the 4HR or Daily timeframe, those are excellent signals
For scalpers trading 1hr below - The exofade moves faster on lower timeframes, so more caution should be used with these on lower timeframes , you this with other confluences like a good momentum oscillator oversold/overbought regions StochRSI, MACD etc
EXTRA TIPS
- Since the curve forms slower on higher time frames, it means getting a curve the on daily and weekly chart can help in your trend analysis to detect early signs of potential trend reversals
-I typically pair this with my customized version of Nadaraya watsons envelope ( a free indicator on tradingview) It will further improve your entry and winrate. Biggest advantage is for setting a profit target. In a buy trade for example, you buy the curve below price and set your profit target for the top band of the nadaraya watson envelope. Very efficient for scalping
- Unique areas were you want to pay attention to the exofade is when price enters points of interest, this depending on your trading style could be a
-FVG - fair value gaps
-Order blocks
- Supply / Demand areas
-Volume profile Value area High and Value area Low
The are two scenarios i would like you to be cautious of
1. As with every indicator and strategy, i most definitely wouldn't use this during high impact news.
2. If price is trending very strongly in one direction only, such that even barely gives any decent pull backs at all. Most especially if that strong push is happening between the 4hr to Daily time frame. Do not attempt to counter those trends unless you know what you are doing. Its not advisable.
Instead i'll recommend using the Exofade to catch an entry in the direction of the trade for a continuation.
And Lastly
Since this indicator uses VOLUME data as part of its calculations. It will not work on any pairs that tradingview does not provide volume data for, like Gold. But it will work normally on Gold Futures, since that has volume data
