Cosine smoothed stochasticDescription
The "Cosine Smoothed Stochastic" indicator leverages advanced Fourier Transform techniques to smooth the traditional Stochastic Oscillator. This approach enhances the signal's reliability and reduces noise, providing traders with a more refined and actionable indicator.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a popular momentum indicator that measures the current price relative to the high-low range over a specified period. It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions, signaling potential trend reversals. By smoothing this indicator with Fourier Transform techniques, we aim to reduce false signals and improve its effectiveness.
The indicator comprises three main components:
Cosine Function: A custom function to compute the cosine of an input scaled by a frequency tuner.
Kernel Function: Utilizes the cosine function to create a smooth kernel, constrained to positive values within a specific range.
Kernel Regression and Multi Cosine: Perform kernel regression over a lookback period, with the multi cosine function summing these regressions at varying frequencies for a composite smooth signal.
Additionally, the indicator includes a volume oscillator to complement the smoothed stochastic signals, providing insights into market volume trends.
Features
Fourier Transform Smoothing: Advanced smoothing technique to reduce noise.
Volume Oscillator: Dynamic volume-based oscillator for additional market insights.
Customizable Inputs: Users can configure key parameters like regression lookback period, tuning coefficient, and smoothing length.
Visual Alerts: Buy and sell signals based on smoothed stochastic crossovers.
Usage
The indicator is designed for trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies . It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions, trend reversals, and potential entry and exit points based on smoothed stochastic values and volume trends.
Inputs
Cosine Kernel Setup:
varient: Choose between "Tuneable" and "Stepped" regression types.
lookbackR: Lookback period for regression.
tuning: Tuning coefficient for frequency adjustment.
Stochastic Calculation:
volshow: Toggle to show the volume oscillator.
emalength: Smoothing period for the Stochastic Oscillator.
lookback_period, m1, m2: Parameters for the Stochastic Oscillator lookback and moving averages.
How It Works
Stochastic Oscillator:
Computes the stochastic %K and smoothes it with an EMA.
Further smoothes %K using the multi cosine function.
Volume Oscillator:
Calculates short and long EMAs of volume and derives the oscillator as the percentage difference.
Plots volume oscillator columns with dynamic coloring based on the oscillator's value and change.
Visual Representation:
Plots smoothed stochastic lines with colors indicating bullish, bearish, overbought, and oversold conditions.
Uses plotchar to mark crossovers between current and previous values of d.
Displays overbought and oversold levels with filled regions between them.
Chart Example
To understand the indicator better, refer to the clean and annotated chart provided. The script is used without additional scripts to maintain clarity. The chart includes:
Smoothed Stochastic Lines: Colored according to trend conditions.
Volume Oscillator: Plotted as columns for visual volume trend analysis.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Clearly marked levels with filled regions between them.
Alert Conditions
The indicator sets up alerts for buy and sell signals when the smoothed stochastic crosses over or under its previous value. These alerts can be used for automated trading systems or manual trading signals.
breakthrough of the indicators method :
Initialization and Inputs:
The indicator starts by defining necessary inputs, such as the lookback period for regression, tuning coefficient, and smoothing parameters for the Stochastic Oscillator and volume oscillator.
Cosine Function and Kernel Creation:
The cosine function is defined to compute the cosine of an input scaled by a frequency tuner.
The kernel function utilizes this cosine function to create a smoothing kernel, which is constrained to positive values within a specific range.
Kernel Regression:
The kernel regression function iterates over the lookback period, calculating weighted sums of the source values using the kernel function. This produces a smoothed value by dividing the accumulated weighted values by the total weights.
Multi Cosine Smoothing:
The multi cosine function combines multiple kernel regressions at different frequencies, summing these results and averaging them to achieve a composite smoothed value.
Stochastic Calculation and Smoothing:
The traditional Stochastic Oscillator is calculated, and its %K value is smoothed using an EMA.
The smoothed %K is further refined using the multi cosine function, resulting in a more reliable and less noisy signal.
Volume Oscillator Calculation:
The volume oscillator calculates short and long EMAs of the volume and derives the oscillator as the percentage difference between these EMAs. The result is plotted with dynamic coloring to indicate volume trends.
Plotting and Alerts:
The indicator plots the smoothed stochastic lines , overbought/oversold levels, and volume oscillator on the chart.
Buy and sell alerts are set up based on crossovers of the smoothed stochastic values, providing traders with actionable signals.

Dual Stochastic with Trend FilterThe "Dual Stochastic with Trend Filter" is an oscillator indicator designed to provide clearer, trend-aligned trading signals. It uses two distinct stochastic oscillators to identify potential entry points and incorporates an optional EMA-based trend filter to ensure that you are trading in the direction of the broader market momentum.
How It Works and How to Use It
This indicator combines two key technical analysis concepts: momentum (via stochastics) and trend (via moving averages).
Core Components:
Dual Stochastic Oscillators:
Signal Line 1 (Blue): A standard stochastic oscillator.
Signal Line 2 (Red): A second stochastic oscillator, often using a different source (like hlcc4) to provide a smoother, more reliable signal.
A buy signal is generated when the Blue Line (d1) crosses above the Red Line (d2).
A sell signal is generated when the Blue Line (d1) crosses below the Red Line (d2).
Trend Filter (Optional):
This feature uses a fast and a slow Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to determine the overall market trend.
When the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, the background will turn green, indicating an uptrend.
When the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, the background will turn red, indicating a downtrend.
This filter can be toggled on or off in the indicator settings.
How to Use:
With Trend Filter Enabled (Recommended):
Long (Buy) Entry: Look for a green triangle buy signal (▲). This signal only appears when:
The Blue Signal Line crosses above the Red Signal Line.
The market is in a confirmed uptrend (green background).
Short (Sell) Entry: Look for a red triangle sell signal (▼). This signal only appears when:
The Blue Signal Line crosses below the Red Signal Line.
The market is in a confirmed downtrend (red background).
Exit Signal:
A yellow circle (●) appears to suggest closing an open trade. This signal is triggered for a long position if either the stochastics have a bearish cross or the trend flips to a downtrend. Conversely, for a short position, it's triggered by a bullish stochastic cross or a trend flip to an uptrend.
With Trend Filter Disabled:
If you turn off the "Use Trend Filter" option, the indicator will function as a simple dual stochastic crossover system.
A green triangle (▲) will appear every time the Blue Line crosses above the Red Line.
A red triangle (▼) will appear every time the Blue Line crosses below the Red Line.
The background coloring and exit signals based on trend flips will be deactivated. This mode is more sensitive but may produce more false signals in choppy markets.
Key Visuals:
Blue Line: The primary signal line.
Red Line: The secondary, often smoother, signal line.
Green Triangle (▲): Bullish entry signal.
Red Triangle (▼): Bearish entry signal.
Yellow Circle (●): Suggested trade exit/stop.
Green/Red Background: Visual confirmation of the current uptrend or downtrend.
By filtering stochastic signals with the dominant trend, this indicator helps traders avoid common pitfalls like entering short positions during a strong uptrend or buying into a bearish market. This alignment of momentum and trend is key to improving signal quality.

- Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
- True Strength Index (TSI)
- Money Flow Index (MFI)
- Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Stochastic RSI

Note : this list of available oscillators may be added to or altered at a later date.
The indicator includes the following features:
- Ability to select any of the above oscillators
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime .
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur.
- Configurable pivot lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes, including the ability to enable automatic adjustment of pivot period per chart timeframe.

- Optional adjustable range bands.
- Automatic adjustment of line colours, centerlines and range band levels on a per oscillator basis by default.
- Ability to customise the colours of each of the oscillators.
What is the Ultimate Oscillator ( UO )?
“The Ultimate Oscillator indicator (UO) indicator is a technical analysis tool used to measure momentum across three varying timeframes. The problem with many momentum oscillators is that after a rapid advance or decline in price, they can form false divergence trading signals. For example, after a rapid rise in price, a bearish divergence signal may present itself, however price continues to rise. The ultimate Oscillator attempts to correct this by using multiple timeframes in its calculation as opposed to just one timeframe which is what is used in most other momentum oscillators.”
What is the True Strength Index ( TSI )?
"The true strength index (TSI) is a technical momentum oscillator used to identify trends and reversals. The indicator may be useful for determining overbought and oversold conditions, indicating potential trend direction changes via centerline or signal line crossovers, and warning of trend weakness through divergence."
What is the Money Flow Index ( MFI )?
“The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100. Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .”
What is the Relative Strength Index ( RSI )?
"The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security. The RSI can do more than point to overbought and oversold securities. It can also indicate securities that may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought situation. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition. It is also commonly used to identify divergences."
What is the Stochastic RSI (StochRSI)?
"The Stochastic RSI (StochRSI) is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms) and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index (RSI) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. The StochRSI oscillator was developed to take advantage of both momentum indicators in order to create a more sensitive indicator that is attuned to a specific security's historical performance rather than a generalized analysis of price change."
What Is Time Segmented Volume?
"Time segmented volume (TSV) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Worden Brothers Inc. that segments a stock's price and volume according to specific time intervals. The price and volume data is then compared to uncover periods of accumulation (buying) and distribution (selling)."
What is Cumulative Volume Delta ( CDV )?
"The CDV analyses the net buying at market price and net selling at market price. This means, that volume delta is measuring whether it is the buyers or sellers that are more aggressive in taking the current market price. It measures the degree of intent by buyers and sellers, which can be used to indicate who is more dominant. The CDV can be used to help identify possible trends and also divergences"
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose.
Configurable pivot periods.
You can adjust the default pivot periods to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.

FSVZO | Lyro RSFSVZO | Lyro RS
This script is a technical analysis tool called the FSVZO, or Fourier Smoothed Volume Zone Oscillator. It is designed to analyze market momentum and trend strength by combining price and volume data with advanced smoothing techniques. The goal is to help identify potential trends, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergence signals in a clear visual format.
Understanding the Indicator's Components
The indicator plots a main oscillator line and several supporting elements on a separate pane below the chart.
The Main Oscillator: This is the primary, colored wave. Its movement and color are key to interpretation.
Trend Direction: The color shifts between bullish and bearish tones based on the momentum of the oscillator. This provides a quick visual reference for the prevailing short-term trend.
Key Levels: Horizontal lines mark significant levels such as +60, +85, -60, and -85. Movements above +60 or below -60 can indicate strong momentum, while approaches to the extreme levels (+85/-85) may suggest overbought or oversold conditions.
Divergence Detection: The indicator can plot labels ("ℝ" for Regular, "ℍ" for Hidden) on the oscillator to signal potential divergences. These occur when the indicator's direction differs from the price action on the main chart and can sometimes foreshadow reversals or continuations.
Moving Average (MA): A central moving average line, based on the oscillator, helps to smooth out the data further and can act as a dynamic support or resistance level within the indicator pane.
White Noise Filter (Optional): This feature displays a histogram that represents market noise. It can be toggled on or off. Analyzing the histogram's behavior may provide additional context on the stability or volatility of the current trend.
Dynamic Background: The background of the indicator pane can change color to highlight periods where the momentum is particularly strong, based on the position of the moving average.
Suggested Use and Interpretation
Traders might use this indicator in several ways:
Trend Identification: Observe the color and position of the main oscillator. A predominantly bullish-colored oscillator above the zero line may suggest an upward trend, while a bearish-colored one below zero may suggest a downward trend.
Signal Confirmation: Look for the oscillator to cross key levels (like +/-40 or +/-60) in the direction of a suspected trend as a confirmation signal.
Divergence Analysis: When the price makes a new high or low that is not confirmed by a new high or low on the FSVZO oscillator (a divergence), it can be a warning of potential weakness in the trend. The "ℝ" and "ℍ" labels help to identify these scenarios.
Extreme Readings: Readings near the +85 or -85 levels can indicate that a price move may be overextended, which could precede a pause or reversal.
Customization Options
The indicator includes settings groups that allow you to adjust its behavior and appearance:
FSVZO Settings: Adjust parameters like Length and Sensitivity to make the oscillator more or less responsive to market movements.
Signals & Display: Modify visual aspects such as Smooth Length and Glowing Amount, or toggle features like the dynamic background on and off.
Colors: Choose from several pre-set color palettes to suit your visual preferences.

Congestion Index by KatsanosCONGESTION INDEX
Market movements can be characterized by two distinct types or phases. In the first, the market shows trending movements which have a directional bias over a period of time. The second type of market behavior is periodic or cyclic motion, where the market shows no consistent directional bias and trades between two levels. This type of market results in the failure of trend-following indicators and the success of overbought/oversold oscillators. Both phases of the market require the use of different types of indicator. Trending markets need trend-following indicators such as moving averages, moving average convergence/divergence (MACD), and so on. Trading range markets need oscillators such as the relative strength index (RSI) and stochastics, which use overbought and oversold levels. The age-old problem for many trading systems is their inability to determine if a trending or trading range market is at hand. Trend-following indicators, such as the MACD or moving averages, tend to be whipsawed as markets enter a nontrending congestion phase. On the other hand, oscillators (which work well during trading range markets) are often too early to buy or sell in a trending market. Thus, identifying the market phase and selecting the appropriate indicators is critical to a system’s success. The congestion index attempts to identify the market’s character by dividing the actual percentage that the market has changed in the past x days by the extreme range according to the following formula:
Readings between+20 and−20indicate congestion or oscillating mode. Crossing over the 20 line from below indicates the start of a rising trend. Conversely, the start of a down turn is indicated by crossing under−20 from above. The CI can also be used as an overbought/oversold oscillator.

Hybrid Overbought/Oversold OverlayIntroduction
This is a new representation of my well-known oscillator Hybrid Overbought/Oversold Detector overlaid on the chart. The script utilizes the following 12 different oscillators to bring forth a new indicator which I call it Hybrid OB/OS .
Utilized Oscillators
The utilized oscillators here are:
Bollinger Bands %B
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO)
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
Disparity Index (DIX)
Keltner Channel %K
Money Flow Index (MFI)
Rate Of Change (ROC)
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Relative Vigor Index (RVI/RVGI)
Stochastic
Twiggs Money Flow (TMF)
The challenging part of utilizing mentioned oscillators was that some of their formulas range are not similar and some of them does not have a mathematical range at all. So I used a normalization function to normalize all their output values to (0, 100) interval.
Overbought/Oversold Levels Calculation
I noticed that the levels which considered as OB/OS level by various traders for each of the utilized oscillators are so different, e.g., many traders consider 30 as OS level and 70 as OB level for RSI and some others take 20 and 80 as the levels, or some traders consider 20 and 80 as OS/OB levels for Stochastic oscillator. Also these levels could be different on different assets, e.g., OB/OS levels for CCI on EURUSD chart might be 80 and 20 while the levels on BTCUSDT chart might be 75 and 25, and so on.
So I decided to make a routine to automate the calculation of these levels using historical data. By this feature, my indicator would calculate the corresponding levels for the oscillators on current chart and then decide about the overbought/oversold situation of each one, which leads to a more accurate Hybrid OB/OS indication.
As the result, if all 12 individual oscillators say it's overbought/oversold, the Hybrid OB/OS shows 100% overbought/oversold, vice versa, if none of them say it's overbought/oversold, the Hybrid OB/OS shows 0, and so on.
The Overlaying Oscillator Problem!
A programming-related challenge here was that Pine Script assigns two separate spaces to the oscillators and the overlaid indicators, and the programmers are limited to use just one of them in each of their codes.
Knowing this, I was forced to simulate the oscillator space on the chart and display my oscillator as a diagram somehow. Of course it won't be as nice as the oscillator itself, because the relation between the main chart bars and the oscillator bars could not be obtained, but it's better than nothing!
Settings and Usage
The indicator settings contain some options about the calculations, the diagram display and the signals appearance. By default they are fine, but you could change them as you prefer.
This indicator is better to be used alongside other indicators as a confirmation (specially in counter-trend strategies I believe). Also it generates an external signal which you could use it in your own designed indicators as well.
Feel free to test it and also the former form of the Hybrid OB/OS . Good Luck!
Zigzag Trend/Divergence DetectorPullbacks are always hardest part of the trade and when it happen, we struggle to make decision on whether to continue the trade and wait for recovery or cut losses. Similarly, when an instrument is trending well, it is often difficult decision to make if we want to take some profit off the table. This indicator is aimed to make these decisions easier by providing a combined opinion of sentiment based on trend and possible divergence.
⬜ Process
▶ Use any indicator to find trend bias. Here we are using simple supertrend
▶ Use any oscillator. I have added few inbuilt oscillators as option. Default used is RSI.
▶ Find divergence by using zigzag to detect pivot high/low of price and observing indicator movement difference between subsequent pivots in the same direction.
▶ Combine divregence type, divergence bias and trend bias to derive overall sentiment.
Complete details of all the possible combinations are present here along with table legend
⬜Chart Legend
C - Continuation
D - Divergence
H - Hidden Divergence
I - Indeterminate
⬜ Settings
▶ Zigzag parameters : These let you chose zigzag properties. If you check "Use confirmed pivots", then unconfirmed pivot will be ignored in the table and in the chart
▶ Oscillator parameters : Lets you select different oscillators and settings. Available oscillators involve
CCI - Commodity Channel Index
CMO - Chande Momentum Oscillator
COG - Center Of Gravity
DMI - Directional Movement Index (Only ADX is used here)
MACD - Moving average convergence divergence (Can chose either histogram or MACD line)
MFI - Money Flow Index
MOM - Momentum oscillator
ROC - Rate Of Change
RSI - Relative Strength Index
TSI - Total Strength Index
WPR - William Percent R
BB - Bollinger Percent B
KC - Keltner Channel Percent K
DC - Donchian Channel Percent D
ADC - Adoptive Donchian Channel Percent D ( Adoptive-Donchian-Channel )
▶ Trend bias : Supertrend is used for trend bias. Coloring option color candles in the direction of supertrend. More option for trend bias can be added in future.
▶ Stats : Enables you to display history in tabular format.
Overview of settings present here:
⬜ Notes
Trend detection is done only with respect to previous pivot in the same direction. Hence, if chart has too many zigzags in short period, try increasing the zigzag length or chart timeframe. Similarly, if there is a steep trend, use lower timeframe charts to dig further.
Oscillators does not always make pivots at same bar as price. Due to this some the divergence calculation may not be correct. Hence visual inspection is always recommended.
⬜ Possible future enhancements
More options for trend bias
Enhance divergence calculation. Possible options include using oscillator based zigzag as primary or using close prices based zigzag instead of high/low.
Multi level zigzag option - Can be messy to include more than one zigzag. Option can be added to chose either Level1 or Level2 zigzags.
Alerts - Alerts can only be added for confirmed pivots - otherwise it will generate too many unwanted alerts. Will think about it :)
If I get time, I will try to make a video.
[blackcat] L1 Mel Widner Auto Support and ResistanceLevel: 1
Background
This indicator/formula was presented in the May 1998 issue of the ‘Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities’ magazine. The article was titled “Automatic support and resistance” the article described an approach to finding support and resistance levels on a chart.
Function
Support and resistance analysis is a proven method for selecting key price levels for trading decisions; traders usually perform the analysis by hand. The automatic charting method and new oscillators presented here are easy to implement and give a precise comparison of price to these important levels. Suppose prices are moving higher, fed by steady cash flow and favorable expectations. Then, at some point, the advance begins to slow. Upward momentum is still dominant, but at that point it is diminishing and the rate of rise is decreasing, evidence of resistance. It is like throwing a ball into the air; the ball starts with initial momentum, then slows under the influence of gravity before eventually falling.
Prices behave in a similar manner. After opposing resistance forces are applied for a time, prices slow, finally stop, and reverse direction. The turning point is a resistance level and is the highest high price for that particular period. The converse is true for declining prices. A slowing decline results from support forces and a support level is established at the point where prices turn upward.
Simply, forces cause acceleration. Market forces do not directly produce momentum, but rather momentum changes. These momentum changes in turn are integrated or accumulated to establish momentum. The presence of market forces is evident when the slope of prices, or momentum, changes over time. The effect is most dramatic when forces also change, triggered by price moves or changes in expectations, and abrupt reversals occur. Examination of price histories can confirm the presence of these features.
Two oscillators are defined: the WSO (Widner support oscillator) and the WRO (Widner resistance oscillator). The WSO compares the current close with the most recent six support levels. Values range from zero to 100. WSO = zero means that the close is below all of the six support levels, and
WSO = 100 means that the current close is above all of the six support levels. Changes in WSO indicate changes in support, either breaking of an old level or establishing a new one. The WSO abd WRO are defined as:
WSO = 100( 1 – (INT(S1/C) + INT(S2/C) + INT(S3/C) + INT(S4/C) + INT(S5/C) + INT(S6/C)) / 6)
WRO = 100( 1 – (INT(R1/C) + INT(R2/C) + INT(R3/C) + INT(R4/C) + INT(R5/C) + INT(R6/C)) / 6)
Consequently, WSO and WRO can cross, but this is very uncommon.
Enter long when support is strong and resistance is weak or enter when support is building.
Key Signal
wso --> Widner support oscillator.
wro --> Widner resistance oscillator.
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Oscillator Profile IndicatorDescription:
The Oscillator Profile Indicator (OPI) is designed to provide insights into market trends and potential reversal points by profiling the value distribution of an oscillator or the price chart over a specified lookback period.
The OPI works by calculating the Point of Control (PoC) for the oscillator values or prices in the given lookback period. This PoC, essentially a median, is considered the fair value where most trading activities have happened. Along with this, OPI also calculates lower and upper boundaries by taking the specified percentile of the sorted distribution of values. These boundaries outline the value area within which a significant portion of trading activity has occurred.
The main feature of the OPI is the interpretation of PoC movement and how it relates to general market trends. If the PoC moves above 0 on the oscillator, it's a potential indication that we are in a general uptrend. Conversely, if the PoC moves below 0, this can be a signal for a general downtrend.
Usage:
While OPI can be used on both price charts and oscillators, its effectiveness is more pronounced when used on oscillators. Applying this indicator to oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) can provide useful insights.
How to Read:
PoC line: The line represents the median of the past 'n' periods. Its movement above or below 0 can be used to identify general uptrends or downtrends respectively.
Upper and Lower Boundary lines: These lines represent the specified percentile of the value distribution in the lookback period.
Colored Fills: The fills between the upper and lower boundary lines visually represent the value area. The color changes based on the relative position of the source value (price or oscillator value) to the PoC.
Signals:
An uptrend is indicated when the PoC moves above 0 on the oscillator, especially when coupled with an upward crossover of the source value through the PoC.
A downtrend is signaled when the PoC drops below 0 on the oscillator, particularly when paired with a downward crossover of the source value through the PoC.
(!) Note: Like all indicators, OPI should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for the best results. It is also advisable to backtest this indicator with your strategy before using it in live trading.
Center Of Linearity - A More Efficient Alternative To Elhers CGIntroduction
The center of gravity oscillator (CG) is one of the oscillators presented in Elhers book "cybernetic analysis for stocks and futures". This oscillator can be described as a bandpass filter centered around 0, its simplicity is ridiculous yet this indicator managed to get a pretty great popularity, this might be due to Elhers saying that he has substantial advantages over conventional oscillators used in technical analysis.
Today i propose a more efficient estimation of the center of gravity oscillator, this estimation will only use one convolution, while the original and other estimations use 2. I will also explain everything about the center of gravity oscillator, because even if its name can be imposing its actually super easy to understand.
The Center Of Gravity Oscillator
The CG oscillator is a bandpass filter, in short it filter high frequencies components as well as low frequency ones, this is why the oscillator is both smooth (no high frequencies) as well as detrended (no low frequencies), and therefore the oscillator focus exclusively on the cycles.
Its calculation is simple, its just a linearly weighted moving average minus a simple moving average wma - sma , this is not what is showcased in its book, but the result is just the same, the only thing that change is the scale, this is why some estimates have a weird scale that is not centered around 0, the output is technically the same but the scale isn't, however the scale of an oscillator isn't a big deal as long as the oscillator is centered around 0 and we don't plan to use it as input for overlay indicators.
If you are familiar with moving averages you'll know that the wma is more reactive than the sma, this is because more recent values have higher weights, and since subtracting a low-pass filter with another one conserve the smoothness while removing low-frequency components, we end up with a bandpass filter, yay!
Why "Center" Of Gravity ?
Elhers explain the idea behind this title with a pretty blurry analogy, so i'll try to give a visual explanation, we said earlier that the center of gravity was simply : wma - sma, ok lets look at their respective impulse responses,
Those are basically the weights of each filters, also called filter coefficients, lets denote the coefficients of the wma as a and the coefficients of the moving average as b . So whats the meaning behind center of gravity ? We basically want to "center" the weights of the wma, this can be done with a - b
The coefficients of the wma are therefore centered around 0, but actually there is more to that than a simple title explanation, basically a - b = c , where c are the coefficients of the center of gravity bandpass filter, therefore if we where to apply convolution to the price with c , we would get the center of gravity oscillator. Thats the thing with FIR filters, we can use convolution for describing a lot of FIR systems, and the difference between two impulse responses of two low-pass filters (here wma, sma) give us the coefficients of a bandpass filter.
The Center Of Linearity
At this point we could simply get the oscillator by using length/2 - i as coefficient, however in order to propose a more interesting variation i decided to go with a less efficient but more original approach, the center of linearity. Imagine two convolutions :
a = i*src and b = i*src
a only has a reversed index length-i , and is therefore describe a simple wma. Both convolutions give the following impulse responses :
Both are symmetrical to each others, and cross at a point, denoted center of linearity. The difference of each responses is :
Using it as coefficients would give us a bandpass filter who would look exactly like the Cg oscillator, this would be calculated as follows in our convolution :
i*src -i*src ) = i*(src -src )
Lets compare our estimate with the CG oscillator,
Conclusion
I this post i explained the calculation of the CG oscillator and proposed an efficient estimation of it by using an original approach. The CG oscillator isn't something complicated to use nor calculate, and is in fact closely related to the rolling covariance between the price and a linear function, so if you want to use the crosses between the center of gravity and 0 you can just use : correlation(close,bar_index,length) instead, thats basically the same.
The proposed indicator can also use other weightings instead of a linear one, each impulses responses would remain symmetrical.
Mean Reversion Probability Zones [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Mean Reversion Probability Zones indicator measures the likelihood of price reverting back toward its mean . By analyzing oscillator dynamics (RSI, MFI, or Stochastic), it calculates probability zones both above and below the oscillator. These zones are visualized as histograms, colored regions on the main chart, and a compact dashboard, helping traders spot when the market is statistically stretched and more likely to revert.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Mean Reversion : The tendency of price to return to its average after significant extensions.
Oscillator-Based Analysis : Uses RSI, MFI, or Stochastic as the base signal for detecting overextension.
Probability Model : The probability of reversion is computed using three factors:
Whether the oscillator is rising or declining.
Whether the oscillator is above or below user-defined thresholds.
The oscillator’s actual value (distance from equilibrium).
Dual-Zone Output :
Upper histogram = probability of downward mean reversion.
Lower histogram = probability of upward mean reversion.
Historical Extremes : The dashboard highlights the recent maximum probability values for both upward and downward scenarios.
🔵 FEATURES
Oscillator Choice : Switch between RSI, MFI, and Stochastic.
Customizable Zones : User-defined upper/lower thresholds with independent colors.
Probability Histograms :
Above oscillator → down reversion probability.
Below oscillator → up reversion probability.
Colored Gradient Zones on Chart : Visual overlays showing where mean reversion probabilities are strongest.
Probability Labels : Percentages displayed next to histogram values for clarity.
Dashboard : Compact table in the corner showing the recent maximum probabilities for both upward and downward mean reversion.
Overlay Compatibility : Works in both chart pane and sub-pane with oscillators.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set Oscillator : Choose RSI, MFI, or Stochastic depending on your strategy style.
Adjust Zones : Define upper/lower bounds for when oscillator values indicate strong overbought/oversold conditions.
Interpret Histograms :
Orange (upper) histogram → higher chance of a pullback/downward mean reversion.
Green (lower) histogram → higher chance of upward reversion/bounce.
Watch Gradient Zones : On the main chart, shaded areas highlight where probability of mean reversion is elevated.
Consult Dashboard : Use the “Recent MAX” values to understand how strong recent reversion probabilities have been in either direction.
Confluence Strategy : Combine with support/resistance, order flow, or trend filters to avoid counter-trend trades.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Mean Reversion Probability Zones provides traders with an advanced way to quantify and visualize mean reversion opportunities. By blending oscillator momentum, threshold logic, and probability calculations, it highlights when markets are statistically stretched and primed for reversal. Whether you are a contrarian trader or simply looking for exhaustion signals to fade, this tool helps bring structure and clarity to mean reversion setups.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION ABOUT TECHNICAL RATING v1.0
█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates TradingView's well-known "Strong Buy", "Buy", "Neutral", "Sell" or "Strong Sell" states using the aggregate biases of 26 different technical indicators.
█ CALCULATIONS
The indicator calculates the aggregate value of two groups of indicators: moving averages and oscillators.
The "MAs" group is comprised of 15 different components:
• Six Simple Moving Averages of periods 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 and 200
• Six Exponential Moving Averages of the same periods
• A Hull Moving Average of period 9
• A Volume-weighed Moving Average of period 20
• Ichimoku
The "Oscillators" group includes 11 components:
• RSI
• Stochastic
• CCI
• ADX
• Awesome Oscillator
• Momentum
• MACD
• Stochastic RSI
• Wiliams %R
• Bull Bear Power
• Ultimate Oscillator
The state of each group's components is evaluated to a +1/0/-1 value corresponding to its bull/neutral/bear bias. The resulting value for each of the two groups are then averaged to produce the overall value for the indicator, which oscillates between +1 and -1. The complete conditions used in the calculations are documented in the Help Center.
Market Forecast w/ Signals [QuantVue]The Market Forecast With Signals Indicator is an upgraded version of the popular ThinkorSwim platforms Market Forecast. This upgraded version utilizes stochastic oscillators, moving averages, and momentum calculations to find potential buying and selling opportunities.
Stochastic Oscillator
The indicator calculates three variations of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator for different time periods:
🔹Intermediate: Calculated over a medium-term period (default 31 bars).
🔹Momentum: Calculated over a short-term period (default 5 bars).
🔹Near Term: Calculated over a very short-term period (default 3 bars).
These calculations involve finding the highest and lowest values within their respective periods and comparing the current close to this range.
Moving Average Smoothing
The results of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator for the Intermediate and Near Term are then smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA):
🔹Intermediate: 5-period SMA of the Intermediate Stochastic Oscillator.
🔹Near Term: 2-period SMA of the Near Term Stochastic Oscillator.
Momentum Indicator
A custom momentum calculation is performed, using the recent high and low prices over four periods.
Display
The indicator plots the smoothed Intermediate, Near Term, and custom Momentum calculations as separate lines on the chart.
Trading Signals
While the original indicator plots the lines mentioned above, the Market Forecast w/ Signals goes a step further by identifying key moments when nuanced signals fire. The built in alerts and visual aids make spotting these trading opportunities a breeze.
Clusters - Bullish and Bearish clusters are identified based on the convergence of all three lines (Intermediate, Near, and Momentum) above 80 (Bearish) or below 20 (Bullish).
The background color of the chart changes to indicate these clusters, aiding in quick identification of market extremes.
Trend Reversals - Marked with labels on the chart, this is based on the direction of the cluster (bullish or bearish) and the subsequent price movement crossing a threshold determined during the cluster formation.
Divergences - Divergences between the Near Term line and price highs/lows are detected using pivot points. These divergences are then plotted as lines on the chart, highlighting potential discrepancies between price action and momentum, which can signal reversals.

Stochastic SuperTrend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A hybrid momentum-trend tool that combines Stochastic RSI with SuperTrend logic to deliver clean directional signals based on momentum turns.
Stochastic SuperTrend is a straightforward yet powerful oscillator overlay designed to highlight turning points in momentum with high clarity. It overlays a SuperTrend-style envelope onto the Stochastic RSI, generating intuitive up/down signals when a momentum shift occurs across the neutral 50 level. Built for traders who appreciate simplicity without sacrificing reliability.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Stochastic RSI: Measures momentum by applying stochastic calculations to the RSI curve instead of raw price.
SuperTrend Bands: Dynamic upper/lower bands are drawn around the smoothed Stoch RSI line using a user-defined multiplier.
Momentum Direction: Trend flips when the smoothed Stoch RSI crosses above/below the calculated bands.
Neutral Bias Filter: Directional arrows only appear when momentum turns above or below the central 50 level—adding confluence.
🔵 FEATURES
Trend Detection on Oscillator: Applies SuperTrend logic directly to the Stoch RSI curve.
Clean Entry Signals:
→ 🢁 arrow printed when trend flips bullish below 50 (bottom reversals).
→ 🢃 arrow printed when trend flips bearish above 50 (top reversals).
Custom Multiplier: Adjust sensitivity of SuperTrend band spacing around the oscillator.
Neutral Zone Highlight: Visual zone between 0–50 (green) and 50–100 (red) for quick momentum polarity reference.
Toggle SuperTrend Line: Option to show/hide the SuperTrend trail on the Stoch RSI.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use 🢁 signals for potential bottom reversals when momentum flips bullish from oversold regions.
Use 🢃 signals for potential top reversals when momentum flips bearish from overbought areas.
Combine with price-based SuperTrend or support/resistance zones for confluence.
Suitable for scalping, swing trading, or momentum filtering across all timeframes.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Stochastic SuperTrend is a simple yet refined tool that captures clean momentum shifts with directional clarity. Whether you're identifying reversals, filtering entries, or spotting exhaustion in a trend, this oscillator overlay delivers just what you need— no clutter, just clean momentum structure.
(JS) BallistaAlright so this is a script I made by combining two existing ones and making a really cool discovery that has proven very useful.
You'll notice that there are two separate oscillators that are laid on top of each other. The background oscillator is my "Tip-and-Dip" oscillator which you can see here (will refer to this as TnD from here), and the foreground oscillator from the Squeeze , which can be viewed here .
Initially I just wanted to see how they interacted with one another and compare them, but this led to some pretty interesting observations.
First let me go through the options real quick to get that out of the way, though it is mostly self-explanatory.
Lookback Period defines the amount of bars used for the TnD oscillator.
Smoothing Value smooths out the TnD output.
Standard Deviations is used to calculate the TnD formula.
Color Scheme is preset BG colors.
Using Dark Mode changes colors based on dark mode or not.
Squeeze Momentum On turns the Squeeze in the foreground off and on.
Arrows Off turns the arrows on the indicator off and on.
Now to explain the indicator a bit more. I have the default lookback period as 40 due to the Squeeze being 20, which makes the TnD oscillator the "slow" output with the Squeeze being the "fast" output.
Some initial observations were that when both the Squeeze and the TnD are moving in the direction, when the Squeeze is higher (uptrend) or lower (downtrend) it seems to indicate strength in the move. As the move loses steam you'll notice the Squeeze diverge from the TnD.
However, the most useful thing I discovered about the interaction between these two indicators is where the name for it came from. So if you aren't familiar with what a Ballista is, per Wikipedia, "The ballista... sometimes called bolt thrower, was an ancient missile weapon that launched either bolts or stones at a distant target." There are instances where the Squeeze seems to get ahead of itself and gets too far away from the TnD (which is the long term trend between the two). The key thing to look for is an "inverted squeeze" - this is when the squeeze oscillator ends up flipping against the TnD. When this occurs there is an extremely high probability that you'll see price shoot back the opposite way of the Squeeze.
I've been using this setup myself for about a year now and have been very satisfied with the results thusfar. I circled some examples on the SPX daily chart here to show you what I mean with the inverted Squeeze shooting back.

Efficient Work [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
Efficient Work measures the ratio of price movement from close to close ( resulting work ) over the distance traveled to the high and low before settling down at the close ( total work ). The closer the two values are, the more Efficient Work approaches its maximum value of +1 for an up move or -1 for a down move. When price does not change, Efficient Work is zero.
Higher values of Efficient Work indicate more efficient price travel between the close of two successive bars, which I interpret to be more significant, regardless of the move's amplitude. Because it measures the direction and strength of price changes rather than their amplitude, Efficient Work may be thought of as a sentiment indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
This oscillator's design stems from a few key concepts.
Relative Levels
Other than the centerline, relative rather than absolute levels are used to identify levels of interest. Accordingly, no fixed levels correspond to overbought/oversold conditions. Relative levels of interest are identified using:
• A Donchian channel (historical highs/lows).
• The oscillator's position relative to higher timeframe values.
• Oscillator levels following points in time where a divergence is identified.
Higher timeframes
Two progressively higher timeframes are used to calculate larger-context values for the oscillator. The rationale underlying the use of timeframes higher than the chart's is that, while they change less frequently than the values calculated at the chart's resolution, they are more meaningful because more work (trader activity) is required to calculate them. Combining the immediacy of values calculated at the chart's resolution to higher timeframe values achieves a compromise between responsiveness and reliability.
Divergences as points of interest rather than directional clues
A very simple interpretation of what constitutes a divergence is used. A divergence is defined as a discrepancy between any bar's direction and the direction of the signal line on that same bar. No attempt is made to attribute a directional bias to divergences when they occur. Instead, the oscillator's level is saved and subsequent movement of the oscillator relative to the saved level is what determines the bullish/bearish state of the oscillator.
Conservative coloring scheme
Several additive coloring conditions allow the bull/bear coloring of the oscillator's main line to be restricted to specific areas meeting all the selected conditions. The concept is built on the premise that most of the time, an oscillator's value should be viewed as mere noise, and that somewhat like price, it only occasionally conveys actionable information.
█ FEATURES
Plots
• Three lines can be plotted. They are named Main line , Line 2 and Line 3 . You decide which calculation to use for each line:
• The oscillator's value at the chart's resolution.
• The oscillator's value at a medium timeframe higher than the chart's resolution.
• The oscillator's value at the highest timeframe.
• An aggregate line calculated using a weighed average of the three previous lines (see the Aggregate Weights section of Inputs to configure the weights).
• The coloring conditions, divergence levels and the Hi/Lo channel always apply to the Main line, whichever calculation you decide to use for it.
• The color of lines 2 and 3 are fixed but can be set in the "Colors" section of Inputs.
• You can change the thickness of each line.
• When the aggregate line is displayed, higher timeframe values are only used in its calculation when they become available in the chart's history,
otherwise the aggregate line would appear much later on the chart. To indicate when each higher timeframe value becomes available,
a small label appears near the centerline.
• Divergences can be shown as small dots on the centerline.
• Divergence levels can be shown. The level and fill are determined by the oscillator's position relative to the last saved divergence level.
• Bull/bear markers can be displayed. They occur whenever a new bull/bear state is determined by the "Main Line Coloring Conditions".
• The Hi/Lo (Donchian) channel can be displayed, and its period defined.
• The background can display the state of any one of 11 different conditions.
• The resolutions used for the higher timeframes can be displayed to the right of the last bar's value.
• Four key values are always displayed in the Data Window (fourth icon down to the right of your chart):
oscillator values for the chart, medium and highest timeframes, and the oscillator's instant value before it is averaged.
Main Line Coloring Conditions
• Nine different conditions can be selected to determine the bull/bear coloring of the main line. All conditions set to "ON" must be met to determine the bull/bear state.
• A volatility state can also be used to filter the conditions.
• When the coloring conditions and the filter do not allow for a bull/bear state to be determined, the neutral color is used.
Signal
• Seven different averages can be used to calculate the average of the oscillator's value.
• The average's period can be set. A period of one will show the instant value of the oscillator,
provided you don't use linear regression or the Hull MA as they do not work with a period of one.
• An external signal can be used as the oscillator's instant value. If an already averaged external value is used, set the period to one in this indicator.
• For the cases where an external signal is used, a centerline value can be set.
Higher Timeframes
• The two higher timeframes are named Medium timeframe and Highest timeframe . They can be determined using one of three methods:
• Auto-steps: the higher timeframes are determined using the chart's resolution. If the chart uses a seconds resolution, for example,
the medium and highest resolutions will be 15 and 60 minutes.
• Multiples: the timeframes are calculated using a multiple of the chart's resolution, which you can set.
• Fixed: the set timeframes do not change with the chart's resolution.
Repainting
• Repainting can be controlled separately for the chart's value and the higher timeframe values.
• The default is a repainting chart value and non-repainting higher timeframe values. The Aggregate line will thus repaint by default,
as it uses the chart's value along with the higher timeframes values.
Aggregate Weights
• The weight of each component of the Aggregate line can be set.
• The default is equal weights for the three components, meaning that the chart's value accounts for one third of the weight in the Aggregate.
High Volatility
• This provides control over the volatility filter used in the Main line's coloring conditions and the background display.
• Volatility is determined to be high when the short-term ATR is greater than the long-term ATR.
Colors
• You can define your own colors for all of the oscillator's plots.
• The default colors will perform well on both white and black chart backgrounds.
Alerts
• An alert can be defined for the script. The alert will trigger whenever a bull/bear marker appears in the indicator's display.
The particular combination of coloring conditions and the display of bull/bear markers when you create the alert will thus determine when the alert triggers.
Once the alerts are created, subsequent changes to the conditions controlling the display of markers will not affect the existing alert(s).
• You can create multiple alerts from this script, each triggering on different conditions.
Backtesting & Trading Engine Signal Line
• An invisible plot named "BTE Signal" is provided. It can be used as an entry signal when connected to the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine as an external input.
It will generate an entry whenever a marker is displayed.
█ NOTES
• I do not know for sure if the calculations in Efficient Work are original. I apologize if they are not.
• Because this version of Efficient Work only has access to OHLC information, it cannot measure the total distance traveled through all of a bar's ticks, but the indicator nonetheless behaves in a manner consistent with the intentions underlying its design.
For Pine coders
This code was written using the following standards:
• The PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine .
• A modified version of the PineCoders MTF Oscillator Framework and MTF Selection Framework .
Rate of Change HistogramExplanation of Modifications
Converting ROC to Histogram:
Original ROC: The ROC is calculated as roc = 100 * (source - source ) / source , plotted as a line oscillating around zero.
Modification: Instead of plotting roc as a line, it’s now plotted as a histogram using style=plot.style_columns. This makes the ROC values visually resemble the MACD histogram, with bars extending above or below the zero line based on momentum.
Applying MACD’s Four-Color Scheme:
Logic: The histogram’s color is determined by:
Above Zero (roc >= 0): Bright green (#26A69A) if ROC is rising (roc > roc ), light green (#B2DFDB) if falling (roc < roc ).
Below Zero (roc < 0): Bright red (#FF5252) if ROC is falling (roc < roc ), light red (#FFCDD2) if rising (roc > roc ).
Implementation: Used the exact color logic and hex codes from the MACD code, applied to the ROC histogram. This highlights momentum ebbs (falling ROC, fading waves) and flows (rising ROC, strengthening waves).
Removing Signal Line:
Unlike the previous attempt, no signal line is added. The histogram is purely the ROC value, ensuring it directly reflects price change momentum without additional smoothing, making it faster and more responsive to pulse waves, as you indicated ROC performs better than other oscillators.
Alert Conditions:
Added alerts to match the MACD’s logic, triggering when the ROC histogram crosses the zero line:
Rising to Falling: When roc >= 0 and roc < 0, signaling a potential wave peak (e.g., end of Wave 3 or C).
Falling to Rising: When roc <= 0 and roc > 0, indicating a potential wave bottom (e.g., start of Wave 1 or rebound).
These alerts help identify transitions in 3-4 wave pulse patterns.
Plotting:
Histogram: Plotted as columns (plot.style_columns) with the four-color scheme, directly representing ROC momentum.
Zero Line: Kept the gray zero line (#787B86) for reference, consistent with the MACD.
Removed ROC Line/Signal Line: Since you want the ROC to act as the histogram itself, no additional lines are plotted.
Inputs:
Retained the original length (default 9) and source (default close) inputs for consistency.
Removed signal-related inputs (e.g., signal_length, sma_signal) as they’re not needed for a pure ROC histogram.
How This ROC Histogram Works for Wave Pulses
Wave Alignment:
Above Zero (Bullish Momentum): Positive ROC bars indicate flows (e.g., impulse Waves 1, 3, or rebounds in Wave B/C). Bright green bars show accelerating momentum (strong pulses), while light green bars suggest fading momentum (potential wave tops).
Below Zero (Bearish Momentum): Negative ROC bars indicate ebbs (e.g., corrective Waves 2, 4, A, or C). Bright red bars show increasing bearish momentum (strong pullbacks), while light red bars suggest slowing declines (potential wave bottoms).
3-4 Wave Pulses:
In a 3-wave A-B-C correction: Wave A (down) shows bright red bars (falling ROC), Wave B (up) shows bright/light green bars (rising ROC), and Wave C (down) shifts back to red bars.
In a 4-wave consolidation: Alternating green/red bars highlight the rhythmic ebbs and flows as momentum oscillates.
Timing:
Zero-line crossovers mark wave transitions (e.g., from Wave 2 to Wave 3).
Color changes (e.g., bright to light green) signal momentum shifts within waves, helping identify pulse peaks/troughs.
Advantages Over MACD:
The ROC histogram is more responsive than the MACD histogram because ROC directly measures price change percentage, while MACD relies on moving average differences, which introduce lag. This makes the ROC histogram better for capturing rapid 3-4 wave pulses, as you noted.
Example Usage
For a stock with 3-4 wave pulses on a 5-minute chart:
Wave 1 (Flow): ROC rises above zero, histogram turns bright green (rising momentum), indicating a strong bullish pulse.
Wave 2 (Ebb): ROC falls below zero, histogram shifts to bright red (falling momentum), signaling a corrective pullback.
Wave 3 (Flow): ROC crosses back above zero, histogram becomes bright green again, confirming a powerful pulse.
Wave 4 (Ebb): ROC dips slightly, histogram turns light green (falling momentum above zero) or light red (rising momentum below zero), indicating consolidation.
Alerts trigger on zero-line crosses (e.g., from Wave 2 to Wave 3), helping time trades.
Settings Recommendations
Default (length=9): Works well for most time frames, balancing sensitivity and smoothness.
Intraday Pulses: Use length=5 or length=7 for faster signals on 5-minute or 15-minute charts.
Daily Charts: Try length=12 or length=14 for broader wave cycles.
Testing: Apply to a stock with clear wave patterns (e.g., tech stocks like AAPL or TSLA) and adjust length to match the pulse frequency you observe.
Notes
Confirmation: Pair the ROC histogram with price action (e.g., Fibonacci retracements, support/resistance) to validate wave counts, as momentum oscillators can be noisy in choppy markets.
Divergences: Watch for divergences (e.g., price makes a higher high, but ROC histogram bars are lower) to spot wave reversals, especially at Wave 3 or C ends.
Comparison to MACD: The ROC histogram is faster and more direct, making it ideal for short-term pulse waves, but it may be more volatile, so use with technical levels for precision.
Elder's Force Index Function (with source)TradingView has built in functions for RSI, Momentum, and many other oscillators. Why the source isn't available for Elder's Force Index is beyond me. To me it's one of the Holy Grail indicators. This is EFI indicator with a simple function inside the source code. You're can easily copy this function into any study(indicator) or strategy that uses built-in oscillators, as a replacement.

Additionally, the indicator allows for tracking signals based on the combined analysis of three other technical indicators: MACD, stochastic oscillator, and awesome oscillator. Furthermore, the indicator includes the ability to display buy/sell labels and signals for changing the trend direction. This is not an investment recommendation.Very effective in higher timeframes.If the MACD "macd line" crosses the "signal line" from above and the Stochastic %K line crosses the %D line from above, and the last column in the Avesome Oscillator is red, then the indicator gives a signal to sell. If the MACD "macd line" crosses the "signal line" from below and the Stochastic %K line crosses the %D line from below, and the last column in the Avesome Oscillator is green, then the indicator gives a signal to buy.
DVDIQQE [DW]This is an experimental study inspired by the Quantitative Qualitative Estimation indicator designed to identify trend and wave activity.
In this study, rather than using RSI for the calculation, the Dual Volume Divergence Index oscillator is utilized.
First, the DVDI oscillator is calculated by taking the difference between PVI and its EMA, and NVI and its EMA, then taking the difference between the two results.
Optional parameters for DVDI calculation are included within this script:
- An option to use tick volume rather than real volume for the volume source
- An option to use cumulative data, which sums the movements of the oscillator from the beginning to the end of TradingView's maximum window to give a more broad picture of market sentiment
Next, two trailing levels are calculated using the average true range of the oscillator. The levels are then used to determine wave direction.
Lastly, rather than using 0 as the center line, it is instead calculated by taking a cumulative average of the oscillator.
Custom bar colors are included.
Note: For charts that have no real volume component, use tick volume as the volume source.
