Trapped Traders Order BlocksHow It Works
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator identifies specific price action patterns that suggest large market participants ("big money") have been trapped in losing positions after significant price sweeps, creating potential opportunities for reversals. The indicator detects both "bullish trap blocks" (where bearish traders are trapped) and "bearish trap blocks" (where bullish traders are trapped). Here’s the step-by-step process for each:
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A bearish candle (Candle A) must sweep the high of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its high exceeds the high of the prior candle.
This bearish candle must have a longer upper wick than its lower wick, indicating rejection of higher prices.
The candle must not be a doji (i.e., it must have a significant body, defined as the body being at least 10% of the candle's range).
The next candle (Candle C) must close above the body of the bearish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bearish sweep, potentially trapping bearish traders who entered short positions expecting a downward move.
The body of the bearish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bullish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bullish Trap") is placed below it.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A bullish candle (Candle A) must sweep the low of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its low is below the low of the prior candle.
This bullish candle must have a longer lower wick than its upper wick, indicating rejection of lower prices.
The candle must not be a doji.
The next candle (Candle C) must close below the body of the bullish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bullish sweep, potentially trapping bullish traders who entered long positions expecting an upward move.
The body of the bullish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bearish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bearish Trap") is placed above it.
Dynamic Box Extension:
For both bullish and bearish trap blocks, the box extends dynamically to the current bar unless it exceeds a user-defined age (default is 52 bars), at which point it stops at the maximum age.
Sweep Detection:
Bullish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is above the top of the box.
The low is below the top of the box.
The close is above the top of the box.
The lower wick is longer than the upper wick (indicating rejection of lower prices).
The close is above 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bullish bias).
When a bullish sweep occurs, a label ("Bullish Sweep") is placed at the low of the candle, pointing upward, and an alert is triggered.
Bearish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is below the bottom of the box.
The high is above the bottom of the box.
The close is below the bottom of the box.
The upper wick is longer than the lower wick (indicating rejection of higher prices).
The close is below 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bearish bias).
When a bearish sweep occurs, a label ("Bearish Sweep") is placed at the high of the candle, pointing downward, and an alert is triggered.
When to Be Used
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is best used in the following scenarios:
Reversal Trading:
Use this indicator to identify potential reversal points in the market. Bullish trap blocks suggest that trapped bears may unwind their short positions, leading to a potential bullish move. Bearish trap blocks suggest that trapped bulls may unwind their long positions, leading to a potential bearish move.
Look for sweeps of these blocks as confirmation of a directional move. A bullish sweep indicates a potential upward move, while a bearish sweep indicates a potential downward move.
Range-Bound Markets:
In sideways or ranging markets, trapped blocks can highlight key levels where large players have been caught off-guard. These levels often act as support or resistance, and a sweep of the block can signal a breakout or continuation in the direction of the sweep.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
Combine the trapped blocks with other technical analysis tools, such as support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis, to increase the probability of a successful trade. For example, a bullish trap block near a strong support level with a bullish sweep can provide a high-probability setup for a long position, while a bearish trap block near a strong resistance level with a bearish sweep can signal a short opportunity.
Timeframes:
The indicator is most effective on higher timeframes such as 1-day (1D), 1-week (1W), and 1-month (1M) charts. These timeframes are more likely to capture significant moves involving large market participants, reducing noise and false signals compared to lower timeframes. While it can be used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), the signals may be less reliable due to increased market noise.
Logic Behind It
The logic behind the Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is rooted in market psychology and the behavior of large market participants ("big money"). When a large sweep candle occurs where price spikes in one direction but then quickly reverses it often indicates that traders have entered positions in the direction of the sweep, expecting a continuation. However, if the price immediately moves against them, these traders are now trapped in losing positions.
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A large bearish sweep candle (spiking upward but closing lower) suggests that bearish traders (bears) have entered short positions at the top of the move, expecting a downward continuation. If the next candle closes above the bearish candle's body, these bears are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bearish candle becomes a "bullish trap block" because the trapped bears are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just above the high of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by buying back their shorts, which can drive the price higher. This unwinding process often attracts new buyers, leading to a potential bullish reversal or continuation.
The bullish sweep conditions (e.g., close > box top, longer lower wick, and close above 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bullish momentum and rejection of lower prices, confirming the potential for a move higher.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A large bullish sweep candle (spiking downward but closing higher) suggests that bullish traders (bulls) have entered long positions at the bottom of the move, expecting an upward continuation. If the next candle closes below the bullish candle's body, these bulls are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bullish candle becomes a "bearish trap block" because the trapped bulls are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just below the low of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by selling their longs, which can drive the price lower. This unwinding process often attracts new sellers, leading to a potential bearish reversal or continuation.
The bearish sweep conditions (e.g., close < box bottom, longer upper wick, and close below 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bearish momentum and rejection of higher prices, confirming the potential for a move lower.
Summary
Bullish Trap Block: Occurs when bears get trapped after a bearish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bullish candle, indicating a potential reversal as trapped bears may unwind their positions.
Bearish Trap Block: Occurs when bulls get trapped after a bullish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bearish candle, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
Use Case: Ideal for identifying reversal opportunities, especially in range-bound markets or at key support/resistance levels on higher timeframes like 1D, 1W, and 1M, and can be combined with other indicators for confluence.
Logic: Large sweep candles followed by an immediate reversal suggest that big money has been trapped, and these traders may unwind their positions at break-even in the near future, driving price in the opposite direction of their initial trade.
This indicator provides a visual and actionable way to identify these trapped trader scenarios, with customizable settings for box display, sweep visuals, and alerts to help traders capitalize on these opportunities, particularly on higher timeframes where the signals are most reliable.

RShar Seasonal RSISeasonal RSI
This indicator, Seasonal RSI, is designed to enhance trading decisions by combining the **Relative Strength Index (RSI)** with insights derived from historical **seasonality patterns**. It not only calculates RSI but also overlays seasonality data for the current week of the year, providing traders with a more contextualized view of market conditions.
---
### **Key Features**
#### 1. **Relative Strength Index (RSI) Calculation**
- The script calculates the RSI for a user-defined period (`RSI Length`), which is an oscillator used to measure the speed and magnitude of price changes.
- RSI values are plotted on the chart, helping traders identify **overbought** and **oversold** conditions.
- Thresholds for **Overbought** and **Oversold** levels are customizable, with default values of 70 and 30, respectively.
---
#### 2. **Dynamic RSI Coloring Based on Seasonality**
- The color of the RSI line dynamically adjusts based on historical **win rates** for the current week of the year:
- **Bright Green** for win rates > 65%.
- **Green** for win rates between 50-65%.
- **Red** for win rates between 35-50%.
- **Dark Red** for win rates < 35%.
- This feature gives traders a quick visual cue about whether the historical performance of the current week tends to be bullish, neutral, or bearish.
---
#### 3. **Overbought and Oversold Level Visualization**
- Overbought and oversold levels are displayed as dotted horizontal lines on the RSI chart.
- These levels act as visual guides for potential price reversals:
- **Overbought (default 70)**: Indicates potential selling pressure.
- **Oversold (default 30)**: Indicates potential buying pressure.
---
#### 4. **Seasonality Data Integration**
- Historical **seasonality data** is used to analyze price performance patterns for each week of the year:
- **Win Rate**: The percentage of years in which prices closed higher during the current week.
- **Average Weekly Change**: The average price percentage change during the current week over historical data.
- This data provides additional context to RSI readings, helping traders align their strategies with seasonal tendencies.
---
#### 5. **Information Table Overlay**
- A table is displayed in the **top-right corner** of the chart, summarizing seasonality data for the current week:
- **Week Win Rate**: Displays the percentage of historical years where prices rose during this week.
- **Avg Weekly Change**: Shows the average percentage price change for the current week. Positive values are displayed in green, and negative values are shown in red.
- This overlay provides actionable insights without cluttering the chart.
---
### **How It Works**
1. **Seasonality Data**:
- A function (`getSeasonalityForWeek`) fetches or uses predefined mock seasonality data for each week of the year.
- For each week, it calculates:
- The **Win Rate** (percentage of years with positive performance).
- The **Mean Change** (average price percentage change).
2. **RSI Plot**:
- The RSI line is plotted on the chart.
- The line's color is determined by the win rate for the current week, providing a visual representation of historical performance trends.
3. **Threshold Visualization**:
- Horizontal lines for overbought and oversold levels are drawn to assist in identifying potential reversal points.
4. **Information Table**:
- The table summarizes the current week's seasonality data for quick reference, helping traders make data-driven decisions.
---
### **Use Cases**
- **Short-Term Traders**:
Use the dynamic RSI colors and seasonality table to align short-term trades with historical patterns of weekly performance.
- **Swing Traders**:
Identify whether a stock or market is in an overbought/oversold condition while considering the seasonal tendency for the week.
- **Contextual Decision-Making**:
Combine traditional RSI signals with historical data to reduce false signals and improve timing.
---
### **Limitations**
- The script uses **mock seasonality data** in its default state. To make it fully functional, replace the mock data with actual historical performance metrics for your specific ticker or market.
- The indicator does not fetch real-time external data due to Pine Script’s limitations, so all seasonality data must be manually updated or hardcoded.
---
This indicator provides a powerful way to combine technical analysis with historical trends, offering a unique edge to traders by adding seasonal context to RSI signals.
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is a Pine version 6 extension of the basic Fisher Transform indicator that focuses on highlighting potential turning points in price data. Its purpose is to allow traders to spot shifts in momentum, detect divergence, and adapt signals to different market environments. By combining a core Fisher Transform with additional signal processing, divergence detection, and customizable aggressiveness settings, this script aims to help users see when a price move might be losing momentum or gaining strength.
2. Overview
This script uses a Fisher Transform calculation on the average of each bar’s high and low (hl2). The Fisher Transform is designed to amplify price extremes by mapping data into a different scale, making potential reversals more visible than they might be with standard oscillators. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse takes this concept further by integrating a signal line, divergence detection, bar coloring for momentum intensity, and optional thresholds to reduce unwanted noise.
3. Why Use the Fisher Transform
The Fisher Transform is known for converting relatively smoothed price data into a more pronounced scale. This transformation highlights where markets may be overextended. In many cases, standard oscillators move gently, and traders can miss subtle hints that a reversal might be approaching. The Fisher Transform’s mathematical approach tightens the range of values and sharpens the highs and lows. This behavior can allow traders to see clearer peaks and troughs in momentum. Because it is often quite responsive, it can help anticipate areas where price might change direction, especially when compared to simpler moving averages or traditional oscillators. The result is a more evident signal of possible overbought or oversold conditions.
4. How This Extension Improves on the Basic Fisher Transform
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse adds multiple features to the classic Fisher framework in order to address different trading styles and market behaviors:
a) Divergence Detection
The script can detect bullish or bearish divergences between price and the oscillator over a chosen lookback period, helping traders anticipate shifts in market direction.
b) Bar Coloring
When momentum exceeds a certain threshold (default 3), bars can be colored to highlight surges of buying or selling pressure. This quick visual reference can assist in spotting periods of heightened activity. After a bar color like this, usually, there is a quick correction as seen in the image below.
c) Signal Aggressiveness Levels
Users can choose between conservative, moderate, or aggressive signal thresholds. This allows them to tune how quickly the indicator flags potential entries or exits. Aggressive settings might suit scalpers who need rapid signals, while conservative settings may benefit swing traders preferring fewer, more robust indications.
d) Minimum Movement Filter
A configurable filter can be set to ensure that the Fisher line and its signal have a sufficient gap before triggering a buy or sell signal. This step is useful for traders seeking to minimize signals during choppy or sideways markets. This can be used to eliminate noise as well.
By combining all these elements into one package, the indicator attempts to offer a comprehensive toolkit for those who appreciate the Fisher Transform’s clarity but also desire more versatility.
5. Core Components
a) Fisher Transform
The script calculates a Fisher value using normalized price over a configurable length, highlighting potential peaks and troughs.
b) Signal Line
The Fisher line is smoothed using a short Simple Moving Average. Crossovers and crossunders are one of the key ways this indicator attempts to confirm momentum shifts.
c) Divergence Logic
The script looks back over a set number of bars to compare current highs and lows of both price and the Fisher oscillator. When price and the oscillator move in opposing directions, a divergence may occur, suggesting a possible upcoming reversal or weakening trend.
d) Thresholds for Overbought and Oversold
Horizontal lines are drawn at user-chosen overbought and oversold levels. These lines help traders see when momentum readings reach particular extremes, which can be especially relevant when combined with crossovers in that region.
e) Intensity Filter and Bar Coloring
If the magnitude of the change in the Fisher Transform meets or exceeds a specified threshold, bars are recolored. This provides a visual cue for significant momentum changes.
6. User Inputs
a) length
Defines how many bars the script looks back to compute the highest high and lowest low for the Fisher Transform. A smaller length reacts more quickly but can be noisier, while a larger length smooths out the indicator at the cost of responsiveness.
b) signal aggressiveness
Adjusts the buy and sell thresholds for conservative, moderate, and aggressive trading styles. This can be key in matching the indicator to personal risk preferences or varying market conditions. Conservative will give you less signals and aggressive will give you more signals.
c) minimum movement filter
Specifies how far apart the Fisher line and its signal line must be before generating a valid crossover signal.
d) divergence lookback
Controls how many bars are examined when determining if price and the oscillator are diverging. A larger setting might generate fewer signals, while a smaller one can provide more frequent alerts.
e) intensity threshold
Determines how large a change in the Fisher value must be for the indicator to recolor bars. Strong momentum surges become more noticeable.
f) overbought level and oversold level
Lets users define where they consider market conditions to be stretched on the upside or downside.
7. Calculation Process
a) Price Input
The script uses the midpoint of each bar’s high and low, sometimes referred to as hl2.
hl2 = (high + low) / 2
b) Range Normalization
Determine the maximum (maxHigh) and minimum (minLow) values over a user-defined lookback period (length).
Scale the hl2 value so it roughly fits between -1 and +1:
value = 2 * ((hl2 - minLow) / (maxHigh - minLow) - 0.5)
This step highlights the bar’s current position relative to its recent highs and lows.
c) Fisher Calculation
Convert the normalized value into the Fisher Transform:
fisher = 0.5 * ln( (1 + value) / (1 - value) ) + 0.5 * fisher_previous
fisher_previous is simply the Fisher value from the previous bar. Averaging half of the new transform with half of the old value smooths the result slightly and can prevent erratic jumps.
ln is the natural logarithm function, which compresses or expands values so that market turns often become more obvious.
d) Signal Smoothing
Once the Fisher value is computed, a short Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to produce a signal line. In code form, this often looks like:
signal = sma(fisher, 3)
Crossovers of the fisher line versus the signal line can be used to hint at changes in momentum:
• A crossover occurs when fisher moves from below to above the signal.
• A crossunder occurs when fisher moves from above to below the signal.
e) Threshold Checking
Users typically define oversold and overbought levels (often -1 and +1).
Depending on aggressiveness settings (conservative, moderate, aggressive), these thresholds are slightly shifted to filter out or include more signals.
For example, an oversold threshold of -1 might be used in a moderate setting, whereas -1.5 could be used in a conservative setting to require a deeper dip before triggering.
f) Divergence Checks
The script looks back a specified number of bars (divergenceLookback). For both price and the fisher line, it identifies:
• priceHigh = the highest hl2 within the lookback
• priceLow = the lowest hl2 within the lookback
• fisherHigh = the highest fisher value within the lookback
• fisherLow = the lowest fisher value within the lookback
If price forms a lower low while fisher forms a higher low, it can signal a bullish divergence. Conversely, if price forms a higher high while fisher forms a lower high, a bearish divergence might be indicated.
g) Bar Coloring
The script monitors the absolute change in Fisher values from one bar to the next (sometimes called fisherChange):
fisherChange = abs(fisher - fisher )
If fisherChange exceeds a user-defined intensityThreshold, bars are recolored to highlight a surge of momentum. Aqua might indicate a strong bullish surge, while purple might indicate a strong bearish surge.
This color-coding provides a quick visual cue for traders looking to spot large momentum swings without constantly monitoring indicator values.
8. Signal Generation and Filtering
Buy and sell signals occur when the Fisher line crosses the signal line in regions defined as oversold or overbought. The optional minimum movement filter prevents triggering if Fisher and its signal line are too close, reducing the chance of small, inconsequential price fluctuations creating frequent signals. Divergences that appear in oversold or overbought regions can serve as additional evidence that momentum might soon shift.
9. Visualization on the Chart
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse plots two lines: the Fisher line in one color and the signal line in a contrasting shade. The chart displays horizontal dashed lines where the overbought and oversold levels lie. When the Fisher Transform experiences a sharp jump or drop above the intensity threshold, the corresponding price bars may change color, signaling that momentum has undergone a noticeable shift. If the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence, dotted lines are drawn on the oscillator portion to connect the relevant points.
10. Market Adaptability
Because of the different aggressiveness levels and the optional minimum movement filter, Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse can be tailored to multiple trading styles. For instance, a short-term scalper might select a smaller length and more aggressive thresholds, while a swing trader might choose a longer length for smoother readings, along with conservative thresholds to ensure fewer but potentially stronger signals. During strongly trending markets, users might rely more on divergences or large intensity changes, whereas in a range-bound market, oversold or overbought conditions may be more frequent.
11. Risk Management Considerations
Indicators alone do not ensure favorable outcomes, and relying solely on any one signal can be risky. Using a stop-loss or other protections is often suggested, especially in fast-moving or unpredictable markets. Divergence can appear before a market reversal actually starts. Similarly, a Fisher Transform can remain in an overbought or oversold region for extended periods, especially if the trend is strong. Cautious interpretation and confirmation with additional methods or chart analysis can help refine entry and exit decisions.
12. Combining with Other Tools
Traders can potentially strengthen signals from Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse by checking them against other methods. If a moving average cross or a price pattern aligns with a Fisher crossover, the combined evidence might provide more certainty. Volume analysis may confirm whether a shift in market direction has participation from a broad set of traders. Support and resistance zones could reinforce overbought or oversold signals, particularly if price reaches a historical boundary at the same time the oscillator indicates a possible reversal.
13. Parameter Customization and Examples
Some short-term traders run a 15-minute chart, with a shorter length setting, aggressively tight oversold and overbought thresholds, and a smaller divergence lookback. This approach produces more frequent signals, which may appeal to those who enjoy fast-paced trading. More conservative traders might apply the indicator to a daily chart, using a larger length, moderate threshold levels, and a bigger divergence lookback to focus on broader market swings. Results can differ, so it may be helpful to conduct thorough historical testing to see which combination of parameters aligns best with specific goals.
14. Realistic Expectations
While the Fisher Transform can reveal potential turning points, no mathematical tool can predict future price behavior with full certainty. Markets can behave erratically, and a period of strong trending may see the oscillator pinned in an extreme zone without a significant reversal. Divergence signals sometimes appear well before an actual trend change occurs. Recognizing these limitations helps traders manage risk and avoids overreliance on any one aspect of the script’s output.
15. Theoretical Background
The Fisher Transform uses a logarithmic formula to map a normalized input, typically ranging between -1 and +1, into a scale that can fluctuate around values like -3 to +3. Because the transformation exaggerates higher and lower readings, it becomes easier to spot when the market might have stretched too far, too fast. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse builds on that foundation by adding a series of practical tools that help confirm or refine those signals.
16. Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is not simply a duplicate of the basic Fisher Transform. It enhances the original design in several ways, including built-in divergence detection, bar-color triggers for momentum surges, thresholds for overbought and oversold levels, and customizable signal aggressiveness. By unifying these concepts, the script seeks to reduce noise and highlight meaningful shifts in market direction. It also places greater emphasis on helping traders adapt the indicator to their specific style—whether that involves frequent intraday signals or fewer, more robust alerts over longer timeframes.
17. Summary
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is an expanded take on the original Fisher Transform oscillator, including divergence detection, bar coloring based on momentum strength, and flexible signal thresholds. By adjusting parameters like length, aggressiveness, and intensity thresholds, traders can configure the script for day-trading, swing trading, or position trading. The indicator endeavors to highlight where price might be shifting direction, but it should still be combined with robust risk management and other analytical methods. Doing so can lead to a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
18. Disclaimer
No indicator or script can guarantee profitable outcomes in trading. Past performance does not necessarily suggest future results. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is provided for educational and informational purposes. Users should apply their own judgment and may want to confirm signals with other tools and methods. Deciding to open or close a position remains a personal choice based on each individual’s circumstances and risk tolerance.

Smooth Price Oscillator [BigBeluga]The Smooth Price Oscillator by BigBeluga leverages John Ehlers' SuperSmoother filter to produce a clear and smooth oscillator for identifying market trends and mean reversion points. By filtering price data over two distinct periods, this indicator effectively removes noise, allowing traders to focus on significant signals without the clutter of market fluctuations.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● SuperSmoother-Based Oscillator:
This oscillator uses Ehlers' SuperSmoother filter, applied to two different periods, to create a smooth output that highlights price momentum and reduces market noise. The dual-period application enables a comparison of long-term and short-term price movements, making it suitable for both trend-following and reversion strategies.
// @function SuperSmoother filter based on Ehlers Filter
// @param price (float) The price series to be smoothed
// @param period (int) The smoothing period
// @returns Smoothed price
method smoother_F(float price, int period) =>
float step = 2.0 * math.pi / period
float a1 = math.exp(-math.sqrt(2) * math.pi / period)
float b1 = 2 * a1 * math.cos(math.sqrt(2) * step / period)
float c2 = b1
float c3 = -a1 * a1
float c1 = 1 - c2 - c3
float smoothed = 0.0
smoothed := bar_index >= 4
? c1 * (price + price ) / 2 + c2 * smoothed + c3 * smoothed
: price
smoothed
● Mean Reversion Signals:
The indicator identifies two types of mean reversion signals:
Simple Mean Reversion Signals: Triggered when the oscillator moves between thresholds of 1 and Overbought or between thresholds -1 and Ovesold, providing additional reversion opportunities. These signals are useful for capturing shorter-term corrections in trending markets.
Strong Mean Reversion Signals: Triggered when the oscillator above the overbought (upper band) or below oversold (lower band) thresholds, indicating a strong reversal point. These signals are marked with a "+" symbol on the chart for clear visibility.
Both types of signals are plotted on the oscillator and the main chart, helping traders to quickly identify potential trade entries or exits.
● Dynamic Bands and Thresholds:
The oscillator includes overbought and oversold bands based on a dynamically calculated standard deviation and EMA. These bands provide visual boundaries for identifying extreme price conditions, helping traders anticipate potential reversals at these levels.
● Real-Time Labels:
Labels are displayed at key thresholds and bands to indicate the oscillator’s status: "Overbought," "Oversold," and "Neutral". Mean reversion signals are also displayed on the main chart, providing an at-a-glance summary of current indicator conditions.
● Customizable Threshold Levels:
Traders can adjust the primary threshold and smoothing length according to their trading style. A higher threshold can reduce signal frequency, while a lower setting will provide more sensitivity to market reversals.
The Smooth Price Oscillator by BigBeluga is a refined, noise-filtered indicator designed to highlight mean reversion points with enhanced clarity. By providing both strong and simple reversion signals, as well as dynamic overbought/oversold bands, this tool allows traders to spot potential reversals and trend continuations with ease. Its dual representation on the oscillator and the main price chart offers flexibility and precision for any trading strategy focused on capturing cyclical market movements.
Nami Bands with Future Projection [FXSMARTLAB]The Nami Bands ( Inspired by "Nami", meaning "wave" in Japanese) are two dynamic bands around price data: an upper band and a lower band. These bands are calculated based on an Asymmetric Linear Weighted Moving Average of price and a similarly asymmetric weighted standard deviation. This weighting method emphasizes recent data without overreacting to short-term price changes, thus smoothing the bands in line with prevailing market conditions.
Advantages and Benefits of Using the Indicator
* Volatility Analysis: The bands expand and contract with market volatility, helping traders assess periods of high and low volatility. Narrow bands indicate low volatility and potential consolidation, while wide bands suggest increased volatility and potential price movement.
* Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels: By adapting to recent trends, the bands serve as dynamic support (lower band) and resistance (upper band) levels, which traders can use for entry and exit signals.
* Overbought and Oversold Conditions: When prices reach or cross the bands’ outer limits, it may signal overbought (upper band) or oversold (lower band) conditions, suggesting possible reversals or trend slowdowns.
* Trend Confirmation and Continuation: The slope of the central moving average confirms trend direction. An upward slope generally indicates a bullish trend, while a downward slope suggests a bearish trend.
* Anticipating Breakouts and Reversals: The projected bands help identify where price movements may head, allowing traders to anticipate potential breakouts or reversals based on projected support and resistance.
Indicator Parameters
Source (src): The price data used for calculations, by default set to the average of high, low, and close (hlc3).
Length: The period over which calculations are made, defaulted to 50 periods.
Projection Length: The length for future band projection, defaulted to 20 periods.
StdDev Multiplier (mult): A multiplier for the standard deviation, defaulted to 2.0.
Internal Calculations
1. Asymmetric Linear Weighted Moving Average of Price
The indicator uses an Asymmetric Linear Weighted Moving Average (ALWMA) to calculate a central value for the price.
Asymmetric Weighting: This weighting technique assigns the highest weight to the most recent value, with weights decreasing linearly as the data points become older. This structure provides a nuanced focus on recent price trends, while still reflecting historical price levels.
2. Asymmetric Weighted Standard Deviation
The standard deviation in this indicator is also calculated using asymmetric weighting:
Purpose of Asymmetric Weighted Standard Deviation: Rather than aiming for high sensitivity to recent data, this standard deviation measure smooths out volatility by integrating weighted values across the length period, stabilizing the overall measurement of price variability.
This approach yields a balanced view of volatility, capturing broader market trends without being overly reactive to short-lived changes.
3. Upper and Lower Bands
The upper and lower bands are created by adding and subtracting the asymmetric weighted standard deviation from the asymmetric weighted average of price. This creates a dynamic envelope that adjusts to both recent price trends and the smoothed volatility measure:
These bands represent adaptable support and resistance levels that shift with recent market volatility.
Future Band Projection
The indicator provides a projection of the bands based on their current slope.
1. Calculating the Slope of the Bands
The slope for each band is derived from the difference between the current and previous values of each band.
2. Projecting the Bands into the Future
For each period into the future, up to the defined Projection Length, the bands are projected using the current slope.
This feature offers an anticipated view of where support and resistance levels may move, providing insight for future market behavior based on current trends.
CMF and Scaled EFI OverlayCMF and Scaled EFI Overlay Indicator
Overview
The CMF and Scaled EFI Overlay indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and a scaled version of the Elder Force Index (EFI) into a single chart. This allows traders to analyze both indicators simultaneously, facilitating better insights into market momentum and volume dynamics , specifically focusing on buying/selling pressure and momentum , without compromising the integrity of either indicator.
Purpose
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures buying and selling pressure by evaluating price and volume over a specified period. It indicates accumulation (buying pressure) when values are positive and distribution (selling pressure) when values are negative.
Elder Force Index (EFI): Combines price changes and volume to assess the momentum behind market moves. Positive values indicate upward momentum (prices rising with strong volume), while negative values indicate downward momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
By scaling the EFI to match the amplitude of the CMF, this indicator enables a direct comparison between pressure and momentum , preserving their shapes and zero crossings. Traders can observe the relationship between price movements, volume, and momentum more effectively, aiding in decision-making.
Understanding Pressure vs. Momentum
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
- Indicates the level of demand (buying pressure) or supply (selling pressure) in the market based on volume and price movements.
- Accumulation: When institutional or large investors are buying significant amounts of an asset, leading to an increase in buying pressure.
- Distribution: When these investors are selling off their holdings, increasing selling pressure.
Elder Force Index (EFI):
- Measures the strength and speed of price movements, indicating how forceful the current trend is.
- Positive Momentum: Prices are rising quickly, indicating a strong uptrend.
- Negative Momentum: Prices are falling rapidly, indicating a strong downtrend.
Understanding the difference between pressure and momentum is crucial. For example, a market may exhibit strong buying pressure (positive CMF) but weak momentum (low EFI), suggesting accumulation without significant price movement yet.
Features
Overlay of CMF and Scaled EFI: Both indicators are plotted on the same chart for easy comparison of pressure and momentum dynamics.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust lengths for CMF and EFI calculations and fine-tune the scaling factor for optimal alignment.
Preserved Indicator Integrity: The scaling method preserves the shape and zero crossings of the EFI, ensuring accurate analysis.
How It Works
CMF Calculation:
- Calculates the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM) and Money Flow Volume (MFV) to assess buying and selling pressure.
- CMF is computed by summing the MFV over the specified length and dividing by the sum of volume over the same period:
CMF = (Sum of MFV over n periods) / (Sum of Volume over n periods)
EFI Calculation:
- Calculates the EFI using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price change multiplied by volume:
EFI = EMA(n, Change in Close * Volume)
Scaling the EFI:
- The EFI is scaled by multiplying it with a user-defined scaling factor to match the CMF's amplitude.
Plotting:
- Both the CMF and the scaled EFI are plotted on the same chart.
- A zero line is included for reference, aiding in identifying crossovers and divergences.
Indicator Settings
Inputs
CMF Length (`cmf_length`):
- Default: 20
- Description: The number of periods over which the CMF is calculated. A higher value smooths the indicator but may delay signals.
EFI Length (`efi_length`):
- Default: 13
- Description: The EMA length for the EFI calculation. Adjusting this value affects the sensitivity of the EFI to price changes.
EFI Scaling Factor (`efi_scaling_factor`):
- Default: 0.000001
- Description: A constant used to scale the EFI to match the CMF's amplitude. Fine-tuning this value ensures the indicators align visually.
How to Adjust the EFI Scaling Factor
Start with the Default Value:
- Begin with the default scaling factor of `0.000001`.
Visual Inspection:
- Observe the plotted indicators. If the EFI appears too large or small compared to the CMF, proceed to adjust the scaling factor.
Fine-Tune the Scaling Factor:
- Increase or decrease the scaling factor incrementally (e.g., `0.000005`, `0.00001`, `0.00005`) until the amplitudes of the CMF and EFI visually align.
- The optimal scaling factor may vary depending on the asset and timeframe.
Verify Alignment:
- Ensure that the scaled EFI preserves the shape and zero crossings of the original EFI.
- Overlay the original EFI (if desired) to confirm alignment.
How to Use the Indicator
Analyze Buying/Selling Pressure and Momentum:
- Positive CMF (>0): Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- Negative CMF (<0): Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- Positive EFI: Indicates positive momentum (prices rising with strong volume).
- Negative EFI: Indicates negative momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
Look for Indicator Alignment:
- Both CMF and EFI Positive:
- Suggests strong bullish conditions with both buying pressure and upward momentum.
- Both CMF and EFI Negative:
- Indicates strong bearish conditions with selling pressure and downward momentum.
Identify Divergences:
- CMF Positive, EFI Negative:
- Buying pressure exists, but momentum is negative; potential for a bullish reversal if momentum shifts.
- CMF Negative, EFI Positive:
- Selling pressure exists despite rising prices; caution advised as it may indicate a potential bearish reversal.
Confirm Signals with Other Analysis:
- Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trend lines, support/resistance levels) to confirm trading decisions.
Example Usage
Scenario 1: Bullish Alignment
- CMF Positive: Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).

MTF RSI+CMO PROThis RSI+CMO script combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), providing a powerful tool to help traders analyze price momentum and spot potential turning points in the market. Unlike using RSI alone, the CMO (especially with a 14-period length) moves faster and accentuates price pops and dips in the histogram, making price shifts more apparent.
Indicator Features:
➡️RSI and CMO Combined: This indicator allows traders to track both RSI and CMO values simultaneously, highlighting differences in their movement. RSI and CMO values are both plotted on the histogram, while CMO values are also drawn as a line moving through the histogram, giving a visual representation of their relationship. The often faster-moving CMO accentuates short-term price movements, helping traders spot subtle shifts in momentum that the RSI might smooth out.
➡️Multi-Time Frame Table: A real-time, multi-time frame table displays RSI and CMO values across various timeframes. This gives traders an overview of momentum across different intervals, making it easier to spot trends and divergences across short and long-term time frames.
➡️Momentum Chart Label: A chart label compares the current RSI and CMO values with values from 1 and 2 bars back, providing an additional metric to gauge momentum. This feature allows traders to easily see if momentum is increasing or decreasing in real-time.
➡️RSI/CMO Bullish and Bearish Signals: Colored arrow plot shapes (above the histogram) indicate when RSI and CMO values are signaling bullish or bearish conditions. For example, green arrows appear when RSI is above 65, while purple arrows show when RSI is below 30 and CMO is below -40, indicating strong bearish momentum.
➡️Divergences in Histogram: The histogram can make it easier for traders to spot divergences between price and momentum. For instance, if the price is making new highs but the RSI or CMO is not, a bearish divergence may be forming. Similarly, bullish divergences can be spotted when prices are making lower lows while RSI or CMO is rising.
➡️Alert System: Alerts are built into the indicator and will trigger when specific conditions are met, allowing traders to stay informed of potential entry or exit points based on RSI and CMO levels without constantly monitoring the chart. These are set manually. Look for the 3 dots in the indicator name.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator:
💥Identifying Momentum Shifts: The RSI+CMO combination is ideal for spotting momentum shifts in the market. Traders can monitor the histogram and the CMO line to determine if the market is gaining or losing strength.
💥Confirming Trade Entries/Exits: Use the real-time RSI and CMO values across multiple time frames to confirm trades. For instance, if the 1-hour RSI is above 70 but the 1-minute RSI is turning down, it could indicate short-term overbought conditions, signaling a potential exit or reversal.
💥Spotting Divergences: Divergences are critical for predicting potential reversals. The histogram can be used to spot divergences when RSI and CMO values deviate from price action, offering an early signal of market exhaustion.
💥Tracking Multi-Time Frame Trends: The multi-time frame table provides insight into the market’s overall trend across several timeframes, helping traders ensure their decisions align with both short and long-term trends.
RSI vs. CMO: Why Use Both?
While both RSI and CMO measure momentum, the CMO often moves faster with a value of 14 for example, reacting to price changes more quickly. This makes it particularly effective for detecting sharp price movements, while RSI helps smooth out price action. By using both, traders get a clearer picture of the market's momentum, particularly during volatile periods.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of this indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use RSI+CMO in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and RSI+CMO values start to signal a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the RSI+CMO signals a potential trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like the MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the RSI+CMO values start to decrease rapidly while both the RSI+CMO also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern with decreasing RSI+CMo values offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the MTF RSI+CMO PRO with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
TEMA Crosses_AIT with Manual TEMA CalculationTitle: TEMA Crosses_AIT Indicator
Description:
The TEMA Crosses_AIT Indicator is designed for traders looking to leverage the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) to identify trend reversals and momentum shifts in the market. This indicator calculates both fast and slow TEMA lines and signals potential buy or sell opportunities based on crossovers between these two lines.
Key Features:
Fast TEMA (TEMAF):
Default period: 20 (adjustable)
Represents the short-term trend and reacts quickly to price changes.
Slow TEMA (TEMAS):
Default period: 200 (adjustable)
Represents the long-term trend, smoothing out price fluctuations to give a clearer view of the overall direction.
Signal Generation:
Long Signal: A long (buy) signal is generated when the fast TEMA crosses above the slow TEMA, indicating a potential upward trend.
Short Signal: A short (sell) signal is generated when the fast TEMA crosses below the slow TEMA, indicating a potential downward trend.
Color-coded Visualization:
The fast TEMA line is displayed in green when it is above the slow TEMA (bullish signal) and in red when below (bearish signal).
The slow TEMA line is displayed in white.
A yellow triangle appears below the price bar for long entries.
A fuchsia triangle appears above the price bar for short entries.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) manually using exponential moving averages (EMA). The TEMA is calculated by subtracting the second EMA from three times the first EMA, then adding the third EMA. This provides a smoother trend line that reacts more quickly than a traditional EMA, making it ideal for spotting trend changes.
Customizable Inputs:
TEMAF Period: Adjust the period of the fast TEMA to fit your trading style.
TEMAS Period: Adjust the period of the slow TEMA to match the time frame you are analyzing.
Use Cases:
Trend Reversals: The crossovers between the fast and slow TEMA provide clear signals for potential trend reversals, which can be used to enter or exit trades.
Momentum Confirmation: The color-coded TEMA lines allow traders to easily identify whether the short-term momentum is aligned with the long-term trend, helping to confirm the strength of a move.
Recommendations:
This indicator works well with other momentum-based tools like RSI or MACD for confirming signals and identifying overbought or oversold conditions. It is suitable for use across different asset classes, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities.
Disclaimer:
The TEMA Crosses_AIT indicator should not be used as a standalone trading strategy. It is recommended to combine this indicator with other forms of analysis and risk management techniques. Always backtest the indicator on historical data before applying it to live trades.
Trade Entry Detector, Wick to Body Ratio Trade Entry Detector: Wick-to-Body Ratio Strategy with Bollinger Bands
Overview
The Trade Entry Detector is a custom strategy for TradingView that leverages the Bollinger Bands and a unique wick-to-body ratio approach to capture precise entry opportunities. This indicator is designed for traders who want to pinpoint high-probability reversal points when price interacts with Bollinger Bands, all while offering flexible entry fill options.
The strategy performs primary analysis on the daily time frame, regardless of your current chart setting, allowing you to view daily Bollinger Band levels and entry signals even on lower time frames. This approach is suitable for swing traders and short-term traders looking to align intraday moves with higher time frame signals.
How the Strategy Works
1. Bollinger Band Analysis on the Daily Time Frame
Bollinger Bands are calculated using a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) and a standard deviation multiplier (default is 2). These bands dynamically expand and contract based on market volatility, making them ideal for identifying overbought and oversold conditions:
* Upper Band: Indicates potential overbought levels.
* Lower Band: Indicates potential oversold levels.
2. Wick-to-Body Ratio Condition
This strategy places significant emphasis on candle wicks relative to the candle body. Here’s why:
* A large upper wick relative to the body signals potential selling pressure after testing the upper Bollinger Band.
* A large lower wick relative to the body indicates buying support after testing the lower Bollinger Band.
* Ratio Threshold: You can set a minimum wick-to-body ratio (default is 1.0), meaning that the wick must be at least equal in size to the body. This ensures only candles with significant reversals are considered for entry.
3. Flexible Entry Timing
To adapt to various trading styles, the indicator allows you to choose the entry fill timing:
* Daily Close: Enter at the close of the daily candle.
* Daily Open: Enter at the open of the following daily candle.
* HOD (High of Day): Set entry at the daily high, for those who want confirmation of upward momentum.
* LOD (Low of Day): Set entry at the daily low, ideal for confirming downward movement.
4. Position Sizing and Risk Management
The strategy calculates position size based on a fixed risk percentage of your account balance (default is 1%). This approach dynamically adjusts position sizes based on stop-loss distance:
* Stop Loss: Placed at the nearest swing high (for shorts) or swing low (for longs).
* Take Profit: Exits are triggered when the price reaches the opposite Bollinger Band.
5. Order Expiration
Each pending order (long or short) expires after two days if unfilled, allowing for new setups on subsequent candles if conditions are met again.
Using the Trade Entry Detector
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Set the Primary Time Frame
The core calculations run on the daily time frame, but the strategy can be applied to intraday charts (e.g., 65-minute or 15-minute) for deeper insights.
2. Adjust Bollinger Band Settings
* Length: Default is 20, which determines the period for calculating the moving average.
* Standard Deviation Multiplier: Default is 2.0, which sets the width of the bands. Adjusting this can help you capture broader or tighter volatility ranges.
3. Define the Wick-to-Body Ratio
Set the minimum ratio between wick and body (default 1.0). Higher values filter out candles with less wick-to-body contrast, focusing on stronger rejection moves.
4. Choose Entry Fill Timing
Select your preferred fill condition:
* Daily Close: Confirms the trade at the end of the daily session.
* Daily Open: Executes the entry at the open of the next day.
* HOD/LOD: Uses the daily high or low as an additional confirmation for upward or downward moves.
5. Position Sizing and Risk Management
* Set your account balance and risk percentage. The strategy automatically calculates position sizes based on the stop distance to manage risk efficiently.
* Stop Loss and Take Profit points are automatically set based on swing highs/lows and opposing Bollinger Bands, respectively.
Practical Example
Let’s say SPY (S&P 500 ETF) tests the lower Bollinger Band on the daily time frame, with a lower wick that is twice the size of the body (meeting the 1.0 ratio threshold). Here’s how the strategy might proceed:
1. Signal: The lower wick on SPY suggests buying interest at the lower Bollinger Band.
2. Entry Fill Timing: If you’ve selected "Daily Open," the entry order will be placed at the next day's open price.
3. Stop Loss: Positioned at the nearest daily swing low to minimize risk.
4. Take Profit: If SPY price moves up and reaches the upper Bollinger Band, the position is automatically closed.
Indicator Features and Benefits
* Multi-Time Frame Compatibility: Perform daily analysis while tracking signals on any intraday chart.
* Automatic Position Sizing: Tailor risk per trade based on account balance and desired risk percentage.
* Flexible Entry Options: Choose from close, open, HOD, or LOD for optimal timing.
* Effective Trend Reversal Identification: Uses wick-to-body ratio and Bollinger Band interaction to pinpoint potential reversals.
* Dynamic Visualization: Bollinger Bands are displayed on your chosen time frame, allowing seamless intraday tracking.
Summary
The Trade Entry Detector provides a unique, data-driven way to spot reversal points with customizable entry options. By combining Bollinger Bands with wick-to-body ratio conditions, it identifies potential trade setups where price has tested extremes and shown reversal signals. With its flexible entry timing, risk management features, and multi-time frame compatibility, this indicator is ideal for traders looking to blend daily market context with shorter-term execution.
Tips for Usage:
* For swing trading, consider the Daily Open or Close entry options.
* For momentum entries, HOD or LOD may offer better alignment with the direction of the wick.
* Backtest on different assets to find optimal Bollinger Band and wick-to-body settings for your market.
Use this indicator to enhance your understanding of price behavior at key levels and improve the precision of your entry points. Happy trading!
Divergence Indicator Multi [TradingFinder] MACD AO RSI DIV Chart🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is Divergence in Financial Markets?
Divergence in technical analysis happens when the price of a stock moves in a direction opposite to certain indicators. This is a crucial concept in financial markets as it can signal either a trend reversal or a continuation of the current correction in the trend. Understanding divergence helps traders and analysts make more informed decisions.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
A positive regular divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend, where two price lows form. This divergence appears when the price chart shows a new low, but the indicator does not follow, signaling potential buying opportunities.
Positive divergence indicates increased buying pressure and reduced selling pressure, making it a useful signal for forecasting price increases.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
A negative regular divergence is seen during an uptrend when two price highs form. The price chart records a new high, but the indicator does not reflect this change, suggesting that a market downturn is likely.
This type of divergence shows strong selling pressure and weaker buying activity, which can help identify selling opportunities.
Both positive and negative divergences are powerful tools for identifying potential trend reversals and key support and resistance levels. For example, when an indicator trends upward while the price moves downward, this creates divergence, warning traders to reconsider their investment strategy.
🟣 Different Types of Divergence in Trading
1. Regular Divergence :
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2. Hidden Divergence :
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence.
Note : This guide focuses specifically on Regular Divergence.
🟣 What is Regular Divergence?
Regular Divergence, often referred to as convergence, occurs when price action and indicators show conflicting patterns, usually signaling the end of a trend. Detecting regular divergence helps traders anticipate potential trend reversals or the formation of reversal patterns.
🔵 How to Use
To optimize the detection of divergence, you can adjust the Fractal Period to specify the length of time for identifying divergence patterns.
Additionally, with the Divergence Detection Method, you can select oscillators like the MACD, RSI, or AO to base divergence detection on.
Divergence in MACD :
MACD divergence occurs when the price chart forms an opposite pattern compared to the MACD line, indicating a potential price reversal.
Divergence in RSI :
In a downtrend, if the price chart forms two consecutive lows with the second lower than the first, but the RSI shows two lows with the second higher, this indicates positive regular divergence, which is a buy signal.
On the other hand, during an uptrend, if the price forms two highs with the second higher than the first, but the RSI shows the second high lower, this points to negative regular divergence, indicating a sell signal.
Divergence in AO (Awesome Oscillator) :
The AO indicator calculates histograms using the difference between 5-period and 34-period simple moving averages. It compares peaks and troughs of these histograms with price movements, detecting divergence and plotting lines and arrows to signal divergence.
🔵 Table
The following table breaks down the main features of the oscillator. It covers four critical categories: Exist, Consecutive, Divergence Quality, and Change Phase Indicator.
Exist : If divergence is detected, a "+" will appear in this row.
Consecutive: Shows the number of consecutive divergences that have formed in a short period.
Divergence Quality : Evaluates the quality of the divergence based on the number of occurrences. One is labeled "Normal," two are "Good," and three or more are considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change is detected between two oscillation peaks, this is marked in the table.
Kurutoga Histogram with HTF and LTF
Kurutoga Histogram:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a technical analysis indicator designed to measure price divergence from the 50% level of a recent price range. By calculating how far the current price is from the midpoint of a selected base length of candles, the histogram provides insight into the momentum, strength, and potential reversals in the market. Additionally, it can be applied across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of both short- and long-term market dynamics.
Key Components:
Base Length:
The base length is the number of candles (bars) over which the high and low prices are observed. The default base length is typically 14 periods, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preference.
This base length defines the range from which the 50% level, or midpoint, is calculated.
50% Level (Midpoint):
The midpoint is the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the selected base length. This 50% level acts as an equilibrium point around which the price fluctuates.
Formula:
Midpoint = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2
The price’s distance from this midpoint is an indicator of how strong the current trend or divergence is.
Price Divergence:
The main calculation of the histogram is the difference between the current closing price and the midpoint of the price range.
Formula:
Divergence = Close Price − Midpoint
A positive divergence (price above the midpoint) indicates bullish strength, while a negative divergence (price below the midpoint) indicates bearish strength.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The Kurutoga Histogram can be applied to both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF), allowing traders to gauge price movement in both short-term and long-term contexts.
By comparing the histograms of multiple timeframes, traders can determine if there is alignment (confluence) between trends, which can strengthen trade signals or provide additional confirmation.
Color-Coded Histogram:
Blue Bars (Positive Divergence): Represent that the price is above the 50% level, indicating bullish momentum. Taller blue bars suggest stronger upward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest weakening strength.
Red Bars (Negative Divergence): Represent that the price is below the 50% level, indicating bearish momentum. Taller red bars suggest stronger downward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest a potential reversal or consolidation.
The histogram’s color intensity and transparency can be adjusted to enhance the visual effect, distinguishing between current timeframe (LTF) and higher timeframe (HTF) divergence.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signals: When the histogram bars are blue and growing, the price is gaining momentum above the midpoint of its recent range. This could signal an ongoing uptrend.
Bearish Signals: When the histogram bars are red and growing, the price is gaining momentum below the midpoint, signaling an ongoing downtrend.
Momentum Shifts: When the histogram bars shrink in size (whether blue or red), it could indicate that the current trend is losing strength and may reverse or enter consolidation.
Neutral or Sideways Movement: When the histogram bars hover around zero, it means the price is trading near the midpoint of its recent range, often signaling a lack of strong momentum in either direction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
When the current timeframe (LTF) histogram aligns with the higher timeframe (HTF) histogram (e.g., both are showing strong bullish or bearish divergence), it may provide stronger confirmation of the trend's strength.
Divergence between timeframes (e.g., bullish on LTF but bearish on HTF) may suggest that price movements on lower timeframes are not yet reflected in the broader trend, signaling caution.
Applications:
Trend Identification: The Kurutoga Histogram is highly useful for detecting when the price is trending away from its equilibrium point, providing insight into the strength of ongoing trends.
Momentum Analysis: By measuring the divergence from the 50% level, the histogram helps traders identify when momentum is increasing or decreasing.
Reversal Detection: Shrinking histogram bars can signal weakening momentum, which often precedes trend reversals.
Consolidation and Breakouts: When the histogram remains near zero for an extended period, it suggests consolidation, which often precedes a breakout in either direction.
Advantages:
Clear Visuals: The use of a color-coded histogram makes it easy to visually assess whether the market is gaining bullish or bearish momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Utility: The ability to compare current timeframe signals with higher timeframe signals adds an extra layer of confirmation, reducing false signals.
Dynamic Adjustment: By adjusting the base length, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator to match different markets or trading styles.
Limitations:
Lagging Indicator: Like most divergence indicators, the Kurutoga Histogram may lag slightly behind actual price movements, especially during fast, volatile markets.
Requires Confirmation: This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical tools like moving averages, support/resistance levels, or volume indicators, to avoid relying on divergence alone.
Conclusion:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a versatile and visually intuitive tool for measuring price divergence from a key equilibrium point, helping traders to assess the strength of trends and identify potential reversal points. Its use across multiple timeframes provides deeper insights, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy that emphasizes momentum and trend following.
Artaking 2Components of the Indicator:
Moving Averages:
Short-Term Moving Average (MA): This is a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) applied to the closing price. It is used to track the short-term trend of the market.
Long-Term Moving Average (MA): This is a 200-period SMA used to track the long-term trend.
Day Trading Moving Average: A 20-period SMA is used specifically for day trading signals, focusing on shorter-term price movements.
Purpose:
The crossing of these moving averages (short-term crossing above or below long-term) provides basic buy and sell signals, indicative of potential trend reversals or continuations.
ADX (Average Directional Index) for Trend Strength:
ADX Calculation: The ADX is calculated using a 14-period length with 14-period smoothing. The ADX value indicates the strength of a trend, regardless of direction.
Strong Trend Condition: The indicator considers a trend to be strong if the ADX value is above 25. This threshold helps filter out trades during weak or sideways markets.
Purpose:
To ensure that the strategy only generates signals when there is a strong trend, thus avoiding whipsaws in low volatility or range-bound conditions.
Support Levels:
Support Level Calculation: The indicator calculates the lowest close over the last 100 periods. This level is used to identify significant support zones where the price might find a floor.
Purpose:
Support levels are critical in identifying potential areas where the price might bounce, making them ideal for setting stop losses or identifying buy opportunities.
Volatility Spike (Proxy for News Trading):
ATR (Average True Range) Calculation: The indicator uses a 14-period ATR to measure market volatility. A volatility spike is identified when the ATR is greater than 1.5 times the 14-period SMA of the ATR.
Purpose:
This serves as a proxy for news events or other sudden market movements that could make the market unpredictable. The indicator avoids generating signals during these periods to reduce the risk of being caught in a volatile, potentially news-driven move.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
61.8% Fibonacci Level: Calculated from the highest high and lowest low over the long MA period, this retracement level is widely regarded as a significant support or resistance level.
Purpose:
Position traders often use Fibonacci levels to identify potential reversal points. The indicator incorporates the 61.8% level to fine-tune entries and exits.
Candlestick Patterns for Price Action Trading:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: A bullish reversal pattern where a green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: A bearish reversal pattern where a red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle.
Purpose:
These patterns are classic signals used in price action trading to identify potential reversals at key levels, especially when they align with other conditions like support/resistance or Fibonacci levels.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals by combining the above elements:
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is triggered when:
The short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA (indicating a potential uptrend).
The trend is strong (ADX > 25).
The current price is near or below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting a potential reversal.
No significant volatility spike is detected, ensuring the market isn’t reacting unpredictably to news.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is triggered when:
The short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA (indicating a potential downtrend).
The trend is strong (ADX > 25).
The current price is near or above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting potential resistance.
No significant volatility spike is detected.
Day Trading Signals:
Independent of the main trend signals, the indicator also generates intraday buy and sell signals when the price crosses above or below the 20-period day trading MA.
Price Action Signals:
The indicator can trigger buy or sell signals based purely on price action, such as the occurrence of bullish or bearish engulfing patterns. This is optional and can be enabled or disabled.
Alerts:
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions that notify the trader when a buy or sell signal is generated. This allows traders to act immediately without having to constantly monitor the charts.
Practical Application:
This indicator is versatile and can be used across various trading styles:
Position Trading: The long-term MA, Fibonacci retracement, and ADX provide a solid foundation for identifying long-term trends and potential entry/exit points.
Day Trading: The short-term MA and day trading MA offer quick signals for intraday trading.
Price Action: Candlestick pattern recognition allows for precise entry points based on market sentiment and behavior.
News Trading: The volatility spike filter helps avoid trading during periods of market instability, often driven by news events.
Conclusion:
The Comprehensive Trading Strategy Indicator is a robust tool designed to help traders navigate various market conditions by integrating multiple strategies into a single, coherent framework. It provides clear, actionable signals while filtering out potentially dangerous trades during volatile or weak market conditions. Whether you're a long-term trader, a day trader, or someone who relies on price action, this indicator can be a valuable addition to your trading toolkit.
Prometheus IQR bandsThis indicator is a tool that uses market data to plot bands along with a price chart.
This tool uses interquartile range (IQR) instead of Standard Deviation (STD) because market returns are not normally distributed. There is also no way to tell if the pocket of the market you are looking at is normally distributed. So using methods that work better with non-normal data minimizes risk more than using a different process.
Calculation
Code for helper functions:
// Function to calculate the percentile value
percentile(arr, p) =>
index = math.floor(p * (array.size(arr) - 1) + 0.5)
array.get(arr, index)
manual_iqr(data, lower_percentile, upper_percentile)=>
// Sort the data
data_arr = array.new()
for i = 0 to lkb_
data_arr.push(close )
array.sort(data_arr)
sorted_data = data_arr.copy()
n = array.size(data_arr)
// Calculate the specified percentiles
Q1 = percentile(sorted_data, lower_percentile)
Q3 = percentile(sorted_data, upper_percentile)
// Calculate IQR
IQR = Q3 - Q1
// Return the IQR
IQR
IQRB(lkb_, sens)=>
sens_l = sens/100
sens_h = (100-sens)/100
val = manual_iqr(close, sens_l, sens_h)
sma = ta.sma(close, int(lkb_))
upper = sma + val
lower = sma - val
Percentile Calculation (percentile function):
Calculates the percentile value of an array (arr) at a given percentile (p).
Uses linear interpolation to find the exact percentile value in a sorted array.
Manual IQR Calculation (manual_iqr function):
Converts the input data into an array (data_arr) and sorts it.
Computes the lower and upper quartiles (Q1 and Q3) using the specified percentiles (lower_percentile and upper_percentile).
Computes the Interquartile Range (IQR) as IQR = Q3 - Q1.
Returns the computed IQR.
IQRB Function Calculation (IQRB function):
Converts the sensitivity percentage (sens) into decimal values (sens_l for lower percentile and sens_h for upper percentile).
Calls manual_iqr with the closing prices (close) and the lower and upper percentiles.

ICT Market Structure Screener (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The ICT Market Structure Screener (Zeiierman) is designed to identify and display key market structure levels and patterns based on Smart Money Concepts. It highlights bullish and bearish structures, premium and discount levels, and generates alerts for significant market structure changes, making it a valuable tool for traders looking to understand institutional trading behaviors and market trends. A key feature of this indicator is its screener function, which allows traders to monitor multiple symbols simultaneously. This feature provides a consolidated view of the market structure for various assets, making it easier to identify trading opportunities across a diverse portfolio.
█ How It Works
The ICT Market Structure Screener operates by identifying high and low pivot points within a specified period, then analyzing these pivots to determine changes in market structure. The indicator tracks price movements and categorizes them into bullish or bearish structures, indicating potential trend reversals or continuations. By plotting premium and discount levels, it helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator also provides real-time updates and alerts for significant changes in the market structure.
█ Terminology
ChoCH (Change of Character): Indicates a potential reversal in market direction. It is identified when the price breaks a significant high or low, suggesting a shift from a bullish to bearish trend or vice versa.
SMS (Smart Money Shift): Represents the transition phase in market structure where smart money begins accumulating or distributing assets. It typically follows a BMS and indicates the start of a new trend.
BMS (Bullish/Bearish Market Structure): Confirms the trend direction. Bullish Market Structure (BMS) confirms an uptrend, while Bearish Market Structure (BMS) confirms a downtrend. It is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows (bullish) or lower highs and lower lows (bearish).
Premium: A zone where the price is considered overbought. It is calculated as the upper range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for selling or shorting.
Mid Range: The midpoint between the high and low of the market structure. It often acts as a support or resistance level, helping traders identify potential reversal or continuation points.
Discount: A zone where the price is considered oversold. It is calculated as the lower range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for buying or going long.
█ How to Use
The ICT Market Structure Screener allows traders to follow smart money moves in the market more effectively. By identifying key market levels and monitoring bullish and bearish structures, traders can easily spot trend changes and strong trends. The indicator's premium and discount levels help identify overbought and oversold conditions, providing valuable entry and exit points. Alerts for ChoCH, SMS, and BMS keep traders informed about significant market changes, enabling real-time adjustments to trading strategies.
The screener functionality is particularly valuable for monitoring multiple markets simultaneously. The screener table displays critical information such as current price, trend direction, signal type, and premium/discount levels for each symbol. This makes it easier to track the market structure of various assets at a glance and quickly identify trading opportunities across different markets.
Example Strategies:
⚪ Trend Following: Use the indicator to identify the current market trend (bullish or bearish) and trade in the direction of the trend. Enter trades on pullbacks to premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) levels.
⚪ Reversal Trading: Look for ChoCH signals to identify potential trend reversals. Enter trades when the price breaks a significant high or low and confirms a change in market structure, or wait for a retest of the nearest Orderblock that was formed.
⚪ Support and Resistance: Utilize the mid-range, premium, and discount levels as support and resistance zones. Enter trades when the price approaches these levels and shows signs of reversal or continuation.
⚪ Multi-Symbol Analysis: Use the screener table to monitor multiple symbols and quickly assess their market structure. This helps in diversifying trading opportunities and managing a portfolio of assets efficiently.
█ Settings
Period: The pivot period for calculating the structure. Increasing the period captures broader trends, making the structure more representative of long-term movements. Decreasing the period focuses on shorter-term trends, increasing sensitivity.
Response: Enabling this option uses the response period instead of the pivot period, providing more flexibility in capturing short-term or long-term structures. The period for the response, which determines the structure's sensitivity. Increasing the response period smoothens the structure, making it less reactive to short-term fluctuations. Decreasing the response period makes the structure more responsive to short-term changes.
Structure Display: Choose between displaying the active range or the previous range. 'Active Range' shows real-time premium, discount, and mid-range levels based on the current structure. 'Previous Range' displays past ranges, useful for analyzing historical support/resistance levels.
Ticker Symbols: List of symbols to include in the screener. Enabling the option includes the symbol in the screener, allowing the user to track its structure. Disabling it excludes the symbol from the screener, reducing the number of tracked symbols.

Gator TailGator Tail
Building on Bill William’s Alligator, the Gator Tail provides the trader with a scaled value of deviation between the market price and the rolling average. Meant to be used as a trend reversal indicator, best results when combined with the Awesome Oscillator (AO).
Script Theory Basics
This script is based off of the Bill Williams Alligator indicator. In this indicator, the variance between the ‘jaw’ and the current price represents the deviation of price from its average. Using the alligator, the trader must identify this using their eye only. This script provides a numerical value, charted in histogram format like the Awesome Oscillator. Using the two in tandem allows the trader to identify reversal points and act on positions accordingly.
Script Technicalities
The Gator Tail value is derived as follows. To preface, the ‘jaw’ is a 13 period simple moving average, plotted 8 periods into the future on the chart. A calculation is performed on the ‘jaw’ value to extract its current value less the offset. This value is compared to the current price at the time of printing the equation. Price takes the hl2 value (high + low / 2). The variance between the two values is calculated by subtracting the jaw offset from the price value, and dividing this value by the offset value ( / jaw offset). This value prints as an absolute (irrespective of positive or negative) and gets plotted on the chart for the period. The range of values is 0.00 to 1.00.
Using Gator Tail
Any value above 0.20 is considered to be in the warning range. Values exceeding the 0.35-0.40 range are considered to be highly deviated. Highly deviated Gator Tail values combined with a color reversal from the AO indicate an entry/exit point in the chart.
Using the two indicators on top of one another provides an easy visual cue to identify market reversal points. In the example chart above, we can see the red arrows on the Gator Tail coinciding with the AO reversals to result in the chart movements in the candlestick pane.
Limitations
This indicator does not work well with cryptocurrencies (altcoins or otherwise). The prices in these markets have few ties to macroeconomic trends or performance of an underlying asset. When testing this script, it was not found to be a reliable predictor of market reversals. This script is meant to be used with standard equities (stocks, stock options, currencies) where markets follow a reasonable level of predictability and have some underlying tie to real world events and relativity to historical prices.

Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) Signals indicator, enhances the classic concept of moving averages by making them adaptive to the market's volatility. This adaptability makes the AMA particularly useful in identifying market trends with varying degrees of volatility.
The core of the AMA's adaptability lies in its Efficiency Ratio (ER), which measures the directionality of the market over a given period. The ER is calculated by dividing the absolute change in price over a period by the sum of the absolute differences in daily prices over the same period.
⚪ Why It's Useful
The AMA Signals indicator is particularly useful because of its adaptability to changing market conditions. Unlike static moving averages, it dynamically adjusts, providing more relevant signals that can help traders capture trends earlier or identify reversals with greater accuracy. Its configurability makes it suitable for various trading strategies and timeframes, from day trading to swing trading.
█ How It Works
The AMA Signals indicator operates on the principle of adapting to market efficiency through the calculation of the Efficiency Ratio (ER), which measures the directionality of the market over a specified period. By comparing the net price change to total price movements, the AMA adjusts its sensitivity, becoming faster during trending markets and slower during sideways markets. This adaptability is enhanced by a gamma parameter that filters signals for either trend continuation or reversal, making it versatile across different market conditions.
change = math.abs(close - close )
volatility = math.sum(math.abs(close - close ), n)
ER = change / volatility
Efficiency Ratio (ER) Calculation: The AMA begins with the computation of the Efficiency Ratio (ER), which measures the market's directionality over a specified period. The ER is a ratio of the net price change to the total price movements, serving as a measure of the efficiency of price movements.
Adaptive Smoothing: Based on the ER, the indicator calculates the smoothing constants for the fastest and slowest Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). These constants are then used to compute a Scaled Smoothing Coefficient (SC) that adapts the moving average to the market's efficiency, making it faster during trending periods and slower in sideways markets.
Signal Generation: The AMA applies a filter, adjusted by a "gamma" parameter, to identify trading signals. This gamma influences the sensitivity towards trend or reversal signals, with options to adjust for focusing on either trend-following or counter-trend signals.
█ How to Use
Trend Identification: Use the AMA to identify the direction of the trend. An upward moving AMA indicates a bullish trend, while a downward moving AMA suggests a bearish trend.
Trend Trading: Look for buy signals when the AMA is trending upwards and sell signals during a downward trend. Adjust the fast and slow EMA lengths to match the desired sensitivity and timeframe.
Reversal Trading: Set the gamma to a positive value to focus on reversal signals, identifying potential market turnarounds.
█ Settings
Period for ER calculation: Defines the lookback period for calculating the Efficiency Ratio, affecting how quickly the AMA responds to changes in market efficiency.
Fast EMA Length and Slow EMA Length: Determine the responsiveness of the AMA to recent price changes, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator to their trading style.
Signal Gamma: Adjusts the sensitivity of the filter applied to the AMA, with the ability to focus on trend signals or reversal signals based on its value.
AMA Candles: An innovative feature that plots candles based on the AMA calculation, providing visual cues about the market trend and potential reversals.
█ Alerts
The AMA Signals indicator includes configurable alerts for buy and sell signals, as well as positive and negative trend changes.
