Musashi_Katana=== Musashi-Katana ===
This tool was designed to fit my particular trading style and personal theories about the "Alchemy of the markets" and ''Harmonic Structure'.
Context
When following a Technical approach to to surf the markets, there are teachings that must be understood before reaching a confort-zone, this usually happen the possible worst way by constant experimentation, it hurts.
Here few technical hints:
- Align High timeframes with lower timeframes:
This simple concept relax a lot complexity of finding of a trend bias. Musashi-Katana allows you to use technical indicator corresponding to specific timeframes, like daily weekly or yearly. They wont change when you change the chart's timeframe, its very useful as you know where you're standing in the long term, Its quite relaxing.
- Use volume:
The constant usage of volume will allow you to sync with the market's breathing. This shows you the mass of money flowing into and out of the market, is key if you want to understand momentum. This tool can help here, as it have multi-period vwaps. You can use yearly, monthly for swing trading, and even weekly if you enjoy scalping.
Useful stuff:
- You have access to baselines, AMA and Kijun-sen with the possibility of adding ATR bands.
- AMAs come as two lines strategies for different approaches, fast medium or slow.
- You can experiment with normal and multi timeframe moving averages and other trend tools.
Final Note
If used correctly Musashi-Katana is a very powerful tool, which makes no sense as there is no correct usage. Don't add everything at the same time, experiment, combine stuff, every market is different.
Backtest every possible strategy before using it, see what works and doesn't. This gives you a lot of peace, specially while you're at the tip of the spear surfing the markets
--> I personally use this in combination with 'Musashi_Slasher (Mometum+Volatility)', as it gives me volatility and momentum in a very precise way.
Physics CandlesPhysics Candles embed volume and motion physics directly onto price candles or market internals according to the cyclic pattern of financial securities. The indicator works on both real-time “ticks” and historical data using statistical modeling to highlight when these values, like volume or momentum, is unusual or relatively high for some periodic window in time. Each candle is made out of one or more sub-candles that each contain their own information of motion, which converts to the color and transparency, or brightness, of that particular candle segment. The segments extend throughout the entire candle, both body and wicks, and Thick Wicks can be implemented to see the color coding better. This candle segmentation allows you to see if all the volume or energy is evenly distributed throughout the candle or highly contained in one small portion of it, and how intense these values are compared to similar time periods without going to lower time frames. Candle segmentation can also change a trader’s perspective on how valuable the information is. A “low” volume candle, for instance, could signify high value short-term stopping volume if the volume is all concentrated in one segment.
The Candles are flexible. The physics information embedded on the candles need not be from the same price security or market internal as the chart when using the Physics Source option, and multiple Candles can be overlayed together. You could embed stock price Candles with market volume, market price Candles with stock momentum, market structure with internal acceleration, stock price with stock force, etc. My particular use case is scalping the SPX futures market (ES), whose price action is also dictated by the volume action in the associated cash market, or SPY, as well as a host of other securities. Physics allows you to embed the ES volume on the SPY price action, or the SPY volume on the ES price action, or you can combine them both by overlaying two Candle streams and increasing the Number of Overlays option to two. That option decreases the transparency levels of your coloring scheme so that overlaying multiple Candles converges toward the same visual color intensity as if you had one. The Candle and Physics Sources allows for both Symbols and Spreads to visualize Candle physics from a single ticker or some mathematical transformation of tickers.
Due to certain TradingView programming restrictions, each Candle can only be made out of a maximum of 8 candle segments, or an “8-bit” resolution. Since limits are just an opportunity to go beyond, the user has the option to stack multiple Candle indicators together to further increase the candle resolution. If you don’t want to see the Candles for some particular period of the day, you can hide them, or use the hiding feature to have multiple Candles calibrated to show multiple parts of the trading day. Securities tend to have low volume after hours with sharp spikes at the open or close. Multiple Candles can be used for multiple parts of the trading day to accommodate these different cycles in volume.
The Candles do not need be associated with the nominal security listed on the TV chart. The Candle Source allows the user to look at AAPL Candles, for instance, while on a TSLA or SPY chart, each with their respective volume actions integrated into the candles, for instance, to allow the user to see multiple security price and volume correlation on a single chart.
The physics information currently embeddable on Candles are volume or time, velocity, momentum, acceleration, force, and kinetic energy. In order to apply equations of motion containing a mass variable to financial securities, some analogous value for mass must be assumed. Traders often regard volume or time as inextricable variables to a securities price that can indicate the direction and strength of a move. Since mass is the inextricable variable to calculating the momentum, force, or kinetic energy of motion, the user has the option to assume either time or volume is analogous to mass. Volume may be a better option for mass as it is not strictly dependent on the speed of a security, whereas time is.
Data transformations and outlier statistics are used to color code the intensity of the physics for each candle segment relative to past periodic behavior. A million shares during pre-market or a million shares during noontime may be more intense signals than a typical million shares traded at the open, and should have more intense color signals. To account for a specific cyclic behavior in the market, the user can specify the Window and Cycle Time Frames. The Window Time Frame splits up a Cycle into windows, samples and aggregates the statistics for each window, then compares the current physics values against past values in the same window. Intraday traders may benefit from using a Daily Cycle with a 30-minute Window Time Frame and 1-minute Sample Time Frame. These settings sample and compare the physics of 1-minute candles within the current 30-minute window to the same 30-minute window statistics for all past trading days, up until the data limit imposed by TradingView, or until the Data Collection Start Date specified in the settings. Longer-term traders may benefit from using a Monthly Cycle with a Weekly Time Frame, or a Yearly Cycle with a Quarterly Time Frame.
Multiple statistics and data transformation methods are available to convey relative intensity in different ways for different trading signals. Physics Candles allows for both Normal and Log-Normal assumptions in the physics distribution. The data can then be transformed by Linear, Logarithmic, Z-Score, or Power-Law scoring, where scoring simply assigns an intensity to the relative physics value of each candle segment based on some mathematical transformation. Z-scoring often renders adequate detection by scoring the segment value, such as volume or momentum, according to the mean and standard deviation of the data set in each window of the cycle. Logarithmic or power-law transformation with a gamma below 1 decreases the disparity between intensities so more less-important signals will show up, whereas the power-law transformation with gamma values above 1 increases the disparity between intensities, so less more-important signals will show up. These scores are then converted to color and transparency between the Min Score and the Max Score Cutoffs. The Auto-Normalization feature can automatically pick these cutoffs specific to each window based on the mean and standard deviation of the data set, or the user can manually set them. Physics was developed with novices in mind so that most users could calibrate their own settings by plotting the candle segment distributions directly on the chart and fiddling with the settings to see how different cutoffs capture different portions of the distribution and affect the relative color intensities differently. Security distributions are often skewed with fat-tails, known as kurtosis, where high-volume segments for example, have a higher-probabilities than expected for a normal distribution. These distribution are really log-normal, so that taking the logarithm leads to a standard bell-shaped distribution. Taking the Z-score of the Log-Normal distribution could make the most statistical sense, but color sensitivity is a discretionary preference.
Background Philosophy
This indicator was developed to study and trade the physics of motion in financial securities from a visually intuitive perspective. Newton’s laws of motion are loosely applied to financial motion:
“A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force”.
Financial securities remain at rest, or in motion at constant speed up or down, unless acted upon by the force of traders exchanging securities.
“When a body is acted upon by a force, the time rate of change of its momentum equals the force”.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and force is the product of mass and acceleration. Traders render force on the security through the mass of their trading activity and the acceleration of price movement.
“If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.”
Force arises from the interaction of traders, buyers and sellers. One body of motion, traders’ capitalization, exerts an equal and opposite force on another body of motion, the financial security. A securities movement arises at the expense of a buyer or seller’s capitalization.
Volume
The premise of this indicator assumes that volume, v, is an analogous means of measuring physical mass, m. This premise allows the application of the equations of motion to the movement of financial securities. We know from E=mc^2 that mass has energy. Energy can be used to create motion as kinetic energy. Taking a simple hypothetical example, the interaction of one short seller looking to cover lower and one buyer looking to sell higher exchange shares in a security at an agreed upon price to create volume or mass, and therefore, potential energy. Eventually the short seller will actively cover and buy the security from the previous buyer, moving the security higher, or the buyer will actively sell to the short seller, moving the security lower. The potential energy inherent in the initial consolidation or trading activity between buy and seller is now converted to kinetic energy on the subsequent trading activity that moves the securities price. The more potential energy that is created in the consolidation, the more kinetic energy there is to move price. This is why point and figure traders are said to give price targets based on the level of volatility or size of a consolidation range, or why Gann traders square price and time, as time is roughly proportional to mass and trading activity. The build-up of potential energy between short sellers and buyers in GME or TSLA led to their explosive moves beyond their standard fundamental valuations.
Position
Position, p, is simply the price or value of a financial security or market internal.
Time
Time, t, is another means of measuring mass to discover price behavior beyond the time snapshots that simple candle charts provide. We know from E=mc^2 that time is related to rest mass and energy given the speed of light, c, where time ≈ distance * sqrt(mass/E). This relation can also be derived from F=ma. The more mass there is, the longer it takes to compute the physics of a system. The more energy there is, the shorter it takes to compute the physics of a system. Similarly, more time is required to build a “resting” low-volatility trading consolidation with more mass. More energy added to that trading consolidation by competing buyers and sellers decreases the time it takes to build that same mass. Time is also related to price through velocity.
Velocity = (p(t1) – p(t0)) / p(t0)
Velocity, v, is the relative percent change of a securities price, p, over a period of time, t0 to t1. The period of time is between subsequent candles, and since time is constant between candles within the same timeframe, it is not used to calculate velocity or acceleration. Price moves faster with higher velocity, and slower with slower velocity, over the same fixed period of time. The product of velocity and mass gives momentum.
Momentum = mv
This indicator uses physics definition of momentum, not finance’s. In finance, momentum is defined as the amount of change in a securities price, either relative or absolute. This is definition is unfortunate, pun intended, since a one dollar move in a security from a thousand shares traded between a few traders has the exact same “momentum” as a one dollar move from millions of shares traded between hundreds of traders with everything else equal. If momentum is related to the energy of the move, momentum should consider both the level of activity in a price move, and the amount of that price move. If we equate mass to volume to account for the level of trading activity and use physics definition of momentum as the product of mass and velocity, this revised definition now gives a thousand-times more momentum to a one-dollar price move that has a thousand-times more volume behind it. If you want to use finance’s volume-less definition of momentum, use velocity in this indicator.
Acceleration = v(t1) – v(t0)
Acceleration, a, is the difference between velocities over some period of time, t0 to t1. Positive acceleration is necessary to increase a securities speed in the positive direction, while negative acceleration is necessary to decrease it. Acceleration is related to force by mass.
Force = ma
Force is required to change the speed of a securities valuation. Price movements with considerable force have considerably more impact on future direction. A change in direction requires force.
Kinetic Energy = 0.5mv^2
Kinetic energy is the energy that a financial security gains from the change in its velocity by force. The built-up of potential energy in trading consolidations can be converted to kinetic energy on a breakout from the consolidation.
Cycle Theory and Relativity
Just as the physics of motion is relative to a point of reference, so too should the physics of financial securities be relative to a point of reference. An object moving at a 100 mph towards another object moving in the same direction at 100 mph will not appear to be moving relative to each other, nor will they collide, but from an outsider observer, the objects are going 100 mph and will collide with significant impact if they run into a stationary object relative to the observer. Similarly, trading with a hundred thousand shares at the open when the average volume is a couple million may have a much smaller impact on the price compared to trading a hundred thousand shares pre-market when the average volume is ten thousand shares. The point of reference used in this indicator is the average statistics collected for a given Window Time Frame for every Cycle Time Frame. The physics values are normalized relative to these statistics.
Examples
The main chart of this publication shows the Force Candles for the SPY. An intense force candle is observed pre-market that implicates the directional overtone of the day. The assumption that direction should follow force arises from physical observation. If a large object is accelerating intensely in a particular direction, it may be fair to assume that the object continues its direction for the time being unless acted upon by another force.
The second example shows a similar Force Candle for the SPY that counters the assumption made in the first example and emphasizes the importance of both motion and context. While it’s fair to assume that a heavy highly accelerating object should continue its course, if that object runs into an obstacle, say a brick wall, it’s course may deviate. This example shows SPY running into the 50% retracement wall from the low of Mar 2020, a significant support level noted in literature. The example also conveys Gann’s idea of “lost motion”, where the SPY penetrated the 50% price but did not break through it. A brick wall is not one atom thick and price support is not one tick thick. An object can penetrate only one layer of a wall and not go through it.
The third example shows how Volume Candles can be used to identify scalping opportunities on the SPY and conveys why price behavior is as important as motion and context. It doesn’t take a brick wall to impede direction if you know that the person driving the car tends to forget to feed the cats before they leave. In the chart below, the SPY breaks down to a confluence of the 5-day SMA, 20-day SMA, and an important daily trendline (not shown) after the bullish bounce from the 50% retracement days earlier. High volume candles on the SMA signify stopping volume that reverse price direction. The character of the day changes. Bulls become more aggressive than bears with higher volume on upswings and resistance, whiles bears take on a defensive position with lower volume on downswings and support. High volume stopping candles are seen after rallies, and can tell you when to take profit, get out of a position, or go short. The character change can indicate that its relatively safe to re-enter bullish positions on many major supports, especially given the overarching bullish theme from the large reaction off the 50% retracement level.
The last example emphasizes the importance of relativity. The Volume Candles in the chart below are brightest pre-market even though the open has much higher volume since the pre-market activity is much higher compared to past pre-markets than the open is compared to past opens. Pre-market behavior is a good indicator for the character of the day. These bullish Volume Candles are some of the brightest seen since the bounce off the 50% retracement and indicates that bulls are making a relatively greater attempt to bring the SPY higher at the start of the day.
Infrequently Asked Questions
Where do I start?
The default settings are what I use to scalp the SPY throughout most of the extended trading day, on a one-minute chart using SPY volume. I also overlay another Candle set containing ES future volume on the SPY price structure by setting the Physics Source to ES1! and the Number of Overlays setting to 2 for each Candle stream in order to account for pre- and post-market trading activity better. Since the closing volume is exponential-like up until the end of the regular trading day, adding additional Candle streams with a tighter Window Time Frame (e.g., 2-5 minute) in the last 15 minutes of trading can be beneficial. The Hide feature can allow you to set certain intraday timeframes to hide one Candle set in order to show another Candle set during that time.
How crazy can you get with this indicator?
I hope you can answer this question better. One interesting use case is embedding the velocity of market volume onto an internal market structure. The PCTABOVEVWAP.US is a market statistic that indicates the percent of securities above their VWAP among US stocks and is helpful for determining short term trends in the US market. When securities are rising above their VWAP, the average long is up on the day and a rising PCTABOVEVWAP.US can be viewed as more bullish. When securities are falling below their VWAP, the average short is up on the day and a falling PCTABOVEVWAP.US can be viewed as more bearish. (UPVOL.US - DNVOL.US) / TVOL.US is a “spread” symbol, in TV parlance, that indicates the decimal percent difference between advancing volume and declining volume in the US market, showing the relative flow of volume between stocks that are up on the day, and stocks that are down on the day. Setting PCTABOVEVWAP.US in the Candle Source, (UPVOL.US - DNVOL.US) / TVOL.US in the Physics Source, and selecting the Physics to Velocity will embed the relative velocity of the spread symbol onto the PCTABOVEVWAP.US candles. This can be helpful in seeing short term trends in the US market that have an increasing amount of volume behind them compared to other trends. The chart below shows Volume Candles (top) and these Spread Candles (bottom). The first top at 9:30 and second top at 10:30, the high of the day, break down when the spread candles light up, showing a high velocity volume transfer from up stocks to down stocks.
How do I plot the indicator distribution and why should I even care?
The distribution is visually helpful in seeing how different normalization settings effect the distribution of candle segments. It is also helpful in seeing what physics intensities you want to ignore or show by segmenting part of the distribution within the Min and Max Cutoff values. The intensity of color is proportional to the physics value between the Min and Max Cutoff values, which correspond to the Min and Max Colors in your color scheme. Any physics value outside these Min and Max Cutoffs will be the same as the Min and Max Colors.
Select the Print Windows feature to show the window numbers according to the Cycle Time Frame and Window Time Frame settings. The window numbers are labeled at the start of each window and are candle width in size, so you may need to zoom into to see them. Selecting the Plot Window feature and input the window number of interest to shows the distribution of physics values for that particular window along with some statistics.
A log-normal volume distribution of segmented z-scores is shown below for 30-minute opening of the SPY. The Min and Max Cutoff at the top of the graph contain the part of the distribution whose intensities will be linearly color-coded between the Min and Max Colors of the color scheme. The part of the distribution below the Min Cutoff will be treated as lowest quality signals and set to the Min Color, while the few segments above the Max Cutoff will be treated as the highest quality signals and set to the Max Color.
What do I do if I don’t see anything?
Troubleshooting issues with this indicator can involve checking for error messages shown near the indicator name on the chart or using the Data Validation section to evaluate the statistics and normalization cutoffs. For example, if the Plot Window number is set to a window number that doesn’t exist, an error message will tell you and you won’t see any candles. You can use the Print Windows option to show windows that do exist for you current settings. The auto-normalization cutoff values may be inappropriate for your particular use case and literally cut the candles out of the chart. Try changing the chart time frame to see if they are appropriate for your cycle, sample and window time frames. If you get a “Timeframe passed to the request.security_lower_tf() function must be lower than the timeframe of the main chart” error, this means that the chart timeframe should be increased above the sample time frame. If you get a “Symbol resolve error”, ensure that you have correct symbol or spread in the Candle or Physics Source.
How do I see a relative physics values without cycles?
Set the Window Time Frame to be equal to the Cycle Time Frame. This will aggregate all the statistics into one bucket and show the physics values, such as volume, relative to all the past volumes that TV will allow.
How do I see candles without segmentation?
Segmentation can be very helpful in one context or annoying in another. Segmentation can be removed by setting the candle resolution value to 1.
Notes
I have yet to find a trading platform that consistently provides accurate real-time volume and pricing information, lacking adequate end-user data validation or quality control. I can provide plenty of examples of real-time volume counts or prices provided by TradingView and other platforms that were significantly off from what they should have been when comparing against the exchanges own data, and later retroactively corrected or not corrected at all. Since no indicator can work accurately with inaccurate data, please use at your own discretion.
The first version is a beta version. Debugging and validating code in Pine script is difficult without proper unit testing. Please report any bugs with enough information to reproduce them and indicate why they are important. I also encourage you to export the data from TradingView and verify the calculations for your particular use case.
The indicator works on real-time updates that occur at a higher frequency than the candle time frame, which TV incorrectly refers to as ticks. They use this terminology inaccurately as updates are really aggregated tick data that can take place at different prices and may not accurately reflect the real tick price action. Consequently, this inaccuracy also impacts the real-time segmentation accuracy to some degree. TV does not provide a means of retaining “tick” information, so the higher granularity of information seen real-time will be lost on a disconnect.
TV does not provide time and sales information. The volume and price information collected using the Sample Time Frame is intraday, which provides only part of the picture. Intraday volume is generally 50 to 80% of the end of day volume. Consequently, the daily+ OHLC prices are intraday, and may differ significantly from exchanged settled OHLC prices.
The Cycle and Window Time Frames refer to calendar days and time, not trading days or time. For example, the first window week of a monthly cycle is the first seven days of the month, not the first Monday through Friday of trading for the month.
Chart Time Frames that are higher than the Window Time Frames average the normalized physics for price action that occurred within a given Candle segment. It does not average price action that did not occur.
One of the main performance bottleneck in TradingView’s Pine Script is client-side drawing and plotting. The performance of this indicator can be increased by lowering the resolution (the number of sub-candles this indicator plots), getting a faster computer, or increasing the performance of your computer like plugging your laptop in and eliminating unnecessary processes.
The statistical integrity of this indicator relies on the number of samples collected per sample window in a given cycle. Higher sample counts can be obtained by increasing the chart time frame or upgrading the TradingView plan for a higher bar count. While increasing the chart time frame doesn’t increase the visual number of bars plotted on the chart, it does increase the number of bars that can be pulled at a lower time frame, up to 100,000.
Due to a limitation in Pine Scripts request_lower_tf() function, using a spread symbol will only work for regular trading hours, not extended trading hours.
Ideally, velocity or momentum should be calculated between candle closes. To eliminate the need to deal with price gaps that would lead to an incorrect statistical distributions, momentum is calculated between candle open and closes as a percent change of the price or value, which should not be an issue for most liquid securities.

Super scalpThis is scalp strategy based on the confluence of 3 indicators
ema 9 , supertrend and vwap
when supertrend buy signal is generated and the price is above ema and vwap scalp buy signal is generated
when supertrend sell signal is generated and the price is below ema and vwap scalp sell signal is generated
Bogdan Ciocoiu - Looking Glass► Description
The script shows a multi-timeline suite of information for the current ticker. This information refers to configurable moving averages, RSI, Stochastic RSI, VWAP and TSI data. The timeframes reflected in the script vary from 1m to 1h. I recommend the tool for 3m scalping as it provides good visibility upwards.
The headings from the table are:
{Close} - {MA1}
{Close} - {MA2}
{Close} - {MA3}
{MA1} - {MA2}
{MA2} - {MA3}
{RSI}
{Stoch RSI K}
{Stoch RSI D}
{VWAP}
{TSI}
{TSI EMA}
{TSI} - {TSI EMA}
► Originality and usefulness
This tool is helpful because it helps users read a chart much quicker than if they were to navigate between timeframes. The colour coding indicates an accident/descendant trend between any two values (i.e. close vs MA1, MA1-MA2, RSI K vs RSI D, etc.).

WaveTrend 4h/24mWaveTrend 4h/24m is a trading tool based on two WaveTrend timeframes.
For this script the WaveTrend calculations made by LazyBear were used. WaveTrend is a widely used indicator for finding direction of an asset.
The strategy is developed by Youtuber Jayson Casper. The main strategy on the 4 hour and 24 minute timeframes, this will be the default timeframes. Timeframes can be adjusted in the indicator interface.
With Jaysons' we wait for both timeframes to have last printed a green dot for longs, and both timeframes to have last printed a red dot for shorts. When this occurs a green diamond will be printed for longs, a red diamond for shorts.
Make sure to always use the chart from the smallest timeframe you're using, so by defaults use the 24 minute chart.
Features of the indicator:
- WaveTrend Timeframe 1 (Blue/Lightblue wave).
- WaveTrend Timeframe 2 (Blue/Purple line with filled background between the lines).
- VWAP (Yellow wave which is turned off by default)
- Green/Red Diamonds
What to look for?
This script is all about the Green and Red Diamonds.
A Green diamond will be printed when on both the 4 hour and 24 minute timeframe the last printed dot was a green dot.
A Red diamond will be printed when on both the 4 hour and 24 minute timeframe the last printed dot was a red dot.
What are the Green and Red Diamonds based on?
When both VWAP timeframes are ABOVE 0, a green diamond will be printed. This is equivalent to the last dot on both WaveTrend timeframes being a green dot.
When both VWAP timeframes are BELOW 0, a red diamond will be printed. This is equivalent to the last dot on both WaveTrend timeframes being a red dot.
Happy Trading!
PROFIT INDICATORFirst let me tell you which indicators have been used in this script so that you have the confidence while taking the trade:
(a) Bollinger Band with 20 SMA Inside it - Currently it is off, you can turn it on from settings.
(b) HMA 33, I have added the option of using two HMA's simultaneously. You can use HMA, EMA, SMA as per your settings and it would be color trending.
(c) VWAP- you can turn it on from settings
(d) CPR- you can turn it on from settings
(e) EMA's 20, 50, 200. Currently off, you can turn it on from settings.
(d) SMA's 50 and 200. Currently off, yu can turn it on from settings, if you want to use 20 SMA you can use bollinger band basis that is 20 period SMA.
(f) Trend bar at bottom on the basis of 50 EMA.
(g) Half Trend
(h) Trend strength Detector
(d) EMA 50 high and low to show the pac channel. I am not using this however as per request I have added this. Currently, it is trun on and you can turn it off from settings.
(f) Auto Fib levels
Please use a stick note for few days and mention imp notes before taking trade to check if all the conditions are matching to take the trade.
Buy Condition:-
1. Bolling band should be widely open.
2. Check the support and resistance from CPR. Candle should close above support in green.
3. Check the trend bar at bottom, it should be green, if it is grey in colour dont enter in trade.
4. Candle should be closing above EMA 50 and its upto you if you need additional confirmation, you can use EMA 20, 50, 200 and SMA 50 and 200, this is optional.
5. You can use VWAP as support or resistance and you can turn it on from settings.
6. Trending HMA of 33 should be in green for buy.
7. Half trend Indicator should give buy signal.
8. Trend Strength Indicator for checking the strength of the trend, if the arrow is big upside, you can go for buy.
9. Exit from buy trade when it start showing very small arrow which means trend is about to change.
10.Exit buy trade at 61.8 Fib level
Sell Condition:-
1. Bolling band should be widely open.

Parameters
Parameter Description
source the series of values to process. The default is to use the closing price to calculate the moving average.
length an integer value that defines the number of bars to calculate the moving average on. The SWMA and VWAP do not use this parameter.
ALMA offset a floating-point value that controls the tradeoff between smoothness (with a value closer to 1) and responsiveness (with a value closer to 0). This parameter is only used by ALMA.
ALMA sigma a floating-point value that specifies the ALMA’s smoothness. The larger this value, the smoother the moving average is. This parameter is only used by ALMA.
I'm not sure if it is needed, so I do not let the three Moving Averages of the script to have indivial algorithm setting. Because that will involve much complicated condition testing and use up more TradingView script lines limit. If you need to combine different algorithms in the three sets of moving averages, or have other ideas, leave a message to let me know; maybe I will try it in the next update.
我不確定是否需要，所以我沒有讓腳本的三組移動平均線有各別的算法設置。因為這將涉及更多複雜的條件測試，並使用更多 TradingView 腳本列數限制。如果您需要在三組均線中組合不同的算法，或者有其他想法，請留言告訴我；也許我會在下一次更新中嘗試。
Exponential moving averages Convergence to identify Strength of Exponential moving averages Convergence to identify Strength of the stock.
Description:
This script is developed to find Convergences for many indicators. It analyses Convergences of 20days, 50days, 100days, 150days and 200days exponential moving averages. When all the plotted lines are converged and Price of stock is above the Convergence the stock is bullish, similarly if the price of the stock is below the convergence stock is bearish.
This indicator gives you VWAP and EMA’s for convergence along with Bollinger Bands.
VWAP and Bollinger bands and EMA’s can be altered as you required.
In settings menu we can enable and disable VWAP, EMA’S & Bollinger bands and in style menu even we can choose required EMA
It helps for convergence.
TWAP TrendHere we are experimenting with using TWAP for trend analysis. It appears to work better than VWAP on lower timeframes.
TWAP is a tool used by algorithm based traders that allows them to distribute their orders throughout the day without disturbing price or having their positions known to rival traders in the market. It's similar to VWAP and serves the same function, except it lacks the volume aspect. This can be an issue when position entry/exit may be affected by slippage.
The main benefit of TWAP is deciding how to distribute orders throughout the chosen timeframe. However, just like the VWAP traders will normally use it as a moving average or target for price action to pull into.
There is an option to change the timeframe that TWAP is calculated from.

Non Parametric Adaptive Moving AverageIntroduction
Not be confused with non-parametric statistics, i define a "non-parametric" indicator as an indicator who does not have any parameter input. Such indicators can be useful since they don't need to go through parameter optimization. I present here a non parametric adaptive moving average based on exponential averaging using a modified ratio of open-close to high-low range indicator as smoothing variable.
The Indicator
The ratio of open-close to high-low range is a measurement involving calculating the ratio between the absolute close/open price difference and the range (high - low) , now the relationship between high/low and open/close price has been studied in econometrics for some time but there are no reason that the ohlc range ratio may be an indicator of volatility, however we can make the hypothesis that trending markets contain less indecision than ranging market and that indecision is measured by the high/low movements, this is an idea that i've heard various time.
Since the range is always greater than the absolute close/open difference we have a scaled smoothing variable in a range of 0/1, this allow to perform exponential averaging. The ratio of open-close to high-low range is calculated using the vwap of the close/high/low/open price in order to increase the smoothing effect. The vwap tend to smooth more with low time frames than higher ones, since the indicator use vwap for the calculation of its smoothing variable, smoothing may differ depending on the time frame you are in.
1 minute tf
1 hour tf
Conclusion
Making non parametric indicators is quite efficient, but they wont necessarily outperform classical parametric indicators. I also presented a modified version of the ratio of open-close to high-low range who can provide a smoothing variable for exponential averaging. I hope the indicator can help you in any way.

Relative Directional Index (RDI)🔍 Overview
The Relative Directional Index (RDI) is a hybrid tool that fuses the Average Directional and the Relative Strength Indices (ADX and RSI) into a single, highly visual interface. While the former captures trend strength, the latter reveals momentum shifts and potential exhaustion. Together, they can confirm trend structure, anticipate reversals, and sharpen the timing entries and exits.
📌 Why Combine ADX with RSI?
Most indicators focus on either trend-following (like ADX) or momentum detection (like RSI)—but rarely both. Each comes with trade-offs:
- ADX alone confirms trend strength but ignores momentum.
- RSI alone signals overbought/oversold, but lacks trend context.
The RDI resolves this by integrating both, offering:
- Smarter filters for trend entries
- Early warnings of momentum breakdowns
- More confident signal validation
🧠 Design Note: Fibonacci Harmony
All default values—5, 13, 21—are Fibonacci numbers. This is intentional, as these values reflect the natural rhythm of market cycles, and promote harmonic calibration between price action and indicator logic.
🔥 Key Features
✅ ADX Histogram
- Green bars = trend gaining strength
- Red bars = trend weakening
- Adjustable transparency for visual tuning
✅ ADX Line (Orange)
- Measures trend strength over time
- Rising = accelerating trend
- Falling = trend may be fading
✅ RSI Line (Lemon Yellow)
- Captures momentum surges and slowdowns
- Above 50 = bullish control
- Below 50 = bearish pressure
✅ Trend Strength Squares
- Bright green = strong uptrend
- Bright red = strong downtrend
- Faded colors = range-bound or indecisive
✅ ADX/RSI Crossover Markers
- Yellow square = RSI crosses above ADX → momentum building
- Orange square = ADX crosses above RSI → trend still dominant
✅ Customizable Reference Lines
- Yellow (50) = strong trend threshold
- Red (30) = weak trend zone
- Green (70) = overextended, potential exhaustion
_______________________________________________________
🎯 How to Trade with the RDI
The RDI helps traders identify momentum-supported trends, catch early reversals, and avoid false signals during consolidation.
✅ Trend Confirmation Entries
🔼 Bullish → Enter long on pullbacks or resistance breakouts
- ADX rising above 30
- RSI above 50
- Green trend square visible
🔽 Bearish → Enter short on breakdowns or failed retests
- ADX rising
- RSI below 50
- Red trend square visible
🧯 Exit if RSI crosses back against trend direction or ADX flattens
🚨 Reversal Setups Using Divergence
📈 Bullish Divergence → Long entry after confirmation (e.g. engulfing bar, volume spike)
- Price prints lower low
- RSI prints higher low
- Green triangle
📉 Bearish Divergence → Short entry on breakdown
- Price prints higher high
- RSI prints lower high
- Red triangle
Tip: Stronger if ADX is declining (fading trend strength)
🔂 Breakout Detection via Cross Markers
- Yellow square = RSI > ADX → breakout brewing
- Orange square = ADX > RSI → trend continuation likely
⏸️ Avoid Choppy Markets
- RSI between 45–55
- Faded trend squares
- Flat ADX below 20–30
🧠 Pro Tips
- Combine RDI with VWAPs, moving averages and/or pitchforks
- Watch for alignment between trend and momentum
- Use divergence markers as confirmation, not stand-alone triggers
_______________________________________________________
⚠️ Hidden Divergence (Optional)
The RDI includes optional hidden divergence detection. These signals suggest trend continuation but are off by default. Use with discretion—best in established trends, not sideways markets.
🙈 Hidden Bullish
- Price prints higher low
- RSI prints lower low
🙈 Hidden Bearish
- Price prints lower high
- RSI prints higher high
Supply & Demand Zones
_____________________________________________________________________
Supply and Demand Zones
This indicator displays valid Supply and Demand zones on any chart and timeframe, using dynamically updating visuals. Users can see the moment that zones become validated, used, and then invalidated during live sessions. It is sleek, lightweight, and offers a feature-rich settings panel that allows customization of how each element appears and functions. Zones can enhance the probability of successful trades by locating areas that are most likely to contain resting orders of Supply or Demand, which are needed for price reversals.
Disclaimer
____________________
Like all indicators, this can be a valuable tool when incorporated into a comprehensive, risk-based trading system.
Supply and Demand is not the same thing as Support and Resistance.
Trading based on price hitting a zone without understanding which zones are of higher quality and which are of lower quality (only discernible with a trained human eye) will yield poor results.
Supply and Demand works well as a system and even better when added to an existing one. However, like all effective trading techniques, it requires diligent study, practice, and repetition to become proficient. This is an indicator for use with Supply and Demand concepts, not a replacement for learning them.
Features
____________________
Once a valid candle sequence is confirmed, a box will appear that displays the zone over the precise zone range. At 50% zone penetration, a zone becomes used , and at 100% it becomes invalidated . Each of these zone classifications changes the behavior of the zone on the chart immediately. The settings panel offers custom colors for Supply , Demand , Used , and Invalidated zone types.
Borders : The subtle border colors can be changed or hidden.
Boxes or Bases : Advanced users can opt to hide zone boxes and instead display small, subtle tags over base candle groups. This allows for more customizable selection over what is displayed and how.
Max Zones and Hide Invalidated :
There are limitations on how many objects TradingView allows at once. Because of this, once zones go from used to invalidated , they are hidden (deleted) by default. This allows the zones index to be allocated to display more valid , usable zones instead. If a user prefers to keep invalidated zones visible, they can be enabled; however, this will result in showing more recent zones for fewer historical zones.
All zones share one pool, so if you allow fifty max zones, forty-five might be supply while five might be demand on a big sell-off trend. You will always see the most recent zones, regardless of type or status.
It’s up to you how much clutter you want on your screen and how much improved load time you want - but once loaded, zone creation and function are always instantaneous.
Load Time
____________________
Load time refers to the time it takes from when you switch tickers or timeframes before the zones are displayed initially. There is zero lag in the dynamic function and minimal load time, regardless of settings. However, if you are a fine-tuner or multi-screener, the number of Max Zones displayed is the only major variable affecting load time.
I run everything at Max when I develop. When I trade, I run mine at 25 max zones because I change timeframes often and want a very quick display of zones when I do. I have invalidated hidden, and simply enable it if I want to check an old zone. This gives me more zones than I need and reduces the load time to right where I like it.
Thresholds
____________________
It is recommended to leave these as the default.
Base Body Threshold : Determines the maximum ratio of a candle’s body to wick before invalidation. Default (50% or 0.5). A higher number loosens thresholds, resulting in more zones being displayed.
Unrequire 2nd FT if LO is Strong & Strength Multiplier :
The standard logic sequence requires two Follow-Through candles. Under some strong price movement, Leg-Out candles can make an explosive directional move from a base, making a convincing argument for supply and demand perfectly at work, if not for a single Follow-Through candle instead of two.
By enabling this feature, you can tell the script to ignore second Follow-Through candles, if and only if, the Leg-Out candle's range is (Strength) X the base range. exceeds the range of the Base by a factor of X (Strength). ie: At 5x, this would require a Leg-Out range to be 500% the range of the Base.
If enabled and the Leg-Out is not strong enough, the default logic kicks in, and a second follow-through candle will validate the zone as per usual. This loosens thresholds overall and should result in more zones.
Recommended Usage
____________________
Form a thesis using your primary trend trading system (eg: Elliott Wave, Structure Reversal, TheStrat, et al) to identify locations of a pullback for a long or short entry.
Identify a pullback area using your system, then use this indicator to find a high-quality zone on your chosen timeframe.
Once located, draw your own channel over the indicator's zone box. Start on 1m, check for zones, 2m, 3m, and so on. When you see a zone you like, recreate it; thus, when finished, you can see every timeframe’s highest-quality zones that you created, regardless of what timeframe you switch to. Tip: Be selective
To make the process faster, save a channel design in settings for “Demand” and one for “Supply”, then you can quickly get through this process in less than a minute with practice.
Optional: Use additional methods (eg: Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Wave Theory, Anchored VWAPs) to find congruent confirmation.
Version 1.0
____________________
No known bugs remain from the closed beta.
In Development
____________________
Powerful combination zones occur when standard zone sequences are extended with additional levels of demand or supply by adding more conditionals to the state machine logic. Got this mostly working in a dev version and it adds minimal extra resources. Set aside to polish a clean standard 1.0 for release first, but now displaying these extended zones is my top priority for next version.
MTF support is essentially working in a dev copy, but adds resources. Not sure if it is in the spirit of price action being the primary focus of a chart for serious traders, rather than indicators. If there is demand for it, I'll consider it.
Additional Threshold Settings

CPR by NKDCentral Pivot Range (CPR) Trading Strategy:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a widely-used tool in technical analysis, helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance levels in the market. By using the CPR effectively, traders can better gauge market trends and determine favorable entry and exit points. This guide explores how the CPR works, outlines its calculation, and describes how traders can enhance their strategies using an extended 10-line version of CPR.
What Really Central Pivot Range (CPR) is?
At its core, the CPR consists of three key lines:
Pivot Point (PP) – The central line, calculated as the average of the previous day’s high, low, and closing prices.
Upper Range (R1) – Positioned above the Pivot Point, acting as a potential ceiling where price may face resistance.
Lower Range (S1) – Found below the Pivot Point, serving as a potential floor where price might find support.
Advanced traders often expand on the traditional three-line CPR by adding extra levels above and below the pivot, creating up to a 10-line system. This extended CPR allows for a more nuanced understanding of the market and helps identify more detailed trading opportunities.
Applying CPR for Trading Success
1. How CPR is Calculation
The CPR relies on the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices to create its structure:
Pivot Point (PP) = (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1) = (2 * PP) - L
First Support (S1) = (2 * PP) - H
Additional resistance levels (R2, R3) and support levels (S2, S3) are calculated by adding or subtracting multiples of the previous day’s price range (H - L) from the Pivot Point.
2. Recognizing the Market Trend
To effectively trade using CPR, it’s essential to first determine whether the market is trending up (bullish) or down (bearish). In an upward-trending market, traders focus on buying at support levels, while in a downward market, they look to sell near resistance.
3. Finding Ideal Entry Points
Traders often look to enter trades when price approaches key levels within the CPR range. Support levels (S1, S2) offer buying opportunities, while resistance levels (R1, R2) provide selling opportunities. These points are considered potential reversal zones, where price may bounce or reverse direction.
4. Managing Risk with Stop-Loss Orders
Proper risk management is crucial in any trading strategy. A stop-loss should be set slightly beyond the support level for buy positions and above the resistance level for sell positions, ensuring that losses are contained if the market moves against the trader’s position.
5. Determining Profit Targets
Profit targets are typically set based on the distance between entry points and the next support or resistance level. Many traders apply a risk-reward ratio, aiming for larger potential profits compared to the potential losses. However, if the next resistance and support level is far then middle levels are used for targets (i.e. 50% of R1 and R2)
6. Confirmation Through Other Indicators
While CPR provides strong support and resistance levels, traders often use additional indicators to confirm potential trade setups. Indicators such as moving averages can
help validate the signals provided by the CPR.
7. Monitoring Price Action At CPR Levels
Constantly monitoring price movement near CPR levels is essential. If the price fails to break through a resistance level (R1) or holds firm at support (S1), it can offer cues on when to exit or adjust a trade. However, a strong price break past these levels often signals a continued trend.
8. Trading Breakouts with CPR
When the price breaks above resistance or below support with strong momentum, it may signal a potential breakout. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering positions in the direction of the breakout, ideally confirmed by volume or other technical indicators.
9. Adapting to Changing Market Conditions
CPR should be used in the context of broader market influences, such as economic reports, news events, or geopolitical shifts. These factors can dramatically affect market direction and how price reacts to CPR levels, making it important to stay informed about external market conditions.
10. Practice and Backtesting for Improvements
Like any trading tool, the CPR requires practice. Traders are encouraged to backtest their strategies on historical price data to get a better sense of how CPR works in different market environments. Continuous analysis and practice help improve decision-making and strategy refinement.
The Advantages of Using a 10-Line CPR System
An extended 10-line CPR system—comprising up to five resistance and five support levels—provides more granular control and insight into market movements. This expanded view helps traders better gauge trends and identify more opportunities for entry and exit. Key benefits include:
R2, S2 Levels: These act as secondary resistance or support zones, giving traders additional opportunities to refine their trade entries and exits.
R3, S3 Levels: Provide an even wider range for identifying reversals or trend continuations in more volatile markets.
Flexibility: The broader range of levels allows traders to adapt to changing market conditions and make more precise decisions based on market momentum.
So in Essential:
The Central Pivot Range is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify critical price levels in the market. By providing a clear framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones, it helps traders make informed decisions about entering and exiting trades. However, it’s important to combine CPR with sound risk management and additional confirmation through other technical indicators for the best results.
Although no trading tool guarantees success, the CPR, when used effectively and combined with practice, can significantly enhance a trader’s ability to navigate market fluctuations.
multi-tf standard devs [keypoems]Multi-Timeframe Standard Deviations Levels
A visual map of “how far is too far” across any three higher time-frames.
1. What it does
This script plots dynamic price “rails” built from standard deviation (StDev)—the same math that underpins the bell curve—on up to three higher-time-frames (HTFs) at once.
• It measures the volatility of intraday open-to-close increments, reaching back as far as 5000 bars (≈ 20 years on daily data).
• Each HTF can be extended to the next session or truncated at session close for tidy dashboards.
• Lines can be mirrored so you see symmetric positive/negative bands, and optional background fills shade the “probability cone.”
Because ≈ 68 % of moves live inside ±1 StDev, ≈ 95 % inside ±2, and ≈ 99.7 % inside ±3, the plot instantly shows when price is statistically stretched or compressed.
3. Key settings
Higher Time-Frame #1-3 Turn each HTF on/off, pick the interval (anything from 1 min to 1 year), and decide whether lines should extend into the next period.
Show levels for last X days Keep your chart clean by limiting how many historical sessions are displayed (1-50).
Based on last X periods Length of the StDev sample. Long look-backs (e.g. 5 000) iron-out day-to-day noise; short look-backs make the bands flex with recent volatility.
Fib Settings Toggle each multiple, line thickness/style/colour, label size, whether to print the numeric level, the live price, the HTF label, and whether to tint the background (choose your own opacity).
4. Under-the-hood notes
StDev is calculated on (close – open) / open rather than absolute prices, making the band width scale-agnostic.
Watch for tests of ±1:
Momentum traders ride the breakout with a target at the next band.
Mean-reversion traders wait for the first stall candle and trade back to zero line or VWAP.
Bottom line: Multi-Timeframe Standard-Deviations turns raw volatility math into an intuitive “price terrain map,” helping you instantly judge whether a move is ordinary, stretched, or extreme—across the time-frames that matter to you.

CPR-Based Fib S/R with Circles by Arthavidhi📌 **CPR-Based Fibonacci S/R with Circles – Description**
This indicator combines the power of **CPR (Central Pivot Range)** and **Fibonacci ratios** to plot highly probable intraday and swing Support/Resistance levels derived from the **daily price structure**.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
* It uses the **Daily High, Low, and Close** to calculate the **Pivot Point** (P) as:
`P = (High + Low + Close) / 3`
* Then it calculates the **daily range**:
`Range = High - Low`
* Using this pivot and range, it derives both **Fibonacci-based Support and Resistance levels**:
* **Support levels** at: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, 1.618 below pivot
* **Resistance levels** at: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, 1.618 above pivot
These are **plotted as small colored circles** on your chart, with **labels on the left** for easy identification of each Fib level (e.g., "0.382", "1.618").
---
### 📈 **How to Use It**
🔹 **Intraday or Swing Traders**:
* Use these levels to **anticipate reversals**, **breakouts**, or **targets**.
* The levels act like a **natural price magnet** — price tends to pause, bounce, or reverse near them.
🔹 **Entry/Exit Zones**:
* Combine with price action (like pin bars, engulfing, or inside bars) or volume near these levels to plan entries.
* **R1.618 and S1.618** are great for extended targets or aggressive reversal setups.
🔹 **CPR Center Line**:
* Acts as a key mean-reversion zone or midline. You can combine this with VWAP or RSI for confirmation.
---
### 🧩 **Best Practices**
* **Higher Timeframe Confluence**: Align this with HTF S/R or trendlines.
* **Use Alerts**: Combine this with price action alerting tools (manually or with separate indicators).
* **Do Not Use Alone**: For best results, combine with a strategy (e.g., Supply/Demand, VWAP bounce, Trendline breaks).
Functionally Weighted Moving AverageOVERVIEW
An anchor-able moving average that weights historical prices with mathematical curves (shaping functions) such as Smoothstep , Ease In / Out , or even a Cubic Bézier . This level of configurability lends itself to more versatile price modeling, over conventional moving averages.
SESSION ANCHORS
Aside from VWAP, conventional moving averages do not allow you to use the first bar of each session as an anchor. This can make averages less useful near the open when price is sufficiently different from yesterdays close. For example, in this screenshot the EMA (blue) lags behind the sessionally anchored FWMA (yellow) at the open, making it slower to indicate a pivot higher.
An incrementing length is what makes a moving average anchor-able. VWAP is designed to do this, indefinitely growing until a new anchor resets the average (which is why it doesn't have a length parameter). But conventional MA's are designed to have a set length (they do not increment). Combining these features, the FWMA treats the length like a maximum rather than a set length, incrementing up to it from the anchor (when enabled).
Quick aside: If you code and want to anchor a conventional MA, the length() function in my UtilityLibrary will help you do this.
Incrementing an averages length introduces near-anchor volatility. For this reason, the FWMA also includes an option to saturate the anchor with the source , making values near the anchor more resistant to change. The following screenshot illustrates how saturation affects the average near the anchor when disabled (aqua) and enabled (fuchsia).
AVERAGING MATH
While there's nothing special about the math, it's worth documenting exactly how the average is affected by the anchor.
Average = Dot Product / Sum of Weights
Dot Product
This is the sum of element-wise multiplication between the Price and Weight arrays.
Dot Product = Price1 × Weight1 + Price2 × Weight2 + Price3 × Weight3 ...
When the Price and Weight arrays are equally sized (aka. the length is no longer incrementing from the anchor), there's a 1-1 mapping between Price and Weight indices. Anchoring, however, purges historical data from the Price array, making it temporarily smaller. When this happens, a dot product is synthesized by linearly interpolating for proportional indices (rather than a 1-1 mapping) to maintain the intended shape of weights.
Synthetic Dot Product = FirstPrice × FirstWeight + ... MidPrice × MidWeight ... + LastPrice × LastWeight
Sum of Weights
Exactly what it sounds like, the sum of weights used by the dot product operation. The sum of used weights may be less than the sum of all weights when the dot product is synthesized.
Sum of Weights = Weight1 + Weight2 + Weight3 ...
CALCULATING WEIGHTS
Shaping functions are mathematical curves used for interpolation. They are what give the Functionally Weighted Moving Average its name, and define how each historical price in the look back period is weighted.
The included shaping functions are:
Linear (conventional WMA)
Smoothstep (S curve)
Ease In Out (adjustable S curve)
Ease In (first half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out (second half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out In (eases out and then back in)
Cubic Bézier (aka. any curve you want)
In the following screenshot, the only difference between the three FWMA's is the shaping function (Ease In, Ease In Out, and Ease Out) illustrating how different curves can influence the responsiveness of an average.
And here is the same example, but with anchor saturation disabled .
ADJUSTING WEIGHTS
Each function outputs a range of values between 0 and 1. While you can't expand or shrink the range, you can nudge it higher or lower using the Scalar . For example, setting the scalar to -0.2 remaps to , and +0.2 remaps to . The following screenshot illustrates how -0.2 (lightest blue) and +0.2 (darkest blue) affect the average.
Easing functions can be further adjusted with the Degree (how much the shaping function curves). There's an interactive example of this here and the following illustrates how a degrees 0, 1, and 20 (dark orange, orange, and light orange) affect the average.
This level of configurability completely changes how a moving average models price for a given length, making the FWMA extremely versatile.
INPUTS
You can configure:
Length (how many historical bars to average)
Source (the bar value to average)
Offset (horizontal offset of the plot)
Weight (the shaping function)
Scalar (how much to adjust each weight)
Degree (how much to ease in / out)
Bézier Points (controls shape of Bézier)
Divisor & Anchor parameters
Style of the plot
BUT ... WHY?
We use moving averages to anticipate trend initialization, continuation, and termination. For a given look back period (length) we want the average to represent the data as accurately and smoothly as possible. The better it does this, the better it is at modeling price.
In this screenshot, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 9. They are both smooth, but one of them more accurately models price.
You wouldn't necessarily want to trade with these FWMA parameters, but knowing it does a better job of modeling price allows you to confidently expand the model to larger timeframes for bigger moves. Here, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 195 (aka. 50% of NYSE market hours).
INSPIRATION
I predominantly trade ETF derivatives and hold the position that markets are chaotic, not random . The salient difference being that randomness is entirely unpredictable, and chaotic systems can be modeled. The kind of analysis I value requires a very good pricing model.
The term "model" sounds more intimidating than it is. Math terms do that sometimes. It's just a mathematical estimation . That's it. For example, a regression is an "average regressing" model (aka. mean reversion ), and LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) is a statistically rigorous local regression .
LOWESS is excellent for modeling data. Also, it's not practical for trading. It's computationally expensive and uses data to the right of the point it's averaging, which is impossible in realtime (everything to the right is in the future). But many techniques used within LOWESS are still valuable.
My goal was to create an efficient real time emulation of LOWESS. Specifically I wanted something that was weighted non-linearly, was efficient, left-side only, and data faithful. Incorporate trading paradigms (like anchoring) and you get a Functionally Weighted Moving Average.
The formulas for determining the weights in LOWESS are typically chosen just because they seem to work well. Meaning ... they can be anything, and there's no justification other than "looks about right". So having a variety of functions (aka. kernels) for the FWMA, and being able to slide the weight range higher or lower, allows you to also make it "look about right".
William Cleveland, prominent figure in statistics known for his contributions to LOWESS, preferred using a tri-cube weighting function. Using Weight = Ease Out In with the Degrees = 3 is comparable to this. Enjoy!
Intraday Trading IndicatorIndicator Overview
Moving Averages: Uses a fast EMA (9-period) and a slow EMA (21-period) to determine the trend direction.
Market Profile Approximation: Utilizes VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) as a simplified proxy for value area, acting as a dynamic support/resistance level.
SMC: Incorporates the concept of trend confirmation and price interaction with key levels, focusing on pullbacks to the fast EMA within a trending market.
Signals: Generates buy and sell signals when price crosses the fast EMA, filtered by the trend (fast EMA vs. slow EMA) and VWAP position, aiming for high-probability setups.
This design ensures responsiveness on short timeframes while filtering out noise, aligning with the goal of accurate signals for intraday trading.
