CM_Pivot Points_CustomCustom Pivots Indicator - Plots Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Levels.
I created this indicator because when you have multiple Pivots on one chart (For Example The Monthly, Weekly, And Daily Pivots), the only way to know exactly what pivot level your looking at is to color ALL S1 Pivots the same color, but create the plot types to look different. For example S1 = Bright Green with Daily being small circles, weekly being bigger circles, and monthly being even bigger crosses for example. This allows you to visually know exactly what pivot levels your looking at…Instantly without thinking. This indicator allows you to Choose any clor you want for any Pivot Level, and Choose The Plot Type.

Stochastics + VixFix Buy/Sell SignalsThis script is designed for long-term investors using ETFs on a weekly timeframe, where catching high-probability bottoms is the goal. It combines the Stochastic Oscillator with the Williams VixFix to identify moments of extreme fear and potential reversals.
A Buy signal is triggered when:
Stochastic %K drops below 20
VixFix forms a green spike (suggesting a panic-driven market flush)
A Sell signal is triggered when:
Stochastic %K rises above 90
VixFix falls below 5 (indicating excessive complacency)
Catching tops is much harder than catching bottoms.
These Sell signals are not designed to fully exit positions. Instead, they suggest trimming a small portion of ETF holdings — simply to free up liquidity for future opportunities.
This strategy is ideal for:
Long-term ETF investors
Weekly charts
Systematic decision-making in volatile markets
Use in conjunction with macro indicators, sector rotation, and valuation frameworks for best results.

VWAP table with color
## 📊 VWAP Table with Color – Clear VWAP Deviation at a Glance
This script displays a **VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** table in a non-intrusive, color-coded panel on your chart. It helps you **quickly assess where the current price stands relative to VWAP**, classified into sigma bands (standard deviations). The goal is to provide valuable VWAP insight **without cluttering the chart with multiple lines**.
---
### 🔍 Purpose & Concept
VWAP is a powerful tool used by institutional traders to measure the average price an asset has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price.
In this script:
- We **do not plot traditional VWAP lines** with multiple ±1σ, ±2σ, etc., on the chart.
- Instead, we **summarize VWAP and its relative position in a table**, color-coded by deviation.
- This provides the **same information**, but in a **cleaner, minimal, and visually digestible format**.
---
### 🧠 VWAP Deviation Classification
The script calculates how far the current price is from the VWAP, in units of **standard deviation (σ)**.
The formula is:
```plaintext
VWAP Delta σ = (Current Price - VWAP) / Standard Deviation
```
This gives you a normalized value for deviation from VWAP, and it is **clamped between -3 and +3** to avoid extreme outliers.
Each range is color-coded and classified as:
| VWAP Δσ | Zone | Interpretation | Color |
|---------|---------------|------------------------------------------|--------------|
| -3σ | Far Below | Strongly below VWAP – potentially oversold | 🔴 Red |
| -2σ | Below | Below VWAP – bearish territory | 🟠 Orange |
| -1σ | Slightly Below| Slightly under VWAP – weak signal | 🟡 Yellow |
| 0σ | At VWAP | Price is around VWAP – neutral zone | ⚪ Gray |
| +1σ | Slightly Above| Slightly above VWAP – weak bullish | 🟢 Lime Green |
| +2σ | Above | Above VWAP – bullish signal | 🟢 Green |
| +3σ | Far Above | Strongly above VWAP – potentially overbought | 🟦 Teal |
This **compact summary in the table** provides a clear situational view while keeping the chart clean.
---
### ⚙️ User Customization
Users can configure:
- **VWAP σ Multiplier** (default 0.1) to set the width of the optional VWAP band on the chart.
- **Table Position** (Top Center, Bottom Right, etc.).
- **Text Size** and **Text Color**.
- **Hide VWAP logic**: VWAP data can be hidden automatically on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly).
- **Enable/disable the VWAP ±σ band lines** (optional visual aid).
---
### 📐 Technical Highlights
- VWAP is recalculated each day using `ta.vwap(hlc3, isNewPeriod, 1)`.
- The band width uses standard deviation and the selected multiplier: `VWAP ± σ * multiplier`.
- Table updates dynamically with the new VWAP values each day.
- To **avoid floating-point rounding issues**, `vwapDelta` is rounded before comparison, ensuring correct background color display.
---
### ✅ Why Use This?
- Keeps your chart **visually clean and readable**.
- Gives **immediate context** to current price action relative to VWAP.
- Helps **discretionary traders** or **scalpers** decide whether price is stretched too far from the mean.
- Easier than tracking multiple σ bands manually.
---
### Example Usage:
- On intraday timeframes, you can identify price exhaustion as it hits ±2σ or ±3σ.
- On a 5-minute chart, if price touches `+3σ`, you may consider taking profits on longs.
- On reversal setups, watch for price at `-3σ` with bullish divergence.
---
### 🧩 Future Enhancements (Optional Ideas)
- Add alerts for when `vwapDelta` crosses thresholds like ±2σ or ±3σ.
- Let user select the timeframe for VWAP source (e.g., 1H, 5M, etc.).
- Extend to display VWAP on session or weekly basis.

Arun - TimingSession Timing:
This script allows you to visualize key trading sessions (Asian, Frankfurt, London, and New York) by drawing boxes and lines around those time periods.
It has the ability to adjust the time range for each session using input variables. For example:
Asian Range: rangeTime = input.session(title='Session Time', defval='1700-0100')
Frankfurt: rangeTime0 = input.session(title='FRANKFURT', defval='0200-0301')
London: rangeTime4 = input.session(title='LONDON KZ', defval='0300-0500')
New York: rangeTime5 = input.session(title='NEWYORK KZ', defval='0800-1000')
Box Creation for Sessions:
The script creates boxes that highlight the high and low values of each session.
The boxes are drawn based on session time intervals and can be extended into the future (if extendLines is true).
You can also enable or disable the background color and middle line for the boxes.
Previous High/Low for Various Timeframes:
Previous Daily High/Low: Plots the high and low of the previous day.
Previous Weekly High/Low: Plots the high and low of the previous week.
Previous Monthly High/Low: Plots the high and low of the previous month.
These levels can be displayed on the chart with configurable colors and options.
MMM (Market Maker Movements) Levels:
The script allows you to plot "Market Maker Movements" (MMM), which are key levels that may act as support or resistance during specific times of the trading day. It includes:
mmm1Range = input.session(title='MMM', defval='0330-0331')
You can configure the color and style of the lines for these levels as well.
Daily Open:
The Daily Open is shown on the chart as a labeled point, so you can easily track the opening price of the day.
Dynamic Features:
Real-Time Adjustments: The script dynamically updates the lines and boxes when the session starts and ends. It can delete and redraw lines and boxes based on whether the session is active or extended.
Line/Box Styles: You can customize the appearance of the lines (solid, dotted, or dashed) and set the color of the session boxes and lines.
Background and Middle Lines: You can choose to display the background color of the session ranges and a middle line that divides the high and low of the session.
How It Works:
Boxes and Lines: For each session (like the Asian range), the script draws a box between the session’s high and low values. You can also draw vertical lines marking the start and end of the session. These are updated in real-time as new bars are formed.
Previous High/Low: The script plots the previous day's, week's, or month's high and low prices, helping traders identify important support and resistance levels from earlier time periods.
Market Maker Movements (MMM): These levels are drawn at specific times of the day based on your input and are often used by traders who believe that institutional players move the market at specific times.
User Input Options:
Show/Hide Options: You can enable or disable the display of various features like the daily open, previous daily/weekly highs, and the MMM levels.
Customization: You can set the colors, line styles, and the timeframes for each session and other levels.
Text Labels: The script supports labeling the session lines and high/low points, with customizable text color.
Example Visualization:
Asian Session Box: A box is drawn for the Asian session range (from 1700 to 0100), with the session’s high and low price points marked.
Previous High/Low: You would see circles or labels for the previous day's high and low.
MMM Lines: Horizontal lines or areas drawn at specific times based on the user input for the "Market Maker Movement".

Quarterly Theory ICT 04 [TradingFinder] SSMT 4Quarter Divergence🔵 Introduction
Sequential SMT Divergence is an advanced price-action-based analytical technique rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. Its primary objective is to identify early-stage divergences between correlated assets within precise time structures. This tool not only breaks down market structure but also enables traders to detect engineered liquidity traps before the market reacts.
In simple terms, SMT (Smart Money Technique) occurs when two correlated assets—such as indices (ES and NQ), currency pairs (EURUSD and GBPUSD), or commodities (Gold and Silver)—exhibit different reactions at key price levels (swing highs or lows). This lack of alignment is often a sign of smart money manipulation and signals a lack of confirmation in the ongoing trend—hinting at an imminent reversal or at least a pause in momentum.
In its Sequential form, SMT divergences are examined through a more granular temporal lens—between intraday quarters (Q1 through Q4). When SMT appears at the transition from one quarter to another (e.g., Q1 to Q2 or Q3 to Q4), the signal becomes significantly more powerful, often aligning with a critical phase in the Quarterly Theory—a framework that segments market behavior into four distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation.
For instance, a Bullish SMT forms when one asset prints a new low while its correlated counterpart fails to break the corresponding low from the previous quarter. This usually indicates absorption of selling pressure and the beginning of accumulation by smart money. Conversely, a Bearish SMT arises when one asset makes a higher high, but the second asset fails to confirm, signaling distribution or a fake-out before a decline.
However, SMT alone is not enough. To confirm a true Market Structure Break (MSB), the appearance of a Precision Swing Point (PSP) is essential—a specific candlestick formation on a lower timeframe (typically 5 to 15 minutes) that reveals the entry of institutional participants. The combination of SMT and PSP provides a more accurate entry point and better understanding of premium and discount zones.
The Sequential SMT Indicator, introduced in this article, dynamically scans charts for such divergence patterns across multiple sessions. It is applicable to various markets including Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices, and shows particularly strong performance during mid-week sessions (Wednesdays and Thursdays)—when most weekly highs and lows tend to form.
Bullish Sequential SMT :
Bearish Sequential SMT :
🔵 How to Use
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is designed to detect time and structure-based divergences between two correlated assets. This divergence occurs when both assets print a similar swing (high or low) in the previous quarter (e.g., Q3), but in the current quarter (e.g., Q4), only one asset manages to break that swing level—while the other fails to reach it.
This temporal mismatch is precisely identified by the SSMT indicator and often signals smart money activity, a market phase transition, or even the presence of an engineered liquidity trap. The signal becomes especially powerful when paired with a Precision Swing Point (PSP)—a confirming candle on lower timeframes (5m–15m) that typically indicates a market structure break (MSB) and the entry of smart liquidity.
🟣 Bullish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing low.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., EURUSD) breaks that low and trades below it.
The other asset (e.g., GBPUSD) fails to reach the same low, preserving the structure.
This time-based divergence reflects declining selling pressure, potential absorption, and often marks the end of a manipulation phase and the start of accumulation. If confirmed by a bullish PSP candle, it offers a strong long opportunity, with stop-losses defined just below the swing low.
🟣 Bearish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing high.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., NQ) breaks above that high.
The other asset (e.g., ES) fails to reach that high, remaining below it.
This type of divergence signals weakening bullish momentum and the likelihood of distribution or a fake-out before a price drop. When followed by a bearish PSP candle, it sets up a strong shorting opportunity with targets in the discount zone and protective stops placed above the swing high.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is a powerful and precise tool for identifying structural divergences between correlated assets within a time-based framework. Unlike traditional divergence models that rely solely on sequential pivot comparisons, SSMT leverages Quarterly Theory, in combination with concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSB) and precision swing points (PSP), to provide a deeper and more actionable view of market dynamics.
By using SSMT, traders gain not only the ability to identify where divergence occurs, but also when it matters most within the market cycle. This empowers them to anticipate major moves or traps before they fully materialize, and position themselves accordingly in high-probability trade zones.
Whether you're trading Forex, crypto, indices, or commodities, the true strength of this indicator is revealed when used in sync with the Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal phases of the market. Integrated with other confluence tools and market models, SSMT can serve as a core component in a professional, rule-based, and highly personalized trading strategy.

EMA 10/55/200 - LONG ONLY MTF (4h with 1D & 1W confirmation)Title: EMA 10/55/200 - Long Only Multi-Timeframe Strategy (4h with 1D & 1W confirmation)
Description:
This strategy is designed for trend-following long entries using a combination of exponential moving averages (EMAs) on the 4-hour chart, confirmed by higher timeframe trends from the daily (1D) and weekly (1W) charts.
🔍 How It Works
🔹 Entry Conditions (4h chart):
EMA 10 crosses above EMA 55 and price is above EMA 55
OR
EMA 55 crosses above EMA 200
OR
EMA 10 crosses above EMA 500
These entries indicate short-term momentum aligning with medium/long-term trend strength.
🔹 Confirmation (multi-timeframe alignment):
Daily (1D): EMA 55 is above EMA 200
Weekly (1W): EMA 55 is above EMA 200
This ensures that we only enter long trades when the higher timeframes support an uptrend, reducing false signals during sideways or bearish markets.

Pivot S/R with Volatility Filter## *📌 Indicator Purpose*
This indicator identifies *key support/resistance levels* using pivot points while also:
✅ Detecting *high-volume liquidity traps* (stop hunts)
✅ Filtering insignificant pivots via *ATR (Average True Range) volatility*
✅ Tracking *test counts and breakouts* to measure level strength
---
## *⚙ SETTINGS – Detailed Breakdown*
### *1️⃣ ◆ General Settings*
#### *🔹 Pivot Length*
- *Purpose:* Determines how many bars to analyze when identifying pivots.
- *Usage:*
- *Low values (5-20):* More pivots, better for scalping.
- *High values (50-200):* Fewer but stronger levels for swing trading.
- *Example:*
- Pivot Length = 50 → Only the most significant highs/lows over 50 bars are marked.
#### *🔹 Test Threshold (Max Test Count)*
- *Purpose:* Sets how many times a level can be tested before being invalidated.
- *Example:*
- Test Threshold = 3 → After 3 tests, the level is ignored (likely to break).
#### *🔹 Zone Range*
- *Purpose:* Creates a price buffer around pivots (±0.001 by default).
- *Why?* Markets often respect "zones" rather than exact prices.
---
### *2️⃣ ◆ Volatility Filter (ATR)*
#### *🔹 ATR Period*
- *Purpose:* Smoothing period for Average True Range calculation.
- *Default:* 14 (standard for volatility measurement).
#### *🔹 ATR Multiplier (Min Move)*
- *Purpose:* Requires pivots to show *meaningful price movement*.
- *Formula:* Min Move = ATR × Multiplier
- *Example:*
- ATR = 10 pips, Multiplier = 1.5 → Only pivots with *15+ pip swings* are valid.
#### *🔹 Show ATR Filter Info*
- Displays current ATR and minimum move requirements on the chart.
---
### *3️⃣ ◆ Volume Analysis*
#### *🔹 Volume Change Threshold (%)*
- *Purpose:* Filters for *unusual volume spikes* (institutional activity).
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 1.2 → Requires *120% of average volume* to confirm signals.
#### *🔹 Volume MA Period*
- *Purpose:* Lookback period for "normal" volume calculation.
---
### *4️⃣ ◆ Wick Analysis*
#### *🔹 Wick Length Threshold (Ratio)*
- *Purpose:* Ensures rejection candles have *long wicks* (strong reversals).
- *Formula:* Wick Ratio = (Upper Wick + Lower Wick) / Candle Range
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 0.6 → 60% of the candle must be wicks.
#### *🔹 Min Wick Size (ATR %)*
- *Purpose:* Filters out small wicks in volatile markets.
- *Example:*
- ATR = 20 pips, MinWickSize = 1% → Wicks under *0.2 pips* are ignored.
---
### *5️⃣ ◆ Display Settings*
- *Show Zones:* Toggles support/resistance shaded areas.
- *Show Traps:* Highlights liquidity traps (▲/▼ symbols).
- *Show Tests:* Displays how many times levels were tested.
- *Zone Transparency:* Adjusts opacity of zones.
---
## *🎯 Practical Use Cases*
### *1️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
- *Scenario:* Price spikes *above resistance* then reverses sharply.
- *Requirements:*
- Long wick (Wick Ratio > 0.6)
- High volume (Volume > Threshold)
- *Outcome:* *Short Trap* signal (▼) appears.
### *2️⃣ Strong Support Level*
- *Scenario:* Price bounces *3 times* from the same level.
- *Indicator Action:*
- Labels the level with test count (3/5 = 3 tests out of max 5).
- Turns *red* if broken (Break Count > 0).
Deep Dive: How This Indicator Works*
This indicator combines *four professional trading concepts* into one powerful tool:
1. *Classic Pivot Point Theory*
- Identifies swing highs/lows where price previously reversed
- Unlike basic pivot indicators, ours uses *confirmed pivots only* (filtered by ATR)
2. *Volume-Weighted Validation*
- Requires unusual trading volume to confirm levels
- Filters out "phantom" levels with low participation
3. *ATR Volatility Filtering*
- Eliminates insignificant price swings in choppy markets
- Ensures only meaningful levels are plotted
4. *Liquidity Trap Detection*
- Spots institutional stop hunts where markets fake out traders
- Uses wick analysis + volume spikes for high-probability signals

TR FVG & Swing High Low FinderTR FVG & Swing Level Finder
Overview:
The TR FVG & Swing Level Finder is a powerful Pine Script indicator designed for traders who want to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Swing Highs/Lows on their charts. This indicator combines two essential technical analysis tools into one, helping traders spot potential areas of support, resistance, and trend reversals. FVGs are price gaps that often act as areas of interest for price to return to, while swing highs and lows help identify key turning points in the market. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust colors, limits, and display options to suit their trading style.
Key Features:
1: Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection:
- Identifies Bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of two candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle, indicating a potential upward price movement.
- Identifies Bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of two candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle, indicating a potential downward price movement.
- Displays FVGs as colored boxes on the chart, with customizable border and fill colors based on the timeframe.
- Labels each FVG box with the corresponding timeframe (e.g., "1m FVG", "1h FVG", "Daily FVG").
2: Swing High and Swing Low Detection:
- Detects Swing Highs: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles on either side.
- Detects Swing Lows: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles on either side.
- Draws a solid black line with 50% opacity at each swing high and low, extending 5 bars to the right for better visibility.
- Adds a small Swing High or Swing Low label at the right end of each line, colored according to user-defined settings.
3: Timeframe-Specific FVG Visualization:
- FVGs are color-coded based on the chart's timeframe, making it easy to distinguish between FVGs on different timeframes.
- Each timeframe has its own fill color for bullish and bearish FVGs, with adjustable transparency for better chart clarity.
- A dashed black line is drawn in the middle of each FVG box to highlight the midpoint of the gap.
4: Customizable Display Options:
- FVG Limit: Control the maximum number of FVGs displayed on the chart (from 1 to 20).
- Extend Options for FVG Boxes:
- "None": FVG boxes extend only 2 bars to the right.
- "Limited": FVG boxes extend a user-defined number of candles to the right (1 to 100 candles).
- "Default": FVG boxes extend 3 bars to the right of the current bar.
- Color Customization:
- Set border colors for bullish and bearish FVGs.
- Adjust fill colors for FVGs on different timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Customize the colors of swing high and swing low labels.
5: Performance Optimization:
- The indicator only plots FVGs and swings on the last confirmed bar (barstate.islastconfirmedhistory), ensuring efficient performance and reducing chart clutter.
- Limits the number of displayed FVGs and swings to the user-defined fvgLimit, keeping the chart clean and focused on the most recent price action.
6: Inputs and Customization:
- Number of FVGs to Show (fvgLimit): Set the maximum number of FVGs and swings to display (default: 3, range: 1 to 20).
- Bullish FVG Border Color (bullishColor): Choose the border color for bullish FVGs (default: green).
- Bearish FVG Border Color (bearishColor): Choose the border color for bearish FVGs (default: red).
- Swing High Color (swingHighColor): Set the color for swing high labels (default: blue).
- Swing Low Color (swingLowColor): Set the color for swing low labels (default: purple).
- Extend Options:
- Extend Option (extendOption): Choose how far FVG boxes extend to the right ("None", "Limited", or "Default"; default: "Default").
- Extend Candles (extendCandles): If "Limited" is selected, specify the number of candles to extend FVG boxes (default: 8, range: 1 to 100).
- Timeframe-Specific Fill Colors:
- Customize fill colors for bullish and bearish FVGs on various timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Each fill color has a default transparency (e.g., 93% for most timeframes, 90% for 30m), which can be adjusted as needed.
How to Use:
1: Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
- Open TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, and paste the script.
- Click "Add to Chart" to apply the indicator to your current chart.
2: Adjust Settings:
- Open the indicator settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart.
- Modify the inputs to suit your preferences:

- Choose your preferred colors for FVGs and swings.
- Adjust the extend options for FVG boxes.
3: Interpret the Indicator:
- FVG Boxes: Look for colored boxes on the chart, which represent Fair Value Gaps. Bullish FVGs (green borders by default) suggest potential buying opportunities, while bearish FVGs (red borders by default) suggest potential selling opportunities. The label inside each box indicates the timeframe of the FVG.
- Swing Highs and Lows: Identify key turning points with solid black lines (50% opacity) at swing highs and lows. Each line extends 5 bars to the right, with an "SH" (Swing High) or "SL" (Swing Low) label at the end. Swing highs can act as resistance levels, while swing lows can act as support levels.
4: Combine with Your Strategy:
- Use FVGs to identify areas where price might return to fill the gap, often acting as support or resistance.
- Use swing highs and lows to spot potential trend reversals or to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- Combine the indicator with other tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages) for a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Notes:
- The indicator works on all timeframes, but the appearance of FVGs and swings will vary depending on the chart's timeframe.
- For best results, use the indicator on a clean chart to avoid visual clutter, especially if you increase the fvgLimit.
- The swing high/low lines are drawn with 50% opacity to ensure they don’t overpower other chart elements, but they are still clearly visible.

Adaptive Regression Channel [MissouriTim]The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a technical indicator designed to empower traders with a clear, adaptable, and precise view of market trends and price boundaries. By blending advanced statistical techniques with real-time market data, ARC delivers a comprehensive tool that dynamically adjusts to price action, volatility, volume, and momentum. Whether you’re navigating the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies, the steady trends of stocks, or the intricate movements of FOREX pairs, ARC provides a robust framework for identifying opportunities and managing risk.
Core Components
1. Color-Coded Regression Line
ARC’s centerpiece is a linear regression line derived from a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of closing prices. This line adapts its calculation period based on market volatility (via ATR) and is capped between a minimum of 20 bars and a maximum of 1.5 times the user-defined base length (default 100). Visually, it shifts colors to reflect trend direction: green for an upward slope (bullish) and red for a downward slope (bearish), offering an instant snapshot of market sentiment.
2. Dynamic Residual Channels
Surrounding the regression line are upper (red) and lower (green) channels, calculated using the standard deviation of residuals—the difference between actual closing prices and the regression line. This approach ensures the channels precisely track how closely prices follow the trend, rather than relying solely on overall price volatility. The channel width is dynamically adjusted by a multiplier that factors in:
Volatility: Measured through the Average True Range (ATR), widening channels during turbulent markets.
Trend Strength: Based on the regression slope, expanding channels in strong trends and contracting them in consolidation phases.
3. Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Plotted in orange, the VWMA overlays a volume-weighted price trend, emphasizing movements backed by significant trading activity. This complements the regression line, providing additional confirmation of trend validity and potential breakout strength.
4. Scaled RSI Overlay
ARC features a Relative Strength Index (RSI) overlay, plotted in purple and scaled to hover closely around the regression line. This compact display reflects momentum shifts within the trend’s context, keeping RSI visible on the price chart without excessive swings. User-defined overbought (default 70) and oversold (default 30) levels offer reference points for momentum analysis."
Technical Highlights
ARC leverages a volatility-adjusted lookback period, residual-based channel construction, and multi-indicator integration to achieve high accuracy. Its parameters—such as base length, channel width, ATR period, and RSI length—are fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor it to their specific needs.
Why Choose ARC?
ARC stands out for its adaptability and precision. The residual-based channels offer tighter, more relevant support and resistance levels compared to standard volatility measures, while the dynamic adjustments ensure it performs well in both trending and ranging markets. The inclusion of VWMA and scaled RSI adds depth, merging trend, volume, and momentum into a single, cohesive overlay. For traders seeking a versatile, all-in-one indicator, ARC delivers actionable insights with minimal noise.
Best Ways to Use the Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC)
The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a flexible tool that supports a variety of trading strategies, from trend-following to breakout detection. Below are the most effective ways to use ARC, along with practical tips for maximizing its potential. Adjustments to its settings may be necessary depending on the timeframe (e.g., intraday vs. daily) and the asset being traded (e.g., stocks, FOREX, cryptocurrencies), as each market exhibits unique volatility and behavior.
1. Trend Following
• How to Use: Rely on the regression line’s color to guide your trades. A green line (upward slope) signals a bullish trend—consider entering or holding long positions. A red line (downward slope) indicates a bearish trend—look to short or exit longs.
• Best Practice: Confirm the trend with the VWMA (orange line). Price above the VWMA in a green uptrend strengthens the bullish case; price below in a red downtrend reinforces bearish momentum.
• Adjustment: For short timeframes like 15-minute crypto charts, lower the Base Regression Length (e.g., to 50) for quicker trend detection. For weekly stock charts, increase it (e.g., to 200) to capture broader movements.
2. Channel-Based Trades
• How to Use: Use the upper channel (red) as resistance and the lower channel (green) as support. Buy when the price bounces off the lower channel in an uptrend, and sell or short when it rejects the upper channel in a downtrend.
• Best Practice: Check the scaled RSI (purple line) for momentum cues. A low RSI (e.g., near 30) at the lower channel suggests a stronger buy signal; a high RSI (e.g., near 70) at the upper channel supports a sell.
• Adjustment: In volatile crypto markets, widen the Base Channel Width Coefficient (e.g., to 2.5) to reduce false signals. For stable FOREX pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), a narrower width (e.g., 1.5) may work better.
3. Breakout Detection
• How to Use: Watch for price breaking above the upper channel (bullish breakout) or below the lower channel (bearish breakout). These moves often signal strong momentum shifts.
• Best Practice: Validate breakouts with VWMA position—price above VWMA for bullish breaks, below for bearish—and ensure the regression line’s slope aligns (green for up, red for down).
• Adjustment: For fast-moving assets like crypto on 1-hour charts, shorten ATR Length (e.g., to 7) to make channels more reactive. For stocks on daily charts, keep it at 14 or higher for reliability.
4. Momentum Analysis
• How to Use: The scaled RSI overlay shows momentum relative to the regression line. Rising RSI in a green uptrend confirms bullish strength; falling RSI in a red downtrend supports bearish pressure.
• Best Practice: Look for RSI divergences—e.g., price hitting new highs at the upper channel while RSI flattens or drops could signal an impending reversal.
• Adjustment: Reduce RSI Length (e.g., to 7) for intraday trading in FOREX or crypto to catch short-term momentum shifts. Increase it (e.g., to 21) for longer-term stock trades.
5. Range Trading
• How to Use: When the regression line’s slope is near zero (flat) and channels are tight, ARC indicates a ranging market. Buy near the lower channel and sell near the upper channel, targeting the regression line as the mean price.
• Best Practice: Ensure VWMA hovers close to the regression line to confirm the range-bound state.
• Adjustment: For low-volatility stocks on daily charts, use a moderate Base Regression Length (e.g., 100) and tight Base Channel Width (e.g., 1.5). For choppy crypto markets, test shorter settings.
Optimization Strategies
• Timeframe Customization: Adjust ARC’s parameters to match your trading horizon. Short timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 1-hour) benefit from lower Base Regression Length (20–50) and ATR Length (7–10) for agility, while longer timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly) favor higher values (100–200 and 14–21) for stability.
• Asset-Specific Tuning:
○ Stocks: Use longer lengths (e.g., 100–200) and moderate widths (e.g., 1.8) for stable equities; tweak ATR Length based on sector volatility (shorter for tech, longer for utilities).
○ FOREX: Set Base Regression Length to 50–100 and Base Channel Width to 1.5–2.0 for smoother trends; adjust RSI Length (e.g., 10–14) based on pair volatility.
○ Crypto: Opt for shorter lengths (e.g., 20–50) and wider widths (e.g., 2.0–3.0) to handle rapid price swings; use a shorter ATR Length (e.g., 7) for quick adaptation.
• Backtesting: Test ARC on historical data for your asset and timeframe to optimize settings. Evaluate how often price respects channels and whether breakouts yield profitable trades.
• Enhancements: Pair ARC with volume surges, key support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns (e.g., doji at channel edges) for higher-probability setups.
Practical Considerations
ARC’s adaptability makes it suitable for diverse markets, but its performance hinges on proper calibration. Cryptocurrencies, with their high volatility, may require shorter, wider settings to capture rapid moves, while stocks on longer timeframes benefit from broader, smoother configurations. FOREX pairs often fall in between, depending on their inherent volatility. Experiment with the adjustable parameters to align ARC with your trading style and market conditions, ensuring it delivers the precision and reliability you need.
MACD with TrendIndicator Name: MACD with Trend & Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
Why Use This Indicator?
Two MACDs for Double Confirmation:
It integrates both a standard MACD (fast/slow lengths of your choice) and a Trend MACD (longer lengths). The standard MACD identifies short-term momentum shifts, while the Trend MACD helps confirm the higher-level market trend.
Multi-Timeframe 50/200 SMA Overview:
A built-in dashboard quickly shows whether the 50-period moving average is above or below the 200-period moving average across multiple timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, etc.). At a glance, you can see if higher timeframes agree with your immediate trading setup.
Clear Buy/Sell Signals:
The script plots buy arrows when the MACD histogram crosses from negative to positive, plus an additional label for the Trend MACD crossing. The same goes for sell signals if momentum flips from positive to negative. This clarity can reduce guesswork.
Customizable & Intuitive:
Easily adjust moving average types (SMA or EMA), lengths, and source inputs to suit different asset classes or personal preferences. Visual color coding helps you quickly interpret bullish vs. bearish conditions.
Recommended Trading Approach
Identify Overall Trend
Check the Trend MACD histogram and the multi-timeframe dashboard (50/200 SMAs). If you see bullish alignment on higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, Weekly) and the Trend MACD is above zero, you know the market environment is supportive for long trades.
Pinpoint Entry Using Standard MACD
Wait for the standard MACD histogram to cross above zero or for a labeled “Buy Signal.” This indicates short-term momentum turning bullish in sync with the broader trend. If the market is already trending up (confirmed by the dashboard), the probability of a successful long entry often improves.
Set a Stop-Loss & Take-Profit
While not included in the code, adding an ATR- or price-based stop-loss can protect against sudden reversals. A simple approach is risking 1–2% per trade and aiming for a 1.5–2× reward relative to that risk.
Monitor Sell Signals
If the short-term MACD crosses below zero—triggering a “Sell Signal”—and the Trend MACD also turns down (or the dashboard flips bearish), consider exiting the position or tightening stops. This alignment of short- and long-term indicators often signals a shift in momentum that could threaten your open profits.
Summary
The MACD with Trend & Multi-Timeframe Dashboard is a versatile, all-in-one toolkit. It combines the immediacy of short-term MACD signals, the validation of a longer-term trend oscillator, and the broader insight of multi-timeframe moving averages. Whether you are a swing trader looking for alignment across bigger trends or a shorter-term trader wanting clear momentum triggers, this indicator helps streamline decision-making and reduce noise.
Disclaimer: As with all technical analysis tools, there is no guarantee of success. Always combine indicator signals with sound risk management and a thorough understanding of market conditions
Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T TensionOverview
The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension Bands indicator dynamically adapts to market conditions using an advanced statistical model based on the Student-T distribution. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels, this indicator leverages elastic volume-weighted averaging to compute real-time dispersion and location parameters, making it highly responsive to volatility changes while maintaining robustness against price fluctuations.
This methodology is inspired by incremental calculation techniques for weighted mean and variance, as outlined in the paper by Tony Finch:
📄 "Incremental Calculation of Weighted Mean and Variance" .
Key Features
✅ Adaptive Volatility Estimation – Uses an exponentially weighted Student-T model to dynamically adjust band width.
✅ Volume-Weighted Mean & Dispersion – Incorporates real-time volume weighting, ensuring a more accurate representation of market sentiment.
✅ High-Timeframe Volume Normalization – Provides an option to smooth volume impact by referencing a higher timeframe’s cumulative volume, reducing noise from high-variability bars.
✅ Customizable Tension Parameters – Configurable standard deviation multipliers (σ) allow for fine-tuned volatility sensitivity.
✅ %B-Like Oscillator for Relative Price Positioning – The main indicator is in form of a dedicated oscillator pane that normalizes price position within the sigma ranges, helping identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential momentum shifts.
✅ Robust Statistical Foundation – Utilizes kurtosis-based degree-of-freedom estimation, enhancing responsiveness across different market conditions.
How It Works
Volume-Weighted Elastic Mean (eμ) – Computes a dynamic mean price using an elastic weighted moving average approach, influenced by trade volume, if not volume detected in series, study takes true range as replacement.
Dispersion (eσ) via Student-T Distribution – Instead of assuming a fixed normal distribution, the bands adapt to heavy-tailed distributions using kurtosis-driven degrees of freedom.
Incremental Calculation of Variance – The indicator applies Tony Finch’s incremental method for computing weighted variance instead of arithmetic sum's of fixed bar window or arrays, improving efficiency and numerical stability.
Tension Calculation – There are 2 dispersion custom "zones" that are computed based on the weighted mean and dynamically adjusted standard student-t deviation.
%B-Like Oscillator Calculation – The oscillator normalizes the price within the band structure, with values between 0 and 1:
* 0.00 → Price is at the lower band (-2σ).
* 0.50 → Price is at the volume-weighted mean (eμ).
* 1.00 → Price is at the upper band (+2σ).
* Readings above 1.00 or below 0.00 suggest extreme movements or possible breakouts.
Recommended Usage
For scalping in lower timeframes, it is recommended to use the fixed α Decay Factor, it is in raw format for better control, but you can easily make a like of transformation to N-bar size window like in EMA-1 bar dividing 2 / decayFactor or like an RMA dividing 1 / decayFactor.
The HTF selector catch quite well Higher Time Frame analysis, for example using a Daily chart and using as HTF the 200-day timeframe, weekly or monthly.
Suitable for trend confirmation, breakout detection, and mean reversion plays.
The %B-like oscillator helps gauge momentum strength and detect divergences in price action if user prefer a clean chart without bands, this thanks to pineScript v6 force overlay feature.
Ideal for markets with volume-driven momentum shifts (e.g., futures, forex, crypto).
Customization Parameters
Fixed α Decay Factor – Controls the rate of volume weighting influence for an approximation EWMA approach instead of using sum of series or arrays, making the code lightweight & computing fast O(1).
HTF Volume Smoothing – Instead of a fixed denominator for computing α , a volume sum of the last 2 higher timeframe closed candles are used as denominator for our α weight factor. This is useful to review mayor trends like in daily, weekly, monthly.
Tension Multipliers (±σ) – Adjusts sensitivity to dispersion sigma parameter (volatility).
Oscillator Zone Fills – Visual cues for price positioning within the cloud range.
Posible Interpretations
As market within indicators relay on each individual edge, this are just some key ideas to glimpse how the indicator could be interpreted by the user:
📌 Price inside bands – Market is considered somehow "stable"; price is like resting from tension or "charging batteries" for volume spike moves.
📌 Price breaking outer bands – Potential breakout or extreme movement; watch for reversals or continuation from strong moves. Market is already in tension or generating it.
📌 Narrowing Bands – Decreasing volatility; expect contraction before expansion.
📌 Widening Bands – Increased volatility; prepare for high probability pull-back moves, specially to the center location of the bands (the mean) or the other side of them.
📌 Oscillator is just the interpretation of the price normalized across the Student-T distribution fitting "curve" using the location parameter, our Elastic Volume weighted mean (eμ) fixed at 0.5 value.
Final Thoughts
The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension indicator provides a powerful, volume-sensitive alternative to traditional volatility bands. By integrating real-time volume analysis with an adaptive statistical model, incremental variance computation, in a relative price oscillator that can be overlayed in the chart as bands, it offers traders an edge in identifying momentum shifts, trend strength, and breakout potential. Think of the distribution as a relative "tension" rubber band in which price never leave so far alone.

Clean OHLC Lines | BaksPlots clean, non-repainting OHLC lines from higher timeframes onto your chart. Ideal for tracking key price levels (open, high, low, close) with precision and minimal clutter.
Core Functionality
Clean OHLC Lines = Historical Levels + Non-Repainting Logic
• Uses lookahead=on to anchor historical lines, ensuring no repainting.
• Displays OHLC lines for customizable timeframes (15min to Monthly).
• Optional candlestick boxes for visual context.
Key Features
• Multi-Timeframe OHLC:
Plot lines from 15min, 30min, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly timeframes.
• Non-Repainting Logic:
Historical lines remain static and never recalculate.
• Customizable Styles:
Adjust colors, line widths (1px-4px), and transparency for high/low/open/close lines.
• Candle Display:
Toggle candlestick boxes with bull/bear colors and adjustable borders.
• Past Lines Limit:
Control how many historical lines are displayed (1-500 bars).
User Inputs
• Timeframe:
Select the OHLC timeframe (e.g., "D" for daily).
• # Past Lines:
Limit historical lines to avoid overcrowding (default: 10).
• H/L Mode:
Draw high/low lines from the current or previous period.
• O/C Mode:
Anchor open/close lines to today’s open or yesterday’s close.
• Line Styles:
Customize colors, transparency, and styles (solid/dotted/dashed).
• Candle Display:
Toggle boxes/wicks and adjust bull/bear colors.
Important Notes
⚠️ Alignment:
• Monthly/weekly timeframes use fixed approximations (30d/7d).
• For accuracy, ensure your chart’s timeframe ≤ the selected OHLC timeframe (e.g., use 1H chart for daily lines).
⚠️ Performance:
• Reduce # Past Lines on low-end devices for smoother performance.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves risk. OHLC lines reflect historical price levels and do not predict future behavior. Use with other tools and risk management.

MTF TTM Squeeze ProOverview
The MTF TTM Squeeze Pro indicator helps traders identify market compression (squeeze) conditions and analyze momentum across multiple timeframes. It is based on the TTM Squeeze concept, which uses Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to detect price consolidation periods that often precede strong breakouts.
This script enhances the standard TTM Squeeze by providing a multi-timeframe view, allowing traders to assess market conditions across intraday, daily, and weekly charts simultaneously.
⸻
How It Works
1. Squeeze Detection using Bollinger Bands & Keltner Channels
• High Compression Squeeze (Orange): Strongest squeeze, indicating extreme consolidation.
• Medium Compression Squeeze (Red): Moderate squeeze, potential breakout setup.
• Low Compression Squeeze (Black): Mild squeeze, possible momentum shift.
• No Squeeze (Green): Market is trending, no consolidation detected.
2. Momentum Analysis
The script features a custom linear regression momentum oscillator to gauge market direction:
• Positive rising momentum (Aqua) suggests bullish acceleration.
• Positive falling momentum (Blue) indicates slowing bullish momentum.
• Negative rising momentum (Red) signals bearish weakening.
• Negative falling momentum (Yellow) represents strengthening bearish momentum.
3. Multi-Timeframe Display
The indicator provides a table panel showing squeeze conditions and momentum colors for:
✅ 15m, 30m, 55m, 78m, 195m, Daily (D), and Weekly (W) timeframes.
This makes it easier to spot confluences across different periods, helping traders align their entries with larger trends.
⸻
How to Use
✔️ Look for a high compression squeeze (orange dots) as potential breakout zones.
✔️ Check if momentum colors are aligned across multiple timeframes to confirm direction.
✔️ Trade in the direction of momentum once the squeeze is released.
Best Used For:
📈 Swing Trading – Identify multi-day setups using the D/W squeeze signals.
📉 Intraday Trading – Use 15m-78m signals for faster entries and exits.
