High Volume Points [BigBeluga]High Volume Points is a unique volume-based indicator designed to highlight key liquidity zones where significant market activity occurs. By visualizing high-volume pivots with dynamically sized markers and optional support/resistance levels, traders can easily identify areas of interest for potential breakouts, liquidity grabs, and trend reversals.
🔵 Key Features:
High Volume Points Visualization:
The indicator detects pivot highs and lows with exceptionally high trading volume.
Each high-volume point is displayed as a concentric circle, with its size dynamically increasing based on the volume magnitude.
The exact volume at the pivot is shown within the circle.
Dynamic Levels from Volume Pivots:
Horizontal levels are drawn from detected high-volume pivots to act as support or resistance.
Traders can use these levels to anticipate potential liquidity zones and market reactions.
Liquidity Grabs Detection:
If price crosses a high-volume level and grabs liquidity, the level automatically changes to a dashed line.
This feature helps traders track areas where institutional activity may have occurred.
Volume-Based Filtering:
Users can filter volume points by a customizable threshold from 0 to 6, allowing them to focus only on the most significant high-volume pivots.
Lower thresholds capture more volume points, while higher thresholds highlight only the most extreme liquidity events.
🔵 Usage:
Identify strong support/resistance zones based on high-volume pivots.
Track liquidity grabs when price crosses a high-volume level and converts it into a dashed line.
Filter volume points based on significance to remove noise and focus on key areas.
Use volume circles to gauge the intensity of market interest at specific price points.
High Volume Points is an essential tool for traders looking to track institutional activity, analyze liquidity zones, and refine their entries based on volume-driven market structure.

Whale Supertrend (V1.2)The script "Whale Supertrend (V1.2)" is an advanced trend indicator that uses multiple Supertrends with different factors to determine entry and exit points in the market. The Supertrend is a popular indicator that combines price and volatility to help identify trend direction. The script displays buy and sell signals based on the confluence of Supertrends.
How the script works
Configuring Supertrends
The script configures six Supertrends with different factors (factor, factor1, factor2, factor3, factor4, factor5) while using the same ATR period (atrPeriod = 10).
Supertrend 1: factor = 3
Supertrend 2: factor1 = 4
Supertrend 3: factor2 = 6
Supertrend 4: factor3 = 9
Supertrend 5: factor4 = 13
Supertrend 6: factor5 = 18
For each Supertrend, the bullish (blue) and bearish (purple) trend conditions are plotted on the chart.
Signal Calculation
The script calculates the number of Supertrends in bullish and bearish trend:
bullishCount: Number of Supertrends indicating a bullish trend.
bearishCount: Number of Supertrends indicating a bearish trend.
Signal Detection
The script triggers a buy or sell signal when at least three of the six Supertrends indicate the same trend:
Buy Signal (buySignal): Triggers when bullishCount is greater than or equal to 3.
Sell Signal (sellSignal): Triggers when bearishCount is greater than or equal to 3.
To avoid repetition, signals are only displayed when the state changes:
triggerBuy: Buy signal only when buySignal becomes true for the first time.
triggerSell: Sell signal only when sellSignal becomes true for the first time.
Candle Coloring:
Candles now change color based on signals:
Green: When a Buy Signal is active.
Red: When a Sell Signal is active.
This provides a clearer visualization of market trends directly on the chart.
Dynamic Settings for Supertrends:
You can customize the ATR Period and Factor for each of the 6 Supertrends via the settings panel.
Each Supertrend has independent parameters:
ATR Period: Controls the ATR calculation period.
Factor: Adjusts the Supertrend sensitivity.
Benefits:
Enhanced Readability: Candle colors help identify buy and sell zones at a glance.
Greater Customization: Tailor Supertrend settings to your trading strategy or market conditions.

Pearson Correlation CoefficientDescription: The Pearson Correlation Coefficient measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two data series. Its value ranges from -1 to +1, where:
+1 indicates a perfect positive linear correlation: as one asset increases, the other asset increases proportionally.
0 indicates no linear correlation: variations in one asset have no relation to variations in the other asset.
-1 indicates a perfect negative linear correlation: as one asset increases, the other asset decreases proportionally.
This measure is widely used in technical analysis to assess the degree of correlation between two financial assets. The "Pearson Correlation (Manual Compare)" indicator allows users to manually select two assets and visually display their correlation relationship on a chart.
Features:
Correlation Period: The time period used for calculating the correlation can be adjusted (default: 50).
Comparison Asset: Users can select a secondary asset for comparison.
Visual Plots: The chart includes reference lines for perfect correlations (+1 and -1) and strong correlations (+0.7 and -0.7).
Alerts: Set alerts for when the correlation exceeds certain threshold values (e.g., +0.7 for strong positive correlation).
How to Select the Second Asset:
Primary Asset Selection: The primary asset is the one you select for viewing on the chart. This can be done by simply opening the chart for the desired asset.
Secondary Asset Selection: To select the secondary asset for comparison, use the input field labeled "Comparison Asset" in the script settings. You can manually enter the ticker symbol of the secondary asset you want to compare with the primary asset.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to identify relationships and correlations between different financial assets to make informed trading decisions.

VIX Differential(Melon)Simple indy that measures the difference between VIX9D and VIX to try assessing short-term market sentiment. I've liked this recently as a big clue for market bottom reversals.
Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter by TenozenNew year, new indicator! Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter is an indicator designed to provide an adaptive approach to trend analysis. Using the Kalman Filter (a recursive algorithm used in signal processing), this algo dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders a reliable way to identify trends and manage risk! In other words, it's a remaster of my previous indicator, Kalman Filter by Tenozen.
What's the difference with the previous indicator (Kalman Filter by Tenozen)?
The indicator adjusts its parameters (Q and R) in real-time using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of market volatility. This ensures the filter remains responsive during high-volatility periods and smooth during low-volatility conditions, optimizing its performance across different market environments.
The filter resets on a user-defined timeframe, aligning its calculations with dominant trends and reducing sensitivity to short-term noise. This helps maintain consistency with the broader market structure.
A confidence metric, derived from the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line (measured in ATR multiples), is visualized as a heatmap:
Green : Bullish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Red : Bearish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Gray : Neutral zone (low confidence, suggesting caution).
This provides a clear, objective measure of trend strength.
How it works?
The Kalman Filter estimates the "true" price by filtering out market noise. It operates in two steps, that is, prediction and update. Prediction is about projection the current state (price) forward. Update is about adjusting the prediction based on the latest price data. The filter's parameters (Q and R) are scaled using normalized ATR, ensuring adaptibility to changing market conditions. So it means that, Q (Process Noise) increases during high volatility, making the filter more responsive to price changes and R (Measurement Noise) increases during low volatility, smoothing out the filter to avoid overreacting to minor fluctuations. Also, the trend confidence is calculated based on the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line, measured in ATR multiples, this provides a quantifiable measure of trend strength, helping traders assess market conditions objectively.
How to use?
Use the Kalman Filter line to identify the prevailing trend direction. Trade in alignment with the filter's slope for higher-probability setups.
Look for pullbacks toward the Kalman Filter line during strong trends (high confidence zones)
Utilize the dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and lock in profits
Confidence Heatmap provides an objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders avoid low-confidence (neutral) zones and focus on high-probability opportunities
Guess that's it! I hope this indicator helps! Let me know if you guys got some feedback! Ciao!
EMA Crossover with 50 EMA Filter50-period EMA: We added the 50-period EMA as the filterEMA variable.
Buy and Sell Conditions: The buy signal is generated only if the 8-period and 16-period EMAs both cross above each other and are above the 50-period EMA. Similarly, the sell signal is generated when the 8-period and 16-period EMAs cross below each other and are below the 50-period EMA.
Plotting: The 50-period EMA is also plotted on the chart (in orange).
This strategy will ensure that the buy signals are only triggered when the trend is considered "bullish" (both EMAs above the 50 EMA) and sell signals when the trend is "bearish" (both EMAs below the 50 EMA).
You can set up alerts for both buy and sell conditions using the alertcondition() function.
Let me know if you need further adjustments!

Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.
Dynamic Ticks Oscillator Model (DTOM)The Dynamic Ticks Oscillator Model (DTOM) is a systematic trading approach grounded in momentum and volatility analysis, designed to exploit behavioral inefficiencies in the equity markets. It focuses on the NYSE Down Ticks, a metric reflecting the cumulative number of stocks trading at a lower price than their previous trade. As a proxy for market sentiment and selling pressure, this indicator is particularly useful in identifying shifts in investor behavior during periods of heightened uncertainty or volatility (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993).
Theoretical Basis
The DTOM builds on established principles of momentum and mean reversion in financial markets. Momentum strategies, which seek to capitalize on the persistence of price trends, have been shown to deliver significant returns in various asset classes (Carhart, 1997). However, these strategies are also susceptible to periods of drawdown due to sudden reversals. By incorporating volatility as a dynamic component, DTOM adapts to changing market conditions, addressing one of the primary challenges of traditional momentum models (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
Sentiment and Volatility as Core Drivers
The NYSE Down Ticks serve as a proxy for short-term negative sentiment. Sudden increases in Down Ticks often signal panic-driven selling, creating potential opportunities for mean reversion. Behavioral finance studies suggest that investor overreaction to negative news can lead to temporary mispricings, which systematic strategies can exploit (De Bondt & Thaler, 1985). By incorporating a rate-of-change (ROC) oscillator into the model, DTOM tracks the momentum of Down Ticks over a specified lookback period, identifying periods of extreme sentiment.
In addition, the strategy dynamically adjusts entry and exit thresholds based on recent volatility. Research indicates that incorporating volatility into momentum strategies can enhance risk-adjusted returns by improving adaptability to market conditions (Moskowitz, Ooi, & Pedersen, 2012). DTOM uses standard deviations of the ROC as a measure of volatility, allowing thresholds to contract during calm markets and expand during turbulent ones. This approach helps mitigate false signals and aligns with findings that volatility scaling can improve strategy robustness (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
Practical Implications
The DTOM framework is particularly well-suited for systematic traders seeking to exploit behavioral inefficiencies while maintaining adaptability to varying market environments. By leveraging sentiment metrics such as the NYSE Down Ticks and combining them with a volatility-adjusted momentum oscillator, the strategy addresses key limitations of traditional trend-following models, such as their lagging nature and susceptibility to reversals in volatile conditions.

Global Relevant Events MarkerThe Global Relevant Events Marker script is designed to mark significant global events on a chart, such as economic crises or major geopolitical events. It uses vertical lines to indicate the exact dates of these events and places labels (optional) near the lines to provide a description of the event.
Trend with ADX/EMA - Buy & Sell SignalsThis script is designed to help traders make buy and sell decisions based on trend analysis using two key methods: ADX (Average Directional Index) and EMA (Exponential Moving Averages). Here's a breakdown in simple terms:
What Does It Do?
Identifies the Trend's Strength and Direction:
Uses the ADX indicator to determine how strong the trend is.
Compares two lines (DI+ and DI−) to identify whether the trend is moving up or down.
Generates Buy and Sell Signals:
Uses two EMAs (a fast one and a slow one) to check when the price crosses key levels, signaling a possible buy or sell opportunity.
Plots visual indicators (arrows and labels) for easy interpretation.
Color-Codes the Chart:
Highlights the background in green when the trend is bullish (uptrend).
Highlights the background in red when the trend is bearish (downtrend).
Alerts the User:
Creates alerts when specific conditions for buying or selling are met.
Key Components:
1. ADX (Trend Strength & Direction)
What is ADX?
ADX measures how strong the trend is (not the direction). Higher ADX means a stronger trend.
It also calculates two lines:
DI+: Measures upward movement strength.
DI−: Measures downward movement strength.
How It Works in the Script:
If DI+ is greater than DI−, it’s a bullish trend (upward).
If DI− is greater than DI+, it’s a bearish trend (downward).
The background turns green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend.
2. EMA (Buy and Sell Decisions)
What is EMA?
EMA is a moving average that gives more weight to recent prices. It’s used to smooth out price fluctuations.
How It Works in the Script:
The script calculates two EMAs:
Fast EMA (short-term average): Reacts quickly to price changes.
Slow EMA (long-term average): Reacts slower and shows overall trends.
When the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, it’s a signal to Buy.
When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, it’s a signal to Sell.
These signals are marked on the chart as "Buy" and "Sell" labels.
3. Buy and Sell Alerts
The script sets up alerts for the user:
Buy Alert: When a crossover indicates a bullish signal.
Sell Alert: When a crossunder indicates a bearish signal.
