Hybrid Triple Exponential Smoothing🙏🏻 TV, I present you HTES aka Hybrid Triple Exponential Smoothing, designed by Holt & Winters in the US, assembled by me in Saint P. I apply exponential smoothing individually to the data itself, then to residuals from the fitted values, and lastly to one-point forecast (OPF) errors, hence 'hybrid'. At the same time, the method is a closed-form solution and purely online, no need to make any recalculations & optimize anything, so the method is O(1).
^^ historical OPFs and one-point forecasting interval plotted instead of fitted values and prediction interval
Before the How-to, first let me tell you some non-obvious things about Triple Exponential smoothing (and about Exponential Smoothing in general) that not many catch. Expo smoothing seems very straightforward and obvious, but if you look deeper...
1) The whole point of exponential smoothing is its incremental/online nature, and its O(1) algorithm complexity, making it dope for high-frequency streaming data that is also univariate and has no weights. Consequently:
- Any hybrid models that involve expo smoothing and any type of ML models like gradient boosting applied to residuals rarely make much sense business-wise: if you have resources to boost the residuals, you prolly have resources to use something instead of expo smoothing;
- It also concerns the fashion of using optimizers to pick smoothing parameters; honestly, if you use this approach, you have to retrain on each datapoint, which is crazy in a streaming context. If you're not in a streaming context, why expo smoothing? What makes more sense is either picking smoothing parameters once, guided by exogenous info, or using dynamic ones calculated in a minimalistic and elegant way (more on that in further drops).
2) No matter how 'right' you choose the smoothing parameters, all the resulting components (level, trend, seasonal) are not pure; each of them contains a bit of info from the other components, this is just how non-sequential expo smoothing works. You gotta know this if you wanna use expo smoothing to decompose your time series into separate components. The only pure component there, lol, is the residuals;
3) Given what I've just said, treating the level (that does contain trend and seasonal components partially) as the resulting fit is a mistake. The resulting fit is level (l) + trend (b) + seasonal (s). And from this fit, you calculate residuals;
4) The residuals component is not some kind of bad thing; it is simply the component that contains info you consciously decide not to include in your model for whatever reason;
5) Forecasting Errors and Residuals from fitted values are 2 different things. The former are deltas between the forecasts you've made and actual values you've observed, the latter are simply differences between actual datapoints and in-sample fitted values;
6) Residuals are used for in-sample prediction intervals, errors for out-of-sample forecasting intervals;
7) Choosing between single, double, or triple expo smoothing should not be based exclusively on the nature of your data, but on what you need to do as well. For example:
- If you have trending seasonal data and you wanna do forecasting exclusively within the expo smoothing framework, then yes, you need Triple Exponential Smoothing;
- If you wanna use prediction intervals for generating trend-trading signals and you disregard seasonality, then you need single (simple) expo smoothing, even on trending data. Otherwise, the trend component will be included in your model's fitted values → prediction intervals.
8) Kind of not non-obvious, but when you put one smoothing parameter to zero, you basically disregard this component. E.g., in triple expo smoothing, when you put gamma and beta to zero, you basically end up with single exponential smoothing.
^^ data smoothing, beta and gamma zeroed out, forecasting steps = 0
About the implementation
* I use a simple power transform that results in a log transform with lambda = 0 instead of the mainstream-used transformers (if you put lambda on 2 in Box-Cox, you won't get a power of 2 transform)
* Separate set of smoothing parameters for data, residuals, and errors smoothing
* Separate band multipliers for residuals and errors
* Both typical error and typical residuals get multiplied by math.sqrt(math.pi / 2) in order to approach standard deviation so you can ~use Z values and get more or less corresponding probabilities
* In script settings → style, you can switch on/off plotting of many things that get calculated internally:
- You can visualize separate components (just remember they are not pure);
- You can switch off fit and switch on OPF plotting;
- You can plot residuals and their exponentially smoothed typical value to pick the smoothing parameters for both data and residuals;
- Or you might plot errors and play with data smoothing parameters to minimize them (consult SAE aka Sum of Absolute Errors plot);

More ideas on how to use the thing
1) Use Double Exponential Smoothing (data gamma = 0) to detrend your time series for further processing (Fourier likes at least weakly stationary data);
2) Put single expo smoothing on your strategy/subaccount equity chart (data alpha = data beta = 0), set prediction interval deviation multiplier to 1, run your strat live on simulator, start executing on real market when equity on simulator hits upper deviation (prediction interval), stop trading if equity hits lower deviation on simulator. Basically, let the strat always run on simulator, but send real orders to a real market when the strat is successful on your simulator;
3) Set up the model to minimize one-point forecasting errors, put error forecasting steps to 1, now you're doing nowcasting;
4) Forecast noisy trending sine waves for fun.

TEMPO
Weekly Stacked Daily Changes [LuxAlgo]The Weekly Stacked Daily Changes tool allows traders to compare daily net price changes for each day of the week, stacked by week. It provides a very convenient way to compare daily and weekly volatility at the same time.
🔶 USAGE
The tool requires no configuration and works perfectly out of the box, displaying the net price change for each day of the week as stacked boxes of the appropriate size.
Traders can adjust the width of the columns and the spacing between days and weeks, options to change the color and disable the months and new month lines are also available.
🔹 Bottom Stack Bias
This feature allows traders to compare weekly volatility in two different ways.
With this feature disabled, all weeks use zero as the bottom of the stack, so traders can see at a glance weeks with more volatility and weeks with less volatility.
Enabling this feature will cause the tool to display the stacks with the weekly net price change as the bottom, so if a stack starts below the zero line it means that week has a negative net return, and if it starts above the zero line it means that week has a positive net return.
🔶 SETTINGS
Width: Select the fixed width for each column.
Offset: Choose the fixed width between each column.
Spacing: Select the distance between each day within each column.
🔹 Style
Bottom Stack Bias: Use weekly net price change as the bottom of the stack.
Bullish Change: Color for days with positive net price change
Bearish Change: Color for days with negative net price change
Show Months: Under each week stack, display the month
Show Months Delimiter: Display a line indicating the start of a new month
Dynamic Time Period CandlesThis indicator gives the dynamic history of the current price over various time frames as a series of candles on the right of the display, with optional lines on the chart, so that you can assess the current trend more easily.
In the library I found lots of indicators that looked at the previous xx time period candle, but they then immediately switched to the new xx time candle when it started to be formed. This indicator looks back at the rolling previous time period. With this indicator, you can clearly see how price has been behaving over time.
IMPORTANT SETUP INFO:
Initially, you must go into the settings and select the timeframe (in minutes) that your chart is displaying. If you don't do this then the indicator will look back the wrong number of candles and give you totally wrong results.
You can then setup how high you want the candle labels to be on the chart.
Then you can select settings for each candle that you want displayed. Anywhere between 1 and 5 different timeframes can be displayed on the chart at once.
I initially published an indicator called 'Dynamic 4-Hour Candle (Accurate Highs and Lows)', but this new indicator is so different that it needs to be forked and published as a separate indicator. The reasons for this are below:
The original indicator only looked at the previous 4 hour time period. This indicator allows the user to select any time period that they choose.
The original indicator only looked at one time period. This indicator allows to select between one and five time periods on the chart at once.
The original indicator did not put lines on the chart to show the lookback period and the highs and lows of that time period. This indicator does both those things.
The name of the original indicator in no way now describes what this new indicator is capable of, and would be very misleading to anyone who came across it. This new indicator has a name that much more accurately reflects what its' purpose and functionality is.
Multi-Timeframe Period Separators█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots period separators for up to four higher timeframes. The separators are fully customizable and designed to work on any symbols.
█ FEATURES
Reference
You can choose to plot the separators starting from midnight 00:00 or the opening of the exchange trading session.
Timezone
You can specify to localize midnight 00:00 to the region of your liking. The timezone format conveniently requires no manual adjustment during clock changes.
█ NOTES
Scans the bar opening and closing times
The script checks the bar ` time ` and ` time_close ` to pinpoint the separators that can occur intrabar.
Tracks from the last separator
The script tracks the time elapsed since the last separator, which is useful when there is no trading activity or the market is closed. As it can result in missing bars, it plots the separator on the first available bar.
Others
The script automatically hides the separators when navigating to an equal or higher chart timeframe.

Hourly Separator + Opening LineThis indicator shows the vertical and horizontal opening lines for the hourly timeframe.
Also has options to choose a different opening time:
- 1 Hour
- 30 Min
- 15 Min
- 10 Min
- 5 Min
Time-input Lines [MFX]THE LINES
The indicator plots a horizontal price line at a specified hour and minute (default: 9:30 - Equities Open). This line extends for a predefined number of minutes (default: 60 minutes - Opening Range Full Spectrum). Additionally, the indicator can plot two vertical lines: one at the selected start time and another at the end of the horizontal line.
STYLE
Both the horizontal and vertical lines are fully customizable, allowing adjustments to color, style, and width. For a cleaner, minimalist chart, any of these lines can be disabled.
TIMEZONE
By default, the indicator operates in the New York time zone, but this can be modified by unchecking the option and specifying a custom offset relative to UTC/GMT. The default offset is +2, corresponding to CEST (Central European Summer Time, UTC/GMT+2). The offset can be adjusted with up to 15-minute precision, where 0.25 represents a quarter of an hour.
ICT Intraday Timeline [neo.|]ICT Intraday Timeline is a script that aims to cleanly display key times that the "Inner Circle Trader" often refers to during the day on a separate pane in your Tradingview chart. While using it, you can clearly see the time it is currently in New York time, as well as your own through Tradingview as usual, as well as relevant times such as the lunch times, Silver Bullet times, and Asian range time.
By using this indicator it is simpler to consider what every time is doing and the effect it has on your current bias, for example: you may want to look at the 8:30 am open which is where news usually comes out, if not you can use 9:30 am for formulating trades. The AM SB is a time for when the "Silver Bullet (ICT)" setup can be found and executed, as it refines a specific range and targets inefficiencies and allows liquidity to form for which it comes back for, meaning it may be a better time for you to enter a trade, these are just examples of what you can look for, and how considering time can help you come up with and refine trade ideas.
Other times which are included are the:
Asia Range: You can mark out the highs and lows which occur during this time to use as liquidity later.
Midnight Open: On equities price will often interact with the midnight opening price, meaning it is an important time to consider.
London Open SB and Premarket SB: As mentioned previously you can find the "Silver Bullet" setup in here.
NY Lunch & London Lunch: Lunch times usually mean less volume therefore you may see less probable trades at this time.
AM SB and PM SB: Once again, times where you can potentially find more probable trades.
You can also easily customize any of the colors such as the SB (Silver Bullet) times, London lunch and NY Lunch times, or the Asia range or line colors to your preference and individual chart style.
Key Times & Opening Prices [Olitrades]This indicator plots key time's (opening prices) with the possibility of vertical separators. It was initially created to utilize on the indices futures market, utilizing ICT logic.
These opening prices are often utilized to determine if price is currently at a premium or a discounted value.
The default times include:
Daily Open (18:00 PM)
Midnight (00:00 AM)
Settlement (15:00 PM)
7:30 AM
8:30 AM
9:30 AM (Equities Open)
10:00 AM (Morning 4h Candle Open)
14:00 PM (Afternoon 4h Candle Open)
Along with up to three custom time slots.
All times used in the indicator are Eastern Standard time (New York local time) and will automatically adjust no matter your time zone.
Historical
When in historical mode, the indicator will keep the previous levels so you can easily visualize them and their relation to price.
You can also choose how many past levels you want to see. This allows you to back test only specific days/weeks.
Other Inputs
The indicator contains an adjustable offset, to modify how far the line extends depending on the current timeframe.
Each one of the above-mentioned levels can be turned on and off, including the custom times. You can also choose between plotting just the opening price, a vertical line separator, or both! All of these lines have adjustable styles (dotted, dashed or solid) and width.
They also have custom cut offs. You may choose specific cut off times for custom time slots (when to stop extending the lines), as well as for AM (before noon) default levels and PM (after noon) default levels.
The indicator also allows to show text labels next to these lines, which is set by default but can be turned off. Custom times also include custom text options.
Muti TimeFrame 1st Minute High and a LowThis Pine Script code is designed to plot the high, close, and low prices at exactly 9:31 AM on any timeframe chart. Here's a breakdown of what the script does:
Inputs
Define the start time of the trading day (default: 9:30 AM)

Toggle to extend lines for daily open and close (default: false)
Calculations
- Determines if the current bar is the first bar of the trading day (9:30 AM)
- Retrieves the high, close, and low prices at 9:31 AM for the current timeframe
- Plots these prices as crosses on the chart
- Draws lines for the 4 pm close and 9:30 am open, as well as lines for the high and low of the first candle
- Calculates the start and end times for a rectangle box and draws the box on the chart if the start price high and low are set
Features
- Plots the high, close, and low prices at exactly 9:31 AM on any timeframe chart
- Displays daily open and close lines
- Extends lines for daily open and close (optional)
- Draws a rectangle box around the first candle of the day (optional)
Markets
- Designed for use on various markets, including stocks, futures, forex, and crypto
This script is useful for traders who want to visualize the prices at the start of the trading day and track the market's movement throughout the day.
Ultra SessionsThe "Ultra Sessions" indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy by clearly marking key market sessions and their associated "kill zones" directly on your chart. This powerful tool supports multiple time zones and provides customizable alerts for session opens, closes, and critical kill zones, ensuring you never miss important market movements.
Customizable Time Zones: Align the indicator with your local time by selecting from a wide range of global time zones.
Market Session Tracking: Visually track the New York, London, and Tokyo trading sessions with distinct color-coded markers.
Kill Zones: Highlight the high-volatility periods within each session to focus on key trading opportunities.
Alert System: Receive real-time alerts for session openings, closings, and kill zones, so you stay informed without constantly monitoring the chart.
Flexible Positioning: Choose the positioning of session markers to fit your chart layout, whether at the top or bottom.
Ideal for traders who want to optimize their entry and exit points by focusing on the most active and volatile times in the market, the indicator is a must-have for any serious trading setup.
World Clock [VHX]Keeping track of local times across different time zones has always been a challenge, especially when working with global markets.
But worry no more, as we now have a solution tailored for this very need. With this indicator, you can effortlessly add two different time zones to your chart, making it easier than ever to stay on top of market activity. The indicator not only shows the current date and time for the selected time zones but also integrates seamlessly with your chart, ensuring that you’re always aligned with the right market timings, no matter where you or your trades are based.
Unfortunately, the clock won't function when the market is closed.
Opening Price LinesThis script allows the user to set 16 custom opening time price lines and labels, as well as 4 vertical lines to delineate times of the day.
Opening price is crucial for PO3 and OHLC/OLHC market strategies. If you are bearish, you want to get in above the opening price of a candle; conversely if you are bullish you want to enter below the opening price of a candle.
This indicator will aid in identifying time clusters in price as well as identifying important times for whatever strategy the user employs.
*Many thanks to TFO for the framework from which this indicator was created.*
Fibonacci Time PeriodsThe " Fibonacci Time Periods " indicator uses power exponents of the constant Phi based on your custom time period to generate Fibonacci sequence-based progression on a given chart. This tool can help to anticipate the timing of potential turning points by highlighting Fib time zones where significant price movements may occur.
It is different from other alternatives specifically for the ability to alter the rate of progression .
Most famous regular Fib sequence expands with 1.618^(n+1) rate which produces vast change just after few iterations.
Those ever-expanding big intervals don't allow us to cover the smaller details of the chart which we might find crucial. So, the idea was born to break down the constant Phi to a self-fraction using power exponents. In other words, reducing rate of progression to make the expansion more gradual without losing properties of Fibonacci proportions.
Default settings have a rate of 0.25 which is basically Phi^1/4
That means we expect 4x more lines than in regular sequence to cover missing bits owing to formula: 1.618^(0.25*(n+1))
(Line 0.618 is added to enhance visual orientation and perception of proportions)
How it works:
Exponential rate of progression
First, it works out the difference between your custom start (0) and end (1) period
The result is multiplied by 1.618^rate to get the step
Rest lines are created by iterations. For instance, with default rate of 0.25, the 1st generated line = start + (End-Start)*1.618^0.25* 1 , second line = start + (End-Start)*1.618^0.25* 2 , etc.
If we change the rate to 1 it will produce the regular fib sequence with 1.618^(n+1) rate
Fixed rate of progression:
In this mode, when rate is 0.25, it grows exactly with exponent step of 0.25 so first, second, third, etc generated lines also have the fixed exponent of 0.25. The distance between lines do not expand.
How to use:
Set the start and end dates
Choose the type of progression
Choose your desired rate of progression
Customize the colors to match your chart preferences.

Time Vertical LineThis indicator is designed to plot vertical lines at specified hourly intervals on a trading chart. The indicator includes default settings to draw vertical lines at every hour of the day and provides users with the flexibility to customize up to six additional vertical lines at specified times.
Traders can use the vertical lines to segment the trading day, making it easier to analyze market movements within specific hours.
Customizable lines allow traders to mark important times such as market openings, closings, and economic news releases.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who need to keep track of specific times and events during the trading day, providing a clear and customizable visual representation of time on their charts.
The indicator allows you to easily customize the appearance of the 24 default vertical lines that mark each hour of the day. You can change the color by adjusting the Color input, modify the transparency using the Transparency input, and set the line width with the Line Width input.
Each of custom lines can have its own color, transparency, and line width, giving you full control over their appearance. By default, these custom vertical lines are turned off. To activate them, go to the "Style" tab in the settings menu of the indicator.
The time for each vertical line is based on the exchange's timezone. You can set the time for each of the 6 custom vertical lines using decimal notation. For example:
Input 9.1 to display a vertical line at 9:10.
Input 9.15 to display a vertical line at 9:15.
The indicator should only be displayed in time frames less than 15 minutes. Go to "Visibility" in settings for options.

Seasonality Widget [LuxAlgo]The Seasonality Widget tool allows users to easily visualize seasonal trends from various data sources.
Users can select different levels of granularity as well as different statistics to express seasonal trends.
🔶 USAGE
Seasonality allows us to observe general trends occurring at regular intervals. These intervals can be user-selected from the granularity setting and determine how the data is grouped, these include:
Hour
Day Of Week
Day Of Month
Month
Day Of Year
The above seasonal chart shows the BTCUSD seasonal price change for every hour of the day, that is the average price change taken for every specific hour. This allows us to obtain an estimate of the expected price move at specific hours of the day.
Users can select when data should start being collected using the "From Date" setting, any data before the selected date will not be included in the calculation of the Seasonality Widget.
🔹 Data To Analyze
The Seasonality Widget can return the seasonality for the following data:
Price Change
Closing price minus the previous closing price.
Price Change (%)
Closing price minus the previous closing price, divided by the
previous closing price, then multiplied by 100.
Price Change (Sign)
Sign of the price change (-1 for negative change, 1 for positive change), normalized in a range (0, 100). Values above 50 suggest more positive changes on average.
Range
High price minus low price.
Price - SMA
Price minus its simple moving average. Users can select the SMA period.
Volume
Amount of contracts traded. Allow users to see which periods are generally the most /least liquid.
Volume - SMA
Volume minus its simple moving average. Users can select the SMA period.
🔹 Filter
In addition to the "From Date" threshold users can exclude data from specific periods of time, potentially removing outliers in the final results.
The period type can be specified in the "Filter Granularity" setting. The exact time to exclude can then be specified in the "Numerical Filter Input" setting, multiple values are supported and should be comma separated.
For example, if we want to exclude the entire 2008 period we can simply select "Year" as filter granularity, then input 2008 in the "Numerical Filter Input" setting.
Do note that "Sunday" uses the value 1 as a day of the week.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Supported Statistics
Users can apply different statistics to the grouped data to process. These include:
Mean
Median
Max
Min
Max-Min Average
Using the median allows for obtaining a measure more robust to outliers and potentially more representative of the actual central tendency of the data.
Max and Min do not express a general tendency but allow obtaining information on the highest/lowest value of the analyzed data for specific periods.
🔶 SETTINGS
Granularity: Periods used to group data.
From Data: Starting point where data starts being collected
🔹 Data
Analyze: Specific data to be processed by the seasonality widget.
SMA Length: Period of the simple moving average used for "Price - SMA" and "Volume - SMA" options in "Analyze".
Statistic: Statistic applied to the grouped data.
🔹 Filter
Filter Granularity: Period type to exclude in the processed data.
Numerical Filter Input: Determines which of the selected hour/day of week/day of month/month/year to exclude depending on the selected Filter Granularity. Only numerical inputs can be provided. Multiple values are supported and must be comma-separated.
Session TimesDescription:
This indicator simply when enabled will draw dashed lines at each of the session openings. This is based on UTC+1 Time. There will be lines at 00:00 & 08:00 (Asian Session), lines at 08:00 & 13:00 (London Session) and finally lines at 13:00 & 00:00 (New York Session).
Potential Use:
There are many ways you could use this indicator to benefit your trading, but the best way I find is that it makes it clear where the previous highs and lows are of a session, which are potential areas you could trade off. Obviously, there are many other ways you can use this to help you.
How The Script Works:
The way the script works isn't too complicated as it is only a short script. Simply it firstly calculates what are the weekdays (Whenever it isn't Saturday or Sunday). Then from there simply finds the times which I mentioned above, and adds a vertical dashed line there.
Future Updates:
In the future I will mainly be looking to make the indicator more customisable. Firstly, I will look to make it so that the user can adjust the times that the lines are drawn at so it still works wherever you are in the world. I would also like to make it so the user can choose the colour of the lines. If you have any other additions you would like added to this, then feel free to message me.
Timeframe Marker - know when timeframes start/end
When you're on a lower timeframe, it's important to know which timeframes are starting/ending.
Timeframe Marker will display a bars that stack notifying you of your chosen timeframes.
For example, if you're on the one minute chart or another low timeframe, you'll be aware of the larger timeframes are about to begin or start.
It's always good to select the lowest timeframe first in ascending order so that the lowest bar is the lowest timeframe and bars that stack on top are larger timeframes.
The default timeframes are:
• 5 minutes (green)
• 15 minutes (yellow)
• 1 hour (orange)
• 4 hour (red)
• daily (blue)
• weekly (purple)
• monthly (gray)
If your chart's timeframe is higher than the timeframe marker you've selected, then it won't display a bar stack for that timeframe as it would normally display on every bar (this is to avoid clutter).
The future timeframe marks basically will offset to future timeframes. Set how many bars forward you'd like to see.
Time Bound Trading SessionsTime Bound Trading Sessions allows to add time bound conditions to your trading sessions given a date range , a time range and/or days of the week .
This indicator can be very handy if you want to control your trading sessions along those three time boundaries, applying them together and/or separately.
Feel free to reuse this code in your own strategy, and leverage the inSession condition as needed.
