Kaufman Trend Strength Signal█ Overview
Kaufman Trend Strength Signal is an advanced trend detection tool that decomposes price action into its underlying directional trend and localized oscillation using a vector-based Kalman Filter.
By integrating adaptive smoothing and dynamic weighting via a weighted moving average (WMA), this indicator provides real-time insight into both trend direction and trend strength — something standard moving averages often fail to capture.
The core model assumes that observed price consists of two components:
(1) a directional trend, and
(2) localized noise or oscillation.
Using a two-step Predict & Update cycle, the filter continuously refines its trend estimate as new market data becomes available.
█ How It Works
This indicator employs a Kalman Filter model that separates the trend from short-term fluctuations in a price series.
Predict & Update Cycle : With each new bar, the filter predicts the price state and updates that prediction using the latest observed price, producing a smooth but adaptive trend line.
Trend Strength Normalization : Internally, the oscillator component is normalized against recent values (N periods) to calculate a trend strength score between -100 and +100.
(Note: The oscillator is not plotted on the chart but is used for signal generation.)
Filtered MA Line : The trend component is plotted as a smooth Kalman Filter-based moving average (MA) line on the main chart.
Threshold Cross Signals : When the internal trend strength crosses a user-defined threshold (default: ±60), visual entry arrows are displayed to signal momentum shifts.
█ Key Features
Adaptive Trend Estimation : Real-time filtering that adjusts dynamically to market changes.
Visual Buy/Sell Signals : Entry arrows appear when the trend strength crosses above or below the configured threshold.
Built-in Range Filter : The MA line turns blue when trend strength is weak (|value| < 10), helping you filter out choppy, sideways conditions.
█ How to Use
Trend Detection :
• Green MA = bullish trend
• Red MA = bearish trend
• Blue MA = no trend / ranging market
Entry Signals :
• Green triangle = trend strength crossed above +Threshold → potential bullish entry
• Red triangle = trend strength crossed below -Threshold → potential bearish entry
█ Settings
Entry Threshold : Level at which the trend strength triggers entry signals (default: 60)
Process Noise 1 & 2 : Control the filter’s responsiveness to recent price action. Higher = more reactive; lower = smoother.
Measurement Noise : Sets how much the filter "trusts" price data. High = smoother MA, low = faster response but more noise.
Trend Lookback (N2) : Number of bars used to normalize trend strength. Lower = more sensitive; higher = more stable.
Trend Smoothness (R2) : WMA smoothing applied to the trend strength calculation.
█ Visual Guide
Green MA Line → Bullish trend
Red MA Line → Bearish trend
Blue MA Line → Sideways/range
Green Triangle → Entry signal (trend strengthening)
Red Triangle → Entry signal (trend weakening)
█ Best Practices
In high-volatility conditions, increase Measurement Noise to reduce false signals.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, EMA) for confirmation and filtering.
Adjust "Entry Threshold" and noise settings depending on your timeframe and trading style.

Trendfollowing
Trend Scanner ProTrend Scanner Pro, Robust Trend Direction and Strength Estimator
Trend Scanner Pro is designed to evaluate the current market trend with maximum robustness, providing both direction and strength based on statistically reliable data.
This indicator builds upon the core logic of a previous script I developed, called Best SMA Finder. While the original script focused on identifying the most profitable SMA length based on backtested trade performance, Trend Scanner Pro takes that foundation further to serve a different purpose: analyzing and quantifying the actual trend state in real time.
It begins by testing hundreds of SMA lengths, from 10 to 1000 periods. Each one is scored using a custom robustness formula that combines profit factor, number of trades, and win rate. Only SMAs with a sufficient number of trades are retained, ensuring statistical validity and avoiding curve fitting.
The SMA with the highest robustness score is selected as the dynamic reference point. The script then calculates how far the price deviates from it using rolling standard deviation, assigning a trend strength score from -5 (strong bearish) to +5 (strong bullish), with 0 as neutral.
Two detection modes are available:
Slope mode, based on SMA slope reversals
Bias mode, based on directional shifts relative to deviation zones
Optional features:
Deviation bands for visual structure
Candle coloring to reflect trend strength
Compact table showing real-time trend status
This tool is intended for traders who want an adaptive, objective, and statistically grounded assessment of market trend conditions.
Laplace Momentum Percentile ║ BullVision 🔬 Overview
Laplace Momentum Percentile ║ BullVision is a custom-built trend analysis tool that applies Laplace-inspired smoothing to price action and maps the result to a historical percentile scale. This provides a contextual view of trend intensity, with optional signal refinement using a Kalman filter.
This indicator is designed for traders and analysts seeking a normalized, scale-independent perspective on market behavior. It does not attempt to predict price but instead helps interpret the relative strength or weakness of recent movements.
⚙️ Key Concepts
📉 Laplace-Based Smoothing
The core signal is built using a Laplace-style weighted average, applying an exponential decay to price values over a specified length. This emphasizes recent movements while still accounting for historical context.
🎯 Percentile Mapping
Rather than displaying the raw output, the filtered signal is converted into a percentile rank based on its position within a historical lookback window. This helps normalize interpretation across different assets and timeframes.
🧠 Optional Kalman Filter
For users seeking additional smoothing, a Kalman filter is included. This statistical method updates signal estimates dynamically, helping reduce short-term fluctuations without introducing significant lag.
🔧 User Settings
🔁 Transform Parameters
Transform Parameter (s): Controls the decay rate for Laplace weighting.
Calculation Length: Sets how many candles are used for smoothing.
📊 Percentile Settings
Lookback Period: Defines how far back to calculate the historical percentile ranking.

🧩 Trend Classification Logic
The indicator segments percentile values into five zones:
Above 80: Strong upward trend
50–80: Mild upward trend
20–50: Neutral zone
0–20: Mild downward trend
Below 0: Strong downward trend
🔍 Use Cases
This tool is intended as a visual and contextual aid for identifying trend regimes, assessing historical momentum strength, or supporting broader confluence-based analysis. It can be used in combination with other tools or frameworks at the discretion of the trader.

SuperTrend Confluence Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script enhances the classic SuperTrend indicator by integrating volume dynamics, retracement detection, and a multi-asset trend matrix—alongside an automatic mitigation-level drawing system. It's designed for traders who want to see not just trend direction, but the confluence of trend strength, volatility-adjusted retracements, and capital flow through volume pressure. It visually maps key transitions in market structure while offering a clean, color-coded overview of multiple symbols and timeframes in a single chart.
CONCEPTS
At the core is the traditional SuperTrend , which determines directional bias using Average True Range (ATR) with a volatility multiplier. This script overlays that with a dynamic volume histogram that scales relative to recent volume standard deviation, coloring volume bursts within the trend. Retracement signals are triggered when price pulls back toward the SuperTrend level but respects it—quantified through normalized distance sensitivity. On top of that, the indicator automatically draws and manages horizontal support/resistance zones that appear at key trend shifts. These levels persist and are cleared based on configurable rules such as wick/body sweeps or consecutive candle closes. A multi-asset, multi-timeframe table then gives an instant snapshot of trend status across five user-defined symbols and timeframes.
FEATURES
SuperTrend : Configurable ATR length and multiplier for flexible trend sensitivity.
Volumetric Histogram : Gradient-filled candles anchored to SuperTrend bands, scaled by relative volume to indicate activity intensity during trends.
Retracement Arrows : Signals printed when price nears the SuperTrend level without breaking it, allowing identification of high-probability continuation zones.
Volume TP Markers : Diamond markers flag high-volume events, contextualizing price moves with liquidity bursts.
Automatic Structure Levels : Draws clean horizontal lines at significant trend transitions, with optional volatility-based band fills. These levels self-update and clear based on price interaction logic.
Trend Table : Displays trend direction (▲/▼) across five assets and five timeframes. Each cell is colored according to trend bias, providing a compact overview for multi-market confluence.
USAGE
Start by loading the indicator on your main chart and adjusting the ATR Length and Multiplier to match your strategy timeframe. Use lower values for scalping and higher values for swing trading. The histogram bars will appear as colored candles above or below the SuperTrend level, indicating how strong volume is within that trend. Arrow signals suggest minor pullbacks within the trend, which can act as entry opportunities. The level system will automatically plot key price zones during trend flips; if "Body" is selected for mitigation, price must close through the level to invalidate it. If "Wick" is chosen, a single wick breach is enough. Adjust expiry and rejection settings to fine-tune how long levels stay on chart. Finally, enable the Multi-Asset Table to view live trend signals across popular symbols like AAPL or NVDA in different timeframes, helping spot macro-to-micro alignment for higher-confidence trades.
Turbo Market Regime Detector [QuantAlgo]The Turbo Market Regime Detector is a market state classification system that combines volatility-adaptive filtering with slope analysis to identify and categorize market regimes. It helps traders and investors distinguish between trending and ranging market conditions across different timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Turbo Market Regime Detector employs a multi-layered analytical approach to market regime identification, incorporating:
Volatility-Adaptive Regime Filter (VARF) : Uses dynamic alpha calculation based on price volatility and range to create an adaptive filter that responds to changing market conditions
Slope Analysis : Calculates the absolute slope of the VARF curve and applies customizable moving average smoothing to determine trend strength and market regime classification
Normalized Histogram : Transforms raw slope data into percentage-based metrics (0-100%) for interpretation of market conditions
Multi-Threshold Classification System : Implements user-defined thresholds to categorize markets into Strong Trend, Weak Trend, and Ranging regimes
The indicator processes price data through mathematical operations including volatility adjustment, slope normalization, and statistical range analysis. This creates a regime detection system that adapts to market volatility while maintaining classification consistency across different timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Market Regime Classification
The indicator presents market conditions through a normalized histogram that distinguishes between three distinct market states:
1/ Strong Trend Regime: When the histogram exceeds the strong trend threshold (default 30%), indicating directional market movement with sustained momentum
2/ Weak Trend Regime: When the histogram falls between weak trend (default 10%) and strong trend thresholds, representing transitional market conditions with moderate directional bias
3/ Ranging Regime: When the histogram remains below the weak trend threshold, signaling consolidation periods with limited directional movement
This classification system provides insights into:
→ Current market state with percentage-based quantification
→ Regime transitions and their timing
→ Market momentum strength across different timeframes
2. Visual Feedback System
The indicator features multiple visualization options for market analysis:
Background Coloring: Optional chart background coloring that applies regime-based colors to both the indicator pane and main price chart for visual context
Bar Coloring: Price bar coloring based on current market regime, providing visual feedback on market conditions
Reference Lines: Horizontal reference lines at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% levels for percentage assessment and historical comparison
Information Table: Real-time status display showing current market state and trend strength percentage with customizable positioning and sizing options
3. Alert and Notification System
The indicator generates alerts for regime transitions:
State Change Alerts: Notifications triggered when the market transitions between regime states (Strong Trend ↔ Weak Trend ↔ Ranging)
Specific Regime Entry Alerts: Individual alert conditions for entering Strong Trend, Weak Trend, or Ranging regimes for targeted trading strategies
Customizable Alert Messages: Pre-formatted alert messages including exchange and ticker information for context and decision-making
🟢 Practical Usage Guidelines
→ Regime-Based Strategy Selection: Use the indicator to identify potential trading strategies - trend-following during Strong Trend regimes, mean-reversion during Ranging periods, and adjusted position sizing during Weak Trend transitions
→ Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Apply the indicator across different timeframes to understand market regime hierarchy and identify confluence between short-term and long-term market states
→ Threshold Optimization: Adjust regime thresholds based on market volatility and asset characteristics - lower thresholds for more sensitive regime detection, higher thresholds for more definitive regime changes
🟢 Configuration Tips
VARF settings optimization:
→ Lower thresholds (-0.3 to -0.5) for more responsive regime detection in volatile markets
→ Higher thresholds (-0.1 to 0.1) for smoother signals in stable market conditions
→ Enable adaptive VARF for automatic volatility adjustment across different market cycles
Slope analysis parameter tuning:
→ Shorter MA lengths (100-200) for faster regime transition signals
→ Longer MA lengths (300-500) for more stable regime identification
→ Adjust sensitivity multiplier based on desired responsiveness vs. stability balance
Regime interpretation framework:
→ Strong Trend regimes for momentum-based strategies and trend following
→ Ranging regimes for mean-reversion and support/resistance trading
→ Weak Trend periods for reduced position sizing and cautious market approach
Complementary analysis integration:
→ Volume analysis for regime change confirmation
→ Support/resistance levels for entry/exit timing within regime contexts
→ Price action patterns for validation of regime-based trading decisions
→ Economic calendar events that may influence regime transitions
Disparity Index with Volatility ZonesDisparity Index with Volatility Zones
is a momentum oscillator that measures the percentage difference between the current price and its simple moving average (SMA). This allows traders to identify overbought/oversold conditions, assess momentum strength, and detect potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔍 Core Concept:
The Disparity Index (DI) is calculated as:
DI = 100 × (Price − SMA) / SMA
A positive DI indicates the price is trading above its moving average (potential bullish sentiment), while a negative DI suggests the price is below the average (potential bearish sentiment).
This version of the Disparity Index introduces a dual-zone volatility framework, offering deeper insight into the market's current state.
🧠 What Makes This Version Unique?
1. High Volatility Zones
When DI crosses above +1.0% or below –1.0%, it often indicates the start or continuation of a strong trend.
Sustained readings beyond these thresholds typically align with trending phases, offering opportunities for momentum-based entries.
A reversal back within ±1.0% after exceeding these levels can suggest a shift in momentum — similar to how RSI exits the overbought/oversold zones before reversals.
These thresholds act as dynamic markers for breakout confirmation and potential trend exhaustion.
2. Low Volatility Zones
DI values between –0.5% and +0.5% define the low-volatility zone, shaded for visual clarity.
This area typically indicates market indecision, sideways price action, or consolidation.
Trading within this range may favor range-bound or mean-reversion strategies, as trend momentum is likely limited.
The logic is similar to interpreting a flat ADX, tight Bollinger Bands, or contracting Keltner Channels — all suggesting consolidation.
⚙️ Features:
Customizable moving average length and input source
Adjustable thresholds for overbought/oversold and low-volatility zones
Optional visual fill between low-volatility bounds
Clean and minimal chart footprint (non-essential plots hidden by default)
📈 How to Use:
1. Trend Confirmation:
A break above +1.0% can be used as a bullish continuation signal.
A break below –1.0% may confirm bearish strength.
Long periods above/below these thresholds support trend-following entries.
2. Reversal Detection:
If DI returns below +1.0% after exceeding it, bullish momentum may be fading.
If DI rises above –1.0% after falling below, bearish pressure may be weakening.
These shifts resemble overbought/oversold transitions in oscillators like RSI or Stochastic, and can be paired with divergence, volume, or price structure analysis for higher reliability.
3. Sideways Market Detection:
DI values within ±0.5% indicate low volatility or a non-trending environment.
Traders may avoid breakout entries during these periods or apply range-trading tactics instead.
Observing transitions out of the low-volatility zone can help anticipate breakouts.
4. Combine with Other Indicators:
DI signals can be enhanced using tools like MACD, Volume Oscillators, or Moving Averages.
For example, a DI breakout beyond ±1.0% supported by a MACD crossover or volume spike can help validate trend initiation.
This indicator is especially powerful when paired with Bollinger Bands:
A simultaneous price breakout from the Bollinger Band and DI moving beyond ±1.0% can help identify early trend inflection points.
This combination supports entering positions early in a developing trend, improving the efficiency of trend-following strategies and enhancing decision-making precision.
It also helps filter false breakouts when DI fails to confirm the move outside the band.
This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes and works across all timeframes and asset classes.
It is particularly useful for traders seeking a clear framework to identify momentum strength, filter sideways markets, and improve entry timing within a larger trading system.
Hurst Exponent Oscillator [PhenLabs]📊 Hurst Exponent Oscillator -

✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying if a market is regime-shifting from trending to mean-reverting (or vice versa).
Filtering signals in automated or systematic trading strategies.
Spotting periods of randomness where trading signals should be deprioritized.
Enhancing mean-reversion or trend-following models with regime-awareness.
⚠️ Limitations
Not predictive: Reflects current and recent market state, not future direction.
Sensitive to input parameters—overfitting may occur if settings are changed too frequently.
Smoothing can introduce lag in regime recognition.
May not work optimally in markets with structural breaks or extreme volatility.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Employs advanced statistical market analysis (Hurst exponent) rarely found in standard toolkits.
Offers immediate regime visualization through smart dynamic coloring and zone fills.
🔬 How It Works
Rolling Log Return Calculation:
Each new price creates a log return, forming the basis for robust, non-linear analysis. This ensures all price differences are treated proportionally.
Rescaled Range Analysis:
A rolling window maintains cumulative deviations and computes the statistical “range” (max-min of deviations). This is compared against the standard deviation to estimate “memory”.
Exponent Calculation & Smoothing:
The raw Hurst value is translated from the log of the rescaled range ratio, and then optionally smoothed via EMA to dampen noise and false signals.
Regime Detection Logic:
The smoothed value is checked against 0.5. Values above = trending; below = mean-reverting; near 0.5 = random. These control plot/fill color and zone display.
💡 Note:
Use longer calculation lengths for major market character study, and shorter ones for tactical, short-term adaptation. Smoothing balances noise vs. lag—find a best fit for your trading style. Always combine regime awareness with broader technical/fundamental context for best results.
The Ultimate Buy and Sell Indicator: Unholy Grail Edition"You see, Watson, the market is not random—it simply whispers in a code too complex for the average trader. Lucky for you, I am not average."
They searched for the Holy Grail of trading for decades—promises, false prophets, and overpriced PDFs.
But they were all looking in the wrong place.
This isn’t a relic buried in the desert.
This is the Unholy Grail — a machine-forged fusion of logic, engineering, and tactical overkill .
Built by Sherlock Macgyver , this is not a mystical object. It’s a surveillance system for trend detection, signal validation, and precision entries .
⚠️ Important: This script draws its own candles.
To see it properly, disable regular candles by turning off "Body", "Wick" and "Border" colors.
🔧 What You’re Looking At
This overlay plots confirmed Buy/Sell signals , momentum-based “watch” zones , adaptive candle coloring , SuperTrend bias detection , dual Bollinger Bands , and a moving average ribbon .
It’s not “minimalist” —it’s comprehensive .
📍 Configuring the Tool: Follow the Breadcrumbs
Every setting includes a tooltip — read them . They're not filler. They explain exactly how each feature functions so you can dial this thing in like you're tuning a surveillance rig in a Cold War bunker .
If you skip them, you're walking blind in a minefield .
🕰️ Timeframes: The Signal Sweet Spot
Each asset has a tempo . You need to find the one where signals align with clarity —not chaos .
Start with 4H or 1H —work up or down from there.
Too many fakeouts? → Higher timeframe
Too slow? → Drop to 15m or 5m —but expect more noise and adjust settings accordingly.
The signals scale with time, but you must find the rhythm that best fits your asset—and your trading lifestyle .
♻️ RSI Cycle = Signal Sensitivity
This is the heart of the system . It controls how reactive the RSI engine is.
Adjust based on noise level and how often you can actually monitor your charts.
Short cycle (14–24): More signals, more speed, more noise
Longer cycle (36–64): Smoother entries, better for swing traders
Tip: If your signals feel too jittery, increase the cycle. If they lag too much, reduce it.
📉 SuperTrend: Your Trend Bias Compass
This isn’t your average SuperTrend. It adapts with RSI overlay logic and detects market “silence” via EMA compression— turning white right before the chaos . That said, you still control its aggression.
ATR Length = how many bars to average
ATR Factor = how tight or loose it hugs price
Lower = more sensitive (more trades, more noise)
Higher = confirmation only (fewer, but stronger signals)
Tweak until it feels like a sniper rifle.
No, you won’t get it perfect on the first try.
Yes, it’s worth it.
🛠️ Modular Signals: Why Things Fire (or Don’t)
Buy/Sell entries require conditions to align. The logic is modular, and that’s on purpose.
RSI signals only fire if RSI crosses its smoothed MA outside the dead zone and a “Watch” condition is active.
SuperTrend signals can be enabled to act on crossovers, optionally ignoring the Watch filter .
Watch conditions (colored squares) act as early recon and hint at possible upcoming trades.
Background color changes are “pre-signal warnings” and will repaint . Use them as leading signals, not gospel.
Want more trades? Loosen your filters .
Want sniper entries? Lock them down .
🌈 Candles and MAs: Visual Market Structure
Candles adapt in real-time to MA structure:
Green = bullish (above both fast/slow MAs)
Yellow = indecision (between)
Red = bearish (below both)
Buy/Sell signals override candles with bright orange and fuchsia —because subtlety doesn’t win wars .
You can also enable up to 8 customizable moving averages —great for confluence , trend confirmation , or just looking like a wizard .

Trend Following Bundle [ActiveQuants]The Trend Following Bundle indicator is a comprehensive toolkit designed to equip traders with a suite of essential technical analysis tools focused on identifying , confirming , and capitalizing on market trends . By bundling popular indicators like Moving Averages , MACD , Supertrend , ADX , ATR , OBV , and the Choppiness Index into a single script, it streamlines chart analysis and enhances strategy development.
This bundle operates on the principle that combining signals from multiple, complementary indicators provides a more robust view of market trends than relying on a single tool. It integrates:
Trend Direction: Moving Averages, Supertrend.
Momentum: MACD.
Trend Strength: ADX.
Volume Pressure: On Balance Volume (OBV).
Volatility: Average True Range (ATR).
Market Condition Filter: Choppiness Index (Trend vs. Range).
By allowing users to selectively enable, customize, and view these indicators (potentially across different timeframes), the bundle facilitates nuanced and layered trend analysis.
█ KEY FEATURES
All-in-One Convenience: Access multiple core trend-following indicators within a single TradingView script slot.
Modular Design: Easily toggle each individual indicator (MAs, MACD, Supertrend, etc.) On or Off via the settings menu to customize your chart view.
Extensive Customization: Fine-tune parameters (lengths, sources, MA types, colors, etc.) for every included indicator to match your trading style and the specific asset.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: Configure each indicator component to analyze data from a different timeframe than the chart's, allowing for higher-level trend context.
Integrated Alerts: Pre-built alert conditions for key events like Moving Average crossovers , MACD signals , Supertrend flips , and Choppiness Index threshold crosses . Easily set up alerts through TradingView's alert system.
When configuring your alerts in TradingView, pay close attention to the trigger option:
- Setting it to " Only Once " will trigger the alert the first time the condition is met, which might happen during an unclosed bar (intra-bar). This alert instance will then cease.
- Setting it to " Once Per Bar Close " will trigger the alert only after a bar closes if the condition was met on that finalized bar. This ensures signals are based on confirmed data and allows the alert to potentially trigger again on subsequent closing bars if the condition persists or reoccurs. Use this option for signals based on confirmed, closed-bar data.
MA Smoothing & Bands (Optional): Apply secondary smoothing or Bollinger Bands directly to the Fast and Slow Moving Averages for advanced analysis.

█ CONCLUSION
The Trend Following Bundle offers a powerful and flexible solution for traders focused on trend-based strategies. By consolidating essential indicators into one script with deep customization, multi-timeframe analysis, and built-in alerts, it simplifies the analytical workflow and allows for the development of robust, multi-conditional trading systems. Whether used for confirming entries, identifying trend strength, managing risk, or filtering market conditions, this bundle provides a versatile foundation for technical analysis.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Parameter Tuning: Indicator settings (lengths, factors, thresholds) are not one-size-fits-all. Adjust them based on the asset being traded, its typical volatility, and the timeframe you are analyzing for optimal performance. Backtesting is crucial .
⚠ Multi-Timeframe Use: Using the Timeframe input allows for powerful analysis but be mindful of potential lag, especially if Wait TF Close is disabled. Signals based on higher timeframes will update only when that higher timeframe bar closes (if Wait TF Close is enabled).
⚠ Confirmation is Key: While the bundle provides many tools, avoid relying on a single indicator's signal. Use combinations to build confluence and increase the probability of successful trades.
⚠ Chart Clarity: With many indicators available, only enable those relevant to your current strategy to avoid overwhelming your chart. Use the On/Off toggles frequently.
⚠ Confirmed Bars Only: Like most TradingView indicators, signals and plots are finalized on the close of the bar. Be cautious acting on intra-bar signals which may change before the bar closes.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The Trend Following Bundle indicator provides technical analysis tools for educational and informational purposes only; it does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Indicator signals identify potential patterns based on historical data but do not guarantee future price movements or profitability. Always conduct your own thorough analysis, use multiple sources of information, and implement robust risk management practices before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Market Structure Confluence [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script is called "Market Structure Confluence" and it combines classic market structure analysis with a dynamic volatility-based band system to detect shifts in trend and momentum more reliably. It tracks key swing points (higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows) to define the trend, then overlays a basis and ATR-smoothed volatility bands to catch rejection signals and highlight potential inflection points in the market.
CONCEPTS
Market structure is the foundation of price action trading, focusing on the relationship between successive highs and lows to understand trend conditions. Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events are important because they signal when a market might be shifting direction. This script enhances traditional structure by integrating volatility bands, which act like dynamic support/resistance zones based on ATR, allowing it to capture momentum surges and rejections beyond just structural shifts.
FEATURES
Swing Detection: It detects and labels Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) based on user-defined time horizons, helping traders quickly spot the trend direction.
BOS and CHoCH Lines: When a previous swing point is broken, the script automatically plots a Break of Structure (BOS) line. If the break represents a major trend reversal (a CHoCH), it is marked differently to separate simple breakouts from real trend changes.
Rejection Signals: Special arrows plot when price pierces a band and then pulls back, suggesting a potential trap move or rejection signal in the direction of the new structure.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for structure breaks, CHoCHs, swing points, rejections at bands, and trend flips make it easy to automate setups without manually watching the chart.
USAGE
Set your preferred swing detection size depending on your timeframe and trading style — smaller numbers for intraday, larger numbers for swing trading. Choose whether you want BOS/CHoCH confirmed by candle closes or by wick breaks. Use the volatility band settings to fine-tune how tightly or loosely the bands hug the price, adjusting sensitivity based on market conditions. When a BOS or CHoCH occurs, or when a rejection happens at the bands, the script will highlight it clearly and optionally trigger alerts. Watch for combinations where both structure breaks and volatility band rejections happen together — those are high-quality trade signals. This setup works best when used with basic trend filtering and higher timeframe confirmation.

Advanced Momentum Scanner [QuantAlgo]The Advanced Momentum Scanner is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify market momentum and trend direction using multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs), momentum metrics, and adaptive visualization techniques. It is particularly valuable for those looking to identify trading and investing opportunities based on trend changes and momentum shifts across any market and timeframe.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Advanced Momentum Scanner utilizes a multi-layered approach with four different EMA periods to identify market momentum and trend direction:
Ultra-Fast EMA for quick trend changes detection (default: 5)
Fast EMA for short-term trend analysis (default: 10)
Mid EMA for intermediate confirmation (default: 30)
Slow EMA for long-term trend identification (default: 100)
For momentum detection, the indicator implements a Rate of Change (RoC) calculation to measure price momentum over a specified period. It further enhances analysis by incorporating RSI readings for overbought/oversold conditions, volatility measurements through ATR, and optional volume confirmation. When these elements align, the indicator generates trading signals based on the selected sensitivity mode (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive).
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Multi-Period Trend Identification
The indicator combines multiple EMAs of different lengths to provide comprehensive trend analysis within the same timeframe, displaying the information through color-coded visual elements on the chart.
When an uptrend is detected, chart elements are colored with the bullish theme color (default: green/teal).
Similarly, when a downtrend is detected, chart elements are colored with the bearish theme color (default: red).
During neutral or indecisive periods, chart elements are colored with a neutral gray color, providing clear visual distinction between trending and non-trending market conditions.
This visualization provides immediate insights into underlying trend direction without requiring separate indicators, helping traders and investors quickly identify the market's current state.
2. Trend Strength Information Panel
The trend panel operates in three different sensitivity modes (Conservative, Aggressive, and Balanced), each affecting how the indicator processes and displays market information.
The Conservative mode prioritizes trend sustainability over frequency, showing only strong trend movements with high probability.
The Aggressive mode detects early trend changes, providing more frequent signals but potentially more false positives.
The Balanced mode offers a middle ground with moderate signal frequency and reliability.
Regardless of the selected mode, the panel displays:
Current trend direction (UPTREND, DOWNTREND, or NEUTRAL)
Trend strength percentage (0-100%)
Early detection signals when applicable
The active sensitivity mode
This comprehensive approach helps traders and investors:
→ Assess the strength of current market trends
→ Identify early potential trend changes before full confirmation

Exponential Trend [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script plots an adaptive exponential trend system that initiates from a dynamic anchor and accelerates based on time and direction. Unlike standard moving averages or trailing stops, the trend line here doesn't follow price directly—it expands exponentially from a pivot determined by a modified Supertrend logic. The result is a non-linear trend curve that starts at a specific price level and accelerates outward, allowing traders to visually assess trend strength, persistence, and early-stage reversal points through both base and volatility-adjusted extensions.
CONCEPTS
This indicator builds on the idea that trend-following tools often need dynamic, non-static expansion to reflect real market behavior. It uses a simplified Supertrend mechanism to define directional context and anchor levels, then applies an exponential growth function to simulate trend acceleration over time. The exponential growth is unidirectional and resets only when the direction flips, preserving trend memory. This method helps avoid whipsaws and adds time-weighted confirmation to trends. A volatility buffer—derived from ATR and modifiable by a width multiplier—adds a second layer to indicate zones of risk around the main trend path.
FEATURES
Exponential Trend Logic : Once a directional anchor is set, the base trend line accelerates using an exponential formula tied to elapsed bars, making the trend stronger the longer it persists.
Volatility-Adjusted Extension : A secondary band is plotted above or below the base trend line, widened by ATR to visualize volatility zones, act as soft stop regions or as a better entry point (Dynamic Support/Resistance).
Color-Coded Visualization : Clear green/red base and extension lines with shaded fills indicate trend direction and confidence levels.
Signal Markers & Alerts : Triangle markers indicate confirmed trend reversals. Built-in alerts notify users of bullish or bearish direction changes in real-time.
USAGE
Use this script to identify strong trends early, visually measure their momentum over time, and determine safe areas for entries or exits. Start by adjusting the *Exponential Rate* to control how quickly the trend expands—the higher the rate, the more aggressive the curve. The *Initial Distance* sets how far the anchor band is placed from price initially, helping filter out noise. Increase the *Width Multiplier* to widen the volatility zone for more conservative entries or exits. When the price crosses above or below the base line, a new trend is assumed and the exponential projection restarts from the new anchor. The base trend and its extension both shift over time, but only reset on a confirmed reversal. This makes the tool especially useful for momentum continuation setups or trailing stop logic in trending markets.
Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average [Alpha Extract]Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average (DAMA) 📊
The Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average (DAMA) indicator is an adaptive technical tool that automatically discovers the optimal moving average period based on forward-looking price behavior. Unlike traditional fixed-length moving averages, this indicator continuously evaluates multiple timeframes to identify which MA length most accurately predicts future price movement, creating a responsive trend line that adapts to changing market conditions.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator employs a dynamic optimization algorithm to select the most effective moving average:
• Period Testing: Evaluates MA lengths from 5 to 100 periods to find the optimal timeframe
• Predictive Error: Measures each MA's accuracy by comparing it to the actual price 5 bars in the future
• Trend Weighting: Incorporates Rate of Change (ROC) to give higher priority to trend-following capabilities
• Error Minimization: Selects the MA length with the lowest weighted predictive error
• Smoothing: Applies an exponential smoothing factor (0.2) to prevent erratic changes in the trend line
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
• Adaptive Trend Line: A yellow line representing the smoothed optimal moving average that dynamically adjusts its period
• Color-Coded Fills: Green areas when price is above the optimal MA (bullish), red when price is below (bearish)
• Opacity Gradient: Fill transparency provides visual context for the relationship between price and the trend line
• Real-Time Optimization Display: A table in the top-right corner shows the current optimal MA length
Interpretation:
• Bullish Signal: Price above the yellow DAMA line with green fill indicates upward momentum
• Bearish Signal: Price below the yellow DAMA line with red fill suggests downward pressure
• Trend Changes: Watch for crossovers between price and the DAMA for potential trend shifts
• Optimal Length Changes: Shorter optimal lengths may indicate trending markets, while longer lengths often appear in ranging conditions
🔶 EXAMPLES
The indicator demonstrates:
• Trend Identification: The DAMA hugs price more closely during trends while maintaining enough distance to filter noise
• Dynamic Adaptation: The MA length automatically adjusts shorter during strong trends and longer during consolidations
• Forward-Looking: By optimizing based on future price projection (5 bars), the indicator anticipates price movements better than traditional MAs
• Smooth Transitions: The smoothing algorithm prevents whipsaws while still allowing the MA to adapt to changing conditions
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
• Min/Max Length: Define the range of MA periods to test (default: 5-100)
• Step Size: Set the increment for testing different MA lengths (default: 1)
• Lookahead: Adjust the number of bars to project ahead for optimization (default: 5)
• Smoothing Factor: Control how quickly the MA adapts to new optimal lengths (default: 0.2)
The Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average (DAMA) indicator offers traders a sophisticated yet intuitive trend-following tool that eliminates the need to manually select MA periods.
Its self-optimizing algorithm continuously identifies the most effective moving average length based on actual price prediction accuracy, making it valuable for various trading strategies across different market environments and timeframes.
Trend Targets [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script combines a smoothed trend-following model with dynamic price rejection logic and ATR-based target projection to give traders a complete visual framework for trading trend continuations. It overlays on price and automatically detects potential trend shifts, confirms rejections near dynamic support/resistance, and displays calculated stop-loss and take-profit levels to support structured risk-reward management. Unlike traditional indicators that only show trend direction or signal entries, this tool brings together a unique mix of signal validation, volatility-aware positioning, and layered profit-taking to guide decision-making with more context.
CONCEPTS
The core trend logic is built on a custom Supertrend that uses an ATR-based band structure with long smoothing chains—first through a WMA, then an EMA—allowing the trend line to respond to major shifts while ignoring noise. A key addition is the use of rejection logic: the script looks for consolidation candles that "hug" the smoothed trend line and counts how many consecutive bars reject from it. This behavior often precedes significant moves. A user-defined threshold filters out weak tests and highlights only meaningful rejections.
FEATURES
Trend Detection : Automatically identifies trend direction using a smoothed Supertrend (WMA + EMA), with shape markers on trend shifts and color-coded bars for clarity.
Rejection Signals : Detects price rejections at the trend line after a user-defined number of consolidation bars; plots ▲/▼ icons to highlight strong continuation setups.
Target Projection : On trend confirmation, plots entry, stop-loss (ATR-based), and three dynamic take-profit levels based on customizable multiples.
Dynamic Updates : All levels (entry, SL, TP1–TP3) auto-adjust based on volatility and are labeled in real time on the chart.
Customization : Users can tweak trend parameters, rejection confirmation count, SL/TP ratios, smoothing lengths, and appearance settings.
Alerts : Built-in alerts for trend changes, rejection events, and when TP1, TP2, or TP3 are reached.
Chart Overlay : Plots directly on price chart with minimal clutter and clearly labeled levels for easy trading.
USAGE
Start by tuning the Supertrend factor and ATR period to fit your asset and timeframe—higher values will catch bigger swings, lower values catch faster moves. The confirmation count should match how tightly you want to filter rejection behavior—higher values make signals rarer but stronger. When the trend shifts, the indicator colors the bars and line accordingly, and if enabled, plots the full entry-TP-SL structure. Rejection markers appear only after enough qualifying bars confirm price pressure at the trend line. This is especially useful for continuation plays where price retests the trend but fails to break it. All calculations are based on volatility (ATR), so targets naturally adjust with market conditions. Add alerts to get notified of important signals even when away from the chart.
Swing Trade IndicatorThis is a Swing Trade Indicator that combines several technical indicators to analyze market conditions and generate trade signals. I've included two tables that provide real-time information to help you analyze the market and track trades: the Market Status Table and the Trade Tracking Table. These tables are overlaid on the TradingView chart and are customizable in terms of position and visibility.
Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
Determines trend direction (e.g., bullish if fastMA > slowMA).
Calculates the average closing price over a set period:
fastMA: 21-period SMA (short-term trend).
slowMA: 50-period SMA (medium-term trend).
ultraSlowMA: 200-period SMA (long-term trend).
How:
ta.sma(close, fastLength) computes the SMA of the closing price over fastLength bars (similarly for slowLength and ultraSlowLength).
Volume Analysis:
Identifies potential liquidity spikes.
Measures trading volume to detect high activity.
Average volume over liquidityPeriod (20 bars).
Standard deviation of volume to set a dynamic threshold.
How:
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, liquidityPeriod): Average volume.
volumeStdDev = ta.stdev(volume, liquidityPeriod): Volatility of volume.
highVolume = volume > avgVolume + volumeStdDev * volumeThresholdMultiplier: Flags high volume if it exceeds the average plus a multiplier (default 1.0) times the standard deviation.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Filters entries to avoid overextended markets.
Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
14-period RSI with thresholds at 60 (overbought) and 40 (oversold).

Average Directional Index (ADX):
Gauges whether the trend is strong enough to trade.
Assesses trend strength.
14-period ADX.
How:
Calculates True Range (tr), Plus Directional Movement (plusDM), and Minus Directional Movement (minusDM).
Smooths these with ta.rma (Running Moving Average) over adxLength (14).
Computes plusDI and minusDI (directional indicators), then dx (difference), and finally adxValue = ta.rma(dx, adxLength) for trend strength.
Classifies as "Strong" (≥40), "Moderate" (≥20), or "Weak" (<20).
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) (Optional):
Optional filter for entry conditions if useMacdFilter is enabled.
Tracks momentum and trend changes.
Fast EMA (12), Slow EMA (26), Signal Line (9).
How:
= ta.macd(close, macdFastLength, macdSlowLength, macdSignalLength) computes the MACD components.
macdBullish = macdLine > signalLine: Bullish signal.
macdBearish = macdLine < signalLine: Bearish signal.
Liquidity Zones:
Confirms entries near key levels and suggests next trade setups.
Identifies support and resistance levels based on recent price extremes.
Dynamic levels over 20 bars (if useDynamicLevels is true).
How:
highLiquidityLevel1 = ta.highest(high, 20): Highest high in last 20 bars.
highLiquidityLevel2 = ta.highest(high , 20): Highest high from 20 to 40 bars ago.
highLiquidityLevel3 = ta.lowest(low, 20): Lowest low in last 20 bars.
highLiquidityLevel4 = ta.lowest(low , 20): Lowest low from 20 to 40 bars ago.
Upper and lower zones are derived (upperLevel, lowerLevel), with a midpoint between them.
How It Calculates Entries and Exits
Long Entry:
Basic Conditions (longEntry):
close > fastMA: Price is above the 21-period SMA.
fastMA > slowMA: Short-term trend is above medium-term trend (bullish).
rsiValue < rsiOverbought: RSI below 60 (not overbought).
(not useMacdFilter or macdBullish): If MACD filter is off, ignore it; if on, MACD must be bullish.
Confirmed Entry (confirmedLongEntry):
longEntry is true.
close >= highLiquidityLevel3 * 0.95 and close <= highLiquidityLevel3 * 1.05: Price is within 5% of the lower liquidity level (support).
Action: Sets currentPosition = 'long', records entry price and bar, plots a green triangle below the bar.
Short Entry:
Basic Conditions (shortEntry):
close < fastMA: Price is below the 21-period SMA.
fastMA < slowMA: Short-term trend is below medium-term trend (bearish).
rsiValue > rsiOversold: RSI above 40 (not oversold).
(not useMacdFilter or macdBearish): If MACD filter is off, ignore it; if on, MACD must be bearish.
Confirmed Entry (confirmedShortEntry):
shortEntry is true.
close <= highLiquidityLevel1 * 1.05 and close >= highLiquidityLevel1 * 0.95: Price is within 5% of the upper liquidity level (resistance).
Action: Sets currentPosition = 'short', records entry price and bar, plots a red triangle above the bar.
Exit Conditions
Note: The exit logic is defined but commented out in the script (//longExit and //shortExit), meaning it doesn’t automatically exit positions. It calculates stop-loss and take-profit levels for manual use:
Long Exit (if uncommented):
close < stopLossLevelLong: Price falls below stop-loss (entry price × (1 - 1.5%)).
close > takeProfitLevelLong: Price exceeds take-profit (entry price × (1 + 1.5% × 2.0)).
Short Exit (if uncommented):
close > stopLossLevelShort: Price rises above stop-loss (entry price × (1 + 1.5%)).
close < takeProfitLevelShort: Price falls below take-profit (entry price × (1 - 1.5% × 2.0)).
Suggested Levels: The script provides suggestedLongSL, suggestedLongTP, suggestedShortSL, and suggestedShortTP in the Market Status Table, based on liquidity levels rather than entry price, for manual exits.

Auto TrendLines [TradingFinder] Support Resistance Signal Alerts🔵 Introduction
The trendline is one of the most essential tools in technical analysis, widely used in financial markets such as Forex, cryptocurrency, and stocks. A trendline is a straight line that connects swing highs or swing lows and visually indicates the market’s trend direction.
Traders use trendlines to identify price structure, the strength of buyers and sellers, dynamic support and resistance zones, and optimal entry and exit points.
In technical analysis, trendlines are typically classified into three categories: uptrend lines (drawn by connecting higher lows), downtrend lines (formed by connecting lower highs), and sideways trends (moving horizontally). A valid trendline usually requires at least three confirmed touchpoints to be considered reliable for trading decisions.
Trendlines can serve as the foundation for a variety of trading strategies, such as the trendline bounce strategy, valid breakout setups, and confluence-based analysis with other tools like candlestick patterns, divergences, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels.
Additionally, trendlines are categorized into internal and external, and further into major and minor levels, each serving unique roles in market structure analysis.
🔵 How to Use
Trendlines are a key component in technical analysis, used to identify market direction, define dynamic support and resistance zones, highlight strategic entry and exit points, and manage risk. For a trendline to be reliable, it must be drawn based on structural principles—not by simply connecting two arbitrary points.
🟣 Selecting Pivot Types Based on Trend Direction
The first step is to determine the market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
Then, choose pivot points that match the trend type :
In an uptrend, trendlines are drawn by connecting low pivots, especially higher lows.
In a downtrend, trendlines are formed by connecting high pivots, specifically lower highs.
It is crucial to connect pivots of the same type and structure to ensure the trendline is valid and analytically sound.
🟣 Pivot Classification
This indicator automatically classifies pivot points into two categories :
Major Pivots :
MLL : Major Lower Low
MHL : Major Higher Low
MHH : Major Higher High
MLH : Major Lower High
These define the primary structure of the market and are typically used in broader structural analysis.
Minor Pivots :
mLL: minor Lower Low
mHL: minor Higher Low
mHH: minor Higher High
mLH: minor Lower High
These are used for drawing more precise trendlines within corrective waves or internal price movements.
Example : In a downtrend, drawing a trendline from an MHH to an mHH creates structural inconsistency and introduces noise. Instead, connect points like MHL to MHL or mLH to mLH for a valid trendline.
🟣 Drawing High-Precision Trendlines
To ensure a reliable trendline :
Use pivots of the same classification (Major with Major or Minor with Minor).
Ensure at least three valid contact points (three touches = structural confirmation).
Draw through candles with the least deviation (choose wicks or bodies based on confluence).
Preferably draw from right to left for better alignment with current market behavior.
Use parallel lines to turn a single trendline into a trendline zone, if needed.
🟣 Using Trendlines for Trade Entries
Bounce Entry: When price approaches the trendline and shows signs of reversal (e.g., a reversal candle, divergence, or support/resistance), enter in the direction of the trend with a logical stop-loss.
Breakout Entry: When price breaks through the trendline with strong momentum and a confirmation (such as a retest or break of structure), consider trading in the direction of the breakout.
🟣 Trendline-Based Risk Management
For bounce entries, the stop-loss is placed below the trendline or the last pivot low (in an uptrend).
For breakout entries, the stop-loss is set behind the breakout candle or the last structural level.
A broken trendline can also act as an exit signal from a trade.
🟣 Combining Trendlines with Other Tools (Confluence)
Trendlines gain much more strength when used alongside other analytical tools :
Horizontal support and resistance levels
Moving averages (such as EMA 50 or EMA 200)
Fibonacci retracement zones
Candlestick patterns (e.g., Engulfing, Pin Bar)
RSI or MACD divergences
Market structure breaks (BoS / ChoCH)
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This defines how sensitive the pivot detection is. A higher number means the algorithm will identify more significant pivot points, resulting in longer-term trendlines.
Alerts
Alert :
Enable or disable the entire alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose how often alerts trigger (every time, once per bar, or on bar close)
Select the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Each trendline type supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks the trendline
React Alert : Triggered when price reacts or bounces off the trendline
These alerts can be independently enabled or disabled for all trendline categories (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down).
Display :
For each of the eight trendline types, you can control :
Whether to show or hide the line
Whether to delete the previous line when a new one is drawn
Color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), extension direction (e.g., right only), and width
Major lines are typically thicker and more opaque, while minor lines appear thinner and more transparent.
All settings are designed to give the user full control over the appearance, behavior, and alert system of the indicator, without requiring manual drawing or adjustments.
🔵 Conclusion
A trendline is more than just a line on the chart—it is a structural, strategic, and flexible tool in technical analysis that can serve as the foundation for understanding price behavior and making trading decisions. Whether in trending markets or during corrections, trendlines help traders identify market direction, key zones, and high-potential entry and exit points with precision.
The accuracy and effectiveness of a trendline depend on using structurally valid pivot points and adhering to proper market logic, rather than relying on guesswork or personal bias.
This indicator is built to solve that exact problem. It automatically detects and draws multiple types of trendlines based on actual price structure, separating them into Major/Minor and Internal/External categories, and respecting professional analytical principles such as pivot type, trend direction, and structural location.
HEMA Trend Levels [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script plots two Hull-EMA (HEMA) curves to define a color-coded dynamic trend zone and generate context-aware breakout levels, allowing traders to easily visualize prevailing momentum and identify high-probability breakout retests. The script blends smoothed price tracking with conditional box plotting, delivering both trend-following and mean-reversion signals within one system. It is designed to be simple to read visually while offering nuanced trend shifts and test confirmations.
█ CONCEPTS
The Hull-EMA (HEMA) is a hybrid moving average combining the responsiveness of short EMAs with the smoothness of longer ones. It applies layered smoothing: first by subtracting a full EMA from a half-length EMA (doubling the short EMA's weight), and then by smoothing the result again with the square root of the original length. This process reduces lag while maintaining clarity in direction changes. In this script, two HEMAs—fast and slow—are used to define the trend structure and trigger events when they cross. These crossovers generate "trend shift boxes"—temporary support or resistance zones drawn immediately after trend transitions—to detect price retests in the new direction. When price cleanly retests these levels, the script marks them as confirmations with triangle symbols, helping traders isolate better continuation setups. Color-coded bars further enhance visual interpretation: bullish bars when price is above both HEMAs, bearish when below, and neutral (gray) when indecisive.
█ FEATURES
Bullish and bearish bar coloring based on price and HEMA alignment.
Box plotting at each crossover (bullish or bearish) to create short-term decision zones.
Real-time test detection: price must cleanly test and bounce from box levels to be considered valid.
Multiple alert conditions: crossover alerts, test alerts, and trend continuation alerts.
█ USAGE
Use this indicator on any time frame and asset. Adjust HEMA lengths to match your trading style—shorter lengths for scalping or intraday, longer for swing trading. The shaded area between HEMAs helps visually define the current trend. Watch for crossovers: a bullish crossover plots a green support box just below price, and a bearish one plots a red resistance box just above. These zones act as short-term decision points. When price returns to test a box and confirms with strong rejection (e.g., closes above for bullish or below for bearish), a triangle symbol is plotted. These tests can signal strong trend continuation. For traders looking for clean entries, combining the crossover with a successful retest improves reliability. Alerts can be enabled for all key signals: trend shift, test confirmations, and continuation conditions, making it suitable for automated setups or discretionary traders tracking multiple charts.
Ehlers Adaptive Trend Indicator [Alpha Extract]Ehlers Adaptive Trend Indicator
The Ehlers Adaptive Trend Indicator combines Ehlers' advanced digital signal processing techniques with dynamic volatility bands to identify robust trend conditions and potential reversals. This powerful tool helps traders visualize trend strength, adaptive support/resistance levels, and momentum shifts across various market conditions.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator employs a sophisticated adaptive algorithm that responds to changing market conditions:
• Ehlers Filter : Calculates a weighted average based on momentum differences to create an adaptive trend baseline.
• Dynamic Bands : Volatility-adjusted bands that expand and contract based on recent price action.
• Trend Level : A dynamic support/resistance level that adapts to the current trend direction.
• Smoothed Volatility : Market volatility measured and smoothed to provide reliable band width.
Formula:
• Ehlers Basis = Weighted average of price, with weights determined by momentum differences
• Volatility = Standard deviation of price over Ehlers Length period
• Smoothed Volatility = EMA of volatility over Smoothing Length
• Upper Band = Ehlers Basis + Smoothed Volatility × Sensitivity
• Lower Band = Ehlers Basis - Smoothed Volatility × Sensitivity
• Trend Level = Adaptive support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features :
• Ehlers Basis Line (Yellow): The core adaptive trend reference that serves as the primary trend indicator.
• Trend Level Line (Dynamic Color): Changes between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on the current trend state.
• Fill Areas : Transparent green fill during bullish trends and transparent red fill during bearish trends for clear visual identification.
• Bar Coloring : Optional price bar coloring that reflects the current trend direction for enhanced visualization.
Interpretation :
• **Bullish Signal**: Price crosses above the upper band, triggering a trend change with the Trend Level becoming dynamic support.
• **Bearish Signal**: Price drops below the lower band, confirming a trend change with the Trend Level becoming dynamic resistance.
• **Trend Continuation**: Trend Level rises in bullish markets and falls in bearish markets, providing adaptive trailing support/resistance.
🔶 EXAMPLES
The chart demonstrates:
• Bullish Trend Identification : When price breaks above the upper band, the indicator shifts to bullish mode with green trend level and fill.
• Bearish Trend Identification : When price falls below the lower band, the indicator shifts to bearish mode with red trend level and fill.
• Trend Persistence : Trend Level adapts to market movement, rising during uptrends to provide dynamic support and falling during downtrends to act as resistance.
Example Snapshots :
• During a strong uptrend, the Trend Level continuously adjusts upward, keeping traders in the trend while filtering out minor retracements.
• During trend reversals, clear color changes and Trend Level shifts provide early warning of potential direction changes.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options :
• Ehlers Length (p1) (Default: 30): Controls the primary adaptive calculation period, balancing responsiveness with stability.
