Dynamic Volatility EnvelopeDynamic Volatility Envelope: Indicator Overview
The Dynamic Volatility Envelope is an advanced, multi-faceted technical indicator designed to provide a comprehensive view of market trends, volatility, and potential future price movements. It centers around a customizable linear regression line, enveloped by dynamically adjusting volatility bands. The indicator offers rich visual feedback through gradient coloring, candle heatmaps, a background volatility pulse, and an on-chart trend strength meter.
Core Calculation Mechanism
Linear Regression Core :
-A central linear regression line is calculated based on a user-defined source (e.g., close, hl2) and lookback period.
-The regression line can be optionally smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to reduce noise.
-The slope of this regression line is continuously calculated to determine the current trend direction and strength.
Volatility Channel :
-Dynamic bands are plotted above and below a central basis line. This basis is typically the calculated regression line but shifts to an EMA in Keltner mode.
-The width of these bands is determined by market volatility, using one of three user-selectable modes:
ATR Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Standard Deviation Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Standard Deviation of the source data.
Keltner Mode (EMA-based ATR) : ATR-based bands are plotted around a central Keltner EMA line, offering a smoother channel.
The channel helps identify dynamic support and resistance levels and assess market volatility.
Future Projection :
The indicator can project the current regression line and its associated volatility bands into the future for a user-defined number of bars. This provides a visual guide for potential future price pathways based on current trend and volatility characteristics.
Candle Heatmap Coloring :
-Candle bodies and/or wicks/borders can be colored based on the price's position within the upper and lower volatility bands.
-Colors transition in a gradient from bearish (when price is near the lower band) through neutral (mid-channel) to bullish (when price is near the upper band), providing an intuitive visual cue of price action relative to the dynamic envelope.
Background Volatility Pulse :
The chart background color can be set to dynamically shift based on a ratio of short-term to long-term ATR. This creates a "pulse" effect, where the background subtly changes color to indicate rising or falling market volatility.
Trend Strength Meter :
An on-chart text label displays the current trend status (e.g., "Strong Bullish", "Neutral", "Bearish") based on the calculated slope of the regression line relative to user-defined thresholds for normal and strong trends.

Visual Elements Explained
Regression Line : The primary trend line. Its color dynamically changes (e.g., green for uptrend, red-pink for downtrend, neutral for flat) based on its slope, with smooth gradient transitions.
Volatility Channel :
Upper & Lower Bands : These lines form the outer boundaries of the envelope, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Channel Fill : The area between the band center and the outer bands is filled with a vertical gradient. For example, the upper band fill might transition from a darker green near the center to a lighter green at the upper band.
Band Borders : The lines outlining the upper and lower bands, with customizable color and width.
Future Projection Lines & Fill :
Projected Regression Line : An extension of the current regression line into the future, typically styled differently (e.g., dashed).
Projected Channel Bands : Extensions of the upper and lower volatility bands.
Projected Area Fill : A semi-transparent fill between the projected upper and lower bands.
Candle Heatmap Coloring : When enabled, candles are colored based on their closing price's relative position within the channel. Bullish colors appear when price is in the upper part of the channel, bearish in the lower, and neutral in the middle. Users can choose to color the entire candle body or just the wicks and borders.
Background Volatility Pulse : The chart's background color subtly shifts (e.g., between a calm green and an agitated red-pink) to reflect the current volatility regime.
Trend Strength Meter : A text label (e.g., "TREND: STRONG BULLISH") positioned on the chart, providing an at-a-glance summary of the trend.
Configuration Options
Users can tailor the indicator extensively via the settings panel, with options logically grouped:
Core Analysis Engine : Adjust regression source data, lookback period, and EMA smoothing for the regression line.
Regression Line Visuals : Control visibility, line width, trend-based colors (uptrend, downtrend, flat), slope thresholds for trend definition, strong slope multiplier (for Trend Meter), and color gradient sharpness.
Volatility Channel Configuration : Select band calculation mode (ATR, StdDev, Keltner), set relevant periods and multipliers. Customize colors for vertical gradient fills (upper/lower, top/bottom), border line colors, widths, and the gradient spread factor for fills.
Future Projection Configuration : Toggle visibility, set projection length (number of bars), line style, and colors for projected regression and band areas.
Appearance & Candle Theme : Set default bull/bear candle colors, enable/disable candle heatmap, choose if body color matches heatmap, and configure heatmap gradient target colors (bull, neutral, bear) and the gradient's midpoint.
Background Volatility Pulse : Enable/disable the background effect and configure short/long ATR periods for the volatility calculation.
Trend Strength Meter : Enable/disable the meter, and choose its on-chart position and text size.
Interpretation Notes
-The Regression Line is the primary indicator of trend direction. Its slope and color provide immediate insight.
-The Volatility Bands serve as dynamic support and resistance zones. Price approaching or touching these bands may indicate potential turning points or breakouts. The width of the channel itself reflects market volatility – widening suggests increasing volatility, while narrowing suggests consolidation.
Future Projections are not predictions but rather an extension of current conditions. They can help visualize potential areas where price might interact with projected support/resistance if the current trend and volatility persist.
Candle Heatmap Coloring offers a quick visual assessment of where price is trading within the dynamic envelope, highlighting strength or weakness relative to the channel.
The Background Volatility Pulse gives a contextual feel for overall market agitation or calmness.
This indicator is designed to be a comprehensive analytical tool. Its signals and visualizations are best used in conjunction with other technical analysis techniques, price action study, and robust risk management practices. It is not intended as a standalone trading system.

Volatilità
Volume fightThe Volume fight indicator looks for the predominance of bullish or bearish trading volume on the chart by dividing the trading volume in the bar into 2 parts - "bullish volume" and "bearish volume", and comparing the weighted average values by volume with each other at a given distance.
This indicator is suitable for any instrument (cryptocurrency, Forex, stocks) and is able to work on any TF.
The Volume fight indicator should be used as an auxiliary indicator that tells you who is currently prevailing in the market - " bulls "or"bears".
To configure the indicator, it is necessary to set the range of evaluation of the predominance of bullish or bearish volume (the number of bars, by default-24 bars for TF=1H). The smaller the TF, the higher the range value should be used to filter out false signals.
When there is a predominance of "bulls" on the chart, a green triangle appears (relevant at the close of the bar) and the histogram is highlighted in green, when "bears" appear on the chart, a red triangle appears (relevant at the close of the bar) and the histogram is highlighted in red.
In the indicator settings, there is smoothing to reduce false signals and highlight the flat zone by specifying a percentage, at least which should be the difference between the forces of the "bullish" and "bearish" volume. If the difference between the volume forces is less than the specified one (by default-15%), the zone is considered flat and is displayed in gray on the histogram.
If you set the percentage to zero, the flat zones will not be highlighted, but there will be much more false signals, since the indicator becomes very sensitive when the smoothing percentage decreases.
There is a function-to show the color background of the current trading zone. For" bullish "- green, for" bearish " - red.
In the settings, you can enable the display and use of each signal in the trading zone, not only the initial one, but also each after the flat zone. By default, only the signal of the beginning of the ascending/descending zone is used.
The indicator has alerts for "bullish" and "bearish" movements. Use alerts - "Once per bar close".

Индикатор Volume fight ищет на графике преобладание бычьего или медвежьего объёма торгов путём разделения торгового объёма в баре на 2 части - "бычий объём" и "медвежий объём", и сравнения средне-взвешенных значений по объёму между собой на заданной дистанции.
Данный индикатор подходит для любого инструмента (криптовалюта, Forex, акции) и способен работать на любом ТФ.
Индикатор Volume fight следует использовать как вспомогательный индикатор, который подсказывает Вам кто сейчас преобладает на рынке - "быки" или "медведи".
Для настройки индикатора необходимо выставить диапазон оценки преобладания бычьего или медвежьего объема (количество баров, по умолчанию - 24 бара для ТФ=1Ч). Чем меньше ТФ, тем выше следует использовать значение диапазона, чтобы отфильтровать ложные сигналы.
При возникновении преобладания на графике "быков" появляется зелёный треугольник (актуален по закрытию бара) и гистограмма подсвечивается зелёным цветом, при возникновении на графике "медведей" появляется красный треугольник (актуален по закрытию бара) и гистограмма подсвечивается красным цветом.
В настройках индикатора есть сглаживание для уменьшения ложных сигналов и выделения зоны флета с помощью указания процента, не менее которого, должна быть разница между силами "бычьего" и "медвежьего" объёма. Если разница между силами объёмов меньше заданного (по умолчанию - 15%), то зона считается флетовой и отображается на гистограмме серым цветом.
Если выставить процент равным нулю, то зоны флета выделяться не будут, но будет гораздо больше ложных сигналов, так как индикатор становится очень чувствительным при снижении процента сглаживания.
Есть функция - показывать цветовой фон текущей торговой зоны. Для "бычьего" - зелёный, для "медвежьего" - красный.
В настройках можно включить отображение и использование каждого сигнал в торговой зоне, не только начального, но и каждого после зоны флета. По умолчанию - только сигнал начала восходящей/нисходящей зоны.
Индикатор имеет оповещения для "бычьего" и "медвежьего" движения. Используйте оповещения - "на закрытии бара".

UT Bot + Hull MA Confirmed Signal DelayOverview
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability reversal entry signals by combining "UT Bot Alerts" (UT Bot Alerts script adapted from QuantNomad - Originally developed by Yo_adriiiiaan and idea of original code for "UT Bot Alerts" from HPotter ) with confirmation from a Hull Moving Average (HMA) Developed by Alan Hull . It focuses on capturing momentum shifts that often precede trend reversals, helping traders identify potential entry points while filtering out false signals.
🔍 How It Works
This strategy operates in two stages:
1. UT Bot Momentum Trigger
The foundation of this script is the "UT Bot Alerts" , which uses an ATR-based trailing stop to detect momentum changes. Specifically:
The script calculates a dynamic stop level based on the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined sensitivity factor (Key Value).
When price closes above this trailing stop and the short-term EMA crosses above the stop, a potential buy setup is triggered.
Conversely, when price closes below the trailing stop and the short-term EMA crosses below, a potential sell setup is triggered.
These UT Bot alerts are designed to identify the initial shift in market direction, acting as the first filter in the signal process.
2. Hull MA Confirmation
To reduce noise and false triggers from the UT Bot alone, this script delays the entry signal until price confirms the move by crossing the Hull Moving Average (or its variants: HMA, THMA, EHMA) in the same direction as the UT Bot trigger:
A Buy Signal is generated only when:
A UT Bot Buy condition is active, and
The price closes above the Hull MA.
Or, if a UT Bot Buy condition was recently triggered but price hadn’t yet crossed above the Hull MA, a delayed buy is signaled when price finally breaks above it.
A Sell Signal is generated only when:
A UT Bot Sell condition is active, and
The price closes below the Hull MA.
Similarly, a delayed sell signal can occur if price breaks below the Hull MA shortly after a UT Bot Sell trigger.
This dual-confirmation process helps traders avoid premature entries and improves the reliability of reversal signals.
📈 Best Use Cases
Reversal Trading: This strategy is particularly well-suited for catching early trend reversals rather than trend continuations. It excels at identifying momentum pivots that occur after pullbacks or exhaustion moves.
Heikin Ashi Charts Recommended: The script offers a Heikin Ashi mode for smoothing out noise and enhancing visual clarity. Using Heikin Ashi candles can further reduce whipsaws and highlight cleaner shifts in trend direction.
MACD Alignment: For best results, trade in the direction of the MACD trend or use it as a filter to avoid counter-trend trades.
⚠️ Important Notes
Entry Signals Only: This indicator only plots entry points (Buy and Sell signals). It does not define exit strategies, so users should manage trades manually using trailing stops, profit targets, or other exit indicators.
No Signal = No Confirmation: You may see a UT Bot trigger without a corresponding Buy/Sell signal. This means the price did not confirm the move by crossing the Hull MA, and therefore the setup was considered too weak or incomplete.
⚙️ Customization
UT Bot Sensitivity: Adjust the “Key Value” and “ATR Period” to make the UT Bot more or less reactive to price action.
Use Heikin Ashi: Toggle between standard candles or Heikin Ashi in the indicator settings for a smoother trading experience.
The HMA length may also be modified in the indicator settings from its standard 55 length to increase or decrease the sensitivity of signal.
This strategy is best used by traders looking for a structured, logic-based way to enter early into reversals with added confirmation to reduce risk. By combining two independent systems—momentum detection (UT Bot) and trend confirmation (Hull MA)—it aims to provide high-confidence entries without overwhelming complexity.
Let the indicator guide your entries—you manage the exits.
Examples of use:
Futures:
Stock:
Crypto:
As shown in the snapshots this strategy, like most, works the best when price action has a sizeable ATR and works the least when price is choppy. Therefore it is always best to use this system when price is coming off known support or resistance levels and when it is seen to respect short term EMA's like the 9 or 15.
My personal preference to use this system is for day trading on a 3 or 5 minute chart. But it is valid for all timeframes and simply marks a high probability for a new trend to form.

Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) - Order Flow and Volatility Regime Detector
The PVFI is a next-generation indicator that fuses the Order Flow Polarity Index (OFPI) with a proprietary VoVix Volume Delta (VVD) engine. This tool is designed for traders who want to see not just how much volume is trading, but who is in control and how volatility is shifting beneath the surface.
What Makes PVFI Standout from the rest?
- Dual Engine: PVFI combines two advanced signals:
* OFPI: Measures real-time buy/sell pressure using candle body position and volume, then smooths it with a T3 moving average for clarity and responsiveness.
* VVD: Captures the "volatility of volume delta" - a normalized, memory-boosted measure of aggressive buying/selling, with a custom non-linear clamp for organic, non-pegged signals.
- Visual Clarity: Neon-glow OFPI line and shadowed, color-gradient VVD area make regime shifts and momentum instantly visible.
- Adaptive Dashboard: Toggle between a full-featured dashboard (desktop) and a compact info line (mobile) for seamless use on any device.
- Universal: Works on any asset - crypto, stocks, futures, forex - and any timeframe.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, modern visuals and toggles for a pro look.
Inputs:
OFPI Lookback Length (ofpi_len): Sets the window for order flow pressure calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother. For scalping, try 5-10. For swing trading, 15-30. Crypto often benefits from shorter windows due to volatility.
OFPI T3 Smoothing Length (t3_len): Controls the smoothness of the OFPI line. Lower = more responsive, higher = smoother. Use 3-7 for fast markets, 8-15 for slow or higher timeframes.
OFPI T3 Volume Factor (t3_vf): Adjusts the T3’s sensitivity. Higher = more responsive, lower = more stable. 0.6-0.8 is typical. Raise for more “snappy” signals, lower for less noise.
VVD Delta Lookback (delta_len): Sets the window for VVD’s volume delta calculation. 10-20 for most assets. Shorter for high-volatility, longer for slow markets.
VVD Volatility Normalization Length (vol_norm_len): Normalizes VVD by recent volume. 15-30 is typical. Use higher for assets with wild volume swings.
VVD Momentum Memory (momentum_mem): Adds a “memory” boost to VVD, amplifying persistent buying/selling. 2-5 is common. Lower for choppy markets, higher for trending.
Show Dashboard (showDash): Toggles the full dashboard table (best for desktop). Turn off for a minimalist or mobile setup.
Show Compact Info Line (showInfoLabel): Toggles a single-line info label (best for mobile). Turn on for mobile or minimalist setups.
How PVFI Works:
- OFPI Calculation: Splits each candle’s volume into buy/sell pressure based on where the close is within the range. Aggregates over your chosen lookback, then smooths with a T3 moving average for a neon, lag-minimized signal.
- VVD Calculation: Measures the “aggression” of volume (body-weighted), normalizes by recent volume, and applies a memory boost for persistent trends. Uses a custom tanh clamp for a natural, non-pegged range.
- Visuals: OFPI is plotted as a neon line (with glow). VVD is a color-gradient area with a soft shadow, instantly showing regime shifts.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Desktop: Full dashboard with all key stats, color-coded and branded. Mobile: Compact info line with arrows for quick reads.
How you'll use PVFI:
- Bullish OFPI (Teal Neon, Up Arrow): Buyers are dominating. Look for breakouts, trend continuations, or confirmation with your own system.
- Bearish OFPI (Green Neon, Down Arrow): Sellers are in control. Watch for breakdowns or short setups.
- VVD Positive (Teal Area): Aggressive buying is increasing. Confirm with price action.
- VVD Negative (Purple Area): Aggressive selling is increasing. Use for risk management or short bias.
- Neutral/Flat: Market is balanced or indecisive. Consider waiting for a clear regime shift.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Use the dashboard for full context, or the info line for a quick glance on mobile.
Tips:
- For scalping, use lower lookbacks and smoothing.
- For swing trading, increase lookbacks and smoothing for stability.
- Works on all assets and timeframes - tune to your style.
Why PVFI is Unique:
- Fusion of Order Flow and Volatility: No other indicator combines body-based order flow with a volatility-of-volume delta, both visualized with modern, pro-grade graphics.
- Adaptive, Not Static: PVFI adapts to market regime, not just price movement.
- Mobile-Ready: Dashboard and info line toggles for any device.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, color-coded, and easy to read.
For Educational Use Only
PVFI is a research and educational tool, not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own strategy.
Trade with clarity. Trade with edge.

VVIX Z-Score Signal with Bidirectional ROC HighlightUsing VVIX as a leading indicator, Z scores, rate of change to front run the SPY
Range Progress TrackerRANGE PROGRESS TRACKER(RPT)
PURPOSE
This indicator helps traders visually and statistically understand how much of the typical price range (measured by ATR) has already been covered in the current period (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). It includes key features to assist in trend exhaustion analysis, reversal spotting, and smart alerting.
CORE LOGIC
The indicator calculates the current range of the selected time frame (e.g., Daily), which is:
Current Range = High - Low
This is then compared to the ATR (Average True Range) of the same time frame, which represents the average price movement range over a defined period (default is 14).
The comparison is expressed as a percentage, calculated with this formula:
Range % = (Current Range / ATR) × 100
This percentage shows how much of the “average expected move” has already occurred.
WHY IT MATTERS
When the current range approaches or exceeds 100% of ATR, it means the price has already moved as much as it typically does in a full session.
This indicates a lower probability of continuing the trend with a new high or low, especially when the price is already near the session's high or low.
This setup can signal:
A possible consolidation phase
A reversal in trend
The market entering a corrective phase
SMART ALERTS
The indicator can alert you when:
A new high is made after the range percentage exceeds your set threshold.
A new low is made after the range percentage exceeds your set threshold.
You can adjust the Range % Alert Threshold in the settings to tailor it to your trading style.

JPMorgan G7 Volatility IndexThe JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index: Scientific Analysis and Professional Applications
Introduction
The JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index (G7VOL) represents a sophisticated metric for monitoring currency market volatility across major developed economies. This indicator functions as an approximation of JPMorgan's proprietary volatility indices, providing traders and investors with a normalized measurement of cross-currency volatility conditions (Clark, 2019).
Theoretical Foundation
Currency volatility is fundamentally defined as "the statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index" (Hull, 2018, p.127). In the context of G7 currencies, this volatility measurement becomes particularly significant due to the economic importance of these nations, which collectively represent more than 50% of global nominal GDP (IMF, 2022).
According to Menkhoff et al. (2012, p.685), "currency volatility serves as a global risk factor that affects expected returns across different asset classes." This finding underscores the importance of monitoring G7 currency volatility as a proxy for global financial conditions.
Methodology
The G7VOL indicator employs a multi-step calculation process:
Individual volatility calculation for seven major currency pairs using standard deviation normalized by price (Lo, 2002)
- Weighted-average combination of these volatilities to form a composite index
- Normalization against historical bands to create a standardized scale
- Visual representation through dynamic coloring that reflects current market conditions
The mathematical foundation follows the volatility calculation methodology proposed by Bollerslev et al. (2018):
Volatility = σ(returns) / price × 100
Where σ represents standard deviation calculated over a specified timeframe, typically 20 periods as recommended by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS, 2020).
Professional Applications
Professional traders and institutional investors employ the G7VOL indicator in several key ways:
1. Risk Management Signaling
According to research by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016), elevated currency volatility often precedes broader market stress. When the G7VOL breaches its high volatility threshold (typically 1.5 times the 100-period average), portfolio managers frequently reduce risk exposure across asset classes. As noted by Borio (2019, p.17), "currency volatility spikes have historically preceded equity market corrections by 2-7 trading days."
2. Counter-Cyclical Investment Strategy
Low G7 volatility periods (readings below the lower band) tend to coincide with what Shin (2017) describes as "risk-on" environments. Professional investors often use these signals to increase allocations to higher-beta assets and emerging markets. Campbell et al. (2021) found that G7 volatility in the lowest quintile historically preceded emerging market outperformance by an average of 3.7% over subsequent quarters.
3. Regime Identification
The normalized volatility framework enables identification of distinct market regimes:
- Readings above 1.0: Crisis/high volatility regime
- Readings between -0.5 and 0.5: Normal volatility regime
- Readings below -1.0: Unusually calm markets
According to Rey (2015), these regimes have significant implications for global monetary policy transmission mechanisms and cross-border capital flows.
Interpretation and Trading Applications
G7 currency volatility serves as a barometer for global financial conditions due to these currencies' centrality in international trade and reserve status. As noted by Gagnon and Ihrig (2021, p.423), "G7 currency volatility captures both trade-related uncertainty and broader financial market risk appetites."
Professional traders apply this indicator in multiple contexts:
- Leading indicator: Research from the Federal Reserve Board (Powell, 2020) suggests G7 volatility often leads VIX movements by 1-3 days, providing advance warning of broader market volatility.
- Correlation shifts: During periods of elevated G7 volatility, cross-asset correlations typically increase what Brunnermeier and Pedersen (2009) term "correlation breakdown during stress periods." This phenomenon informs portfolio diversification strategies.
- Carry trade timing: Currency carry strategies perform best during low volatility regimes as documented by Lustig et al. (2011). The G7VOL indicator provides objective thresholds for initiating or exiting such positions.

Circuit % Marker w/ Mirrored Arrows📈 Indian Market Circuit Limit Change Tracker
This indicator automatically tracks circuit limit changes (price bands) as applied in NSE/BSE stocks.
🧠 How It Works:
Start from a user-defined initial circuit limit (e.g. 10%)
If the upper or lower limit is hit, the script waits for a user-defined cooling period (e.g. 5 trading days)
After that, it automatically adjusts to the next lower or higher band (e.g. from 10% to 5%)
Shows a visual label with the current circuit % right on the chart — placed above or below candles for better visibility
🔧 Custom Inputs:
Starting Circuit % — choose between standard NSE/BSE values (20%, 10%, 5%, 2%)
Cooling Days — how many days must pass after a circuit hit before it’s allowed to change again
Label Positioning, Color, and Size — fully customizable to suit your chart style
🚫 No Clutter:
Doesn’t draw circuit limit lines
Just clean, small labels at key turning points — as seen in real trading dashboards
🔍 Notes:
NSE and BSE manually assign circuit bands — this script does not fetch live exchange data
Use it as a visual tracker and simulator of how circuit behavior would evolve under fixed rules
ADR & ATR Extension from EMAThis indicator helps identify how extended the current price is from a chosen Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in terms of both Average Daily Range (ADR) and Average True Range (ATR).

ADR Extension = (Price - EMA) / ADR
ATR Extension = (Price - EMA) / ATR
The results are shown in a floating table on the chart.
The ADR line turns red if the price is more than 4 ADRs above the selected EMA
Customization Options:
- Select EMA length
- Choose between close or high as price input
- Set ADR and ATR periods
- Customize the label’s position, color, and transparency
- Use the chart's timeframe or a fixed timeframe

Quarter Time (Israel Time) Description
Q1 16:30–18:30 Wall Street opening; highest volatility.
Q2 18:30–20:30 Continuation or correction of the opening move.
Q3 20:30–22:30 Quieter market; often characterized by consolidation.
Q4 22:30–24:00 Preparation for market close; potential breakouts or sharp movements.
This framework assists traders in anticipating market dynamics within each quarter, enhancing decision-making by aligning strategies with typical intraday patterns.

Squeeze Momentum [Ryu_xp] - EnhancedSqueeze Momentum – Enhanced (Pine v6) combines the classic “Bollinger Bands vs. Keltner Channels” squeeze with a momentum oscillator to highlight breakouts and momentum shifts in one pane.
Key Components:
Pine v6: fully updated to TradingView’s latest Pine Script version (v6).
Configurable Inputs:
BB Length & MultFactor: set your Bollinger Bands.
KC Length & MultFactor (optionally using True Range): set your Keltner Channels.
Squeeze Logic:
Squeeze On when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels (low volatility).
Squeeze Off when Bollinger Bands expand beyond Keltner Channels (volatility breakout).
No Squeeze in all other cases.
Momentum Oscillator:
Centered on zero, built via linear regression of price vs. a combined SMA/high–low average.
Plot as a filled area:
Bright lime = rising bullish momentum
Green = bullish but slowing
Red = falling bearish momentum
Maroon = bearish but slowing
Squeeze State Marker:
Cross‐style plot at zero:
Black dot = in squeeze
Gray dot = squeeze released
Blue dot = neutral (no squeeze)
Usage Tips:
• Apply to a clean chart (no other indicators).
• Watch for squeeze release (black→gray) aligned with a color flip in the oscillator to time high-probability entries.
• Tweak BB/KC lengths and multipliers to suit different timeframes and instruments.
Multi BB (3/4/5 SD) - Separate AlertsGives alert when Price touches Bollinger Band 3 or 4 or 5 on either higher or lower sides.

ATR and Stochastics by XeodiacThis script combines two popular indicators, the Average True Range (ATR) and the Stochastic Oscillator, into a single chart for enhanced trading insights. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and what it does:
What It Does:
Average True Range (ATR):
Measures market volatility by calculating the average range of price movement over a specified period.
The ATR is plotted in blue on its natural scale, helping you assess how volatile the market is.
Stochastic Oscillator:
A momentum indicator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period.
It calculates two lines:
%K Line (Green): Tracks the raw Stochastic value.
%D Line (Red): A smoothed moving average of the %K line.
These values are plotted on a percentage scale (0-100) to indicate overbought or oversold conditions.
Inputs:
ATR Length: Specifies the number of periods used for ATR calculation (default is 14).
Stochastic %K Length: Determines the period for finding the highest high and lowest low for the %K calculation (default is 14).
Stochastic %D Smoothing: Sets the smoothing factor for the %D line (default is 3).
Visual Output:
Blue Line: Represents the ATR, showing how much price moves on average over the given period.
Green Line: The %K line of the Stochastic Oscillator, showing momentum shifts in the market.
Red Line: The %D line of the Stochastic Oscillator, providing a smoothed perspective on momentum.
Use Case:
This script is useful for:
Assessing Market Volatility: Use the ATR to understand how active the market is.
Identifying Overbought/Oversold Levels: Use the Stochastic Oscillator to identify potential reversal points.
Combining Signals: Analyze both indicators together to align volatility and momentum for better trading decisions.
ADX EMA's DistanceIt is well known to technical analysts that the price of the most volatile and traded assets do not tend to stay in the same place for long. A notable observation is the recurring pattern of moving averages that tend to move closer together prior to a strong move in some direction to initiate the trend, it is precisely that distance that is measured by the blue ADX EMA's Distance lines on the chart, normalized and each line being the distance between 2, 3 or all 4 moving averages, with the zero line being the point where the distance between them is zero, but it is also necessary to know the direction of the movement, and that is where the modified ADX will be useful.
This is the well known Directional Movement Indicator (DMI), where the +DI and -DI lines of the ADX will serve to determine the direction of the trend.
