“Trading is not a destination; it’s the journey — a path of learning, growth, and experience.”
[DEM] Multiple Linear Regression Oscillator Multiple Linear Regression Oscillator is a sophisticated momentum indicator that combines volume-weighted price action with multiple timeframe price changes to generate predictive signals through a linear regression model. The indicator calculates a volume-price ratio over 5 periods and incorporates price changes across four different lookback periods (2, 5, 10, and 20 bars), applying specific regression coefficients to each variable to produce a normalized oscillator that fluctuates around zero. The main output is plotted alongside a 10-period RMA smoothed version in yellow, with reference lines at +1, 0, and -1 to help identify overbought, neutral, and oversold conditions. This mathematical approach attempts to predict short-term price movements by weighting the historical relationship between volume, price momentum, and multi-timeframe price changes, essentially creating a data-driven oscillator that goes beyond traditional technical indicators by incorporating machine learning-derived coefficients.
[DEM] Doji Candlestick Identifier Doji Candlestick Identifier is designed to automatically detect and highlight doji candlestick patterns on the price chart by identifying bars where the opening and closing prices are nearly identical, indicating market indecision. The indicator uses statistical analysis to determine what constitutes a "near identical" open-close relationship by calculating the standard deviation of close-open differences over a specified lookback period (default 200 bars) and setting tolerance bands at one-tenth of this deviation above and below zero. When a candlestick's open-close difference falls within these narrow tolerance bands, the indicator places a small gray triangle below the bar to mark the doji pattern, helping traders quickly identify potential reversal or continuation points where buying and selling pressure are balanced.
Information Flow Analysis[b🔄 Information Flow Analysis: Systematic Multi-Component Market Analysis Framework
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND ANALYTICAL FOUNDATION
The Information Flow Kernel - Hybrid combines established technical analysis methods into a unified analytical framework. This indicator systematically processes three distinct data streams - directional price momentum, volume-weighted pressure dynamics, and intrabar development patterns - integrating them through weighted mathematical fusion to produce statistically normalized market flow measurements.
COMPREHENSIVE MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
Component 1: Directional Flow Analysis
The directional component analyzes price momentum through three mathematical vectors:
Price Vector: p = C - O (intrabar directional bias)
Momentum Vector: m = C_t - C_{t-1} (bar-to-bar velocity)
Acceleration Vector: a = m_t - m_{t-1} (momentum rate of change)
Directional Signal Integration:
S_d = \text{sgn}(p) \cdot |p| + \text{sgn}(m) \cdot |m| \cdot 0.6 + \text{sgn}(a) \cdot |a| \cdot 0.3
The signum function preserves directional information while absolute values provide magnitude weighting. Coefficients create a hierarchy emphasizing intrabar movement (100%), momentum (60%), and acceleration (30%).
Final Directional Output: K_1 = S_d \cdot w_d where w_d is the directional weight parameter.
Component 2: Volume-Weighted Pressure Analysis
Volume Normalization: r_v = \frac{V_t}{\overline{V_n}} where \overline{V_n} represents the n-period simple moving average of volume.
Base Pressure Calculation: P_{base} = \Delta C \cdot r_v \cdot w_v where \Delta C = C_t - C_{t-1} and w_v is the velocity weighting factor.
Volume Confirmation Function:
f(r_v) = \begin{cases}
1.4 & \text{if } r_v > 1.2 \
0.7 & \text{if } r_v < 0.8 \
1.0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
Final Pressure Output: K_2 = P_{base} \cdot f(r_v)
Component 3: Intrabar Development Analysis
Bar Position Calculation: B = \frac{C - L}{H - L} when H - L > 0 , else B = 0.5
Development Signal Function:
S_{dev} = \begin{cases}
2(B - 0.5) & \text{if } B > 0.6 \text{ or } B < 0.4 \
0 & \text{if } 0.4 \leq B \leq 0.6
\end{cases}
Final Development Output: K_3 = S_{dev} \cdot 0.4
Master Integration and Statistical Normalization
Weighted Component Fusion: F_{raw} = 0.5K_1 + 0.35K_2 + 0.15K_3
Sensitivity Scaling: F_{master} = F_{raw} \cdot s where s is the sensitivity parameter.
Statistical Normalization Process:
Rolling Mean: \mu_F = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} F_{master,t-i}
Rolling Standard Deviation: \sigma_F = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (F_{master,t-i} - \mu_F)^2}
Z-Score Computation: z = \frac{F_{master} - \mu_F}{\sigma_F}
Boundary Enforcement: z_{bounded} = \max(-3, \min(3, z))
Final Normalization: N = \frac{z_{bounded}}{3}
Flow Metrics Calculation:
Intensity: I = |z|
Strength Percentage: S = \min(100, I \times 33.33)
Extreme Detection: \text{Extreme} = I > 2.0
DETAILED INPUT PARAMETER SPECIFICATIONS
Sensitivity (0.1 - 3.0, Default: 1.0)
Global amplification multiplier applied to the master flow calculation. Functions as: F_{master} = F_{raw} \cdot s
Low Settings (0.1 - 0.5): Enhanced precision for subtle market movements. Optimal for low-volatility environments, scalping strategies, and early detection of minor directional shifts. Increases responsiveness but may amplify noise.
Moderate Settings (0.6 - 1.2): Balanced sensitivity for standard market conditions across multiple timeframes.
High Settings (1.3 - 3.0): Reduced sensitivity to minor fluctuations while emphasizing significant flow changes. Ideal for high-volatility assets, trending markets, and longer timeframes.
Directional Weighting (0.1 - 1.0, Default: 0.7)
Controls emphasis on price direction versus volume and positioning factors. Applied as: K_{1,weighted} = K_1 \times w_d
Lower Values (0.1 - 0.4): Reduces directional bias, favoring volume-confirmed moves. Optimal for ranging markets where momentum may generate false signals.
Higher Values (0.7 - 1.0): Amplifies directional signals from price vectors and acceleration. Ideal for trending conditions where directional momentum drives price action.
Velocity Weighting (0.1 - 1.0, Default: 0.6)
Scales volume-confirmed price change impact. Applied in: P_{base} = \Delta C \times r_v \times w_v
Lower Values (0.1 - 0.4): Dampens volume spike influence, focusing on sustained pressure patterns. Suitable for illiquid assets or news-sensitive markets.
Higher Values (0.8 - 1.0): Amplifies high-volume directional moves. Optimal for liquid markets where volume provides reliable confirmation.
Volume Length (3 - 20, Default: 5)
Defines lookback period for volume averaging: \overline{V_n} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} V_{t-i}
Short Periods (3 - 7): Responsive to recent volume shifts, excellent for intraday analysis.
Long Periods (13 - 20): Smoother averaging, better for swing trading and higher timeframes.

Volatility Assessment: High intensity without clear directional bias indicates elevated volatility with conflicting pressures.
Integration with Trading Systems
The normalized output range facilitates integration with automated trading systems and position sizing algorithms. The statistical basis provides consistent interpretation across different market conditions and asset classes.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator combines established technical analysis methods and processes historical data without predicting future price movements. The system performs optimally in liquid markets with consistent volume patterns and may produce false signals in thin trading conditions or during news-driven market events. This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Users should combine this analysis with proper risk management, position sizing, and additional confirmation methods before making any trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Note: The term "kernel" in this context refers to modular calculation components rather than mathematical kernel functions in the formal computational sense.
As quantitative analyst Ralph Vince noted: "The essence of successful trading lies not in predicting market direction, but in the systematic processing of market information and the disciplined management of probability distributions."

These are real ranges of entry and exit of large money, which give us a real advantage in making trading decisions.
Climax Absorption Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Have you ever noticed that during a sharp, fast-moving trend, the single candle with the highest volume often appears right at the end, just before the price reverses? This is no coincidence. It's the footprint of a Climax Event.
This indicator is designed to detect these critical moments of maximum panic (capitulation) and maximum euphoria (FOMO). These are the moments when retail traders are driven by emotion, creating a massive pool of liquidity. The "Climax Absorption Engine" identifies when Smart Money is likely absorbing this liquidity to enter large positions against the crowd, right before a potential reversal.
It's a tool built not just on mathematical formulas, but on the principles of market psychology and smart money activity.
How It Works: The 3-Step Logic
The indicator uses a sequential, three-step process to identify high-probability reversal setups:
1. Momentum Move Detection: First, the engine identifies a period of strong, directional momentum. It looks for a series of consecutive, same-colored candles and confirms that the move is backed by a steeply sloped moving average. This ensures we are only looking for climactic events at the end of a significant, non-random move.
2. Climax Candle Identification: Within this momentum move, the indicator scans for a candle with abnormally high volume—a volume spike that is significantly larger than the recent average. This candle is marked on your chart with a diamond shape and is identified as the Climax Candle. This is the point of peak emotion and the primary area of interest. No signal is generated yet.
3. Absorption & Reversal Confirmation: A climax is a warning, not a signal. The final signal is only triggered after the market confirms the reversal.
- For a BUY Signal: After a bearish (red) Climax Candle, the indicator waits for a subsequent green candle to close decisively above the midpoint of the Climax Candle. This confirms that the panic selling has been absorbed by buyers.
- For a SELL Signal: After a bullish (green) Climax Candle, it waits for a subsequent red candle to close decisively below the midpoint. This confirms that the euphoric buying has evaporated.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
- The Diamond Shape: A diamond shape on your chart is an early warning. It signifies that a climax event has occurred and the underlying trend is exhausted. This is the time to pay close attention and prepare for a potential reversal.
- The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable signals. They appear only after the reversal has been confirmed by price action.
- A BUY signal suggests that capitulation selling is over, and buyers have absorbed the pressure.
- A SELL signal suggests that FOMO buying is over, and sellers are now in control.
Key Settings
- Momentum Detection: Adjust the number of consecutive bars and the EMA slope required to define a valid momentum move.
- Climax Detection: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the volume spike detection using the Volume Multiplier. Higher values will find only the most extreme events.
- Confirmation Window: Define how many bars the indicator should wait for a reversal candle after a climax event before the setup is cancelled.
Ease of Movement 2.0Ease of movement EoM is how easy it is for the price to move and stay where it moved to.
This indicator is the square of the True Range (i.e. distance of price travelled between the current close and the close of the previous bar, squared) relative to the volume of the current bar. -2, -1, +1, and +2 standard deviations, and the average are all based on n=14.
E.g., if an EoM up occurs after failed attempts to mark prices down, it suggests continuation of prices to the upside.
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman) is an oscillator highlighting inefficient price displacements under low participation. It measures the most recent price move (standardized return) and amplifies it only when volume is below its own trend.
Positive readings ⇒ strong up-move on low volume → potential Buy-Side Imbalance (void below) that often refills.
Negative readings ⇒ strong down-move on low volume → potential Sell-Side Imbalance (void above) that often refills.
This tool provides a quantitative “void” proxy: when price travels far with unusually thin volume, the move is flagged as likely inefficient and prone to mean-reversion/mitigation.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Shock (Participation Filter)
Each bar, volume is compared to a rolling baseline. This is then z-scored.
// Volume Shock calculation
volTrend = ta.sma(volume, L)
vs = (volume > 0 and volTrend > 0) ? math.log(volume) - math.log(volTrend) : na
vsZ = zScore(vs, vzLen) // z-scored volume shock
lowVS = (vsZ <= vzThr) // low-volume condition
Bars with VolShock Z ≤ threshold are treated as low-volume (thin).
⚪ Prior Return Extremeness
The 1-bar log return is computed and z-scored.
// Prior return extremeness
r1 = math.log(close / close )
retZ = zScore(r1, rLen) // z-scored prior return
This shows whether the latest move is unusually large relative to recent history.
⚪ Void Oscillator
The oscillator is:
// Oscillator construction
weight = lowVS ? 1.0 : fadeNoLow
osc = retZ * weight
where Weight = 1 when volume is low, otherwise fades toward a user-set factor (0–1).
Osc > 0: up-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Buy-Side Imbalance.
Osc < 0: down-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Sell-Side Imbalance.
█ Why Use It
⚪ Targets Inefficient Moves
By filtering for low participation, the oscillator focuses on moves most likely driven by thin books/noise trading, which are statistically more likely to retrace.
⚪ Simple, Robust Logic
No need for tick data or order-book depth. It derives a practical void proxy from OHLCV, making it portable across assets and timeframes.
⚪ Complements Price-Action Tools
Use alongside FVG/imbalance zones, key levels, and volume profile to prioritize voids that carry the highest reversal probability.
█ How to Use
Sell-Side Imbalance = aggressive sell move (price goes down on low volume) → expect price to move up to fill it.
Buy-Side Imbalance = aggressive buy move (price goes up on low volume) → expect price to move down to fill it.
█ Settings
Volume Baseline Length — Bars for the volume trend used in VolShock. Larger = smoother baseline, fewer low-volume flags.
Vol Shock Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize VolShock; larger = smoother, fewer extremes.
Low-Volume Threshold (VolShock Z ≤) — Defines “thin participation.” Typical: −0.5 to −1.0.
Return Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize the 1-bar log return; larger = smoother “extremeness” measure.
Fade When Volume Not Low (0–1) — Weight applied when volume is not low. 0.00 = ignore non-low-volume bars entirely. 1.00 = treat volume condition as irrelevant (pure return extremeness).
Upper Threshold (Osc ≥) — Trigger for Sell-Side Imbalance (void below).
Lower Threshold (Osc ≤) — Trigger for Buy-Side Imbalance (void above).
