Uptrick: Volatility Weighted CloudIntroduction
The Volatility Weighted Cloud (VWC) is a trend-tracking overlay that combines adaptive volatility-based bands with a multi-source smoothed price cloud to visualize market bias. It provides users with a dynamic structure that adapts to volatility conditions while maintaining a persistent visual record of trend direction. By incorporating configurable smoothing techniques, percentile-ranked volatility, and multi-line cloud construction, the indicator allows traders to interpret price context more effectively without relying on raw price movement alone.
Overview
The script builds a smoothed price basis using the open, and close prices independently, and uses these to construct a layered visual cloud. This cloud serves both as a reference for price structure and a potential area of dynamic support and resistance. Alongside this cloud, adaptive upper and lower bands are plotted using volatility that scales with percentile rank. When price closes above or below these bands, the script interprets that as a breakout and updates the trend bias accordingly.
Candle coloring is persistent and reflects the most recent confirmed signal. Labels can optionally be placed on the chart when the trend bias flips, giving traders additional visual reference points. The indicator is designed to be both flexible and visually compact, supporting different strategies and timeframes through its detailed configuration options.
Originality
This script introduces originality through its combined use of percentile-ranked volatility, adaptive envelope sizing, and multi-source cloud construction. Unlike static-band indicators, the Volatility Weighted Cloud adjusts its band width based on where current volatility ranks within a defined lookback range. This dynamic scaling allows for smoother signal behavior during low-volatility environments and more responsive behavior during high-volatility phases.
Additionally, instead of using a single basis line, the indicator computes two separate smoothed lines for open and close. These are rendered into a shaded visual cloud that reflects price structure more completely than traditional moving average overlays. The use of ALMA and MAD, both less commonly applied in volatility-band overlays, adds further control over smoothing behavior and volatility measurement, enhancing its adaptability across different market types.
Inputs
Group: Core
Basis Length (short-term): The number of bars used for calculating the primary basis line. Affects how quickly the basis responds to price changes.
Basis Type: Option to choose between EMA and ALMA. EMA provides a standard exponential average; ALMA offers a centered, Gaussian-weighted average with reduced lag.
ALMA Offset: Determines the balance point of the ALMA window. Only applies when ALMA is selected.
Sigma: Sets the width of the ALMA smoothing window, influencing how much smoothing is applied.
Basis Smoothing EMA: Adds additional EMA-based smoothing to the computed basis line for noise reduction.
Group: Volatility & Bands
Volatility: Choose between StDev (standard deviation) and MAD (median absolute deviation) for measuring price volatility.
Vol Length (short-term): Length of the window used for calculating volatility.
Vol Smoothing EMA: Smooths the raw volatility value to stabilize band behavior.
Min Multiplier: Minimum multiplier applied to volatility when forming the adaptive bands.
Max Multiplier: Maximum multiplier applied at high volatility percentile.
Volatility Rank Lookback: Number of bars used to calculate the percentile rank of current volatility.
Show Adaptive Bands: Enables or disables the display of upper and lower volatility bands on the chart.
Group: Trend Switch Labels
Show Trend Switch Labels: Toggles the appearance of labels when the trend direction changes.
Label Anchor: Defines whether the labels are anchored to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line.
ATR Length (offset): Length used for calculating ATR, which determines label offset distance.
ATR Offset (multiplier): Multiplies the ATR value to place labels away from price bars for better visibility.
Label Size: Allows selection of label size (tiny to huge) to suit different chart setups.
Features
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The indicator calculates volatility using either standard deviation or MAD. It then applies an EMA smoothing layer and scales the band width dynamically based on the percentile rank of volatility over a user-defined lookback window. This avoids fixed-width bands and allows the indicator to adapt to changing volatility regimes in real time.
Volatility Method Options: Users can switch between two volatility measurement methods:
➤ Standard Deviation (StDev): Captures overall price dispersion, but may be sensitive to spikes.
➤ Median Absolute Deviation (MAD): A more robust measure that reduces the effect of outliers, making the bands less jumpy during erratic price behavior.
Basis Type Options: The core price basis used for cloud and bands can be built from:
➤ Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Fast-reacting and widely used in trend systems.
➤ Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA): A smoother, more centered alternative that offers greater control through offset and sigma parameters.
Multi-Line Basis Cloud: The cloud is formed by plotting two individually smoothed basis lines from open and close prices. A filled area is created between the open and close basis lines. This cloud serves as a dynamic support or resistance zone, allowing users to identify possible reversal areas. Price moving through or rejecting from the cloud can be interpreted contextually, especially when combined with band-based signals.
Persistent Trend Bias Coloring: The indicator uses the last confirmed breakout (above upper band or below lower band) to determine bias. This bias is reflected in the color of every subsequent candle, offering a persistent visual cue until a new signal is triggered. It helps simplify trend recognition, especially in choppy or sideways markets.
Trend Switch Labels: When enabled, the script places labeled markers at the exact bar where the bias direction switches. Labels are anchored either to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line, and spaced vertically using an ATR-based offset. This allows the trader to quickly locate historical trend transitions.
Alert Conditions: Two built-in alert conditions are available:
➤ Long Signal: Triggered when the close crosses above the upper adaptive band.
➤ Short Signal: Triggered when the close crosses below the lower adaptive band.
These conditions can be used for custom alerts, automation, or external signaling tools.
Display Control and Flexibility: Users can disable the adaptive bands for a cleaner layout while keeping the basis cloud and candle coloring active. The indicator can be tuned for fast or slow response depending on the strategy in use, and is suitable for intraday, swing, or position trading.
Summary
The Volatility Weighted Cloud is a configurable trend-following overlay that uses adaptive volatility bands and a structured cloud system to help visualize market bias. By combining EMA or ALMA smoothing with percentile-ranked volatility and a four-line price structure, it provides a flexible and informative charting layer. Its key strengths lie in the use of dynamic envelopes, visually persistent trend indication, and clearly defined breakout zones that adapt to current volatility conditions.

Best MA Finder: Sharpe/Sortino ScannerThis script, Best MA Finder: Sharpe/Sortino Scanner, is a tool designed to identify the moving average (SMA or EMA) that best acts as a dynamic trend threshold on a chart, based on risk-adjusted historical performance. It scans a wide range of MA lengths (SMA or EMA) and selects the one whose simple price vs MA crossover delivered the strongest results using either the Sharpe ratio or the Sortino ratio. Reading it is intuitive: when price spent time above the selected MA, conditions were on average more favorable in the backtest; below, less favorable. It is a trend and risk gauge, not an overbought or oversold signal.
What it does:
- Runs individual long-only crossover backtests for many MA lengths across short to very long horizons.
- For each length, measures the total number of trades, the annualized Sharpe ratio, and the annualized Sortino ratio.
- Uses the chosen metric value (Sharpe or Sortino) as the score to rank candidates.
- Applies a minimum trade filter to discard statistically weak results.
- Optionally applies a local stability filter to prefer a length that also outperforms its close neighbors by at least a small margin.
- Selects the optimal MA and displays it on the chart with a concise summary table.
How to use it:
- Choose MA type: SMA or EMA.
- Choose the metric: Sharpe or Sortino.
- Set the minimum trade count to filter out weak samples.
- Select the risk-free mode:
Auto: uses a short-term risk-free rate for USD-priced symbols when available.
Manual: you provide a risk-free ticker.
None: no risk-free rate.
- Optionally enable stability controls: neighbor radius and epsilon.
- Toggle the on-chart summary table as needed.
On-chart output:
- The selected optimal MA is plotted.
- The optional table shows MA length, number of trades, chosen metric value annualized, and the annual risk-free rate used.
Key features:
- Risk-adjusted optimization via Sharpe or Sortino for fair, comparable assessment.
- Broad MA scan with SMA and EMA support.
- Optional stability filter to avoid one-off spikes.
- Clear and auditable presentation directly on the chart.
Use cases:
- Traders who want a defensible, data-driven trend threshold without manual trial and error.
- Swing and trend-following workflows across timeframes and asset classes.
- Quick SMA vs EMA comparisons using risk-adjusted results.
Limitations:
- Not a full trading strategy with position sizing, costs, funding, slippage, or stops.
- Long-only, one position at a time.
- Discrete set of MA lengths, not a continuous optimizer.
- Requires sufficient price history and, if used, a reliable risk-free series.

FSVZO | Lyro RSFSVZO | Lyro RS
This script is a technical analysis tool called the FSVZO, or Fourier Smoothed Volume Zone Oscillator. It is designed to analyze market momentum and trend strength by combining price and volume data with advanced smoothing techniques. The goal is to help identify potential trends, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergence signals in a clear visual format.
Understanding the Indicator's Components
The indicator plots a main oscillator line and several supporting elements on a separate pane below the chart.
The Main Oscillator: This is the primary, colored wave. Its movement and color are key to interpretation.
Trend Direction: The color shifts between bullish and bearish tones based on the momentum of the oscillator. This provides a quick visual reference for the prevailing short-term trend.
Key Levels: Horizontal lines mark significant levels such as +60, +85, -60, and -85. Movements above +60 or below -60 can indicate strong momentum, while approaches to the extreme levels (+85/-85) may suggest overbought or oversold conditions.
Divergence Detection: The indicator can plot labels ("ℝ" for Regular, "ℍ" for Hidden) on the oscillator to signal potential divergences. These occur when the indicator's direction differs from the price action on the main chart and can sometimes foreshadow reversals or continuations.
Moving Average (MA): A central moving average line, based on the oscillator, helps to smooth out the data further and can act as a dynamic support or resistance level within the indicator pane.
White Noise Filter (Optional): This feature displays a histogram that represents market noise. It can be toggled on or off. Analyzing the histogram's behavior may provide additional context on the stability or volatility of the current trend.
Dynamic Background: The background of the indicator pane can change color to highlight periods where the momentum is particularly strong, based on the position of the moving average.
Suggested Use and Interpretation
Traders might use this indicator in several ways:
Trend Identification: Observe the color and position of the main oscillator. A predominantly bullish-colored oscillator above the zero line may suggest an upward trend, while a bearish-colored one below zero may suggest a downward trend.
Signal Confirmation: Look for the oscillator to cross key levels (like +/-40 or +/-60) in the direction of a suspected trend as a confirmation signal.
Divergence Analysis: When the price makes a new high or low that is not confirmed by a new high or low on the FSVZO oscillator (a divergence), it can be a warning of potential weakness in the trend. The "ℝ" and "ℍ" labels help to identify these scenarios.
Extreme Readings: Readings near the +85 or -85 levels can indicate that a price move may be overextended, which could precede a pause or reversal.
Customization Options
The indicator includes settings groups that allow you to adjust its behavior and appearance:
FSVZO Settings: Adjust parameters like Length and Sensitivity to make the oscillator more or less responsive to market movements.
Signals & Display: Modify visual aspects such as Smooth Length and Glowing Amount, or toggle features like the dynamic background on and off.
Colors: Choose from several pre-set color palettes to suit your visual preferences.

RSI: alternative derivationMost traders accept the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as a standard tool for measuring momentum. But what if RSI is actually a position indicator?
This script introduces an alternative derivation of RSI, offering a fresh perspective on its true nature. Instead of relying on the traditional calculation of average gains and losses, this approach directly considers the price's position relative to its equilibrium (moving average), adjusted for volatility.
While the final value remains identical to the standard RSI, this alternative derivation offers a completely new understanding of the indicator.
Key components:
Price (Close)
Utilizes the closing price, consistent with the original RSI formula.
normalization factor
Transforms raw calculations into a fixed range between -1 and +1.
normalization_factor = 1 / (Length - 1)
EMA of Price
Applies Wilder’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the price, serving as the anchor point for measuring price position, similar to the traditional RSI formula.
myEMA = ta.rma(close,Length)
EMA of close-to-close absolute changes (unit of volatility)
Adjusts for market differences by applying a Wilder’s EMA to absolute price changes (volatility), ensuring consistency across various assets.
CC_vol = ta.rma(math.abs(close - close ),Length)
Calculation Breakdown
DISTANCE:
Calculate the difference between the closing price and its Wilder's EMA. A positive value indicates the price is above the EMA; a negative value indicates it is below.
distance = close - myEMA
STANDARDIZED DISTANCE
Divide the distance by the unit of volatility to standardize the measurement across different markets.
S_distance = distance / CC_vol
NORMALIZED DISTANCE
Normalize the standardized distance using the normalization factor (n-1) to adjust for the lookback period.
N_distance = S_distance * normalization_factor
RSI
Finally, scale the normalized distance to fit within the standard RSI range of 0 to 100.
myRSI = 50 * (1 + N_distance)
The final equation:
RSI = 50 ×
What This Means for RSI
Same RSI Values, Different Interpretation
The standard RSI formula may obscure its true measurement, whereas this approach offers clarity.
RSI primarily indicates the price's position relative to its equilibrium, rather than directly measuring momentum.
RSI can still be used to analyze momentum, but in a more intuitive and well-informed way.
MACD (The Moving Average Convergence Divergence)The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis to identify trends, measure their strength, and signal potential reversals. It is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA, creating the MACD line. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, known as the signal line, is then plotted to generate buy or sell signals. Positive MACD values suggest upward momentum, while negative values indicate downward momentum. Traders often watch for crossovers, divergences, and movements relative to the zero line to make informed decisions.
AMHA + 4 EMAs + EMA50/200 Counter + Avg10CrossesDescription:
This script combines two types of Heikin-Ashi visualization with multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and a counting function for EMA50/200 crossovers. The goal is to make trends more visible, measure recurring market cycles, and provide statistical context without generating trading signals.
Logic in Detail:
Adaptive Median Heikin-Ashi (AMHA):
Instead of the classic Heikin-Ashi calculation, this method uses the median of Open, High, Low, and Close. The result smooths out price movements, emphasizes trend direction, and reduces market noise.
Standard Heikin-Ashi Overlay:
Classic HA candles are also drawn in the background for comparison and transparency. Both HA types can be shifted below the chart’s price action using a customizable Offset (Ticks) parameter.
EMA Structure:
Five exponential moving averages (21, 50, 100, 200, 500) are included to highlight different trend horizons. EMA50 and EMA200 are emphasized, as their crossovers are widely monitored as potential trend signals. EMA21 and EMA100 serve as additional structure layers, while EMA500 represents the long-term trend.
EMA50/200 Counter:
The script counts how many bars have passed since the last EMA50/200 crossover. This makes it easy to see the age of the current trend phase. A colored label above the chart displays the current counter.
Average of the Last 10 Crossovers (Avg10Crosses):
The script stores the last 10 completed count phases and calculates their average length. This provides historical context and allows traders to compare the current cycle against typical past behavior.
Benefits for Analysis:
Clearer trend visualization through adaptive Heikin-Ashi calculation.
Multi-EMA setup for quick structural assessment.
Objective measurement of trend phase duration.
Statistical insight from the average cycle length of past EMA50/200 crosses.
Flexible visualization through adjustable offset positioning below the price chart.
Usage:
Add the indicator to your chart.
For a clean look, you may switch your chart type to “Line” or hide standard candlesticks.
Interpret visual signals:
White candles = bullish phases
Orange candles = bearish phases
EMAs = structural trend filters (e.g., EMA200 as a long-term boundary)
The counter label shows the current number of bars since the last cross, while Avg10 represents the historical mean.
Special Feature:
This script is not a trading system. It does not provide buy/sell recommendations. Instead, it serves as a visual and statistical tool for market structure analysis. The unique combination of Adaptive Median Heikin-Ashi, multi-EMA framework, and EMA50/200 crossover statistics makes it especially useful for trend-followers and swing traders who want to add cycle-length analysis to their toolkit.
Adaptive Jump Moving AverageAdaptive Jump Moving Average - Description
This indicator solves the classic moving average lag problem during significant price moves. Traditional MAs (like the 200-day) take forever to catch up after a major drop or rally because they average across all historical periods equally.
How it works:
Tracks price smoothly during normal market conditions
When price moves 20%+ away from the MA, it immediately "resets" to the current price level
Treats that new level as the baseline and continues smooth tracking from there
Advantages over normal MA:
No lag on major moves: A 40% crash doesn't get diluted over 200 days - the MA instantly adapts
Reduces false signals: You won't get late "death cross" signals months after a crash already happened
Better support/resistance: The MA stays relevant to current price action instead of reflecting outdated levels
Keeps the smoothness: During normal volatility, it behaves like a traditional MA without the noise of shorter periods
Price–MA Separation (Z-Score)Price–MA Separation (Z-Score + Shading)
This indicator measures how far price is from a chosen moving average and shows it in a separate pane.
It helps traders quickly spot overextended moves and mean-reversion opportunities.
⸻
What it does
• Calculates the separation between price and a moving average (MA):
• In Points (Price − MA)
• In Percent ((Price / MA − 1) × 100%)
• Converts that separation into a Z-Score (statistical measure of deviation):
• Z = (Separation − Mean) ÷ StdDev
• Highlights when price is unusually far from the MA relative to its recent history.
⸻
Visuals
• Histogram bars:
• Green = above the MA,
• Orange = below the MA.
• Intensity increases with larger Z-Scores.
• Zero line: red baseline (price = MA).
• Z threshold lines:
• +T1 = light red (mild overbought)
• +T2 = dark red (strong overbought)
• −T1 = light green (mild oversold)
• −T2 = dark green (strong oversold)
• Default thresholds: ±1 and ±2.
⸻
Settings
• MA Type & Length: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or SMMA (RMA).
• Units: Show separation in Points or Percent.
• Plot Mode:
• Raw = distance in points/percent.
• Z-Score = standardized deviation (default).
• Absolute Mode: Show only magnitude (ignore direction).
• Smoothing: Overlay a smoothed line on the histogram.
• Z-Bands: Visual guides at ± thresholds.
⸻
How to use
• Look for large positive Z-Scores (red zones): price may be stretched far above its MA.
• Look for large negative Z-Scores (green zones): price may be stretched far below its MA.
• Use as a mean-reversion signal or to confirm trend exhaustion.
• Works well with:
• Swing entries/exits
• Overbought/oversold conditions
• Filtering other signals (RSI, MACD, VWAP)
⸻
Notes
• Z-Scores depend on the lookback window (default = 100 bars). Adjust for shorter/longer memory.
• Strong deviations don’t always mean reversal—combine with other tools for confirmation.
• Not financial advice. Always manage risk.
⸻
Try adjusting the MA length and Z-Score thresholds to fit your trading style.

Double Moving Average█ OVERVIEW
The Double Moving Average (DMA) smooths one moving average with a second moving average.
Includes moving average type, higher timeframe, offset, alerts, and style settings for all of the indicator's visual components. This indicator includes an optional line and label to indicate the latest value of the DMA that repaints.
█ CONCEPTS
Shorter term moving averages, especially in choppy markets, can rapidly increase and decrease their slope. Which could lead some traders into assuming that the series trend may continue at that steeper slope. By smoothing a moving average with another one, the magnitude of rapid choppy movements is mitigated.
█ FEATURES
DMA Customization
Most inputs have a tooltip that can be read by interacting with the information icon to guide users.
For both moving averages in the DMA, users can set the lookback length and moving average type independently. Available moving average types include:
Simple Moving Average
Exponential Moving Average
Hull Moving Average
Weighted Moving Average
Volume Weighted Moving Average
A bar offset setting is included for shifting the indicator's placement. Using different lookback combinations for both averages alongside an offset can create equivalent values of other types of moving averages not included in this indicator. For example, if the default lookback settings are offset by 1 bar, this duplicates a 4 period centered moving average.
Colors for the DMA's plot can toggle between a single "base" color, or using increasing and decreasing colors. Changing the plot's style, line style, and width is also supported.
Latest Value Line and Label
The latest value of the DMA plot is replaced by default with a feature called the Latest Value Line and Label: a stylized line and label to help indicate the part of the indicator that can repaint from the parts that don't repaint. Data used to draw this feature is calculated separately from the indicator's confirmed historical calculations.
A label is included to display the latest value of the DMA which includes complete style settings. The style of both the line and label are completely customizable; every style feature that can be included has a corresponding input you can set.
Toggling off the Latest Value Line and Label feature will cause all the respective style inputs to deactivate so that they're no longer in focus or editable until the feature is toggled on again.
Higher Timeframes
Users can plot the DMA from higher timeframes on their chart.
As new bars print, the non-repainting DMA historical plot uses the last confirmed higher timeframe value. The repainting Latest Value Line and Label will update with the most recent higher timeframe value only for the latest bar. If the Latest Value Line feature is toggled off, the last confirmed higher timeframe DMA value is plotted up to the latest bar.
The built-in Moving Average Simple (SMA) indicator includes several of the features in this indicator, like an option for using higher timeframe. However, by default, it plots no values except on bars with higher timeframe close updates. Disabling "Wait for timeframe closes" to get values between updates causes repainting in both replay mode and realtime bars.
Since the calculations that repaint are separate and optional in the DMA indicator, historical plotted values will not repaint in replay mode or on realtime bars while using higher timeframes.
Alerts
There are two DMA value options when creating an alert:
DMA Latest Value: Use the latest updating DMA Value. The same value as the Latest Value Line.
DMA Last Confirmed Value: Use the last historical closed DMA value.
The default alert option is DMA Latest because most users expect alerts when the price crosses the latest updating DMA value. The Last Confirmed Value alert option uses the DMA value from the latest confirmed historical bar.
When creating an alert you should see a "Caution!" warning saying, "This is due to calculations being based on an indicator or strategy that can get repainted." This warning is intentional because the DMA indicator's Latest Value Line and Label feature is supposed to repaint in order to display the latest value.
