Six PillarsGeneral Overview
The "Six Pillars" indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that combines six different technical analysis methods to provide a holistic view of market conditions.
These six pillars are:
Trend
Momentum
Directional Movement (DM)
Stochastic
Fractal
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The indicator calculates the state of each pillar and presents them in an easy-to-read table format. It also compares the current timeframe with a user-defined comparison timeframe to offer a multi-timeframe analysis.
A key feature of this indicator is the Confluence Strength meter. This unique metric quantifies the overall agreement between the six pillars across both timeframes, providing a score out of 100. A higher score indicates stronger agreement among the pillars, suggesting a more reliable trading signal.
I also included a visual cue in the form of candle coloring. When all six pillars agree on a bullish or bearish direction, the candle is colored green or red, respectively. This feature allows traders to quickly identify potential high-probability trade setups.
The Six Pillars indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes, offering a comparison between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe. This multi-timeframe analysis provides traders with a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
Origin and Inspiration
The Six Pillars indicator was inspired by the work of Dr. Barry Burns, author of "Trend Trading for Dummies" and his concept of "5 energies." (Trend, Momentum, Cycle, Support/Resistance, Scale) I was intrigued by Dr. Burns' approach to analyzing market dynamics and decided to put my own twist upon his ideas.
Comparing the Six Pillars to Dr. Burns' 5 energies, you'll notice I kept Trend and Momentum, but I swapped out Cycle, Support/Resistance, and Scale for Directional Movement, Stochastic, Fractal, and On-Balance Volume. These changes give you a more dynamic view of market strength, potential reversals, and volume confirmation all in one package.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The standout feature of the Six Pillars indicator is its Confluence Strength meter. This feature calculates the overall agreement between the six pillars, providing traders with a clear, numerical representation of signal strength.
The strength is calculated by considering the state of each pillar in both the current and comparison timeframes, resulting in a score out of 100.
Here's how it calculates the strength:
It considers the state of each pillar in both the current timeframe and the comparison timeframe.
For each pillar, the absolute value of its state is taken. This means that both strongly bullish (2) and strongly bearish (-2) states contribute equally to the strength.
The absolute values for all six pillars are summed up for both timeframes, resulting in two sums: current_sum and alternate_sum.
These sums are then added together to get a total_sum.
The total_sum is divided by 24 (the maximum possible sum if all pillars were at their strongest states in both timeframes) and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
The result is rounded to the nearest integer and capped at a minimum of 1.
This calculation method ensures that the Confluence Strength meter takes into account not only the current timeframe but also the comparison timeframe, providing a more robust measure of overall market sentiment. The resulting score, ranging from 1 to 100, gives traders a clear and intuitive measure of how strongly the pillars agree, with higher scores indicating stronger potential signals.
This approach to measuring signal strength is unique in that it doesn't just rely on a single aspect of price action or volume. Instead, it takes into account multiple factors, providing a more robust and reliable indication of potential market moves. The higher the Confluence Strength score, the more confident traders can be in the signal.
The Confluence Strength meter helps traders in several ways:
It provides a quick and easy way to gauge the overall market sentiment.
It helps prioritize potential trades by identifying the strongest signals.
It can be used as a filter to avoid weaker setups and focus on high-probability trades.
It offers an additional layer of confirmation for other trading strategies or indicators.
By combining the Six Pillars analysis with the Confluence Strength meter, I've created a powerful tool that not only identifies potential trading opportunities but also quantifies their strength, giving traders a significant edge in their decision-making process.
How the Pillars Work (What Determines Bullish or Bearish)
While developing this indicator, I selected and configured six key components that work together to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. Each pillar is set up to complement the others, creating a synergistic effect that offers traders a more nuanced understanding of price action and volume.
Trend Pillar: Based on two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - a fast EMA (8 period) and a slow EMA (21 period). It determines the trend by comparing these EMAs, with stronger trends indicated when the fast EMA is significantly above or below the slow EMA.
Directional Movement (DM) Pillar: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) with a default period of 14. It measures trend strength, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. It also considers the Positive and Negative Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to determine trend direction.
Momentum Pillar: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with customizable fast (12), slow (26), and signal (9) lengths. It compares the MACD line to the signal line to determine momentum strength and direction.
Stochastic Pillar: Employs the Stochastic oscillator with a default period of 13. It identifies overbought conditions (above 80) and oversold conditions (below 20), with intermediate zones between 60-80 and 20-40.
Fractal Pillar: Uses Williams' Fractal indicator with a default period of 3. It identifies potential reversal points by looking for specific high and low patterns over the given period.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) Pillar: Incorporates On-Balance Volume with three EMAs - short (3), medium (13), and long (21) periods. It assesses volume trends by comparing these EMAs.
Each pillar outputs a state ranging from -2 (strongly bearish) to 2 (strongly bullish), with 0 indicating a neutral state. This standardized output allows for easy comparison and aggregation of signals across all pillars.
Users can customize various parameters for each pillar, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions. The multi-timeframe comparison feature also allows users to compare pillar states between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe, providing additional context for decision-making.
Design
From a design standpoint, I've put considerable effort into making the Six Pillars indicator visually appealing and user-friendly. The clean and minimalistic design is a key feature that sets this indicator apart.
I've implemented a sleek table layout that displays all the essential information in a compact and organized manner. The use of a dark background (#030712) for the table creates a sleek look that's easy on the eyes, especially during extended trading sessions.
The overall design philosophy focuses on presenting complex information in a simple, intuitive format, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
The color scheme is carefully chosen to provide clear visual cues:
White text for headers ensures readability
Green (#22C55E) for bullish signals
Blue (#3B82F6) for neutral states
Red (#EF4444) for bearish signals
This color coding extends to the candle coloring, making it easy to spot when all pillars agree on a bullish or bearish outlook.
I've also incorporated intuitive symbols (↑↑, ↑, →, ↓, ↓↓) to represent the different states of each pillar, allowing for quick interpretation at a glance.
The table layout is thoughtfully organized, with clear sections for the current and comparison timeframes. The Confluence Strength meter is prominently displayed, providing traders with an immediate sense of signal strength.
To enhance usability, I've added tooltips to various elements, offering additional information and explanations when users hover over different parts of the indicator.
How to Use This Indicator
The Six Pillars indicator is a versatile tool that can be used for various trading strategies. Here are some general usage guidelines and specific scenarios:
General Usage Guidelines:
Pay attention to the Confluence Strength meter. Higher values indicate stronger agreement among the pillars and potentially more reliable signals.

OptiRange | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
This indicator is designed to integrate probabilities with liquidity levels, while also providing a mechanical method for identifying market structure by using Fractals by Williams.
----
How does this indicator identify market structure?
This script identifies breaks of market structure by analyzing candle closures above or below swing levels.
As soon as a candle has closed above or below the initial swing on your charts, the script validates that there is at least one swing preceding the break before confirming it as a structural break.
Once a break is occured then it assigns a numeric ID to the break starting from 1 and draws two extremities: one as liquidity and the other as invalidation (LIQ/INV).
----
What do the extremities show us on the charts?
you'll see two clear extremities on your charts:
1. The first extremity represents the structural liquidity level. (LIQ)
2. The other extremity indicates the level that, if price breaks through it, results in a structural shift to the opposite side. (INV)
----
How does it calculate probabilities?
Each break of market structure, denoted as X, is assigned a unique ID, starting from X1 for the first break, X2 for the second, and so on.
The probabilities are calculated based on breaks holding, meaning price closing through the liquidity level, rather than invalidation. This probability is then divided by the total count of similar numeric breaks.
For example, if 75 out of 100 bullish X1s become X2, then the probability of X1 becoming X2 on your charts will be displayed as 80% in the following format: ⬆ 75%
----
What are the Fractal blocks?
Fractal blocks refer to the most extreme swing candle within the latest break. They can serve as significant levels for price rejection and may guide movements toward the next break, often in confluence with probability analysis for added confirmation.
If the price retraces back to a bullish fractal block, we aim to look for buy/long positions. Conversely, if the price retraces back to a bearish fractal block, we aim to look for sell/short positions.
----
What are mitigations?
Mitigations refer to specific price action occurrences identified by the script:
1- When the price reaches the most recent fractal block and confirms a swing candle, the script automatically draws a line from the swing to the fractal block bar and labels it with a checkmark.
1- If the price wicks through the invalidation level and then retraces back to the fractal block while forming a swing candle, the script labels this as a double mitigation on the chart.
This level will serve as the next potential invalidation level if a break occurs in the same direction.
----
What does the bottom table display?
The bottom table presents numeric breaks across multiple timeframes, with the text color indicating the trend direction. Enabling traders to assess the higher timeframes market trend without needing to switch between timeframes manually.
----
How to use the indicator?
1. Add "OptiRange | Fractalyst" to your TradingView chart.
2. Choose the pair you want to analyze or trade.
3. Start with the 12-month timeframe.
4. Use the table bias with the maximal settings to find the lowest timeframe that’s showing you the mitigation (✓)
5. Confirm that the probability of the current liquidity is higher than 50%.
6. Place your limit order at the Fibonacci level of 0.618 of the mitigation candle.
7. Set your stop-loss at the mitigation level.
8. Determine your take profit based on the liquidity of the current timeframe, or if possible, the liquidity of a higher timeframe in the same direction; otherwise, use the liquidity of the current timeframe.
9. Risk adjustment and Trade management based on your personal preferences.

What makes this indicator original?
- This script leverages Fractals, a fundamental concept in many trading methodologies.
- For a break to be considered valid, price must have at least two swings:
a swing high followed by a swing low for bullish breaks and a swing low follow by a swing high for bearish breaks.
- This means that each swing point is confirmed by the formation of two candles on its left and two candles on its right, totaling 5 candles for each swing high and swing low, thus requiring 10 candles overall. (This strict rule ensures a thorough assessment of market structure before confirming a break.)
- The script assigns a unique numerical ID to each break of structure, starting from 1.
This numbering system enables the script to calculate the probability of the most recent break becoming the next break, while also factoring in the trend direction.
- Additionally, this script provides insights into higher timeframes' break IDs in the bottom/top centre table, keeping traders informed about the overall higher timeframe picture.
- By integrating these methodologies, the script introduces a unique and systematic method for identifying market structure, thereby enhancing its originality in guiding trading decisions.

Volatility Filter v2VF v2 is a new iteration of my tool designed for traders who wish to gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics, specifically to distinguish periods of high volatility, which often correspond to strong market trends. By identifying these periods, traders can make more informed decisions, potentially leading to better trading outcomes.
Understanding Market Volatility:
At the heart of this script lies the concept of market volatility, a statistical measure reflecting the degree of variation in trading prices. Volatility is pivotal for traders; it provides insights into the market's emotional state, indicating periods of uncertainty or confidence. High volatility often correlates with strong trends, making it a critical indicator for trend-followers. By identifying when volatility crosses a certain threshold, traders can discern whether the market is likely to be in a trending phase or a more subdued, range-bound state.
How the Script Works:
The core functionality of the script revolves around a signal line that oscillates around a zero threshold. When the signal line is above zero, it indicates increased market volatility, suggesting the presence of a trend. The farther the oscillator deviates from zero, the stronger the implied trend. This mechanism enables traders to visually gauge market conditions and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Controlling the Indicator:
To cater to diverse trading styles and preferences, the script is equipped with several customizable settings:
Filter Threshold: This 'zero line' acts as the baseline for distinguishing between different volatility regimes. Crossing this threshold is a primary signal for changes in market volatility.
Moving Average Type: With over 30 types of moving averages to choose from, traders can select the one that best fits their analysis style. Each type offers a different perspective on price data, allowing for a tailored approach to trend identification.
Colorize Indicator: This feature enhances the visual representation of the indicator, making it easier to interpret. When enabled, the oscillator's color intensity varies with its proximity to the extremes, providing a quick visual cue about trend strength.
Advanced Settings – Length and Multiplier:
The script introduces an innovative approach to time frame analysis through its length and multiplier settings:
Length: This parameter sets the base period for all metrics within the script, similar to traditional indicators.
Multiplier: This unique feature differentiates the script by incorporating three distinct timeframes into the analysis: a lower timeframe, the main (current) timeframe, and a higher timeframe. The multiplier adjusts these timeframes relative to the main one. For instance, with a daily main timeframe and a multiplier of 2, the lower timeframe would be 12 hours, and the higher timeframe would be 2 days. This tri-timeframe approach aims to provide a more comprehensive volatility assessment.
Volatility Filter Indicators Section:
The script utilizes nine different, undisclosed metrics within its volatility filter. Traders have the flexibility to enable or disable these metrics based on their preferences, allowing for a customizable trading experience. Additionally, the script offers alert functionality for when the indicator crosses the threshold, either upwards or downwards, facilitating timely decision-making.
P.S
With better understanding of markets over time, I designed a new iteration of my volatility filter indicator. The second version provides faster, more precise way to analyze markets, but I also wanted to keep my first version untouched in case if some people find it better for their purposes. As I mentioned above, this version is calculated in a very different way from a previous one, so if you never tried it you can do it here

Pulse Profiler [QuantraSystems]Pulse Profiler
Introduction
The Pulse Profiler ( ℙℙ ) is specifically designed to unambiguously indicate weakening momentum after a strong impulse. The upper and lower standard deviation bands also allow the user to assess the strength of an impulse and differentiate it from general noise.
Due to the ℙℙ ’s rapid responsiveness to exhaustion in price movement it is ideally used for the trader to recognize when to start taking profit when combined with other indicators.
The novum is that by dynamically balancing its sensitivity to recent movements the ℙℙ considers the asset’s inherent volatility. By reducing noise without sacrificing signal, and by visualizing it in our typical modern QuantraAI style, the ℙℙ enhances the traders’ ability to distinguish impulses with weakening momentum from strong trending movements.
Legend
Impulse: The ℙℙ showing strength based on momentum and volume.
Dynamic standard deviation bands: Rolling probability based bands based on a rolling normal distribution. Adjustable, recommended are σ = 1.5 to σ = 2.5.
Neutral lines: Dynamic thresholds which get often respected as support or resistance.
Case Study
To properly employ the ℙℙ , the trader should use it to identify out-of-the-ordinary 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓼 which cause a following exhaustion.
The rolling standard deviation bands incorporate the asset’s historical behavior in regards to its inherent volatility on a rolling basis. If the asset shows strong 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓼 that go beyond the rolling standard deviation, the event has been highly improbable. The trader then needs to determine if the price change was caused by critical external factors. If not, it is highly probable that the momentum exhausts and that price movement plateaus to enter a range.
These signals indicate that it is highly probable that closing a position upon these conditions is the correct choice.
If the 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮 reverses and retraces into the opposite direction, while moving more than 1.5σ across just 3 bars on the 4H chart, the signal indicates that a reversal is pushing the price down – in both momentum and volume.
A sharp reversal thus becomes more probable than not.
The ℙℙ can also be calibrated to find possible trend exhaustions on a longer timeframe (1D).
Please always use multiple Quantra indicators to add confirmations to your signals.

Quantra Standard Value Contents:
The Heikin-Ashi (HA) candle visualization smoothes out the signal line to provide more informative insights into momentum and trends. This allows earlier entries and exits by observing the indicator values transformed by the HA.
Various visualization options are available to adjust the indicator to the user’s preference: Aside from HA, a classic line, or a hybrid of both.
A special feature of Quantra’s indicators is that they are probabilistically built - therefore they work well as confluence and can easily be stacked to increase signal accuracy.
To add to Quantra's indicators’ utility we have added the option to change the price bars colors based on different signals:
Choose Mode for Coloring
Trend Following (Indicator above mid line counts as uptrend, below is downtrend)
Extremes (Everything beyond the SD bands is highlighted to signal mean reversion)
Candles (Color of HA candles as barcolor)
Reversions (Only for HA) (Reversion Signals via the triangles if HA candles change trend while beyond the SD bands, high probability entries/exits)
The ℙℙ is also sensitive to divergences for those interested in utilizing this feature.
Through a special combination of price, volume and momentum you get a holistic overview on the impulse strengths of movements.
The two neutral lines in the center act as dynamic, volume and volatility adjusted thresholds. Often the signal line respects them as support and resistance.
The upper and lower standard deviation lines express the rarity of an impulse based on the asset’s inherent volatility.
The indicator needs a long enough timespan to build up its probability estimation, therefore the asset needs sufficient price history.
The indicator requires thorough volume data. If the source of an asset pair does not forward it, try to find another source or exchange for the same pair.
Signal Mode on the 4H chart is a relevant part of this indicator when used in isolation and helps to analyze momentum adjusted by volatility.
Methodology
The ℙℙ combines the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) with a bespoke volume and momentum calculation, with a classical Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on price data.
The ℙℙ itself integrates ALMA for volume and momentum with an EMA calculation on price, creating a unique blend that expresses impulses using their three raw main components.
The indicator calculates dynamic standard deviation bands based on an adjustable lookback period and the adjustable sigma (σ), to signal when the impulse strength is just uncommon or even extraordinary when compared to the usual price movements:
σ = 1.5 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is 13.37% / 2, hence ~ 6.69%
σ = 2.0 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is ~ 2.28%
σ = 2.5 the probability of similar impulse strength occuring is ~ 0.62%
By detecting extremely improbable conditions the indicator can create an inversely highly probable signal to its user.
Neutral bands are calculated based on the ℙℙ alongside a rolling, dynamic multiplier. This effectively provides dynamic thresholds for approximating common volatility.
Heikin Ashi method: The indicator uses a custom function to calculate Heikin Ashi values, useful for smoothing impulse data and identifying trends.
Reversion Signals: Specifically for Heikin Ashi displays, we plot triangles as signals, useful to easily spot potential reversals.
The Signal Mode uses these different thresholds to highlight significant market moves.
Rate of Change Suite [QuantraSystems]Rate of Change Suite
Introduction
The "Rate of Change Suite" (𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮) refines traditional RoC concepts by incorporating additional elements that provide more nuanced views of market trends, potential reversions, and momentum shifts.
Its main benefits are that it allows traders to detect momentum changes and frontrun trend shifts.
The suite is designed to be highly adaptable, catering to various trading styles, timeframes and market conditions. It is comprised of 3 metrics:
The RoC base line plots the rate of change, the Signal Histogram to confirm trends, and the Signal Confirmation Oscillator to inform reversal probabilities. For the early detection of trend shifts, the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 is a comprehensive tool for the toolkit of modern traders.
A core component of the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 is the ability to apply its processing techniques to any other indicator found on TradingView - essentially leveraging the signal power of existing analysis methods. This is achieved by modifying the ‘Source’ input.
Legend
𝓡𝓸𝓒 base line: The primary component of the suite, the RoC Line, offers a direct view of market momentum. An upward trending RoC line informs the potential for a long position, while a downward trend might signal the opportunity for a short position. Both include a secondary confirmation by the color change of the line itself. The Heikin Ashi transformed version of the RoC line provides greater resistance to rapid movements, or outliers.
Signal Histogram: This feature works in tandem with the base RoC Line, providing an additional third confirmation of trends. A rising histogram supports the presence of an upward trend. Conversely, a declining histogram aligns with downward trends.
Signal Confirmation Oscillator: This dotted-line is crucial for detecting peaks or troughs in market momentum: These can precede reversals or shifts in the prevailing trend. Traders can use this signal to anticipate and prepare for potential changes quicker than others.
Case Study
Primarily a tool to follow trends, the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 implies much more – you can trade with a confirmed trend signal entry and a mean reversion signal for the exit:
Here we see two practical cases of the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 on the 1h BTC chart.
In the first scenario, the trader waits for three confirmations from the indicator.
The 𝓡𝓸𝓒 baseline to lead the run and looks for confirmation two and three:
𝓡𝓸𝓒 base line color shifts
and the Signal Histogram follows past the null midline.
The trader has adjusted their risk beforehand and enters the long position.
The 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 shows traders when to take profit:
The Signal Confirmation Oscillator (SCO, dotted line) moves beyond the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 baseline and the Signal Histogram. The trader can take 50% of the profit already.
The trader waits patiently, and if the SCO reverses, the rest of the position is closed.
The same works inversely for the second trade, which successfully frontran the decline shortly after.

Divergence Sensitivity: Quantra’s 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 is finely tuned to detect divergences, a key feature for identifying possible trend reversals.
Trend Following and Reversions: Primarily a tool for trend following, the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 is also adept at spotting potential reversions and slowdowns in momentum.
Range Trading Compatibility: In its Heikin Ashi Candles mode, the suite becomes particularly effective for range trading strategies.
High Customizability: Traders can customize the suite with various visualization options, including classic line representation, HA transformation, and bar coloring. These can be based on Heikin Ashi Candles or Trend Following approaches, providing flexibility to adapt to different trading scenarios.
Methodology
The 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 is built on a foundation of functions that define and calculate the Rate of Change. They employ a variety of moving average types (SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, etc.) which can be selected to optimize the RoC line.
A bespoke function to calculate Heikin-Ashi values is engineered to offer a more consistent view of the trend.
The Signal Histogram is derived by mathematically processing the base RoC signal. The Signal Confirmation Oscillator is based on a modified formula, adjusted to align with the RoC dynamics.
With a range of customization options for its visual presentation, including color schemes and display styles, the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 is designed to cater to both trend following indications as well as finding signals for mean reversion trades. This multifaceted approach enables the 𝓡𝓸𝓒 𝓢𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 to allow the trader to combine signals of both types to de-risk his positions.
Regression Sloped RSI [QuantraSystems]Regression Sloped RSI
Introduction
The Regression Sloped RSI (𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘) enhances the classical RSI by incorporating a form of linear regression analysis, which adjusts the traditional RSI in relation to the calculated slope over a specified lookback period.
Its innovative approach reduces the occurrence of false signals compared to the classical RSI. Furthermore, it is particularly effective in markets characterized by strong trends. This is because it responds faster while retaining a high level of whipsaw resistance. The Heikin-Ashi style processing is critical to this.
It also provides robust reversal signals from dynamic overbought and oversold zones to further enhance mean-reversion trading.
Legend
The coloring of the 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 changes based on trend direction: A bright green when upwards, lilac when downwards. The strength of the trend is expressed in its distance to Null. Its acceleration is found in the Heikin-Ashi (HA) candles.
The 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 in combination with the HA bars can be used to achieve earlier entries, when the former passes across the latter in an obvious divergence.
Case Study
In this example the 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 is used to make a few intra-day trades on the Ethereum 15 minute chart. Each trade was open for approximately 5 hours. On the first trade we enter a long in an early entry. The indicator gives us three confirmations which we should all check for. First we have a positive candle developing, secondly the 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 (line) rises above the Heikin-Ashi candles, thirdly the classical RSI (the saturated surface in the background) rises as well.
The trader should then calculate their position sizing responsibly and enter into a short daytrade. Please always have invalidation rules, for example a) if the initial HA candle closes negative b) you can place your stop loss at 1SD into the opposite direction.
Always use adequate risk management, never risk more than 1% of your portfolio, unless you are a seasoned trader with your own calculated position sizes.
Always forward test your rules, assets, timeframe and settings sufficiently.
It is always recommended to use multiple Quantra indicators to add confirmations to your signals - this is by design.

The 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 is finely tuned to detect divergences.
Primarily utilized for trend following, the 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 also demonstrates effectiveness in identifying reversions, intensity of movements and the navigation of range-bound markets.
Allows for easy identification of slowdowns in momentum and thus negative rate of change.
Methodology
The 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 takes the classical RSI using a specified lookback length and computes the slope of a linear regression line applied to the RSI values. This slope is used to adjust the RSI.
This sloped RSI can be further smoothed using various Moving Averages with customizable lengths.
For a more nuanced view of market trends, the 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 applies a specialized Heikin Ashi method. This transformation modifies the Sloped RSI values in order to weigh and reflect the average price, offering a smoother representation compared to traditional candlestick patterns.
The 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 calculates upper and lower bounds based on a specified standard deviation multiplier and adjustable lookback period, providing a dynamic framework to identify extrema and thus overbought and oversold conditions.
Particularly in the Heikin Ashi mode, the 𝓡𝓢-𝓡𝓢𝓘 can display reversion signals. These are plotted as shapes on the chart, indicating high probability reversal points in the market trend.
Wave Pendulum Trend [QuantraSystems]Wave Pendulum Trend
Introduction
The Wave Pendulum Trend (𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭) extrapolates market trends using physical principles derived from waves and pendulums. This indicator is a bespoke build, and its performance and behavior cannot be compared to existing indicators.
It is designed for trend following but is also effective for identifying mean reversions, momentum strength, and shows range-bound market periods within the dynamic bands.
In order to ascertain a smooth yet rapid trend direction of the market, the 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 combines several factors. A bespoke set of functions captures the momentum of price movements and dynamically weighs it over time. The indicator then extrapolates acceleration from the change in delta of price movements.
Legend
With bar coloring enabled, the price section mirrors current trend conditions. Please keep this feature disabled if you intend to use multiple indicators to avoid confusion.
The 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 presents extensive market insights. The purple and green bands around the oscillator signal the selected standard deviation (default σ = 2), for the trader to calculate how common the trending movements are in relation to the selected asset’s history.
The inner, dynamic thresholds, indicated by the blue “Range-bound market” label in the graphic above, border the area that signals a ranging market if both 𝓐𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 and 𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓾𝓶 signals remain inside. If either line exceeds these thresholds, care is advised as a shift in market behavior is underway.
“Trend strength” in the graphic provides a good estimate for the trending movements strength.
If the signal lines exceed the set standard deviation in non-classic mode, a reversal is very likely.
Case Study
As shown in the above case study we see two profitable swing trades on the 4H chart of Ethereum. Please note the display variant here is set to “Heikin-Ashi”.
We always recommend using a multitude of indicators to attain multiple signals on the likelihood of opening the correct position. However, this standalone scenario serves as an example on how the 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 added two profitable swing trades.
The first short trade was opened after the 𝓐𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 and 𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓾𝓶 reversed after crossing the threshold of standard deviation. This trade offered a late entry only, these two factors were followed late by the third signal in this case – the trend reversal. Such a trade would require additional indicators to signal at the same time, so the trader can get more confirmations. The trade was closed after 6D with an 8% gain on a 1x short position.
The second trade is a long position that enters in the same manner. The trader takes the reversal beyond the select standard deviation as a likely entry. After 7D a triple confirmation was received, as indicated by the triangle, that a reversal or at least a plateau is extremely likely. The trade was closed after 7D with a 17.23% gain on a 1x long position.

Methodology
The methodology behind the Wave Pendulum Trend is inspired by wave and pendulum theories to extrapolate market moves. By calculating the momentum and its acceleration from price data, it provides a nuanced view of the market trend.
Traders should observe the color coding, which reflects the interplay between momentum, acceleration, and set thresholds for acceleration. The Signal Mode is particularly useful for quickly identifying trend, momentum, and acceleration exhaustions.
Additionally, the indicator can help filter out ranges with insufficient momentum acceleration. Traders are encouraged to experiment with this mode and adjust the threshold settings to suit their strategies.
Scalper's Volatility Filter [QuantraSystems]Scalpers Volatility Filter
Introduction
The 𝒮𝒸𝒶𝓁𝓅𝑒𝓇'𝓈 𝒱𝑜𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓎 𝐹𝒾𝓁𝓉𝑒𝓇 (𝒮𝒱𝐹) is a sophisticated technical indicator, designed to increase the profitability of lower timeframe trading.
Due to the inherent decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio when trading on lower timeframes, it is critical to develop analysis methods to inform traders of the optimal market periods to trade - and more importantly, when you shouldn’t trade.
The 𝒮𝒱𝐹 uses a blend of volatility and momentum measurements, to signal the dominant market condition - trending or ranging.
Legend
The 𝒮𝒱𝐹 consists of a signal line that moves above and below a central zero line, serving as the indication of market regime.
When the signal line is positioned above zero, it indicates a period of elevated volatility. These periods are more profitable for trading, as an asset will experience larger price swings, and by design, trend-following indicators will give less false signals.
Conversely, when the signal line moves below zero, a low volatility or mean-reverting market regime dominates.
This distinction is critical for traders in order to align strategies with the prevailing market behaviors - leveraging trends in volatile markets and exercising caution or implementing mean-reversion systems in periods of lower volatility.
Case Study
Here we can see the indicator's unique edge in action.
Out of the four potential long entries seen on the chart - displayed via bar coloring, two would result in losses.
However, with the power of the 𝒮𝒱𝐹 a trader can effectively filter false signals by only entering momentum-trades when the signal line is above zero.
In this small sample of four trades, the 𝒮𝒱𝐹 increased the win rate from 50% to 100%
Methodology
The methodology behind the 𝒮𝒱𝐹 is based upon three components:
By calculating and contrasting two ATR’s, the immediate market momentum relative to the broader, established trend is calculated. The original method for this can be credited to the user @xinolia
A modified and smoothed ADX indicator is calculated to further assess the strength and sustainability of trends.
The ‘Linear Regression Dispersion’ measures price deviations from a fitted regression line, adding further confluence to the signals representation of market conditions.
Together, these components synthesize a robust, balanced view of market conditions, enabling traders to help align strategies with the prevailing market environment, in order to potentially increase expected value and win rates.
Trend Channels (MTF) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Trend Channels (MTF) indicator! Latest trends play an important role for traders and sometimes it can be hard to spot trends in other timeframes. This indicator can plot latest trend channels across different timeframes, so you can spot trends and their channels easier. More info about the process in the "How Does It Work" section.
Features of the new Trend Channels (MTF) indicator :
Plot Trend Channels Across Up To 3 Different Timeframes
Broad Customizability Of Trend Detection
Variety Of Trend Invalidation Options
High Visual Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
While the detection of trend channels is a common concept among traders, trend channels across different timeframes can be as crucial as the ones in the current timeframe. This indicator can find them from up to 3 different timeframes. While the general settings will perform well enough most of the time, the indicator also provides fine-tuning options for trend detection and trend invalidation for more experienced traders.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Trend channels occur when the price of an asset starts making a strong movement in a bullish or a bearish direction. This indicator detects trend channels using the Simple Moving Average (SMA). When the slope of the SMA line exceeds the user-defined size, a trend channel will occur.
To understand how individual settings work, you can check the "⚙️SETTINGS" section.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
SMA Length -> Determines the length used in the SMA function. Higher values mean that an average of a longer timespan will be taken into account when spotting trends.
Slope Length -> Used while finding the slope of the trend channel. Check this example for slope length :
ATR Size -> This setting is taken into calculation while checking if a trend channel is worth plotting. The higher this setting is, the higher the slope of the trend channel must be to get rendered. You can take a look at the chart provided above for a visual explanation.
Channel Expander -> When a trend channel occurs, the top and the bottom of the channel are initally determined by the latest highest highs / lowest lows. This setting expands the channel vertically by X times Average True Range (ATR). Check this example :
Trend Invalidation -> The trend channel gets invalidated when the bar closes / wicks above the top of the channel, or below the bottom of the channel. With this setting, you can switch the behaviour between bar close / bar wick.
Avoid False Invalidation -> This setting makes it harder for trend channels to get invalidated to prevent false invalidations.
Retries : The trend channel will have 5 chances for invalidation. First 4 invalidations will not invalidate the channel. The trend channel will only invalidate once the 5th invalidation occur.
Volume : The bar that invalidates the trend channel must have a volume higher than 1.5x the average bar volume of the current chart. Otherwise the trend channel will not be invalidated.
None : The trend channel will invalidate at the first invalidation.
MUJBOT - Multi-TF RSI Table
The "Multi-TF RSI Table" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to present traders with a quick visual summary of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) across multiple timeframes, all within a single glance. It is crafted for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe analysis into their trading strategy, aiming to enhance decision-making by identifying overall market sentiment and trend direction. Here's a rundown of its features:
User Inputs: The indicator includes customizable inputs for the RSI and Moving Average (MA) lengths, allowing users to tailor the calculations to their specific trading needs. Additionally, there is an option to display or hide the RSI & MA table as well as to position it in various places on the chart for optimal visibility.
Multi-Timeframe RSI & MA Calculations: It fetches RSI and MA values from different timeframes, such as 1 minute (1m), 5 minutes (5m), 15 minutes (15m), 1 hour (1h), 4 hours (4h), and 1 day (1D). This multi-timeframe approach provides a thorough perspective of the momentum and trend across different market phases.
Trend and Sentiment Analysis: For each timeframe, the script determines whether the average RSI is above or below the MA, categorizing the trend as "Rising", "Falling", or "Neutral". Moreover, it infers market sentiment as "Bullish" or "Bearish", based on the relationship between the RSI and its MA.
Dynamic Color-Coding: The indicator uses color-coding to convey information quickly. It highlights the trend and sentiment cells in the table with green for "Bullish" and red for "Bearish" conditions. It also shades the timeframe cells based on the RSI value, with varying intensities of green for "Oversold" conditions and red for "Overbought" conditions, providing an immediate visual cue of extreme market conditions.
Customization and Adaptability: The script is designed with customization in mind, enabling users to adjust the RSI and MA lengths according to their trading strategy. Its adaptable interface, which offers the option to display or hide the RSI & MA table, ensures that the tool fits into different trading setups without cluttering the chart.
Ease of Use: By consolidating critical information into a simple table, the "Multi-TF RSI Table" indicator saves time and simplifies the analysis process for traders. It eliminates the need to switch between multiple charts or timeframes, thus streamlining the trading workflow.
In essence, the "Multi-TF RSI Table" is a powerful indicator for Pine Script users on TradingView, offering a multi-dimensional view of market dynamics. It is ideal for both novice and experienced traders who seek to enhance their technical analysis with an at-a-glance summary of RSI trends and market sentiment across various timeframes.
Multi MAs mit LabelA MA (Moving Average) is useful to identify a trend of an assets. The TradingView builtin indicator "Exponential Moving Average" is useful, but limited in some aspects:
Bound to the active timeframe (e.g. h1)
One MA per indicator instance. Makes it confusing when using multiple
In reality to want to have multiple MAs with different types (EMA, SMA), length and timeframes on your chart to identify trading opportunities. As an example you can use the daily EMA12 and EMA21 to identify the trend and EMA200 on the h4 to enter a trade. That's what this script is used for.
The provided script is an extension to the indicator powered by chipmonk (link to profile below). The original script let you add up to 8 EMAs that can be bound to any timeframe and length. The timeframe and length is displayed on the chart next to EMA.
Unfortunately you can only add EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) and no SMAs (Simple Moving Averages). That's why the script was extended. You can now choose the type (EMA or SMA) for up to 8 MAs.

Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI [QuantraSystems]Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI
Introduction
The Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI (ɴɴᴛ ʀsɪ) stands out as a formidable tool for traders who specialize in lower timeframe trading.
It is an innovative enhancement of the traditional RSI readings with simple neural network smoothing techniques.
This unique blend results in fairly accurate signals, tailored for swift market movements. The ɴɴᴛ ʀsɪ is particularly resistant to the usual market noise found in lower timeframes, ensuring a clearer view of short-term trends.
Furthermore, its diverse range of visualization options adds versatility, making it a valuable tool for traders seeking to capitalize on short-duration market dynamics.
Legend
In the Image you can see the BTCUSD 1D Chart with the ɴɴᴛ ʀsɪ in Trend Following Mode to display the current trend. This is visualized with the barcoloring.
Its Overbought and Oversold zones start at 50% and end at 100% of the selected Standard Deviation (default σ = 2), which can indicate extremely rare situations which can lead to either a softening momentum in the trend or even a mean reversion situation.
Here you can also see the original Indicator line and the Heikin Ashi transformed Indicator bars - more on that now.
Notes
Quantra Standard Value Contents:
To draw out all the information from the indicator calculation we have added a Heikin-Ashi (HA) Candle Visualization.
This HA transformation smoothens out the indicator values and gives a more informative look into Momentum and Trend of the Indicator itself.
This allows early entries and exits by observing the HA transformed Indicator values.
To diversify, different visualization options are available, either a classic line, HA transformed or Hybrid, which contains both of the previous.
To make Quantra's Indicators as useful and versatile as possible we have created options
to change the barcoloring and thus the derived signal from the indicator based on different modes.
Option to choose different Modes:
Trend Following (Indicator above mid line counts as uptrend, below is downtrend)
Extremities (Everything going beyond the Deviation Bands in a Mean Reversion manner is highlighted)
Candles (Color of HA candles as barcolor)
Reversion (HA ONLY) (Reversion Signals via the triangles if HA candles change state outside of the Deviation Bands)
- Reversion Signals are indicated by the triangles in the Heikin-Ashi or Hybrid visualization when the HA Candles revert
from downwards to upwards or the other way around OUTSIDE of the SD Bands.
Depending on the Indicator they signal OB/OS areas and can either work as high probability entries and exits for Mean Reversion trades or
indicate Momentum slow downs and potential ranges.
Please use another indicator to confirm this.
Case Study
To effectively utilize the NNT-RSI, traders should know their style and familiarize themselves with the available options.
As stated above, you have multiple modes available that you can combine as you need and see fit.
In the given example mostly only the mode was used in an isolated fashion.
Trend Following:
Purely relied on State Change - Midline crossover
Could be combined with Momentum or Reversion analysis for better entries/exits.
Extremities:
Ideal entry/exit is in the accordingly colored OS/OB Area, the Reversion signaled the latest possible entry/exit.
HA Candles:
Specifically applicable for strong trends. Powerful and fast tool.
Can whip if used as sole condition.
Reversions:
Shows the single entry and exit bars which have a positive expected value outcome.
Can also be used as confirmation or as last signal.
Please note that we always advise to find more confluence by additional indicators.
Traders are encouraged to test and determine the most suitable settings for their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
In the showcased trades the default settings were used.
Methodology
The Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI uses a simple neural network logic to process RSI values, smoothing them for more accurate trend analysis.
This is achieved through a linear combination of RSI values over a specified input length, weighted evenly to produce a neural network output.
// Simple neural network logic (linear combination with weighted aggregation)
var float inputs = array.new_float(nnLength, na)
for i = 0 to nnLength - 1
array.set(inputs, i, rsi1 )
nnOutput = 0.0
for i = 0 to nnLength - 1
nnOutput := nnOutput + array.get(inputs, i) * (1 / nnLength)
nnOutput
This output is then compared against a standard or dynamic mean line to generate trend following signals.
Mean = ta.sma(nnOutput, sdLook)
cross = useMean? 50 : Mean
The indicator also incorporates Heikin Ashi candlestick calculations to provide additional insights into market dynamics, such as trend strength and potential reversals.
// Calculate Heikin Ashi representation
ha = ha(
na(nnOutput ) ? nnOutput : nnOutput ,
math.max(nnOutput, nnOutput ),
math.min(nnOutput, nnOutput ),
nnOutput)
Standard deviation bands are used to create dynamic overbought and oversold zones, further enhancing the tool's analytical capabilities.
// Calculate Dynamic OB/OS Zones
stdv_bands(_src, _length, _mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma(_src, _length)
float dev = _mult * ta.stdev(_src, _length)
= stdv_bands(nnOutput, sdLook,sdMult/2)
= stdv_bands(nnOutput, sdLook, sdMult)
The Standard Deviation bands take defined parameters from the user, in this case sigma of ideally between 2 to 3,
to help the indicator detect extremely improbable conditions and thus take an inversely probable signal from it to forward to the user.
The parameter settings and also the visualizations allow for ample customizations by the trader.

Triple Confirmation Kernel Regression Overlay [QuantraSystems]Kernel Regression Oscillator - Overlay
Introduction
The Kernel Regression Oscillator (ᏦᏒᎧ) represents an advanced tool for traders looking to capitalize on market trends.
This Indicator is valuable in identifying and confirming trend directions, as well as probabilistic and dynamic oversold and overbought zones.
It achieves this through a unique composite approach using three distinct Kernel Regressions combined in an Oscillator.
The additional Chart Overlay Indicator adds confidence to the signal.
Which is this Indicator.
This methodology helps the trader to significantly reduce false signals and offers a more reliable indication of market movements than more widely used indicators can.
Legend
The upper section is the Overlay. It features the Signal Wave to display the current trend.
Its Overbought and Oversold zones start at 50% and end at 100% of the selected Standard Deviation (default σ = 3), which can indicate extremely rare situations which can lead to either a softening momentum in the trend or even a mean reversion situation.
The lower one is the Base Chart.
The Indicator is linked here
It features the Kernel Regression Oscillator to display a composite of three distinct regressions, also displaying current trend.
Its Overbought and Oversold zones start at 50% and end at 100% of the selected Standard Deviation (default σ = 2), which can indicate extremely rare situations.
Case Study
To effectively utilize the ᏦᏒᎧ, traders should use both the additional Overlay and the Base
Chart at the same time. Then focus on capturing the confluence in signals, for example:
If the 𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓦𝓪𝓿𝓮 on the Overlay and the ᏦᏒᎧ on the Base Chart both reside near the extreme of an Oversold zone the probability is higher than normal that momentum in trend may soften or the token may even experience a reversion soon.
If a bar is characterized by an Oversold Shading in both the Overlay and the Base Chart, then the probability is very high to experience a reversion soon.
In this case the trader may want to look for appropriate entries into a long position, as displayed here.
If a bar is characterized by an Overbought Shading in either Overlay or Base Chart, then the probability is high for momentum weakening or a mean reversion.
In this case the trade may have taken profit and closed his long position, as displayed here.
Please note that we always advise to find more confluence by additional indicators.

Notes
The Kernel Regression Oscillator on the Base Chart is also sensitive to divergences if that is something you are keen on using.
For maximum confluence, it is recommended to use the indicator both as a chart overlay and in its Base Chart.
Please pay attention to shaded areas with Standard Deviation settings of 2 or 3 at their outer borders, and consider action only with high confidence when both parts of the indicator align on the same signal.
This tool shows its best performance on timeframes lower than 4 hours.
Traders are encouraged to test and determine the most suitable settings for their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
The trend following functionality is indicated through the "𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓦𝓪𝓿𝓮" Line, with optional "Up" and "Down" arrows to denote trend directions only (toggle “Show Trend Signals”).
Methodology
The Kernel Regression Oscillator takes three distinct kernel regression functions,
used at similar weight, in order to calculate a balanced and smooth composite of the regressions. Part of it are:
The Epanechnikov Kernel Regression: Known for its efficiency in smoothing data by assigning less weight to data points further away from the target point than closer data points, effectively reducing variance.
The Wave Kernel Regression: Similarly assigning weight to the data points based on distance, it captures repetitive and thus wave-like patterns within the data to smoothen out and reduce the effect of underlying cyclical trends.
The Logistic Kernel Regression: This uses the logistic function in order to assign weights by probability distribution on the distance between data points and target points. It thus avoids both bias and variance to a certain level.
kernel(source, bandwidth, kernel_type) =>
switch kernel_type
"Epanechnikov" => math.abs(source) <= 1 ? 0.75 * (1 - math.pow(source, 2)) : 0.0
"Logistic" => 1/math.exp(source + 2 + math.exp(-source))
"Wave" => math.abs(source) <= 1 ? (1 - math.abs(source)) * math.cos(math.pi * source) : 0.
kernelRegression(src, bandwidth, kernel_type) =>
sumWeightedY = 0.
sumKernels = 0.
for i = 0 to bandwidth - 1
base = i*i/math.pow(bandwidth, 2)
kernel = kernel(base, 1, kernel_type)
sumWeightedY += kernel * src
sumKernels += kernel
(src - sumWeightedY/sumKernels)/src
// Triple Confirmations
Ep = kernelRegression(source, bandwidth, 'Epanechnikov' )
Lo = kernelRegression(source, bandwidth, 'Logistic' )
Wa = kernelRegression(source, bandwidth, 'Wave' )
By combining these regressions in an unbiased average, we follow our principle of achieving confluence for a signal or a decision, by stacking several edges to increase the probability that we are correct.
// Average
AV = math.avg(Ep, Lo, Wa)
The Standard Deviation bands take defined parameters from the user, in this case sigma of ideally between 2 to 3,
to help the indicator detect extremely improbable conditions and thus take an inversely probable signal from it to forward to the user.
The parameter settings and also the visualizations allow for ample customizations by the trader. The indicator comes with default and recommended settings.

Mean Reversion Watchlist [Z score]Hi Traders !
What is the Z score:
The Z score measures a values variability factor from the mean, this value is denoted by z and is interpreted as the number of standard deviations from the mean.
The Z score is often applied to the normal distribution to “standardize” the values; this makes comparison of normally distributed random variables with different units possible.
This popular reversal based indicator makes an assumption that the sample distribution (in this case the sample of price values) is normal, this allows for the interpretation that values with an extremely high or low percentile or “Z” value will likely be reversal zones.
This is because in the population data (the true distribution) which is known, anomaly values are very rare, therefore if price were to take a z score factor of 3 this would mean that price lies 3 standard deviations from the mean in the positive direction and is in the ≈99% percentile of all values. We would take this as a sign of a negative reversal as it is very unlikely to observe a consecutive equal to or more extreme than this percentile or Z value.
The z score normalization equation is given by
In Pine Script the Z score can be computed very easily using the below code.
// Z score custom function
Zscore(source, lookback) =>
sma = ta.sma(source, lookback)
stdev = ta.stdev(source, lookback, true)
zscore = (source - sma) / stdev
zscore
The Indicator:
This indicator plots the Z score for up to 20 different assets ( Note the maximum is 40 however the utility of 40 plots in one indicator is not much, there is a diminishing marginal return of the number of plots ).
Z score threshold levels can also be specified, the interpretation is the same as stated above.
The timeframe can also be fixed, by toggling the “Time frame lock” user input under the “TIME FRAME LOCK” user input group ( Note this indicator does not repain t).
