Structure Lite - Automatic Major Trend LinesStructure Lite – Pivot-Based Market Structure Visualization
OVERVIEW
Structure Lite is an open-source charting tool designed to assist traders in visualizing higher-timeframe market structure. The script identifies major swing points using high-period pivot analysis and projects structural support and resistance lines directly on the chart. Its purpose is to highlight persistent market structure while minimizing visual noise.
CORE CONCEPTS & CALCULATIONS
Pivot Identification
The script uses Pine Script’s built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to identify confirmed swing highs and lows. A pivot is only validated after a user-defined number of bars (Major Pivot Lookback) have formed on both sides of the price extreme, ensuring that only structurally significant pivots are selected.
Structural Pairing
Each structural line is created only after two consecutive pivots of the same type are confirmed (high-to-high or low-to-low). The script stores the price and bar index of these pivots and uses them as fixed anchor points.
Line Projection
Once a valid pivot pair is formed, the script draws a line between the two points using line.new() and extends it forward using extend.right. These lines represent projected structural boundaries rather than trade signals.
Object Management
To maintain chart clarity and performance, the script manages all drawn objects through a line array. A FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is applied so that only the three most recent structural lines remain visible. Older lines are automatically deleted as new ones are created.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & ORIGINALITY
While many indicators plot frequent swing points or short-term pivots, Structure Lite focuses on structural persistence. By filtering for higher-period pivots and limiting the number of displayed projections, the script emphasizes dominant market structure rather than short-term fluctuations. This approach is intended to support discretionary analysis, not replace it.
HOW TO USE
Major Pivot Lookback
Increase the value to focus on higher-timeframe structure (e.g., swing or position trading).
Decrease the value to visualize intraday structural levels.
Visual Encoding
Green lines represent projected structural support
Red lines represent projected structural resistance
Visibility Control
A boolean input allows all structure lines to be hidden instantly to restore a clean price chart.
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER
This script is a visualization tool only. It does not generate trade signals, entry or exit points, alerts, or directional forecasts. All plotted levels are derived from historical price action and may change as new pivots form. The script is provided for educational and analytical purposes and should be used in conjunction with other forms of market analysis

CVD Divergence Background By HKOverview This indicator visualizes Delta Divergences (also known as Absorption) directly on your main chart. It highlights candles where the price direction contradicts the underlying net volume flow (CVD). This is a powerful method to spot "traps," limit order absorption, and potential reversals.
How it Works The script calculates the Intrabar Volume Delta based on price action relative to the candle's range. It then compares this Delta with the candle's color (Open vs. Close).
Bearish Divergence (Absorption Top):
Scenario: The candle is GREEN (Price closed higher), but the Volume Delta is NEGATIVE (Net Selling).
Visual: Red Background.
Meaning: Sellers are aggressively absorbing the buying pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to rise despite the volume.
Bullish Divergence (Absorption Bottom):
Scenario: The candle is RED (Price closed lower), but the Volume Delta is POSITIVE (Net Buying).
Visual: Green Background.
Meaning: Buyers are aggressively absorbing the selling pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to fall despite the volume.
Features
Background Highlighting: Instantly spot divergences without checking a separate oscillator window.
Seamless Integration: Works perfectly behind your price candles and other indicators (like Big Trade detectors).
Customizable: You can adjust the colors and transparency to fit your chart theme.
Use Case Use this to identify exhausted moves. If you see a green candle with a red background at a resistance level, it suggests that buyers are running into a wall of sellers, increasing the probability of a reversal.
CVD & Big Trade Detector By HKOverview The CVD & Big Trade Detector By HK offers a unique perspective on Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). This indicator utilizes Floating Bars (Candles) to visualize the cumulative buying and selling pressure. This design allows you to clearly see the net delta of each specific candle relative to the cumulative trend.
Additionally, it integrates the "Big Trade" algorithm to highlight statistically significant volume anomalies (Whale activity) directly on the CVD bars.
How it Works Since standard volume data does not always provide buy/sell splitting, this script estimates intrabar pressure using price action logic:
Buying Pressure: Calculated based on the push from the Low to the Close.
Selling Pressure: Calculated based on the push from the High to the Close.
The indicator then calculates the Delta (Buy Vol - Sell Vol) and accumulates it.
Floating Bars: Instead of plotting from the zero-line, each bar opens at the previous CVD value and closes at the new cumulative value.
Teal/Green Bar: Net buying in the current period (CVD increased).
Maroon/Red Bar: Net selling in the current period (CVD decreased).
Key Features
Floating CVD Structure: Prevents the "barcode effect" common in histogram CVDs. It provides a clean, candle-like view of momentum accumulation.
Whale Detection:
The script calculates the moving average and standard deviation (Sigma) of the buying/selling volume.
Green Dots: Appear when buying volume exceeds the statistical threshold (Signifying a "Big Buy").
Red Dots: Appear when selling volume exceeds the statistical threshold (Signifying a "Big Sell").
Precise Positioning: Whale markers are plotted exactly at the closing value of the CVD bar, showing you exactly where the volume spike impacted the delta.
How to Use
Divergences: Look for situations where Price makes a Higher High, but the CVD Bars fail to make a new high (bearish divergence).
Absorption: If you see a Large Whale Dot on a very small CVD bar (doji-like), it indicates massive volume fighting for direction with little net result—often a sign of absorption or a pending reversal.
Trend Confirmation: Strong floating bars in the direction of the trend, accompanied by Whale Dots, confirm smart money participation.
Settings
Lookback Period: Defines the baseline for the statistical volume calculation (default: 50).
Sensitivity (Sigma): Adjusts how strict the "Whale" detection is (default: 3.0). Higher values = fewer, more significant signals.
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Up/Down bars and Buy/Sell markers.

Time & Price Confirmation (TPC)This one i am in the midst of trying to make better but for now its actually making money.
Core Concept:
Uses SuperTrend on two timeframes: Higher Timeframe (HTF) for trend direction and Lower Timeframe (LTF) for entry timing
Only signals trades when BOTH timeframes align
Key Components:
HTF Time (Higher Timeframe) - Checks if the main trend is strong:
🟢 Healthy = Strong trend, good momentum
🟠 Slowing = Trend weakening but still valid
🔴 Tired = Trend exhausted, avoid trading
LTF Confirm (Lower Timeframe) - Waits for price confirmation via:
SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
Displacement candle (large range breakout)
Strong momentum move
Action Signals:
🚀 ENTER = Both HTF healthy + LTF confirmed (best setup)
⏳ HOLD = HTF still good but waiting for LTF confirmation
⏹️ NO TRADE = HTF tired or conditions not met
HC HighCrew Intelligent RSI Scout EditionHC HighCrew — Intelligent RSI (Scout Edition) is a multi-timeframe RSI analysis tool designed to interpret momentum, pressure, and control, not generate trade signals.
This indicator evaluates RSI behavior across 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute timeframes and organizes that information into a clear on-chart terminal that explains market context, including:
• Which side (buyers or sellers) currently has structural control
• Whether short-term RSI movement represents continuation, pullback, or early counter-move
• When momentum is probing, stabilizing, or escalating
• How RSI pressure is behaving relative to price movement
• Current market mode (scalp-only vs expansion conditions)
Rather than displaying multiple RSI lines without context, this script interprets RSI relationships between timeframes to help traders understand what the market is attempting to do, not just what has already happened.
Key Features
• Multi-Timeframe RSI State Snapshot (1m / 5m / 15m)
• Control Detection (Bull Control, Bear Control, or Neutral)
• Counter-Move Identification
• Early reversal attempts
• Contained pullbacks
• Escalating momentum shifts
• Volatility & Participation Awareness
• ATR expansion/contraction
• Volume context (normal vs elevated)
• Color-Coded RSI Visualization
• Highlights pressure shifts, momentum changes, and regime transitions
• On-Chart Terminal Output
• Designed for fast readability without clutter
What This Script Is — and Is Not
• ✅ A contextual RSI intelligence tool
• ✅ A decision-support system for reading momentum behavior
• ❌ Not a buy/sell signal generator
• ❌ Not a prediction or guarantee of market outcome
This indicator is intended to assist with market awareness, structure recognition, and short-term decision context, especially for active traders and scalpers who rely on RSI behavior and momentum flow.
🔎 Intended Use
Best suited for:
• Intraday traders

In particular, the ability to analyze 5 moving averages simultaneously across various timeframes is akin to viewing a 3D map of the battlefield.
Understanding Core Concepts
This indicator supports 4 types of moving averages. It is crucial to clearly understand the nature of each tool.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): The most basic average value. Since it produces fewer whipsaws (false signals), it is used as a baseline to judge the "long-term trend."
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Places more weight on recent prices. It reacts sensitively to market changes, making it advantageous for identifying "entry points."
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Incorporates "volume" into the price calculation. It acts as a "false signal filter," weeding out price moves that aren't backed by trading volume.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): The benchmark price used by institutional investors for daily trading. It is calculated based on the session, regardless of the period settings. It is considered the "lifeline" of day trading.
Indicator Settings Guide
Open the settings window and tune it to fit your trading style.
MA 01 ~ 05 (Moving Average Settings)
MA Type: Select according to your purpose. (Generally, EMA is recommended for short-term analysis, SMA/VWMA for long-term).
Length: Enter the period you wish to analyze (e.g., 20, 60, 120, 200).
Timeframe: This is the core feature. It allows you to overlay moving averages from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour, Daily) onto the chart you are currently viewing (e.g., 15-minute).
Signal Option (Trading Signals)
Golden Cross (GC) / Death Cross (DC): Captures the moment the short-term line breaks through the long-term line. You can run up to 3 strategies simultaneously.
Ribbon Gradient (Trend Visualization)
Represents the gap between two moving averages with color. As the color deepens and the width expands, it indicates a powerful trend; if the width narrows, it suggests a high probability of a trend reversal.
5 Usage Strategies
The highlight of this indicator is the cross strategy utilizing the "Multi-Timeframe (MTF)" feature. Familiarize yourself with the 5 example strategies below and set up your own strategy based on your expertise.
💡 Tip 1. Do not go against the "Major Trend" (The Authority of the Weekly Candle)
Settings: Set MA5 to .
Interpretation: The Weekly 50 line is the "major trend line" managed by institutions and market makers. If the current price is above this line, maintain only a "Buy (Long)" bias; if below, maintain only a "Sell (Short)" bias. Adhering to this rule alone can help you avoid massive losses.
💡 Tip 2. Highly Reliable "Swing Signal" (Daily Golden Cross)
Settings: In Signal 1, configure the Short MA to and the Long MA to .
Interpretation: A Golden Cross where the 4-Hour 50 EMA breaks above the Daily 50 EMA often signifies a major "trend reversal" rather than a temporary rebound. This provides an ideal entry signal for office workers or swing traders who need high reliability.
💡 Tip 3. 4-Hour Candle as the Standard for "Precision Entry"
Situation: When the Daily trend is rising (Bullish alignment).
Strategy: While watching the 15-minute or 1-hour chart, set the indicator's Signal 2 to the cross of and .
Interpretation: When the Daily chart is in an uptrend, a Golden Cross occurring on the 4-Hour chart marks "the point where a correction (pullback) ends and the rise resumes." This is the entry point with the best risk-to-reward ratio.
💡 Tip 4. Filtering Out "Fake Signals" (The Secret of Volume)
Strategy: When creating a cross signal, try using VWMA (Volume Weighted) for the Long MA, even if you use EMA for the Short MA.
Reason: A Golden Cross caused simply by a rise in price can be a trap. However, if it breaks through the heavy VWMA line accompanied by volume, it is strong evidence that "genuine liquidity" has entered.
💡 Tip 5. Remember the "Hierarchy" (Higher Timeframe Priority Rule)
Principle: If a Golden Cross (Buy Signal) appears on the 4-Hour chart, but the Daily chart is in a Death Cross (Sell Signal) state, do not enter.
Interpretation: A signal from a lower timeframe cannot overcome the power of a higher timeframe. The professional approach is to trade with significant volume only when signals align (Sync) in the order of Weekly > Daily > 4-Hour. Keep this indicator's dashboard feature on and always check the status of higher timeframes.
Signal Generation Principle (Operating Mechanism)
Signals are generated when the set short-term moving average and long-term moving average cross each other.
📈 1. Golden Cross (BUY = Buy Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses upward from below the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent buying pressure has broken through the resistance level accumulated over a long period.
📉 2. Death Cross (SELL = Sell Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses downward from above the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent selling pressure has collapsed the long-term support line.

Investment Caution and Disclaimer
Before using this indicator for actual trading, please strictly read the contents below.
① Auxiliary indicators are a "Compass," not a "Book of Prophecy."
This indicator is merely a tool that mathematically calculates and visualizes past price data. A "magic indicator" that predicts future price fluctuations 100% accurately or guarantees profit does not exist. The signals provided are for reference only and must never be the sole basis for entry/exit decisions.
② The responsibility for all investments lies with "Yourself."
Financial investment (Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Futures, etc.) involves high volatility and is a risky activity that can result in the loss of some or all of the principal. The final responsibility for all trading results (profits and losses) incurred by utilizing this indicator lies entirely with the investor. The distributor and developer accept no legal responsibility for investment results under any circumstances.
③ Past data does not guarantee the future.
Even a Golden Cross that fit perfectly in backtesting or past charts may operate differently in tomorrow's market situation (News, Macroeconomics, Unexpected Variables, etc.). Do not rely solely on technical analysis; you must conduct fundamental analysis and risk management in parallel.
④ Risk management is the top priority.
No matter how promising a signal appears, "all-in trading" (investing all assets in a single trade) is a shortcut to bankruptcy. More important than the indicator itself is adhering to the principles of strict scaling in (split buying) and Stop-Loss.

## ⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTES**
### **Limitations**
- PCR is a **contrarian indicator** - extreme fear (high PCR) often marks bottoms
- Works best in **trending markets** with clear directional bias
- Less effective during **low volatility** periods or tight ranges
- **Open Interest data** not available via Pine Script API (volume-based calculation used)
- Requires **liquid options** - minimum 1000 volume threshold recommended
### **Best Practices**
✅ Use in conjunction with price action and support/resistance
✅ Wait for confirmation (2-3 bars) before entering trades
✅ Check max pain during expiry week for directional bias
✅ Monitor smart money flow for institutional positioning
✅ Combine with VIX or India VIX for volatility context
✅ Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, Daily) for better signals
### **Risk Management**
⚠️ Never trade on PCR signals alone - confirm with technicals
⚠️ Use proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade)
⚠️ Set stop losses based on recent swing highs/lows
⚠️ Be cautious during earnings, events, or extreme news
⚠️ Exit partial position at 1:1 risk-reward, let rest run

---
## 🎓 **LEARNING RESOURCES**
### **Understanding PCR**
- **PCR < 0.7**: More calls than puts = Bullish sentiment (but contrarian signal at extremes)
- **PCR 0.8-1.2**: Balanced market = Neutral sentiment
- **PCR > 1.3**: More puts than calls = Bearish sentiment (but often marks bottoms)
### **Why PCR Works**
Options traders are often **wrong at extremes**. When everyone buys puts (PCR > 1.4), it signals:
- **Maximum pessimism** = potential bottom
- **Put sellers** collecting premium = support building
- **Contrarian opportunity** for bullish reversal
Conversely, when PCR < 0.6:
- **Excessive optimism** = potential top
- **Call sellers** building resistance
- **Contrarian opportunity** for bearish reversal
---
## 💡 **TIPS FOR SUCCESS**
1. **Context Matters**: A PCR of 1.5 during a bear market is normal; during a bull market, it's extreme
2. **Combine Signals**: Best trades happen when 3-4 signal types align
3. **Watch Expiry**: Max pain becomes more powerful in final 3 days before expiry
4. **Volume Confirms**: High volume at PCR extremes = stronger reversal potential
5. **Divergences Are Gold**: When price and PCR disagree, PCR is often right
6. **Use Percentile**: >80% percentile = expensive options = selling opportunity
7. **Z-Score > 2**: Statistical anomaly = mean reversion likely
8. **Smart Money Leads**: Institutional flow often precedes retail by 1-3 days

### **Version History**
- **v1.0** (Dec 2025): Initial release with institutional-grade PCR analytics
MTF rsi/stoch imdI just built this indicator.
It displays a multi-timeframe (MTF) table directly on the chart, showing Stoch RSI K and RSI values per timeframe.
Cell background colors are driven by predefined value ranges, while text color turns green or red depending on whether the value is rising or falling compared to the previous candle on the same timeframe.
The RSI color conditions are based on the levels 36, 46, 56, and 65.
The Timeframe Pack selector works as follows:
Pack 1 (BNC): 3m, 9m, 27m, 1h, 81m, 3h, 9h, 12h, 1D, 3D, 1W, 9D
Pack 2: 1h through 24h
Pack 3: 1D through 24D
Pack 4 (Custom): fully user-defined timeframes via the 24 slots
Only when Pack 4 (Custom) is selected do the custom timeframe slots apply; in Packs 1–3 they are ignored.
All visual behavior (box colors, text colors, transparency, or a single-color override) is configurable under Style, and the entire table can be toggled on or off.
RF True Structure Engine PROD. V1RF True Structure Engine V1 is a fractal–based market structure indicator that identifies the current active swing leg and bias in real time. It automatically tracks Strong/Weak Highs and Lows, marks MSS (Market Structure Shifts) and BOS (Breaks of Structure) using candle-close confirmation, and plots clean right-side structure levels with an optional midline for quick leg context.
It also includes an optional HTF structure overlay and a compact multi-timeframe bias table (up to 5 timeframes) so you can instantly see whether higher/lower timeframes are bullish or bearish.
Built for clarity and consistency — structure first, noise filtered out.
10>20,p>50 DEMARenders daily EMA, 10, 20 and 50 on any timeframe below 1D
30m timeframe works well.
Use trend of 10 > 20 + price > 50 for long and 10 < 20 + price < 50 for shorts or exits.
Nifty Hierarchical Macro GuardOverview
The Nifty Hierarchical Macro Guard is a "Market Compass" indicator specifically designed for Indian equity traders. It locks its logic to the Nifty 50 Index (NSE:NIFTY) and applies a strict hierarchy of trend analysis. The goal is simple: prioritize the long-term trend (Monthly/Weekly) to decide if you should even be in the market, then use the short-term trend (Daily) for precise exit timing.
This script ensures you never ignore a macro "crash" signal while trying to trade minor daily fluctuations.
The Color Hierarchy (Priority Logic)
The indicator uses a "Top-Down" filter. Higher timeframe signals override lower timeframe signals:
Level 1: Monthly (Ultra-Macro) — Deep Maroon
Condition: Nifty 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA on the Monthly chart.
Action: This is the highest priority. The background will turn Deep Maroon, overriding all other colors. This is your "Forget Trading" signal. The long-term structural trend is broken.
Level 2: Weekly (Macro Warning) — Dark Red
Condition: Monthly is Bullish, but Nifty 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA on the Weekly chart.
Action: The background turns Dark Red. This indicates a significant macro correction. You should stay out of fresh positions and protect capital.
Level 3: Daily (Tactical) — Light Red / Light Green
Condition: Both Monthly and Weekly are Bullish (Green).
Action: The background will now react to the Daily 10/20 EMA cross.
Light Green: Nifty is healthy; safe for fresh positions.
Light Red: Tactical exit signal. Nifty is seeing short-term weakness; exit positions quickly.
Key Features
Symbol Locked: No matter what stock you are viewing (Reliance, HDFC, Midcaps), the background only reacts to NSE:NIFTY.
Clean Interface: No messy lines or labels on the price chart. The information is conveyed purely through background color shifts.
Customizable: Change the MA types (EMA/SMA) and lengths (e.g., 10/20 or 20/50) in the settings.
Macro Dashboard: A small, transparent table in the top-right corner displays exactly which timeframe is currently controlling the background color.
How to Use for Nifty Strategy
Stay Out: If the chart is Deep Maroon or Dark Red, do not look for "buying the dip." Wait for the macro health to return.
Take Exits: If the background is Light Green and suddenly turns Light Red, it means the Daily Daily 10/20 cross has happened. Exit your Nifty-sensitive positions immediately.
FVG MTF Consensus OscillatorFVG MTF Consensus Oscillator
A multi-timeframe, multi-component oscillator that combines momentum, deviation, and slope analysis across multiple timeframes using Zeiierman's Chebyshev-filtered trend calculation. This indicator identifies potential turning points with zone-based signal classification and timeframe consensus filtering.
Backed by ML/Deep Learning evaluation on ES Futures data from 2015-2024.
🎯 Concept
Traditional oscillators suffer from two major weaknesses:
Single measurement - relying on one metric makes them susceptible to noise
Single timeframe - missing the bigger picture leads to fighting the trend
The FVG MTF Consensus Oscillator addresses both issues by combining three independent measurements across three timeframes into a weighted consensus signal.
The Three Components
Momentum - How fast is the trend moving?
Deviation - How far has price stretched from the trend?
Slope - What is the short-term directional bias?
The Three Timeframes
TF1 (Chart) - Your current chart timeframe (lowest weight)
TF2 (Medium) - Typically 1H or 4H (medium weight)
TF3 (High) - Typically 4H or Daily (highest weight)
By requiring agreement across multiple components AND multiple timeframes, the oscillator filters out noise while capturing meaningful, high-probability market movements.
🔧 How It Works
The Core: Chebyshev Type 1 Filter
At its heart, this indicator uses a Chebyshev Type 1 low-pass filter (inspired by Zeiierman's FVG Trend) to extract a clean trend line from price action. Unlike simple moving averages, the Chebyshev filter offers:
Sharper cutoff between trend and noise
Minimal lag for a given smoothness level
Controlled overshoot via the ripple parameter
Three Oscillator Components
1. Momentum Component
Momentum = Current Trend Value - Previous Trend Value
Measures the velocity of the trend. High positive values indicate strong upward acceleration, while high negative values show downward acceleration.
2. Deviation Component
Deviation = Close Price - Trend Value
Measures how far price has stretched away from the trend line. Useful for identifying overextended conditions and mean reversion opportunities.
3. Slope Component
Slope = Change in Trend over 3 bars
Captures the short-term directional bias of the trend itself, helping confirm trend changes.
Normalization & Component Consensus
Each component is individually normalized to a -100 to +100 scale using adaptive scaling. The oscillator output is a weighted average of all three components, allowing you to emphasize different aspects based on your trading style.
Multi-Timeframe Weighting
The final oscillator value combines all three timeframes using configurable weights:
Combined = (TF1 × Weight1 + TF2 × Weight2 + TF3 × Weight3) / Total Weight
Default weights (1, 2, 3) ensure higher timeframes have more influence, keeping you aligned with the dominant trend while timing entries on lower timeframes.
📊 Zone System
The oscillator uses a fuzzy zone system to classify market conditions:
ZoneRangeInterpretationSignal ColorNeutral-5 to +5No clear bias, avoid tradingGrayContinuation±5 to ±25Trend pullback, continuation setupsAquaDeep Swing±25 to ±50Extended move, stronger setupsGreenReversalBeyond ±50Extreme extension, reversal potentialOrange
When "Show Zone Background" is enabled, the background shading darkens as the oscillator moves into more extreme zones, providing instant visual feedback.
📈 Signal Interpretation
Turn Signals
The indicator plots triangular markers when the oscillator changes direction:
▲ Triangle Up (bottom): Oscillator turning up from a low
▼ Triangle Down (top): Oscillator turning down from a high
Signal Quality by Zone
Not all signals are equal. The signal color indicates which zone the turn occurred in:
ColorZoneProbabilityBest UseGrayNeutralLowAvoid or use very tight stopsAquaContinuationModerateTrend continuation entriesGreenDeep SwingHigherSwing trade entriesOrangeReversalHighestCounter-trend with caution
Timeframe Consensus Filter
Signals only fire when the required number of timeframes agree on direction. With default settings (TF Consensus = 2), at least 2 of 3 timeframes must be moving in the same direction for a signal to trigger.
This prevents:
Taking longs when higher timeframes are bearish
Taking shorts when higher timeframes are bullish
Whipsaws during timeframe disagreement
Trend Coloring
The combined oscillator line changes color based on trend direction:
Light purple (RGB 240, 174, 252): Majority of timeframes trending up
Dark purple (RGB 84, 19, 95): Majority of timeframes trending down
Info Table
When MTF is enabled, a table in the top-right corner displays:
Current oscillator values for each timeframe (TF1, TF2, TF3)

Color coding: Green = rising, Red = falling

Check the info table - TF2 and TF3 should show green (rising)
Wait for TF1 to pull back, oscillator enters Continuation zone
Enter on Aqua ▲ signal (turn up with TF consensus)
Stop below recent swing low
Target: Previous high or next resistance
Why it works: You're buying a dip in an established uptrend with multi-timeframe confirmation.
Example 2: Deep Swing Entry
Setup: Extended move showing exhaustion
Oscillator reaches Deep Swing zone (±25 to ±50)
At least 2 TFs start showing the same direction
Enter on Green signal indicating momentum exhaustion
Use tighter stop as the move is already extended
Target: Return to Continuation zone or trend line
Why it works: Extended moves tend to mean-revert. The zone system identifies these opportunities.
Example 3: Reversal Setup (Advanced)
Setup: Extreme extension with diverging timeframes
Oscillator reaches Reversal zone (beyond ±50)
Watch for TF1 to turn while TF3 is still extended
Enter on Orange signal - this is counter-trend!
Use smaller position size and wider stops
Target: Return to Deep Swing or Continuation zone
Why it works: Extreme extensions eventually correct. The orange signal marks high-probability reversal points.
Example 4: Avoiding Bad Trades
What to avoid:
Gray signals in Neutral zone - No edge, random noise
Signals against TF3 direction - Fighting the dominant trend
Signals without TF consensus - Timeframe disagreement = choppy market
Multiple signals in quick succession - Let cooldown filter work
🔬 Multi-Timeframe Analysis Tips
Reading the Info Table
The info table shows real-time oscillator values:
| TF1 | TF2 | TF3 | CMB |
| 23.5 | 45.2 | 67.8 | 52.1 |
All green: Strong uptrend across all timeframes
All red: Strong downtrend across all timeframes
Mixed colors: Potential transition or consolidation
Timeframe Alignment States
TF1TF2TF3Interpretation↑↑↑Strong bull - look for long entries↓↓↓Strong bear - look for short entries↑↑↓Pullback in downtrend - caution on longs↓↓↑Pullback in uptrend - caution on shorts↑↓↑Choppy - reduce position size↓↑↓Choppy - reduce position size
The Power of Consensus
With TF Consensus = 2, signals only fire when 2+ timeframes agree. This single filter eliminates most whipsaws and keeps you aligned with the dominant trend.
For more conservative trading, set TF Consensus = 3 (all timeframes must agree).
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict the future. It measures current market conditions and momentum across multiple timeframes.
Always use proper risk management. No indicator is 100% accurate.
Combine with price action. The oscillator works best when confirmed by support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or other confluence factors.
Respect the higher timeframe. When TF3 disagrees, trade smaller or sit out.
Zone signals are probabilistic. Orange (reversal) signals have higher probability but aren't guaranteed reversals.
Adjust settings per instrument. Default settings are optimized for ES Futures but may need tuning for other markets.
🧪 ML/Deep Learning Background
The default parameters and zone thresholds were evaluated using machine learning techniques on ES Futures data spanning 2015-2024. This included:
Optimization of component weights
Zone threshold calibration
Timeframe weight balancing
Signal filter tuning
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, the parameters represent a data-driven starting point rather than arbitrary defaults.

Consolidation Zones Volume Delta | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Consolidation Zones Volume Delta | Flux Charts indicator is designed to identify and visualize consolidation zones on the chart. Rather than only outlining areas of sideways price movement, the indicator analyzes volume activity occurring inside each consolidation zone. This is done by aggregating lower-timeframe volume data into the higher-timeframe consolidation range, allowing users to see how buying and selling activity evolves while price remains in a range.
What is the theory behind the indicator?:
The indicator is built around three core analytical concepts that guide how consolidation zones are detected and evaluated.
1. Consolidation as a structural phase
Periods of consolidation are characterized by reduced directional movement and compressed price ranges. During these phases, price action often alternates within a defined high–low boundary, creating a structure that can be objectively measured and tracked over time.
2. Volume behavior inside consolidation
While price may appear balanced within a consolidation range, volume activity inside that range can vary. The indicator evaluates volume contributions occurring within the vertical boundaries of the consolidation zone by using lower-timeframe data and weighting each candle’s volume based on its overlap with the zone. This produces an internal volume delta profile that reflects how buying and selling volume accumulates throughout the consolidation.
Delta behavior inside a zone may show:
Persistent dominance of buying or selling volume
Alternating shifts between buyers and sellers
Periods of relatively balanced participation
3. Markets consolidate in multiple ways, one detection method is not enough
Markets do not consolidate in a single, uniform way. To account for this, the indicator includes three distinct consolidation detection methods. Each method is calculated objectively, does not repaint, and targets a different type of sideways or low-expansion price behavior:
Candle Compression
ADX Low Trend Strength
Visual Range Boundaries
CONSOLIDATION ZONES VOLUME DELTA FEATURES:
The Consolidation Zones Volume Delta indicator includes 4 main features:
Consolidation Zones
Volume Delta
Standard Deviation Bands
Alerts
CONSOLIDATION ZONES:
🔹What is a Consolidation Zone?
A consolidation zone is a defined price range where market movement becomes compressed and price remains contained within clear upper and lower boundaries for a sustained period of time. During this phase, price does not establish a strong directional trend and instead oscillates within a relatively narrow range.
🔹Consolidation Zone Detection
The indicator automatically detects consolidation zones using three independent, rule-based methods. Each method evaluates a different market condition and can be selected individually depending on how you want consolidation to be defined. Regardless of the method used, all zones are calculated objectively and finalized once confirmed.
◇ Candles (Candle Compression)
The Candles method identifies consolidation by detecting periods of candle compression and reduced range expansion. A candle is considered part of a consolidation sequence when:
The candle body is small relative to its total range
The candle’s high–low range is smaller than the short-term Average True Range (ATR)
ATR is calculated using a 4-period average true range and is used as a volatility reference. If consecutive candles continue to meet these compression conditions, the indicator increments an internal count.
Under the Consolidation Candles section in the settings, you’ll find two controls.
Min. Consolidation Candles setting
This defines how many consecutive compressed candles are required before a consolidation zone is confirmed. Candle compression is determined using candle structure and short-term ATR, ensuring that only periods of reduced range expansion are counted. Once the minimum threshold is reached, the indicator creates a consolidation zone using the highest high and lowest low formed during the compressed sequence.
Mark Consolidation Candles
When enabled, the indicator highlights candles that meet the compression criteria, making it easy to visually identify which candles contributed to the formation of the consolidation zone.
◇ ADX (Low Trend Strength)
The ADX method identifies consolidation based on weak or declining trend strength rather than candle structure. This method uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to determine when directional movement is reduced.
ADX is calculated using directional movement values that are smoothed over time. When ADX remains below a user-defined threshold, price is treated as being in a low-trend market. While this condition persists, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low formed during the low-trend period.
Under the ADX Settings section in the settings, you’ll find the following controls.
ADX Length
Defines the lookback period used to calculate directional movement for ADX.
ADX Smoothing
Controls the smoothing applied to the ADX calculation.
ADX Threshold
Sets the level below which ADX must remain for the market to be considered consolidating.
Consolidation Strength
Defines how many consecutive candles’ ADX must stay below the threshold before a consolidation zone is confirmed. Once this requirement is met, the indicator creates a consolidation zone using the accumulated high and low from the low-trend window.
Mark Candles Below Threshold
When enabled, the indicator highlights candles where ADX remains below the threshold.
◇ Visual Range
The Visual Range method identifies consolidation by detecting clearly defined horizontal price ranges where price remains contained for a sustained period of time. The indicator continuously tracks the rolling highest high and lowest low across recent candles. When price remains inside the same high–low boundaries without breaking above or below the range, an internal counter advances.
Under the Visual Range section in the settings, you’ll find the following control.
Min. Candles in Range
Defines how many consecutive candles must remain fully contained within the same high–low range before a consolidation zone is confirmed. Once this requirement is met, the indicator creates a consolidation zone using the established range boundaries.
🔹Consolidation Zone Settings
◇ Invalidation Method
Users can choose how Consolidation Zones are invalidated, selecting between Close Break or Wick Break.
Close Break: A Consolidation Zone is invalidated when a candle closes above/below the zone.
Wick Break: A Consolidation Zone is invalidated when a candle’s wick goes above/below the zone.
◇ Merge Overlapping Zones
When enabled, overlapping Consolidation Zones are automatically combined into one unified zone.
◇ Show Last
This setting determines how many Consolidation Zones are displayed on your chart. For example, setting this to 5 will display the 5 most recent zones.
VOLUME DELTA:
Delta Volume visualizes how buying and selling volume accumulates inside each consolidation zone. Instead of using the full candle volume, the indicator isolates only the volume that occurs within the vertical boundaries of the zone. This allows you to see whether bullish or bearish volume is dominating while price remains range-bound. The visualization updates in real time while the zone is active and reflects cumulative participation rather than individual candles.
🔹How Volume Delta is Calculated
Delta Volume is calculated using lower-timeframe data and applied to the higher-timeframe consolidation zone.
Each candle’s volume is split into bullish or bearish volume based on candle direction.
Lower-timeframe candles are pulled using the selected delta timeframe.
For each lower-timeframe candle, only the portion of volume that vertically overlaps the consolidation zone is counted.
Volume is weighted by the amount of overlap between the candle’s range and the zone’s range.
Bullish and bearish volume are accumulated over time to form a running, cumulative delta profile for the zone.
🔹Volume Delta Settings
◇ Enable
Turns the Delta Volume visualization on or off. Consolidation zones continue to plot when disabled.
◇ Show Delta %
Displays the percentage breakdown of bullish versus bearish volume inside the consolidation zone. Percentages are derived from cumulative volume totals.
◇ 3D Visual
When enabled, the delta blocks are extended diagonally using a depth offset derived from the instrument’s daily ATR. This creates visible side faces and top faces for the delta blocks, simulating depth without altering any calculations. The 3D effect is purely visual. It does not change how volume is calculated, weighted, or accumulated.
Users can control the intensity of the 3D effect choosing a value between 1 and 5. Increasing this value increases:
The horizontal offset of the delta blocks
The vertical depth projection applied to the volume faces
Higher values produce a more pronounced 3D appearance by pushing the delta visualization further away from the consolidation box. Lower values keep the visualization flatter and closer to the box boundaries. The depth scaling is normalized using ATR, so the effect adapts proportionally to the instrument’s volatility.
◇ Volume Delta Display Style
Controls how bullish and bearish volume are displayed inside the Consolidation Zone:
Horizontal: Volume is split top-to-bottom within the zone
Vertical: Volume is split left-to-right across the zone
◇ Timeframe
Defines the lower timeframe used for Volume Delta calculations. When a timeframe is selected, the indicator pulls lower-timeframe price and volume data and maps it into the higher-timeframe consolidation zone. Each lower-timeframe candle is evaluated individually. Only the portion of its volume that vertically overlaps the consolidation zone is included, and that volume is weighted based on the candle’s overlap with the zone’s price range. If the Timeframe field is left empty, the indicator defaults to using the chart’s current timeframe for delta calculations.
Using a lower timeframe increases the granularity of the delta calculation, allowing volume changes inside the zone to be measured more precisely. Using a higher timeframe produces a smoother, less granular delta profile.
Please Note: Delta rendering is automatically limited to available lower-timeframe data to prevent incomplete or distorted visuals when historical lower-timeframe volume is unavailable due to TradingView data limits.
STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS:
Standard Deviation Bands project measured price distance away from a confirmed consolidation zone using the size of that zone as the reference unit. Rather than calculating volatility from historical price dispersion, the bands are derived directly from the height of the consolidation range itself. Each band represents a fixed multiple of the consolidation zone’s height and is plotted symmetrically above and below the zone.
🔹How the bands are calculated
Once a consolidation zone is finalized, the indicator calculates the zone height as:
Zone Height = Zone High − Zone Low
This value becomes the base measurement for all deviation calculations. For each enabled band:
Upper bands are placed above the consolidation zone’s high
Lower bands are placed below the consolidation zone’s low
The distance of each band from the zone is calculated by multiplying the zone height by the selected band multiplier. These band levels are fixed relative to the consolidation zone and do not recalculate based on future price movement.
🔹Standard Deviation Band Settings
◇ Band 1
Enables the first deviation band above and below the consolidation zone. The Band 1 multiplier defines how far the band is placed from the zone in terms of zone height. For example, a multiplier of 1 plots the band one full zone height above and below the consolidation range.
◇ Band 2
Enables a second deviation band at a greater distance from the consolidation zone. Band 2 uses its own multiplier and is calculated independently of Band 1, allowing multiple expansion levels to be displayed simultaneously.
◇ Fill Bands
When enabled, the area between the consolidation zone and each deviation band is filled with a semi-transparent color. Upper fills apply to bands above the zone, and lower fills apply to bands below the zone. Fills are static and tied directly to the consolidation zone boundaries.
◇ Color Customization
Each deviation band has independent color controls for:
Upper band lines and fills
Lower band lines and fills
This allows users to visually distinguish between bullish and bearish extensions as well as between multiple deviation levels.
ALERTS:
Users can create alerts for the following:
New Consolidation Zone Formed
Consolidation Zone Break
UNIQUENESS:
This indicator combines multiple consolidation detection methods with lower-timeframe volume delta analysis inside each consolidation zone. It visualizes bullish and bearish volume using weighted overlap logic and optional 3D rendering for improved clarity. Users can choose how volume is displayed, apply structure-based deviation bands, and enable alerts for new zones and zone breaks. All features are rule-based, configurable, and designed to work together within a single framework.
Intermarket SSMT Table [Pogiest]General
Intermarket Sequential Smart Money Technique (IMSSMT) is a Quarterly Theory concept that identifies divergences (extreme highs/lows) when comparing different market triads to another market triad in two consecutive quarters.
SSMT involves identifying divergences in a correlated asset triad that occurs consecutively from the previous quarter to the current quarter to predict new phases of price, a shift in market sentiment, and also potential trend reversals. An SSMT divergence occurs when one or two assets makes a new high or low, but the other asset or assets does not, signaling a potential shift in market direction. A Hidden SSMT Divergence occurs when one or two assets’ closing price closes higher or lower than the other one or two assets’ closing price. However, with potential gaps in price, an opening price can also be the extreme when comparing assets for divergences. Hidden SSMT divergence compares the candle bodies while a Standard SSMT divergence compares the highs and lows. Both types of SSMTs are considered to be cracks in correlation and can be used to identify potential new phases of price whether it be a reversal, retracement, consolidation, and continuation.

What Makes This Indicator Unique
The indicator table is designed to be used on any symbol the trader is viewing. For example, the indicator is shown on an NQ chart while selecting three symbols in the Forex triad in settings. The indicator will request the separate data from the symbols selected and display the data within the table. The table does not rely on data on the chart being viewed. Instead of switching charts, the table is used to track other market triads for SSMTs (standard & hidden) while viewing other markets simultaneously.
The indicator has the ability to display Standard SSMTs, Hidden SSMTs, or both simultaneously in real-time, tick by tick in the time period selected in a correlated asset triad within the table. Toggle modes for each type of SSMT will run independently (runs when enabled) and therefore, optimizes performance. The user is able to select three different tickers in settings instead of limiting to pairs. In addition, the indicator has “Invert” toggle options to track both Standard and Hidden SSMTs for assets with negative correlations.
How the Indicator Table Works
The indicator functions to track any divergences from the previous quarter to the current quarter. In addition, the indicator tracks the current status even when there are no divergences (see phase column below).
Timeframe Column:
1. Displays up to two different timeframes to monitor.
Asset Columns:
1. Display up to three different assets to monitor.
2. Cells display “Bull” in green background color or “Bear” in red background color showing the current state of each candle and updates in real-time tick by tick.
Phase Column:
Displays the current status from the previous quarter to the current quarter. The status updates in real-time tick by tick.
1. “F/S” indicates there are no current SSMT divergences between the previous quarter to the current quarter and all assets have not swept the previous quarter, a “failure swing”.
2. “HH” is displayed when all assets have swept the previous quarter’s extreme high. (Higher High)
3. “LL” is displayed when all assets have swept the previous quarter’s extreme low. (Lower Low) See screenshot with drawings below.
4. SSMT indicates there is an SSMT from the previous quarter to the current quarter. Red background is a bearish SSMT (divergence at the highs) or green background is a bullish SSMT (divergence at the lows). If the SSMT becomes invalid (i.e. the last asset sweeps the extreme high/low), then the table will update to display either “HH” or “LL” depending on the extreme it swept. See screenshot with drawings below.
5. “Both” indicates there are SSMT divergences at both the extremes highs and lows. If an SSMT on one side gets deleted, then the cell will automatically update to display the SSMT that is still intact. See screenshot with drawings below.
Invert Toggle Option:
When this setting is turned on, the asset column cells will display the inverted color of the live chart to show assets are in-sync. It will track the inverted swing points for SSMTs, higher highs, lower lows, etc. For example, if EUR and GBP are making lower highs, while DXY (Inverted toggle on), makes a lower low on the actual live chart, it will display “SSMT”.
NOTE:
Scanning function per timeframe to detect SSMTs:
Weekly HTF: Scans 4HR bars
Daily HTF: Scans 1HR bars
6HR/4HR HTF: Scans 15m bars
1HR HTF: Scans 5m bars
5m HTF: Scans 1m bars
The script has fixed lookback periods for bars to ensure the appropriate data is being captured. The higher the timeframe the user selects in settings while viewing on an extremely lower timeframe, the indicator may give inaccurate readings:
Recommended Chart Timeframes:
For best performance and accuracy, view your chart on a timeframe close to or lower than the scan timeframe:
Weekly HTF → View on 1H-4H chart
Daily HTF → View on 1H-4H chart
6HR/4HR HTF → View on 5m-15m chart
90M HTF → View on 3m-15m chart
1H HTF → View on 1m-15m chart
The indicator will attempt to scan further back if needed, but extremely low chart timeframes (e.g., 1m) with high HTF (e.g., Weekly) may still have limitations.
In addition, the indicator bases the SSMT off the previous quarter’s time range to the current quarter’s time range. If there are discrepancies in the time ranges (start to end of higher timeframe period selected), the SSMTs may display differently than what is viewed on the chart. For example, indices open at 18:00 est on a new trading day, so the time ranges matches throughout the day. However, in Forex, EUR and GBP opens at 17:00 est while DXY opens later, so the time ranges may be off (i.e. 6 hour timeframe). For best use, select time periods that matches throughout the day.
Usage
Traders can use both types of SSMT divergences to anticipate potential reversals in points of interest such as higher timeframe swing points, supply/demand zones, higher timeframe imbalances, key levels, etc. This indicator can also be beneficial in identifying cracks in correlation via Hidden SSMT when there are no divergences off the highs and lows. Divergences can come in different forms relating to Intermarket SSMT. For example, if one market triad is all making lower lows while the other market triad is making higher highs, this can be deemed a divergence between the two markets. Another example would be one market triad all makes lower lows while another market triad makes a bullish SSMT. This can potentially signal a bullish move up. SSMT divergences (standard and hidden) can be used as a confirmation tool with other confluences to identify trend direction with respect to points of interest, higher timeframe order-flow, lower timeframe order-flow, etc. In addition, having both a Standard SSMT and Hidden SSMT divergence display could potentially signal a reversal. It is up to the trader to gauge the price action at the time.
Settings
1. Choose up to three different assets to monitor.
Note: If only two are selected, the indicator will only display the two selected and compare the two assets for divergences. If one is selected, a warning sign will be displayed to select at least two assets.
2. Choose up to two different timeframes. Option to deselect timeframes.
3. Enable/disable standard or hidden SSMT.
4. Option to enable alerts. Alerts include the different phases in the table (i.e. SSMT, HH, LL, and Dual SSMT [both standard & hidden) for each timeframe.
5. Toggle option to show/hide the table. Toggle option to show/hide the “Title Row” which is the first row at the top of the table.
6. Adjust the table positioning to be displayed on the chart.
7. Option to change text size in the table cells. This will also increase/decrease the size of the table.

One-Sided Hodrick-Prescott FilterTechnical & Mathematical Architecture
This indicator represents a significant departure from standard Moving Averages or traditional Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter implementations found on Trading View. It utilizes a State-Space Model approach to decompose time-series data into trend and cyclical components, solved recursively via a Kalman Filter (Forward Pass) and a Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) Smoother (Backward Pass). Furthermore, it introduces a proprietary Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) loop to adapt the smoothing parameter (λ) dynamically in response to market regimes.
1.1 The State-Space Formulation
The standard HP filter minimizes a specific loss function involving the sum of squared deviations and the sum of squared second differences. While typically solved via batch matrix inversion, this script reformulates the problem as a Local Linear Trend (LLT) model, a stochastic structural model defined by:
Measurement Equation:
y = μ + ε
(Where ε is normally distributed noise)
State Transition Equations:
μ = μ + β + η
β = β + ζ
Where μ represents the stochastic level (trend) and β represents the stochastic slope (drift). The crucial link to the HP filter is the signal-to-noise ratio. By setting the variance of η to 0 (smooth trend) and defining λ as the ratio of measurement variance to slope variance, the Kalman Filter solution converges exactly to the One-Sided HP Filter.
1.2 The Forward Pass: Kalman Filter
The script executes a recursive estimation loop for real-time (causal) filtering:
Prediction Step: Projects the state mean and error covariance forward based on the transition matrix.
Innovation: Calculates the measurement residual (v = y - predicted y).
Update Step: Computes the Kalman Gain. The posterior state is updated based on how much the prediction missed the actual price.
Stability: The covariance update utilizes the Joseph Form subtraction to ensure the covariance matrix remains positive semi-definite, preventing numerical instability inherent in high-precision floating-point calculations over long durations.
1.3 Adaptive λ via Maximum Likelihood
Standard filters use a static λ (e.g., 1600 for quarterly data), which fails in crypto/FX markets exhibiting changing volatility. This script implements an Adaptive ML Loop.
The Kalman Filter assumes innovations are normally distributed with a specific theoretical variance (S). We compute a running variance ratio test:
Ratio = Actual Innovation Variance / Theoretical Variance
Ratio > 1: The model is "surprised" by volatility. The filter is under-fitting. The script dynamically decreases λ to increase responsiveness (reduce lag).
Ratio < 1: The model is over-fitting noise. The script increases λ to enforce a smoother trend.
This allows the filter to function as a low-lag trend follower during impulses and a robust noise filter during consolidation, automatically.
1.4 The Backward Pass: Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) Smoother
This is the most complex feature of the script. While the Forward Pass provides the optimal estimate based on past data, the Backward Pass computes the optimal estimate based on all data.
The RTS algorithm runs purely on historical arrays stored in memory:
It iterates backward from the last bar to the past. It computes a "Smoother Gain" matrix based on future information. It updates the past estimates to correct them based on what happened afterwards. This results in a Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) estimator. Note: This smoothed line is for analytical hindsight and back testing theoretical limits; it is distinct from the real-time filtered line used for live signaling.
Usage Guide:
This indicator is designed for precision trend following and mean-reversion trading. It separates the market price into a Trend Component (Signal) and a Cycle Component (Noise/Oscillation).
The Two Trend Lines:
The Filtered Trend (Real-Time): This is the filled/shaded line on your chart. It calculates the trend using only past data. It does not repaint. Use this for entering and exiting live trades.
Green Fill: Price is above the trend (Bullish bias).
Red Fill: Price is below the trend (Bearish bias).
The Smoothed Trend (Hindsight): (Optional, enabled via settings). This is the "God mode" line. It uses future data to show you exactly where the trend was.
WARNING: This line repaints. Do not trade the tip of this line. Its purpose is to show you the ideal path for training your eye or optimizing parameters.
Mean Reversion Signals:
The script calculates the "Cycle," which is the percentage deviation of price from the HP Trend.
Bands: The Upper and Lower bands represent the Cycle Threshold.
Long Signal (L): Triggered when the Cycle is Oversold (below lower band) AND begins to turn up, while the Filtered Drift (slope) is positive. This suggests a "dip buy" in an uptrend.
Short Signal (S): Triggered when the Cycle is Overbought (above upper band) AND begins to turn down, while the Filtered Drift is negative. This suggests selling a rally in a downtrend.
Adaptive Lambda Panel:
Enable the "Lambda Panel" to see the engine under the hood.
Rising Lambda (Blue): The market is noisy or consolidating. The filter is becoming "stiffer" to ignore the chop.
Falling Lambda (Orange): The market is trending impulsively. The filter is becoming "looser" to track the price closely and reduce lag.
Strategy: You can use low Lambda values as a confirmation of high-volatility breakout regimes.
Performance Table:
A dashboard in the bottom right corner displays the efficiency of the Kalman Filter:
MSE Filtered vs. Smoothed: Shows the Mean Squared Error of the real-time prediction vs. the hindsight-optimal smooth.
Improvement %: A higher percentage indicates that the RTS Smoother is extracting significantly more noise than the real-time filter (common in choppy markets).
Kalman Gains (K1, K2): These display the current weight the filter assigns to new price data for updating the Level and Slope respectively.
Summary of Settings
Base Lambda: The starting stiffness. Higher = smoother (long-term trend). Lower = responsive (short-term trend).
Adaptation Speed: Recommended between 0.01 and 0.05. Controls how fast λ reacts to volatility shocks.
Smoother Lookback: How far back (in bars) the RTS algorithm re-optimizes the historical line.
Best Practice: Use the Filtered Trend for execution. Use the Smoothed Trend to analyze past price action and determine if your Base Lambda setting is appropriate for the asset's volatility profile.
