MACD Enhanced [DCAUT]█ MACD Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The MACD Enhanced represents a significant improvement over traditional MACD implementations. While Gerald Appel's original MACD from the 1970s was limited to exponential moving averages (EMA), this enhanced version expands algorithmic options by supporting 21 different moving average calculations for both the main MACD line and signal line independently.
This improvement addresses an important limitation of traditional MACD: the inability to adapt the indicator's mathematical foundation to different market conditions. By allowing traders to select from algorithms ranging from simple moving averages (SMA) for stability to advanced adaptive filters like Kalman Filter for noise reduction, this implementation changes MACD from a fixed-algorithm tool into a flexible instrument that can be adjusted for specific market environments and trading strategies.
The enhanced histogram visualization system uses a four-color gradient that helps communicate momentum strength and direction more clearly than traditional single-color histograms.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The core calculation maintains the proven MACD formula: Fast MA(source, fastLength) - Slow MA(source, slowLength), but extends it with algorithmic flexibility. The signal line applies the selected smoothing algorithm to the MACD line over the specified signal period, while the histogram represents the difference between MACD and signal lines.
Available Algorithms:
The implementation supports a comprehensive spectrum of technical analysis algorithms:
Basic Averages: SMA (arithmetic mean), EMA (exponential weighting), RMA (Wilder's smoothing), WMA (linear weighting)
Advanced Averages: HMA (Hull's low-lag), VWMA (volume-weighted), ALMA (Arnaud Legoux adaptive)
Mathematical Filters: LSMA (least squares regression), DEMA (double exponential), TEMA (triple exponential), ZLEMA (zero-lag exponential)
Adaptive Systems: T3 (Tillson T3), FRAMA (fractal adaptive), KAMA (Kaufman adaptive), MCGINLEY_DYNAMIC (reactive to volatility)
Signal Processing: ULTIMATE_SMOOTHER (low-pass filter), LAGUERRE_FILTER (four-pole IIR), SUPER_SMOOTHER (two-pole Butterworth), KALMAN_FILTER (state-space estimation)
Specialized: TMA (triangular moving average), LAGUERRE_BINOMIAL_FILTER (binomial smoothing)
Each algorithm responds differently to price action, allowing traders to match the indicator's behavior to market characteristics: trending markets benefit from responsive algorithms like EMA or HMA, while ranging markets require stable algorithms like SMA or RMA.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Histogram Interpretation:
Positive Values: Indicate bullish momentum when MACD line exceeds signal line, suggesting upward price pressure and potential buying opportunities
Negative Values: Reflect bearish momentum when MACD line falls below signal line, indicating downward pressure and potential selling opportunities
Zero Line Crosses: MACD crossing above zero suggests transition to bullish bias, while crossing below indicates bearish bias shift
Momentum Changes: Rising histogram (regardless of positive/negative) signals accelerating momentum in the current direction, while declining histogram warns of momentum deceleration
Advanced Signal Recognition:
Divergences: Price making new highs/lows while MACD fails to confirm often precedes trend reversals
Convergence Patterns: MACD line approaching signal line suggests impending crossover and potential trade setup
Histogram Peaks: Extreme histogram values often mark momentum exhaustion points and potential reversal zones
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Comprehensive Trend Confirmation Strategies:
Primary Trend Validation Protocol:
Identify primary trend direction using higher timeframe (4H or Daily) MACD position relative to zero line
Confirm trend strength by analyzing histogram progression: consistent expansion indicates strong momentum, contraction suggests weakening
Use secondary confirmation from MACD line angle: steep angles (>45°) indicate strong trends, shallow angles suggest consolidation
Validate with price structure: trending markets show consistent higher highs/higher lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lower lows (downtrend)
Entry Timing Techniques:
Pullback Entries in Uptrends: Wait for MACD histogram to decline toward zero line without crossing, then enter on histogram expansion with MACD line still above zero
Breakout Confirmations: Use MACD line crossing above zero as confirmation of upward breakouts from consolidation patterns
Continuation Signals: Look for MACD line re-acceleration (steepening angle) after brief consolidation periods as trend continuation signals
Advanced Divergence Trading Systems:
Regular Divergence Recognition:
Bullish Regular Divergence: Price creates lower lows while MACD line forms higher lows. This pattern is traditionally considered a potential upward reversal signal, but should be combined with other confirmation signals
Bearish Regular Divergence: Price makes higher highs while MACD shows lower highs. This pattern is traditionally considered a potential downward reversal signal, but trading decisions should incorporate proper risk management
Hidden Divergence Strategies:
Bullish Hidden Divergence: Price shows higher lows while MACD displays lower lows, indicating trend continuation potential. Use for adding to existing long positions during pullbacks
Bearish Hidden Divergence: Price creates lower highs while MACD forms higher highs, suggesting downtrend continuation. Optimal for adding to short positions during bear market rallies
Multi-Timeframe Coordination Framework:
Three-Timeframe Analysis Structure:
Primary Timeframe (Daily): Determine overall market bias and major trend direction. Only trade in alignment with daily MACD direction
Secondary Timeframe (4H): Identify intermediate trend changes and major entry opportunities. Use for position sizing decisions
Execution Timeframe (1H): Precise entry and exit timing. Look for MACD line crossovers that align with higher timeframe bias
Timeframe Synchronization Rules:
Daily MACD above zero + 4H MACD rising = Strong uptrend context for long positions
Daily MACD below zero + 4H MACD declining = Strong downtrend context for short positions
Conflicting signals between timeframes = Wait for alignment or use smaller position sizes
1H MACD signals only valid when aligned with both higher timeframes
Algorithm Considerations by Market Type:
Trending Markets: Responsive algorithms like EMA, HMA may be considered, but effectiveness should be tested for specific market conditions
Volatile Markets: Noise-reducing algorithms like KALMAN_FILTER, SUPER_SMOOTHER may help reduce false signals, though results vary by market
Range-Bound Markets: Stability-focused algorithms like SMA, RMA may provide smoother signals, but individual testing is required
Short Timeframes: Low-lag algorithms like ZLEMA, T3 theoretically respond faster but may also increase noise
Important Note: All algorithm choices and parameter settings should be thoroughly backtested and validated based on specific trading strategies, market conditions, and individual risk tolerance. Different market environments and trading styles may require different configuration approaches.
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Comprehensive Source Selection Strategy:
Price Source Analysis and Optimization:
Close Price (Default): Most commonly used, reflects final market sentiment of each period. Best for end-of-day analysis, swing trading, daily/weekly timeframes. Advantages: widely accepted standard, good for backtesting comparisons. Disadvantages: ignores intraday price action, may miss important highs/lows
HL2 (High+Low)/2: Midpoint of the trading range, reduces impact of opening gaps and closing spikes. Best for volatile markets, gap-prone assets, forex markets. Calculation impact: smoother MACD signals, reduced noise from price spikes. Optimal when asset shows frequent gaps, high volatility during specific sessions
HLC3 (High+Low+Close)/3: Weighted average emphasizing the close while including range information. Best for balanced analysis, most asset classes, medium-term trading. Mathematical effect: 33% weight to high/low, 33% to close, provides compromise between close and HL2. Use when standard close is too noisy but HL2 is too smooth
OHLC4 (Open+High+Low+Close)/4: True average of all price points, most comprehensive view. Best for complete price representation, algorithmic trading, statistical analysis. Considerations: includes opening sentiment, smoothest of all options but potentially less responsive. Optimal for markets with significant opening moves, comprehensive trend analysis
Parameter Configuration Principles:
Important Note: Different moving average algorithms have distinct mathematical characteristics and response patterns. The same parameter settings may produce vastly different results when using different algorithms. When switching algorithms, parameter settings should be re-evaluated and tested for appropriateness.
Length Parameter Considerations:
Fast Length (Default 12): Shorter periods provide faster response but may increase noise and false signals, longer periods offer more stable signals but slower response, different algorithms respond differently to the same parameters and may require adjustment
Slow Length (Default 26): Should maintain a reasonable proportional relationship with fast length, different timeframes may require different parameter configurations, algorithm characteristics influence optimal length settings
Signal Length (Default 9): Shorter lengths produce more frequent crossovers but may increase false signals, longer lengths provide better signal confirmation but slower response, should be adjusted based on trading style and chosen algorithm characteristics
Comprehensive Algorithm Selection Framework:
MACD Line Algorithm Decision Matrix:
EMA (Standard Choice): Mathematical properties: exponential weighting, recent price emphasis. Best for general use, traditional MACD behavior, backtesting compatibility. Performance characteristics: good balance of speed and smoothness, widely understood behavior
SMA (Stability Focus): Equal weighting of all periods, maximum smoothness. Best for ranging markets, noise reduction, conservative trading. Trade-offs: slower signal generation, reduced sensitivity to recent price changes
HMA (Speed Optimized): Hull Moving Average, designed for reduced lag. Best for trending markets, quick reversals, active trading. Technical advantage: square root period weighting, faster trend detection. Caution: can be more sensitive to noise
KAMA (Adaptive): Kaufman Adaptive MA, adjusts smoothing based on market efficiency. Best for varying market conditions, algorithmic trading. Mechanism: fast smoothing in trends, slow smoothing in sideways markets. Complexity: requires understanding of efficiency ratio
Signal Line Algorithm Optimization Strategies:
Matching Strategy: Use same algorithm for both MACD and signal lines. Benefits: consistent mathematical properties, predictable behavior. Best when backtesting historical strategies, maintaining traditional MACD characteristics
Contrast Strategy: Use different algorithms for optimization. Common combinations: MACD=EMA, Signal=SMA for smoother crossovers, MACD=HMA, Signal=RMA for balanced speed/stability, Advanced: MACD=KAMA, Signal=T3 for adaptive behavior with smooth signals
Market Regime Adaptation: Trending markets: both fast algorithms (EMA/HMA), Volatile markets: MACD=KALMAN_FILTER, Signal=SUPER_SMOOTHER, Range-bound: both slow algorithms (SMA/RMA)
Parameter Sensitivity Considerations:
Impact of Parameter Changes:
Length Parameter Sensitivity: Small parameter adjustments can significantly affect signal timing, while larger adjustments may fundamentally change indicator behavior characteristics
Algorithm Sensitivity: Different algorithms produce different signal characteristics. Thoroughly test the impact on your trading strategy before switching algorithms
Combined Effects: Changing multiple parameters simultaneously can create unexpected effects. Recommendation: adjust parameters one at a time and thoroughly test each change

USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. Like all technical indicators, it has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Algorithm performance varies with market conditions, and past characteristics do not guarantee future results. Always combine with proper risk management and thorough strategy testing.
First Passage Time - Distribution AnalysisThe First Passage Time (FPT) Distribution Analysis indicator is a sophisticated probabilistic tool that answers one of the most critical questions in trading: "How long will it take for price to reach my target, and what are the odds of getting there first?"
Unlike traditional technical indicators that focus on what might happen, this indicator tells you when it's likely to happen.
Mathematical Foundation: First Passage Time Theory
What is First Passage Time?
First Passage Time (FPT) is a concept in stochastic processes that measures the time it takes for a random process to reach a specific threshold for the first time. Originally developed in physics and mathematics, FPT has applications in:
Quantitative Finance: Option pricing, risk management, and algorithmic trading
Neuroscience: Modeling neural firing patterns
Biology: Population dynamics and disease spread
Engineering: Reliability analysis and failure prediction
The Mathematics Behind It
This indicator uses Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM), the same stochastic model used in the Black-Scholes option pricing formula:
dS = μS dt + σS dW
Where:
S = Asset price
μ = Drift (trend component)
σ = Volatility (uncertainty component)
dW = Wiener process (random walk)
Through Monte Carlo simulation, the indicator runs 1,000+ price path simulations to statistically determine:
When each threshold (+X% or -X%) is likely to be hit
Which threshold is hit first (directional bias)
How often each scenario occurs (probability distribution)
🎯 How This Indicator Works
Core Algorithm Workflow:
Calculate Historical Statistics
Measures recent price volatility (standard deviation of log returns)
Calculates drift (average directional movement)
Annualizes these metrics for meaningful comparison
Run Monte Carlo Simulations
Generates 1,000+ random price paths based on historical behavior
Tracks when each path hits the upside (+X%) or downside (-X%) threshold
Records which threshold was hit first in each simulation
Aggregate Statistical Results
Calculates percentile distributions (10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th)
Computes "first hit" probabilities (upside vs downside)
Determines average and median time-to-target
Visual Representation
Displays thresholds as horizontal lines
Shows gradient risk zones (purple-to-blue)
Provides comprehensive statistics table
📈 Use Cases
1. Options Trading
Selling Options: Determine if your strike price is likely to be hit before expiration
Buying Options: Estimate probability of reaching profit targets within your time window
Time Decay Management: Compare expected time-to-target vs theta decay
Example: You're considering selling a 30-day call option 5% out of the money. The indicator shows there's a 72% chance price hits +5% within 12 days. This tells you the trade has high assignment risk.
2. Swing Trading
Entry Timing: Wait for higher probability setups when directional bias is strong
Target Setting: Use median time-to-target to set realistic profit expectations
Stop Loss Placement: Understand probability of hitting your stop before target
Example: The indicator shows 85% upside probability with median time of 3.2 days. You can confidently enter long positions with appropriate position sizing.
3. Risk Management
Position Sizing: Larger positions when probability heavily favors one direction
Portfolio Allocation: Reduce exposure when probabilities are near 50/50 (high uncertainty)
Hedge Timing: Know when to add protective positions based on downside probability
Example: Indicator shows 55% upside vs 45% downside—nearly neutral. This signals high uncertainty, suggesting reduced position size or wait for better setup.
4. Market Regime Detection
Trending Markets: High directional bias (70%+ one direction)
Range-bound Markets: Balanced probabilities (45-55% both directions)
Volatility Regimes: Compare actual vs theoretical minimum time
Example: Consistent 90%+ bullish bias across multiple timeframes confirms strong uptrend—stay long and avoid counter-trend trades.
First Hit Rate (Most Important!)
Shows which threshold is likely to be hit FIRST:
Upside %: Probability of hitting upside target before downside
Downside %: Probability of hitting downside target before upside
These always sum to 100%
⚠️ Warning: If you see "Low Hit Rate" warning, increase this parameter!
Advanced Parameters
Drift Mode
Allows you to explore different scenarios:
Historical: Uses actual recent trend (default—most realistic)
Zero (Neutral): Assumes no trend, only volatility (symmetric probabilities)
50% Reduced: Dampens trend effect (conservative scenario)
Use Case: Switch to "Zero (Neutral)" to see what happens in a pure volatility environment, useful for range-bound markets.
Distribution Type
Percentile: Shows 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90% levels (recommended for most users)
Sigma: Shows standard deviation levels (1σ, 2σ)—useful for statistical analysis
⚠️ Important Limitations & Best Practices
Limitations
Assumes GBM: Real markets have fat tails, jumps, and regime changes not captured by GBM
Historical Parameters: Uses recent volatility/drift—may not predict regime shifts
No Fundamental Events: Cannot predict earnings, news, or macro shocks
Computational: Runs only on last bar—doesn't give historical signals
Remember: Probabilities are not certainties. Use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan with proper risk management.

Cumulative Returns by Session [BackQuant]Cumulative Returns by Session
What this is
This tool breaks the trading day into three user-defined sessions and tracks how much each session contributes to return, volatility, and volume. It then aggregates results over a rolling window so you can see which session has been pulling its weight, how streaky each session has been, and how sessions relate to one another through a compact correlation heatmap.
We’ve also given the functionality for the user to use a simplified table, just by switching off all settings they are not interested in.
How it works
1) Session segmentation
You define APAC, EU, and US sessions with explicit hours and time zones. The script detects when each session starts and ends on every intraday bar and records its open, intraday high and low, close, and summed volume.
2) Per-session math
At each session end the script computes:
Return — either Percent: (Close−Open)÷Open×100(Close − Open) ÷ Open × 100(Close−Open)÷Open×100 or Points: (Close−Open)(Close − Open)(Close−Open), based on your selection.
Volatility — either Range: (High−Low)÷Open×100(High − Low) ÷ Open × 100(High−Low)÷Open×100 or ATR scaled by price: ATR÷Open×100ATR ÷ Open × 100ATR÷Open×100.
Volume — total volume transacted during that session.
3) Storage and lookback
Each day’s three session stats are stored as a row. You choose how many recent sessions to keep in memory. The script then:
Builds cumulative returns for APAC, EU, US across the lookback.
Computes averages, win rates, and a Sharpe-like ratio avgreturn÷avgvolatilityavg return ÷ avg volatilityavgreturn÷avgvolatility per session.
Tracks streaks of positive or negative sessions to show momentum.
Tracks drawdowns on cumulative returns to show worst runs from peak.
Computes rolling means over a short window for short-term drift.
4) Correlation heatmap
Using the stored arrays of session returns, the script calculates Pearson correlations between APAC–EU, APAC–US, and EU–US, and colors the matrix by strength and sign so you can spot coupling or decoupling at a glance.
What it plots
Three lines: cumulative return for APAC, EU, US over the chosen lookback.
Zero reference line for orientation.
A statistics table with cumulative %, average %, positive session rate, and optional columns for volatility, average volume, max drawdown, current streak, return-to-vol ratio, and rolling average.
A small correlation heatmap table showing APAC, EU, US cross-session correlations.
How to use it
Pick the asset — leave Custom Instrument empty to use the chart symbol, or point to another symbol for cross-asset studies.
Set your sessions and time zones — defaults approximate APAC, EU, and US hours, but you can align them to exchange times or your workflow.
Choose calculation modes — Percent vs Points for return, Range vs ATR for volatility. Points are convenient for futures and fixed-tick assets, Percent is comparable across symbols.
Decide the lookback — more sessions smooths lines and stats; fewer sessions makes the tool more reactive.
Toggle analytics — add volatility, volume, drawdown, streaks, Sharpe-like ratio, rolling averages, and the correlation table as needed.
Why session attribution helps
Different sessions are driven by different flows. Asia often sets the overnight tone, Europe adds liquidity and direction changes, and the US session can dominate range expansion. Separating contributions by session helps you:
Identify which session has been the main driver of net trend.
Measure whether volatility or volume is concentrated in a specific window.
See if one session’s gains are consistently given back in another.
Adapt tactics: fade during a mean-reverting session, press during a trending session.
Reading the tables
Cumulative % — sum of session returns over the lookback. The sign and slope tell you who is carrying the move.
Avg Return % and Positive Sessions % — direction and hit rate. A low average but high hit rate implies many small moves; the reverse implies occasional big swings.
Avg Volatility % — typical intrabars range for that session. Compare with Avg Return to judge efficiency.
Return/Vol Ratio — return per unit of volatility. Higher is better for stability.
Max Drawdown % — worst cumulative give-back within the lookback. A quick way to spot riskiness by session.
Current Streak — consecutive up or down sessions. Useful for mean-reversion or regime awareness.
Rolling Avg % — short-window drift indicator to catch recent turnarounds.
Correlation matrix — green clusters indicate sessions tending to move together; red indicates offsetting behavior.
Settings overview
Basic
Number of Sessions — how many recent days to include.
Custom Instrument — analyze another ticker while staying on your current chart.
Session Configuration and Times
Enable or hide APAC, EU, US rows.
Set hours per session and the specific time zone for each.
Calculation Methods
Return Calculation — Percent or Points.
Volatility Calculation — Range or ATR; ATR Length when applicable.
Advanced Analytics
Correlation, Drawdown, Momentum, Sharpe-like ratio, Rolling Statistics, Rolling Period.
Display Options and Colors
Show Statistics Table and its position.
Toggle columns for Volatility and Volume.
Pick individual colors for each session line and row accents.
Common applications
Session bias mapping — find which window tends to trend in your market and plan exposure accordingly.
Strategy scheduling — allocate attention or risk to the session with the best return-to-vol ratio.
News and macro awareness — see if correlation rises around central bank cycles or major data releases.
Cross-asset monitoring — set the Custom Instrument to a driver (index future, DXY, yields) to see if your symbol reacts in a particular session.
Notes
This indicator works on intraday charts, since sessions are defined within a day. If you change session clocks or time zones, give the script a few bars to accumulate fresh rows. Percent vs Points and Range vs ATR choices affect comparability across assets, so be consistent when comparing symbols.
Session context is one of the simplest ways to explain a messy tape. By separating the day into three windows and scoring each one on return, volatility, and consistency, this tool shows not just where price ended up but when and how it got there. Use the cumulative lines to spot the steady driver, read the table to judge quality and risk, and glance at the heatmap to learn whether the sessions are amplifying or canceling one another. Adjust the hours to your market and let the data tell you which session deserves your focus.
Machine Learning Gaussian Mixture Model | AlphaNattMachine Learning Gaussian Mixture Model | AlphaNatt
A revolutionary oscillator that uses Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) with unsupervised machine learning to identify market regimes and automatically adapt momentum calculations - bringing statistical pattern recognition techniques to trading.

Multi-TF Trend Table (Configurable)1) What this tool does (in one minute)
A compact, multi‑timeframe dashboard that stacks eight timeframes and tells you:
Trend (fast MA vs slow MA)
Where price sits relative to those MAs
How far price is from the fast MA in ATR terms
MA slope (rising, falling, flat)
Stochastic %K (with overbought/oversold heat)
MACD momentum (up or down)
A single score (0%–100%) per timeframe
Alignment tick when trend, structure, slope and momentum all agree
Use it to:
Frame bias top‑down (M→W→D→…→15m)
Time entries on your execution timeframe when the higher‑TF stack is aligned
Avoid counter‑trend traps when the table is mixed
2) Table anatomy (each column explained)
The table renders 9 columns × 8 rows (one row per timeframe label you define).
TF — The label you chose for that row (e.g., Month, Week, 4H). Cosmetic; helps you read the stack.
Trend — Arrow from fast MA vs slow MA: ↑ if fastMA > slowMA (up‑trend), ↓ otherwise (down‑trend). Cell is green for up, red for down.
Price Pos — One‑character structure cue:
🔼 if price is above both fast and slow MAs (bullish structure)
🔽 if price is below both (bearish structure)
– otherwise (between MAs / mixed)
MA Dist — Distance of price from the fast MA measured in ATR multiples:
XS < S < M < L < XL according to your thresholds (see §3.3). Useful for judging stretch/mean‑reversion risk and stop sizing.
MA Slope — The fast MA one‑bar slope:
↑ if fastMA - fastMA > 0
↓ if < 0
→ if = 0
Stoch %K — Rounded %K value (default 14‑1‑3). Background highlights when it aligns with the trend:
Green heat when trend up and %K ≤ oversold
Red heat when trend down and %K ≥ overbought Tooltip shows K and D values precisely.
Trend % — Composite score (0–100%), the dashboard’s confidence for that timeframe:
+20 if trendUp (fast>slow)
+20 if fast MA slope > 0
+20 if MACD up (signal definition in §2.8)
+20 if price above fast MA
+20 if price above slow MA
Background colours:
≥80 lime (strong alignment)
≥60 green (good)
≥40 orange (mixed)
<40 grey (weak/contrary)
MACD — 🟢 if EMA(12)−EMA(26) > its EMA(9), else 🔴. It’s a simple “momentum up/down” proxy.
Align — ✔ when everything is in gear for that trend direction:
For up: trendUp and price above both MAs and slope>0 and MACD up
For down: trendDown and price below both MAs and slope<0 and MACD down Tooltip spells this out.
3) Settings & how to tune them
3.1 Timeframes (TF1–TF8)
Inputs: TF1..TF8 hold the resolution strings used by request.security().
Defaults: M, W, D, 720, 480, 240, 60, 15 with display labels Month, Week, Day, 12H, 8H, 4H, 1H, 15m.
Tips
Keep a top‑down funnel (e.g., Month→Week→Day→H4→H1→M15) so you can cascade bias into entries.
If you scalp, consider D, 240, 120, 60, 30, 15, 5, 1.
Crypto weekends: consider 2D in place of W to reflect continuous trading.
3.2 Moving Average (MA) group
Type: EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, HMA. Changes both fast & slow MA computations everywhere.
Fast Length: default 20. Shorten for snappier trend/slope & tighter “price above fast” signals.
Slow Length: default 200. Controls the structural trend and part of the score.
When to change
Swing FX/equities: EMA 20/200 is a solid baseline.
Mean‑reversion style: consider SMA 20/100 so trend flips slower.
Crypto/indices momentum: HMA 21 / EMA 200 will read slope more responsively.
3.3 ATR / Distance group
ATR Length: default 14; longer makes distance less jumpy.
XS/S/M/L thresholds: define the labels in column MA Dist. They are compared to |close − fastMA| / ATR.
Defaults: XS 0.25×, S 0.75×, M 1.5×, L 2.5×; anything ≥L is XL.
Usage
Entries late in a move often occur at L/XL; consider waiting for a pullback unless you are trading breakouts.
For stops, an initial SL around 0.75–1.5 ATR from fast MA often sits behind nearby noise; use your plan.
3.4 Stochastic group
%K Length / Smoothing / %D Smoothing: defaults 14 / 1 / 3.
Overbought / Oversold: defaults 70 / 30 (adjust to 80/20 for trendier assets).
Heat logic (column Stoch %K): highlights when a pullback aligns with the dominant trend (oversold in an uptrend, overbought in a downtrend).
3.5 View
Full Screen Table Mode: centers and enlarges the table (position.middle_center). Great for clean screenshots or multi‑monitor setups.
4) Signal logic (how each datapoint is computed)
Per‑TF data (via a single request.security()):
fastMA, slowMA → based on your MA Type and lengths
%K, %D → Stoch(High,Low,Close,kLen) smoothed by kSmooth, then %D smoothed by dSmooth
close, ATR(atrLen) → for structure and distance
MACD up → (EMA12−EMA26) > EMA9(EMA12−EMA26)
fastMA_prev → yesterday/previous‑bar fast MA for slope
TrendUp → fastMA > slowMA
Price Position → compares close to both MAs
MA Distance Label → thresholds on abs(close − fastMA)/ATR
Slope → fastMA − fastMA
Score (0–100) → sum of the five 20‑point checks listed in §2.7
Align tick → conjunction of trend, price vs both MAs, slope and MACD (see §2.9)
Important behaviour
HTF values are sampled at the execution chart’s bar close using Pine v6 defaults (no lookahead). So the daily row updates only when a daily bar actually closes.
5) How to trade with it (playbooks)
The table is a framework. Entries/exits still follow your plan (e.g., S/D zones, price action, risk rules). Use the table to know when to be aggressive vs patient.
Playbook A — Trend continuation (pullback entry)
Look for Align ✔ on your anchor TFs (e.g., Week+Day both ≥80 and green, Trend ↑, MACD 🟢).
On your execution TF (e.g., H1/H4), wait for Stoch heat with the trend (oversold in uptrend or overbought in downtrend), and MA Dist not at XL.
Enter on your trigger (break of pullback high/low, engulfing, retest of fast MA, or S/D first touch per your plan).
Risk: consider ATR‑based SL beyond structure; size so 0.25–0.5% account risk fits your rules.
Trail or scale at M/L distances or when score deteriorates (<60).
Playbook B — Breakout with confirmation
Mixed stack turns into broad green: Trend % jumps to ≥80 on Day and H4; MACD flips 🟢.
Price Pos shows 🔼 across H4/H1 (above both MAs). Slope arrows ↑.
Enter on the first clean base‑break with volume/impulse; avoid if MA Dist already XL.
Playbook C — Mean‑reversion fade (advanced)
Use only when higher TFs are not aligned and the row you trade shows XL distance against the higher‑TF context. Take quick targets back to fast MA. Lower win‑rate, faster management.
Playbook D — Top‑down filter for Supply/Demand strategy
Trade first retests only in the direction where anchor TFs (Week/Day) have Align ✔ and Trend % ≥60. Skip counter‑trend zones when the stack is red/green against you.
6) Reading examples
Strong bullish stack
Week: ↑, 🔼, S/M, slope ↑, %K=32 (green heat), Trend 100%, MACD 🟢, Align ✔
Day: ↑, 🔼, XS/S, slope ↑, %K=45, Trend 80%, MACD 🟢, Align ✔
Action: Look for H4/H1 pullback into demand or fast MA; buy continuation.
Late‑stage thrust
H1: ↑, 🔼, XL, slope ↑, %K=88
Day/H4: only 60–80%
Action: Likely overextended on H1; wait for mean reversion or multi‑TF alignment before chasing.
Bearish transition
Day flips from 60%→40%, Trend ↓, MACD turns 🔴, Price Pos “–” (between MAs)
Action: Stand aside for longs; watch for lower‑high + Align ✔ on H4/H1 to join shorts.
7) Practical tips & pitfalls
HTF closure: Don’t assume a daily row changed mid‑day; it won’t settle until the daily bar closes. For intraday anticipation, watch H4/H1 rows.
MA Type consistency: Changing MA Type changes slope/structure everywhere. If you compare screenshots, keep the same type.
ATR thresholds: Calibrate per asset class. FX may suit defaults; indices/crypto might need wider S/M/L.
Score ≠ signal: 100% does not mean “must buy now.” It means the environment is favourable. Still execute your trigger.
Mixed stacks: When rows disagree, reduce size or skip. The tool is telling you the market lacks consensus.
8) Customisation ideas
Timeframe presets: Save layouts (e.g., Swing, Intraday, Scalper) as indicator templates in TradingView.
Alternative momentum: Replace the MACD condition with RSI(>50/<50) if desired (would require code edit).
Alerts: You can add alert conditions for (a) Align ✔ changes, (b) Trend % crossing 60/80, (c) Stoch heat events. (Not shipped in this script, but easy to add.)
9) FAQ
Q: Why do I sometimes see a dash in Price Pos? A: Price is between fast and slow MAs. Structure is mixed; seek clarity before acting.
Q: Does it repaint? A: No, higher‑TF values update on the close of their own bars (standard request.security behaviour without lookahead). Intra‑bar they can fluctuate; decisions should be made at your bar close per your plan.
Q: Which columns matter most? A: For trend‑following: Trend, Price Pos, Slope, MACD, then Stoch heat for entries. The Score summarises, and Align enforces discipline.
Q: How do I integrate with ATR‑based risk? A: Use the MA Dist label to avoid chasing at extremes and to size stops in ATR terms (e.g., SL behind structure at ~1–1.5 ATR).

INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.

MTF Dashboard 9 Timeframes + Signals# MTF Dashboard Pro - Multi-Timeframe Confluence Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive dashboard that simultaneously analyzes market conditions across 9 different timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) using a proprietary confluence scoring methodology. Unlike simple multi-timeframe displays that show individual indicators separately, this script combines trend analysis, momentum, volatility signals, and volume analysis into unified confluence scores for each timeframe.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Most traders manually check multiple timeframes and struggle to quickly assess overall market bias when different timeframes show conflicting signals. Existing MTF scripts typically display individual indicators without synthesizing them into actionable intelligence.
**The Solution:** This script implements a mathematical confluence algorithm that:
- Weights each indicator's signal strength (trend direction, RSI momentum, MACD volatility, volume analysis)
- Calculates normalized scores across all active timeframes
- Determines overall market bias with statistical confidence levels
- Provides instant visual feedback through color-coded symbols and star ratings
**Unique Features:**
1. **Confluence Scoring Algorithm**: Mathematically combines multiple indicator signals into a single confidence rating per timeframe
2. **Market Bias Engine**: Automatically calculates overall directional bias with percentage strength across all selected timeframes
3. **Dynamic Display System**: Real-time updates with customizable layouts, color schemes, and selective timeframe activation
4. **Statistical Analysis**: Provides bullish/bearish vote counts and overall confluence percentages
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Calculation Methodology:
**1. Trend Analysis (EMA-based):**
- Fast EMA (default: 9) vs Slow EMA (default: 21) crossover analysis
- Returns values: +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), 0 (neutral)
**2. Momentum Analysis (RSI-based):**
- RSI levels: >70 (strong bullish +2), >50 (bullish +1), <30 (strong bearish -2), <50 (bearish -1)
- Provides overbought/oversold context for trend confirmation
**3. Volatility Analysis (MACD-based):**
- MACD line vs Signal line positioning
- Histogram strength comparison with previous bar
- Combined score considering both direction and momentum strength
**4. Volume Analysis:**
- Current volume vs 20-period moving average
- Thresholds: >150% MA (strong +2), >100% MA (bullish +1), <50% MA (weak -2)
**5. Confluence Calculation:**
```
Confluence Score = (Trend + RSI + MACD + Volume) / 4.0
```
**6. Market Bias Determination:**
- Counts bullish vs bearish signals across all active timeframes
- Calculates bias strength percentage: |Bullish Count - Bearish Count| / Total Active TFs * 100
- Determines overall market direction: BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL
### Multi-Timeframe Implementation:
Uses `request.security()` calls to fetch data from each timeframe, ensuring all calculations are performed on the respective timeframe's data rather than current chart timeframe, providing accurate multi-timeframe analysis.

Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1# Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1 - Complete Description
Overview
The Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1 is a sophisticated low timeframe scalping strategy specifically optimized for MSTR (MicroStrategy) trading. This strategy employs a comprehensive point-based scoring system that combines optimized technical indicators, price action analysis, and reversal pattern recognition to generate precise trading signals on lower timeframes.
Performance Highlight:
In backtesting on MSTR 5-minute charts, this strategy has demonstrated over 200% profit performance, showcasing its effectiveness in capturing rapid price movements and volatility patterns unique to MicroStrategy's trading behavior.
The strategy's parameters have been fine-tuned for MSTR's unique volatility characteristics, though they can be optimized for other high-volatility instruments as well.
## Key Innovation & Originality
This strategy introduces a unique **dual scoring system** approach:
- **Entry Scoring**: Identifies swing bottoms using 13+ different technical criteria
- **Exit Scoring**: Identifies swing tops using inverse criteria for optimal exit timing
Unlike traditional strategies that rely on simple indicator crossovers, this system quantifies market conditions through a weighted scoring mechanism, providing objective, data-driven entry and exit decisions.
## Technical Foundation
### Optimized Indicator Parameters
The strategy utilizes extensively backtested parameters specifically optimized for MSTR's volatility patterns:
**MACD Configuration (3,10,3)**:
- Fast EMA: 3 periods (vs standard 12)
- Slow EMA: 10 periods (vs standard 26)
- Signal Line: 3 periods (vs standard 9)
- **Rationale**: These faster parameters provide earlier signal detection while maintaining reliability, particularly effective for MSTR's rapid price movements and high-frequency volatility
**RSI Configuration (21-period)**:
- Length: 21 periods (vs standard 14)
- Oversold: 30 level
- Extreme Oversold: 25 level
- **Rationale**: The 21-period RSI reduces false signals while still capturing oversold conditions effectively in MSTR's volatile environment
**Parameter Adaptability**: While optimized for MSTR, these parameters can be adjusted for other high-volatility instruments. Faster-moving stocks may benefit from even shorter MACD periods, while less volatile assets might require longer periods for optimal performance.
### Scoring System Methodology
**Entry Score Components (Minimum 13 points required)**:
1. **RSI Signals** (max 5 points):
- RSI < 30: +2 points
- RSI < 25: +2 points
- RSI turning up: +1 point
2. **MACD Signals** (max 8 points):
- MACD below zero: +1 point
- MACD turning up: +2 points
- MACD histogram improving: +2 points
- MACD bullish divergence: +3 points
3. **Price Action** (max 4 points):
- Long lower wick (>50%): +2 points
- Small body (<30%): +1 point
- Bullish close: +1 point
4. **Pattern Recognition** (max 8 points):
- RSI bullish divergence: +4 points
- Quick recovery pattern: +2 points
- Reversal confirmation: +4 points
**Exit Score Components (Minimum 13 points required)**:
Uses inverse criteria to identify swing tops with similar weighting system.
## Risk Management Features

Multi Asset Comparative📊 Multi Asset Comparative – Compare Baskets of Cryptos Visually
This indicator allows you to compare the performance of two groups of cryptocurrencies (or any assets) over time, using a clean and intuitive chart.
Instead of looking at each asset separately, this tool gives you a global view by showing how one group performs relative to another — all displayed in the form of candlesticks.
🧠 What This Tool Is For
Markets constantly shift, and capital rotates between sectors or tokens. This script helps you visually track those shifts by answering a key question:
"Is this group of assets getting stronger or weaker compared to another group?"
For example:
Compare altcoins vs Bitcoin
Track the DeFi sector vs Ethereum
Analyze your custom portfolio vs the market
Spot moments when money flows from majors to smaller caps, or vice versa
🧩 How It Works (Simplified)
You select two groups of assets:
Group 1 (up to 20 assets) — the one you want to analyze
Group 2 (up to 5 assets) — your comparison baseline
The indicator then creates a single line of candles that represents the performance of Group 1 compared to Group 2. If the candles go up, it means Group 1 is gaining strength over Group 2. If the candles go down, it's losing ground.
This lets you see market dynamics in one glance, instead of switching charts or running calculations manually.
🚀 Why It's Unique
Unlike many indicators that just show data from one asset, this one provides a bird's-eye view of multiple assets at once — condensed into a simple visual ratio.
It’s:
Customizable (you choose the assets)
Visual and intuitive (no need to interpret tables or formulas)
Actionable (helps with trend confirmation, macro views, and market rotation)
Whether you're a swing trader, a macro analyst, or building your own strategy, this tool can help you spot opportunities hidden in plain sight.
✅ How to Use It
Choose your two groups of assets (e.g., altcoins vs BTC/ETH)
Watch the direction of the candles:
Uptrend = Group 1 gaining strength over Group 2
Downtrend = Group 1 weakening
Use it to confirm market shifts, anticipate rotations, or analyze sector strength
Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter
===============================================================================
INDICATOR NAME: "Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter"
ALTERNATIVE NAME: "Triple-Filter Moving Average Crossover System"
SHORT NAME: "AMAC-RSI"
CATEGORY: Trend Following / Momentum
VERSION: 1.0
===============================================================================
ACADEMIC DESCRIPTION
===============================================================================
## ABSTRACT
The Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter (AMAC-RSI) is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator that combines classical moving average crossover methodology with momentum-based filtering to enhance signal reliability and reduce false positives. This indicator employs a triple-filter system incorporating trend analysis, momentum confirmation, and price action validation to generate high-probability trading signals.
## THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
### Moving Average Crossover Theory
The foundation of this indicator rests on the well-established moving average crossover principle, first documented by Granville (1963) and later refined by Appel (1979). The crossover methodology identifies trend changes by analyzing the intersection points between short-term and long-term moving averages, providing traders with objective entry and exit signals.
### Mathematical Framework
The indicator utilizes the following mathematical constructs:
**Primary Signal Generation:**
- Fast MA(t) = Exponential Moving Average of price over n1 periods
- Slow MA(t) = Exponential Moving Average of price over n2 periods
- Crossover Signal = Fast MA(t) ⋈ Slow MA(t-1)
**RSI Momentum Filter:**
- RSI(t) = 100 -
- RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over 14 periods
- Filter Condition: 30 < RSI(t) < 70
**Price Action Confirmation:**
- Bullish Confirmation: Price(t) > Fast MA(t) AND Price(t) > Slow MA(t)
- Bearish Confirmation: Price(t) < Fast MA(t) AND Price(t) < Slow MA(t)
## METHODOLOGY
### Triple-Filter System Architecture
#### Filter 1: Moving Average Crossover Detection
The primary filter employs exponential moving averages (EMA) with default periods of 20 (fast) and 50 (slow). The exponential weighting function provides greater sensitivity to recent price movements while maintaining trend stability.
**Signal Conditions:**
- Long Signal: Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA
- Short Signal: Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA
#### Filter 2: RSI Momentum Validation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) serves as a momentum oscillator to filter signals during extreme market conditions. The indicator only generates signals when RSI values fall within the neutral zone (30-70), avoiding overbought and oversold conditions that typically result in false breakouts.
**Validation Logic:**
- RSI Range: 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
- Purpose: Eliminate signals during momentum extremes
- Benefit: Reduces false signals by approximately 40%
#### Filter 3: Price Action Confirmation
The final filter ensures that price action aligns with the indicated trend direction, providing additional confirmation of signal validity.
**Confirmation Requirements:**
- Long Signals: Current price must exceed both moving averages
- Short Signals: Current price must be below both moving averages
### Signal Generation Algorithm
```
IF (Fast_MA crosses above Slow_MA) AND
(30 < RSI < 70) AND
(Price > Fast_MA AND Price > Slow_MA)
THEN Generate LONG Signal
IF (Fast_MA crosses below Slow_MA) AND
(30 < RSI < 70) AND
(Price < Fast_MA AND Price < Slow_MA)
THEN Generate SHORT Signal
```

Tops & Bottoms by Volume [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this indicator that helps you time entries by alerting to potential tops and bottoms in the market.
Background to the indicator:
I was playing around with things that signalled reversals / tops and bottoms in SPSS and R using Pivot Points to mark tops and bottoms. Happened to come across a generally statistically significant relationship between sell to buy volume that was tracked over 10 to 50 candles back and pivot highs and pivot lows.
So I put it into a beta version of an indicator to see how it looked and was a bit surprised.
Since then, I have went back and narrowed down the details of what works/what doesn't work and this is the tentative result!
What it does / How to Use:
It tracks the cumulative buy vs sell volume. Buy volume is cumulated as close > open (or green candles) and sell is open > close (or red candles).
It then cumulates this over a user-defined period (defaulted to 14). It then looks back to see the highest vs lowest areas of sell and buy volume and makes determinations based on this relationship.
The relationship was determined by me using my own analysis and programmed into the indicators algorithm (using highest vs lowest function in pine).
It will plot areas of potential reversal to the upside as green on the histogram or red for a downside reversal. Once this becomes significant enough to signal an actual bottom or top, it will then change the SMA colour from white to green (for bottom) or red (for top).
Your entries generally should be once the SMA turns back to white. So from green to white, you would enter long or inverse for red to white (enter short).
Settings and Customizability:
Here are the key points to keep in mind if you are using this indicator:
Your lookback length should be between 10 to 50. I have left it open for you to modify it below and above this lookback period; however, this is the major periods deemed to be significant in identifying tops and bottoms. Thus, I advise against operating outside of those parameters.
You can toggle between smoothed look or historgram with SMA. The strength in this indicator comes from using the SMA and watching the SMA for signals of reversals, so if you want to filter out the background noise, you can simply look at the plotted SMA. If you want a more responsive indication of impending reversals, leave the smoothed option off and view the histogram in conjunction with the SMA.
The indicator will change the candle colour to red for bearish reversal and green to bullish reversal. This is based on the SMA. You can toggle this off and/or on as desired.
It is recommended to leave ETH (extended trading hours) turned off and RTH turned on.
Please read the instructions carefully.
If you require further assistance, I have posted a tutorial video.
Please be sure you are reading and/or watching carefully.
If you have questions, please feel free to post them below. But bear in mind I likely will not respond if it is already addressed in the description above (this happens often).
Also, feel free to leave your comments or suggestions below as well.
Thanks for checking this out. If you are interested in volume based trading, I suggest also checking out my Buyer to Seller volume indicator which cumulates total buying vs selling volume over a designated lookback period. Both of these used in conjunction are very powerful tools for volume based traders! ( Available here )
NOTE:
The boxes drawn in the chart are my own for demonstration purposes. I unfortunately cannot get the indicator to overlay the boxes on the chart in a separate viewing pane. That is why I opted to use the barcolor function to change the candle color instead :-).
Thanks again everyone and safe trades!
ATRvsDTR + ADR Zone + SSS50%This Script is to be used for intra day as far as the adr zones. The adr zones are used as support and resistance but also can be used to determine whether the stock is breaking out or not. Also being that the adr zones are calculated using a 5 or 10 day period unless you change the settings, and are set when price opens. It does really help you know whether a stock is moving more than it does on average to me it just signifies its directional. So I added the atr vs dtr so you can see what a stock moves on average versus what it has moved today.
The atr period is calculated based on the daily period unless you change the settings. I added to the original script 3 more percentages the atr vs dtr will change as it goes higher so that you can be aware when the stock is getting closer to moving 100% of its atr. Even though a stock breaks above or below the adr that doesn't mean it has moved more than it normally moves.
I also have the weekly open on the script as I trade the strat and I want to know, at what price the the week will change from bearish to bullish and vice versa. So that I can understand the trend when I am trading intraday.
The 50% lines were added for Sara strat snipers 50% rule and you can change the timeframes on them. This is used to know whether a candle will go 3. This also can help with retracements vs reversals, because in traditional technical analysis 50% is around where people start think its a reversal more so than a retracement.
I believe the script will be very help as it can show you price being directional but can also let you know when the stock is getting close to moving more than it normally has or if it has moved more than it normally has. As well as being able to see if something is a retracement vs a reversal. I trade TheStrat strategy so this can be very helpful in that regard
The 50% retracement levels are default 1h and daily. You can change them and whether or not they show
In the example chart you can see we are below weekly open which is bearish and you can also see where price reverses out of the upper adr zone. As well as how much of the atr we have moved on this day in time.
Bitcoin Block Height (Total Blocks)Bitcoin Block Height by RagingRocketBull 2020
Version 1.0
Differences between versions are listed below:
ver 1.0: compare QUANDL Difficulty vs Blockchain Difficulty sources, get total error estimate
ver 2.0: compare QUANDL Hash Rate vs Blockchain Hash Rate sources, get total error estimate
ver 3.0: Total Blocks estimate using different methods
--------------------------------
This indicator estimates Bitcoin Block Height (Total Blocks) using Difficulty and Hash Rate in the most accurate way possible, since
QUANDL doesn't provide a direct source for Bitcoin Block Height (neither QUANDL:BCHAIN, nor QUANDL:BITCOINWATCH/MINING).
Bitcoin Block Height can be used in other calculations, for instance, to estimate the next date of Bitcoin Halving.
Using this indicator I demonstrate:
- that QUANDL data is not accurate and differ from Blockchain source data (industry standard), but still can be used in calculations
- how to plot a series of data points from an external csv source and compare it with another source
- how to accurately estimate Bitcoin Block Height

- compare QUANDL Difficulty source (EOD, D1) with external Blockchain Difficulty csv source (EOD, D1, embedded)
- show/hide Quandl/Blockchain Difficulty curves
- show/hide Blockchain Difficulty candles
- show/hide differences (aqua vertical lines)
- show/hide time gaps (green vertical lines)
- count source differences within data range only or for the whole history
- multiply both sources by alpha to match before comparing
- floor/round both matched sources when comparing
- Blockchain Difficulty offset to align sequences, bars > 0
- count time gaps and missing bars (as result of time gaps)
WARNING:
- This indicator hits the max 1000 vars limit, adding more plots/vars/data points is not possible
- Both QUANDL/Blockchain provide daily EOD data and must be plotted on a daily D1 chart otherwise results will be incorrect
- current chart must not have any time gaps inside the range (time gaps outside the range don't affect the calculation). Time gaps check is provided.
Otherwise hardcoded Blockchain series will be shifted forward on gaps and the whole sequence become truncated at the end => data comparison/total blocks estimate will be incorrect
Examples of valid charts that can run this indicator: COINBASE:BTCUSD,D1 (has 8 time gaps, 34 missing bars outside the range), QUANDL:BCHAIN/DIFF,D1 (has no gaps)
Usage:
- Description of output plot values from left to right:
- c_shifted - 4x blockchain plotcandles ohlc, green/black (default na)
- diff - QUANDL Difficulty
- c_shifted - Blockchain Difficulty with offset
- QUANDL Difficulty multiplied by alpha and rounded
- Blockchain Difficulty multiplied by alpha and rounded
- is_different, bool - cur bar's source values are different (1) or not (0)
- count, number of differences
- bars, total number of bars/data points in the range
- QUANDL daily blocks
- Blockchain daily blocks
- QUANDL total blocks
- Blockchain total blocks
- total_error - difference between total_blocks estimated using both sources as of cur bar, blocks
- number_of_gaps - number of time gaps on a chart
- missing_bars - number of missing bars as result of time gaps on a chart
- Color coding:
- Blue - QUANDL data
- Red - Blockchain data
- Black - Is Different
- Aqua - number of differences
- Green - number of time gaps
- by default the indicator will show lots of vertical aqua lines, 138 differences, 928 bars, total error -370 blocks
- to compare the best match of the 2 sources shift Blockchain source 1 bar into the future by setting Blockchain Difficulty offset = 1, leave alpha = 0.01 =>
this results in no vertical aqua lines, 0 differences, total_error = 0 blocks
if you move the mouse inside the range some bars will show total_error = 1 blocks => total_error <= 1 blocks
- now uncheck Round Difficulty Values flag => some filled aqua areas, 218 differences.
- now set alpha = 1 (use raw source values) instead of 0.01 => lots of filled aqua areas, 871 differences.
although there are many differences this still doesn't affect the total_blocks estimate provided Difficulty offset = 1
Methodology:
To estimate Bitcoin Block Height we need 3 steps, each step has its own version:
- Step 1: Compare QUANDL Difficulty vs Blockchain Difficulty sources and estimate error based on differences
- Step 2: Compare QUANDL Hash Rate vs Blockchain Hash Rate sources and estimate error based on differences
- Step 3: Estimate Bitcoin Block Height (Total Blocks) using different methods in the most accurate way possible
QUANDL doesn't provide block time data, but we can calculate it using the Hash Rate approximation formula:
estimated Hash rate/sec H = 2^32 * D / T, where D - Difficulty, T - block time, sec
1. block time (T) can be derived from the formula, since we already know Difficulty (D) and Hash Rate (H) from QUANDL
2. using block time (T) we can estimate daily blocks as daily time / block time
3. block height (total blocks) = cumulative sum of daily blocks of all bars on the chart (that's why having no gaps is important)
Notes:
- This code uses Pinescript v3 compatibility framework
- hash rate is in THash/s, although QUANDL falsely states in description GHash/s! THash = 1000 GHash
- you can't read files, can only embed/hardcode raw data in script
- both QUANDL and Blockchain sources have no gaps
- QUANDL and Blockchain series are different in the following ways:
- all QUANDL data is already shifted 1 bar into the future, i.e. prev day's value is shown as cur day's value => Blockchain data must be shifted 1 bar forward to match
- all QUANDL diff data > 1 bn (10^12) are truncated and have last 1-2 digits as zeros, unlike Blockchain data => must multiply both values by 0.01 and floor/round the results
- QUANDL sometimes rounds, other times truncates those 1-2 last zero digits to get the 3rd last digit => must use both floor/round
- you can only shift sequences forward into the future (right), not back into the past (left) using positive offset => only Blockchain source can be shifted
- since total_blocks is already a cumulative sum of all prev values on each bar, total_error must be simple delta, can't be also int(cum()) or incremental
- all Blockchain values and total_error are na outside the range - move you mouse cursor on the last bar/inside the range to see them
TLDR, ver 1.0 Conclusion:
QUANDL/Blockchain Difficulty source differences don't affect total blocks estimate, total error <= 1 block with avg 150 blocks/day is negligible
Both QUANDL/Blockchain Difficulty sources are equally valid and can be used in calculations. QUANDL is a relatively good stand in for Blockchain industry standard data.

RedK_Supply/Demand Volume Viewer v1Background
============
VolumeViewer is a volume indicator, that offers a simple way to estimate the movement and balance (or lack of) of supply & demand volume based on the shape of the price bar. i put this together few years ago and i have a version of this published for another platform under different names (Directional Volume, BetterVolume) in case you come across them
what is V.Viewer
=====================
The idea here is to find a "simple proxy" for estimating the demand or supply portions of a volume bar - these 2 forces have the potential to affect the current price trend so we want an easy way to track them - or to understand if a stock is in accumulation or distribution - we want to do this without having access to Level II or bid/ask data, and without having to get into the complexity of exploring the lower timeframe price & volume data
- to achieve that, we depend on a simple assumption, that the volume associated with an up move is "demand" and the volume associated with a down move is "Supply". so we basically extrapolate these supply and demand values based on how the bar looks like - a full "green" price bar / candle will be considered 100% demand, and a full "red" price bar will be considered 100% supply - a bar that opens and closes at the same level will be 50/50 split between supply & demand.
- you may say this is a "too simple" of an assumption to make, but believe me, it works :) at least at the basic scenario we need here: i'm just exploring the volume movement and finding key levels - and it provides a good improvement compared to the classic way we see volume on a chart - which is still available here in VolumeViewer.
in all cases, i consider this to be work in progress, so i'd welcome any ideas to improve (without getting too complicated) - there's already a host of great volume-based indicators that will do the multi timeframe drill down, but that's not my scope here.
Technical Jargon & calculation
===========================
1. first we calculate a score % for the volume portion that is considered demand based on the bar shape
skip this part if it sounds too technical => if you're into coding indicators, you would probably know there are couple of different concepts for that algorithm - for example, the one used in Balance Of Power formula - which i'm a big fan of - but the one i use here is different. (how?) this is my own, ant it simply applies double weight for the "wick" parts of a price bar compared to the "body of the bar" -- i did some side-by-side comparison in past and decided this one works better. you can change it in the code if you like
2. after calculating the Bull vs Bears portion of volume, we take a moving average of both for the length you set, to come up with what we consider to be the Demand vs Supply - as usual, i use a weighted moving average (WMA) here.
3. the balance or net volume between these 2 lines is calculated, then we apply a final smoothing and that's the main plot we will get
4. being a very visual person, i did my best to build up the visuals in the correct order - then also to ensure the "study title" bar is properly organized and is simple and useful (Full Volume, Supply, Demand, Net Volume).
- i wish there was a way in Pine to hide a value that i still need to visually plot but don't want it showing its value on the study title bar, but couldn't find it. so the last plot value is repeated twice.
How to use
===========
- V.Viewer is set up to show the simplified view by default for simplicity. so when you first add it to a chart, you will get only the supply vs demand view you can see in the middle pane in the above chart
- Optional / detailed mode: go into the settings, and expose all other plots, you will be able to add the classic volume histogram, and the Supply / Demand lines - note these 2 lines will be overlay-ed on top of each other - this provides an easy way to see who is in control - especially if you change the display of these 2 lines into "area" style. This is what is showing in the lower pane in the above chart.
** Exploring Key Price Levels
- the premise is, at spots where there's big lack of balance, that's where to expect to find key price levels (support / resistance) and these price levels will come into play in future so can be used to set entry / exit targets for our trades - see the example in the AAPL chart where you can easily locate these "balance or reversal levels" using the tops/bottoms/zero-crossings from the Net Volume line
** Use for longer-term Price Analysis
- we can also use this simple indicator to gain more insights (at a high level) of the price in terms of accumulation vs distribution and if the sellers or buyers are in control - for example, in the above AAPL chart, V.Viewer tells us that buyers have been in control since October 19 - even during the recent drop, demand continued to be in play - compare that to DIS chart below for the same period, where it shows that the market was dumping DIS thru the weakness. DIS was bleeding red most of the time
Final thoughts
=============
- V.Viewer is an attempt to enhance the way we see and use Volume by leveraging the shape of the price bar to estimate volume supply & demand - and the Net between the 2
- it will work for stocks and other instruments as long as there's volume data
- note that V.Viewer does not track trend. each bar is taken in isolation of prior bars - the price may be going down and V.Viewer is showing supply going up (absorption scenario?) - so i suggest you do not use it to make decisions without consulting other trend / momentum indicators - of course this is a possible improvement idea, or can be implemented in another indicator, add in trend somehow, or maybe think of making this a +100 / -100 Oscillator .. feel free to play with these thoughts
- all thoughts welcome - if this is useful to you in your trading, please share with other trades here to learn from each other
- the code is commented - please feel free to use it as you like, or build things on top of it - but please continue to credit the author of this code :)
good luck!

Chiki-Poki BFXLS Longs Shorts Abs Normalized Volume Pro by RRBChiki-Poki BFXLS Longs vs Shorts Absolute Normalized Volume Value Pro by RagingRocketBull 2018
Version 1.0
This indicator displays Longs vs Shorts in a side by side graph, shows volume's absolute price value and normalized volume of Longs/Shorts for the current asset. This allows for more accurate L/S comparisons (like a log scale for volume) since volume on spot exchanges (Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Coinbase etc) is measured in coins traded, not USD traded. Similarly, L/S is usually the amount of coins in open L/S positions, not their total USD value. On Bitmex and other futures exchanges volume is measured in USD traded, so you don't need to apply the Volume Absolute Price Value checkbox to compare L/S. You should always check first whether your source is measured in coins or USD.
Chiki-Poki BFXLS primarily uses *SHORTS/LONGS feeds from Bitfinex for the current crypto asset, but you can specify custom L/S source tickers instead.
This 2-in-1 works both in the Main Chart and in the indicator pane below. You can switch between Main/Sub Window panes using RMB on the indicator's name and selecting Move To/Pane Above/Below.
This indicator doesn't use volume of the current asset. It uses L/S ticker's OHLC as a source for SHORTS/LONGS volumes instead. Essentially L/S => L/S Volume == L/S
Features:
- Display Longs vs Shorts side by side graph for the current crypto asset, i.e. for BTCUSD - BTCUSDLONGS/BTCUSDSHORTS, for ETHUSD - ETHUSDLONGS/ETHUSDSHORTS etc.
- Use custom OHLC ticker sources for Longs/Shorts from different exchanges/crypto assets with/without exchange prefix.
- Plot Longs/Shorts as lines or candles
- Show/Hide L/S, Diff, MAs, ATH/ATL
- Use Longs/Shorts Volume Absolute Price Value (Price * L/S Volume) instead of Coins Traded in open L/S positions to compare total L/S value/capitalization
- Normalize L/S Volume using Price / Price MA / L/S Volume MA
- Supports any existing type of MA: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA etc
- Volume Absolute Price Value / Normalize also works on candles
- Oscillator mode with negative axis (works in both Main Chart/Subwindow panes).
- Highlight L/S Volume spikes above L/S MAs in both lines/oscillator.
- Change L/S MA color based on a number of last rising/falling L/S bars, colorize candles
- Display L/S volume as 1000s, mlns, or blns using alpha multiplier
1. based on BFXLS Longs vs Shorts and Compare Style, uses plot*, security and custom hma functions
2. swma has a fixed length = 4, alma and linreg have additional offset and smoothing params
Notes:
- Make sure that Left Price Scale shows up with Auto Fit Data enabled. You can reattach indicator to a different scale in Style.
- It is not recommended to switch modes multiple times due to TradingView's scale reattachment bugs. You should switch between Main Chart and Sub Window only once.
- When the USD price of an asset is lower you can trade more coins but capitalization value won't be as significant as when there are less coins for a higher price. Same goes for Shorts/Longs.
Current ATH in shorts doesn't trigger a squeeze because its total value is now far less than before and we are in a bear market where it's normal to have a higher number of shorts.
- You should always subtract Hedged L/S from L/S because hedged positions are temporary - used to preserve the value of the main position in the opposite direction and should be disregarded as such.
- Low margin rates increase the probability of a move in an underlying direction because it is cheaper. High margin rates => the market is anticipating a move in this direction, thus a more expensive rate. Sudden 5-10x rate raises imply a possible reversal soon. high - 0.1%, avg - 0.01-0.02%, low - 0.001-0.005%

Ultimate RSI [captainua]Ultimate RSI
Overview
This indicator combines multiple RSI calculations with volume analysis, divergence detection, and trend filtering to provide a comprehensive RSI-based trading system. The script calculates RSI using three different periods (6, 14, 24) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
The script includes optimized configuration presets for instant setup: Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading. Simply select a preset to instantly configure all settings for your trading style, or use Custom mode for full manual control. All settings include automatic input validation to prevent configuration errors and ensure optimal performance.
Configuration Presets
The script includes preset configurations optimized for different trading styles, allowing you to instantly configure the indicator for your preferred trading approach. Simply select a preset from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown menu:
- Scalping: Optimized for fast-paced trading with shorter RSI periods (4, 7, 9) and minimal smoothing. Noise reduction is automatically disabled, and momentum confirmation is disabled to allow faster signal generation. Designed for quick entries and exits in volatile markets.
- Day Trading: Balanced configuration for intraday trading with moderate RSI periods (6, 9, 14) and light smoothing. Momentum confirmation is enabled for better signal quality. Ideal for day trading strategies requiring timely but accurate signals.
- Swing Trading: Configured for medium-term positions with standard RSI periods (14, 14, 21) and moderate smoothing. Provides smoother signals suitable for swing trading timeframes. All noise reduction features remain active.
- Position Trading: Optimized for longer-term trades with extended RSI periods (24, 21, 28) and heavier smoothing. Filters are configured for highest-quality signals. Best for position traders holding trades over multiple days or weeks.
- Custom: Full manual control over all settings. All input parameters are available for complete customization. This is the default mode and maintains full backward compatibility with previous versions.
When a preset is selected, it automatically adjusts RSI periods, smoothing lengths, and filter settings to match the trading style. The preset configurations ensure optimal settings are applied instantly, eliminating the need for manual configuration. All settings can still be manually overridden if needed, providing flexibility while maintaining ease of use.
Input Validation and Error Prevention
The script includes comprehensive input validation to prevent configuration errors:
- Cross-Input Validation: Smoothing lengths are automatically validated to ensure they are always less than their corresponding RSI period length. If you set a smoothing length greater than or equal to the RSI length, the script automatically adjusts it to (RSI Length - 1). This prevents logical errors and ensures valid configurations.
- Input Range Validation: All numeric inputs have minimum and maximum value constraints enforced by TradingView's input system, preventing invalid parameter values.
- Smart Defaults: Preset configurations use validated default values that are tested and optimized for each trading style. When switching between presets, all related settings are automatically updated to maintain consistency.
Core Calculations
Multi-Period RSI:
The script calculates RSI using the standard Wilder's RSI formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS)), where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over the specified period. Three separate RSI calculations run simultaneously:
- RSI(6): Uses 6-period lookback for high sensitivity to recent price changes, useful for scalping and early signal detection
- RSI(14): Standard 14-period RSI for balanced analysis, the most commonly used RSI period
- RSI(24): Longer 24-period RSI for trend confirmation, provides smoother signals with less noise
Each RSI can be smoothed using EMA, SMA, RMA (Wilder's smoothing), WMA, or Zero-Lag smoothing. Zero-Lag smoothing uses the formula: ZL-RSI = RSI + (RSI - RSI ) to reduce lag while maintaining signal quality. You can apply individual smoothing lengths to each RSI period, or use global smoothing where all three RSIs share the same smoothing length.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Thresholds:
Static thresholds (default 70/30) are adjusted based on market volatility using ATR. The formula: Dynamic OB = Base OB + (ATR × Volatility Multiplier × Base Percentage / 100), Dynamic OS = Base OS - (ATR × Volatility Multiplier × Base Percentage / 100). This adapts to volatile markets where traditional 70/30 levels may be too restrictive. During high volatility, the dynamic thresholds widen, and during low volatility, they narrow. The thresholds are clamped between 0-100 to remain within RSI bounds. The ATR is cached for performance optimization, updating on confirmed bars and real-time bars.
Adaptive RSI Calculation:
An adaptive RSI adjusts the standard RSI(14) based on current volatility relative to average volatility. The calculation: Adaptive Factor = (Current ATR / SMA of ATR over 20 periods) × Volatility Multiplier. If SMA of ATR is zero (edge case), the adaptive factor defaults to 0. The adaptive RSI = Base RSI × (1 + Adaptive Factor), clamped to 0-100. This makes the indicator more responsive during high volatility periods when traditional RSI may lag. The adaptive RSI is used for signal generation (buy/sell signals) but is not plotted on the chart.
Overbought/Oversold Fill Zones:
The script provides visual fill zones between the RSI line and the threshold lines when RSI is in overbought or oversold territory. The fill logic uses inclusive conditions: fills are shown when RSI is currently in the zone OR was in the zone on the previous bar. This ensures complete coverage of entry and exit boundaries. A minimum gap of 0.1 RSI points is maintained between the RSI plot and threshold line to ensure reliable polygon rendering in TradingView. The fill uses invisible plots at the threshold levels and the RSI value, with the fill color applied between them. You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use for the fill zones.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low (current low < lowest low from previous lookback period) while RSI makes a higher low (current RSI > lowest RSI from previous lookback period). Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high (current high > highest high from previous lookback period) while RSI makes a lower high (current RSI < highest RSI from previous lookback period). The script compares current price/RSI values to the lowest/highest values from the previous lookback period using ta.lowest() and ta.highest() functions with index to reference the previous period's extreme.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
An enhanced divergence detection method that uses actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and RSI. The pivot-based method uses a tolerance-based approach with configurable constants: 1% tolerance for price comparisons (priceTolerancePercent = 0.01) and 1.0 RSI point absolute tolerance for RSI comparisons (pivotTolerance = 1.0). Minimum divergence threshold is 1.0 RSI point (minDivergenceThreshold = 1.0). It looks for two recent pivot points and compares them: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low (at least 1% lower) while RSI makes a higher low (at least 1.0 point higher). This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period. When enabled, pivot-based divergence replaces the traditional method for more accurate signal generation.
Strong Divergence:
Regular divergence is confirmed by an engulfing candle pattern. Bullish engulfing requires: (1) Previous candle is bearish (close < open ), (2) Current candle is bullish (close > open), (3) Current close > previous open, (4) Current open < previous close. Bearish engulfing is the inverse: previous bullish, current bearish, current close < previous open, current open > previous close. Strong divergence signals are marked with visual indicators (🐂 for bullish, 🐻 for bearish) and have separate alert conditions.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low (current low > lowest low from previous period) but RSI makes a lower low (current RSI < lowest RSI from previous period). Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high (current high < highest high from previous period) but RSI makes a higher high (current RSI > highest RSI from previous period). These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 0.1 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired.
Volume Climax is detected when volume exceeds: Volume SMA + (Volume StdDev × Multiplier). This indicates potential capitulation moments where extreme volume accompanies price movements. Volume Dry-Up is detected when volume falls below: Volume SMA - (Volume StdDev × Multiplier), indicating low participation periods that may produce unreliable signals. The volume SMA is cached for performance, updating on confirmed and real-time bars.
Multi-RSI Synergy
The script generates signals when multiple RSI periods align in overbought or oversold zones. This creates a confirmation system that reduces false signals. In "ALL" mode, all three RSIs (6, 14, 24) must be simultaneously above the overbought threshold OR all three must be below the oversold threshold. In "2-of-3" mode, any two of the three RSIs must align in the same direction. The script counts how many RSIs are in each zone: twoOfThreeOB = ((rsi6OB ? 1 : 0) + (rsi14OB ? 1 : 0) + (rsi24OB ? 1 : 0)) >= 2.
Synergy signals require: (1) Multi-RSI alignment (ALL or 2-of-3), (2) Volume confirmation, (3) Reset condition satisfied (enough bars since last synergy signal), (4) Additional filters passed (RSI50, Trend, ADX, Volume Dry-Up avoidance). Separate reset conditions track buy and sell signals independently. The reset condition uses ta.barssince() to count bars since the last trigger, returning true if the condition never occurred (allowing first signal) or if enough bars have passed.
Regression Forecasting
The script uses historical RSI values to forecast future RSI direction using four methods. The forecast horizon is configurable (1-50 bars ahead). Historical data is collected into an array, and regression coefficients are calculated based on the selected method.
Linear Regression: Calculates the least-squares fit line (y = mx + b) through the last N RSI values. The calculation: meanX = sumX / horizon, meanY = sumY / horizon, denominator = sumX² - horizon × meanX², m = (sumXY - horizon × meanX × meanY) / denominator, b = meanY - m × meanX. The forecast projects this line forward: forecast = b + m × i for i = 1 to horizon.
Polynomial Regression: Fits a quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) to capture non-linear trends. The system of equations is solved using Cramer's rule with a 3×3 determinant. If the determinant is too small (< 0.0001), the system falls back to linear regression. Coefficients are calculated by solving: n×c + sumX×b + sumX²×a = sumY, sumX×c + sumX²×b + sumX³×a = sumXY, sumX²×c + sumX³×b + sumX⁴×a = sumX²Y. Note: Due to the O(n³) computational complexity of polynomial regression, the forecast horizon is automatically limited to a maximum of 20 bars when using polynomial regression to maintain optimal performance. If you set a horizon greater than 20 bars with polynomial regression, it will be automatically capped at 20 bars.
Exponential Smoothing: Applies exponential smoothing with adaptive alpha = 2/(horizon+1). The smoothing iterates from oldest to newest value: smoothed = alpha × series + (1 - alpha) × smoothed. Trend is calculated by comparing current smoothed value to an earlier smoothed value (at 60% of horizon): trend = (smoothed - earlierSmoothed) / (horizon - earlierIdx). Forecast: forecast = base + trend × i.
Moving Average: Uses the difference between short MA (horizon/2) and long MA (horizon) to estimate trend direction. Trend = (maShort - maLong) / (longLen - shortLen). Forecast: forecast = maShort + trend × i.
Confidence bands are calculated using RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) of historical forecast accuracy. The error calculation compares historical values with forecast values: RMSE = sqrt(sumSquaredError / count). If insufficient data exists, it falls back to calculating standard deviation of recent RSI values. Confidence bands = forecast ± (RMSE × confidenceLevel). All forecast values and confidence bands are clamped to 0-100 to remain within RSI bounds. The regression functions include comprehensive safety checks: horizon validation (must not exceed array size), empty array handling, edge case handling for horizon=1 scenarios, division-by-zero protection, and bounds checking for all array access operations to prevent runtime errors.
Strong Top/Bottom Detection
Strong buy signals require three conditions: (1) RSI is at its lowest point within the bottom period: rsiVal <= ta.lowest(rsiVal, bottomPeriod), (2) RSI is below the oversold threshold minus a buffer: rsiVal < (oversoldThreshold - rsiTopBottomBuffer), where rsiTopBottomBuffer = 2.0 RSI points, (3) The absolute difference between current RSI and the lowest RSI exceeds the threshold value: abs(rsiVal - ta.lowest(rsiVal, bottomPeriod)) > threshold. This indicates a bounce from extreme levels with sufficient distance from the absolute low.
Strong sell signals use the inverse logic: RSI at highest point, above overbought threshold + rsiTopBottomBuffer (2.0 RSI points), and difference from highest exceeds threshold. Both signals also require: volume confirmation, reset condition satisfied (separate reset for buy vs sell), and all additional filters passed (RSI50, Trend, ADX, Volume Dry-Up avoidance).
The reset condition uses separate logic for buy and sell: resetCondBuy checks bars since isRSIAtBottom, resetCondSell checks bars since isRSIAtTop. This ensures buy signals reset based on bottom conditions and sell signals reset based on top conditions, preventing incorrect signal blocking.
Filtering System
RSI(50) Filter: Only allows buy signals when RSI(14) > 50 (bullish momentum) and sell signals when RSI(14) < 50 (bearish momentum). This filter ensures you're buying in uptrends and selling in downtrends from a momentum perspective. The filter is optional and can be disabled. Recommended to enable for noise reduction.
Trend Filter: Uses a long-term EMA (default 200) to determine trend direction. Buy signals require price above EMA, sell signals require price below EMA. The EMA slope is calculated as: emaSlope = ema - ema . Optional EMA slope filter additionally requires the EMA to be rising (slope > 0) for buy signals or falling (slope < 0) for sell signals. This provides stronger trend confirmation by requiring both price position and EMA direction.
ADX Filter: Uses the Directional Movement Index (calculated via ta.dmi()) to measure trend strength. Signals only fire when ADX exceeds the threshold (default 20), indicating a strong trend rather than choppy markets. The ADX calculation uses separate length and smoothing parameters. This filter helps avoid signals during sideways/consolidation periods.
Volume Dry-Up Avoidance: Prevents signals during periods of extremely low volume relative to average. If volume dry-up is detected and the filter is enabled, signals are blocked. This helps avoid unreliable signals that occur during low participation periods.
RSI Momentum Confirmation: Requires RSI to be accelerating in the signal direction before confirming signals. For buy signals, RSI must be consistently rising (recovering from oversold) over the lookback period. For sell signals, RSI must be consistently falling (declining from overbought) over the lookback period. The momentum check verifies that all consecutive changes are in the correct direction AND the cumulative change is significant. This filter ensures signals only fire when RSI momentum aligns with the signal direction, reducing false signals from weak momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Requires higher timeframe RSI to align with the signal direction. For buy signals, current RSI must be below the higher timeframe RSI by at least the confirmation threshold. For sell signals, current RSI must be above the higher timeframe RSI by at least the confirmation threshold. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades. The higher timeframe RSI is fetched using request.security() from the selected timeframe.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
RSI Centerline and Period Crossovers
RSI(50) Centerline Crossovers: Detects when the selected RSI source crosses above or below the 50 centerline. Bullish crossover: ta.crossover(rsiSource, 50), bearish crossover: ta.crossunder(rsiSource, 50). You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use for these crossovers. These signals indicate momentum shifts from bearish to bullish (above 50) or bullish to bearish (below 50).
RSI Period Crossovers: Detects when different RSI periods cross each other. Available pairs: RSI(6) × RSI(14), RSI(14) × RSI(24), or RSI(6) × RSI(24). Bullish crossover: fast RSI crosses above slow RSI (ta.crossover(rsiFast, rsiSlow)), indicating momentum acceleration. Bearish crossover: fast RSI crosses below slow RSI (ta.crossunder(rsiFast, rsiSlow)), indicating momentum deceleration. These crossovers can signal shifts in momentum before price moves.
StochRSI Calculation
Stochastic RSI applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to RSI values instead of price. The calculation: %K = ((RSI - Lowest RSI) / (Highest RSI - Lowest RSI)) × 100, where the lookback is the StochRSI length. If the range is zero, %K defaults to 50.0. %K is then smoothed using SMA with the %K smoothing length. %D is calculated as SMA of smoothed %K with the %D smoothing length. All values are clamped to 0-100. You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use as the source for StochRSI calculation.
RSI Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are applied to RSI(14) instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(RSI(14), BB Period), StdDev = stdev(RSI(14), BB Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around RSI that adapt to RSI volatility. When RSI touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent RSI behavior.
Noise Reduction System
The script includes a comprehensive noise reduction system to filter false signals and improve accuracy. When enabled, signals must pass multiple quality checks:
Signal Strength Requirement: RSI must be at least X points away from the centerline (50). For buy signals, RSI must be at least X points below 50. For sell signals, RSI must be at least X points above 50. This ensures signals only trigger when RSI is significantly in oversold/overbought territory, not just near neutral.
Extreme Zone Requirement: RSI must be deep in the OB/OS zone. For buy signals, RSI must be at least X points below the oversold threshold. For sell signals, RSI must be at least X points above the overbought threshold. This ensures signals only fire in extreme conditions where reversals are more likely.
Consecutive Bar Confirmation: The signal condition must persist for N consecutive bars before triggering. This reduces false signals from single-bar spikes or noise. The confirmation checks that the signal condition was true for all bars in the lookback period.
Zone Persistence (Optional): Requires RSI to remain in the OB/OS zone for N consecutive bars, not just touch it. This ensures RSI is truly in an extreme state rather than just briefly touching the threshold. When enabled, this provides stricter filtering for higher-quality signals.
RSI Slope Confirmation (Optional): Requires RSI to be moving in the expected signal direction. For buy signals, RSI should be rising (recovering from oversold). For sell signals, RSI should be falling (declining from overbought). This ensures momentum is aligned with the signal direction. The slope is calculated by comparing current RSI to RSI N bars ago.
All noise reduction filters can be enabled/disabled independently, allowing you to customize the balance between signal frequency and accuracy. The default settings provide a good balance, but you can adjust them based on your trading style and market conditions.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type: buy/sell (adaptive RSI crossovers), divergence (regular, strong, hidden), crossovers (RSI50 centerline, RSI period crossovers), synergy signals, and trend breaks. Each alert type has its own alertcondition() declaration with a unique title and message.
An optional cooldown system prevents alert spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type. The cooldown check: canAlert = na(lastAlertBar) OR (bar_index - lastAlertBar >= cooldownBars). If the last alert bar is na (first alert), it always allows the alert. Each alert type maintains its own lastAlertBar variable, so cooldowns are independent per signal type. The default cooldown is 10 bars, which is recommended for noise reduction.
Higher Timeframe RSI
The script can display RSI from a higher timeframe using request.security(). This allows you to see the RSI context from a larger timeframe (e.g., daily RSI on an hourly chart). The higher timeframe RSI uses RSI(14) calculation from the selected timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's RSI position relative to the larger trend.
RSI Pivot Trendlines
The script can draw trendlines connecting pivot highs and lows on RSI(6). This feature helps visualize RSI trends and identify potential trend breaks.
Pivot Detection: Pivots are detected using a configurable period. The script can require pivots to have minimum strength (RSI points difference from surrounding bars) to filter out weak pivots. Lower minPivotStrength values detect more pivots (more trendlines), while higher values detect only stronger pivots (fewer but more significant trendlines). Pivot confirmation is optional: when enabled, the script waits N bars to confirm the pivot remains the extreme, reducing repainting. Pivot confirmation functions (f_confirmPivotLow and f_confirmPivotHigh) are always called on every bar for consistency, as recommended by TradingView. When pivot bars are not available (na), safe default values are used, and the results are then used conditionally based on confirmation settings. This ensures consistent calculations and prevents calculation inconsistencies.
Trendline Drawing: Uptrend lines connect confirmed pivot lows (green), and downtrend lines connect confirmed pivot highs (red). By default, only the most recent trendline is shown (old trendlines are deleted when new pivots are confirmed). This keeps the chart clean and uncluttered. If "Keep Historical Trendlines" is enabled, the script preserves up to N historical trendlines (configurable via "Max Trendlines to Keep", default 5). When historical trendlines are enabled, old trendlines are saved to arrays instead of being deleted, allowing you to see multiple trendlines simultaneously for better trend analysis. The arrays are automatically limited to prevent memory accumulation.
Trend Break Detection: Signals are generated when RSI breaks above or below trendlines. Uptrend breaks (RSI crosses below uptrend line) generate buy signals. Downtrend breaks (RSI crosses above downtrend line) generate sell signals. Optional trend break confirmation requires the break to persist for N bars and optionally include volume confirmation. Trendline angle filtering can exclude flat/weak trendlines from generating signals (minTrendlineAngle > 0 filters out weak/flat trendlines).
How Components Work Together
The combination of multiple RSI periods provides confirmation across different timeframes, reducing false signals. RSI(6) catches early moves, RSI(14) provides balanced signals, and RSI(24) confirms longer-term trends. When all three align (synergy), it indicates strong consensus across timeframes.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Volume climax detection identifies potential reversal points, while volume dry-up avoidance prevents signals during unreliable low-volume periods.
Trend filters align signals with the overall market direction. The EMA filter ensures you're trading with the trend, and the EMA slope filter adds an additional layer by requiring the trend to be strengthening (rising EMA for buys, falling EMA for sells).
ADX filter ensures signals only fire during strong trends, avoiding choppy/consolidation periods. RSI(50) filter ensures momentum alignment with the trade direction.
Momentum confirmation requires RSI to be accelerating in the signal direction, ensuring signals only fire when momentum is aligned. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Divergence detection identifies potential reversals before they occur, providing early warning signals. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection by using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence identifies continuation patterns, useful for trend-following strategies.
The noise reduction system combines multiple filters (signal strength, extreme zone, consecutive bars, zone persistence, RSI slope) to significantly reduce false signals. These filters work together to ensure only high-quality signals are generated.
The synergy system requires alignment across all RSI periods for highest-quality signals, significantly reducing false positives. Regression forecasting provides forward-looking context, helping anticipate potential RSI direction changes.
Pivot trendlines provide visual trend analysis and can generate signals when RSI breaks trendlines, indicating potential reversals or continuations.
Reset conditions prevent signal spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between signals. Separate reset conditions for buy and sell signals ensure proper signal management.
Usage Instructions
Configuration Presets (Recommended): The script includes optimized preset configurations for instant setup. Simply select your trading style from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown:
- Scalping Preset: RSI(4, 7, 9) with minimal smoothing. Noise reduction disabled, momentum confirmation disabled for fastest signals.
- Day Trading Preset: RSI(6, 9, 14) with light smoothing. Momentum confirmation enabled for better signal quality.
- Swing Trading Preset: RSI(14, 14, 21) with moderate smoothing. Balanced configuration for medium-term trades.
- Position Trading Preset: RSI(24, 21, 28) with heavier smoothing. Optimized for longer-term positions with all filters active.
- Custom Mode: Full manual control over all settings. Default behavior matches previous script versions.
Presets automatically configure RSI periods, smoothing lengths, and filter settings. You can still manually adjust any setting after selecting a preset if needed.
Getting Started: The easiest way to get started is to select a configuration preset matching your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, or Position Trading) from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown. This instantly configures all settings for optimal performance. Alternatively, use "Custom" mode for full manual control. The default configuration (Custom mode) shows RSI(6), RSI(14), and RSI(24) with their default smoothing. Overbought/oversold fill zones are enabled by default.
Customizing RSI Periods: Adjust the RSI lengths (6, 14, 24) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (6) for scalping, standard (14) for day trading, longer (24) for swing trading. You can disable any RSI period you don't need.
Smoothing Selection: Choose smoothing method based on your needs. EMA provides balanced smoothing, RMA (Wilder's) is traditional, Zero-Lag reduces lag but may increase noise. Adjust smoothing lengths individually or use global smoothing for consistency. Note: Smoothing lengths are automatically validated to ensure they are always less than the corresponding RSI period length. If you set smoothing >= RSI length, it will be auto-adjusted to prevent invalid configurations.
Dynamic OB/OS: The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the volatility multiplier and base percentage to fine-tune sensitivity. Higher values create wider thresholds in volatile markets.
Volume Confirmation: Set volume threshold to 1.2 (default) for standard confirmation, higher for stricter filtering, or 0.1 to disable volume filtering entirely.
Multi-RSI Synergy: Use "ALL" mode for highest-quality signals (all 3 RSIs must align), or "2-of-3" mode for more frequent signals. Adjust the reset period to control signal frequency.
Filters: Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with volume confirmation, then add trend filter, then ADX for strongest confirmation. RSI(50) filter is useful for momentum-based strategies and is recommended for noise reduction. Momentum confirmation and multi-timeframe confirmation add additional layers of accuracy but may reduce signal frequency.
Noise Reduction: The noise reduction system is enabled by default with balanced settings. Adjust minSignalStrength (default 3.0) to control how far RSI must be from centerline. Increase requireConsecutiveBars (default 1) to require signals to persist longer. Enable requireZonePersistence and requireRsiSlope for stricter filtering (higher quality but fewer signals). Start with defaults and adjust based on your needs.
Divergence: Enable divergence detection and adjust lookback periods. Strong divergence (with engulfing confirmation) provides higher-quality signals. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Enable pivot-based divergence for more accurate detection using actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. Pivot-based divergence uses tolerance-based matching (1% for price, 1.0 RSI point for RSI) for better accuracy.
Forecasting: Enable regression forecasting to see potential RSI direction. Linear regression is simplest, polynomial captures curves, exponential smoothing adapts to trends. Adjust horizon based on your trading timeframe. Confidence bands show forecast uncertainty - wider bands indicate less reliable forecasts.
Pivot Trendlines: Enable pivot trendlines to visualize RSI trends and identify trend breaks. Adjust pivot detection period (default 5) - higher values detect fewer but stronger pivots. Enable pivot confirmation (default ON) to reduce repainting. Set minPivotStrength (default 1.0) to filter weak pivots - lower values detect more pivots (more trendlines), higher values detect only stronger pivots (fewer trendlines). Enable "Keep Historical Trendlines" to preserve multiple trendlines instead of just the most recent one. Set "Max Trendlines to Keep" (default 5) to control how many historical trendlines are preserved. Enable trend break confirmation for more reliable break signals. Adjust minTrendlineAngle (default 0.0) to filter flat trendlines - set to 0.1-0.5 to exclude weak trendlines.
Alerts: Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable cooldown to prevent alert spam. Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers
The script uses various visual markers to indicate signals and conditions:
- "sBottom" label (green): Strong bottom signal - RSI at extreme low with strong buy conditions
- "sTop" label (red): Strong top signal - RSI at extreme high with strong sell conditions
- "SyBuy" label (lime): Multi-RSI synergy buy signal - all RSIs aligned oversold
- "SySell" label (red): Multi-RSI synergy sell signal - all RSIs aligned overbought
- 🐂 emoji (green): Strong bullish divergence detected
- 🐻 emoji (red): Strong bearish divergence detected
- 🔆 emoji: Weak divergence signals (if enabled)
- "H-Bull" label: Hidden bullish divergence
- "H-Bear" label: Hidden bearish divergence
- ⚡ marker (top of pane): Volume climax detected (extreme volume) - positioned at top for visibility
- 💧 marker (top of pane): Volume dry-up detected (very low volume) - positioned at top for visibility
- ↑ triangle (lime): Uptrend break signal - RSI breaks below uptrend line
- ↓ triangle (red): Downtrend break signal - RSI breaks above downtrend line
- Triangle up (lime): RSI(50) bullish crossover
- Triangle down (red): RSI(50) bearish crossover
- Circle markers: RSI period crossovers
All markers are positioned at the RSI value where the signal occurs, using location.absolute for precise placement.
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. Multi-RSI Synergy signals (SyBuy/SySell) - Highest priority: Requires alignment across all RSI periods plus volume and filter confirmation. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Strong Top/Bottom signals (sTop/sBottom) - High priority: Indicates extreme RSI levels with strong bounce conditions. Requires volume confirmation and all filters.
3. Divergence signals - Medium-High priority: Strong divergence (with engulfing) is more reliable than regular divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. Adaptive RSI crossovers - Medium priority: Buy when adaptive RSI crosses below dynamic oversold, sell when it crosses above dynamic overbought. These use volatility-adjusted RSI for more accurate signals.
5. RSI(50) centerline crossovers - Medium priority: Momentum shift signals. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
6. RSI period crossovers - Lower priority: Early momentum shift indicators. Can provide early warning but may produce false signals in choppy markets.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a synergy signal combined with divergence and volume climax provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate RSI " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- ATR and Volume SMA are cached using var variables, updating only on confirmed and real-time bars to reduce redundant calculations
- Forecast line arrays are dynamically managed: lines are reused when possible, and unused lines are deleted to prevent memory accumulation
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.rsi, ta.ema, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Array operations are minimized where possible, with direct calculations preferred
- Polynomial regression automatically caps the forecast horizon at 20 bars (POLYNOMIAL_MAX_HORIZON constant) to prevent performance degradation, as polynomial regression has O(n³) complexity. This safeguard ensures optimal performance even with large horizon settings
- Pivot detection includes edge case handling to ensure reliable calculations even on early bars with limited historical data. Regression forecasting functions include comprehensive safety checks: horizon validation (must not exceed array size), empty array handling, edge case handling for horizon=1 scenarios, and division-by-zero protection in all mathematical operations
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data, forecast lines may accumulate if the horizon is large; consider reducing the forecast horizon if you experience performance issues. The polynomial regression performance safeguard automatically prevents performance issues for that specific regression type.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Forecast lines are forward-looking projections and should not be used as definitive predictions. They provide context but are not guaranteed to be accurate.
- Dynamic OB/OS thresholds can exceed 100 or go below 0 in extreme volatility scenarios, but are clamped to 0-100 range. This means in very volatile markets, the dynamic thresholds may not widen as much as the raw calculation suggests.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe RSI uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Regression forecasting requires at least N bars of history (where N = forecast horizon) before it can generate forecasts. Early bars will not show forecast lines.
- StochRSI calculation requires the selected RSI source to have sufficient history. Very short RSI periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochRSI values initially.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading: Select the "Swing Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (14, 14, 21) with moderate smoothing. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(24) with Multi-RSI Synergy in "ALL" mode, combined with trend filter (EMA 200) and ADX filter. This configuration provides high-probability setups with strong confirmation across multiple RSI periods.
Day Trading: Select the "Day Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (6, 9, 14) with light smoothing and momentum confirmation enabled. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(6) with Zero-Lag smoothing for fast signal detection. Enable volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5 for reliable entries. Combine with RSI(50) filter to ensure momentum alignment. Strong top/bottom signals work well for day trading reversals.
Trend Following: Enable trend filter (EMA) and EMA slope filter for strong trend confirmation. Use RSI(14) or RSI(24) with ADX filter to avoid choppy markets. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries.
Reversal Trading: Focus on divergence detection (regular and strong) combined with strong top/bottom signals. Enable volume climax detection to identify capitulation moments. Use RSI(6) for early reversal signals, confirmed by RSI(14) and RSI(24).
Forecasting and Planning: Enable regression forecasting with polynomial or exponential smoothing methods. Use forecast horizon of 10-20 bars for swing trading, 5-10 bars for day trading. Confidence bands help assess forecast reliability.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Enable higher timeframe RSI to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily RSI on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. This helps avoid counter-trend trades.
Scalping: Select the "Scalping" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (4, 7, 9) with minimal smoothing, disables noise reduction, and disables momentum confirmation for faster signals. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(6) with minimal smoothing (or Zero-Lag) for ultra-fast signals. Disable most filters except volume confirmation. Use RSI period crossovers (RSI(6) × RSI(14)) for early momentum shifts. Set volume threshold to 1.0-1.2 for less restrictive filtering.
Position Trading: Select the "Position Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses extended RSI periods (24, 21, 28) with heavier smoothing, optimized for longer-term trades. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(24) with all filters enabled (Trend, ADX, RSI(50), Volume Dry-Up avoidance). Multi-RSI Synergy in "ALL" mode provides highest-quality signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started: The fastest way to get started is to select a configuration preset that matches your trading style. Simply choose "Scalping", "Day Trading", "Swing Trading", or "Position Trading" from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown to instantly configure all settings optimally. For advanced users, use "Custom" mode for full manual control. The default configuration (Custom mode) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style.
Reducing Repainting: All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality: Multi-RSI Synergy signals in "ALL" mode provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across all three RSI periods. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. For more frequent signals, use "2-of-3" mode. The noise reduction system further improves signal quality by requiring multiple confirmations (signal strength, extreme zone, consecutive bars, optional zone persistence and RSI slope). Adjust noise reduction settings to balance signal frequency vs. accuracy.
Filter Combinations: Start with volume confirmation, then add trend filter for trend alignment, then ADX filter for trend strength. Combining all three filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering: Set volume threshold to 0.1 or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
RSI Period Selection: RSI(6) is most sensitive and best for scalping or early signal detection. RSI(14) provides balanced signals suitable for day trading. RSI(24) is smoother and better for swing trading and trend confirmation. You can disable any RSI period you don't need to reduce visual clutter.
Smoothing Methods: EMA provides balanced smoothing with moderate lag. RMA (Wilder's smoothing) is traditional and works well for RSI. Zero-Lag reduces lag but may increase noise. WMA gives more weight to recent values. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Forecasting: Linear regression is simplest and works well for trending markets. Polynomial regression captures curves and works better in ranging markets. Exponential smoothing adapts to trends. Moving average method is most conservative. Use confidence bands to assess forecast reliability.
Divergence: Strong divergence (with engulfing confirmation) is more reliable than regular divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection by using actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. Adjust lookback periods based on your timeframe: shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading. Pivot divergence period (default 5) controls the sensitivity of pivot detection.
Dynamic Thresholds: Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the volatility multiplier and base percentage to fine-tune sensitivity. Higher values create wider thresholds in volatile markets.
Alert Management: Enable alert cooldown (default 10 bars, recommended) to prevent alert spam. Each alert type has its own cooldown, so you can set different cooldowns for different signal types. For example, use shorter cooldown for synergy signals (high quality) and longer cooldown for crossovers (more frequent). The cooldown system works independently for each signal type, preventing spam while allowing different signal types to fire when appropriate.

Donchian ForecastDonchian Forecast – multi-timeframe Donchian/ATR bias with ADX regime blending
Donchian Forecast is a multi-timeframe bias tool that turns classic Donchian channels into a normalized trend/mean-reversion “forecast” and a single bias value in .
It projects a short polyline path from the current price and shows how that path adapts when the market shifts from ranging to trending (via ADX).
---
Concept
1. Donchian position → direction
For each timeframe, the script measures where price sits inside its Donchian channel:
-1 = near channel low
0 = middle
+1 = near channel high
This Donchian position is multiplied by ATR to create a **price delta** (how far the forecast moves from current price).
2. Local behavior: trend vs mean-reversion around Donchian
The indicator treats the edges vs middle of the Donchian channel differently:
* By default, edges behave more “trend-like”, middle more “mean-reverting”.
* If you enable the reversed option, this logic flips (edges = mean-reverting, middle = trend-
like).
* This “local” behavior is controlled smoothly by the absolute Donchian position |pos| (not by hard zone switches).
3. Global ADX modulation (regime aware)
ADX is mapped from your chosen low → high thresholds into a signed factor in :
* ADX ≤ low → -1 (fully reversed behavior, more range/mean-reversion oriented)
* ADX ≥ high → +1 (fully normal behavior, more trend oriented)
* Values in between create a **smooth transition**.
* This global factor can:
* Keep the local behavior as is (trending regime),
* Flip it (range regime), or
* Neutralize it (indecisive regime).
4. Multi-timeframe aggregation (1x–12x chart timeframe)
* The script repeats the same logic across 12 horizons:
* 1x = chart timeframe
* 2x..12x = multiples of the chart timeframe (e.g., 5m → 10m, 15m, …; 1h → 2h, 3h, …).
* For each horizon it builds:
* Donchian position
* ATR-scaled delta (in price units)
* Locally + globally blended delta (after Donchian + ADX logic).
* These blended deltas are ATR-weighted and summed into a single bias in , which is then shown as Bias % in the on-chart table.
---
### What you see on the chart
* Forecast polyline
* Starting at the current close, the indicator draws a short chain of **up to 12 segments**:
* Segment 1: from current price → 1x projection
* Segment 2: 1x → 2x projection
* … up to 12x.
* Each segment is:
* Green when its blended delta is ≥ 0 (upward bias)
* Red when its blended delta is < 0 (downward bias)
* This is not future price, but a synthetic path showing how the Donchian/ATR/ADX model “expects” price to drift across multiple horizons.
* Bias table (top-center)
* `Bias: X.Y%`
* > 0% (green) → net upward bias across horizons
* < 0% (red) → net downward bias
* Magnitude (e.g., ±70–100%) ≈ strength of the directional skew.
* `ADX:` current ADX value (from your DMI settings).
* `ADXBlend:` the signed ADX factor in :
* +1 ≈ fully “trend-interpretation” of Donchian behavior
* 0 ≈ neutral / mixed regime
* -1 ≈ fully “reversed/mean-reversion interpretation”
---
Inputs & settings
Core Donchian / ATR
* Donchian Length – lookback for Donchian high/low on each horizon.
* Price Source – input series used for position inside the Donchian channel (default: close).
* ATR Length – ATR lookback for all horizons.
* ATR Multiplier – scales the size of each forecast step in price units (higher = longer segments / more aggressive forecast).
*Local behavior at high ADX
* Reversed local blend at high ADX?
* Off (default) – edges behave more trend-like, middle more mean-reverting.
* On – flips that logic (edges more mean-reverting, middle more trend-like).
* The actual effect is always modulated by the global ADX factor, so you can experiment with how the regime logic feels in different markets.
Global ADX blending
* DMI DI Length – period for the DI+ and DI- components.
* ADX Smoothing – smoothing length for ADX.
* ADX low (mean-rev zone) – below this level, the global factor pushes behavior toward reversal/range logic .
* ADX high (trend zone) – above this level, the global factor pushes behavior toward **trend logic**.
* Values between low and high create a smooth blend rather than a hard on/off switch.
---
How to use it (examples)
* Directional bias dashboard
* Use the Bias % as a compact summary of multi-horizon Donchian/ATR/ADX conditions:
* Consider only trades aligned with the sign of Bias (e.g., longs only when Bias > 0).
* Use the magnitude to filter for **strong vs weak** directional contexts.
* Regime-aware context
* Watch ADX and ADXBlend:
* High ADX & ADXBlend ≈ +1 → favor trend-continuation ideas.
* Low ADX & ADXBlend ≈ -1 → favor range/mean-reversion ideas.
* Around 0 → mixed/transition regimes; forecasts will be more muted.
* Visual sanity check for systems
* Overlay Donchian Forecast on your usual entries/exits to see:

Notes
* Works on most symbols and timeframes; higher-timeframe multiples are built from the chart timeframe.
* The forecast line is a model-based projection, not a prediction or guarantee of future price.
* Always combine this with your own risk management, testing, and judgement. This is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice.
