Contrarian Donchian Channel Indicator with Alerts and VisualsTitle: Contrarian Donchian Channel Indicator with Alerts and Visuals
Description:
The Contrarian Donchian Channel Indicator is designed for traders who seek to implement a contrarian approach using the time-tested Donchian Channel method. This indicator not only signals potential entry points but also enhances trading visualization by marking hypothetical stop loss and take profit levels.
Key Features:
Donchian Channel Signals: Utilizes the Donchian Channel to identify potential reversal points in the market. The indicator generates buy signals when the price touches or breaches the lower band, suggesting a potential upward reversal. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price touches or exceeds the upper band, indicating a possible downward reversal.
Pause After Stop Loss: Incorporates a unique feature that pauses signal generation for a user-defined number of candles after a stop loss is hit. This helps in avoiding immediate re-entries in volatile market conditions.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Visualization: For each signal, the indicator draws dashed lines on the chart to represent the hypothetical stop loss (red) and take profit (green) levels. These levels are calculated based on user-input percentages for stop loss and the risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Entry Signals: Traders can set up alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing them to stay informed of potential trading opportunities.
How to Use:
Entry Signal: A triangle symbol (green for buy, red for sell) accompanied by an alert (if set) indicates a potential entry point.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines: Use the drawn lines as a guide for setting stop loss and take profit levels if the signal aligns with your trading strategy.
Pause Feature: After a stop loss is triggered, observe the pause period before considering new signals to avoid overtrading in choppy markets.
Suitable For:
Traders who prefer a contrarian approach.
Those who use Donchian Channels as part of their trading strategy.
Traders who appreciate visual aids for better decision-making.
Customization Options:
Length of the Donchian Channel.
Risk/Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss Percentage.
Pause duration after a stop loss is hit.

Moving Average SARHello Traders,
Today, I have brought to you an indicator that utilizes the Parabolic SAR.
To begin with, the Parabolic SAR is an indicator that trails the price in the form of a parabola, seeking out Stop And Reverse points.
The indicator I present merges the calculation formula of the Parabolic SAR with the Moving Average.
One aspect I pondered over was how to determine the starting point of this SAR. Trailing the price flow with the logic set by the moving average was fine, but the question was where to begin.
My approach involves a variable I call 'sensitiveness,' which automatically adjusts the length according to the timeframe you are observing. Using pinescript's math.ceil, I formulated:
interval_to_len = timeframe.multiplier * (timeframe.isdaily ? 1440 : timeframe.isweekly ? 1440 * 7 : timeframe.ismonthly ? 1440 * 30 : 1)
main_len = math.ceil(sensitiveness / interval_to_len)
This formula represents the length, and through variables like:
_highest = math.min(ta.highest(high, main_len), close + ta.atr(46)*4)
_lowest = math.max(ta.lowest(low, main_len), close - ta.atr(46)*4)
I have managed to set the risk at a level that does not impose too great a burden.
Moreover, the 'Trend Strength Parameter' allows you to choose how strongly to trail the current price.
Lastly, think of the Band Width as a margin for accepting changes in the trend. As the value increases, the Band Width expands, measured through the ATR.
This indicator is particularly useful for holding positions and implementing trailing stops. It will be especially beneficial for those interested in price tracking of trends, like with Parabolic SAR or Supertrend.
I hope you find this tool useful.

Background
On Jul, 2023, Stella Osoba proposed a price channel idea in the article of “Using Price Channels”.
Function
In Stella Osoba's article "Using Price Channels" in the 2023 bonus issue, author Stella Osoba describes why many analysis techniques are based on the concept of price channels. In her explanation of the Donchian channels, she explains that they are used to identify the trend and that the prices for the last period are not included in the calculations. I rewrote this idea in the PINE version presented here, allowing the user to optionally include the most recent period. To not include the most recent period, set the IncludeRecentPeriod input to false.
Richard Donchian, a futures trader, created the Donchian Channel as a trend indicator. He was later dubbed the "father of trend following." Several trading methods based on Donchian channels have been established, but day traders can create their own as the indicator is versatile and can be interpreted in different ways. The renowned Turtle Traders also used a variation of the Donchian technique.
The Donchian Channel draws a line between the high and low price of an asset over a period of time, generally using candlesticks as a clock. Candlesticks are chart areas on charts that show the open, high, low, and close price and time frame of a particular stock. They owe their name to their shape. When the indicator is applied to a chart, the lines form a channel around the current price.
When day trading, Donchian channels are useful for highlighting trends and range periods. A third line can be added between the top and bottom lines if required. The upper and lower channel lines are averaged to form this center band. The indicator can be used on all timeframes, including one-minute and five-minute charts (where a bar forms every one or five minutes), and it can be used for forex, stock, futures, and options trading .

Hitokiri rsi and bbNG : This indicator is created by combining the standard period RSI indicator with an Oversold limit of 32, an Overbought limit of 70 and a period of 14 (these values can be changed optionally from the entries and still tabs of the indicator settings) and the Bollinger Band . indicator with a standard deviation of 2 and a period of 20. Also, the RSI Oversold is an upward green triangle where the price simultaneously falls below the BB and the lower limit (Low) (i.e. below 32), where the RSI Overbought (i.e. above 70) at the same time the price rises above the BB and the upper limit (Upper) is a downward red triangle. is indicated by a triangle. An alarm condition is established on these conditions. Source codes are posted visually and written in clear language and with explanations for beginners to learn to pine.

Joker Linear Regression ChannelLinear regression analysis is used to predict the value of a variable based on the value of another variable. The variable you want to predict is called the dependent variable. The variable you are using to predict the other variable's value is called the independent variable. This indicator plot channel bands of Linear Regression.
Happy KCRe-interpreted from @eSaniello for visual purposes and re-worked the math on the Keltner formula.
Keltner Channel Calculation
Keltner Channel Middle Line=EMA
Keltner Channel Upper Band=EMA+multiplier∗ATR
Keltner Channel Lower Band=EMA−multiplier∗ATR
where:
EMA=Exponential moving average (typically over 20 periods)
ATR=Average True Range (typically over 10 or 20 periods)
I wanted dual Keltner channels in a single indicator. If you add the default Tradingview Keltner channels twice with multipliers of 1 and 2, it should overlay exactly.
Rma Stdev BandsStandard Deviation support resistances with percent boxes.
The Relative Moving Average isn’t a well-known moving average. But TradingView uses this average with two popular indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Average True Range (ATR)
The weighting factors that the Relative Moving Average uses decrease exponentially. That way recent bars have the highest weight, while earlier bars get smaller weights the older they are.
HURST Channel StrategyBased on the work TJS / Trading Zoom / Svoboda
Strategy based on Hurst channel with loss averaging when an open position is below 0.5 channel range.
How it works:
1. opens the long position when the close price crosses over the lower band (from bottom to top)
2. opens additional position (double in size) when average position price is lower than average channel value (0.5)
3. closes the position when the close price crosses over the higher band (from top to bottom)
Works the best on :
- volatile and continuous instruments (futures)
- on timeframes above 15 minutes
- uptrends or consolidations
- downtrends require more capital to open double positions

MCL-YG Pair Trading StrategyThis strategy uses Bollinger Band breakouts to detect buy and sell signals on a correlated pair of assets.
100w EMA-SMA cloud, 200wSMA floorRepresents a support band for the full bull/bear market cycles. Bull markets tend to hold the 100w EMA over the 100w SMA. When the flippening is produced, historically for BTCUSD there is a long bear market which leads to a 200w SMA support. Then, when the 100w EMA gets above the 100w SMA again, the bear market is motly over and the bullrun starts again.
BANDSTrend indicator. It is based on a simple moving average, the maximum and minimum of this moving average for the period. When the moving average coincides with its maximum for the period , the trend is rising, when the moving average coincides with its minimum for the period, the trend is falling. The optimal periods should be selected for each timeframe and trading instrument.
OSOM TrendHow to Use the OSOM Trend Indicator
The OSOM Trend indicator is designed for use on TradingView charts. It provides trend identification, entry/exit signals, breakout detection, volume analysis, and market state insights. Below is a step-by-step guide to setting it up and using it effectively.
1. Adding the Indicator to Your Chart
Open TradingView (tradingview.com) and load a chart for your desired asset (e.g., stock, crypto, forex).
Click the "Indicators" button at the top of the chart.
Search for "OSOM Trend" (if it's a community script, you may need to paste the Pine Script code into the Pine Editor).
To add via Pine Editor:
Click the Pine Editor tab at the bottom.
Paste the provided code (from //@version=6 to the end).
Click "Save" and name it (e.g., "OSOM Trend").
Click "Add to Chart".
The indicator will overlay on your chart with default settings.
2. Configuring Inputs
Once added, click the gear icon next to the indicator name in the chart legend to open settings.
Inputs are grouped for ease:
OSOM WV Settings: Adjust trend length (default 14 for sensitivity), smoothing (7), band width (0.8 ATR multiplier), ATR length (10). Toggle fast mode for minimal lag, signals, forecast, take-profits, and re-entries.
Breakout Boxes Settings: Set pivot length (5), box widths (0.5 upper/lower via sliders), and colors.
MMB Settings: Volume lookback (200), EMA smoothing (10).
PVSRA Settings: Length (10), multipliers for climax/rising volumes (2.0/1.5). Optional symbol override (e.g., for aggregated BTC data).
Vector Candle Zones: Toggle on/off, max zones (500), zone type (body/wicks), transparency (90).
CVD Settings: Toggle long/short MAs (55/34 EMA), multipliers (1.5), lengths (40). Enable higher TF, volume integration, dynamic clouds, bar coloring, and status table.
Start with defaults for most assets; reduce lengths for lower timeframes (e.g., 1m-15m) to increase responsiveness, or increase for higher TFs (e.g., daily) for smoother trends.
Visual tweaks: Choose label size (small to reduce clutter), colors, and mode (Cloud for channels, Line Only for simplicity).
3. Interpreting the Visuals and Signals
Trend Line and Bands/Cloud:
Green (bullish) when price > upper band; red (bearish) when < lower band; gray (neutral).
Cloud mode shows a filled channel; use for range visualization. Single Band highlights the active support/resistance.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Up arrow (↑) labels for buys (price crosses over upper band); down arrow (↓) for sells (crosses under lower band).
If forecast enabled, labels show "count/avg" (e.g., "↑ 5/10") – current trend bars vs. smoothed historical average.
Take-profit: "✖" labels when overextended (Z-score > threshold, RSI EMA slope reversal).
Re-entries: "↻" labels on wick touches during trends (with cooldown to avoid spam).
Breakout Boxes:
Pink upper boxes (resistance) and green lower boxes (support) around pivots.
Boxes display total volume and buy/sell % breakdown.
Breakout signals: "BreakUp ⯁" or "BreakDn ⯁" labels/alerts when price crosses box edges – use for momentum trades.
MMB (Market Maker Build):
Green crosses below bars: Building long (accumulation).
Red crosses above: Building short.
Green X above: Closing long (distribution).
Red X below: Closing short.
Watch for clusters near support/resistance for institutional activity.
PVSRA Candle Coloring:
Overrides bar colors: Green/lime (bull climax), red (bear climax), blue (bull rising), violet/fuchsia (bear rising), gray (normal).
Vector zones (translucent boxes) highlight high-volume areas as potential S/R.
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta):
Bar colors: Blue (uptrend), red (downtrend) based on CVD vs. MAs.
Status table (top-right): Checkmarks for Long/Short/Test/Sideways states.
Long: CVD above both MAs (bullish confirmation).
Short: Below both (bearish).
Test: Near clouds (potential reversal).
Sideways: Within parallels (range-bound).
4. Trading Strategies
Trend Following: Enter long on buy signals in green trends; short on sell in red. Exit on opposite signals or take-profits. Use forecast for expected duration.
Breakouts: Trade breakups from upper boxes (long) or breakdowns from lower (short). Confirm with volume % (e.g., high buy volume in upper box suggests strong breakout).
Volume Confirmation: Align with MMB builds/closes and PVSRA climaxes for high-conviction entries. Avoid trades in sideways CVD states.
Filters: Use RSI EMA slope in take-profits for overbought/oversold avoidance. Higher TF CVD for broader context.
Timeframes: Versatile – scalping (1m-5m with fast mode), swing (1h-4h), position (daily+). Test on historical data.
Risk Management: Set stops below lower band (longs) or above upper (shorts). Size positions based on ATR.
5. Alerts and Automation
Set alerts via TradingView: Right-click chart > Add Alert > Condition (e.g., "Buy Signal" or "BreakUp").
Supported alerts: Buy/Sell, Take-Profit, BreakUp/Dn, MMB crosses, Vector patterns, CVD Long/Short entries.
For scripting: Use alertcondition() calls in the code for custom notifications.
6. Tips and Best Practices
Asset Suitability: Best on volume-rich assets (e.g., BTC/USD, stocks). For low-volume, disable CVD/MMB or use overrides.
Performance: On busy charts, reduce max counts (labels/boxes) to avoid lag. Test fast mode for real-time trading.
Backtesting: Use TradingView's replay or strategy tester (convert to strategy script by adding strategy() functions).
Limitations: Not a standalone system – combine with fundamentals/news. Higher TF data may delay updates.
Customization: Experiment with inputs; e.g., tighten bands (lower multiplier) for volatile markets.
This indicator excels in providing multi-layered confirmation, reducing false signals through volume integration. Always practice on demo accounts before live trading.
Channels Strategy [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This strategy is based on Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channel price "rebounds" (the idea of price bouncing from one band to another).
The strategy has several customizable options, which allows you to refine the strategy for your asset and timeframe.
You can customize settings for ALL indicators, Bollinger Bands (period and standard deviation), Keltner Channel (period and ATR multiplier) and ATR (period).
- AVAILABLE INDICATORS:
You can pick Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels for the strategy, the chosen indicator will be plotted as well.
- CUSTOM CONDITIONS TO ENTER A POSITION:
1. Price breaks the band (low below lower band for LONG or high above higher band for SHORT).
2. Same as 1 but THEN (next candle) price closes INSIDE the bands.
3. Price breaks the band AND CLOSES OUT of the band (lower band for LONG and higher band for SHORT).
4. Same as 3 but THEN (next candle) price closes INSIDE the bands.
- STOP LOSS OPTIONS:
1. Previous wick (low of previous candle if LONG and high or previous candle if SHORT).
2. Extended band, you can customize settings for a second indicator with larger values to use it as STOP LOSS, for example, Bollinger Bands with 2 standard deviations to open positions and 3 for STOP LOSS.
3. ATR: you can pick average true ratio from a source (like closing price) with a multiplier to calculate STOP LOSS.
- TAKE PROFIT OPTIONS:
1. Opposite band (top band for LONGs, bottom band for SHORTs).
2. Moving average: Bollinger Bands simple moving average or Keltner Channel exponential moving average .
3. ATR: you can pick average true ratio from a source (like closing price) with a multiplier to calculate TAKE PROFIT.
- OTHER OPTIONS:
You can pick to trade only LONGs, only SHORTs, both or none (just indicator).
You can enable DYNAMIC TAKE PROFIT, which updates TAKE PROFIT on each candle, for example, if you pick "opposite band" as TAKE PROFIT, it'll update the TAKE PROFIT based on that, on every single new candle.
- Visual:
Bands shown will depend on the chosen indicator and it's settings.
ATR is only printed if used as STOP LOSS and/or TAKE PROFIT.
- Recommendations:
Recommended on DAILY timeframe , it works better with Keltner Channels rather than Bollinger Bands .
- Customization:
As you can see, almost everything is customizable, for colors and plotting styles check the "Style" tab.

Dynamic Volatility EnvelopeDynamic Volatility Envelope: Indicator Overview
The Dynamic Volatility Envelope is an advanced, multi-faceted technical indicator designed to provide a comprehensive view of market trends, volatility, and potential future price movements. It centers around a customizable linear regression line, enveloped by dynamically adjusting volatility bands. The indicator offers rich visual feedback through gradient coloring, candle heatmaps, a background volatility pulse, and an on-chart trend strength meter.
Core Calculation Mechanism
Linear Regression Core :
-A central linear regression line is calculated based on a user-defined source (e.g., close, hl2) and lookback period.
-The regression line can be optionally smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to reduce noise.
-The slope of this regression line is continuously calculated to determine the current trend direction and strength.
Volatility Channel :
-Dynamic bands are plotted above and below a central basis line. This basis is typically the calculated regression line but shifts to an EMA in Keltner mode.
-The width of these bands is determined by market volatility, using one of three user-selectable modes:
ATR Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Standard Deviation Mode : Bandwidth is a multiple of the Standard Deviation of the source data.
Keltner Mode (EMA-based ATR) : ATR-based bands are plotted around a central Keltner EMA line, offering a smoother channel.
The channel helps identify dynamic support and resistance levels and assess market volatility.
Future Projection :
The indicator can project the current regression line and its associated volatility bands into the future for a user-defined number of bars. This provides a visual guide for potential future price pathways based on current trend and volatility characteristics.
Candle Heatmap Coloring :
-Candle bodies and/or wicks/borders can be colored based on the price's position within the upper and lower volatility bands.
-Colors transition in a gradient from bearish (when price is near the lower band) through neutral (mid-channel) to bullish (when price is near the upper band), providing an intuitive visual cue of price action relative to the dynamic envelope.
Background Volatility Pulse :
The chart background color can be set to dynamically shift based on a ratio of short-term to long-term ATR. This creates a "pulse" effect, where the background subtly changes color to indicate rising or falling market volatility.
Trend Strength Meter :
An on-chart text label displays the current trend status (e.g., "Strong Bullish", "Neutral", "Bearish") based on the calculated slope of the regression line relative to user-defined thresholds for normal and strong trends.
Key Features & Components
-Dynamic Linear Regression Line: Core trend indicator with optional smoothing and slope-based gradient coloring.
-Multi-Mode Volatility Channel: Choose between ATR, Standard Deviation, or Keltner (EMA-based ATR) calculations for band width.
-Customizable Vertical Gradient Channel Fills: Visually distinct fills for upper and lower channel segments with user-defined top/bottom colors and gradient spread.
-Future Projection: Extrapolates regression line and volatility bands to forecast potential price paths.
-Price-Action Based Candle Heatmap: Intuitive candle coloring based on position within the volatility channel, with adjustable gradient midpoint.
-Volatility-Reactive Background Gradient: Subtle background color shifts to reflect changes in market volatility.
-On-Chart Trend Strength Meter: Clear textual display of current trend direction and strength.
-Extensive Visual Customization: Fine-tune colors, line styles, widths, and gradient aggressiveness for most visual elements.
-Comprehensive Tooltips: Detailed explanations for every input setting, ensuring ease of use and understanding.
Visual Elements Explained
Regression Line : The primary trend line. Its color dynamically changes (e.g., green for uptrend, red-pink for downtrend, neutral for flat) based on its slope, with smooth gradient transitions.
Volatility Channel :
Upper & Lower Bands : These lines form the outer boundaries of the envelope, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Channel Fill : The area between the band center and the outer bands is filled with a vertical gradient. For example, the upper band fill might transition from a darker green near the center to a lighter green at the upper band.
Band Borders : The lines outlining the upper and lower bands, with customizable color and width.
Future Projection Lines & Fill :
Projected Regression Line : An extension of the current regression line into the future, typically styled differently (e.g., dashed).
Projected Channel Bands : Extensions of the upper and lower volatility bands.
Projected Area Fill : A semi-transparent fill between the projected upper and lower bands.
Candle Heatmap Coloring : When enabled, candles are colored based on their closing price's relative position within the channel. Bullish colors appear when price is in the upper part of the channel, bearish in the lower, and neutral in the middle. Users can choose to color the entire candle body or just the wicks and borders.
Background Volatility Pulse : The chart's background color subtly shifts (e.g., between a calm green and an agitated red-pink) to reflect the current volatility regime.
Trend Strength Meter : A text label (e.g., "TREND: STRONG BULLISH") positioned on the chart, providing an at-a-glance summary of the trend.
Configuration Options
Users can tailor the indicator extensively via the settings panel, with options logically grouped:
Core Analysis Engine : Adjust regression source data, lookback period, and EMA smoothing for the regression line.
Regression Line Visuals : Control visibility, line width, trend-based colors (uptrend, downtrend, flat), slope thresholds for trend definition, strong slope multiplier (for Trend Meter), and color gradient sharpness.
Volatility Channel Configuration : Select band calculation mode (ATR, StdDev, Keltner), set relevant periods and multipliers. Customize colors for vertical gradient fills (upper/lower, top/bottom), border line colors, widths, and the gradient spread factor for fills.
Future Projection Configuration : Toggle visibility, set projection length (number of bars), line style, and colors for projected regression and band areas.
Appearance & Candle Theme : Set default bull/bear candle colors, enable/disable candle heatmap, choose if body color matches heatmap, and configure heatmap gradient target colors (bull, neutral, bear) and the gradient's midpoint.
Background Volatility Pulse : Enable/disable the background effect and configure short/long ATR periods for the volatility calculation.
Trend Strength Meter : Enable/disable the meter, and choose its on-chart position and text size.
Interpretation Notes
-The Regression Line is the primary indicator of trend direction. Its slope and color provide immediate insight.
-The Volatility Bands serve as dynamic support and resistance zones. Price approaching or touching these bands may indicate potential turning points or breakouts. The width of the channel itself reflects market volatility – widening suggests increasing volatility, while narrowing suggests consolidation.
Future Projections are not predictions but rather an extension of current conditions. They can help visualize potential areas where price might interact with projected support/resistance if the current trend and volatility persist.
Candle Heatmap Coloring offers a quick visual assessment of where price is trading within the dynamic envelope, highlighting strength or weakness relative to the channel.
The Background Volatility Pulse gives a contextual feel for overall market agitation or calmness.
This indicator is designed to be a comprehensive analytical tool. Its signals and visualizations are best used in conjunction with other technical analysis techniques, price action study, and robust risk management practices. It is not intended as a standalone trading system.
