chanlun缠论 - 笔与中枢Overview
The Chanlun (缠论) Strokes & Central Zones indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool based on Chinese Chan Theory (Chanlun Theory). It automatically identifies market structure through "strokes" (笔) and "central hubs" (中枢), providing traders with a systematic framework for understanding price movements, trend structure, and potential reversal zones.
Theoretical Foundation
Chan Theory is a sophisticated price action methodology that breaks down market movements into hierarchical structures:
Local Extremes: Swing highs and lows identified through lookback periods
Strokes (笔): Valid price movements between opposite extremes that meet specific criteria
Central Hubs (中枢): Consolidation zones formed by overlapping strokes, representing key support/resistance areas
Key Components
1. Local Extreme Detection
Identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback period (default: 5 bars)
Only considers extremes within the specified calculation range
Forms the foundation for stroke construction
2. Stroke (笔) Identification
The indicator applies a multi-stage filtering process to identify valid strokes:
Stage 1 - Extreme Consolidation:
Merges consecutive extremes of the same type (high or low)
Keeps only the most extreme value (highest high or lowest low)
Stage 2 - Stroke Validation:
Ensures minimum bar gap between strokes (default: 4 bars)
Alternative validation: 2+ bars with >1% price change
Eliminates noise and insignificant price movements
Color Coding:
White Lines: Regular up/down strokes
Yellow Lines: Strokes that form part of a central hub
Customizable width and colors for different stroke types
3. Central Hub (中枢) Formation
A central hub forms when at least 3 consecutive strokes have overlapping price ranges:
Formation Rules:
Stroke 1:
Stroke 2:
Stroke 3:
Hub Upper = MIN(High1, High2, High3)
Hub Lower = MAX(Low1, Low2, Low3)
Valid if: Hub Upper > Hub Lower
Hub Extension:
Subsequent strokes that overlap with the hub extend it
Hub ends when a stroke no longer overlaps
Creates rectangular zones on the chart
Visual Representation:
Green rectangular boxes: Mark the time and price range of each central hub
Dashed extension lines: Show the latest hub boundaries extending to the right
Price labels on axis: Display exact hub upper and lower boundary values
4. Extreme Point Markers (Optional)
Red markers for tops (▼)
Green markers for bottoms (▲)
Marks every validated stroke extreme point
Useful for detailed structure analysis
5. Information Table (Optional)
Displays real-time statistics:

Trading Applications
Trend Structure Analysis
Uptrend: Series of higher highs and higher lows connected by strokes
Downtrend: Series of lower highs and lower lows connected by strokes
Consolidation: Formation of central hubs indicating range-bound movement
Support and Resistance Identification
Central Hub Zones: Act as strong support/resistance areas
Hub Upper Boundary: Resistance level in consolidation, support after breakout
Hub Lower Boundary: Support level in consolidation, resistance after breakdown
Price tends to react at these levels due to market structure memory
Breakout Trading
Bullish Breakout: Price closes above hub upper boundary
Previous resistance becomes support
Entry on retest of upper boundary
Stop loss below hub zone
Bearish Breakdown: Price closes below hub lower boundary
Previous support becomes resistance
Entry on retest of lower boundary
Stop loss above hub zone
Reversal Detection
Hub Formation After Trend: Signals potential trend exhaustion
Multiple Hub Levels: Create probability zones for reversals
Stroke Count: Excessive strokes within hub suggest weakening momentum
Position Management
Use hub boundaries for stop loss placement
Scale out positions at hub edges
Re-enter on retests of broken hub levels
Interpretation Guide
Strong Trending Market
Long, clear strokes with minimal overlap
Few or no central hubs forming
Strokes consistently in same direction
Wide spacing between extremes
Consolidating Market
Multiple central hubs forming
Short, overlapping strokes
Yellow hub strokes dominate the chart
Narrow price range
Trend Transition
Hub formation after extended trend
Stroke direction changes frequently
Hub boundaries being tested repeatedly
Potential reversal zone
Advanced Usage Techniques
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Higher Timeframe: Identify major hub zones for overall market structure
Lower Timeframe: Find precise entry points within larger structure
Alignment: Trade when lower timeframe strokes align with higher timeframe hub breaks
Hub Quality Assessment
Wide Hubs: Strong consolidation, higher probability support/resistance
Narrow Hubs: Weak consolidation, may break easily
Extended Hubs: More strokes = stronger zone
Isolated Hubs: Single hub = potential pivot point
Stroke Analysis
Stroke Length: Longer strokes = stronger momentum
Stroke Speed: Fewer bars per stroke = explosive moves
Stroke Clustering: Many short strokes = indecision
Best Practices
Parameter Optimization
Adjust lookback period based on timeframe and volatility
Lower periods (3-4): More strokes, more noise, faster signals
Higher periods (7-10): Fewer strokes, cleaner structure, slower signals
Confirmation Strategy
Don't trade on strokes alone
Combine with volume analysis
Use candlestick patterns at hub boundaries
Wait for breakout confirmation
Risk Management
Always place stops outside hub zones
Use hub width to size positions (wider hub = smaller position)
Exit if price re-enters broken hub from wrong direction
Avoid Common Pitfalls
Don't trade within central hubs (range-bound, unpredictable)
Don't ignore higher timeframe hub structures
Don't chase strokes after they've extended far from hub
Don't trust single-stroke hubs (need 3+ strokes for validity)
Performance Considerations
Max Bars Limit: Set to 3600 to balance detail with performance
Safe Distance Calculation: Only draws objects within 2000 bars of current price
Object Cleanup: Automatically removes old drawing objects to prevent memory issues
Efficient Arrays: Uses indexed arrays for fast lookup and processing
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance:
Liquid markets with clear structure (major forex pairs, indices, large-cap stocks)
Trending markets with periodic consolidations
Medium to high volatility for clear stroke formation
Less Effective:
Extremely choppy, directionless markets
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) with excessive noise
Illiquid instruments with erratic price action
Integration with Other Indicators
Complementary Tools:

ZenAlgo - ADXThis open-source indicator builds upon the official Average Directional Index (ADX) implementation by TradingView. It preserves the core logic of the original ADX while introducing additional visualization features, configurability, and analytical overlays to assist with directional strength analysis.
Core Calculation
The script computes the ADX, +DI, and -DI based on smoothed directional movement and true range over a user-defined length. The smoothing is performed using Wilder’s method, as in the original implementation.
True Range is calculated from the current high, low, and previous close.
Directional Movement components (+DM, -DM) are derived by comparing the change in highs and lows between consecutive bars.
These values are then smoothed, and the +DI and -DI are expressed as percentages of the smoothed True Range.
The difference between +DI and -DI is normalized to derive DX, which is further smoothed to yield the ADX value.
The indicator includes a selectable signal line (SMA or EMA) applied to the ADX for crossover-based visualization.
Visualization Enhancements
Several plots and conditions have been added to improve interpretability:
Color-coded histograms and lines visualize DI relative to a configurable threshold (default: 25). Colors follow the ZenAlgo color scheme.
Dynamic opacity and gradient coloring are used for both ADX and DI components, allowing users to distinguish weak/moderate/strong directional trends visually.
Mirrored ADX is internally calculated for certain overlays but not directly plotted.
The script also provides small circles and diamonds to highlight:
Crossovers between ADX and its signal line.
DI crossing above or below the 25 threshold.
Rising ADX confirmed by rising DI values, with point size reflecting ADX strength.
Divergence Detection
The indicator includes optional detection of fractal-based divergences on the DI curve:
Regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences are identified based on relative fractal highs/lows in both price and DI.
Detected divergences are optionally labeled with 'R' (Regular) or 'H' (Hidden), and color-coded accordingly.
Fractal points are defined using 5-bar patterns to ensure consistency and reduce false positives.
ADX/DI Table
When enabled, a floating table displays live values and summaries:
ADX value , trend direction (rising/falling), and qualitative strength.
DI composite , trend direction, and relative strength.
Contextual power dynamics , describing whether bulls or bears are gaining or losing strength.
The background colors of the table reflect current trend strength and direction.
Interpretation Guidelines
ADX indicates the strength of a trend, regardless of its direction. Values below 20 are often considered weak, while those above 40 suggest strong trending conditions.
+DI and -DI represent bullish and bearish directional movements, respectively. Crossovers between them are used to infer trend direction.
When ADX is rising and either +DI or -DI is dominant and increasing, the trend is likely strengthening.
Divergences between DI and price may suggest potential reversals but should be interpreted cautiously and not in isolation.
The threshold line (default 25) provides a basic filter for ignoring low-strength conditions. This can be adjusted depending on the market or timeframe.
Added Value over Existing Indicators
Fully color-graded ADX and DI display for better visual clarity.
Optional signal MA over ADX with crossover markers.
Rich contextual labeling for both divergence and threshold events.
Power dynamics commentary and live table help users contextualize current momentum.
Customizable options for smoothing type, divergence display, table position, and visual offsets.
These additions aim to improve situational awareness without altering the fundamental meaning of ADX/DI values.
Limitations and Disclaimers
As with any ADX-based tool, this indicator does not indicate market direction alone —it measures strength, not trend bias.
Divergence detection relies on fractal patterns and may lag or produce false positives in sideways markets.
Signal MA crossovers and DI threshold breaks are not entry signals , but contextual markers that may assist with timing or filtering other systems.
The table text and labels are for visual assistance and do not replace proper technical analysis or market context.
RMSD Trend [InvestorUnknown]RMSD Trend is a trend-following indicator that utilizes Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) to dynamically construct a volatility-weighted trend channel around a selected moving average. This indicator is designed to enhance signal clarity, minimize noise, and offer quantitative insights into market momentum, ideal for both discretionary and systematic traders.
How It Works
At its core, RMSD Trend calculates a deviation band around a selected moving average using the Root Mean Square Deviation (similar to standard deviation but with squared errors), capturing the magnitude of price dispersion over a user-defined period. The logic is simple:
When price crosses above the upper deviation band, the market is considered bullish (Risk-ON Long).
When price crosses below the lower deviation band, the market is considered bearish (Risk-ON Short).
If price stays within the band, the market is interpreted as neutral or ranging, offering low-risk decision zones.
The indicator also generates trend flips (Long/Short) based on crossovers and crossunders of the price and the RMSD bands, and colors candles accordingly for enhanced visual feedback.
Features
7 Moving Average Types: Choose between SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, and FRAMA for flexibility.
Customizable Source Input: Use price types like close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.
Volatility-Aware Channel: Adjustable RMSD multiplier determines band width based on volatility.
Smart Coloring: Candles and bands adapt their colors to reflect trend direction (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Intra-bar Repainting Toggle: Option to allow more responsive but repaintable signals.
Speculation Fill Zones: When price exceeds the deviation channel, a semi-transparent fill highlights potential momentum surges.
Backtest Mode
Switching to Backtest Mode unlocks a robust suite of simulation features:
Built-in Equity Curve: Visualizes both strategy equity and Buy & Hold performance.
Trade Metrics Table: Displays the number of trades, win rates, gross profits/losses, and long/short breakdowns.
Performance Metrics Table: Includes key stats like CAGR, drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and more.
Custom Date Range: Set a custom start date for your backtest.
Trade Sizing: Simulate results using position sizing and initial capital settings.
Signal Filters: Choose between Long & Short, Long Only, or Short Only strategies.
Alerts
The RMSD Trend includes six built-in alert conditions:
LONG (RMSD Trend) - Trend flips from Short to Long
SHORT (RMSD Trend) - Trend flips from Long to Short
RISK-ON LONG (RMSD Trend) - Price crosses above upper RMSD band
RISK-OFF LONG (RMSD Trend) - Price falls back below upper RMSD band
RISK-ON SHORT (RMSD Trend) - Price crosses below lower RMSD band
RISK-OFF SHORT (RMSD Trend) - Price rises back above lower RMSD band
Use Cases
Trend Confirmation: Confirms directional bias with RMSD-weighted confidence zones.
Breakout Detection: Highlights moments when price breaks free from historical volatility norms.
Mean Reversion Filtering: Avoids false signals by incorporating RMSD’s volatility sensitivity.
Strategy Development: Backtest your signals or integrate with a broader system for alpha generation.
Settings Summary
Display Mode: Overlay (default) or Backtest Mode
Average Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, etc.
Average Length: Lookback window for moving average
RMSD Multiplier: Band width control based on RMS deviation
Source: Input price source (close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.)
Intra-bar Updating: Real-time updates (may repaint)
Color Bars: Toggle bar coloring by trend direction

Standard Deviation (fadi)The Standard Deviation indicator uses standard deviation to map out price movements. Standard deviation measures how much prices stray from their average—small values mean steady trends, large ones mean wild swings. Drawing from up to 20 years of data, it plots key levels using customizable Fibonacci lines tied to that standard deviation, giving traders a snapshot of typical price behavior.
These levels align with a bell curve: about 68% of price moves stay within 1 standard deviation, 95% within roughly 2, and 99.7% within roughly 3. When prices break past the 1 StDev line, they’re outliers—only 32% of moves go that far. Prices often snap back to these lines or the average, though the reversal might not happen the same day.
How Traders Use It
If prices surge past the 1 StDev line, traders might wait for momentum to fade, then trade the pullback to that line or the average, setting a target and stop.
If prices dip below, they might buy, anticipating a bounce—sometimes a day or two later. It’s a tool to spot overstretched prices likely to revert and/or measure the odds of continuation.
Settings

Overrides: Lets advanced users input custom standard deviations for specific tickers (e.g., NQ1! at 0.01296).
Correlation AnalysisAs the name suggests, this indicator is a market correlation analysis tool.
It contains two main features:
- The Curve: represents the historic correlation coefficient between the current chart and the “Reference Market” input from the settings menu. It aims to give more depth to the current correlation values found in the second feature.
- The Screener: this second feature displays all correlation coefficient values between the (max) 20 markets inputs. You can use it to create several screeners for several market types (crypto, forex, metals, etc.) or even replicate your current portfolio of investments and gauge the correlation of its components.
Aside from these two previous features, you can visually plot the variation rate from one bar to another along with the covariance coefficient (both used in the correlation calculation). Finally, a simple “signal” moving average can be applied to the correlation coefficient .
I might add alerts to this script or even turn it into a strategy to do some backtesting. Do not hesitate to contact me or comment below if this is something you would be interested in or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

VHF Adaptive Linear Regression KAMAIntroduction
Heyo, in this indicator I decided to add VHF adaptivness, linear regression and smoothing to a KAMA in order to squeeze all out of it.
KAMA:
Developed by Perry Kaufman, Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a moving average designed to account for market noise or volatility. KAMA will closely follow prices when the price swings are relatively small and the noise is low. KAMA will adjust when the price swings widen and follow prices from a greater distance. This trend-following indicator can be used to identify the overall trend, time turning points and filter price movements.
VHF:
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets. VHF measures the level of trend activity, similar to ADX DI. Vertical Horizontal Filter does not, itself, generate trading signals, but determines whether signals are taken from trend or momentum indicators. Using this trend information, one is then able to derive an average cycle length.
Linear Regression Curve:
A line that best fits the prices specified over a user-defined time period.
This is very good to eliminate bad crosses of KAMA and the pric.
Usage
You can use this indicator on every timeframe I think. I mostly tested it on 1 min, 5 min and 15 min.
Signals
Enter Long -> crossover(close, kama) and crossover(kama, kama )
Enter Short -> crossunder(close, kama) and crossunder(kama, kama )
Thanks for checking this out!

Power Law S/RBerger's article on the Power Law Model for Bitcoin is a compelling read and gives the best evidence so far of the diminishing case for retracing below $3000, of a slowing market on a log-log plot, and reducing but continued volatility.
After seeing it acts as support routinely in the last 10 years, I put together a quick little script that plots his midline curve for Bitcoin. You can change the intercept and slope but will need to do your own calculations for other curves.
I hope you all like it.

MA Multi-Timeframe [ChartPrime]The MA Multi-Timeframe indicator is designed to provide multi-timeframe moving averages (MAs) for better trend analysis across different periods. This tool allows traders to monitor up to four different MAs on a single chart, each coming from a selectable timeframe and type (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA). The indicator helps traders gauge both short-term and long-term price trends, allowing for a clearer understanding of market dynamics.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages :
The indicator allows traders to select up to four MAs, each from different timeframes. These timeframes can be set in the input settings (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly), and each moving average can be displayed with its corresponding timeframe label directly on the chart.
Example of different timeframes for MAs:
⯌ Moving Average Types :
Users can choose from several types of moving averages, including SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, and VWMA, making the indicator adaptable to different strategies and market conditions. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the MAs to their preference.
Example of different types of MAs:
⯌ Dashboard Display :
The indicator includes a built-in dashboard that shows each MA, its timeframe, and whether the price is currently above or below that MA. This dashboard provides a quick overview of the trend across different timeframes, allowing traders to determine whether the overall trend is up or down.
Example of trend overview via the dashboard:
⯌ Polyline Representation :
Each MA is plotted using polylines to avoid plot functions and create a curves across up to 4000 bars back, ensuring that historical data is visualized clearly for a deeper analysis of how the price interacts with these levels over time.

D-Shape Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The D-Shape Breakout Signals indicator uses a unique and novel technique to provide support/resistance curves, a trailing stop loss line, and visual breakout signals from semi-circular shapes.
🔶 USAGE
D-shape is a new concept where the distance between two Swing points is used to create a semi-circle/arc, where the width is expressed as a user-defined percentage of the radius. The resulting arc can be used as a potential support/resistance as well as a source of breakouts.
Users can adjust this percentage (width of the D-shape) in the settings ( "D-Width" ), which will influence breakouts and the Stop-Loss line.
🔹 Breakouts of D-Shape
The arc of this D-shape is used for detecting breakout signals between the price and the curve. Only one breakout per D-shape can occur.
A breakout is highlighted with a colored dot, signifying its location, with a green dot being used when the top part of the arc is exceeded, and red when the bottom part of the arc is surpassed.
When the price reaches the right side of the arc without breaking the arc top/bottom, a blue-colored dot is highlighted, signaling a "Neutral Breakout".
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss Line
The script includes a Trailing Stop-Loss line (TSL), which is only updated when a breakout of the D-Shape occurs. The TSL will return the midline of the D-Shape subject to a breakout.
The TSL can be used as a stop-loss or entry-level but can also act as a potential support/resistance level or trend visualization.
🔶 DETAILS
A D-shape will initially be colored green when a Swing Low is followed by a Swing High, and red when a Swing Low is followed by a Swing High.
A breakout of the upper side of the D-shape will always update the color to green or to red when the breakout occurs in the lower part. A Neutral Breakout will result in a blue-colored D-shape. The transparency is lowered in the event of a breakout.
In the event of a D-shape breakout, the shape will be removed when the total number of visible D-Shapes exceeds the user set "Minimum Patterns" setting. Any D-shape whose boundaries have not been exceeded (and therefore still active) will remain visible.
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss Line
Only when a breakout occurs will the midline of the D-shape closest to the closing price potentially become the new Trailing Stop value.
The script will only consider middle lines below the closing price on an upward breakout or middle lines above the closing price when it concerns a downward breakout.
In an uptrend, with an already available green TSL, the potential new Stop-Loss value must be higher than the previous TSL value; while in a downtrend, the new TSL value must be lower.
The Stop-Loss line won't be updated when a "Neutral Breakout" occurs.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 D-Patterns
Minimum Patterns: Minimum amount of visible D-Shape patterns.
D-Width: Width of the D-Shape as a percentage of the distance between both Swing Points.
Included Swings: Include "Swing High" (followed by a Swing Low), "Swing Low" (followed by a Swing High), or "Both"
Style Historical Patterns: Show the "Arc", "Midline" or "Both" of historical patterns.
🔹 Style
Label Size/Colors
Connecting Swing Level: Shows a line connecting the first Swing Point.
Color Fill: colorfill of Trailing Stop-Loss
Savitzky-Golay Smoothing FilterThe Savitzky-Golay Filter is a polynomial smoothing filter.
This version implements 3rd degree polynomials using coefficients from Savitzky and Golay's table, specifically the coefficients for a 5-, 7-, 9-, 15- and 25-point window moving averages.
The filters are offset to the left by the number of coefficients (n-1)/2 so it smooths on top of the actual curve.
You can turn off some of the smoothing curves, as it can get cluttered displaying all at once.
Any feedback is very welcome.

🎯 Indicator Tracking
Default indicators such as RSI, MFI, and OBV are included, alongside the ability to track one external indicator at each Zigzag pivot.
🎯 Customizable Alerts
Our indicator employs the `alert()` function for alert creation. While this means the absence of a customization text box in the alert settings, we've included a custom text area for users to create their own alert templates.
Template placeholders include:
{alertType} - type of alert. Either Confirmed Pivot Update or Last Pivot Update. Depends on the alert type selected in the inputs.
When Last Pivot Update type is selected, the alerts are triggered whenever there is a new Zigzag Pivot. This may also be a repaint of last unconfirmed pivot.
When Confirmed Pivot Update type is selected, the alerts are triggered only when a pivot becomes a confirmed pivot.
{level} - Zigzag level on which the alert is triggered.
{pivot} - Details of the last pivot or confirmed pivot including price, ratio, indicator values and ratios, subcomponent and micro-component pivots.

KernelFunctionsLibrary "KernelFunctions"
This library provides non-repainting kernel functions for Nadaraya-Watson estimator implementations. This allows for easy substition/comparison of different kernel functions for one another in indicators. Furthermore, kernels can easily be combined with other kernels to create newer, more customized kernels.
rationalQuadratic(_src, _lookback, _relativeWeight, startAtBar)
Rational Quadratic Kernel - An infinite sum of Gaussian Kernels of different length scales.
Parameters:
_src (float) : The source series.
_lookback (simple int) : The number of bars used for the estimation. This is a sliding value that represents the most recent historical bars.
_relativeWeight (simple float) : Relative weighting of time frames. Smaller values resut in a more stretched out curve and larger values will result in a more wiggly curve. As this value approaches zero, the longer time frames will exert more influence on the estimation. As this value approaches infinity, the behavior of the Rational Quadratic Kernel will become identical to the Gaussian kernel.
startAtBar (simple int)
Returns: yhat The estimated values according to the Rational Quadratic Kernel.
gaussian(_src, _lookback, startAtBar)
Gaussian Kernel - A weighted average of the source series. The weights are determined by the Radial Basis Function (RBF).
Parameters:
_src (float) : The source series.
_lookback (simple int) : The number of bars used for the estimation. This is a sliding value that represents the most recent historical bars.
startAtBar (simple int)
Returns: yhat The estimated values according to the Gaussian Kernel.
periodic(_src, _lookback, _period, startAtBar)
Periodic Kernel - The periodic kernel (derived by David Mackay) allows one to model functions which repeat themselves exactly.
Parameters:
_src (float) : The source series.
_lookback (simple int) : The number of bars used for the estimation. This is a sliding value that represents the most recent historical bars.
_period (simple int) : The distance between repititions of the function.
startAtBar (simple int)
Returns: yhat The estimated values according to the Periodic Kernel.
locallyPeriodic(_src, _lookback, _period, startAtBar)
Locally Periodic Kernel - The locally periodic kernel is a periodic function that slowly varies with time. It is the product of the Periodic Kernel and the Gaussian Kernel.
Parameters:
_src (float) : The source series.
_lookback (simple int) : The number of bars used for the estimation. This is a sliding value that represents the most recent historical bars.
_period (simple int) : The distance between repititions of the function.
startAtBar (simple int)
Returns: yhat The estimated values according to the Locally Periodic Kernel.
Ellipse Price Action Indicator v2 (Upgraded)
This upgraded Ellipse Price Action Indicator (EPAI v2) to take high-accuracy trades.
I am explaining it as if you are looking at the chart step by step, so you will understand exactly:
-When to buy
-When to
-When to avoid
-How to read Strength Meter
-How Ellipse zones work
⭐ 1. THE BASICS — What This Indicator Actually Does
This indicator tracks:
✔ The “Elliptical Path” of price
Like a planet revolving around the Sun, price “oscillates” around a center.
The indicator detects this hidden mathematical path using:
Two Focus Points (Fast MA & Slow MA)
Curved Ellipse boundaries
Compression of price
Momentum of trend
Breakout zones
⭐ 2. UNDERSTANDING THE 3 ZONES
🔴 UPPER ZONE = Sell Zone
Price is near the upper ellipse boundary → overbought space.
🟢 LOWER ZONE = Buy Zone
Price near lower ellipse boundary → oversold space.
🔵 CENTRAL ZONE = No Trade Zone
Price swinging inside the ellipse center → noise.
Only trade in UPPER or LOWER zones.
Never in the central zone.
⭐ 3. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART — Strength Meter v2
Strength Meter v2 (0 to 100%) is the core filter.
✔ Above 70% → High winning probability (take trade)
✔ 60–70% → Medium probability (trade if confident)
❌ Below 60% → Avoid trade
Strength combines:
Ellipse compression
Momentum slope
Price position curve
Eccentricity
Trend direction
This alone removes 70% bad trades.
⭐ 4. BUY SETUP (Exact Rules)
You get a BUY only if all conditions match:
① Price goes to lower ellipse zone
② Compression is ON (ellipse is tight)
③ Momentum slope direction = UP
④ Focus Lines Cross Bullish (Fast > Slow)
⑤ Strength v2 ≥ your threshold (default 60%)
⑥ A BUY signal prints (triangle UP)
When these align →
🟢 BUY with high accuracy
Best Accuracy Buy is:
Price in lower zone
Strength ≥ 0.75
Slope UP
Ellipse compressed
⭐ 5. SELL SETUP (Exact Rules)
Same logic reversed:
① Price in upper ellipse zone
② Compression ON
③ Momentum slope DOWN
④ Focus Lines cross bearish (Fast < Slow)
⑤ Strength v2 ≥ threshold
⑥ SELL signal prints (triangle DOWN)
This means:
🔴 SELL with high accuracy
Best Accuracy Sell is:
Price in upper zone
Strength ≥ 0.75
Slope DOWN
Ellipse compressed
⭐ 6. BREAKOUT TRADES (Optional but powerful)
When price breaks above/below ellipse:
🔸 Upper Breakout → SELL (if strength strong)
🔸 Lower Breakout → BUY (if strength strong)
Breakout signals are marked by orange arrows.
Breakouts are taken only if:
Strength v2 > 50%
Slope supports breakout
Compression exists before breakout
Breakout trades catch trend continuation.
⭐ 7. HOW TO CONFIRM A STRONG TRADE
Look at the table on the chart:
✔ Strength v2 ≥ 70% (GREEN)
✔ Compression = GREEN
✔ Slope direction = UP (for buy) or DOWN (for sell)
✔ Zone = LOWER or UPPER
✔ Eccentricity = LOW (<0.5 means smooth trend)
If these line up →
⭐ High-probability entry.
⭐ 8. WHEN YOU SHOULD NOT TRADE
❌ If price is in Central Zone
❌ Strength < 60
❌ No compression detected
❌ Slope is flat or against direction
❌ Only one condition is matching
❌ Eccentricity is too large
(Big ellipse = unpredictable swings)
⭐ 9. What Is the Accuracy Level?
In trending markets → 75% to 85% accuracy
In ranging markets → 50% (use compression filter to avoid)
The indicator is designed to avoid bad market conditions automatically.
⭐ 10. BEST TIMEFRAMES
✔ 5m, 15m, 1H → Intraday
✔ 4H, 1D → Swing Trading
✔ NOT recommended below 1m timeframe
⭐ SUMMARY (EASY VERSION)
🟢 BUY:
Lower zone + compression + bullish slope + strong focus cross + strength ≥ 60
🔴 SELL:
Upper zone + compression + bearish slope + strong focus cross + strength ≥ 60
🟠 Breakout:
Upper/lower breakout + strength ≥ 50
🔵 Avoid:
Central zone or weak strength
Log Regression Channel (Dezza Fixed v2)This custom indicator builds a curved Logarithmic Regression Channel designed for long-term Bitcoin and macro asset analysis. It performs a linear regression on the logarithm of price to estimate the market’s fair-value growth curve, then converts that back into price space to form upper and lower deviation bands.
It helps identify where price sits relative to its long-term exponential trend — showing potential overvaluation (upper band) or undervaluation (lower band) zones.
Best used on weekly or monthly charts to visualise market cycles and fair-value reversion. Adjustable inputs let you control lookback length, band width, and midline visibility.

Volume Weighted Linear Regression BandThe Volume-Weighted Linear Regression Band (VWLRBd) is a volatility channel that uses a Linear Regression line as its dynamic baseline. Its primary feature is the decomposition of total volatility into two distinct components, visualized as layered bands.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): The indicator functions as a standard (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression Channel. It plots a single set of bands based on the standard deviation of the residuals (the error between the Source price and the regression line).
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used for the regression). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'residual' (trend noise) volatility, calculated proportionally.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of residual and within-bar components).
Regression Baseline (Linear / Exponential): The central line is a (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression curve. An optional 'Normalize' mode performs all calculations in logarithmic space, transforming the baseline into an Exponential Regression Curve and the bands into constant percentage deviations, suitable for analyzing growth assets.
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the regression baseline and the volatility decomposition, giving more influence to high-participation bars.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central regression line and the outermost calculated volatility band.

Quantum Flux Universal Strategy Summary in one paragraph
Quantum Flux Universal is a regime switching strategy for stocks, ETFs, index futures, major FX pairs, and liquid crypto on intraday and swing timeframes. It helps you act only when the normalized core signal and its guide agree on direction. It is original because the engine fuses three adaptive drivers into the smoothing gains itself. Directional intensity is measured with binary entropy, path efficiency shapes trend quality, and a volatility squash preserves contrast. Add it to a clean chart, watch the polarity lane and background, and trade from positive or negative alignment. For conservative workflows use on bar close in the alert settings when you add alerts in a later version.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap equities and ETFs. Index futures. Major FX pairs. Liquid crypto
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Default demo used in the publication. QQQ on one hour
• Purpose. Provide a robust and portable way to detect when momentum and confirmation align, while dampening chop and preserving turns
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The novelty sits in the gain map. Instead of gating separate indicators, the model mixes three drivers into the adaptive gains that power two one pole filters. Directional entropy measures how one sided recent movement has been. Kaufman style path efficiency scores how direct the path has been. A volatility squash stabilizes step size. The drivers are blended into the gains with visible inputs for strength, windows, and clamps.
• What failure mode it addresses. False starts in chop and whipsaw after fast spikes. Efficiency and the squash reduce over reaction in noise.
• Testability. Every component has an input. You can lengthen or shorten each window and change the normalization mode. The polarity plot and background provide a direct readout of state.
• Portable yardstick. The core is normalized with three options. Z score, percent rank mapped to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z score. Clamp bounds define the effective unit so context transfers across symbols.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy computes two smoothed tracks from the chart price source. The fast track and the slow track use gains that are not fixed. Each gain is modulated by three drivers. A driver for directional intensity, a driver for path efficiency, and a driver for volatility. The difference between the fast and the slow tracks forms the raw flux. A small phase assist reduces lag by subtracting a portion of the delayed value. The flux is then normalized. A guide line is an EMA of a small lead on the flux. When the flux and its guide are both above zero, the polarity is positive. When both are below zero, the polarity is negative. Polarity changes create the trade direction.
Base measures
• Return basis. The step is the change in the chosen price source. Its absolute value feeds the volatility estimate. Mean absolute step over the window gives a stable scale.
• Efficiency basis. The ratio of net move to the sum of absolute step over the window gives a value between zero and one. High values mean trend quality. Low values mean chop.
• Intensity basis. The fraction of up moves over the window plugs into binary entropy. Intensity is one minus entropy, which maps to zero in uncertainty and one in very one sided moves.
Components
• Directional Intensity. Measures how one sided recent bars have been. Smoothed with RMA. More intensity increases the gain and makes the fast and slow tracks react sooner.
• Path Efficiency. Measures the straightness of the price path. A gamma input shapes the curve so you can make trend quality count more or less. Higher efficiency lifts the gain in clean trends.
• Volatility Squash. Normalizes the absolute step with Z score then pushes it through an arctangent squash. This caps the effect of spikes so they do not dominate the response.
• Normalizer. Three modes. Z score for familiar units, percent rank for a robust monotone map to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z for outlier resistance.
• Guide Line. EMA of the flux with a small lead term that counteracts lag without heavy overshoot.
Fusion rule
• Weighted sum of the three drivers with fixed weights visible in the code comments. Intensity has fifty percent weight. Efficiency thirty percent. Volatility twenty percent.
• The blend power input scales the driver mix. Zero means fixed spans. One means full driver control.
• Minimum and maximum gain clamps bound the adaptive gain. This protects stability in quiet or violent regimes.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when flux and guide are both above zero. That sets polarity to plus one.
• Short suggestion appears when flux and guide are both below zero. That sets polarity to minus one.
• When polarity flips from plus to minus, the strategy closes any long and enters a short.
• When flux crosses above the guide, the strategy closes any short.
What you will see on the chart
• White polarity plot around the zero line
• A dotted reference line at zero named Zen
• Green background tint for positive polarity and red background tint for negative polarity
• Strategy long and short markers placed by the TradingView engine at entry and at close conditions
• No table in this version to keep the visual clean and portable
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Price source. Default ohlc4. Stable for noisy symbols.
• Fast span. Typical range 6 to 24. Raising it slows the fast track and can reduce churn. Lowering it makes entries more reactive.
• Slow span. Typical range 20 to 60. Raising it lengthens the baseline horizon. Lowering it brings the slow track closer to price.
Logic
• Guide span. Typical range 4 to 12. A small guide smooths without eating turns.
• Blend power. Typical range 0.25 to 0.85. Raising it lets the drivers modulate gains more. Lowering it pushes behavior toward fixed EMA style smoothing.
• Vol window. Typical range 20 to 80. Larger values calm the volatility driver. Smaller values adapt faster in intraday work.
• Efficiency window. Typical range 10 to 60. Larger values focus on smoother trends. Smaller values react faster but accept more noise.
• Efficiency gamma. Typical range 0.8 to 2.0. Above one increases contrast between clean trends and chop. Below one flattens the curve.
• Min alpha multiplier. Typical range 0.30 to 0.80. Lower values increase smoothing when the mix is weak.
• Max alpha multiplier. Typical range 1.2 to 3.0. Higher values shorten smoothing when the mix is strong.
• Normalization window. Typical range 100 to 300. Larger values reduce drift in the baseline.
• Normalization mode. Z score, percent rank, or MAD Z. Use MAD Z for outlier heavy symbols.
• Clamp level. Typical range 2.0 to 4.0. Lower clamps reduce the influence of extreme runs.
Filters
• Efficiency filter is implicit in the gain map. Raising efficiency gamma and the efficiency window increases the preference for clean trends.
• Micro versus macro relation is handled by the fast and slow spans. Increase separation for swing, reduce for scalping.
• Location filter is not included in v1.0. If you need distance gates from a reference such as VWAP or a moving mean, add them before publication of a new version.
Alerts
• This version does not include alertcondition lines to keep the core minimal. If you prefer alerts, add names Long Polarity Up, Short Polarity Down, Exit Short on Flux Cross Up in a later version and select on bar close for conservative workflows.
Strategy has been currently adapted for the QQQ asset with 30/60min timeframe.

Sweep2Trade Pro [CHE]Sweep2Trade Pro \ — Liquidity Sweep → Trend → Confirmation
Sweep2Trade Pro \ helps you catch high-probability reversals or continuations that start with a liquidity sweep, align with the T3 trend, and finalize with a structure confirmation (BOS). It’s designed to reduce noise, time your entries, and keep you out of weak, chop-driven signals.
What’s a “sweep”?
A liquidity sweep happens when price briefly breaks a prior swing high/low (where many stops sit), triggers those stops, and then snaps back. This “stop-hunt” creates liquidity for bigger players and often precedes a sharp move in the opposite direction if the break fails, or fuels continuation if structure actually shifts.
What’s a BOS (Break of Structure)?
A BOS is a price action event where the market takes out a recent swing level in the trend’s direction, signaling continuation and confirming that structure has shifted (bullish BOS through a recent swing high, bearish BOS through a recent swing low).
How the indicator works (at a glance)
1. Regime Filter (T3 + R²)
T3 Moving Average: A smoother, faster-responding moving average that aims to reduce lag while filtering noise, so trend direction changes are clearer.
R² (Coefficient of Determination): Measures how “linear” the recent price path is (0→1). Higher values = stronger, cleaner trend; lower values = more chop. Used here to allow trades only when trend quality exceeds a user-set threshold.
2. Sweep Detection
Bullish sweep: price pokes below a prior swing low and closes back above it.
Bearish sweep: price pokes above a prior swing high and closes back below it.
Lookback length is configurable.
3. Sequence Lock (built-in FSM)
The script manages state in phases so you don’t jump the gun:
Phase 1: Sweep detected → wait for T3 to turn in the corresponding direction.
Phase 2: T3 direction confirmed → show “SWEEP OK” and wait for final confirmation.
Trade Signal: Only fires if confirmation arrives before a timeout.
4. Confirmation Layer
BOS via wick or close (you choose),
Strong close toward the signal (top/bottom quartile of the candle),
Optional “close above/below T3” condition.
These checks help avoid weak sweeps that immediately fade.
5. Alerts & Visuals
“SWEEP OK” markers show when the sweep + T3 direction align.
Final BUY/SELL arrows appear only when the confirmation layer passes.
Ready-made alert conditions for automation.
What you can do with it
Time reversals after sweeps: Enter when a stop-hunt fades and structure confirms.
Ride continuations: Use BOS with the T3 trend to pyramid or re-enter with structure on your side.
Filter chop: Let R² gate entries to periods with cleaner directional drift.
Automate: Use the included alerts with your platform or webhook setup.
Inputs (key settings)
Regime Filter
T3 Length / Volume Factor: Controls smoothness and responsiveness. Smaller length → faster, more sensitive; higher volume factor → smoother curve.
R² Lookback & Threshold: Length of the linear fit window and the minimum “trend quality” required. Higher thresholds mean fewer, cleaner signals.
Sweep / Sequence
Swing Lookback: How far back to define the “reference” high/low for sweeps.
Timeout: Maximum bars allowed between phases to keep signals fresh.
Restart timeout on Phase 2: Optional safety so entries don’t go stale.
Confirmation
BOS Lookback: Micro-pivot window for structure breaks.
Wick vs Close BOS: Conservative traders may prefer close.
Require close above/below T3: Tightens confirmation with trend alignment.
Practical guide (quick start)
1. Timeframe & markets: Works across majors, indices, and crypto. Start with 5m–1h intraday or 1h–4h swing; adjust R² threshold upward on noisier pairs.
2. Entry recipe (Long):
Bullish sweep of a prior low → T3 turns up → BOS/strong close.
Optional: enable “close above T3” for extra confirmation.
3. Entry recipe (Short): Mirror the above.
4. Stops: Common choices are just beyond the sweep wick (tighter) or past the BOS invalidation (safer).
5. Targets: Previous structural levels, measured move, or a T3 trail (exit when price closes back through T3).
6. Avoid low-quality contexts: If R² is very low, market is likely ranging erratically—skip or widen filters.
Tips & best practices
Context first: The same sweep means different things in a strong trend vs. flat regime; that’s why the T3+R² filter exists.
BOS choice: Wick-based BOS is earlier but noisier; close-based BOS is slower but cleaner. Tune per market.
Backtest -> Forward test: Validate settings per symbol/timeframe; then paper trade before going live.
Risk: Fixed fractional risk with asymmetric R\:R (e.g., 1:1.5–1:3) generally performs better than “all-in” discretionary sizing.
Behind the scenes (for the curious)
T3 is a multi-stage EMA construction that produces a smooth curve with reduced lag versus simple/standard EMAs.
R² is the square of correlation (0–1). Here it’s used as a moving gauge of how well price aligns to a linear path—our “trend quality” dial.
Stop-hunts / sweeps are a recognized microstructure phenomenon where clustered stops provide the liquidity that fuels the next move.

Transfer Function Filter [theUltimator5]The Transfer Function Filter is an engineering style approach to transform the price action on a chart into a frequency, then filter out unwanted signals using Butterworth-style filter approach.
This indicator allows you to analyze market structure by isolating or removing different frequency components of price movement—similar to how engineers filter signals in control systems and electrical circuits.
🔎 Features
Four Filter Types
1) Low Pass Filter – Smooths price data, highlighting long-term trends while filtering out short-term noise. This filter acts similar to an EMA, removing noisy signals, resulting in a smooth curve that follows the price of the stock relative to the filter cutoff settings.
Real world application for low pass filter - Used in power supplies to provide a clean, stable power level.
2) High Pass Filter – Removes slow-moving trends to emphasize short-term volatility and rapid fluctuations. The high pass filter removes the "DC" level of the chart, removing the average price moves and only outputting volatility.
Real world application for high pass filter - Used in audio equalizers to remove low-frequency noise (like rumble) while allowing higher frequencies to pass through, improving sound clarity.
3) Band Pass Filter – Allows signals to plot only within a band of bar ranges. This filter removes the low pass "DC" level and the high pass "high frequency noise spikes" and shows a signal that is effectively a smoothed volatility curve. This acts like a moving average for volatility.
Real world application for band pass filter - Radio stations only allow certain frequency bands so you can change your radio channel by switching which frequency band your filter is set to.
4) Band Stop Filter – Suppresses specific frequency bands (cycles between two cutoffs). This filter allows through the base price moving average, but keeps the high frequency volatility spikes. It allows you to filter out specific time interval price action.
Real world application for band stop filter - If there is prominent frequency signal in the area which can cause unnecessary noise in your system, a band stop filter can cancel out just that frequency so you get everything else
Configurable Parameters
• Cutoff Periods – Define the cycle lengths (in bars) to filter. This is a bit counter-intuitive with the numbering since the higher the bar count on the low-pass filter, the lower the frequency cutoff is. The opposite holds true for the high pass filter.
• Filter Order – Adjust steepness and responsiveness (higher order = sharper filtering, but with more delay).
• Overlay Option – Display Low Pass & Band Stop outputs directly on the price chart, or in a separate pane. This is enabled by default, plotting the filters that mimic moving averages directly onto the chart.
• Source Selection – Apply filters to close, open, high, low, or custom sources.
Histograms for Comparison
• BS–LP Histogram – Shows distance between Band Stop and Low Pass filters.
• BP–HP Histogram – Highlights differences between Band Pass and High Pass filters.
Histograms give the visualization of a pseudo-MACD style indicator
Visual & Informational Aids
• Customizable colors for each filter line.
• Optional zero-line for histogram reference.
• On-chart info table summarizing active filters, cutoff settings, histograms, and filter order.
📊 Use Cases
Trend Detection – Use the Low Pass filter to smooth noise and follow underlying market direction.
Volatility & Cycle Analysis – Apply High Pass or Band Pass to capture shorter-term patterns.
Noise Suppression – Deploy Band Stop to remove specific choppy frequencies.
Momentum Insight – Watch the histograms to spot divergences and relative filter strength.
