Wavelet Kernal ATR [BackQuant]Wavelet Kernal ATR
Introduction
Wavelet Kernal ATR is a closed-source, chart-side tool that fuses an edge-preserving “wavelet kernal” smoother with an ATR-aware regime line. The goal is simple: follow the real move, ignore the static, and give you clean, visual places to manage risk. It can color the trend directly on price, flip states when regime changes, and (optionally) add a secondary moving-average overlay for confirmation all while keeping the chart readable.
What it is
A single adaptive baseline designed to act like a “bias rail.” When it’s up, you favor longs; when it’s down, you favor shorts. It updates in a way that’s responsive to fresh information but resistant to insignificant wiggles. Around that baseline, an ATR-scaled envelope governs how and when the line concedes to volatility, which helps avoid flip-flopping in chop. Because this release is closed source, the following focuses on behavior and practical use rather than internal math.
What it’s used for
Bias & context: Read the backdrop with one glance; green = bullish regime, red = bearish regime.
Timing: Use slope changes and pullbacks to the line for entries aligned with the dominant push.
Risk placement: The line and its volatility envelope give intuitive zones for stops and targets.
Clarity: Paint candles by state and keep other overlays to a minimum to reduce decision noise.
Why “Wavelet Kernal” matters (plain English)
A wavelet kernal is a localized, scale-aware weighting profile. Instead of averaging every bar equally—or with a single, fixed decay—it emphasizes the most informative part of the recent window while softly down-weighting points that are either too old or too extreme. Three practical benefits result:
Edge preservation: Turning points are less “smeared” than with conventional smoothers, so the line can pivot sooner on genuine breakouts without chasing every tick.
Multi-scale sensitivity: The kernal “listens” to structure at multiple scales inside a compact window, helping it track swing-sized movement while suppressing micro-chop.
Lag vs. noise balance: Because the weighting is localized and shape-aware, you get a calmer line at similar responsiveness compared to common filters; fewer false flips, more meaningful ones.
You don’t need to know the internals to use it: think of the wavelet kernal as a smart stethoscope for price. It hears the heartbeat (trend/impulse) and ignores the coughs (random spikes).
How it behaves
Trend mode: When price expands directionally, the line “sticks” to the move and stays colored in that direction. Pullbacks that remain shallow relative to volatility usually do not flip the state.
Transition mode: After a large push, the line may flatten as volatility compresses. Flat + frequent small flips is the platform telling you: edge is low, wait for expansion.
Shock handling: On sudden spikes, the ATR envelope acts like a reality check—minor overreactions are absorbed, while statistically meaningful breaks force the baseline to concede and re-anchor.
Reading the line (quick heuristics)
Green + rising: Bias long; look for pullbacks toward the line that stall and resume.
Red + falling: Bias short; look for rallies into the line that fade.
Flat + rapid color flips: Stand down or scale down—let the next expansion choose the side.
Color flip at a prior S/R: Treat as a higher-quality signal than flips in the middle of nowhere.
Baseline + ATR corridor (concept)
The volatility envelope isn’t drawn as two fat bands here; it’s used internally to keep the baseline honest. You can think of it as a “breathing room” rule: the line is allowed to adapt with trend, but it shouldn’t jump the fence unless price movement is large enough relative to recent volatility. That’s why the tool feels calm in chop and decisive during actual breaks.
Optional MA Overlay (confluence)
You can overlay a moving average of the baseline itself for slower-regime confirmation. When both agree (baseline direction and its MA slope), you have trend alignment. When they diverge, expect digestion or a possible transition. Keep this overlay subtle; it’s a context layer, not another signal firehose.
What it plots
Wavelet ATR line — the adaptive baseline that flips color with regime.
Optional MA of the baseline — slower confirmation, on or off.
Candle painting — bars can inherit long/short state for instant read-through.
Alerts — available for state flips up/down.
Inputs explained (effect on behavior)
Wavelet ATR Calculation
Price Source — Default hlc3 ; choose your preferred composite of OHLC.
Kernal Calculation Length — The horizon the kernal “listens to.” Longer = steadier, fewer flips; shorter = snappier, more flips.
Kernal Alpha — How strongly the kernal prioritizes the freshest data inside that horizon. Higher alpha = quicker to acknowledge new pushes; lower alpha = more patience.
ATR Period — Determines the volatility memory. Shorter = envelope reacts faster; longer = envelope demands more evidence to concede.
ATR Factor — Scales how “strict” the envelope is. Larger factor = more tolerance (fewer flips); smaller = more sensitivity (earlier regime shifts).
Confluence
Show Atr Moving Average — Turns on the secondary overlay.
MA Type — Choose the flavor you read best (simple, exponential, linear regression, etc.).
Moving Average Period — The overlay’s horizon; treat it as a background current.
Volume Factor / Sigma (when applicable) — Specialized parameter used by certain MA types to shape smoothness.
Plotting & UI
Plot Wavelet ATR — Toggle the main line.
Paint Candles According to Trend — Color bars by the baseline’s state.
Long/Short Colors — Match your chart theme.
A practical playbook
Trend-pullback continuation
Setup: Baseline is green and rising. Price pulls back toward it, stalls (small bodies or wicks into the line), then resumes upward.
Idea: Enter on the resumption. Protective stop often lives just below the line or the last swing low. Scale targets through prior highs or measured projections.
Breakout + acceptance
Setup: Baseline flattens after consolidation. Price expands away; baseline turns green/red and stays that way as two or three bars “accept” the new area.
Idea: Join on the first controlled retest toward the line. If the line instantly loses color again, treat it as a fakeout.
Failed test / flip-and-go
Setup: Price challenges the line from the wrong side but cannot close through it convincingly; shortly after, the baseline flips color back in the original direction.
Idea: Use that failed test as a springboard—risk tucked beyond the failed side.
Quality checks before you click
Structure context: Is the flip happening near prior highs/lows, session opens, or well-observed levels? Flips at structure carry more information.
Volatility posture: If range is compressing, be picky. If range is expanding, respect the first pullback after the flip.
Clutter discipline: Use the fewest layers that earn their place. Trend line + candle painting is often enough.
Common questions
“Why did the line not flip on that spike?” Because the move wasn’t large or sustained enough relative to recent volatility. The envelope forces patience.
“Why did it flip and then flip back?” That’s what digestion looks like. The kernal preserves edges, but when the market truly has no edge, brief flips are information: sit tight.
“Do I need the overlay MA?” No. It’s optional context. If it helps you filter marginal trades, keep it. If it adds noise, turn it off.
Troubleshooting & fine-tuning (principles, not prescriptions)
Too many flips? Increase the Kernal Calculation Length or the ATR Factor. You’re asking for a steadier bias.
Feels late on strong trends? Nudge Kernal Alpha higher or shorten the Kernal Length. You’re asking for earlier acknowledgment.
Stops feel random? Place initial risk just beyond the baseline (or the last swing beyond it), then trail only when fresh structure appears.
Charts feel crowded? Keep the baseline + candle coloring; hide the overlay and other ornaments.

Final notes
This tool is built to minimize analysis fatigue: one adaptive line, strong visual feedback, and enough discipline from volatility logic to avoid the “every blip is a signal” trap. The internal math, weighting shapes, and state logic are proprietary and intentionally not disclosed here; you still have full control of behavior through the inputs above. As always, align the settings with your own trade plan, keep the chart readable, and let confluence—not clutter—do the heavy lifting.
Imbalance (FVG)Indicator Description
This script is designed to automatically identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as Imbalances, on your chart. An FVG is a key price action concept that highlights areas where the price moved swiftly, leaving a gap behind. This indicator is simple to use and fully customizable, making it an excellent tool for both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator scans the market in real-time, automatically drawing FVG zones for both Bullish and Bearish moves.
Mitigation Tracking: When the price returns to an FVG zone, the indicator automatically marks it as "mitigated" (filled) by changing its color and style. This provides a clear signal that the imbalance has been neutralized.
Extend Zones Into the Future: Unmitigated FVG zones are automatically extended into the future, allowing them to be used as potential future support or resistance levels.
Full Customization: The user has complete control over the indicator's appearance. You can change the colors for bullish, bearish, and mitigated zones, as well as toggle their visibility on and off.
Performance Optimization: A built-in limit for the number of drawn objects prevents chart clutter and avoids errors from TradingView's drawing limits, ensuring smooth performance.
How to Use?
FVG zones can be used in various ways, including:
Price Magnets: Markets often tend to revert to "fill" these gaps.
Potential Entry Points: Price entering an FVG zone can present an opportunity to open a position, especially if confirming signals appear.
Support/Resistance Zones: Unfilled gaps can act as strong, dynamic levels of support or resistance.
PolyFilter [BackQuant]PolyFilter
A flexible, low-lag trend filter with three smoothing engines—optimized for clean bias, fewer whipsaws, and clear alerting.
What it does
PolyFilter draws a single “intelligent” baseline that adapts to price while suppressing noise. You choose the engine— Fractional MA , Ehlers 2-Pole Super Smoother , or a Multi-Kernel blend . The line can color itself by slope (trend) or by position vs price (above/below), and you get four ready-made alerts for flips and crosses.
What it plots
PolyFilter line — your smoothed trend baseline (width set by “Line Width”).
Optional candle & background coloring — choose: color by trend slope or by whether price is above/below the filter.
Signal markers — Arrows with L/S when the slope flips or when price crosses the line (if you enable shapes/alerts).
How the three engines differ
Fractional MA (experimental) — A power-law weighting of past bars (heavier focus on the most recent samples without throwing away history). The Adaptation Speed acts like the “fraction” exponent (default 0.618). Lower values lean more on recent bars; higher values spread weight further back.
Ehlers 2-Pole Super Smoother — Classic low-lag IIR smoother that aggressively reduces high-frequency noise while preserving turns. Great default when you want a steady, responsive baseline with minimal parameter fuss.
Multi-Kernel — A 70/30 blend of a Gaussian window and an exponential kernel. The Gaussian contributes smooth structure; the exponential adds a hint of responsiveness. Useful for assets that oscillate but still trend.
Reading the colors
Trend mode (default) — Line & candles turn green while the filter is rising (signal > signal ) and red while it’s falling.
Above/Below mode — Line & candles reflect price’s position relative to the filter: green when price > filter, red when price < filter. This is handy if you treat the filter like a dynamic “fair value” or bias line.
Inputs you’ll actually use
Calculation Settings
Price Source — Default HLC/3. Switch to Close for stricter trend, or HLC3/HL2 to soften single-print spikes.
Filter Length — Window/period for all engines. Shorter = snappier turns; longer = smoother line.
Adaptation Speed — Only affects Fractional MA . Lower it for faster, more local weighting; raise it for smoother, more global weighting.
Filter Type — Pick one of: Fractional MA, Ehlers 2-Pole, Multi-Kernel.
UI & Plotting
Color based off… — Choose Trend (slope) or > or < Close (position vs price).
Long/Short Colors — Customize bull/bear hues to your theme.
Show Filter Line / Paint candles / Color background — Visual toggles for the line, bars, and backdrop.
Line Width — Make the filter stand out (2–3 works well on most charts).
Signals & Alerts
PolyFilter Trend Up — Slope flips upward (the filter crosses above its prior value). Good for early continuation entries or stop-tightening on shorts.
PolyFilter Trend Down — Slope flips downward. Often used to scale out longs or rotate bias.
PolyFilter Above Price — The filter line crosses up through price (filter > price). This can confirm that mean has “caught up” after a pullback.
PolyFilter Below Price — The filter line crosses down through price (filter < price). Useful to confirm momentum loss on bounces.
Quick starts (suggested presets)
Intraday (5–15m, crypto or indices) — Ehlers 2-Pole, Length 55–80. Trend coloring ON, candle paint ON. Look for pullbacks to a rising filter; avoid fading a falling one.
Swing (1H–4H) — Multi-Kernel, Length 80–120. Background color OFF (cleaner), candle paint ON. Add a higher-TF confirmation (e.g., 4H filter rising when you trade 1H).
Range-prone FX — Fractional MA, Length 70–100, Adaptation ~0.55–0.70. Consider Above/Below mode to trade mean reversion to the line with a strict risk cap.
How to use it in practice
Bias line — Trade in the direction of the filter slope; stand aside when it flattens and color chops back and forth.
Dynamic support/resistance — Treat the line as a moving value area. In trends, entries often appear on shallow tags of the line with structure confluence.
Regime switch — When the filter flips and holds color for several bars, tighten stops on the opposing side and look for first pullback in the new color.
Stacking filters — Many users run PolyFilter on the active chart and a slower instance (longer length) on a higher timeframe as a “macro bias” guardrail.
Tuning tips
If you see too many flips, lengthen the filter or switch to Multi-Kernel.
If turns feel late, shorten the filter or try Ehlers 2-Pole for lower lag.
On thin or very noisy symbols, prefer HLC3 as the source and longer lengths.
Performance note: very large lengths increase computation time for the Multi-Kernel and Fractional engines. Start moderate and scale up only if needed.
Summary
PolyFilter gives you a single, trustworthy baseline that you can read at a glance—either as a pure trend line (slope coloring) or as a dynamic “above/below fair value” reference. Pick the engine that matches your market’s personality, set a sensible length, and let the color and alerts guide bias, entries on pullbacks, and risk on reversals.
Kalman Adjusted Average True Range [BackQuant]Kalman Adjusted Average True Range
A volatility-aware trend baseline that fuses a Kalman price estimate with ATR “rails” to create a smooth, adaptive guide for entries, exits, and trailing risk.
Built on my original Kalman
This indicator is based on my original Kalman Price Filter:
That core smoother is used here to estimate the “true” price path, then blended with ATR to control step size and react proportionally to market noise.
What it plots
Kalman ATR Line the main baseline that turns up/down with the filtered trend.
Optional Moving Average of the Kalman ATR a secondary line for confluence (SMA/Hull/EMA/WMA/DEMA/RMA/LINREG/ALMA).
Candle Coloring (optional) paint bars by the baseline’s current direction.
Why combine Kalman + ATR?
Kalman reduces measurement noise and produces a stable path without the lag of heavy MAs.
ATR rails scale the baseline’s step to current volatility, so it’s calm in chop and more responsive in expansion.
The result is a single, intelligible line you can trade around: slope-up = constructive; slope-down = caution.
How it works (plain English)
Each bar, the Kalman filter updates an internal state (tunable via Process Noise , Measurement Noise , and Filter Order ) to estimate the underlying price.
An ATR band (Period × Factor) defines the allowed per-bar adjustment. The baseline cannot “jump” beyond those rails in one step.
A direction flip is detected when the baseline’s slope changes sign (upturn/downturn), and alerts are provided for both.
Typical uses
Trend confirmation Trade in the baseline’s direction; avoid fading a firmly rising/falling line.
Pullback timing Look for entries when price mean-reverts toward a rising baseline (or exits on tags of a falling one).
Trailing risk Use the baseline as a dynamic guide; many traders set stops a small buffer beyond it (e.g., a fraction of ATR).
Confluence Enable the MA overlay of the Kalman ATR; alignment (baseline above its MA and rising) supports continuation.
Inputs & what they do
Calculation
Kalman Price Source which price the filter tracks (Close by default).
Process Noise how quickly the filter can adapt. Higher = more responsive (but choppier).
Measurement Noise how much you distrust raw price. Higher = smoother (but slower to turn).
Filter Order (N) depth of the internal state array. Higher = slightly steadier behavior.
Kalman ATR
Period ATR lookback. Shorter = snappier; longer = steadier.
Factor scales the allowed step per bar. Larger factors permit faster drift; smaller factors clamp movement.
Confluence (optional)
MA Type & Period compute an MA on the Kalman ATR line , not on price.
Sigma (ALMA) if ALMA is selected, this input controls the curve’s shape. (Ignored for other MA types.)
Visuals
Plot Kalman ATR toggle the main line.
Paint Candles color bars by up/down slope.
Colors choose long/short hues.
Signals & alerts
Trend Up baseline turns upward (slope crosses above 0).
Alert: “Kalman ATR Trend Up”
Trend Down baseline turns downward (slope crosses below 0).
Alert: “Kalman ATR Trend Down”
These are state flips , not “price crossovers,” so you avoid many one-bar head-fakes.
How to start (fast presets)
Swing (daily/4H) ATR Period 7–14, Factor 0.5–0.8, Process Noise 0.02–0.05, Measurement Noise 2–4, N = 3–5.
Intraday (5–15m) ATR Period 5–7, Factor 0.6–1.0, Process Noise 0.05–0.10, Measurement Noise 2–3, N = 3–5.
Slow assets / FX raise Measurement Noise or ATR Period for calmer lines; drop Factor if the baseline feels too jumpy.
Reading the line
Rising & curving upward momentum building; consider long bias until a clear downturn.
Flat & choppy regime uncertainty; many traders stand aside or tighten risk.
Falling & accelerating distribution lower; short bias until a clean upturn.
Practical playbook
Continuation entries After a Trend Up alert, wait for a minor pullback toward the baseline; enter on evidence the line keeps rising.
Exit/reduce If long and the baseline flattens then turns down, trim or exit; reverse logic for shorts.
Filters Add a higher-timeframe check (e.g., only take longs when the daily Kalman ATR is rising).
Stops Place stops just beyond the baseline (e.g., baseline − x% ATR for longs) to avoid “tag & reverse” noise.
Notes
This is a guide to state and momentum, not a guarantee. Combine with your process (structure, volume, time-of-day) for decisions.
Settings are asset/timeframe dependent; start with the presets and nudge Process/Measurement Noise until the baseline “feels right” for your market.
Summary
Kalman ATR takes the noise-reduction of a Kalman price estimate and couples it with volatility-scaled movement to produce a clean, adaptive baseline. If you liked the original Kalman Price Filter (), this is its trend-trading cousin purpose-built for cleaner state flips, intuitive trailing, and confluence with your existing
PE Rating by The Noiseless TraderPE Rating by The Noiseless Trader
This script analyzes a symbol’s Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, using Diluted EPS (TTM) fundamentals directly from TradingView.
The script calculates the Price-to-Earnings ratio (P/E) using Diluted EPS (TTM) fundamentals. It then identifies:
PE High → the highest valuation point over a 3-year historical range.
PE Low → the lowest valuation point over a 3-year historical range.
PE Median → the midpoint between the two extremes, offering a fair-value benchmark.
PE (Int) → an additional intermediate low to track more recent undervaluation points. This is calculated based on lowest valuation point over a 1-year historical range
These levels are plotted directly on the chart as horizontal references, with markers showing the exact bars/dates when the extremes occurred. Candles corresponding to those days are also highlighted for context.
Bars corresponding to these extremes are highlighted (red = PE High, green = PE Low).
How it helps
Provides a historical valuation framework that complements technical analysis. We look for long opportunity or base formation near the PE Low and be cautious when stocks tends to trade near High PE.
We do not short the stock at High PE infact be cautious with long trades.
Helps identify whether current price action is happening near overvalued or undervalued zones.
Adds a long-term perspective to support swing trading and investing decisions. If a stock is coming from Low PE to Median PE and along with that if we get entry based on Classical strategies like Darvas Box, or HH-HL based on Dow Theory.
Offers a simple visual map of how far the market has moved from “cheap” to “expensive.”
This tool is best suited for long-term investors and swing traders who want to merge fundamentals with technical setups.
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to illustrate how valuation metrics (like earnings multiples) can be viewed alongside price action, helping traders connect fundamental context with technical execution in real market conditions.
Quantile Regression Bands [BackQuant]Quantile Regression Bands
Tail-aware trend channeling built from quantiles of real errors, not just standard deviations.
What it does
This indicator fits a simple linear trend over a rolling lookback and then measures how price has actually deviated from that trend during the window. It then places two pairs of bands at user-chosen quantiles of those deviations (inner and outer). Because bands are based on empirical quantiles rather than a symmetric standard deviation, they adapt to skewed and fat-tailed behaviour and often hug price better in trending or asymmetric markets.
Why “quantile” bands instead of Bollinger-style bands?
Bollinger Bands assume a (roughly) symmetric spread around the mean; quantiles don’t—upper and lower bands can sit at different distances if the error distribution is skewed.
Quantiles are robust to outliers; a single shock won’t inflate the bands for many bars.
You can choose tails precisely (e.g., 1%/99% or 5%/95%) to match your risk appetite.
How it works (intuitive)
Center line — a rolling linear regression approximates the local trend.
Residuals — for each bar in the lookback, the indicator looks at the gap between actual price and where the line “expected” price to be.
Quantiles — those gaps are sorted; you select which percentiles become your inner/outer offsets.
Bands — the chosen quantile offsets are added to the current end of the regression line to draw parallel support/resistance rails.
Smoothing — a light EMA can be applied to reduce jitter in the line and bands.
What you see
Center (linear regression) line (optional).
Inner quantile bands (e.g., 25th/75th) with optional translucent fill.
Outer quantile bands (e.g., 1st/99th) with a multi-step gradient to visualise “tail zones.”
Optional bar coloring: bars trend-colored by whether price is rising above or falling below the center line.
Alerts when price crosses the outer bands (upper or lower).
How to read it
Trend & drift — the slope of the center line is your local trend. Persistent closes on the same side of the center line indicate directional drift.
Pullbacks — tags of the inner band often mark routine pullbacks within trend. Reaction back to the center line can be used for continuation entries/partials.
Tails & squeezes — outer-band touches highlight statistically rare excursions for the chosen window. Frequent outer-band activity can signal regime change or volatility expansion.
Asymmetry — if the upper band sits much further from the center than the lower (or vice versa), recent behaviour has been skewed. Trade management can be adjusted accordingly (e.g., wider take-profit upslope than downslope).
A simple trend interpretation can be derived from the bar colouring
Good use-cases
Volatility-aware mean reversion — fade moves into outer bands back toward the center when trend is flat.
Trend participation — buy pullbacks to the inner band above a rising center; flip logic for shorts below a falling center.
Risk framing — set dynamic stops/targets at quantile rails so position sizing respects recent tail behaviour rather than fixed ticks.
Inputs (quick guide)
Source — price input used for the fit (default: close).
Lookback Length — bars in the regression window and residual sample. Longer = smoother, slower bands; shorter = tighter, more reactive.
Inner/Outer Quantiles (τ) — choose your “typical” vs “tail” levels (e.g., 0.25/0.75 inner, 0.01/0.99 outer).
Show toggles — independently toggle center line, inner bands, outer bands, and their fills.
Colors & transparency — customize band and fill appearance; gradient shading highlights the tail zone.
Band Smoothing Length — small EMA on lines to reduce stair-step artefacts without meaningfully changing levels.
Bar Coloring — optional trend tint from the center line’s momentum.
Practical settings
Swing trading — Length 75–150; inner τ = 0.25/0.75, outer τ = 0.05/0.95.
Intraday — Length 50–100 for liquid futures/FX; consider 0.20/0.80 inner and 0.02/0.98 outer in high-vol assets.
Crypto — Because of fat tails, try slightly wider outers (0.01/0.99) and keep smoothing at 2–4 to tame weekend jumps.
Signal ideas
Continuation — in an uptrend, look for pullback into the lower inner band with a close back above the center as a timing cue.
Exhaustion probe — in ranges, first touch of an outer band followed by a rejection candle back inside the inner band often precedes mean-reversion swings.
Regime shift — repeated closes beyond an outer band or a sharp re-tilt in the center line can mark a new trend phase; adjust tactics (stop-following along the opposite inner band).
Alerts included
“Price Crosses Upper Outer Band” — potential overextension or breakout risk.
“Price Crosses Lower Outer Band” — potential capitulation or breakdown risk.
Notes
The fit and quantiles are computed on a fixed rolling window and do not repaint; bands update as the window moves forward.
Quantiles are based on the recent distribution; if conditions change abruptly, expect band widths and skew to adapt over the next few bars.
Parameter choices directly shape behaviour: longer windows favour stability, tighter inner quantiles increase touch frequency, and extreme outer quantiles highlight only the rarest moves.
Final thought
Quantile bands answer a simple question: “How unusual is this move given the current trend and the way price has been missing it lately?” By scoring that question with real, distribution-aware limits rather than one-size-fits-all volatility you get cleaner pullback zones in trends, more honest “extreme” tags in ranges, and a framework for risk that matches the market’s recent personality.
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend
A two-stage trend tool that first filters price with a deadband baseline, then runs a Supertrend around that baseline with optional flip hysteresis and ATR-based adverse exits.
What this is
A hybrid of two ideas:
Deadband Hysteresis Baseline that only advances when price pulls far enough from the baseline to matter. This suppresses micro noise and gives you a stable centerline.
Supertrend bands wrapped around that baseline instead of raw price. Flips are further gated by an extra margin so side changes are more deliberate.
The goal is fewer whipsaws in chop and clearer regime identification during trends.
How it works (high level)
Deadband step — compute a per-bar “deadband” size from one of four modes: ATR, Percent of price, Ticks, or Points. If price deviates from the baseline by more than this amount, move the baseline forward by a fraction of the excess. If not, hold the line.
Centered Supertrend — build upper and lower bands around the baseline using ATR and a user factor. Track the usual trailing logic that tightens a band while price moves in its favor.
Flip hysteresis — require price to exceed the active band by an extra flip offset × ATR before switching sides. This adds stickiness at the boundary.
Adverse exit — once a side is taken, trigger an exit if price moves against the entry by K × ATR .
If you would like to check out the filter by itself:
What it plots
DBHF baseline (optional) as a smooth centerline.
DBHF Supertrend as the active trailing band.
Candle coloring by trend side for quick read.
Signal markers 𝕃 and 𝕊 at flips plus ✖ on adverse exits.
Inputs that matter
Price Source — series being filtered. Close is typical. HL2 or HLC3 can be steadier.
Deadband mode — ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points. This defines the “it’s big enough to matter” zone.
ATR Length / Mult (DBHF) — only used when mode = ATR. Larger values widen the do-nothing zone.
Percent / Ticks / Points — alternatives to ATR; pick what fits your market’s convention.
Enter Mult — scales the deadband you must clear before the baseline moves. Increase to filter more noise.
Response — fraction of the excess applied to baseline movement. Higher responds faster; lower is smoother.
Supertrend ATR Period & Factor — traditional band size controls; higher factor widens and flips less often.
Flip Offset ATR — extra ATR buffer required to flip. Useful in choppy regimes.
Adverse Stop K·ATR — per-trade danger brake that forces an exit if price moves K×ATR against entry.
UI — toggle baseline, supertrend, signals, and bar painting; choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Green regime — candles painted long and the Supertrend running below price. Pullbacks toward the baseline that fail to breach the opposite band often resume higher.
Red regime — candles painted short and the Supertrend running above price. Rallies that cannot reclaim the band may roll over.
Frequent side swaps — reduce sensitivity by increasing Enter Mult, using ATR mode, raising the Supertrend factor, or adding Flip Offset ATR.
Use cases
Bias filter — allow entries only in the direction of the current side. Use your preferred triggers inside that bias.
Trailing logic — treat the active band as a dynamic stop. If the side flips or an adverse K·ATR exit prints, reduce or close exposure.
Regime map — on higher timeframes, the combination baseline + band produces a clean up vs down template for allocation decisions.
Tuning guidance
Fast markets — ATR deadband, modest Enter Mult (0.8–1.2), response 0.2–0.35, Supertrend factor 1.7–2.2, small Flip Offset (0.2–0.5 ATR).
Choppy ranges — widen deadband or raise Enter Mult, lower response, and add more Flip Offset so flips require stronger evidence.
Slow trends — longer ATR periods and higher Supertrend factor to keep you on side longer; use a conservative adverse K.
Included alerts
DBHF ST Long — side flips to long.
DBHF ST Short — side flips to short.
Adverse Exit Long / Short — K·ATR stop triggers against the current side.
Strengths
Deadbanded baseline reduces micro whipsaws before Supertrend logic even begins.
Flip hysteresis adds a second layer of confirmation at the boundary.
Optional adverse ATR stop provides a uniform risk cut across assets and regimes.
Clear visuals and minimal parameters to adjust for symbol behavior.
Putting it together
Think of this tool as two decisions layered into one view. The deadband baseline answers “does this move even count,” then the Supertrend wrapped around that baseline answers “if it counts, which side should I be on and where do I flip.” When both parts agree you tend to stay on the correct side of a trend for longer, and when they disagree you get an early warning that conditions are changing.
When the baseline bends and price cannot reclaim the opposite band , momentum is usually continuing. Pullbacks into the baseline that stall before the far band often resolve in trend.
When the baseline flattens and the bands compress , expect indecision. Use the Flip Offset ATR to avoid reacting to the first feint. Wait for a clean band breach with follow through.
When an adverse K·ATR exit prints while the side has not flipped , treat it as a risk event rather than a full regime change. Many users cut size, re-enter only if the side reasserts, and let the next flip confirm a new trend.
Final thoughts
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend is best read as a regime lens. The baseline defines your tolerance for noise, the bands define your trailing structure, and the flip offset plus adverse ATR stop define how forgiving or strict you want to be at the boundary. On strong trends it helps you hold through shallow shakeouts. In choppy conditions it encourages patience until price does something meaningful. Start with settings that reflect the cadence of your market, observe how often flips occur, then nudge the deadband and flip offset until the tool spends most of its time describing the move you care about rather than the noise in between.
Trade Holding Time Background HighlighterTrade Holding Time Background Highlighter
This script visually highlights the chart background based on how old each bar is relative to the current time. It’s designed for crypto futures traders (and other active traders) who want to quickly see whether price action falls inside a day trading window, a swing trading window, or is considered older history.
⸻
🔑 Features
• Dynamic Background Highlighting
• Day Trader Zone (default = last 24 hours, light green).
• Swing Trader Zone (default = last 2 weeks, light yellow).
• Older Zone (beyond 2 weeks, light gray).
• Customizable Colors
• Choose your own background colors for each zone.
• Adjust opacity to make shading subtle or bold.
• Adjustable Timeframes
• Change day trading hours (default: 24 hours).
• Change swing trading window (default: 14 days).
• Simple, Intuitive Design
• Instantly see whether the current market structure is suitable for scalps/day trades, swing trades, or simply part of older price action.
⸻
🎯 Why Use This?
As a futures/perpetual trader, knowing the context of price action is crucial:
• Scalpers/Day Traders focus on the most recent 24h.
• Swing Traders look back 1–2 weeks.
• Anything older often has less weight for short-term setups.
This script highlights those zones automatically, saving you time and giving clarity on whether you’re trading inside a fresh opportunity window or old, less relevant price action.
Theil-Sen Line Filter [BackQuant]Theil-Sen Line Filter
A robust, median-slope baseline that tracks price while resisting outliers. Designed for the chart pane as a clean, adaptive reference line with optional candle coloring and slope-flip alerts.
What this is
A trend filter that estimates the underlying slope of price using a Theil-Sen style median of past slopes, then advances a baseline by a controlled fraction of that slope each bar. The result is a smooth line that reacts to real directional change while staying calm through noise, gaps, and single-bar shocks.
Why Theil-Sen
Classical moving averages are sensitive to outliers and shape changes. Ordinary least squares is sensitive to large residuals. The Theil-Sen idea replaces a single fragile estimate with the median of many simple slopes, which is statistically robust and less influenced by a few extreme bars. That makes the baseline steadier in choppy conditions and cleaner around regime turns.
What it plots
Filtered baseline that advances by a fraction of the robust slope each bar.
Optional candle coloring by baseline slope sign for quick trend read.
Alerts when the baseline slope turns up or down.
How it behaves (high level)
Looks back over a fixed window and forms many “current vs past” bar-to-bar slopes.
Takes the median of those slopes to get a robust estimate for the bar.
Optionally caps the magnitude of that per-bar slope so a single volatile bar cannot yank the line.
Moves the baseline forward by a user-controlled fraction of the estimated slope. Lower fractions are smoother. Higher fractions are more responsive.
Inputs and what they do
Price Source — the series the filter tracks. Typical is close; HL2 or HLC3 can be smoother.
Window Length — how many bars to consider for slopes. Larger windows are steadier and slower. Smaller windows are quicker and noisier.
Response — fraction of the estimated slope applied each bar. 1.00 follows the robust slope closely; values below 1.00 dampen moves.
Slope Cap Mode — optional guardrail on each bar’s slope:
None — no cap.
ATR — cap scales with recent true range.
Percent — cap scales with price level.
Points — fixed absolute cap in price points.
ATR Length / Mult, Cap Percent, Cap Points — tune the chosen cap mode’s size.
UI Settings — show or hide the line, paint candles by slope, choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Up-slope baseline and green candles indicate a rising robust trend. Pullbacks that do not flip the slope often resolve in trend direction.
Down-slope baseline and red candles indicate a falling robust trend. Bounces against the slope are lower-probability until proven otherwise.
Flat or frequent flips suggest a range. Increase window length or decrease response if you want fewer whipsaws in sideways markets.
Use cases
Bias filter — only take longs when slope is up, shorts when slope is down. It is a simple way to gate faster setups.
Stop or trail reference — use the line as a trailing guide. If price closes beyond the line and the slope flips, consider reducing exposure.
Regime detector — widen the window on higher timeframes to define major up vs down regimes for asset rotation or risk toggles.
Noise control — enable a cap mode in very volatile symbols to retain the line’s continuity through event bars.
Tuning guidance
Quick swing trading — shorter window, higher response, optionally add a percent cap to keep it stable on large moves.
Position trading — longer window, moderate response. ATR cap tends to scale well across cycles.
Low-liquidity or gappy charts — prefer longer window and a points or ATR cap. That reduces jumpiness around discontinuities.
Alerts included
Theil-Sen Up Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses above zero.
Theil-Sen Down Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses below zero.
Strengths
Robust to outliers through median-based slope estimation.
Continuously advances with price rather than re-anchoring, which reduces lag at turns.
User-selectable slope caps to tame shock bars without over-smoothing everything.
Minimal visuals with optional candle painting for fast regime recognition.
Notes
This is a filter, not a trading system. It does not account for execution, spreads, or gaps. Pair it with entry logic, risk management, and higher-timeframe context if you plan to use it for decisions.
Simple TPODisplays price distribution over time using Time Price Opportunities (TPO). Shows Point of Control (POC), Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) levels to identify key support/resistance zones and fair value areas. Includes customizable timeframes and price breakout alerts.

Deadband Hysteresis Filter [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Filter
What this is
This tool builds a “debounced” price baseline that ignores small fluctuations and only reacts when price meaningfully departs from its recent path. It uses a deadband to define how much deviation matters and a hysteresis scheme to avoid rapid flip-flops around the decision boundary. The baseline’s slope provides a simple trend cue, used to color candles and to trigger up and down alerts.
Why deadband and hysteresis help
They filter micro noise so the baseline does not react to every tiny tick.
They stabilize state changes. Hysteresis means the rule to start moving is stricter than the rule to keep holding, which reduces whipsaw.
They produce a stepped, readable path that advances during sustained moves and stays flat during chop.
How it works (conceptual)
At each bar the script maintains a running baseline dbhf and compares it to the input price p .
Compute a base threshold baseTau using the selected mode (ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points).
Build an enter band tauEnter = baseTau × Enter Mult and an exit band tauExit = baseTau × Exit Mult where typically Exit Mult < Enter Mult .
Let diff = p − dbhf .
If diff > +tauEnter , raise the baseline by response × (diff − tauEnter) .
If diff < −tauEnter , lower the baseline by response × (diff + tauEnter) .
Otherwise, hold the prior value.
Trend state is derived from slope: dbhf > dbhf → up trend, dbhf < dbhf → down trend.
Inputs and what they control
Threshold mode
ATR — baseTau = ATR(atrLen) × atrMult . Adapts to volatility. Useful when regimes change.
Percent — baseTau = |price| × pctThresh% . Scale-free across symbols of different prices.
Ticks — baseTau = syminfo.mintick × tickThresh . Good for futures where tick size matters.
Points — baseTau = ptsThresh . Fixed distance in price units.
Band multipliers and response
Enter Mult — outer band. Price must travel at least this far from the baseline before an update occurs. Larger values reject more noise but increase lag.
Exit Mult — inner band for hysteresis. Keep this smaller than Enter Mult to create a hold zone that resists small re-entries.
Response — step size when outside the enter band. Higher response tracks faster; lower response is smoother.
UI settings
Show Filtered Price — plots the baseline on price.
Paint candles — colors bars by the filtered slope using your long/short colors.
How it can be used
Trend qualifier — take entries only in the direction of the baseline slope and skip trades against it.
Debounced crossovers — use the baseline as a stabilized surrogate for price in moving-average or channel crossover rules.
Trailing logic — trail stops a small distance beyond the baseline so small pullbacks do not eject the trade.
Session aware filtering — widen Enter Mult or switch to ATR mode for volatile sessions; tighten in quiet sessions.
Parameter interactions and tuning
Enter Mult vs Response — both govern sensitivity. If you see too many flips, increase Enter Mult or reduce Response. If turns feel late, do the opposite.
Exit Mult — widening the gap between Enter and Exit expands the hold zone and reduces oscillation around the threshold.
Mode choice — ATR adapts automatically; Percent keeps behavior consistent across instruments; Ticks or Points are useful when you think in fixed increments.
Timeframe coupling — on higher timeframes you can often lower Enter Mult or raise Response because raw noise is already reduced.
Concrete starter recipes
General purpose — ATR mode, atrLen=14 , atrMult=1.0–1.5 , Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.5 , Response=0.20 . Balanced noise rejection and lag.
Choppy range filter — ATR mode, increase atrMult to 2.0, keep Response≈0.15 . Stronger suppression of micro-moves.
Fast intraday — Percent mode, pctThresh=0.1–0.3 , Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.4–0.6 , Response=0.30–0.40 . Quicker turns for scalping.
Futures ticks — Ticks mode, set tickThresh to a few spreads beyond typical noise; start with Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.5 , Response=0.25 .
Strengths
Clear, explainable logic with an explicit noise budget.
Multiple threshold modes so the same tool fits equities, futures, and crypto.
Built-in hysteresis that reduces flip-flop near the boundary.
Slope-based coloring and alerts that make state changes obvious in real time.
Limitations and notes
All filters add lag. Larger thresholds and smaller response trade faster reaction for fewer false turns.
Fixed Points or Ticks can under- or over-filter when volatility regime shifts. ATR adapts, but will also expand bands during spikes.
On extremely choppy symbols, even a well tuned band will step frequently. Widen Enter Mult or reduce Response if needed.
This is a chart study. It does not include commissions, slippage, funding, or gap risks.
Alerts
DBHF Up Slope — baseline turns from down to up on the latest bar.
DBHF Down Slope — baseline turns from up to down on the latest bar.
Implementation details worth knowing
Initialization sets the baseline to the first observed price to avoid a cold-start jump.
Slope is evaluated bar-to-bar. The up and down alerts check for a change of slope rather than raw price crossings.
Candle colors and the baseline plot share the same long/short palette with transparency applied to the line.
Practical workflow
Pick a mode that matches how you think about distance. ATR for volatility aware, Percent for scale-free, Ticks or Points for fixed increments.
Tune Enter Mult until the number of flips feels appropriate for your timeframe.
Set Exit Mult clearly below Enter Mult to create a real hold zone.
Adjust Response last to control “how fast” the baseline chases price once it decides to move.
Final thoughts
Deadband plus hysteresis gives you a principled way to “only care when it matters.” With a sensible threshold and response, the filter yields a stable, low-chop trend cue you can use directly for bias or plug into your own entries, exits, and risk rules.
RB — Rejection Blocks (Price Structure)This indicator detects and visualizes Rejection Blocks (RBs) using pure price action logic.
A bullish RB occurs when a down candle forms a lower low than both its neighbors. A bearish RB occurs when an up candle forms a higher high than both its neighbors.
Validated RBs are displayed as boxes, optional lines, or labels. Blocks are automatically removed when invalidated (price closes through them), keeping the chart uncluttered and focused.
How to use
• Apply on any timeframe, from intraday to higher timeframes.
• Watch how price reacts when revisiting RB zones.
• Treat these zones as contextual areas, not entry signals.
• Combine with your own trading methods for confirmation.
Originality
Unlike generic support/resistance tools, this indicator isolates a specific structural pattern (rejection blocks) and renders it visually on the chart. This selective focus allows traders to study structural reactions with more clarity and precision.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not a trading system or a signal provider. It is a visual analysis tool designed for structural and educational purposes.
Smart Structure Breaks & Order BlocksOverview (What it does)
The indicator “Smart Structure Breaks & Order Blocks” detects market structure using swing highs and lows, identifies Break of Structure (BOS) events, and automatically draws order blocks (OBs) from the origin candle. These zones extend to the right and change color/outline when mitigated or invalidated. By formalizing and automating part of discretionary analysis, it provides consistent zone recognition.
Main Components
Swing Detection: ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow identify confirmed swing points.
BOS Detection: Determines if the recent swing high/low is broken by close (strict mode) or crossover.
OB Creation: After a BOS, the opposite candle (bearish for bullish BOS, bullish for bearish BOS) is used to generate an order block zone.
Zone Management: Limits the number of zones, extends them to the right, and tracks tagged (mitigated) or invalidated states.
Input Parameters
Left/Right Pivot (default 6/6): Number of bars required on each side to confirm a swing. Higher values = smoother swings.
Max Zones (default 4): Maximum zones stored per direction (bull/bear). Oldest zones are overwritten.
Zone Confirmation Lookback (default 3): Ensures OB origin candle validity by checking recent highs/lows.
Show Swing Points (default ON): Displays triangles on swing highs/lows.
Require close for BOS? (default ON): Strict BOS (close required) vs loose BOS (line crossover).
Use candle body for zones (default OFF): Zones drawn from candle body (ON) or wick (OFF).
Signal Definition & Logic
Swing Updates: Latest confirmed pivots update lastHighLevel / lastLowLevel.
BOS (Break of Structure):
Bullish – close breaks last swing high.
Bearish – close breaks last swing low.
Only one valid BOS per swing (avoids duplicates).
OB Detection:
Bullish BOS → previous bearish candle with lowest low forms the OB.
Bearish BOS → previous bullish candle with highest high forms the OB.
Zones: Bull = green, Bear = red, semi-transparent, extended to the right.
Zone States:
Mitigated: Price touches the zone → border highlighted.
Invalidated:
Bull zone → close below → turns red.
Bear zone → close above → turns green.
Chart Appearance
Swing High: red triangle above bar
Swing Low: green triangle below bar
Bull OB: green zone (border highlighted on touch)
Bear OB: red zone (border highlighted on touch)
Invalid Zones: Bull zones turn reddish, Bear zones turn greenish
Practical Use (Trading Assistance)
Trend Following Entries: Buy pullbacks into green OBs in uptrends, sell rallies into red OBs in downtrends.
Focus on First Touch: First mitigation after BOS often has higher reaction probability.
Confluence: Combine with higher timeframe trend, volume, session levels, key price levels (previous highs/lows, VWAP, etc.).
Stops/Targets:
Bull – stop below zone, partial take profit at swing high or resistance.
Bear – stop above zone, partial take profit at swing low or support.
Parameter Tuning (per market/timeframe)
Pivot (6/6 → 4/4/8/8): Lower for scalping (3–5), medium for day trading (5–8), higher for swing trading (8–14). Increase to reduce noise.
Strict Break: ON to reduce false breaks in ranging markets; OFF for earlier signals.
Body Zones: ON for assets with long wicks, OFF for cleaner OBs in liquid instruments.
Zone Confirmation (default 3): Increase for stricter OB origin, fewer zones.
Max Zones (default 4 → 6–10): Increase for higher volatility, decrease to avoid clutter.
Strengths
Standardizes BOS and OB detection that is usually subjective.
Tracks mitigation and invalidation automatically.
Adaptable: allows body/wick zone switching for different instruments.
Limitations
Pivot-based: Signals appear only after pivots confirm (slight lag).
Zones reflect past balance: Can fail after new events (news, earnings, macro data).
Range-heavy markets: More false BOS; consider stricter settings.
Backtesting: This script is for drawing/visual aid; trading rules must be defined separately.
Workflow Example
Identify higher timeframe trend (4H/Daily).
On lower TF (15–60m), wait for BOS and new OB.
Enter on first mitigation with confirmation candle.
Stop beyond zone; targets based on R multiples and swing points.
FAQ
Q: Why are zones invalidated quickly?
A: Flow reversal after BOS. Adjust pivots higher, enable Strict mode, or switch to Body zones to reduce noise.
Q: What does “tagged” mean?
A: Price touched the zone once = mitigated. Implies some orders in that zone may have been filled.
Q: Body or Wick zones?
A: Wick zones are fine in clean markets. For volatile pairs with long wicks, body zones provide more realistic areas.
Customization Tips (Code perspective)
Zone storage: Currently ring buffer ((idx+1) % zoneLimit). Could prioritize keeping unmitigated zones.
Automated testing: Add strategy.entry/exit for rule-based backtests.
Multi-timeframe: Use request.security() for higher timeframe swings/BOS.
Visualization: Add labels for BOS bars, tag zones with IDs, count touches.
Summary
This indicator formalizes the cycle Swing → BOS → OB creation → Mitigation/Invalidation, providing consistent structure analysis and zone tracking. By tuning sensitivity and strictness, and combining with higher timeframe context, it enhances pullback/continuation trading setups. Always combine with proper risk management.
Universal Trend+ [BackQuant]Universal Trend+
This indicator blends several well-known technical ideas into a single composite trend and momentum model. It can be show primarily as an overlay or a oscillator:
In which it produces two things:
a composite oscillator that summarizes multiple signals into one normalized score
a regime signal rendered on the chart as a colored ribbon with optional 𝕃 and 𝕊 markers
The goal is to simplify decision-making by having multiple, diverse measurements vote in a consistent framework, rather than relying on any single indicator in isolation.
What it does
Computes five independent components, each reading a different aspect of price behavior
Converts each component into a standardized bullish / neutral / bearish vote
Averages the available votes to a composite score
Compares that score to user thresholds to label the environment bullish, neutral, or bearish
Colors a fast/slow moving-average ribbon by the current regime, optionally paints candles, and can plot the composite oscillator in a lower pane
The five components (conceptual)
1)RSI Momentum Bias
A classic momentum gauge on a selectable source and lookback. The component emphasizes whether conditions are persistently strong or weak and applies a neutral buffer to avoid reacting to trivial moves. Output is expressed as a vote: bullish, neutral, or bearish.
2) Rate-of-Change Impulse
A smoothed rate-of-change that focuses on short bursts in acceleration. It is used to detect impulsive pushes rather than slow drift. Extreme readings cast a directional vote, mid-range readings abstain.
3) EMA Oscillator
A slope-style trend gauge formed by contrasting a fast and a slow EMA on a chosen source, normalized so that the sign and relative magnitude matter more than absolute price. A small dead-zone reduces whipsaws.
4) T3-Based Normalized Oscillator
A T3 smoother is transformed into a bounded oscillator via rolling normalization, then optionally smoothed by a user-selectable MA. This highlights directional drift while keeping scale consistent across symbols and regimes.
5) DEMA + ATR Bands State
A double-EMA core is wrapped in adaptive ATR bands to create a stepping state that reacts when pressure exceeds a volatility envelope. The component contributes an event-style vote on meaningful shifts.
Each component is designed to measure something different: trend slope, momentum impulse, normalized drift, and volatility-aware pressure. Their diversity is the point.
Composite scoring model
Standardization: Each component is mapped to -1 (bearish), 0 (neutral), or +1 (bullish) using bands and guards to cut noise.
Aggregation: The composite score is the average of the available votes. If a component is inactive on a bar, the composite uses the votes that are present.
Decision layer: Two user thresholds define your action bands.
Above the upper band → bullish regime
Below the lower band → bearish regime
Between the bands → neutral
This separation between measurement, aggregation, and decision avoids over-fitting any single threshold and makes the tool adaptable across assets and timeframes.
Plots and UI
Composite oscillator (optional lower pane): A normalized line that trends between bearish and bullish zones with user thresholds drawn for context.
Signal ribbon (on price): A fast/slow MA pair tinted by the current regime to give an at-a-glance market state.
Markers: Optional 𝕃 and 𝕊 labels when the regime flips.
Candle painting and background tint: Optional visual reinforcement of state.
Color and style controls: User inputs for long/short colors, threshold line color, and visibility toggles.
How it can be used
1) Regime filter
Use the composite regime to define bias. Trade only long in a bullish regime, only short in a bearish regime, and stand aside or scale down in neutral. This simple filter often reduces whipsaw.
2) Confirmation layer
Keep your entry method the same (breaks, pullbacks, liquidity sweeps, order-flow cues) but require agreement from the composite regime or a fresh flip in the 𝕃/𝕊 markers.
3) Momentum breakouts
Look for the composite oscillator to leave neutrality while the EMA oscillator is already positive and the ATR-band state has flipped. Confluence across components is the intent.
4) Pullback entries within trend
In a bullish regime, consider entries on shallow composite dips that recover before breaching the lower band. Reverse the logic in a bearish regime.
5) Exits and risk
Common choices are:
reduce on a return to neutral,
exit on an opposite regime flip, or
trail behind your own stop model (ATR, structure, session levels) while using the ribbon for context.
6) Multi-timeframe workflow
Select a higher timeframe for bias with this indicator, and time executions on a lower timeframe. The indicator itself stays on a single chart; you can load a second chart or pane if you prefer a strict top-down process.
Strengths
Diversified evidence: Five independent perspectives keep the model from hinging on one idea.
Noise control: Neutral buffers and a composite layer reduce reaction to minor wiggles.
Clarity: A single oscillator and a clearly colored ribbon present a complex assessment in a simple form.
Adaptable: Thresholds and lookbacks let you tune for faster or slower markets.
Practical tuning
Thresholds: Wider bands produce fewer regime flips and longer holds. Narrower bands increase sensitivity.
Lookbacks: Shorter lookbacks emphasize recent action; longer lookbacks emphasize stability.
T3 normalization window and volume factor: Increase the window to suppress noise on choppy symbols; tweak the factor to adjust the smoother’s response.
ATR factor for the band state: Raise it to demand more decisive pressure before registering a shift; lower it to respond earlier.
Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger when the regime flips long or short. If you prefer confirmed signals, set your alerts to bar close on your timeframe. Intrabar the composite can move with price; bar-close confirmation stabilizes behavior.
Limitations
Sideways markets: Even with buffers, any trend model can chop in range-bound conditions.
Lag vs sensitivity trade-off: Tighter thresholds react faster but flip more often; wider thresholds are steadier but later.
Asset specificity: Volatility regimes differ. Expect to retune ATR and normalization settings when switching symbols or timeframes.
Final Remarks
Universal Trend+ is meant to act like a disciplined voting committee. Each component contributes a different angle on the same underlying question: is the market pressing up, pressing down, or doing neither with conviction. By standardizing and aggregating those views, you get a single regime read that plays well with many entry styles and risk frameworks, while keeping the heavy math under the hood.
Balanced Price Range (BPR) DetectorBALANCED PRICE RANGE (BPR) DETECTOR
This indicator detects Balanced Price Ranges (BPR) by analyzing the overlap between bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG). BPR zones represent areas where opposing market forces create equilibrium, often acting as strong support/resistance levels.
KEY FEATURES:
- Automatic detection of overlapping FVGs to form BPR zones
- Confidence scoring system (0-100%) based on overlap ratio, size, volume, and symmetry
- Customizable filters (ATR, Volume)
- Real-time mitigation tracking
- Alert system for new BPRs, mitigations, and rejections
- Visual customization options
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator continuously scans for Fair Value Gaps in both directions. When a bullish FVG overlaps with a bearish FVG within the specified lookback period, a BPR zone is created. The confidence score helps traders identify the strongest zones.
USAGE:
- High confidence BPRs (>75%) often act as strong reversal zones
- Use for entry/exit points when price approaches BPR zones
- Combine with other indicators for confirmation
- Monitor touch counts for zone strength validation
SETTINGS:
- Lookback Bars: Number of bars to search for overlapping FVGs
- Min Overlap Ratio: Minimum overlap percentage required
- ATR/Volume Filters: Filter out weak or low-volume BPRs
- Display Options: Customize visual appearance
- Mitigation Type: Choose between wick or close-based mitigation
Perfect for traders using price action, supply/demand zones, or institutional order flow concepts.

What this is
A momentum oscillator that reshapes classic RSI into a zero-centered column plot and makes it adaptive. It builds RSI from two parts:
• A sensitivity window that scans several recent bars to capture the strongest up and down impulses.
• A selectable moving average that smooths those impulses before computing RSI.
The output ranges roughly from −100 to +100 with 0 as the midline, with optional extra smoothing and built-in divergence detection.
How it works
Impulse extraction
• For each bar the script inspects the last rsi_sen bars and collects upward and downward price changes versus the current price.
• It keeps the maximum upward change and maximum downward change from that window, emphasizing true bursts over single-bar noise.
MA-based averaging
• The up and down impulse series are averaged with your chosen MA over rsi_len bars.
• Supported MA types: SMA, EMA, DEMA, WMA, HMA, SMMA (RMA), TEMA.
Zero-centered RSI transform
• RS = UpMA ÷ DownMA, then mapped to a symmetric scale: 100 − 200 ÷ (1 + RS) .
• Above 0 implies positive momentum bias. Below 0 implies negative momentum bias.
Optional extra smoothing
• A second smoothing pass can be applied to the final oscillator using smoothing_len and smooth_type . Toggle with “Use Extra Smoothing”.
Visual encoding
• The oscillator is drawn as columns around the zero line with a gradient that intensifies toward extremes.
• Static bands mark 80 to 100 and −80 to −100 for extreme conditions.
Key inputs and what they change
• Price Source : input series for momentum.
• Calculation Period (rsi_len) : primary averaging window on up and down components. Higher = smoother, slower.
• Sensitivity (rsi_sen) : how many recent bars are scanned to find max impulses. Higher = more responsive to bursts.
• Calculation Type (ma_type) : MA family that shapes the core behavior. HMA or DEMA is faster, SMA or SMMA is slower.
• Smoothing Type and Length : optional second pass to calm noise on the final output.
• UI toggles : show or hide the oscillator, candle painting, and extreme bands.
Reading the oscillator
• Midline cross up (0) : momentum bias turning positive.
• Midline cross down (0) : momentum bias turning negative.
• Positive territory :
– 0 to 40: constructive but not stretched.
– 40 to 80: strong momentum, continuation more likely.
– Above 80: extreme risk of mean reversion grows.
• Negative territory : mirror the same levels for the downside.
Divergence detection
The script plots four divergence types using pivot highs and lows on both price and the oscillator. Lookbacks are set by lbL and lbR .
• Regular bullish : price lower low, oscillator higher low. Possible downside exhaustion.
• Hidden bullish : price higher low, oscillator lower low. Bias to trend continuation up.
• Regular bearish : price higher high, oscillator lower high. Possible upside exhaustion.
• Hidden bearish : price lower high, oscillator higher high. Bias to trend continuation down.
Labels: ℝ for regular, ℍ for hidden. Green for bullish, red for bearish.
Candle coloring
• Optional bar painting: green when the oscillator is above 0, red when below 0. This is for visual scanning only.
Strengths
• Adaptive sensitivity via a rolling impulse window that responds to genuine bursts.
• Configurable MA core so you can match responsiveness to the instrument.
• Zero-centered scale for simple regime reads with 0 as a clear bias line.
• Built-in regular and hidden divergence mapping.
• Flexible across symbols and timeframes once tuned.
Limitations and cautions
• Trends can remain extended. Treat extremes as context rather than automatic reversal signals.
• Divergence quality depends on pivot lookbacks. Short lookbacks give more signals with more noise. Long lookbacks reduce noise but add lag.
• Double smoothing can delay zero-line transitions. Balance smoothness and timeliness.
Practical usage ideas
• Regime filter : only take long setups from your separate method when the oscillator is above 0, shorts when below 0.
• Pullback confirmation : in uptrends, look for dips that hold above 0 or turn up from 0 to 40. Reverse for downtrends.
• Divergence as a heads-up : wait for a zero-line cross or a price trigger before acting on divergence.
• Sensitivity tuning : start with rsi_sen 2 to 5 on faster timeframes, increase slightly on slower charts.
Alerts
• MA-A RSI Long : oscillator crosses above 0.
• MA-A RSI Short : oscillator crosses below 0.
Use these as bias or timing aids, not standalone trade commands.
Settings quick reference
• Calculation : Price Source, Calculation Type, Calculation Period, Sensitivity.
• Smoothing : Smoothing Type, Smoothing Length, Use Extra Smoothing.
• UI : Show Oscillator, Paint Candles, Show Static High and Low Levels.
• Divergences : Pivot Lookback Left and Right, Div Signal Length, Show Detected Divergences.
Final thoughts
This tool reframes RSI by extracting strong short-term impulses and averaging them with a moving-average model of your choice, then presenting a zero-centered output for clear regime reads. Pair it with your structure, risk and execution process, and tune sensitivity and smoothing to the market you trade.
DM Impulse Enhanced [BackQuant]DM Impulse Enhanced
What this is (and what it isn’t)
DM Impulse Enhanced is a signal-driven overlay that classifies market action into two practical regimes: Long (risk-on) and Cash (risk-off). It’s built around a proprietary impulse model from the directional-movement family, wrapped in a persistence test and a state machine. Because this script is private, the core mechanics are intentionally abstracted here; what follows explains how to read and use it without revealing the protected calculation.
Why traders use it
Many tools oscillate or describe “how stretched” price is; fewer make a firm, operational call that you can automate. DM Impulse Enhanced aims to do exactly that declare when upside pressure is broad and durable enough to justify a long bias, and when deterioration is strong enough to stand aside (cash/short discretion). The emphasis is on impulse persistence rather than one-off spikes.
What you see on the chart
• Long / Cash markers – Green up-triangles (Long) and red down-triangles (Cash) plot at the bar where the regime changes.
• Regime-tinted bars (optional) – Candles can be softly shaded green during Long and red during Cash for at-a-glance context.
• Trend ribbon (context only) – A narrow ribbon (fast/slow moving averages) is tinted by the current regime to show trend alignment; it does not generate signals on its own.
• No separate sub-pane – Signals are intended to sit directly on price for immediate decision-making.
How the logic behaves (high-level)
Impulse core – A directional-movement–based engine estimates the strength of buying vs. selling pressure over a user-defined horizon.
Persistence gate – Instead of reacting to a single reading, the model evaluates how consistently that impulse dominates across a configurable lookback range.
State machine – When persistence clears (or fails) a pair of thresholds, the model flips and stays in that regime until evidence justifies a change. This “stickiness” is intentional; it reduces whipsaws in choppy tape.
Inputs & controls
Calculation Settings
• DM Length – The base horizon for the impulse engine. Longer = smoother/steadier; shorter = quicker/more reactive.
• Start / End – Defines the span of the persistence check. Expanding the span asks the market to prove itself against more history before changing regime.
Signal Settings
• Long Threshold – The persistence level required to promote the model into Long.
• Short Threshold – The level that, once crossed to the downside, demotes the model into Cash. Using a cross-under event for risk-off helps avoid premature exits on noise.
Visual Settings
• Long / Short colours – Customize marker and shading hues.
• Color Bars? – Toggle candle tinting by regime (off if you prefer a clean chart).
Reading the signals
• Long prints only when the model observes sustained upside pressure across the configured span. Treat this as permission to engage with pullbacks, breakouts, or your preferred setups in the direction of the trend.
• Cash prints when downside deterioration is strong enough to invalidate the prior regime. It’s a risk-off directive—flatten, hedge, or switch to short strategies according to your plan.
• Regime persistence is a feature: once Long, the model won’t flip on minor dips; once Cash, it won’t re-arm on minor bounces. If you want more flips, shorten the spans and relax thresholds; if you want fewer, do the opposite.
Practical tuning guide
Match DM Length to your timeframe
– Intraday: smaller length for timely response.
– Swing/Position: larger length to filter desk-noise and track higher-timeframe flows.
Size the persistence span to your goal
– Narrow span: faster regime changes, more trades, more noise.
– Wide span: fewer, higher-conviction calls, longer holds.
Set realistic thresholds
– The Long threshold should be reachable with your chosen span; the Short threshold should be low enough to catch genuine deterioration but not so tight that it flips on every dip.
Decide on cosmetics
– Turn on bar tinting for discretionary reading, or keep it off when exporting screenshots or running other overlays.
Suggested workflows
• Trend-following with discipline – Trade only in the Long regime; use structure (higher lows, anchored VWAP, or pullbacks to your MA stack) for entries and the Cash flip as a portfolio-level exit.
• Risk overlay – Keep your normal strategy, but: reduce size when Cash appears; re-enable full risk only after Long reasserts.
• Multi-timeframe gating – Require Long on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H or 1D), then take entries on a lower one. If the high-TF posts Cash, stand down.
How the ribbon fits in
The ribbon visualizes short- vs. intermediate-term trend in the same colour as the regime. It’s deliberately “dumb”: it does not change the signal, it just helps you see when price action and regime are in harmony (e.g., pullbacks during Long that hold above the ribbon).
Alerts included
• DM Impulse LONG – Triggers as the persistence measure clears the Long threshold.
• DM Impulse CASH – Triggers when deterioration crosses the Short threshold from above.
Configure alerts to fire on bar close if you want final (non-intrabar) decisions.
Strengths
• Actionable binary output – Long/Cash is unambiguous and easy to automate.
• Persistence-aware – Focuses on runs that endure, not one-bar excitement.
• Asset/timeframe agnostic – Works anywhere you trust directional-movement concepts (equities, futures, crypto, FX).
Limitations & cautions
• Not a reversal caller – It’s a regime classifier. If you need early bottoms/tops, pair it with your own exhaustion or liquidity tools.
• Parameter feasibility matters – If your thresholds are set beyond what your span can reasonably achieve, signals may rarely (or never) trigger.
• Chop happens – In mean-reverting or news-driven tape, expect more frequent flips unless you widen spans and thresholds.
• Intrabar movement – Like any responsive model, provisional intrabar states can appear before the bar closes. Use “bar close” alerts for finality.
Getting started (safe defaults you can adapt)
• Intraday bias – Shorter DM Length, modest span, moderately tight thresholds.
• Swing filter – Longer DM Length, wider span, stricter Long and sufficiently low Short.
• Conservative overlay – Keep thresholds firm and spans wide; use signals to scale risk rather than flip directions frequently.
Summary
DM Impulse Enhanced is a persistence-focused regime classifier built on directional-movement concepts. It answers a narrow question clearly “Risk-on or risk-off?” and stays with that answer until the evidence meaningfully changes. Use it as a bias switch, a portfolio risk overlay, or a gate for your existing entry logic, and size its spans/thresholds to the cadence of the market you trade.
SAR Oscillator [Bellsz]Converts Parabolic SAR into a normalized oscillator with crossover signals, gradient fills, and trend strength levels. A cleaner way to read SAR momentum. Making it easier to read momentum shifts, trend strength, and reversals directly in the sub-chart. Instead of dots on price only, this tool converts SAR dynamics into a smooth oscillator that highlights bias and turning points.
What it shows
Normalized Price Line — scaled view of price relative to SAR.
Normalized SAR Line — SAR value normalized across the high/low range.
SAR Dots — visual cue when crossovers occur (potential reversal or trend acceleration).
Gradient Fill — color-coded background for quick read of momentum direction/intensity.
Guide Levels — ±50 baseline to track trend strength and overextension.
Why use it
Converts SAR into an oscillator format, easier to compare across instruments & timeframes.
Highlights momentum shifts early (crossovers, gradient flips).
Adds structure with gradient fill and baselines, making SAR more actionable than standard dot plots.
Works as a trend bias filter or confirmation tool alongside other indicators.
Inputs
Acceleration / Increment / Maximum — adjust SAR sensitivity.
Custom Colors — choose your scheme for price, SAR, and gradients.
Best practices
Use on intraday or swing TFs as a trend bias filter.
Look for Normalized Price crossing Normalized SAR as potential entry signals.
Watch how SAR dots cluster near ±100 for exhaustion or reversal signals.
Notes
This is a visual enhancement of SAR; it does not repaint.
Combine with volume, FVGs, or session models for added context.
