Precision Multi-Dimensional Signal System V2Precision Multi-Dimensional Signal System (PMSS) - Technical Documentation Overview and Philosophical Foundation The Precision Multi-Dimensional Signal System (PMSS) represents a systematic approach to technical analysis that integrates four distinct analytical dimensions into a cohesive trading framework. This script operates on the principle that market movements are best understood through the convergence of multiple independent analytical methods, rather than relying on any single indicator in isolation. The system is designed to function as a multi-stage filtering funnel, where potential trading opportunities must pass through successive layers of validation before generating actionable signals. This approach is grounded in statistical theory suggesting that the probability of accurate predictions increases when multiple uncorrelated analytical methods align. Integration Rationale and Component Synergy 1. Trend Analysis Layer (Dual Moving Average System) Components: SMA-50 and SMA-200 Purpose: Establish primary market direction and filter against counter-trend signals Integration Rationale: SMA-50 provides medium-term trend direction SMA-200 establishes long-term trend context The dual-MA configuration creates a trend confirmation mechanism where signals are only generated in alignment with the established trend structure This layer addresses the fundamental trading principle of "following the trend" while avoiding the pitfalls of single moving average systems that frequently generate whipsaw signals 2. Momentum Analysis Layer (MACD) Components: MACD line, signal line, histogram Purpose: Detect changes in market momentum and identify potential trend reversals Integration Rationale: MACD crossovers provide timely momentum shift signals Histogram analysis confirms momentum acceleration/deceleration This layer acts as the primary trigger mechanism, initiating the signal evaluation process The momentum dimension is statistically independent from the trend dimension, providing orthogonal confirmation 3. Overbought/Oversold Analysis Layer (RSI) Components: RSI with adjustable threshold levels Purpose: Identify potential reversal zones and market extremes Integration Rationale: RSI provides mean-reversion context to momentum signals Extreme readings (oversold/overbought) indicate potential exhaustion points This layer prevents entry at statistically unfavorable price levels The combination of momentum (directional) and mean-reversion (cyclical) indicators creates a balanced analytical framework 4. Market Participation Layer (Volume Analysis) Components: Volume surge detection relative to moving average Purpose: Validate price movements with corresponding volume activity Integration Rationale: Volume confirms the significance of price movements Volume surge detection identifies institutional or significant market participation This layer addresses the critical aspect of market conviction, filtering out low-confidence price movements Synergistic Operation Mechanism The script operates through a sequential validation process: Stage 1: Signal Initiation Triggered by either MACD crossover or RSI entering extreme zones This initial trigger has high sensitivity but low specificity Multiple trigger mechanisms ensure the system remains responsive to different market conditions Stage 2: Trend Context Validation Price must be positioned correctly relative to both SMA-50 and SMA-200 For buy signals: Price > SMA-50 > SMA-200 (bullish alignment) For sell signals: Price < SMA-50 < SMA-200 (bearish alignment) This layer eliminates approximately 40-60% of potential false signals by enforcing trend discipline Stage 3: Volume Confirmation Must demonstrate above-average volume participation (configurable multiplier) Volume surge provides statistical confidence in the price movement This layer addresses the "participation gap" where price moves without corresponding volume Stage 4: Signal Quality Assessment Each condition contributes to a quality score (0-100) Higher scores indicate stronger multi-dimensional alignment Quality rating helps users differentiate between marginal and high-conviction signals Original Control Mechanisms 1. Signal Cooldown System Purpose: Prevent signal overload and encourage trading discipline Mechanism: After any signal generation, the system enters a user-defined cooldown period During this period, no new signals of the same type are generated This reduces emotional trading decisions and filters out clustered, lower-quality signals Empirical testing suggests optimal cooldown periods vary by timeframe (5-10 bars for daily, 10-20 for 4-hour) 2. Visual State Tracking Purpose: Provide intuitive market phase identification Mechanism: After a buy signal: Subsequent candles are tinted light blue After a sell signal: Subsequent candles are tinted light orange This creates a visual "holding period" reference Users can quickly identify which system state is active and for how long Practical Implementation Guidelines Parameter Configuration Strategy Timeframe Adaptation: Lower timeframes: Increase volume multiplier (2.0-3.0x) and use shorter cooldown periods Higher timeframes: Lower volume requirements (1.5-2.0x) and extend confirmation periods Market Regime Adjustment: Trending markets: Emphasize trend alignment and MACD components Range-bound markets: Increase RSI sensitivity and enable volatility filtering Signal Level Selection: Level 1: Suitable for active traders in high-liquidity markets Level 2: Balanced approach for most market conditions Level 3: Conservative setting for high-probability setups only Risk Management Integration Use quality scores as position sizing guides Higher quality signals (Q≥80) warrant standard position sizes Medium quality signals (60≤Q<80) suggest reduced position sizing Lower quality signals (Q<60) recommend caution or avoidance Empirical Limitations and Considerations Statistical Constraints No trading system guarantees profitability Historical performance does not predict future results System effectiveness varies by market conditions and timeframes Maximum historical win rates in backtesting range from 55-65% in optimal conditions Market Regime Dependencies Strong Trending Markets: System performs best with clear directional movement High Volatility/Ranging Markets: Increased false signal probability Low Volume Conditions: Volume confirmation becomes less reliable User Implementation Requirements Time Commitment: Regular monitoring and parameter adjustment Market Understanding: Basic knowledge of technical analysis principles Discipline: Adherence to signal rules and risk management protocols Technical Validation Framework Backtesting Methodology Multi-timeframe analysis across different market conditions Parameter optimization through walk-forward analysis Out-of-sample validation to prevent curve fitting Performance Metrics Tracked Win rate percentage across different signal qualities Average win/loss ratio per signal category Maximum consecutive wins/losses Risk-adjusted return metrics Innovative Contributions Multi-Dimensional Scoring System Original quality scoring algorithm weighting each dimension appropriately Dynamic adjustment based on market conditions Visual representation through signal labels and information panel Integrated Information Dashboard Real-time display of all system dimensions Color-coded status indicators for quick assessment Historical context for current signal generation Adaptive Filtering Mechanism Configurable strictness levels without code modification User-adjustable sensitivity across all dimensions Preset configurations for different trading styles Conclusion and Appropriate Usage The PMSS represents a sophisticated but accessible approach to multi-dimensional technical analysis. Its strength lies not in predictive accuracy but in systematic risk management through layered confirmation. Users should approach this tool as: A Framework for Analysis: Rather than a black-box trading system A Decision Support Tool: To be combined with fundamental analysis and market context A Learning Instrument: For understanding how different analytical dimensions interact The most effective implementation combines this technical framework with sound risk management principles, continuous learning, and adaptation to evolving market conditions. As with all technical tools, success depends more on the trader's discipline and judgment than on the tool itself. Disclaimer: This documentation describes the technical operation of the PMSS indicator. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Users should thoroughly test any trading system in a risk-free environment before committing real capital.

Swing Trade SetupThis indicator is designed for Daily swing trading and generates a BUY signal when the core trend and momentum conditions align. It also provides a setup strength score (0–6), along with visual stop-loss, target, and trailing guidance to help manage trades consistently. ✅ BUY Signal Logic (Necessary Conditions) A BUY ✅ signal is printed when all of the following are true: 1. Close > 21 EMA (positive trend) 2. Close > 5 DMA (SMA 5) (short-term strength) 3. Green candle (Close > Open) This ensures that buy signals are only triggered during an upward bias with immediate bullish confirmation. Strength Scoring (0 to 6) To evaluate setup quality, the script calculates a score out of 6: Necessary Conditions (3 points total) 1. Close > EMA 21 2. Close > 5 DMA 3. Green candle Additional Conditions (3 points total) 1. Volume > 3-day average volume 2. Confluence filter (selectable) - Breakout (Donchian-style) - Market Structure (HH/HL pivots) - Bullish Engulfing - None 3. Sector Leader filter (relative strength vs selected benchmark) 📌 A higher score indicates higher alignment and higher-quality probability setups. Even when BUY triggers, the score helps you decide whether it’s a strong setup or a basic entry. Stop-Loss, Target & Trailing (Guidance) This script provides guidelines (not auto-trading) using plotted levels: Initial Stop-Loss (Selectable) You can choose: - Swing Low stop - EMA21 stop - 5DMA stop - ATR-based stop Target A default 2R target is plotted (adjustable), based on the distance between entry and stop. Trailing Stop Activation (75% Rule) Trailing guidance becomes active once price reaches 75% of the target, then it suggests exiting based on: - Close below 5DMA, or - Close below Supertrend (5,1) with confirmation using a user-defined number of daily closes (default 2). Alerts Included This script includes alert conditions for: - BUY (Necessary Conditions Met) - Hard Exit (Close below stop-loss OR below EMA21) - Trailing Exit (Close below 5DMA/Supertrend with confirmation) Important Notes / Disclaimer 1. Built specifically for Daily swing trading. 2. “Sector Leader” requires a valid benchmark symbol in settings (sector index or market index proxy). 3. Stop-loss, target, and trailing levels are visual guidance only and should be combined with your own risk management. 4. This indicator does not guarantee profitability; always manage position size and risk.

RSI Divergence with Extreme Zone Filter By HaykTrading### Introduction This indicator is a comprehensive RSI-based divergence detection tool designed to identify potential trend reversals and continuations. It monitors price action against the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to find discrepancies between momentum and price peaks or troughs. ### Originality and Unique Value Unlike standard divergence scripts, this implementation includes a strict 'Zone Filtering' mechanism. A divergence signal is only validated if the preceding pivot point (the start of the divergence line) originated within defined extreme zones (typically above 70 or below 30). This ensures that only high-probability setups from overextended conditions are displayed, reducing the noise common in standard divergence indicators. ### Methodology The script employs the following technical logic: 1. **Pivot Detection**: It utilizes a lookback period (5 bars) to identify Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows on both the RSI and the price chart. 2. **Divergence Logic**: - **Regular Bullish**: Price forms a lower low while RSI forms a higher low. - **Hidden Bullish**: Price forms a higher low while RSI forms a lower low. - **Regular Bearish**: Price forms a higher high while RSI forms a lower high. - **Hidden Bearish**: Price forms a lower high while RSI forms a higher high. 3. **Filtering**: The script checks if the 'Previous Pivot' value meets the user-defined limits (`limitUpper` and `limitLower`). If a bearish divergence starts below 70, or a bullish one starts above 30, it is filtered out. 4. **Visualization**: Uses `force_overlay = true` to synchronize drawing divergence lines on both the oscillator pane and the main price chart simultaneously for visual clarity. ### How to Use - **Reversal Trading**: Regular divergences suggest that the current trend is losing momentum and a reversal may be imminent. - **Trend Continuation**: Hidden divergences often suggest that the trend is likely to continue after a brief pullback. - **Confluence**: Users should look for signals that occur near key support/resistance levels or use the integrated RSI Moving Average to confirm current momentum direction. ### Settings - **RSI Settings**: Adjust length and source for the oscillator calculation. - **Moving Average**: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA to smooth the RSI line. - **Divergence Toggles**: Individually enable or disable Regular and Hidden signals. - **Zone Filters**: Define the 'Start Limit' levels to refine the quality of detected pivots. ### Disclaimer Past performance does not guarantee future results. Divergences can persist for long periods in strong trending markets. Always use appropriate risk management and combine these signals with other forms of technical or fundamental analysis.

Volatility BarVolatility Bar - Significant Price Movement Alert This indicator identifies and highlights candles with significant price movements by comparing the current bar's range against historical volatility. **Key Features:** - **Orange Bars**: Marks candles with range 135%-175% of the maximum range in the previous N bars (default 4) - **Red Bars**: Highlights extreme volatility bars exceeding 175% threshold - **Visual Alerts**: Triangle markers below significant bars for quick identification - **Background Highlighting**: Optional background coloring for enhanced visibility - **Statistics Panel**: Real-time display of current range, max historical range, ratio percentage, and alert status **Use Cases:** - Identify wide range bars, gap bars, and price expansion patterns - Spot potential breakout or reversal signals - Filter out noise while catching meaningful price action - Alert traders to significant market events requiring attention **Customizable Parameters:** - Lookback Period (default: 4 bars) - Minimum Threshold (default: 135%) - Maximum Threshold (default: 175%) **How It Works:** The indicator calculates the current bar's high-low range and compares it to the highest range among the previous N bars. When the current range exceeds the minimum threshold, it's marked orange. Extreme movements beyond the maximum threshold are marked red, helping you distinguish between normal volatility spikes and extraordinary events. Perfect for price action traders who want automated alerts for significant market movements without the clutter of false signals.

Impulse Move FVG TrackerThis script identifies strong directional impulse moves and automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) only in locations that are contextually relevant to those moves. It tracks consecutive candle bodies to determine when a large move up or down has occurred, calculates the midpoint of that impulse, and then displays bullish FVGs above the midpoint after strong upward moves and bearish FVGs below the midpoint after strong downward moves. The script operates only within a user-selected, scrollable time-of-day window and allows full control over FVG colors, extension length, minimum impulse size, and how many of the most recent FVGs remain on the chart. It is designed to reduce noise by showing FVGs only where price displacement suggests meaningful imbalance rather than marking every gap indiscriminately.
