indicator CalibrationIndicator Calibration - Multi-Indicator Consensus System
Overview
Indicator Calibration is a powerful consensus-based trading indicator that leverages the MyIndicatorLibrary (NormalizedIndicators) to combine multiple trend-following indicators into a single, actionable signal. By averaging the normalized outputs of up to 8 different trend indicators, this tool provides traders with a clear consensus view of market direction, reducing noise and false signals inherent in single-indicator approaches.
The indicator outputs a value between -1 (strong bearish) and +1 (strong bullish), with 0 representing a neutral market state. This creates an intuitive, easy-to-read oscillator that synthesizes multiple analytical perspectives into one coherent signal.
🎯 Core Concept
Consensus Trading Philosophy
Rather than relying on a single indicator that may give conflicting or premature signals, Indicator Calibration employs a democratic voting system where multiple indicators contribute their normalized opinion:
Each enabled indicator votes: +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral)
The votes are averaged to create a consensus signal
Strong consensus (closer to ±1) indicates high agreement among indicators
Weak consensus (closer to 0) indicates market indecision or transition
Key Benefits
Reduced False Signals: Multiple indicators must agree before strong signals appear
Noise Filtering: Individual indicator quirks are smoothed out by averaging
Customizable: Enable/disable indicators and adjust parameters to suit your trading style
Universal Application: Works across all timeframes and asset classes
Clear Visualization: Simple line oscillator with clear bull/bear zones

💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Consensus Threshold Trading
Entry Rules:
- Long: Output crosses above +0.5 (strong bullish consensus)
- Short: Output crosses below -0.5 (strong bearish consensus)
Exit Rules:
- Exit Long: Output crosses below 0 (consensus lost)
- Exit Short: Output crosses above 0 (consensus lost)
Strategy 2: Zero-Line Crossover
Entry Rules:
- Long: Output crosses above 0 (bullish shift in consensus)
- Short: Output crosses below 0 (bearish shift in consensus)
Exit Rules:
- Exit on opposite crossover
Strategy 3: Divergence Trading
Look for divergences between:
- Price making higher highs while indicator makes lower highs (bearish divergence)
- Price making lower lows while indicator makes higher lows (bullish divergence)
Strategy 4: Extreme Reading Reversal
Entry Rules:
- Long: Output reaches -0.8 or below (extreme bearish consensus = potential reversal)
- Short: Output reaches +0.8 or above (extreme bullish consensus = potential reversal)
Use with caution - best combined with other reversal signals

Smart RSI Money Flow - Core Bands V1.01SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands (Technical Overview)
1. Background: RSI and Its Behavior on Lower Timeframes
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) originally is a momentum oscillator calculated from average gains and losses over a selected period. In its standard form, RSI is derived solely from price changes; it does not incorporate volume data or order-flow information in its formula.
Because RSI is price-based, its interpretation depends strongly on the timeframe:
• On higher timeframes, each bar aggregates more trading activity, and RSI tends to behave more smoothly.
• On lower timeframes (1-hour down to intraday scalping intervals), price fluctuations are quicker, and RSI becomes more sensitive to short-term noise.
This does not imply that RSI becomes invalid, but that its signals on fast charts can be more reactive and may benefit from additional context such as volume behavior or structural information.
2. Purpose of This Indicator
This indicator extends the classical RSI by adding information that RSI does not include:
• Mapping RSI values into price-based bands instead of the 0–100 oscillator space.
• Retrieving lower timeframe volume data and separating it into buy and sell components.
• Comparing the slope (angle) of price movement with the slope of buy and sell volume.
The goal is to provide a structural interpretation of where price sits relative to RSI conditions and how volume is behaving on a lower timeframe.
3. Technical Differences Compared to Classical RSI
A) Classical RSI
• Input: price only (usually close).
• Output: normalized oscillator between 0 and 100.
• Does not incorporate intra-bar volume distribution.
• Does not separate buy/sell volume.
B) SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands
1) RSI-to-Price Mapping
Converts RSI values into upper/lower price bands using recent price extremes.
2) Lower Timeframe Volume Decomposition
Retrieves LTF data and splits each bar’s volume into buy (close>open) and sell (close
TASC 2025.12 The One Euro Filter█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the One Euro filter, developed by Georges Casiez, Nicolas Roussel, and Daniel Vogel, and adapted by John F. Ehlers in his article "Low-Latency Smoothing" from the December 2025 edition of the TASC Traders' Tips . The original creators gave the filter its name to suggest that it is cheap and efficient, like something one might purchase for a single Euro.
█ CONCEPTS
The One Euro filter is an EMA-based low-pass filter that adapts its smoothing factor (alpha) based on the absolute values of smoothed rates of change in the source series. It was designed to filter noisy, high-frequency signals in real time with low latency. Ehlers simplifies the filter for market analysis by calculating alpha in terms of bar periods rather than time and frequency, because periods are naturally intuitive for a discrete financial time series.
In his article, Ehlers demonstrates how traders can apply the adaptive One Euro filter to a price series for simple low-latency smoothing. Additionally, he explains that traders can use the filter as a smoothed oscillator by applying it to a high-pass filter. In essence, similar to other low-pass filters, traders can apply the One Euro filter to any custom source to derive a smoother signal with reduced noise and low lag.
This script applies the One Euro filter to a specified source series, and it applies the filter to a two-pole high-pass filter or other oscillator, depending on the selected "Osc type" option. By default, it displays the filtered source series on the main chart pane, and it shows the oscillator and its filtered series in a separate pane.
█ INPUTS
Source: The source series for the first filter and the selected oscillator.
Min period: The minimum cutoff period for the smoothing calculation.
Beta: Controls the responsiveness of the filter. The filter adds the product of this value and the smoothed source change to the minimum period to determine the filter's smoothing factor. Larger values cause more significant changes in the maximum cutoff period, resulting in a smoother response.
Osc type: The type of oscillator to calculate for the pane display. By default, the indicator calculates a high-pass filter. If the selected type is "None", the indicator displays the "Source" series and its filtered result in a separate pane rather than showing the filter on the main chart. With this setting, users can pass plotted values from another indicator and view the filtered result in the pane.
Period: The length for the selected oscillator's calculation.
Trade The Matric / MACD-RSI Hybrid Candles**"MACD-RSI Hybrid Candles"** is a **custom TradingView Pine Script (v6)** indicator that **replaces your chart’s default candles** with **dynamically colored, intensity-adjusted candles** based on **combined MACD and RSI signals**.
It’s a **visual fusion** of:
- **MACD Histogram** → Momentum & Trend Strength
- **RSI** → Overbought/Oversold & Trend Confirmation
- **Dynamic Transparency** → Visualizes **signal strength**
The result? **At-a-glance confirmation of bullish/bearish phases** — no need to check subcharts.
---
## OVERVIEW: What This Indicator Does
| Feature | Purpose |
|-------|--------|
| **Replaces price candles** | Entire chart becomes a **live MACD-RSI signal map** |
| **Colors based on dual confirmation** | Only strong when **both** MACD and RSI agree |
| **Transparency = momentum intensity** | Brighter = stronger signal |
| **Labels & Alerts** | Highlights **phase changes** (bullish/bearish shifts) |
---
## USER INPUTS (Customizable)
| Input | Default | Description |
|------|--------|-----------|
| `fastLen` | 12 | MACD Fast EMA |
| `slowLen` | 26 | MACD Slow EMA |
| `signalLen` | 9 | MACD Signal Line |
| `rsiLen` | 14 | RSI Period |
| `showLabels` | true | Show "Bullish Phase" / "Bearish Phase" labels |
> Standard settings — tweak for sensitivity.
---
## CORE CALCULATIONS
### 1. **MACD**
```pinescript
macdLine = ta.ema(close, fastLen) - ta.ema(close, slowLen)
signalLine = ta.ema(macdLine, signalLen)
hist = macdLine - signalLine
```
- `hist > 0` → **Bullish momentum**
- `hist < 0` → **Bearish momentum**
### 2. **RSI**
```pinescript
rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)
```
- `rsi > 50` → **Bullish bias**
- `rsi < 50` → **Bearish bias**
---
## DUAL CONFIRMATION LOGIC
| Condition | Meaning |
|--------|--------|
| `bullCond = macdBull and rsiBull` | **MACD hist > 0** AND **RSI > 50** → **Confirmed Bullish** |
| `bearCond = macdBear and rsiBear` | **MACD hist < 0** AND **RSI < 50** → **Confirmed Bearish** |
| Otherwise | **Neutral / Conflicted** |
> Only **strong, aligned signals** get bright colors.
---
## DYNAMIC INTENSITY & TRANSPARENCY (Key Feature)
```pinescript
maxHist = ta.highest(math.abs(hist), 100)
intensity = math.abs(hist) / maxHist
transp = 90 - (intensity * 80)
```
### How It Works:
1. Finds **strongest MACD histogram value** in last 100 bars
2. Compares **current histogram** to that peak → `intensity` (0 to 1)
3. **Transparency scales from 90 (faint) → 10 (bright)**
| Intensity | Transparency | Visual Effect |
|---------|--------------|-------------|
| 0% (weak) | 90 | Almost transparent |
| 50% | 50 | Medium |
| 100% | 10 | **Vivid, bold candle** |
> **Brighter candle = stronger momentum relative to recent history**
---
## CANDLE COLOR LOGIC
| Condition | Candle & Wick Color | Transparency |
|--------|---------------------|------------|
| **Confirmed Bullish** (`bullCond`) | **Lime Green** | Dynamic (10–90) |
| **Confirmed Bearish** (`bearCond`) | **Red** | Dynamic (10–90) |
| **Neutral / Conflicted** | **Gray** | Fixed 80 (faint) |
> **Wicks and borders match body** → full candle takeover
---
## VISUAL OUTPUT
### 1. **Custom Candles**
```pinescript
plotcandle(open, high, low, close, color=barColor, wickcolor=barColor, bordercolor=barColor)
```
- **Replaces default chart candles**
- **No original candles visible**
### 2. **Labels (Optional)**

Frequency Momentum Oscillator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Frequency Momentum Oscillator applies Fourier-based spectral analysis principles to price action to identify regime shifts and directional momentum. It calculates Fourier coefficients for selected harmonic frequencies on detrended price data, then measures the distribution of power across low, mid, and high frequency bands to distinguish between persistent directional trends and transient market noise. This approach provides traders with a quantitative framework for assessing whether current price action represents meaningful momentum or merely random fluctuations, enabling more informed entry and exit decisions across various asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation process removes the dominant trend from price data by subtracting a simple moving average, isolating cyclical components for frequency analysis:
detrendedPrice = close - ta.sma(close , frequencyPeriod)
The detrended price series undergoes frequency decomposition through Fourier coefficient calculation across the first 8 harmonics. For each harmonic frequency, the algorithm computes sine and cosine components across the lookback window, then derives power as the sum of squared coefficients:
for k = 1 to 8
cosSum = 0.0
sinSum = 0.0
for n = 0 to frequencyPeriod - 1
angle = 2 * math.pi * k * n / frequencyPeriod
cosSum := cosSum + detrendedPrice * math.cos(angle)
sinSum := sinSum + detrendedPrice * math.sin(angle)
power = (cosSum * cosSum + sinSum * sinSum) / frequencyPeriod
Power measurements are aggregated into three frequency bands: low frequencies (harmonics 1-2) capturing persistent cycles, mid frequencies (harmonics 3-4), and high frequencies (harmonics 5-8) representing noise. Each band's power normalizes against total spectral power to create percentage distributions:
lowFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (lowFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
highFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (highFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
The normalized frequency components undergo exponential smoothing before calculating spectral balance as the difference between low and high frequency power:
smoothLow = ta.ema(lowFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
smoothHigh = ta.ema(highFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
spectralBalance = smoothLow - smoothHigh
Spectral balance combines with price momentum through directional multiplication, producing a composite signal that integrates frequency characteristics with price direction:
momentum = ta.change(close , frequencyPeriod/2)
compositeSignal = spectralBalance * math.sign(momentum)
finalSignal = ta.ema(compositeSignal, smoothingPeriod)
The final signal oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating low-frequency dominance coupled with upward momentum (trending up), and negative values indicating either high-frequency dominance (choppy market) or downward momentum (trending down).
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
→ Long/Short Signals: the indicator generates long signals when the smoothed composite signal crosses above zero (indicating low-frequency directional strength dominates) and short signals when it crosses below zero (indicating bearish momentum persistence).
→ Upper and Lower Reference Lines: the +25 and -25 reference lines serve as threshold markers for momentum strength. Readings beyond these levels indicate strong directional conviction, while oscillations between them suggest consolidation or weakening momentum. These references help traders distinguish between strong trending regimes and choppy transitional periods.
→ Preconfigured Presets: three optimized configurations are available with Default (32, 3) offering balanced responsiveness, Fast Response (24, 2) designed for scalping and intraday trading, and Smooth Trend (40, 5) calibrated for swing trading and position trading with enhanced noise filtration.
→ Built-in Alerts: the indicator includes three alert conditions for automated monitoring - Long Signal (momentum shifts bullish), Short Signal (momentum shifts bearish), and Signal Change (any directional transition). These alerts enable traders to receive real-time notifications without continuous chart monitoring.
→ Color Customization: four visual themes (Classic green/red, Aqua blue/orange, Cosmic aqua/purple, Custom) allow chart customization for different display environments and personal preferences.

CandelaCharts - Trend Oscillator 📝 Overview
Trend Oscillator is a simple yet effective trend identification tool that uses the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine market direction. It calculates the spread between a fast and slow EMA, applies a bias multiplier, and smooths the result to produce a clean oscillator that oscillates above and below a zero line. When the oscillator is above zero, the trend is considered bullish (upward); when below zero, it's bearish (downward). The indicator provides clear visual feedback through color-coded plots and optional price bar coloring, making it easy to identify trend direction at a glance.
📦 Features
This section highlights the core capabilities you'll rely on most.
Dual EMA system — Uses a fast EMA (default 9) and slow EMA (default 21) to capture trend momentum and direction.
Bias multiplier — Applies a small multiplier (default 1.001) to the EMA spread, providing a slight bias that helps filter noise and confirm trend strength.
Smoothed output — Applies an additional EMA smoothing (default 5 periods) to the raw spread, creating a cleaner, less choppy oscillator line.
Zero-line reference — Plots a horizontal zero line that serves as the critical threshold between bullish and bearish conditions.
Color-coded visualization — Automatically colors the oscillator line green/lime when bullish (above zero) and red when bearish (below zero).
Price bar coloring — Optional feature to color price bars based on the current trend direction, providing immediate visual context on the main chart.
Customizable parameters — Adjust EMA lengths, bias multiplier, smoothing period, and colors to match your trading style and timeframe.
⚙️ Settings
Use these controls to fine-tune the oscillator's sensitivity, appearance, and behavior.
Fast EMA Length — Period for the fast exponential moving average (default: 9). Lower values make the indicator more responsive to price changes.
Slow EMA Length — Period for the slow exponential moving average (default: 21). Higher values create a smoother baseline for trend identification.
Bias Multiplier — Multiplier applied to the EMA spread (default: 1.001). Small adjustments can help filter minor whipsaws and confirm trend strength.
Smoothing Length — Period for smoothing the raw spread calculation (default: 5). Higher values create a smoother oscillator line but may lag price action.
Colors — Set the bullish (default: lime) and bearish (default: red) colors for the oscillator line.
Color Price Bars — Toggle to enable/disable coloring of price bars based on the current trend direction.

📒 Usage
Follow these steps to effectively use Trend Oscillator for trend identification and trading decisions.
1) Select your timeframe — The indicator works across all timeframes, but higher timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly) typically provide more reliable trend signals with less noise. Lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) may produce more frequent but potentially less reliable signals. Consider your trading style: swing traders benefit from daily/weekly charts, while day traders can use 15m/1h timeframes. Always align the indicator's sensitivity with your timeframe choice.
2) Adjust EMA lengths — The default 9/21 combination works well for most cases. For faster signals, try 5/13; for slower, more conservative signals, try 12/26 or 20/50. Match the lengths to your trading style and timeframe.
3) Interpret the zero line — When the oscillator is above zero (green/lime), the trend is bullish. When below zero (red), the trend is bearish. The further from zero, the stronger the trend.
4) Watch for crossovers — Trend changes occur when the oscillator crosses the zero line. A cross from below to above indicates a shift to bullish; from above to below indicates a shift to bearish.
5) Identify divergences — Divergences can signal potential trend reversals. Bullish divergence : price makes lower lows while the oscillator makes higher lows (suggests weakening bearish momentum). Bearish divergence : price makes higher highs while the oscillator makes lower highs (suggests weakening bullish momentum). Divergences are most reliable when they occur near extreme levels and should be confirmed with price action before taking trades.
6) Use smoothing wisely — The smoothing parameter helps reduce noise but adds lag. Lower smoothing (3-5) is more responsive; higher smoothing (7-10) is more stable but slower to react.
7) Combine with price action — Use the oscillator to confirm trend direction, then look for entry opportunities when price pulls back in the direction of the trend. The optional price bar coloring helps visualize trend alignment on the main chart.
8) Filter with bias multiplier — The bias multiplier can help reduce false signals. Experiment with values between 1.000 and 1.005 to find the sweet spot for your instrument and timeframe.

Average True Range with MAKey features
ATR calculation: true range (ta.tr(true)) is smoothed using a selectable method to produce the ATR.
ATR smoothing options: RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for the ATR calculation.
MA-on-ATR: a separate moving average computed on the ATR values with its own length and smoothing method.
Display controls: toggles to show/hide the ATR and the ATR MA independently.
Appearance controls: separate color inputs for the ATR and the ATR MA, and a thicker line for the MA (linewidth=2).
Inputs
ATR Length (default 14): length used to smooth true range into the ATR.
ATR Smoothing (default RMA): smoothing method applied to the true range to form ATR.
MA Length (on ATR) (default 14): length for the moving average applied to the ATR series.
MA Smoothing (default SMA): smoothing method used for the MA applied to ATR.
Show ATR / Show ATR MA: booleans to toggle visibility.
ATR Color / ATR MA Color: choose plot colors.
How to interpret
ATR line: shows current volatility (average true range). Rising ATR indicates increasing volatility; falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.
ATR MA line: smooths the ATR to reveal trend direction and reduce noise.
Use crossovers: ATR crossing above its MA may signal volatility is picking up; ATR crossing below its MA suggests volatility is subsiding.
Combine with price action or other indicators (e.g., breakout systems, position sizing rules) to make decisions based on volatility regime.

SP - MACD with DivergenceIdentifies Bullish and Bearish Divergences on any time frame.
Using with a combination of candlestick and a trend bias based on long term trend of the underlying can pic reversals quiet effectively.
Range Oascilator + LessDivergences + MACD+StochRSIRange Oscillator + EMA Filter
Calculates a custom oscillator based on the highest high and lowest low over a chosen period.
Generates BUY signals when the oscillator crosses up from the oversold zone and price is above the EMA.
Generates SELL signals when the oscillator crosses down from the overbought zone and price is below the EMA.
MACD (3‑10‑16 EMA Settings)
Uses fast EMA = 3, slow EMA = 10, signal EMA = 16.
Detects bullish and bearish crossovers.
These crossovers only trigger a single unified buy/sell signal if they coincide with Stochastic RSI being in oversold (for buy) or overbought (for sell) zones.
Stochastic RSI
Standard calculation with %K and %D smoothing.
Defines oversold (<20) and overbought (>80) zones.
Used both for divergence detection and as a filter for MACD signals.
Divergence Detection
RSI Divergence: Price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish), or price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high (bearish).
MACD Histogram Divergence: Price makes a lower low but MACD histogram makes a higher low (bullish), or price makes a higher high but MACD histogram makes a lower high (bearish).
Stochastic RSI Divergence: Similar logic applied to %K line.
Divergences are flagged only once per pivot to avoid repetitive signals.

Range Oscillator Strategy + Stoch Confirm🔹 Short summary
This is a free, educational long-only strategy built on top of the public “Range Oscillator” by Zeiierman (used under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0), combined with a Stochastic timing filter, an EMA-based exit filter and an optional risk-management layer (SL/TP and R-multiple exits). It is NOT financial advice and it is NOT a magic money machine. It’s a structured framework to study how range-expansion + momentum + trend slope can be combined into one rule-based system, often with intentionally RARE trades.
────────────────────────
0. Legal / risk disclaimer
────────────────────────
• This script is FREE and public. I do not charge any fee for it.
• It is for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
• It is NOT financial advice and does NOT guarantee profits.
• Backtest results can be very different from live results.
• Markets change over time; past performance is NOT indicative of future performance.
• You are fully responsible for your own trades and risk.
Please DO NOT use this script with money you cannot afford to lose. Always start in a demo / paper trading environment and make sure you understand what the logic does before you risk any capital.
────────────────────────
1. About default settings and risk (very important)
────────────────────────
The script is configured with the following defaults in the `strategy()` declaration:
• `initial_capital = 10000`
→ This is only an EXAMPLE account size.
• `default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity`
• `default_qty_value = 100`
→ This means 100% of equity per trade in the default properties.
→ This is AGGRESSIVE and should be treated as a STRESS TEST of the logic, not as a realistic way to trade.
TradingView’s House Rules recommend risking only a small part of equity per trade (often 1–2%, max 5–10% in most cases). To align with these recommendations and to get more realistic backtest results, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you to:
1. Open **Strategy Settings → Properties**.
2. Set:
• Order size: **Percent of equity**
• Order size (percent): e.g. **1–2%** per trade
3. Make sure **commission** and **slippage** match your own broker conditions.
• By default this script uses `commission_value = 0.1` (0.1%) and `slippage = 3`, which are reasonable example values for many crypto markets.
If you choose to run the strategy with 100% of equity per trade, please treat it ONLY as a stress-test of the logic. It is NOT a sustainable risk model for live trading.
────────────────────────
2. What this strategy tries to do (conceptual overview)
────────────────────────
This is a LONG-ONLY strategy designed to explore the combination of:
1. **Range Oscillator (Zeiierman-based)**
- Measures how far price has moved away from an adaptive mean.
- Uses an ATR-based range to normalize deviation.
- High positive oscillator values indicate strong price expansion away from the mean in a bullish direction.
2. **Stochastic as a timing filter**
- A classic Stochastic (%K and %D) is used.
- The logic requires %K to be below a user-defined level and then crossing above %D.
- This is intended to catch moments when momentum turns up again, rather than chasing every extreme.
3. **EMA Exit Filter (trend slope)**
- An EMA with configurable length (default 70) is calculated.
- The slope of the EMA is monitored: when the slope turns negative while in a long position, and the filter is enabled, it triggers an exit condition.
- This acts as a trend-protection exit: if the medium-term trend starts to weaken, the strategy exits even if the oscillator has not yet fully reverted.
4. **Optional risk-management layer**
- Percentage-based Stop Loss and Take Profit (SL/TP).
- Risk/Reward (R-multiple) exit based on the distance from entry to SL.
- Implemented as OCO orders that work *on top* of the logical exits.
The goal is not to create a “holy grail” system but to serve as a transparent, configurable framework for studying how these concepts behave together on different markets and timeframes.
────────────────────────
3. Components and how they work together
────────────────────────
(1) Range Oscillator (based on “Range Oscillator (Zeiierman)”)
• The script computes a weighted mean price and then measures how far price deviates from that mean.
• Deviation is normalized by an ATR-based range and expressed as an oscillator.
• When the oscillator is above the **entry threshold** (default 100), it signals a strong move away from the mean in the bullish direction.
• When it later drops below the **exit threshold** (default 30), it can trigger an exit (if enabled).
(2) Stochastic confirmation
• Classic Stochastic (%K and %D) is calculated.
• An entry requires:
- %K to be below a user-defined “Cross Level”, and
- then %K to cross above %D.
• This is a momentum confirmation: the strategy tries to enter when momentum turns up from a pullback rather than at any random point.
(3) EMA Exit Filter
• The EMA length is configurable via `emaLength` (default 70).
• The script monitors the EMA slope: it computes the relative change between the current EMA and the previous EMA.
• If the slope turns negative while the strategy holds a long position and the filter is enabled, it triggers an exit condition.
• This is meant to help protect profits or cut losses when the medium-term trend starts to roll over, even if the oscillator conditions are not (yet) signalling exit.
(4) Risk management (optional)
• Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Defined as percentages relative to average entry price.
- Both are disabled by default, but you can enable them in the Inputs.
• Risk/Reward Exit:
- Uses the distance from entry to SL to project a profit target at a configurable R-multiple.
- Also optional and disabled by default.
These exits are implemented as `strategy.exit()` OCO orders and can close trades independently of oscillator/EMA conditions if hit first.
────────────────────────
4. Entry & Exit logic (high level)
────────────────────────
A) Time filter
• You can choose a **Start Year** in the Inputs.
• Only candles between the selected start date and 31 Dec 2069 are used for backtesting (`timeCondition`).
• This prevents accidental use of tiny cherry-picked windows and makes tests more honest.
B) Entry condition (long-only)
A long entry is allowed when ALL the following are true:
1. `timeCondition` is true (inside the backtest window).
2. If `useOscEntry` is true:
- Range Oscillator value must be above `entryLevel`.
3. If `useStochEntry` is true:
- Stochastic condition (`stochCondition`) must be true:
- %K < `crossLevel`, then %K crosses above %D.
If these filters agree, the strategy calls `strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)`.
C) Exit condition (logical exits)
A position can be closed when:
1. `timeCondition` is true AND a long position is open, AND
2. At least one of the following is true:
- If `useOscExit` is true: Oscillator is below `exitLevel`.
- If `useMagicExit` (EMA Exit Filter) is true: EMA slope is negative (`isDown = true`).
In that case, `strategy.close("Long")` is called.
D) Risk-management exits
While a position is open:
• If SL or TP is enabled:
- `strategy.exit("Long Risk", ...)` places an OCO stop/limit order based on the SL/TP percentages.
• If Risk/Reward exit is enabled:
- `strategy.exit("RR Exit", ...)` places an OCO order using a projected R-multiple (`rrMult`) of the SL distance.
These risk-based exits can trigger before the logical oscillator/EMA exits if price hits those levels.
────────────────────────
5. Recommended backtest configuration (to avoid misleading results)
────────────────────────
To align with TradingView House Rules and avoid misleading backtests:
1. **Initial capital**
- 10 000 (or any value you personally want to work with).
2. **Order size**
- Type: **Percent of equity**
- Size: **1–2%** per trade is a reasonable starting point.
- Avoid risking more than 5–10% per trade if you want results that could be sustainable in practice.
3. **Commission & slippage**
- Commission: around 0.1% if that matches your broker.
- Slippage: a few ticks (e.g. 3) to account for real fills.
4. **Timeframe & markets**
- Volatile symbols (e.g. crypto like BTCUSDT, or major indices).
- Timeframes: 1H / 4H / **1D (Daily)** are typical starting points.
- I strongly recommend trying the strategy on **different timeframes**, for example 1D, to see how the behaviour changes between intraday and higher timeframes.
5. **No “caution warning”**
- Make sure your chosen symbol + timeframe + settings do not trigger TradingView’s caution messages.
- If you see warnings (e.g. “too few trades”), adjust timeframe/symbol or the backtest period.
────────────────────────
5a. About low trade count and rare signals
────────────────────────
This strategy is intentionally designed to trade RARELY:
• It is **long-only**.
• It uses strict filters (Range Oscillator threshold + Stochastic confirmation + optional EMA Exit Filter).
• On higher timeframes (especially **1D / Daily**) this can result in a **low total number of trades**, sometimes WELL BELOW 100 trades over the whole backtest.
TradingView’s House Rules mention 100+ trades as a guideline for more robust statistics. In this specific case:
• The **low trade count is a conscious design choice**, not an attempt to cherry-pick a tiny, ultra-profitable window.
• The goal is to study a **small number of high-conviction long entries** on higher timeframes, not to generate frequent intraday signals.
• Because of the low trade count, results should NOT be interpreted as statistically strong or “proven” – they are only one sample of how this logic would have behaved on past data.
Please keep this in mind when you look at the equity curve and performance metrics. A beautiful curve with only a handful of trades is still just a small sample.
────────────────────────
6. How to use this strategy (step-by-step)
────────────────────────
1. Add the script to your chart.
2. Open the **Inputs** tab:
- Set the backtest start year.
- Decide whether to use Oscillator-based entry/exit, Stochastic confirmation, and EMA Exit Filter.
- Optionally enable SL, TP, and Risk/Reward exits.
3. Open the **Properties** tab:
- Set a realistic account size if you want.
- Set order size to a realistic % of equity (e.g. 1–2%).
- Confirm that commission and slippage are realistic for your broker.
4. Run the backtest:
- Look at Net Profit, Max Drawdown, number of trades, and equity curve.
- Remember that a low trade count means the statistics are not very strong.
5. Experiment:
- Tweak thresholds (`entryLevel`, `exitLevel`), Stochastic settings, EMA length, and risk params.
- See how the metrics and trade frequency change.
6. Forward-test:
- Before using any idea in live trading, forward-test on a demo account and observe behaviour in real time.
────────────────────────
7. Originality and usefulness (why this is more than a mashup)
────────────────────────
This script is not intended to be a random visual mashup of indicators. It is designed as a coherent, testable strategy with clear roles for each component:
• Range Oscillator:
- Handles mean vs. range-expansion states via an adaptive, ATR-normalized metric.
• Stochastic:
- Acts as a timing filter to avoid entering purely on extremes and instead waits for momentum to turn.
• EMA Exit Filter:
- Trend-slope-based safety net to exit when the medium-term direction changes against the position.
• Risk module:
- Provides practical, rule-based exits: SL, TP, and R-multiple exit, which are useful for structuring risk even if you modify the core logic.
It aims to give traders a ready-made **framework to study and modify**, not a black box or “signals” product.
────────────────────────
8. Limitations and good practices
────────────────────────
• No single strategy works on all markets or in all regimes.
• This script is long-only; it does not short the market.
• Performance can degrade when market structure changes.
• Overfitting (curve fitting) is a real risk if you endlessly tweak parameters to maximise historical profit.
Good practices:
- Test on multiple symbols and timeframes.
- Focus on stability and drawdown, not only on how high the profit line goes.
- View this as a learning tool and a basis for your own research.

────────────────────────
11. Example backtest settings used in screenshots
────────────────────────
To avoid any confusion about how the results shown in screenshots were produced, here is one concrete example configuration:
• Symbol: BTCUSDT (or similar major BTC pair)
• Timeframe: 1D (Daily)
• Backtest period: from 2018 to the most recent data
• Initial capital: 10 000
• Order size type: Percent of equity
• Order size: 2% per trade
• Commission: 0.1%
• Slippage: 3 ticks
• Risk settings: Stop Loss and Take Profit disabled by default, Risk/Reward exit disabled by default
• Filters: Range Oscillator entry/exit enabled, Stochastic confirmation enabled, EMA Exit Filter enabled
If you change any of these settings (symbol, timeframe, risk per trade, commission, slippage, filters, etc.), your results will look different. Please always adapt the configuration to your own risk tolerance, market, and trading style.

## 📊 How It Works
DAO calculates the ratio of buying pressure to total market pressure:
1. **Calculate Buying Pressure (DemandMax):**
- If current high > previous high: DemandMax = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMax = 0
2. **Calculate Selling Pressure (DemandMin):**
- If previous low > current low: DemandMin = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMin = 0
3. **Apply Smoothing:**
- Calculate SMA of DemandMax over N periods
- Calculate SMA of DemandMin over N periods
4. **Final Formula:**
```
DAO = SMA(DemandMax) / (SMA(DemandMax) + SMA(DemandMin))
```
This produces a normalized value (0-1) representing market demand strength.

Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator is an oscillator based on the Trendlines with Breaks indicator, and tracks the maximum distance on price from bullish and bearish trendline breakouts.
The oscillator features divergences and trendline breakout detection.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on our Trendlines with Breaks indicator, which detects bullish and bearish trendlines and highlights the breaks on the chart. Now, we bring you this tool as an oscillator.
The oscillator calculates the maximum distance between the price and the break of each trendline, for both bullish and bearish cases, then calculates the delta between both.
When the oscillator is above 0, the market is in an uptrend; when it is below 0, it is in a downtrend. An ascending slope indicates positive momentum, and a descending slope indicates negative momentum.
Trendline breaks are displayed as green and red dots on the oscillator. A green dot corresponds to a bullish break of a descending trendline, and a red dot corresponds to a bearish break of an ascending trendline.
The oscillator calculation depends on two parameters from the settings panel: short and long alpha length. These parameters are used to calculate a synthetic EMA with a variable alpha for both bullish and bearish breaks. The final result is the difference between the two averages.
As shown in the image, using the same trend detection parameters but different alphas can produce very different results. The larger the alphas, the smoother the oscillator becomes, detecting bigger trends but making it less reactive.
This tool features the same trendline detection system as the Trendlines with Breaks indicator, which is based on three main parameters: swing length, slope, and calculation method.
As we can see in the image above, the data collected for the oscillator calculation will be different when using different parameters. A larger length detects larger trends. A larger slope or a different calculation method also impacts the final result.
🔹 Signal Line
The signal line is a smoothed version of the oscillator; traders can choose the smoothing method and length used from the settings panel.
In the image, the signal line crossings are displayed as vertical lines. As we can see, the market usually corrects downward after a bearish crossing and corrects upward after a bullish crossing.
Traders can choose among 10 different smoothing methods for the signal line. In the image, we can see how different methods and lengths give different outputs.
🔹 Divergences
The tool features a divergence detector that helps traders understand the strength behind price movements. Traders can adjust the detection length from the settings panel.
As shown in the image, a bearish divergence occurs when the price prints higher highs, but the momentum on the histogram prints lower highs. A bullish divergence occurs when the price prints lower lows, but the histogram prints higher lows.
By adjusting the length of the divergence detector, traders can filter out smaller divergences, allowing the tool to only detect more significant ones.
The image above depicts divergences detected with different lengths; the larger the length, the bigger the divergences are detected.

Squeeze Momentum Early In and Out CandlesJohn Carter presented some candles called "Early In and Out Candles". Although I couldn't imitate the exact candles and warnings I create better indications and bars in my opinion.
When the Candles are above Donchian MA then we have a bullish Momentum.
When the Candles are bellow Donchian MA then we have bearish momentum.
This indicator works best to get an WARNING to enter and close EARLY positions.
Bullish:
When the candles are Light Blue then we have early warning to enter.
When the candles are Dark Blue then we have early warning to close the position.
Bearish:
When the candles are Red then we have early warning to enter.
When the candles are Yellow then we have early warning to close the position.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Always combine it with the Squeeze Pro indicator.
Suggested Donchian MA: 5 (You can adjust it).
Don't let candles only to be your closing indication once again there are EARLY WARNINGS therefore can move your stop loses to maximize your profits when you are exiting.
I tested my self and I found that is the best strategy when we get Dark Blue candle in the Bullish move I move my stop loss little bit bellow the candle.
Therefore here we go we have early warnings for In and Out.
Thank you and Good Luck.
Algorithm Predator - ML-liteAlgorithm Predator - ML-lite
This indicator combines four specialized trading agents with an adaptive multi-armed bandit selection system to identify high-probability trade setups. It is designed for swing and intraday traders who want systematic signal generation based on institutional order flow patterns , momentum exhaustion , liquidity dynamics , and statistical mean reversion .
Core Architecture
Why These Components Are Combined:
The script addresses a fundamental challenge in algorithmic trading: no single detection method works consistently across all market conditions. By deploying four independent agents and using reinforcement learning algorithms to select or blend their outputs, the system adapts to changing market regimes without manual intervention.
The Four Trading Agents
1. Spoofing Detector Agent 🎭
Detects iceberg orders through persistent volume at similar price levels over 5 bars
Identifies spoofing patterns via asymmetric wick analysis (wicks exceeding 60% of bar range with volume >1.8× average)
Monitors order clustering using simplified Hawkes process intensity tracking (exponential decay model)
Signal Logic: Contrarian—fades false breakouts caused by institutional manipulation
Best Markets: Consolidations, institutional trading windows, low-liquidity hours
2. Exhaustion Detector Agent ⚡
Calculates RSI divergence between price movement and momentum indicator over 5-bar window
Detects VWAP exhaustion (price at 2σ bands with declining volume)
Uses VPIN reversals (volume-based toxic flow dissipation) to identify momentum failure
Signal Logic: Counter-trend—enters when momentum extreme shows weakness
Best Markets: Trending markets reaching climax points, over-extended moves
3. Liquidity Void Detector Agent 💧
Measures Bollinger Band squeeze (width <60% of 50-period average)
Identifies stop hunts via 20-bar high/low penetration with immediate reversal and volume spike
Detects hidden liquidity absorption (volume >2× average with range <0.3× ATR)
Signal Logic: Breakout anticipation—enters after liquidity grab but before main move
Best Markets: Range-bound pre-breakout, volatility compression zones
4. Mean Reversion Agent 📊
Calculates price z-scores relative to 50-period SMA and standard deviation (triggers at ±2σ)
Implements Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process scoring (mean-reverting stochastic model)
Uses entropy analysis to detect algorithmic trading patterns (low entropy <0.25 = high predictability)
Signal Logic: Statistical reversion—enters when price deviates significantly from statistical equilibrium
Best Markets: Range-bound, low-volatility, algorithmically-dominated instruments
Adaptive Selection: Multi-Armed Bandit System
The script implements four reinforcement learning algorithms to dynamically select or blend agents based on performance:
Thompson Sampling (Default - Recommended):
Uses Bayesian inference with beta distributions (tracks alpha/beta parameters per agent)
Balances exploration (trying underused agents) vs. exploitation (using proven winners)
Each agent's win/loss history informs its selection probability
Lite Approximation: Uses pseudo-random sampling from price/volume noise instead of true random number generation
UCB1 (Upper Confidence Bound):
Calculates confidence intervals using: average_reward + sqrt(2 × ln(total_pulls) / agent_pulls)
Deterministic algorithm favoring agents with high uncertainty (potential upside)
More conservative than Thompson Sampling
Epsilon-Greedy:
Exploits best-performing agent (1-ε)% of the time
Explores randomly ε% of the time (default 10%, configurable 1-50%)
Simple, transparent, easily tuned via epsilon parameter
Gradient Bandit:
Uses softmax probability distribution over agent preference weights
Updates weights via gradient ascent based on rewards
Best for Blend mode where all agents contribute
Selection Modes:
Switch Mode: Uses only the selected agent's signal (clean, decisive)
Blend Mode: Combines all agents using exponentially weighted confidence scores controlled by temperature parameter (smooth, diversified)
Lock Agent Feature:
Optional manual override to force one specific agent
Useful after identifying which agent dominates your specific instrument
Only applies in Switch mode
Four choices: Spoofing Detector, Exhaustion Detector, Liquidity Void, Mean Reversion
Memory System
Dual-Layer Architecture:
Short-Term Memory: Stores last 20 trade outcomes per agent (configurable 10-50)
Long-Term Memory: Stores episode averages when short-term reaches transfer threshold (configurable 5-20 bars)
Memory Boost Mechanism: Recent performance modulates agent scores by up to ±20%
Episode Transfer: When an agent accumulates sufficient results, averages are condensed into long-term storage
Persistence: Manual restoration of learned parameters via input fields (alpha, beta, weights, microstructure thresholds)
How Memory Works:
Agent generates signal → outcome tracked after 8 bars (performance horizon)
Result stored in short-term memory (win = 1.0, loss = 0.0)
Short-term average influences agent's future scores (positive feedback loop)
After threshold met (default 10 results), episode averaged into long-term storage
Long-term patterns (weighted 30%) + short-term patterns (weighted 70%) = total memory boost
Market Microstructure Analysis
These advanced metrics quantify institutional order flow dynamics:
Order Flow Toxicity (Simplified VPIN):
Measures buy/sell volume imbalance over 20 bars: |buy_vol - sell_vol| / (buy_vol + sell_vol)
Detects informed trading activity (institutional players with non-public information)
Values >0.4 indicate "toxic flow" (informed traders active)
Lite Approximation: Uses simple open/close heuristic instead of tick-by-tick trade classification
Price Impact Analysis (Simplified Kyle's Lambda):
Measures market impact efficiency: |price_change_10| / sqrt(volume_sum_10)
Low values = large orders with minimal price impact ( stealth accumulation )
High values = retail-dominated moves with high slippage
Lite Approximation: Uses simplified denominator instead of regression-based signed order flow
Market Randomness (Entropy Analysis):
Counts unique price changes over 20 bars / 20
Measures market predictability
High entropy (>0.6) = human-driven, chaotic price action
Low entropy (<0.25) = algorithmic trading dominance (predictable patterns)
Lite Approximation: Simple ratio instead of true Shannon entropy H(X) = -Σ p(x)·log₂(p(x))
Order Clustering (Simplified Hawkes Process):
Tracks self-exciting event intensity (coordinated order activity)
Decays at 0.9× per bar, spikes +1.0 when volume >1.5× average
High intensity (>0.7) indicates clustering (potential spoofing/accumulation)
Lite Approximation: Simple exponential decay instead of full λ(t) = μ + Σ α·exp(-β(t-tᵢ)) with MLE
Signal Generation Process
Multi-Stage Validation:
Stage 1: Agent Scoring
Each agent calculates internal score based on its detection criteria
Scores must exceed agent-specific threshold (adjusted by sensitivity multiplier)
Agent outputs: Signal direction (+1/-1/0) and Confidence level (0.0-1.0)
Stage 2: Memory Boost
Agent scores multiplied by memory boost factor (0.8-1.2 based on recent performance)
Successful agents get amplified, failing agents get dampened
Stage 3: Bandit Selection/Blending
If Adaptive Mode ON:
Switch: Bandit selects single best agent, uses only its signal
Blend: All agents combined using softmax-weighted confidence scores
If Adaptive Mode OFF:
Traditional consensus voting with confidence-squared weighting
Signal fires when consensus exceeds threshold (default 70%)
Stage 4: Confirmation Filter
Raw signal must repeat for consecutive bars (default 3, configurable 2-4)
Minimum confidence threshold: 0.25 (25%) enforced regardless of mode
Trend alignment check: Long signals require trend_score ≥ -2, Short signals require trend_score ≤ 2
Stage 5: Cooldown Enforcement
Minimum bars between signals (default 10, configurable 5-15)
Prevents over-trading during choppy conditions
Stage 6: Performance Tracking
After 8 bars (performance horizon), signal outcome evaluated
Win = price moved in signal direction, Loss = price moved against
Results fed back into memory and bandit statistics

What Makes This Original
This script's originality lies in three key innovations:
1. Genuine Meta-Learning Framework:
Unlike traditional indicator mashups that simply display multiple signals, this implements authentic reinforcement learning (multi-armed bandits) to learn which detection method works best in current conditions. The Thompson Sampling implementation with beta distribution tracking (alpha for successes, beta for failures) is statistically rigorous and adapts continuously. This is not post-hoc optimization—it's real-time learning.
2. Episodic Memory Architecture with Transfer Learning:
The dual-layer memory system mimics human learning patterns:
Short-term memory captures recent performance (recency bias)
Long-term memory preserves historical patterns (experience)
Automatic transfer mechanism consolidates knowledge
Memory boost creates positive feedback loops (successful strategies become stronger)
This architecture allows the system to adapt without retraining , unlike static ML models that require batch updates.
3. Institutional Microstructure Integration:
Combines retail-focused technical analysis (RSI, Bollinger Bands, VWAP) with institutional-grade microstructure metrics (VPIN, Kyle's Lambda, Hawkes processes) typically found in academic finance literature and professional trading systems, not standard retail platforms. While simplified for Pine Script constraints, these metrics provide insight into informed vs. uninformed trading , a dimension entirely absent from traditional technical analysis.
Mashup Justification:
The four agents are combined specifically for risk diversification across failure modes:
Spoofing Detector: Prevents false breakout losses from manipulation
Exhaustion Detector: Prevents chasing extended trends into reversals
Liquidity Void: Exploits volatility compression (different regime than trending)
Mean Reversion: Provides mathematical anchoring when patterns fail
The bandit system ensures the optimal tool is automatically selected for each market situation, rather than requiring manual interpretation of conflicting signals.
Why "ML-lite"? Simplifications and Approximations
This is the "lite" version due to necessary simplifications for Pine Script execution:
1. Simplified VPIN Calculation:
Academic Implementation: True VPIN uses volume bucketing (fixed-volume bars) and tick-by-tick buy/sell classification via Lee-Ready algorithm or exchange-provided trade direction flags
This Implementation: 20-bar rolling window with simple open/close heuristic (close > open = buy volume)
Impact: May misclassify volume during ranging/choppy markets; works best in directional moves
2. Pseudo-Random Sampling:
Academic Implementation: Thompson Sampling requires true random number generation from beta distributions using inverse transform sampling or acceptance-rejection methods
This Implementation: Deterministic pseudo-randomness derived from price and volume decimal digits: (close × 100 - floor(close × 100)) + (volume % 100) / 100
Impact: Not cryptographically random; may have subtle biases in specific price ranges; provides sufficient variation for agent selection
3. Hawkes Process Approximation:
Academic Implementation: Full Hawkes process uses maximum likelihood estimation with exponential kernels: λ(t) = μ + Σ α·exp(-β(t-tᵢ)) fitted via iterative optimization
This Implementation: Simple exponential decay (0.9 multiplier) with binary event triggers (volume spike = event)
Impact: Captures self-exciting property but lacks parameter optimization; fixed decay rate may not suit all instruments
4. Kyle's Lambda Simplification:
Academic Implementation: Estimated via regression of price impact on signed order flow over multiple time intervals: Δp = λ × Δv + ε
This Implementation: Simplified ratio: price_change / sqrt(volume_sum) without proper signed order flow or regression
Impact: Provides directional indicator of impact but not true market depth measurement; no statistical confidence intervals
5. Entropy Calculation:
Academic Implementation: True Shannon entropy requires probability distribution: H(X) = -Σ p(x)·log₂(p(x)) where p(x) is probability of each price change magnitude
This Implementation: Simple ratio of unique price changes to total observations (variety measure)
Impact: Measures diversity but not true information entropy with probability weighting; less sensitive to distribution shape
6. Memory System Constraints:
Full ML Implementation: Neural networks with backpropagation, experience replay buffers (storing state-action-reward tuples), gradient descent optimization, and eligibility traces
This Implementation: Fixed-size array queues with simple averaging; no gradient-based learning, no state representation beyond raw scores
Impact: Cannot learn complex non-linear patterns; limited to linear performance tracking
7. Limited Feature Engineering:
Advanced Implementation: Dozens of engineered features, polynomial interactions (x², x³), dimensionality reduction (PCA, autoencoders), feature selection algorithms
This Implementation: Raw agent scores and basic market metrics (RSI, ATR, volume ratio); minimal transformation
Impact: May miss subtle cross-feature interactions; relies on agent-level intelligence rather than feature combinations
8. Single-Instrument Data:
Full Implementation: Multi-asset correlation analysis (sector ETFs, currency pairs, volatility indices like VIX), lead-lag relationships, risk-on/risk-off regimes
This Implementation: Only OHLCV data from displayed instrument
Impact: Cannot incorporate broader market context; vulnerable to correlated moves across assets
9. Fixed Performance Horizon:
Full Implementation: Adaptive horizon based on trade duration, volatility regime, or profit target achievement
This Implementation: Fixed 8-bar evaluation window
Impact: May evaluate too early in slow markets or too late in fast markets; one-size-fits-all approach
Performance Impact Summary:
These simplifications make the script:
✅ Faster: Executes in milliseconds vs. seconds (or minutes) for full academic implementations
✅ More Accessible: Runs on any TradingView plan without external data feeds, APIs, or compute servers
✅ More Transparent: All calculations visible in Pine Script (no black-box compiled models)
✅ Lower Resource Usage: <500 bars lookback, minimal memory footprint
⚠️ Less Precise: Approximations may reduce statistical edge by 5-15% vs. academic implementations
⚠️ Limited Scope: Cannot capture tick-level dynamics, multi-order-book interactions, or cross-asset flows
⚠️ Fixed Parameters: Some thresholds hardcoded rather than dynamically optimized
When to Upgrade to Full Implementation:
Consider professional Python/C++ versions with institutional data feeds if:
Trading with >$100K capital where precision differences materially impact returns
Operating in microsecond-competitive environments (HFT, market making)
Requiring regulatory-grade audit trails and reproducibility
Backtesting with tick-level precision for strategy validation
Need true real-time adaptation with neural network-based learning
For retail swing/day trading and position management, these approximations provide sufficient signal quality while maintaining usability, transparency, and accessibility. The core logic—multi-agent detection with adaptive selection—remains intact.
Technical Notes
All calculations use standard Pine Script built-in functions ( ta.ema, ta.atr, ta.rsi, ta.bb, ta.sma, ta.stdev, ta.vwap )
VPIN and Kyle's Lambda use simplified formulas optimized for OHLCV data (see "Lite" section above)
Thompson Sampling uses pseudo-random noise from price/volume decimal digits for beta distribution sampling
No repainting: All calculations use confirmed bar data (no forward-looking)
Maximum lookback: 500 bars (set via max_bars_back parameter)
Performance evaluation: 8-bar forward-looking window for reward calculation (clearly disclosed)
Confidence threshold: Minimum 0.25 (25%) enforced on all signals
Memory arrays: Dynamic sizing with FIFO queue management
Limitations and Disclaimers
Not Predictive: This indicator identifies patterns in historical data. It cannot predict future price movements with certainty.
Requires Human Judgment: Signals are entry triggers, not complete trading strategies. Must be confirmed with your own analysis, risk management rules, and market context.
Learning Period Required: The adaptive system requires 50-100 bars minimum to build statistically meaningful performance data for bandit algorithms.
Overfitting Risk: Restoring memory parameters from one market regime to a drastically different regime (e.g., low volatility to high volatility) may cause poor initial performance until system re-adapts.
Approximation Limitations: Simplified calculations (see "Lite" section) may underperform academic implementations by 5-15% in highly efficient markets.
No Guarantee of Profit: Past performance, whether backtested or live-traded, does not guarantee future performance. All trading involves risk of loss.
Forward-Looking Bias: Performance evaluation uses 8-bar forward window—this creates slight look-ahead for learning (though not for signals). Real-time performance may differ from indicator's internal statistics.
Single-Instrument Limitation: Does not account for correlations with related assets or broader market regime changes.
Recommended Settings
Timeframe: 15-minute to 4-hour charts (sufficient volatility for ATR-based stops; adequate bar volume for learning)
Assets: Liquid instruments with >100k daily volume (forex majors, large-cap stocks, BTC/ETH, major indices)
Not Recommended: Illiquid small-caps, penny stocks, low-volume altcoins (microstructure metrics unreliable)
Complementary Tools: Volume profile, order book depth, market breadth indicators, fundamental catalysts
Position Sizing: Risk no more than 1-2% of capital per signal using ATR-based stop-loss
Signal Filtering: Consider external confluence (support/resistance, trendlines, round numbers, session opens)
Start With: Balanced mode, Thompson Sampling, Blend mode, default agent sensitivities (1.0)
After 30+ Signals: Review agent win rates, consider increasing sensitivity of top performers or locking to dominant agent
Alert Configuration
The script includes built-in alert conditions:
Long Signal: Fires when validated long entry confirmed
Short Signal: Fires when validated short entry confirmed
Alerts fire once per bar (after confirmation requirements met)
Set alert to "Once Per Bar Close" for reliability

Market Profile Dominance Analyzer# Market Profile Dominance Analyzer
## 📊 OVERVIEW
**Market Profile Dominance Analyzer** is an advanced multi-factor indicator that combines Market Profile methodology with composite dominance scoring to identify buyer and seller strength across higher timeframes. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that only show volume distribution, or simple buyer/seller indicators that only compare candle colors, this script integrates six distinct analytical components into a unified dominance measurement system.
This indicator helps traders understand **WHO controls the market** by analyzing price position relative to Market Profile key levels (POC, Value Area) combined with volume distribution, momentum, and trend characteristics.
## 🎯 WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
### **Hybrid Analytical Approach**
This indicator uniquely combines two separate methodologies that are typically analyzed independently:
1. **Market Profile Analysis** - Calculates Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) using volume distribution across price channels on higher timeframes
2. **Multi-Factor Dominance Scoring** - Weights six independent factors to produce a composite dominance index
### **Six-Factor Composite Analysis**
The dominance score integrates:
- Price position relative to POC (equilibrium assessment)
- Price position relative to Value Area boundaries (acceptance/rejection zones)
- Volume imbalance within Value Area (institutional bias detection)
- Price momentum (directional strength)
- Volume trend comparison (participation analysis)
- Normalized Value Area position (precise location within fair value zone)
### **Adaptive Higher Timeframe Integration**
The script features an intelligent auto-selection system that automatically chooses appropriate higher timeframes based on the current chart period, ensuring optimal Market Profile structure regardless of the trading timeframe being analyzed.
## 💡 HOW IT WORKS
### **Market Profile Construction**
The indicator builds a Market Profile structure on a higher timeframe by:
1. **Session Identification** - Detects new higher timeframe sessions using `request.security()` to ensure accurate period boundaries
2. **Data Accumulation** - Stores high, low, and volume data for all bars within the current higher timeframe session
3. **Channel Distribution** - Divides the session's price range into configurable channels (default: 20 rows)
4. **Volume Mapping** - Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across all price channels it touched
### **Key Level Calculation**
**Point of Control (POC)**
- Identifies the price channel with the highest accumulated volume
- Represents the price level where the most trading activity occurred
- Serves as a magnetic level where price often returns
**Value Area (VA)**
- Starts at POC and expands both upward and downward
- Includes channels until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default: 70%)
- Expansion algorithm compares adjacent volumes and prioritizes the direction with higher activity
- Defines the "fair value" zone where most market participants agreed to trade
### **Dominance Score Formula**
```
Dominance Score = (price_vs_poc × 10) +
(price_vs_va × 5) +
(volume_imbalance × 0.5) +
(price_momentum × 100) +
(volume_trend × 5) +
(va_position × 15)
```
**Component Breakdown:**
- **price_vs_poc**: +1 if above POC, -1 if below (shows which side of equilibrium)
- **price_vs_va**: +2 if above VAH, -2 if below VAL, 0 if inside VA
- **volume_imbalance**: Percentage difference between upper and lower VA volumes
- **price_momentum**: 5-period SMA of price change (directional acceleration)
- **volume_trend**: Compares 5-period vs 20-period volume averages
- **va_position**: Normalized position within Value Area (-1 to +1)
The composite score is then smoothed using EMA with configurable sensitivity to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness.
### **Market State Determination**
- **BUYERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance > +10 (bullish control)
- **SELLERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance < -10 (bearish control)
- **NEUTRAL**: Between -10 and +10 (balanced market)
## 📈 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### **Trend Identification**
- **Green background** indicates buyers are in control - look for long opportunities
- **Red background** indicates sellers are in control - look for short opportunities
- **Gray background** indicates neutral market - consider range-bound strategies
### **Signal Interpretation**
**Buy Signals** (green triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses above -10 from oversold conditions
- Previous state was not already bullish
- Suggests shift from seller to buyer control
**Sell Signals** (red triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses below +10 from overbought conditions
- Previous state was not already bearish
- Suggests shift from buyer to seller control
### **Value Area Context**
Monitor the information table (top-right) to understand market structure:
- **Price vs POC**: Shows if trading above/below equilibrium
- **Volume Imbalance**: Positive values favor buyers, negative favors sellers
- **Market State**: Current dominant force (BUYERS/SELLERS/NEUTRAL)
### **Multi-Timeframe Strategy**
The auto-timeframe feature analyzes higher timeframe structure:
- On 1-minute charts → analyzes 2-hour structure
- On 5-minute charts → analyzes Daily structure
- On 15-minute charts → analyzes Weekly structure
- On Daily charts → analyzes Yearly structure
This higher timeframe context helps avoid counter-trend trades against the dominant force.
### **Confluence Trading**
Strongest signals occur when multiple factors align:
1. Price above VAH + positive volume imbalance + buyers dominant = Strong bullish setup
2. Price below VAL + negative volume imbalance + sellers dominant = Strong bearish setup
3. Price at POC + neutral state = Potential breakout/breakdown pivot
## ⚙️ INPUT PARAMETERS
- **Higher Time Frame**: Select specific HTF or use 'Auto' for intelligent selection
- **Value Area %**: Percentage of volume contained in VA (default: 70%)
- **Show Buy/Sell Signals**: Toggle signal triangles visibility
- **Show Dominance Histogram**: Toggle histogram display
- **Signal Sensitivity**: EMA period for dominance smoothing (1-20, default: 5)
- **Number of Channels**: Market Profile resolution (10-50, default: 20)
- **Color Settings**: Customize buyer, seller, and neutral colors
## 🎨 VISUAL ELEMENTS
- **Histogram**: Shows smoothed dominance score (green = buyers, red = sellers)
- **Zero Line**: Neutral equilibrium reference
- **Overbought/Oversold Lines**: ±50 levels marking extreme dominance
- **Background Color**: Highlights current market state
- **Information Table**: Displays key metrics (state, dominance, POC relationship, volume imbalance, timeframe, bars in session, total volume)
- **Signal Shapes**: Triangle markers for buy/sell signals
## 🔔 ALERTS
The indicator includes three alert conditions:
1. **Buyers Dominate** - Fires on buy signal crossovers
2. **Sellers Dominate** - Fires on sell signal crossovers
3. **Dominance Shift** - Fires when dominance crosses zero line
## 📊 BEST PRACTICES
### **Timeframe Selection**
- **Scalping (1-5min)**: Focus on 2H-4H dominance shifts
- **Day Trading (15-60min)**: Monitor Daily and Weekly structure
- **Swing Trading (4H-Daily)**: Track Weekly and Monthly dominance
### **Confirmation Strategies**
1. **Trend Following**: Enter in direction of dominance above/below ±20
2. **Reversal Trading**: Fade extreme readings beyond ±50 when diverging with price
3. **Breakout Trading**: Look for dominance expansion beyond ±30 with increasing volume
### **Risk Management**
- Avoid trading during NEUTRAL states (dominance between -10 and +10)
- Use POC levels as logical stop-loss placement
- Consider VAH/VAL as profit targets for mean reversion
## ⚠️ LIMITATIONS & WARNINGS
**Data Requirements**
- Requires sufficient historical data on current chart (minimum 100 bars recommended)
- Lower timeframes may show fewer bars per HTF session initially
- More accurate results after several complete HTF sessions have formed
**Not a Standalone System**
- This indicator analyzes market structure and participant control
- Should be combined with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
- Does not guarantee profitable trades - past dominance does not predict future results
**Repainting Characteristics**
- Higher timeframe levels (POC, VAH, VAL) update as new bars form within the session
- Dominance score recalculates with each new bar
- Historical signals remain fixed, but current session data is developing
**Volume Limitations**
- Uses exchange-provided volume data which varies by instrument type
- Forex and some CFDs use tick volume (not actual transaction volume)
- Most accurate on instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
## 🔍 TECHNICAL NOTES
**Performance Optimization**
- Uses `max_bars_back=5000` for extended historical analysis
- Efficient array management prevents memory issues
- Automatic cleanup of session data on new period
**Calculation Method**
- Market Profile uses actual volume distribution, not TPO (Time Price Opportunity)
- Value Area expansion follows traditional Market Profile auction theory
- All calculations occur on the chart's current symbol and timeframe
## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator helps traders understand:
- How institutional traders use Market Profile to identify fair value
- The relationship between price, volume, and market acceptance
- Multi-factor analysis techniques for assessing market conditions
- The importance of higher timeframe structure in trade planning

## 💬 USAGE TERMS
This indicator is provided as an educational and analytical tool. It does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals. Users are responsible for their own trading decisions and should conduct their own research and due diligence.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Alpha-Weighted RSIDescription:
The Alpha-Weighted RSI is a next-generation momentum oscillator that redefines the classic RSI by incorporating the mathematical principles of Lévy Flight. This advanced adaptation applies non-linear weighting to price changes, making the indicator more sensitive to significant market moves and less reactive to minor noise. It is designed for traders seeking a clearer, more powerful view of momentum and potential reversal zones.
🔍 Key Features & Innovations:
Lévy Flight Alpha Weighting: At the core of this indicator is the Alpha parameter (1.0-2.0), which controls the sensitivity to price changes.
Lower Alpha (e.g., 1.2): Makes the indicator highly responsive to recent price movements, ideal for capturing early trend shifts.
Higher Alpha (e.g., 1.8): Creates a smoother, more conservative output that filters out noise, focusing on stronger momentum.
Customizable Smoothing: The raw Lévy-RSI is smoothed by a user-selectable moving average (8 MA types supported: SMA, EMA, SMMA, etc.), allowing for further customization of responsiveness.
Intuitive Centered Oscillator: The RSI is centered around a zero line, providing a clean visual separation between bullish and bearish territory.
Dynamic Gradient Zones: Subtle, colour coded gradient fills in the overbought (>+25) and oversold (<-25) regions enhance visual clarity without cluttering the chart.
Modern Histogram Display: Momentum is plotted as a sleek histogram that changes color between bright cyan (bullish) and magenta (bearish) based on its position relative to the zero line.
🎯 How to Use & Interpret:
Zero-Line Crossovers: The most basic signals. A crossover above the zero line indicates building bullish momentum, while a crossover below suggests growing bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Use the +25/-25 and +35/-35 levels as dynamic zones. A reading above +25 suggests strong bullish momentum (overbought), while a reading below -25 indicates strong bearish momentum (oversold).
Divergence Detection: Look for divergences between the Alpha-Weighted RSI and price action. For example, if price makes a new low but the RSI forms a higher low, it can signal a potential bullish reversal.
Alpha Tuning: Adjust the Alpha parameter to match market volatility. In choppy markets, increase alpha to reduce noise. In trending markets, decrease alpha to become more responsive.
⚙️ Input Parameters:
RSI Settings: Standard RSI inputs for Length and Calculation Source.
Lévy Flight Settings: The crucial Alpha factor for response control.
MA Settings: MA Type and MA Length for smoothing the final output.
By applying Lévy Flight dynamics, this indicator offers a nuanced perspective on momentum, helping you stay ahead of the curve. Feedback is always welcome!
Luminous Glide Momentum Indicator [wjdtks255]This indicator, named "Customized SuperSmoother MA Oscillator," applies a smoothing filter to price data using a SuperSmoother technique to reduce noise and enhance signal clarity. It calculates two moving averages on the smoothed data—a fast and a slow—whose difference forms the oscillator line. A signal line is derived by smoothing the oscillator with another moving average. The histogram visualizes the divergence between the oscillator and signal lines, indicating momentum strength and direction.
How it works
SuperSmoother Filter: Reduces price noise to provide smoother and more reliable signals than raw data.
Fast and Slow Moving Averages: The fast MA reacts quicker to price changes, while the slow MA indicates longer trends.
Oscillator: The difference between the fast and slow MAs signals shifts in momentum.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the oscillator used to generate crossovers.
Histogram: Displays the distance between the oscillator and signal line, with color changes indicating bullish or bearish momentum.
Trading Strategy
Buy Signal: When the oscillator crosses above the signal line, it suggests increasing upward momentum, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Signal: When the oscillator crosses below the signal line, it suggests increasing downward momentum, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
Histogram Size and Color: Larger green bars indicate stronger bullish momentum; larger red bars indicate stronger bearish momentum.
Usage Tips
Combine this oscillator with other indicators or price action analysis to confirm trading signals.
Adjust smoothing and moving average lengths according to your trading timeframe and the asset volatility.
Use proper risk management to filter out potential false signals common in oscillators.
