Smarter Money Flow Divergence Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Flow Divergence Detector
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
SMFD was developed to help give you guys a better ability to “read” what is going on behind the scenes without directly having access to that level of data. SMFD is an enhanced divergence detection indicator that identifies money flow patterns from advanced volume analysis and price action correspondence. The detection portion of this indicator combines intelligent money flow calculations with multi timeframe volume analysis to help you see hidden accumulation and distribution phases before major price movements occur.
The indicator measures institutional trading activity by looking at volume surges, price volume dynamics, and the factors of momentum to construct an overall picture of market sentiment. It’s built to assist traders in identifying high probability entries by identifying if smart money is positioning against price action.

Momentum Indicator (MOM)
MACD Breakout SuperCandlesMACD Breakout SuperCandles
The MACD Breakout SuperCandles indicator is a candle-coloring tool that monitors trend alignment across multiple timeframes using a combination of MACD behavior and simple price structure. It visually reflects market sentiment directly on price candles, helping traders quickly recognize shifting momentum conditions.
How It Works
The script evaluates trend behavior based on:
- Multi-timeframe MACD Analysis: Uses MACD values and signal line relationships to gauge trend direction and strength.
- Price Relative to SMA Zones: Analyzes whether price is positioned above or below the 20-period high and low SMAs on each timeframe.
For each timeframe, the script assigns one of five possible trend statuses:
- SUPERBULL: Strong bullish MACD signal with price above both SMAs.
- Bullish: Bullish MACD crossover with price showing upward bias.
- Basing: MACD flattening or neutralizing near zero with no directional dominance.
- Bearish: Bearish MACD signal without confirmation of stronger trend.
- SUPERBEAR: Strong bearish MACD signal with price below both SMAs.
-Ghost Candles: Candles with basing attributes that can signal directional change or trend strength.
Signal Scoring System
The script compares conditions across four timeframes:
- TF1 (Short)
- TF2 (Medium)
- TF3 (Long)
- MACD at a fixed 10-minute resolution
Each status type is tracked independently. A colored candle is only applied when a status type (e.g., SUPERBULL) reaches the minimum match threshold, defined by the "Min Status Matches for Candle Color" setting. If no status meets the required threshold, the candle is displayed in a neutral "Ghost" color.
Customizable Visuals
The indicator offers full control over candle appearance via grouped settings:
Body Colors
- SUPERBULL Body
- Bullish Body
- Basing Body
- Bearish Body
- SUPERBEAR Body
- Ghost Candle Body (used when no match)
Border & Wick Colors
- SUPERBULL Border/Wick
- Bullish Border/Wick
- Basing Border/Wick
- Bearish Border/Wick
- SUPERBEAR Border/Wick
- Ghost Border/Wick
Colors are grouped by function and can be adjusted independently to match your chart theme or personal preferences.
Settings Overview
- TF1, TF2, TF3: Select short, medium, and long timeframes to monitor trend structure.
- Min Status Matches: Set how many timeframes must agree before a candle status is applied.
- MACD Settings: Customize MACD fast, slow, and signal lengths, and choose MA type (EMA, SMA, WMA).
This tool helps visualize how aligned various timeframe conditions are by embedding sentiment into the candles themselves. It can assist with trend identification, momentum confirmation, or visual filtering for discretionary strategies.
Magnificent 7 OscillatorThe Magnificent 7 Oscillator is a sophisticated momentum-based technical indicator designed to analyze the collective performance of the seven largest technology companies in the U.S. stock market (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Meta). This indicator incorporates established momentum factor research and provides three distinct analytical modes: absolute momentum tracking, equal-weighted market comparison, and relative performance analysis. The tool integrates five different oscillator methodologies and includes advanced breadth analysis capabilities.
Theoretical Foundation
Momentum Factor Research
The indicator's foundation rests on seminal momentum research in financial markets. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) demonstrated that stocks with strong price performance over 3-12 month periods tend to continue outperforming in subsequent periods¹. This momentum effect was later incorporated into formal factor models by Carhart (1997), who extended the Fama-French three-factor model to include a momentum factor (UMD - Up Minus Down)².
The momentum calculation methodology follows the academic standard:
Momentum(t) = / P(t-n) × 100
Where P(t) is the current price and n is the lookback period.
The focus on the "Magnificent 7" stocks reflects the increasing market concentration observed in recent years. Fama and French (2015) noted that a small number of large-cap stocks can drive significant market movements due to their substantial index weights³. The combined market capitalization of these seven companies often exceeds 25% of the total S&P 500, making their collective momentum a critical market indicator.
Indicator Architecture
Core Components
1. Data Collection and Processing
The indicator employs robust data collection with error handling for missing or invalid security data. Each stock's momentum is calculated independently using the specified lookback period (default: 14 periods).
2. Composite Oscillator Calculation
Following Fama-French factor construction methodology, the indicator offers two weighting schemes:
- Equal Weight: Each active stock receives identical weighting (1/n)
- Market Cap Weight: Reserved for future enhancement
3. Oscillator Transformation Functions
The indicator provides five distinct oscillator types, each with established technical analysis foundations:
a) Momentum Oscillator (Default)
- Pure rate-of-change calculation
- Centered around zero
- Direct implementation of Jegadeesh & Titman methodology
b) RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- Wilder's (1978) relative strength methodology
- Transformed to center around zero for consistency
- Scale: -50 to +50
c) Stochastic Oscillator
- George Lane's %K methodology
- Measures current position within recent range
- Transformed to center around zero
d) Williams %R
- Larry Williams' range-based oscillator
- Inverse stochastic calculation
- Adjusted for zero-centered display
e) CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
- Donald Lambert's mean reversion indicator
- Measures deviation from moving average
- Scaled for optimal visualization
Operational Modes
Mode 1: Magnificent 7 Analysis
Tracks the collective momentum of the seven constituent stocks. This mode is optimal for:
- Technology sector analysis
- Growth stock momentum assessment
- Large-cap performance tracking
Mode 2: S&P 500 Equal Weight Comparison
Analyzes momentum using an equal-weighted S&P 500 reference (typically RSP ETF). This mode provides:
- Broader market momentum context
- Size-neutral market analysis
- Comparison baseline for relative performance
Mode 3: Relative Performance Analysis
Calculates the momentum differential between Magnificent 7 and S&P 500 Equal Weight. This mode enables:
- Sector rotation analysis
- Style factor assessment (Growth vs. Value)
- Relative strength identification
Formula: Relative Performance = MAG7_Momentum - SP500EW_Momentum
Signal Generation and Thresholds
Signal Classification
The indicator generates three signal states:
- Bullish: Oscillator > Upper Threshold (default: +2.0%)
- Bearish: Oscillator < Lower Threshold (default: -2.0%)
- Neutral: Oscillator between thresholds
Relative Performance Signals
In relative performance mode, specialized thresholds apply:
- Outperformance: Relative momentum > +1.0%
- Underperformance: Relative momentum < -1.0%
Alert System
Comprehensive alert conditions include:
- Threshold crossovers (bullish/bearish signals)
- Zero-line crosses (momentum direction changes)
- Relative performance shifts
- Breadth Analysis Component
The indicator incorporates market breadth analysis, calculating the percentage of constituent stocks with positive momentum. This feature provides insights into:
- Strong Breadth (>60%): Broad-based momentum
- Weak Breadth (<40%): Narrow momentum leadership
- Mixed Breadth (40-60%): Neutral momentum distribution
Visual Design and User Interface
Theme-Adaptive Display
The indicator automatically adjusts color schemes for dark and light chart themes, ensuring optimal visibility across different user preferences.
Professional Data Table
A comprehensive data table displays:
- Current oscillator value and percentage
- Active mode and oscillator type
- Signal status and strength
- Component breakdowns (in relative performance mode)
- Breadth percentage
- Active threshold levels
Custom Color Options
Users can override default colors with custom selections for:
- Neutral conditions (default: Material Blue)
- Bullish signals (default: Material Green)
- Bearish signals (default: Material Red)
Practical Applications
Portfolio Management
- Sector Allocation: Use relative performance mode to time technology sector exposure
- Risk Management: Monitor breadth deterioration as early warning signal
- Entry/Exit Timing: Utilize threshold crossovers for position sizing decisions
Market Analysis
- Trend Identification: Zero-line crosses indicate momentum regime changes
- Divergence Analysis: Compare MAG7 performance against broader market
- Volatility Assessment: Oscillator range and frequency provide volatility insights
Strategy Development
- Factor Timing: Implement growth factor timing strategies
- Momentum Strategies: Develop systematic momentum-based approaches
- Risk Parity: Use breadth metrics for risk-adjusted portfolio construction
Configuration Guidelines
Parameter Selection
- Momentum Period (5-100): Shorter periods (5-20) for tactical analysis, longer periods (50-100) for strategic assessment
- Smoothing Period (1-50): Higher values reduce noise but increase lag
- Thresholds: Adjust based on historical volatility and strategy requirements
Timeframe Considerations
- Daily Charts: Optimal for swing trading and medium-term analysis
- Weekly Charts: Suitable for long-term trend analysis
- Intraday Charts: Useful for short-term tactical decisions
Limitations and Considerations
Market Concentration Risk
The indicator's focus on seven stocks creates concentration risk. During periods of significant rotation away from large-cap technology stocks, the indicator may not represent broader market conditions.
Momentum Persistence
While momentum effects are well-documented, they are not permanent. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) noted momentum reversal effects over longer time horizons (2-5 years).
Correlation Dynamics
During market stress, correlations among the constituent stocks may increase, reducing the diversification benefits and potentially amplifying signal intensity.
Performance Metrics and Backtesting
The indicator includes hidden plots for comprehensive backtesting:
- Individual stock momentum values
- Composite breadth percentage
- S&P 500 Equal Weight momentum
- Relative performance calculations
These metrics enable quantitative strategy development and historical performance analysis.

CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot🎯 CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot
📊 Overview
The Counter-Directional-Pivot (CDP) indicator calculates five critical price levels based on the previous day's OHLC data, specifically designed for multi-timeframe analysis. Unlike standard pivot points, CDP levels are calculated using a unique formula that identifies potential reversal zones where price action often changes direction.
⚡ What Makes This Script Original
This implementation solves several technical challenges that existing pivot indicators face:
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Consistency: Values remain identical across all timeframes (1m, 5m, 1h, daily) - a common problem with many pivot implementations
🔒 Intraday Stability: Uses advanced value-locking technology to prevent the "stepping" effect that occurs when pivot lines shift during the trading session
💪 Robust Data Handling: Optimized for both liquid and illiquid stocks with enhanced data synchronization
🧮 CDP Calculation Formula
The indicator calculates five key levels using the previous day's High (H), Low (L), and Close (C):
CDP = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 (Central Decision Point)
AH = 2×CDP + H – 2×L (Anchor High - Strong Resistance)
NH = 2×CDP – L (Near High - Moderate Resistance)
AL = 2×CDP – 2×H + L (Anchor Low - Strong Support)
NL = 2×CDP – H (Near Low - Moderate Support)

Market Arterial PressureIndicator Description: Pulse-Market – Market Blood Pressure
"I slept and had a dream."
In that dream, I wore a white lab coat and shiny black pointed shoes. I felt like a doctor—not of traditional medicine, but of the financial market itself. My mission was clear: to measure the market's blood pressure and diagnose its health.
With this vision, I decided to turn the dream into code. Thus, Pulse-Market was born: an indicator designed to listen to the heartbeat of the blockchain, capturing signs of vitality or collapse, and anticipating the pulse of the next trend.
But the journey did not stop there. At the core of this creation, I incorporated a profound theory: the cycle of existence — Alpha, Beta, and Omega — concepts that resonate both in science and sacred scriptures.
Alpha (α) represents the beginning: the primary impulse, the market's accelerated pulse.
Beta (β) symbolizes the middle: the vital rhythm, the stabilizing cadence of prices.
Omega (Ω) indicates the end: structural collapse, the exhaustion of a cycle.
This logical and symbolic triad forms the foundation of Pulse-Market — the beginning, middle, and end of every market cycle.
How to Use the Indicator
Pulse-Market works as a dynamic oscillator composed of three main forces:
Alpha Pulse (α)
Measures recent price acceleration. The stronger the pulse, the more intense the market movement.
Beta Rhythm (β)
Controls the smoothing of the price rhythm and can be adjusted in four modes:
Fast – quick reactions with more sensitivity
Normal – standard smoothing (simple moving average)
Slow – slow and consistent movements
Accelerated – Hull method: reactive and smooth
Omega Collapse (Ω)
Combines entropy and reversals to detect structural collapses where the market may be losing strength.
Visual Interpretation
Green line above zero: healthy pulse, buying pressure in control.
Red line below zero: strong selling pressure, possible exhaustion.
Crossing the zero line: potential trend reversal.
Settings and Customization
In the indicator settings panel, you can calibrate the pressure reading sensitivity:
Systolic Pressure (α): controls the reaction to rapid price impulses.
Increase to highlight aggressive moves; decrease to smooth spikes.
Diastolic Pressure (β): regulates the importance of the underlying rhythm.
Increase for smooth trends; decrease for quicker responses.
Pulse Pressure (Ω): sensitivity to structural collapses and volatility.
Increase to detect reversals; decrease to ignore market noise.
Practical Applications
Confirm entry and exit signals based on the balance between Alpha and Omega.
Adjust the indicator to your trading style: scalper, day trader, or swing trader.
Use on any asset: cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices, forex.
Integrated Philosophy
We live limited by time and matter, but markets, like life, follow natural cycles: they are born, mature, collapse, and are reborn.
Pulse-Market is not just a technical indicator — it is a spiritual and analytical stethoscope that listens to the heartbeat of volatility and tries to anticipate what the eyes cannot see, but time always reveals.
Original Creator
This indicator was created by Canhoto-Medium, the sole inventor and namer of this tool. As long as time goes on, no other indicator will exist with this essence or name.
Market Pulse ProMarket Pulse Pro (Pulse‑X) — User Guide
Market Pulse Pro, also known as Pulse‑X, is an advanced momentum indicator that combines SMI, Stochastic RSI, and a smoothed signal line to identify zones of buying and selling strength in the market. It is designed to assess the balance of power between bulls and bears with clear visualizations.
How It Works
The indicator calculates three main components:
SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index) – measures price position relative to its recent range.
Stochastic RSI – captures overbought/oversold extremes of the RSI.
Smoothed Signal Line – based on closing price, smoothed using various methods (such as HMA, EMA, etc.).
Each component is normalized to create two final values:
Bull Herd (Buying Strength) – green line.
Bear Winter (Selling Strength) – red line.
Interpretation
Bull Herd (high green values): Bulls dominate the market. May indicate the start or continuation of an uptrend.
Bear Winter (high red values): Bears dominate. May indicate reversal or continuation of a downtrend.
Convergence around 50%: Market is balanced. Signals are weaker or indecisive.
Tip: Combine with price action analysis or support/resistance levels to confirm entries.
Customizable Settings
You can adjust:
SMI Period, Smooth K, and D – control the sensitivity of the SMI.
RSI Period – sets the RSI calculation window.
Signal Period – period for the price-based signal line.
Smoothing Methods – choose between HMA, EMA, WMA, JMA, SMMA, etc.
Line Width – thickness of the plotted lines.
Note: The JMA (Jurik Moving Average) used in this script is not the original proprietary version.
It is a custom public version, based on open-source code shared by the TradingView community.
The original JMA is copyrighted and owned by Jurik Research.
How to Use It in Practice
Buy Entries
When the green Bull Herd line crosses above 60 and the red Bear Winter line falls below 40.
Entry is more reliable if the green line is rising steadily.
Sell Entries
When the red Bear Winter line crosses above 60 and the green Bull Herd line falls.
Signals are stronger when there is a clear crossover and divergence between the two lines.
Avoid trading near the neutral zone (~50%), where the market shows indecision.
Additional Tips
Combine with volume analysis or reversal candlestick patterns for higher accuracy.
Test different smoothing methods: HMA is more responsive, SMMA is smoother and slower.
Fear-Greed ThermometerFear-Greed Thermometer
This indicator measures market sentiment between fear and greed by combining three key factors: volatility, average volume, and percentage price change. Each factor is normalized and averaged to produce an index ranging from 0 to 100 that reflects the overall level of market fear or greed.
How to use:
Index above 50: Indicates greed dominance. The market tends to be more optimistic, signaling potential bullish conditions or overbought levels.
Index below 50: Indicates fear dominance. The market is more cautious or pessimistic, pointing to potential bearish conditions or oversold levels.
Neutral line (50): Acts as a reference for transitions between fear and greed phases.
Features:
Dynamic background: The chart background changes color according to sentiment — green for greed, red for fear — making it easy to visually gauge the index.
Customizable: Adjust the calculation periods for volatility, volume, and price change to fit your analysis style.
Tips:
Use alongside other technical tools to confirm entry and exit points.
Watch for divergences between the index and price to anticipate possible reversals.
Monitoring extreme levels can help identify market turning points.
This indicator is not a buy or sell recommendation but an additional tool to help understand the overall market sentiment.
Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator# Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator (RAMO): Momentum Analysis with Integrated Risk Assessment
## 1. Introduction
Momentum indicators have been fundamental tools in technical analysis since the pioneering work of Wilder (1978) and continue to play crucial roles in systematic trading strategies (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993). However, traditional momentum oscillators suffer from a critical limitation: they fail to account for the risk context in which momentum signals occur. This oversight can lead to significant drawdowns during periods of market stress, as documented extensively in the behavioral finance literature (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Shefrin & Statman, 1985).
The Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator addresses this gap by incorporating real-time drawdown metrics into momentum calculations, creating a self-regulating system that automatically adjusts signal sensitivity based on current risk conditions. This approach aligns with modern portfolio theory's emphasis on risk-adjusted returns (Markowitz, 1952) and reflects the sophisticated risk management practices employed by institutional investors (Ang, 2014).
## 2. Theoretical Foundation
### 2.1 Momentum Theory and Market Anomalies
The momentum effect, first systematically documented by Jegadeesh & Titman (1993), represents one of the most robust anomalies in financial markets. Subsequent research has confirmed momentum's persistence across various asset classes, time horizons, and geographic markets (Fama & French, 1996; Asness, Moskowitz & Pedersen, 2013). However, momentum strategies are characterized by significant time-varying risk, with particularly severe drawdowns during market reversals (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
### 2.2 Drawdown Analysis and Risk Management
Maximum drawdown, defined as the peak-to-trough decline in portfolio value, serves as a critical risk metric in professional portfolio management (Calmar, 1991). Research by Chekhlov, Uryasev & Zabarankin (2005) demonstrates that drawdown-based risk measures provide superior downside protection compared to traditional volatility metrics. The integration of drawdown analysis into momentum calculations represents a natural evolution toward more sophisticated risk-aware indicators.
### 2.3 Adaptive Smoothing and Market Regimes
The concept of adaptive smoothing in technical analysis draws from the broader literature on regime-switching models in finance (Hamilton, 1989). Perry Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (1995) pioneered the application of efficiency ratios to adjust indicator responsiveness based on market conditions. RAMO extends this concept by incorporating volatility-based adaptive smoothing, allowing the indicator to respond more quickly during high-volatility periods while maintaining stability during quiet markets.
## 3. Methodology
### 3.1 Core Algorithm Design
The RAMO algorithm consists of several interconnected components:
#### 3.1.1 Risk-Adjusted Momentum Calculation
The fundamental innovation of RAMO lies in its risk adjustment mechanism:
Risk_Factor = 1 - (Current_Drawdown / Maximum_Drawdown × Scaling_Factor)
Risk_Adjusted_Momentum = Raw_Momentum × max(Risk_Factor, 0.05)
This formulation ensures that momentum signals are dampened during periods of high drawdown relative to historical maximums, implementing an automatic risk management overlay as advocated by modern portfolio theory (Markowitz, 1952).
#### 3.1.2 Multi-Algorithm Momentum Framework
RAMO supports three distinct momentum calculation methods:
1. Rate of Change: Traditional percentage-based momentum (Pring, 2002)
2. Price Momentum: Absolute price differences
3. Log Returns: Logarithmic returns preferred for volatile assets (Campbell, Lo & MacKinlay, 1997)
This multi-algorithm approach accommodates different asset characteristics and volatility profiles, addressing the heterogeneity documented in cross-sectional momentum studies (Asness et al., 2013).
### 3.2 Leading Indicator Components
#### 3.2.1 Momentum Acceleration Analysis
The momentum acceleration component calculates the second derivative of momentum, providing early signals of trend changes:
Momentum_Acceleration = EMA(Momentum_t - Momentum_{t-n}, n)
This approach draws from the physics concept of acceleration and has been applied successfully in financial time series analysis (Treadway, 1969).
#### 3.2.2 Linear Regression Prediction
RAMO incorporates linear regression-based prediction to project momentum values forward:
Predicted_Momentum = LinReg_Value + (LinReg_Slope × Forward_Offset)
This predictive component aligns with the literature on technical analysis forecasting (Lo, Mamaysky & Wang, 2000) and provides leading signals for trend changes.
#### 3.2.3 Volume-Based Exhaustion Detection
The exhaustion detection algorithm identifies potential reversal points by analyzing the relationship between momentum extremes and volume patterns:
Exhaustion = |Momentum| > Threshold AND Volume < SMA(Volume, 20)
This approach reflects the established principle that sustainable price movements require volume confirmation (Granville, 1963; Arms, 1989).
### 3.3 Statistical Normalization and Robustness
RAMO employs Z-score normalization with outlier protection to ensure statistical robustness:
Z_Score = (Value - Mean) / Standard_Deviation
Normalized_Value = max(-3.5, min(3.5, Z_Score))
This normalization approach follows best practices in quantitative finance for handling extreme observations (Taleb, 2007) and ensures consistent signal interpretation across different market conditions.
### 3.4 Adaptive Threshold Calculation
Dynamic thresholds are calculated using Bollinger Band methodology (Bollinger, 1992):
Upper_Threshold = Mean + (Multiplier × Standard_Deviation)
Lower_Threshold = Mean - (Multiplier × Standard_Deviation)
This adaptive approach ensures that signal thresholds adjust to changing market volatility, addressing the critique of fixed thresholds in technical analysis (Taylor & Allen, 1992).
## 4. Implementation Details
### 4.1 Adaptive Smoothing Algorithm
The adaptive smoothing mechanism adjusts the exponential moving average alpha parameter based on market volatility:
Volatility_Percentile = Percentrank(Volatility, 100)
Adaptive_Alpha = Min_Alpha + ((Max_Alpha - Min_Alpha) × Volatility_Percentile / 100)
This approach ensures faster response during volatile periods while maintaining smoothness during stable conditions, implementing the adaptive efficiency concept pioneered by Kaufman (1995).
### 4.2 Risk Environment Classification
RAMO classifies market conditions into three risk environments:
- Low Risk: Current_DD < 30% × Max_DD
- Medium Risk: 30% × Max_DD ≤ Current_DD < 70% × Max_DD
- High Risk: Current_DD ≥ 70% × Max_DD
This classification system enables conditional signal generation, with long signals filtered during high-risk periods—a approach consistent with institutional risk management practices (Ang, 2014).
## 5. Signal Generation and Interpretation
### 5.1 Entry Signal Logic
RAMO generates enhanced entry signals through multiple confirmation layers:
1. Primary Signal: Crossover between indicator and signal line
2. Risk Filter: Confirmation of favorable risk environment for long positions
3. Leading Component: Early warning signals via acceleration analysis
4. Exhaustion Filter: Volume-based reversal detection
This multi-layered approach addresses the false signal problem common in traditional technical indicators (Brock, Lakonishok & LeBaron, 1992).
### 5.2 Divergence Analysis
RAMO incorporates both traditional and leading divergence detection:
- Traditional Divergence: Price and indicator divergence over 3-5 periods
- Slope Divergence: Momentum slope versus price direction
- Acceleration Divergence: Changes in momentum acceleration
This comprehensive divergence analysis framework draws from Elliott Wave theory (Prechter & Frost, 1978) and momentum divergence literature (Murphy, 1999).
## 6. Empirical Advantages and Applications
### 6.1 Risk-Adjusted Performance
The risk adjustment mechanism addresses the fundamental criticism of momentum strategies: their tendency to experience severe drawdowns during market reversals (Daniel & Moskowitz, 2016). By automatically reducing position sizing during high-drawdown periods, RAMO implements a form of dynamic hedging consistent with portfolio insurance concepts (Leland, 1980).
### 6.2 Regime Awareness
RAMO's adaptive components enable regime-aware signal generation, addressing the regime-switching behavior documented in financial markets (Hamilton, 1989; Guidolin, 2011). The indicator automatically adjusts its parameters based on market volatility and risk conditions, providing more reliable signals across different market environments.
### 6.3 Institutional Applications
The sophisticated risk management overlay makes RAMO particularly suitable for institutional applications where drawdown control is paramount. The indicator's design philosophy aligns with the risk budgeting approaches used by hedge funds and institutional investors (Roncalli, 2013).
## 7. Limitations and Future Research
### 7.1 Parameter Sensitivity
Like all technical indicators, RAMO's performance depends on parameter selection. While default parameters are optimized for broad market applications, asset-specific calibration may enhance performance. Future research should examine optimal parameter selection across different asset classes and market conditions.
### 7.2 Market Microstructure Considerations
RAMO's effectiveness may vary across different market microstructure environments. High-frequency trading and algorithmic market making have fundamentally altered market dynamics (Aldridge, 2013), potentially affecting momentum indicator performance.
### 7.3 Transaction Cost Integration
Future enhancements could incorporate transaction cost analysis to provide net-return-based signals, addressing the implementation shortfall documented in practical momentum strategy applications (Korajczyk & Sadka, 2004).

Cumulative Intraday Volume with Long/Short LabelsThis indicator calculates a running total of volume for each trading day, then shows on the price chart when that total crosses levels you choose. Every day at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, the total goes back to zero so it always reflects only the current day’s activity. From that moment on, each time a new candle appears the indicator looks at whether the candle closed higher than it opened or lower. If it closed higher, the candle’s volume is added to the running total; if it closed lower, the same volume amount is subtracted. As a result, the total becomes positive when buyers have dominated so far today and negative when sellers have dominated.
Because futures markets close at 6 PM ET, the running total resets exactly then, mirroring the way most intraday traders think in terms of a single session. Throughout the day, you will see this running total move up or down according to whether more volume is happening on green or red candles. Once the total goes above a number you specify (for example, one hundred thousand contracts), the indicator will place a small “Long” label at that candle on the main price chart to let you know buying pressure has reached that level. Similarly, once the total goes below a negative number you choose (for example, minus one hundred thousand), a “Short” label will appear at that candle to signal that selling pressure has reached your chosen threshold. You can set these threshold numbers to whatever makes sense for your trading style or the market you follow.
Because raw volume alone never turns negative, this design uses candle direction as a sign. Green candles (where the close is higher than the open) add volume, and red candles (where the close is lower than the open) subtract volume. Summing those signed volume values tells you in a single number whether buying or selling has been stronger so far today. That number resets every evening, so it does not carry over any buying or selling from previous sessions.
Once you have this indicator on your chart, you simply watch the “summed volume” line as it moves throughout the day. If it climbs past your long threshold, you know buyers are firmly in control and a long entry might make sense. If it falls past your short threshold, you know sellers are firmly in control and a short entry might make sense. In quieter markets or times of low volume, you might use a smaller threshold so that even modest buying or selling pressure will trigger a label. During very active periods, a larger threshold will prevent too many signals when volume spikes frequently.
This approach is straightforward but can be surprisingly powerful. It does not rely on complex formulas or hidden statistical measures. Instead, it simply adds and subtracts daily volume based on candle color, then alerts you when that total reaches levels you care about. Over several years of historical testing, this formula has shown an ability to highlight moments when intraday sentiment shifts decisively from buyers to sellers or vice versa. Because the indicator resets every day at 6 PM, it always reflects only today’s sentiment and remains easy to interpret without carrying over past data. You can use it on any intraday timeframe, but it works especially well on five-minute or fifteen-minute charts for futures contracts.
If you want a clear gauge of whether buyers or sellers are dominating in real time, and you prefer a rule-based method rather than a complex model, this indicator gives you exactly that. It shows net buying or selling pressure at a glance, resets each session like most intraday traders do, and marks the moments when that pressure crosses the levels you decide are important. By combining a daily reset with signed volume, you get a single number that tells you precisely what the crowd is doing at any given moment, without any of the guesswork or hidden calculations that more complicated indicators often carry.

Uptrick: Z-Trend BandsOverview
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands is a Pine Script overlay crafted to capture high-probability mean-reversion opportunities. It dynamically plots upper and lower statistical bands around an EMA baseline by converting price deviations into z-scores. Once price moves outside these bands and then reenters, the indicator verifies that momentum is genuinely reversing via an EMA-smoothed RSI slope. Signal memory ensures only one entry per momentum swing, and traders receive clear, real-time feedback through customizable bar-coloring modes, a semi-transparent fill highlighting the statistical zone, concise “Up”/“Down” labels, and a live five-metric scoring table.
Introduction
Markets often oscillate between trending and reverting, and simple thresholds or static envelopes frequently misfire when volatility shifts. Standard deviation quantifies how “wide” recent price moves have been, and a z-score transforms each deviation into a measure of how rare it is relative to its own history. By anchoring these bands to an exponential moving average, the script maintains a fluid statistical envelope that adapts instantly to both calm and turbulent regimes. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tracks momentum; smoothing RSI with an EMA and observing its slope filters out erratic spikes, ensuring that only genuine momentum flips—upward for longs and downward for shorts—qualify.
Purpose
This indicator is purpose-built for short-term mean-reversion traders operating on lower–timeframe charts. It reveals when price has strayed into the outer 5 percent of its recent range, signaling an increased likelihood of a bounce back toward fair value. Rather than firing on price alone, it demands that momentum follow suit: the smoothed RSI slope must flip in the opposite direction before any trade marker appears. This dual-filter approach dramatically reduces noise-driven, false setups. Traders then see immediate visual confirmation—bar colors that reflect the latest signal and age over time, clear entry labels, and an always-visible table of metric scores—so they can gauge both the validity and freshness of each signal at a glance.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands stands apart from typical envelope or oscillator tools in four key ways. First, it employs fully normalized z-score bands, meaning ±2 always captures roughly the top and bottom 5 percent of moves, regardless of volatility regime. Second, it insists on two simultaneous conditions—price reentry into the bands and a confirming RSI slope flip—dramatically reducing whipsaw signals. Third, it uses slope-phase memory to lock out duplicate signals until momentum truly reverses again, enforcing disciplined entries. Finally, it offers four distinct bar-coloring schemes (solid reversal, fading reversal, exceeding bands, and classic heatmap) plus a dynamic scoring table, rather than a single, opaque alert, giving traders deep insight into every layer of analysis.
Why Each Component Was Picked
The EMA baseline was chosen for its blend of responsiveness—weighting recent price heavily—and smoothness, which filters market noise. Z-score deviation bands standardize price extremes relative to their own history, adapting automatically to shifting volatility so that “extreme” always means statistically rare. The RSI, smoothed with an EMA before slope calculation, captures true momentum shifts without the false spikes that raw RSI often produces. Slope-phase memory flags prevent repeated alerts within a single swing, curbing over-trading in choppy conditions. Bar-coloring modes provide flexible visual contexts—whether you prefer to track the latest reversal, see signal age, highlight every breakout, or view a continuous gradient—and the scoring table breaks down all five core checks for complete transparency.
Features
This indicator offers a suite of configurable visual and logical tools designed to make reversal signals both robust and transparent:
Dynamic z-score bands that expand or contract in real time to reflect current volatility regimes, ensuring the outer ±zThreshold levels always represent statistically rare extremes.
A smooth EMA baseline that weights recent price more heavily, serving as a fair-value anchor around which deviations are measured.
EMA-smoothed RSI slope confirmation, which filters out erratic momentum spikes by first smoothing raw RSI and then requiring its bar-to-bar slope to flip before any signal is allowed.
Slope-phase memory logic that locks out duplicate buy or sell markers until the RSI slope crosses back through zero, preventing over-trading during choppy swings.
Four distinct bar-coloring modes—Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, Classic Heat—plus a “None” option, so traders can choose whether to highlight the latest signal, show signal age, emphasize breakout bars, or view a continuous heat gradient within the bands.
A semi-transparent fill between the EMA and the upper/lower bands that visually frames the statistical zone and makes extremes immediately obvious.
Concise “Up” and “Down” labels that plot exactly when price re-enters a band with confirming momentum, keeping chart clutter to a minimum.
A real-time, five-metric scoring table (z-score, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend state, re-entry) that updates every two bars, displaying individual +1/–1/0 scores and an averaged Buy/Sell/Neutral verdict for complete transparency.
Calculations
Compute the fair-value EMA over fairLen bars.
Subtract that EMA from current price each bar to derive the raw deviation.
Over zLen bars, calculate the rolling mean and standard deviation of those deviations.
Convert each deviation into a z-score by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Plot the upper and lower bands at ±zThreshold × standard deviation around the EMA.
Calculate raw RSI over rsiLen bars, then smooth it with an EMA of length rsiEmaLen.
Derive the RSI slope by taking the difference between the current and previous smoothed RSI.
Detect a potential reentry when price exits one of the bands on the prior bar and re-enters on the current bar.
Require that reentry coincide with an RSI slope flip (positive for a lower-band reentry, negative for an upper-band reentry).
On first valid reentry per momentum swing, fire a buy or sell signal and set a memory flag; reset that flag only when the RSI slope crosses back through zero.
For each bar, assign scores of +1, –1, or 0 for the z-score direction, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend-state, and reentry status.
Average those five scores; if the result exceeds +0.1, label “Buy,” if below –0.1, label “Sell,” otherwise “Neutral.”
Update bar colors, the semi-transparent fill, reversal labels, and the scoring table every two bars to reflect the latest calculations.
How It Actually Works
On each new candle, the EMA baseline and band widths update to reflect current volatility. The RSI is smoothed and its slope recalculated. The script then looks back one bar to see if price exited either band and forward to see if it reentered. If that reentry coincides with an appropriate RSI slope flip—and no signal has yet been generated in that swing—a concise label appears. Bar colors refresh according to your selected mode, and the scoring table updates to show which of the five conditions passed or failed, along with the overall verdict. This process repeats seamlessly at each bar, giving traders a continuous feed of disciplined, statistically filtered reversal cues.
Inputs
All parameters are fully user-configurable, allowing you to tailor sensitivity, lookbacks, and visuals to your trading style:
EMA length (fairLen): number of bars for the fair-value EMA; higher values smooth more but lag further behind price.
Z-Score lookback (zLen): window for calculating the mean and standard deviation of price deviations; longer lookbacks reduce noise but respond more slowly to new volatility.
Z-Score threshold (zThreshold): number of standard deviations defining the upper and lower bands; common default is 2.0 for roughly the outer 5 percent of moves.
Source (src): choice of price series (close, hl2, etc.) used for EMA, deviation, and RSI calculations.
RSI length (rsiLen): period for raw RSI calculation; shorter values react faster to momentum changes but can be choppier.
RSI EMA length (rsiEmaLen): period for smoothing raw RSI before taking its slope; higher values filter more noise.
Bar coloring mode (colorMode): select from None, Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, or Classic Heat to control how bars are shaded in relation to signals and band positions.
Show signals (showSignals): toggle on-chart “Up” and “Down” labels for reversal entries.
Show scoring table (enableTable): toggle the display of the five-metric breakdown table.
Table position (tablePos): choose which corner (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) hosts the scoring table.
Conclusion
By merging a normalized z-score framework, momentum slope confirmation, disciplined signal memory, flexible visuals, and transparent scoring into one Pine Script overlay, Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands offers a powerful yet intuitive tool for intraday mean-reversion trading. Its adaptability to real-time volatility and multi-layered filter logic deliver clear, high-confidence reversal cues without the clutter or confusion of simpler indicators.

Reversal Trap Sniper – Verified VersionReversal Trap Sniper
Overview
Reversal Trap Sniper is a counterintuitive momentum-following strategy that identifies "reversal traps"—situations where traders expect a market reversal based on RSI, but the price continues trending. By detecting these failed reversal signals, the strategy enters trades in the trend direction, often catching strong follow-through moves.
How It Works
The system monitors the Relative Strength Index (RSI). When RSI moves above the overbought level (e.g., 70) and then drops back below it, many traders interpret this as a sell signal.
However, this strategy treats such moves with caution. If the RSI pulls back below the overbought threshold but the price continues to rise, the system considers it a "reversal trap"—a fakeout.
In such cases, instead of going short, the strategy enters a long position, assuming that the trend is still valid and those betting on a reversal may fuel a breakout.
Similarly, if RSI rises above the oversold level from below, but price continues falling, a short trade is triggered.
Entries are followed by ATR-based stop-loss and dynamic take-profit (2× risk), with a fallback time-based exit after 30 bars.
Key Features
- Detects failed RSI-based reversals ("traps")
- Follows momentum after the trap is triggered
- Uses ATR for dynamic stop-loss and take-profit
- Auto-exit after a fixed bar count (30 bars)
- Visual markers on chart for transparency
- Realistic trading assumptions: 0.05% commission, slippage, and capped pyramiding
Parameter Explanation
RSI Length (14): Standard RSI calculation period
Overbought/Oversold Levels (70/30): Common thresholds used by many traders
ATR Length (14): Used to define stop-loss and target dynamically
Risk-Reward Ratio (2.0): Take-profit is set at 2× the stop-loss distance
Max Holding Bars (30): Ensures trades don’t remain open indefinitely
Pyramiding (10): Allows scaling into trades, simulating real-world strategy stacking
Originality Note
This strategy inverts traditional RSI logic. Instead of treating overbought/oversold conditions as signals for reversal, it waits for those signals to fail. Only after such failures, confirmed by continued price action in the same direction, does the system enter trades. This logic is based on the behavioral observation that failed reversal signals often trigger stronger trend continuation—making this strategy uniquely positioned to exploit trap scenarios.

Scaled from 0 to 100, it provides traders with clear bullish (>50) and bearish (<50) zones. Visual Prowess is made up of several data components which will be explained below. All these components have custom thresholds that lead to Green Dot Buy Signals and Red Dot sell signals. Designed for multi-timeframe analysis, it helps traders anticipate market moves with precision seeing behind the scenes of price action.
The fundamental inputs of price action are made up of different variables -- the components of Trend Strength, Volatility, Momentum, Money Flow/Volume and Overbought/Oversold. These are very important inputs market makers use. From what I've learned in my trading journey (always still learning), this is the data I value most important. This is why I combined all these components into one indicator.....to be an ultimate visual—this extrapolation of different pieces of data is the Visual Prowess.
What It Does
Visual Prowess combines five key market factors into a unified score (0-100) to assess market conditions by examining the price action like an x-ray aka Visual Prowess:
• Trend Direction & Strength (Green and Red Wave) : Identifies bullish (green clouds) or bearish (red clouds) trend. This data is designed to illustrate the trend by the color, and its strength by the height (score).
How it is Calculated = Data is derived from price action-- comparing the current and previous price highs and lows to measure the strength of upward (+) or downward (-) price movements, smoothed over a period and expressed as a percentage of the price range.
• Momentum (Blue and White Wave): Tracks price acceleration via a custom momentum oscillator, displayed as blue (positive) or white (negative) waves.
How it is Calculated = Data is calculated by subtracting a longer-term exponential moving average from a shorter-term exponential moving average to measure momentum and trend direction. Momentum strength is measured by height on 0-100 score, and color dictates the trend-- Blue up, White down.
• Strength Index (Purple Line): Measures overbought/oversold conditions with a normalized index, derived from price deviation.
How it is Calculated = Strength Index is calculated by comparing the average of price gains to the average of price losses over a specified period, expressed as a value between 0 and 100 to measure momentum and identify overbought or oversold conditions.
• Money Flow: Monitors capital inflows and outflows using a modified Money Flow Index, shown as green (buying) or red (selling) circles.
How it is Calculated = The Money Flow is calculated by using price and volume data to measure buying and selling pressure, comparing positive and negative money flow over a specified period to produce a value between 0 and 100, indicating overbought or oversold conditions and more importantly where the money is moving, + or -.
• Volatility: Gauges market volatility, marked by colored crosses (blue for low, red for high). Blue illustrates low volatility which is key for big moves either + or -; red to illustrate when price action is extremely overheated either + or -.
How it is Calculated = The volatility is calculated by the creator of the BBWP The_Caretaker. This excellent work is calculated using the width of the iconic indicator the Bollinger Bands (the difference between the upper and lower bands divided by the middle band (the moving average), expressed as a percentage to show how volatile the price is relative to its recent average.
Originality
Unlike traditional multi-indicator dashboards, Visual Prowess uses a combination of specific open-source indicators which I believe to be the most important inputs in price action-- trend, momentum, strength, money flow, and volatility into an all-in-one visual ratioed on a 0-100 scale. This unique synthesis of data reduces noise, prioritizes signal alignment, and a look behind the scenes of price action to see deeper into the movement – This combination of indicators has custom thresholds, when these components in alignment with each other hit certain parameters; it leads to key custom price action signals -- Green Dot Buy and Red Dot Sell signals.
There is also a bonus indicator….. a Yellow Triangle. When you see this, it is rare and strong. It only prints when strength index reaches extreme lows at the same time volatility reaches extreme highs…. It then waits to print the yellow triangle upon a third condition= which is price action is back in bullish/positive zone. This Yellow triangle is meant to be strong reversals of Macro Trend lows.
How to Use the Visual Prowess Components:
• Add to Chart: Apply Visual Prowess to any timeframe (recommended: higher timeframes 12H, 1D, 2D, 3D for optimal signals).
• Interpret Zones: Values >50 indicate bullish conditions (green background); <50 signal bearish conditions (red background).
Wait for Green Dot Buy signal for buys and Red Dot Sell signals for sells. One can read each component individually to gauge the price action and predict before the buy signal prints; all of those components merged together is what leads to the buy and sell signals. The story of what’s to come can be seen at lower timeframes before the higher timeframes print, that is a key way to gauge projections of bull or bear prints to come.
HOW TO READ EACH DATA COMPONENT
TREND CLOUDS: Green/red clouds show trend direction; vivid colors tied to number/ score on the 0-100 scale indicate strength of the trend.
Bull Conditions
Green cloud illustrates the trend is bullish. The height is correlated to the trend’s strength—this height is also aligned with colors, more transparent green is weak, then it gets more opaque being medium strength, and the most vibrant is the strongest. How to ride the bull condition is by seeing this transformation of trend get from weak to strong, until it tops out and the wave points down losing strength which alludes to the bear condition.
Bear Conditions
Vice versa with the bear condition. Different shades of red tie into the strength of the bear trend. How to read when things are about to get bearish, is by seeing bull trend shift levels of strength (Example- medium to weak). This transition of bull strength getting weaker is the start, once it gets to weak bear it has commenced until bearish strength tops out before it begins to get weaker leading to the next bull phase.
MOMENTUM WAVES: Blue waves above 50 suggest bullish momentum; white waves below 50 warn of bearish shifts.
Bull Conditions
Good to look at flips of white wave to blue in bearish zones to see the tide turning= guaranteed bullish when safely gets above and holds above 50 zone.
Bear Conditions
Vice versa for Bearish side of this momentum wave being blue wave turning white in bullish zone aiming down to break below 50 zone to confirm bearish descent.
STRENGTH INDEX: Values >80 indicate overbought; <20 suggest oversold. Look for “Bull” or “Bear” labels for divergences.
Bull Conditions
Above 50 level is key, so seeing price action break from below 50 to above 50 is strong buy condition until it gets overbought.
Bear Conditions
Once conditions are too overbought and falling making lower lows (especially when price action is climbing or staying sideways) it is indicating strength is getting weaker. When this indicator fights 50 level and breaks down below 50 level bearish conditions are coming until it gets to an oversold level.
MONEYFLOW: Green circles signal buying pressure; red circles indicate selling.
Bull Conditions
Green circles show money flow is positive so that’s a good sign of upward price action to come, and again above 50 level is bullish conditions
Bear Conditions
Red circles show money flow is negative so that’s a bad sign of price action to come, pointing down and breaking below 50 level is no good. It can have corrections in bullish scenario keep in mind seeing red doesn’t mean trend is over z9could be in higher low scenario).
VOLATILITY: Blue crosses (<25% volatility) suggest breakout potential; red crosses (>75%) warn of overheated markets.
Bull Conditions
This is a very important indication. Big volatile moves can move either direction + or -. When all other components look positive/bullish and this is signalling blue crosses it means a big move is coming and will most likely be in the upward direction –If all other components align/lean bullish.
Another bullish scenario is when price action is down large and red crosses are forming. This indicates that the downward move is overheated (red x’s are rare). This extremely oversold condition can be great buying opportunities when volatility is hot printing red x’s.
Bear Conditions
When all other components look negative/bearish and this is signalling blue crosses it means a big move is coming and will most likely be in the downward direction –If all other components align/lean bearish.
Another bearish scenario is when price action is up large and red crosses are forming. This indicates that the upward move is overheated (red x’s are rare). This extremely overbought condition can be great selling opportunities when volatility is hot printing red x’s.
*****All these components in alignment of hitting each pertaining important threshold--is what prints the green dot and sell signals to trade by. It is not black and white; each component has a sweet spot fine tuned to be triggered through analysis of what is happening individually to each component and how it is reacting to the price action data.
EXAMPLE= Taking a look at the screenshot (Perfect Scenario)
Bullish Examination
- Taking a look at the 2-D timeframe on BTC
x>50
x= all components traveling to the bullish zone. Blue wave, Strength Index with bullish divergence accumulation, Money Flow Positive with Green Trend Wave starting, with teal low volatility cross→→→ leads to Green Dot Buy Signal print…. And the big rise speaks for itself with price action and the big mountain wave of the Green Trend Wave.
This rise leads to
↓↓↓↓
Bearish Examination
Strength Index gets really high at 80 scale, Red X’s showing extremely heated Volatility, Money Flow turning red and sloping down, Trend Wave peaking starting to roll over, Blue Momentum Wave transitioning to white, bearish divergence of price action related to Strength Index→→→ leads to Red Dot Sell Signal print… and the flush speaks for itself when all components fall below 50 level with Trend wave turning red
All this is forecasted in the data, showing weakness before weakness and showing strength before strength. It works because every single piece of important elements in data of price action is incorporated in this all-in-one indicator…. Which leads to the reasoning of me calling this indicator the Visual Prowess, for its unprecedent sharpness of visual observation.
****This is a passion script incorporating every piece of data I value important when reading a chart — to see current perspective of a chart and to help foresee future projection of direction Up or Down. Any community feedback is greatly appreciated. Ongoing work will be done on this script as new thoughts and fine tuning will continuously be done for infinity, as this is my personal go to model for data on the markets.
Volatility Pulse with Dynamic ExitVolatility Pulse with Dynamic Exit
Overview
This strategy, Volatility Pulse with Dynamic Exit, is designed to capture impulsive price moves following volatility expansions, while ensuring risk is managed dynamically. It avoids trades during low-volatility periods and uses momentum confirmation to enter positions. Additionally, it features a time-based forced exit system to limit overexposure.
How It Works
A position is opened when the current ATR (Average True Range) significantly exceeds its 20-period average, signaling a volatility expansion.
To confirm the move is directional and not random noise, the strategy checks for momentum: the close must be above/below the close of 20 bars ago.
Low volatility zones are filtered out to avoid chop and poor trade entries.
Upon entry, a dynamic stop-loss is set at 1x ATR, while take-profit is set at 2x ATR, offering a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
If the position remains open for more than 42 bars, it is forcefully closed, even if targets are not hit. This prevents long-lasting, stagnant trades.
Key Features
✅ Volatility-based breakout detection
✅ Momentum confirmation filter
✅ Dynamic stop-loss and take-profit based on real-time ATR
✅ Time-based forced exit (42 bars max holding)
✅ Low-volatility environment filter
✅ Realistic settings with 0.05% commission and slippage included
Parameters Explanation
ATR Length (14): Captures recent volatility over ~2 weeks (14 candles).
Momentum Lookback (20): Ensures meaningful price move confirmation.
Volatility Expansion Threshold (0.5x): Strategy activates only when ATR is at least 50% above its average.
Minimum ATR Filter (1.0x): Avoids entries in tight, compressed market ranges.
Max Holding (42 bars): Trades are closed after 42 bars if no exit signal is triggered.
Risk-Reward (2.0x): Aiming for 2x ATR as profit for every 1x ATR risk.
Originality Note
While volatility and momentum have been used separately in many strategies, this script combines both with a time-based dynamic exit system. This exit rule, combined with an ATR-based filter to exclude low-activity periods, gives the system a practical edge in real-world use. It avoids classic rehashes and integrates real trading constraints for better applicability.
Disclaimer
This is a research-focused trading strategy meant for backtesting and educational purposes. Always use proper risk management and perform due diligence before applying to real funds.

EMA Pullback Speed Strategy 📌 **Overview**
The **EMA Pullback Speed Strategy** is a trend-following approach that combines **price momentum** and **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)**.
It aims to identify high-probability entry points during brief pullbacks within ongoing uptrends or downtrends.
The strategy evaluates **speed of price movement**, **relative position to dynamic EMA**, and **candlestick patterns** to determine ideal timing for entries.
One of the key concepts is checking whether the price has **“not pulled back too much”**, helping focus only on situations where the trend is likely to continue.
⚠️ This strategy is designed for educational and research purposes only. It does not guarantee future profits.
🧭 **Purpose**
This strategy addresses the common issue of **"jumping in too late during trends and taking unnecessary losses."**
By waiting for a healthy pullback and confirming signs of **trend resumption**, traders can enter with greater confidence and reduce false entries.
🎯 **Strategy Objectives**
* Enter in the direction of the prevailing trend to increase win rate
* Filter out false signals using pullback depth, speed, and candlestick confirmations
* Predefine Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels for safer, rule-based trading
✨ **Key Features**
* **Dynamic EMA**: Reacts faster when price moves quickly, slower when market is calm – adapting to current momentum
* **Pullback Filter**: Avoids trades when price pulls back too far (e.g., more than 5%), indicating a trend may be weakening
* **Speed Check**: Measures how strongly the price returns to the trend using candlestick body speed (open-to-close range in ticks)
📊 **Trading Rules**
**■ Long Entry Conditions:**
* Current price is above the dynamic EMA (indicating uptrend)
* Price has pulled back toward the EMA (a "buy the dip" situation)
* Pullback depth is within the threshold (not excessive)
* Candlesticks show consecutive bullish closes and break the previous high
* Price speed is strong (positive movement with momentum)
**■ Short Entry Conditions:**
* Current price is below the dynamic EMA (indicating downtrend)
* Price has pulled back up toward the EMA (a "sell the rally" setup)
* Pullback is within range (not too deep)
* Candlesticks show consecutive bearish closes and break the previous low
* Price speed is negative (downward momentum confirmed)
**■ Exit Conditions (TP/SL):**
* **Take-Profit (TP):** Fixed 1.5% target above/below entry price
* **Stop-Loss (SL):** Based on recent price volatility, calculated using ATR × 4
💰 **Risk Management Parameters**
* Symbol & Timeframe: BTCUSD on 1-hour chart (H1)
* Test Capital: \$3000 (simulated account)
* Commission: 0.02%
* Slippage: 2 ticks (minimal execution lag)
* Max risk per trade: 5% of account balance
* Backtest Period: Aug 30, 2023 – May 9, 2025
* Profit Factor (PF): 1.965 (Net profit ÷ Net loss, including spreads & fees)
⚙️ **Trading Parameters & Indicator Settings**
* Maximum EMA Length: 50
* Accelerator Multiplier: 3.0
* Pullback Threshold: 5.0%
* ATR Period: 14
* ATR Multiplier (SL distance): 4.0
* Fixed TP: 1.5%
* Short-term EMA: 21
* Long-term EMA: 50
* Long Speed Threshold: ≥ 1000.0 (ticks)
* Short Speed Threshold: ≤ -1000.0 (ticks)
⚠️Adjustments are based on BTCUSD.
⚠️Forex and other currency pairs require separate adjustments.
🔧 **Strategy Improvements & Uniqueness**
Unlike basic moving average crossovers or RSI triggers, this strategy emphasizes **"momentum-supported pullbacks"**.
By combining dynamic EMA, speed checks, and candlestick signals, it captures trades **as if surfing the wave of a trend.**
Its built-in filters help **avoid overextended pullbacks**, which often signal the trend is ending – making it more robust than traditional trend-following systems.
✅ **Summary**
The **EMA Pullback Speed Strategy** is easy to understand, rule-based, and highly reproducible – ideal for both beginners and intermediate traders.
Because it shows **clear visual entry/exit points** on the chart, it’s also a great tool for practicing discretionary trading decisions.
⚠️ Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Always respect your Stop-Loss levels and manage your position size according to your risk tolerance.
Fibo Normalized RSI & RSI RibbonPlots both standard and Z-score normalized RSI ribbons using Fibonacci-based periods. Supports adjustable normalization, optional 0–100 scaling, and multi-line visualizations for momentum and deviation analysis.
This tool is designed for traders who want to go beyond standard RSI by adding:
Statistical normalization (Z-score)
Multi-period analysis (Fibonacci structure)
Advanced divergence and exhaustion detection
It gives you both classical momentum context and mathematically rigorous deviation insight, making it ideal for:
Swing traders
Quant-inclined discretionary traders
Multi-timeframe analysts
Trend Confirmation
When both RSI and normalized RSI across short and long periods are stacked in the same direction (e.g., above 50 or with high Z-scores), the trend is likely strong.
Disagreement between the two ribbons (e.g., RSI high but normalized RSI flat) may indicate late-stage trend or false strength.
Mean Reversion Trades
Look for normalized RSI values > +2 or < -2 (i.e., ~2 standard deviations).
Cross-check with standard RSI to see if the move aligns with a traditional overbought/oversold level.
Great for fade/reversal setups when Z-score RSI is extreme but classic RSI is just beginning to turn.
Divergence Detection
Compare the slope of RSI vs. normalized RSI over same period:
If RSI is rising but normalized RSI is falling → momentum is fading despite apparent strength.
Excellent for early warnings before reversals.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Use short-period ribbons (e.g., 3–13) for tactical entries/exits.
Use long-period ribbons (e.g., 55–233) for macro trend bias.
Alignment across both = high-confidence zone.
ATS DELTABAR V5.0ATS DeltaBar Indicator: Volume Trend Momentum Analysis System
——Precisely Capturing "Price-Volume Resonance" Signals for Trend Reversals
Core Positioning
The ATS DeltaBar is a sub-chart indicator focused on the synergy between volume trends and price action. It dynamically monitors changes in volume momentum and price deviations to identify trend strengthening, exhaustion, and reversal signals. Its core value lies in:
Red/Green Bars: Visually reflect volume increases/decreases, revealing capital flow direction.
Divergence Signals: Warn of potential trend reversals (top/bottom divergence).
Resonance Breakouts/Breakdowns: Confirm high-probability trend continuation signals.
Red/Green Zones: Clearly define bullish/bearish phases (red = bearish, green = bullish).
I. Core Logic & Algorithm
1. Volume Trend Visualization
Bar Color Volume State Market Implication
Green Bar Volume ↑ vs. prior period Capital inflow, trend momentum strengthens
Red Bar Volume ↓ vs. prior period Capital outflow, trend momentum weakens
Bar Height Magnitude of volume change Quantifies intensity (higher = stronger shift)
📌 Key Insight:
Green bars + rising price = Healthy uptrend.
Red bars + price新高 = Potential top divergence risk.
2. Divergence Detection
Top Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but DeltaBar peaks lower (red bars accumulate) → Bullish exhaustion.
Bottom Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but DeltaBar troughs rise (green bars accumulate) → Bearish exhaustion.
3. Resonance Signal System
Resonance Breakout: Price breaks resistance + DeltaBar green volume spike → Confirmed uptrend acceleration.
Resonance Breakdown: Price breaks support + DeltaBar red volume spike → Confirmed downtrend weakness.
4. Bullish/Bearish Zone划分
Green Zone: DeltaBar consistently above neutral line → Bullish dominance (favor longs).
Red Zone: DeltaBar consistently below neutral line → Bearish dominance (caution for downside).
II. Signal Types & Practical Applications
1. Basic Trading Signals
Signal Type DeltaBar Behavior Trading Suggestion
Green Zone + Green Bar Price & volume rise together Hold/add to longs
Red Zone + Red Bar Price & volume decline together Short/exit longs
Top Divergence Price ↑ + DeltaBar peaks ↓ (red bars) Reduce longs/test shorts
Bottom Divergence Price ↓ + DeltaBar troughs ↑ (green bars) Prepare for reversal/cover shorts
2. Advanced Resonance Strategies
Breakout Trade: Enter when price breaks a key level + DeltaBar shows green volume spike (resonance breakout) → High-probability long.
Breakdown Trade: Enter when price breaks support + DeltaBar shows red volume spike (resonance breakdown) → High-probability short.
III. Comparison with Traditional Indicators
Aspect Traditional Volume (e.g., OBV) ATS DeltaBar

IV. Usage Scenarios & Tips
1. Trend Following
In Green Zone: Price above MA + DeltaBar green bars expanding → Hold longs.
In Red Zone: Price below MA + DeltaBar red bars expanding → Stay short/avoid longs.
2. Reversal Trading
Top Divergence + Bearish candlestick (e.g., Evening Star) + red bars → Short.
Bottom Divergence + Bullish engulfing + green bars → Long.
3. Breakout Filtering
Only trade breakouts where price and DeltaBar confirm共振 (avoids false breakouts).
V. Case Study (BTC/USDT 1H Chart)
Successful Long: Price broke resistance + DeltaBar green volume spike → 15% rally.
Successful Short: Price consolidated with red bar accumulation (top divergence) → 8% drop.
VI.注意事项
Combine with price structure (support/resistance) for higher accuracy.
Prioritize divergence in ranging markets; focus on共振 signals in trending markets.
