Ultimate Institutional Signal Detector***
# 📊 Institutional Signal Detector - Multi-Confluence Order Flow System
## 🎯 Overview
The **Ultimate Institutional Signal Detector** is an advanced multi-confluence indicator designed for professional traders who demand institutional-grade order flow analysis. This system combines three independent signal dimensions—**Whale Detection**, **Volume Exhaustion**, and **Volatility Expansion**—to identify high-probability trading opportunities with exceptional precision.
Unlike traditional volume indicators, this tool uses **Lower Timeframe (LTF) delta aggregation** and **RVOL normalization** to detect genuine institutional activity while filtering out retail noise.
***
## 🔥 What Makes This Different?
### 1. **Lower Timeframe Delta Aggregation**
- Analyzes intrabar buy/sell volume distribution from lower timeframes
- Provides superior order flow granularity compared to single-timeframe analysis
- Accurately estimates institutional buying vs. selling pressure
### 2. **RVOL-Normalized Statistical Thresholds**
- Raw volume is normalized by Relative Volume (RVOL) to amplify signals during high institutional participation
- Uses sigma-based statistical thresholds (customizable sensitivity)
- Eliminates false signals during low-liquidity periods
### 3. **Triple-Confluence Grading System**
Signals are classified by confluence strength:
| Grade | Confluence | Win Rate Expectation | Use Case |
|-------|------------|---------------------|----------|
| **A+** | 🐋 + 🚦 + ⚡ (Triple) | 70-80% | Swing positions, Options directional bets |
| **A** | Any 2 of 3 (Double) | 60-70% | Intraday scalps with tight stops |
| **ABS** | Absorption Reversal | 65-75% | Counter-trend reversals at support/resistance |
***
## 📈 Signal Components
### 🐋 **Whale Detection (Order Flow)**
- **Method**: LTF delta aggregation with RVOL normalization
- **Logic**: Normalized buy/sell volume > (Average + Sigma × StdDev)
- **Filters**: Requires bullish/bearish candle + minimum RVOL threshold
- **Detects**: Large institutional orders entering the market
### 🚦 **Volume Exhaustion (Climax)**
- **Method**: Current volume vs. moving average comparison
- **Logic**: Volume > 3.5× Volume MA (default)
- **Identifies**: Exhaustion climaxes and capitulation events
- **Use Case**: Often precedes trend reversals or strong continuation
### ⚡ **Volatility Expansion (Breakout)**
- **Method**: Candle range vs. ATR comparison
- **Logic**: (High - Low) > 2.0× ATR (default)
- **Confirms**: Genuine breakouts vs. low-volatility fakeouts
- **Filter**: Ensures price is actually moving, not just volume spiking
### ⚠️ **Absorption Detection (Special Setup)**
- **Method**: High whale volume + Small candle body (<30% of range)
- **Logic**: Institutional players passively absorbing aggressive retail flow
- **Signal**: Price rejection despite massive volume = trapped traders
- **Trade Direction**: **Counter** to the failed move (reversal setup)
***

## 📊 How to Use
### **Entry Strategy**
#### A+ Signals (Highest Conviction)
1. Wait for triple confluence (🐋 + 🚦 + ⚡)
2. Enter on signal bar close or next bar open
3. Risk: 1.5-2% per trade
4. Stop loss: Below/above signal bar wick + 1 ATR buffer
5. Targets: 2:1 or 3:1 R:R
#### A Signals (Strong Confirmation)
1. Double confluence provides solid confirmation
2. Better for intraday scalps (15m-1H charts)
3. Risk: 0.75-1% per trade
4. Tighter stops recommended
#### Absorption Signals (Reversal Setup)
1. High volume + small body = failed directional attempt
2. Trade **against** the absorbed pressure
3. Excellent at major support/resistance
4. Combine with other reversal indicators (RSI divergence, etc.)
### **Risk Management Rules**
- **RVOL Gate**: Only trade signals with RVOL ≥ 1.3× (default)
- **Trend Alignment**: A+ signals with trend = higher win rate
- **Avoid News**: Disable during major economic releases
- **Volume Confirmation**: Watch for follow-through volume in next 2-3 bars
***
## 🚀 Best Practices
### Timeframe Selection
- **5m-15m**: Scalping (focus on A signals)
- **1H-4H**: Swing trading (focus on A+ signals)
- **Daily**: Position trading (A+ only, ignore A signals)
### Symbol Types
- **Highly Liquid Assets**: Works best (BTC, ETH, ES, NQ, major forex pairs)
- **Stocks**: Use on high-volume stocks (>1M daily volume)
- **Low Liquidity**: Not recommended (RVOL normalization less effective)
### Combining With Other Tools
- **Trend Indicators**: EMA ribbons, Supertrend
- **Support/Resistance**: Key levels enhance signal quality
- **Market Structure**: Break of structure + A+ signal = powerful combo

***
## 📖 Educational Resources
### Understanding the Signals
**Initiative vs. Absorption:**
- **Initiative** = Whale volume + normal/large candle body → trade WITH the direction
- **Absorption** = Whale volume + tiny candle body → trade AGAINST the failed direction
**Why Triple Confluence Works:**
When all three signals align, it indicates:
1. Institutional money entering (whale volume)
2. Market participant exhaustion (climax volume)
3. Price expansion confirming momentum (volatility)
This combination creates optimal entry points with favorable risk/reward.
***
## 💡 Tips for Maximum Profitability
1. **Wait for Confluence**: Don't trade single signals (B grade) unless experienced
2. **RVOL is King**: Higher RVOL = stronger signal reliability
3. **Trend is Friend**: A+ signals aligned with trend = 75%+ win rate
4. **Absorption at Levels**: Absorption signals near support/resistance = highest probability
5. **Volume Follow-Through**: Confirm signal strength with continued volume in next 2-3 bars
6. **Time of Day**: Best signals occur during high-liquidity sessions (avoid pre-market/after-hours)

MA Distance Percentile - HighQ ToolsHighQTools — MA Distance Percentile (MADP)
As always, if anyone has any tips or additional features they'd like to see, feel free to reach out!
MA Distance Percentile (MADP) measures how far price is from its moving average relative to its own recent history.
Instead of showing raw distance (which varies by symbol, volatility, and timeframe), MADP normalizes price-to-MA distance into a 0–100 percentile rank over a rolling lookback window. This allows traders to quickly identify when price is relatively extended or compressed compared to recent conditions.
🔍 How It Works
A moving average is calculated (EMA by default, configurable).
The ratio of price / MA is computed.
That ratio is percentile-ranked over a user-defined lookback window.
The result is optionally smoothed for clarity.
High values (e.g., 80–100): Price is more extended above its MA than it has been recently.
Low values (e.g., 0–20): Price is relatively compressed or discounted vs its MA.
🧭 How to Use It
MADP is best used as a context tool, not a standalone signal:
Identify mean-reversion potential at relative extremes
Distinguish trend continuation vs exhaustion
Filter entries taken near highs/lows vs those taken in compression
Combine with structure, volume, delta, or VWAP-based tools
Optional visual levels (20 / 50 / 80) are provided for quick reference. Simple signals are included but disabled by default to encourage discretionary use.
⚙️ Defaults & Notes
Default MA: 20-period EMA
Default lookback: 200 bars
Designed for intraday and swing analysis
Does not repaint
Percentile-based normalization makes it robust across symbols and timeframes
This indicator is part of the HighQTools framework: clean, transparent tools designed to provide context first, not overfitted signals.
3D Isometric MFI (Christmas Edition) [Kodexius]3D Isometric MFI (Christmas Edition) is a visual-first interpretation of the classic Money Flow Index, rendered as a projected 3D-style ribbon using an isometric mapping. Instead of plotting a standard oscillator line, the script reconstructs recent MFI history as a depth-aware ribbon that moves from back to front, producing a layered perspective effect that helps you read momentum shifts, regime transitions, and relative strength changes as a continuous structure.
This Christmas Edition was also built for fun and as a creative seasonal experiment. The goal is to keep the underlying indicator logic familiar, while presenting it in a playful, “3D showroom” style that looks great in a separate oscillator panel.
The indicator is designed for presentation quality and chart readability. It uses controlled object management (lines, polylines, labels) and renders only the most recent portion of the MFI history (user-defined depth). A decorative snow background effect adds atmosphere.
🔹 Features 🎄
🔸 Isometric 3D Projection Engine
The ribbon is produced by projecting 3D points (time offset, MFI value, depth) into 2D chart coordinates.
- X represents bar offset into history
- Y represents the MFI value
- Z introduces depth and perspective
Angle controls the projection direction, and Vertical Zoom scales the perceived amplitude.
🔸 Depth-Limited Ribbon Rendering (Back to Front)
Only the most recent History Depth values are drawn to keep performance and readability stable.
- Each segment connects two consecutive MFI values
- A top edge, bottom edge, and filled face are drawn to simulate thickness
- Older segments fade into the background
🔸 Dynamic Gradient Coloring + Depth Fade
Ribbon color follows a value-based gradient:
- Lower values lean red (risk-off pressure)
- Higher values lean green (risk-on pressure)
- Mid values blend naturally
Transparency increases with depth so older history is less dominant but still readable.
🔸 Tip Label (Value + Candy Marker) 🍭🍬
The most recent ribbon tip displays current MFI value.
A candy symbol that switches based on the 50 midpoint
The label is offset so it does not cover the ribbon tip.
🔸 Projected Reference Grid (80, 50, 20)
A projected grid is drawn at classic MFI reference levels to improve orientation:
- 80 Overbought reference
- 50 Midpoint reference
- 20 Oversold reference
These grid lines use the same projection math, so they stay aligned at any angle or zoom.
🔸 Seasonal Snow Background Effect ❄️
Randomized snow is rendered behind the ribbon using lightweight labels. This is purely decorative and does not alter MFI values or logic.
🔸 Object Lifecycle Management
Because 3D-style drawing uses many objects, the script manages them explicitly by storing references in arrays, deleting old objects, and redrawing on the last bar. This helps prevent visual stacking artifacts and keeps the panel clean.
🔹 Calculations
1) Money Flow Index Computation
The script separates “positive” and “negative” money flow based on the direction of change in the selected source, then converts their ratio into the standard 0 to 100 oscillator. Classic MFI Calculations.
calc_mfi(int length, float source) =>
float upper = math.sum(volume * (ta.change(source) <= 0 ? 0 : source), length)
float lower = math.sum(volume * (ta.change(source) >= 0 ? 0 : source), length)
float mfi = 100.0
if lower != 0
float r = upper / lower
mfi := 100 - (100 / (1 + r))
mfi
Interpretation:
upper accumulates volume-weighted source values on up moves
lower accumulates volume-weighted source values on down moves
if lower is zero, MFI defaults to 100 to avoid division errors
otherwise, MFI is computed from the ratio transform
2) History Buffer Management
The current MFI value is pushed into the front of an array every bar. The array is trimmed to History Depth so rendering stays bounded.
array.unshift(ctx.history_val, mfi_curr)
if ctx.history_val.size() > depth
ctx.history_val.pop()
3) 3D Point Model and Ribbon Thickness
Each segment is built from four projected points to form a filled face (a simple quad). A small thickness is applied to create the “ribbon” look, and depth is used to simulate perspective.
4) Isometric Projection to Chart Coordinates
3D points are mapped into chart coordinates with an angle rotation and scaling for zoom and depth.
method project(Point3 p, int anchor_bar, float angle_rad, float zoom, float z_scale) =>
float x_world = -float(p.x) * 2.0
float z_val = p.z * z_scale
float screen_x_offset = (x_world * math.cos(angle_rad)) - (z_val * 1.0)
float screen_y_offset = (p.y * zoom) + (x_world * math.sin(angle_rad)) * 0.5
int final_x = anchor_bar + int(math.round(screen_x_offset))
float final_y = screen_y_offset
chart.point.from_index(final_x, final_y)
5) Gradient and Depth Transparency
Color is derived from MFI value via a gradient, and transparency increases with segment depth so recent data remains dominant while older context stays visible.
6) Projected Reference Grid Construction
The 80, 50, 20 levels are drawn as dotted segments across the same historical span, using the same projection and depth fade logic for consistent alignment.
🎆 Wishing you a great year ahead 🎄✨
May your charts be clear, your risk be controlled, and your next year be filled with health, peace, and good trades. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
TradingView Alert Adapter for AlgoWayTRALADAL is a universal TradingView alert adapter designed for traders who work with indicators and want to test and automate indicator-based signals in a structured way.
It allows users to convert indicator outputs into a TradingView strategy and forward the same logic through alerts for multi-platform execution via AlgoWay.
This script can be used as TradingView indicator automation, enabling traders to build a TradingView strategy from indicators and route TradingView alerts through an AlgoWay connector TradingView workflow for multi-platform execution.
Why this adapter is needed
Most TradingView indicators are not available as strategies.
Traders often receive visual signals or alerts but have no access to objective statistics such as win rate, drawdown, or profit factor.
This adapter solves that problem by providing a generic framework that transforms indicator signals into a backtestable strategy — without modifying indicator code and without requiring Pine Script knowledge.
Input source–based design (including closed indicators)
All conditions in TRALADAL are built using input sources, which means you can connect:
Event-based signals (1 / non-zero values, arrows, shapes)
Indicator lines and values (EMA, VWAP, RSI, MACD, etc.)
Outputs from invite-only or closed-source indicators
If an indicator produces a visible signal or alert-compatible output, it can be evaluated and tested using this adapter, even when the source code is locked.
Three-level signal logic
The strategy uses a three-layer condition model commonly applied in discretionary and systematic trading:
Signal — primary entry trigger
Confirmation — directional validation
Filter — additional noise reduction
Each level can be enabled independently and combined using AND / OR logic, allowing traders to test multi-indicator systems without writing complex scripts.
Risk management and alert execution
The adapter supports practical risk parameters:
Stop Loss (pips)
Take Profit (pips)
Trailing Stop (pips)
Two execution modes are available:
Strategy Mode — risk rules are applied inside the TradingView Strategy Tester
Alert Mode — risk parameters are embedded into structured TradingView alerts and handled by AlgoWay during execution
Position sizing follows TradingView conventions (percent of equity, cash, or contracts) to keep strategy results and alerts aligned.
Typical use cases
This TradingView alert adapter is intended for:
Indicator-based trading systems
Backtesting signals from closed or invite-only scripts
Comparing multiple indicators within a single strategy
Sending TradingView alerts to external trading platforms via AlgoWay
The adapter does not generate signals or trading recommendations.
Its purpose is to provide a transparent and testable workflow from indicator signals to TradingView alerts and automated execution.
VIX Percentile OscillatorWhat is this script?
This is a trading tool that helps you decide when to buy or sell options based on market volatility. Think of it as a "fear meter" for the stock market.
What is VIX?
VIX = Volatility Index (also called the "fear index")
When VIX is HIGH → Market is scared/volatile → Options are EXPENSIVE
When VIX is LOW → Market is calm → Options are CHEAP
What does "Percentile" mean?
Instead of just showing VIX price, this script shows where VIX is compared to history.
Example: If VIX Percentile = 85%
This means VIX is higher than 85% of all past readings
Only 15% of the time was VIX higher than now
Translation: Volatility is unusually HIGH
The 5 Trading Zones
The script divides the market into 5 zones:
🔴 EXTREME SELLING ZONE (90-100%)
VIX is in the top 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY SELL OPTIONS (collect big premiums)
Market panic = expensive options = profit for sellers
🟠 SELLING ZONE (80-89%)
VIX is elevated but not extreme
Action: SELL OPTIONS (good premiums available)
⚪ NEUTRAL ZONE (20-79%)
VIX is normal
Action: WAIT or use other strategies
🟢 BUYING ZONE (10-19%)
VIX is low
Action: BUY OPTIONS (they're cheap)
🟢 EXTREME BUYING ZONE (0-9%)
VIX is in the bottom 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY BUY OPTIONS (bargain prices)
Market complacency = cheap options = opportunity
Understanding the Chart
Main Line (Blue/Red/Green):
Shows current VIX percentile
Color changes based on zone
Thick line = easy to see
Histogram (Background bars):
Red bars = above 50% (high volatility)
Green bars = below 50% (low volatility)
Purple Momentum Line:
Shows if VIX is rising or falling
Helps you catch trends early
Background Colors:
Light red/orange = Selling zones
Light green = Buying zones
Triangle Markers:
Appear when entering new zones
"EXTREME" label = strongest signals
The Statistics Table (Top Right)
VIX Price: Current VIX value (e.g., 16.50)
Percentile: Where VIX ranks (0-100%)
Z-Score: Statistical measure
Above +2 or below -2 = extreme
Red text = unusually high/low
Momentum: Rate of change
Red = rising (volatility increasing)
Green = falling (volatility decreasing)
Avg VIX: Average VIX over lookback period
Current Zone: Which zone you're in right now
Bars in Zone: How long you've been in this zone
Simple Trading Rules
FOR OPTION SELLERS (Premium Collectors):
✅ SELL when: Percentile > 80% (especially > 90%)
High premiums available
Examples: Sell covered calls, cash-secured puts, credit spreads
FOR OPTION BUYERS (Hedgers/Speculators):
✅ BUY when: Percentile < 20% (especially < 10%)
Cheap options available
Examples: Buy protective puts, long calls, debit spreads
Key Settings You Can Adjust
Lookback Period (default: 252)
How far back to compare (252 = 1 year of trading days)
Longer = smoother, more stable
Shorter = more sensitive to recent changes
Smoothing Period (default: 3)
Reduces noise/wiggling
Higher = smoother line
Lower = more responsive
Zone Thresholds:
Extreme Sell: 90%
Sell: 80%
Buy: 20%
Extreme Buy: 10%
You can customize these!
Real-World Example
Scenario: VIX Percentile jumps to 92%
What this means:
VIX is higher than 92% of all past readings
Market is in panic mode
Option premiums are INFLATED
Trading Action:
✅ Sell covered calls on stocks you own
✅ Sell cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy
✅ Sell credit spreads
❌ DON'T buy expensive options right now
Why it works: When fear is extreme, it usually calms down eventually. You profit as premiums deflate.
Important Reminders
⚠️ This is a TIMING tool, not a crystal ball
It tells you WHEN premiums are expensive/cheap
It doesn't tell you WHICH options to trade
You still need proper risk management
⚠️ Works on ALL timeframes
Daily charts = swing trading
Weekly charts = position trading
Intraday charts = day trading volatility
⚠️ Best for:
Option sellers during high VIX (>80%)
Option buyers during low VIX (<20%)
Portfolio hedging decisions
Volatility trading strategies
Bottom Line: This script helps you buy options when they're cheap and sell options when they're expensive. It's like shopping for sales, but for volatility!

RSI Forecast [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
While standard RSI excels at measuring current momentum and identifying overbought or oversold conditions, it only reflects what has already happened in the market. The RSI Forecast indicator builds upon this foundation by projecting potential RSI trajectories into future bars, giving traders a framework to consider where momentum might head next. Three analytical models power these projections: a market structure approach that reads swing highs and lows, a volume analysis method that weighs accumulation and distribution patterns, and a linear regression model that extrapolates recent trend behavior. Each model processes market data differently, allowing traders to choose the approach that best fits their analytical style and the asset they're trading.
🟢 How It Works
At its foundation, the indicator calculates RSI using the standard methodology: comparing average upward price movements against average downward movements over a specified period, producing an oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100. Traders can apply an optional signal line using various moving average types (e.g., SMA, EMA, SMMA/RMA, WMA, or VWMA), and when SMA smoothing is selected, Bollinger Bands can be added to visualize RSI volatility ranges.
The forecasting mechanism operates by first estimating future price levels using the chosen projection method. These estimated prices then pass through a simulated RSI engine that mirrors the actual indicator's mathematics. The simulation updates the internal gain and loss averages bar by bar, applying the same RMA smoothing that powers real RSI calculations, to produce authentic projected values.
Since RSI characteristically moves in waves rather than straight lines, the projection system incorporates dynamic oscillation. This draws from stored patterns of recent RSI movements, factors in the tendency for RSI to pull back from extreme readings, and applies mathematical wave functions tied to current momentum conditions. The Oscillation Intensity control lets traders adjust how much waviness appears in projections. Signal line (RSI-based MA) projections follow the same logic, advancing the chosen moving average type forward using its proper mathematical formula. The complete system generates 15 bars of projected RSI and signal line values, displayed as dashed lines extending beyond current price action.
🟢 Key Features
1. Market Structure Model
This projection method reads price action through swing point analysis. It scans for pivot highs and pivot lows within a defined lookback range, then evaluates whether the market is building bullish patterns (successive higher highs and higher lows) or bearish patterns (successive lower highs and lower lows). The algorithm recognizes structural shifts when price violates previous swing levels in either direction.
Price projections under this model factor in proximity to key swing levels and overall trend strength, measured by tallying trend-confirming swings over recent history. When bullish structure prevails and price hovers near support, upward price bias enters the projection, pushing forecasted RSI higher. Bearish structure near resistance creates the opposite effect. The model scales its projections using ATR to keep them proportional to current volatility conditions.
▶ Practical Implications for Traders:
Aligns well with traders who focus on support, resistance, and swing-based entries
Provides context for where RSI might travel as price interacts with structural levels
Tends to perform better when markets display clear directional swings
May produce less useful output during consolidation phases with overlapping swings
Offers early visualization of potential divergence setups
Swing traders can use structure-based projections to time entries around key pivot zones
Position traders could benefit from the trend strength component when holding through larger moves
On lower timeframes, it helps scalpers identify micro-structure shifts for quick momentum plays
Useful for mapping out potential RSI behavior around breakout and breakdown levels
Day traders can combine structural projections with session highs and lows for intraday context
2. Volume-Weighted Model
This method blends multiple volume indicators to inform its price projections. It tracks On-Balance Volume to gauge cumulative buying and selling pressure, monitors the Accumulation/Distribution Line to assess where price closes relative to its range on each bar, and calculates volume-weighted returns to give heavier influence to high-volume price movements. The model examines the directional slope of these metrics to assess whether volume confirms or contradicts price direction.
Unusually high volume bars receive special attention, with their directional bias factored into projections. When all volume metrics point the same direction, the model produces more aggressive price forecasts and consequently stronger RSI movements. Conflicting volume signals lead to more muted projections, suggesting RSI may move sideways rather than trending.
▶ Practical Implications for Traders:
Suited for traders who incorporate volume confirmation into their analysis
Works best with instruments that report accurate, meaningful volume data
Useful for identifying situations where momentum lacks volume support
Less applicable to instruments with sparse or unreliable volume information
Scalpers on liquid markets can spot volume-backed momentum for quick entries and exits
Helps intraday traders distinguish between genuine moves and low-volume fakeouts
Position traders can assess whether institutional participation supports longer-term trends
Effective during news events or market opens when volume spikes often drive directional moves
Swing traders can use volume divergence in projections to anticipate potential reversals
3. Linear Regression Model
The simplest of the three methods, linear regression fits a straight line through recent price data using least-squares mathematics and extends that line forward. These projected prices then generate corresponding RSI forecasts. This creates a clean momentum projection without conditional logic or interpretation of market characteristics. The forecast simply asks: if the recent price trend continues at its current rate of change, where would RSI be in the coming bars?
▶ Practical Implications for Traders:
Delivers a clean, mathematically neutral projection baseline
Functions well during sustained, orderly trends
Involves fewer parameters and produces consistent, reproducible output
Responds more slowly when trend direction shifts
Works best in trending environments rather than ranging markets
Ideal for position traders who want to ride established trends
Useful for swing traders to gauge trend exhaustion when actual RSI deviates from linear projections
Scalpers can use the smooth output as a reference point to measure short-term momentum deviations
Effective baseline for comparing against structure or volume models to measure market complexity
Works particularly well on higher timeframes where trends develop more gradually
🟢 Universal Applications Across All Models
Regardless of which forecasting method you select, the indicator projects future RSI positions that may help with:
▶ Overbought/Oversold Planning: See whether RSI trajectories point toward extreme zones, giving you time to prepare responses before conditions develop
▶ Entry and Exit Timing: Factor projected RSI levels into your timing decisions for opening or closing positions
▶ Crossover Anticipation: Watch for projected crossings between RSI and its signal line (RSI-based MA) that might indicate upcoming momentum shifts
▶ Mean Reversion Context: When RSI sits at extremes, projections can illustrate potential paths back toward the midline
▶ Momentum Evaluation: Assess whether current directional strength appears likely to continue or fade based on projection direction
▶ Divergence Awareness: Use forecast trajectories alongside price action to spot potential divergence formations earlier
▶ Comparative Analysis: Run different projection methods and note where they agree or disagree, using alignment as an additional filter, for instance
▶ Multi-Timeframe Context: Compare RSI projections across different timeframes to identify alignment or conflict in momentum outlook
▶ Trade Management: Reference projected RSI levels when adjusting stops, scaling positions, or setting profit targets
▶ Rule-Based Systems: Incorporate projected RSI conditions into systematic trading approaches for more forward-looking signal generation
Note: It is essential to recognize that these forecasts derive from mathematical analysis of recent price behavior. Markets are dynamic environments shaped by innumerable factors that no technical tool can fully capture or foresee. The projected RSI values represent potential scenarios for how momentum might develop, and actual readings can take different paths than those visualized. Historical tendencies and past patterns offer no guarantee of future behavior. Consider these projections as one element within a comprehensive trading approach that encompasses disciplined risk management, appropriate position sizing, and diverse analytical methods. The true benefit lies not in expecting precise forecasts but in developing a forward-thinking perspective on possible market conditions and planning your responses accordingly.
Buying Opportunity Score V2.2Buying Opportunity Indicator V2.2
What This Indicator Does
This indicator identifies potential buying opportunities during market fear and pullbacks by combining multiple technical signals into a single composite score (0-100). Higher scores indicate more fear/oversold conditions are present simultaneously.
Why These Components?
Market bottoms typically occur when multiple fear signals align. This indicator combines five complementary measurements that each capture different aspects of market stress:
1. VIX Level (30 points) - Measures implied volatility/fear. VIX spikes during selloffs as traders buy protection. Thresholds based on historical percentiles (VIX 25+ is ~85th percentile historically).
2. Price Drawdown (30 points) - Distance from 52-week high. Larger drawdowns create better risk/reward for mean reversion entries. A 10%+ drawdown from highs historically presents better entry points than buying at all-time highs.
3. RSI 14 (12 points) - Classic momentum oscillator measuring oversold conditions. RSI below 30 indicates short-term selling exhaustion.
4. Bollinger Band Position (13 points) - Statistical measure of price extension. Price below the lower band (2 standard deviations) indicates statistically unusual weakness.
5. VIX Timing (15 points) - Bonus points when VIX is declining from a recent peak. This helps avoid catching falling knives by waiting for fear to subside.
How The Score Works
- Each component contributes points based on severity
- Components are weighted by predictive value from historical analysis
- Score of 70+ means multiple fear signals are present
- Score of 80+ means extreme fear across most components
How To Use
1. Apply to SPY, QQQ, or IWM on daily timeframe
2. Monitor the Current Score in the statistics table
3. Scores below 50 = normal conditions, no action needed
4. Scores 60-69 = elevated fear, monitor closely
5. Scores 70+ = consider entering long positions
6. Scores 80+ = strongest historical entry points
Important Limitations
- This is a research tool, not financial advice
- Past patterns may not repeat in the future
- Signals are infrequent (typically 2-4 per year reaching 70+)
- Works best on broad market ETFs; not validated for individual stocks
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- The indicator identifies conditions that have historically been favorable, but cannot predict future returns

TriPulse Volume Bounds | QuantEdgeBTriPulse Volume Bounds | QuantEdgeB
🔍 Overview
TriPulse Volume Bounds | QuantEdgeB (𝓣𝓟𝓥𝓞) is a volume-weighted, volatility-adaptive oscillator built to spot high-conviction expansion moves. It first applies a triple-smooth price engine as a refined input, then computes a VWMA anchored to volume participation and measures how far price deviates from it (in %). Dynamic upper/lower bounds are then generated from the oscillator’s own volatility (standard deviation), creating a self-adjusting channel. When the oscillator breaks above/below these bounds, 𝓣𝓟𝓥𝓞 flips into clear Long / Short regimes—supported by rich visuals, alerts, optional backtest tables, and a dedicated TPVO Sensor table that grades momentum/impulse/drive and conviction strength.
✨ Key Features
1. 🧠 TriPulse Source Engine (Triple-Smooth Input)
- Uses a triple-smoothed price series as the oscillator’s “signal-grade” input to reduce noise while staying responsive.
2. 📊 Volume-Weighted Anchor (VWMA)
- Builds a VWMA baseline using volume as weight, so moves backed by participation matter more than thin-market drift.
3. 📏 Percent Deviation Oscillator
- Computes oscillator value as: 100 × (close − VWMA) / VWMA, producing a clean “distance-from-value” readout.
4. ⚡ Dynamic Volatility Bounds
- Upper/lower thresholds are derived from stdev(avwo) over a lookback length and scaled by:
– Adaptive Multiplier (volatility scaling)
– Upper/Lower multipliers (asymmetric sensitivity)
5. 🎯 Regime Signals
- Long when AVWO > Upper Bound
- Short when AVWO < Lower Bound
- Neutral otherwise (inside bounds)
6. 🎨 Visual & Alerts
- Plots the oscillator with regime-sensitive coloring and fill behavior.
- Highlights the active bound when a long/short is triggered.
- Colors candles to match the current regime.
- Optional Long/Short labels on confirmed flips.
- Alert conditions on regime crossovers.
7- 📊 Backtest Table (Optional)
- Built-in backtest table from a chosen start date.
- Two display modes: standard table or overlaid table.
8. ♞ TPVO Sensor Table (Built-In Intelligence Layer)
- A dedicated on-chart dashboard that summarizes direction + quality of the current move using strength bars and momentum staging.
💼 Use Cases
• Breakout Confirmation: Catch expansion moves only when deviation exceeds adaptive bounds.
• Volume-Validated Momentum: Filter out weak pushes that aren’t supported by volume-weighted structure.

SD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeBSD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeB
🔍 Overview
SD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeB (SDRO) is a normalized momentum oscillator that compresses a low-lag trend core into a 0–100 style range using standard-deviation (SD) bands. It builds a smooth baseline from a fast triple-smoothed average, wraps it with ±2×SD volatility bounds, then normalizes the core value inside that envelope. Clear Long/Short regimes trigger when the normalized value crosses user-defined thresholds, with optional labels, regime-colored candles, and intuitive filled zones.
✨ Key Features
1.⚡ Low-Lag Core (Triple-Smooth Engine)
- Uses a fast, low-lag triple-smoothed average as the oscillator’s primary signal input.
- Helps keep momentum readings responsive while filtering noise.
2. 📏 SD Volatility Envelope (±2×SD)
- Builds a volatility channel around a smoothed baseline using standard deviation.
- Automatically adapts to changing market turbulence.
3. 🧮 Normalized Range Output
- Converts the core signal into a normalized value by mapping it between the upper/lower SD bounds.
- Makes readings consistent across assets and timeframes.
4. 🎯 Threshold-Based Regimes
- Long when the normalized value exceeds the Long threshold.
- Short when it falls below the Short threshold.
- Includes an additional safety filter to reduce “forced” longs when price is already extended near the upper envelope.
5. 🎨 Visual Clarity & Zones
- Regime-colored oscillator line and candles.
- Filled SD bands around the baseline for quick volatility context.
- Optional highlight fills between the oscillator and thresholds to show active long/short phases.
- Extra OB/OS background zones for quick overextension awareness.
6. 🔔 Signals & Alerts
- Optional “Long/Short” labels on confirmed regime flips.
- Alert conditions fire on long/short regime crossovers.
💼 Use Cases
• Momentum Confirmation: Validate breakouts by requiring SDRO to hold above the Long threshold.
• Mean-Reversion Awareness: Watch for extreme normalized readings near upper/lower bounds.
• Regime Filtering: Use SDRO state (Long/Short/Neutral) to filter trades from other systems.
• Cross-Market Comparison: Normalization makes it easier to compare momentum across different tickers.
🎯 For Who
• Trend traders who want a clean momentum filter with adaptive volatility context.
• System builders needing a simple regime variable (1 / -1 / neutral) to gate entries.
• Discretionary traders who like visual confirmation (fills, candle coloring, threshold zones).
• Multi-asset traders who benefit from normalized, comparable oscillator readings.
⚙️ Default Settings
• TEMA Period: 7

Momentum Echo Oscillator [Community Edition]Concept: The Momentum Echo Oscillator (MEO) is a modern take on classical momentum oscillators. Most indicators only look at the "now". MEO introduces the concept of Momentum Echoes—historical momentum harmonics that are weighted and blended back into the current price velocity.
Why use MEO? Standard momentum tools (like ROC or RSI) can be very "jittery" or noisy. By integrating historical echoes, MEO provides a smoother, more rhythmic representation of price flow, making it easier to spot genuine trend reversals.
Key Elements:
Primary Momentum: The immediate speed of price.
Echo Harmonics: Two adjustable lookback points that act as a "memory" for the indicator, filtering out false breakouts.
Dynamic Histogram: Visualizes the gap between the Echo Engine and the Trigger Line, highlighting acceleration and deceleration.
Settings:
Echo Weight: Adjust how much "memory" you want the indicator to have.
Smoothing: Clean up the signals for higher timeframes.

MACD-v Bullish/Bearish DivergenceMACD-v Bullish/Bearish Divergence
Overview This indicator is a specialized divergence detector based on the MACD-v (Volatility Normalized Momentum) concept. Unlike standard MACD which uses absolute price differences, MACD-v normalizes values against volatility (ATR), allowing for fixed, universal Overbought/Oversold thresholds across all assets and timeframes.
Recommendation: This script is highly effective when paired with the original MACD-v by Alex Spiroglou. While this indicator focuses on identifying and visualizing divergence entries, using the original oscillator alongside it provides the best visual context for the overall momentum structure.
How It Works
This tool uses a dual-signal mechanism (Raw Line + Signal Smooth) to identify specific divergence setups:
Setup (Yellow/Blue Dots): Identifies when price momentum has extended significantly into extreme zones (Overbought/Oversold).
Trigger (Red/Green Dots): Fires when price fails to make a new momentum extreme despite price action (classic divergence/failure swing).
Active State (Background Color): Once a trigger fires, the background highlights (Red for Bearish, Green for Bullish) to indicate an active divergence play.
Reset (Exit): The signal state clears when momentum returns to the neutral "safe zone."
Important Note: Momentum Washout
The colored background persists as long as the divergence trade remains valid. Traders should note the concept of "Momentum Washout":
Signal End: The background color turns off when the MACD returns to the neutral range, indicating the primary high-velocity impulse is over.
Performance Continuation: Significant positive or negative price performance can often continue even after the background signal ends. This period allows the remaining momentum to "wash out" or drift before the next major impulse.
Strategy Tip: The indicator is designed to capture the high-volatility portion of the reversal. Do not assume the end of the signal is the absolute top or bottom of the trend; it simply marks the normalization of momentum.
Strategy Recommendation: Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Divergence signals are most powerful when confirmed across timeframes. It is highly recommended to look for alignment before taking a trade:
Trend Confirmation: If you see a signal on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m or 15m), check a higher timeframe (e.g., 1H or 4H). A bullish divergence on the 5m is significantly more reliable if the 1H momentum is already bullish or oversold.
Signal Stacking: Valid signals often appear sequentially—first on the 1m, then the 5m, and finally the 15m. Waiting for this "cascade" can filter out false reversals.
Visual Guide
🔵 Blue Dot: Bullish Divergence Setup (Watch for entry).
🟢 Green Dot: Bullish Divergence Trigger (Long Entry).
🟡 Yellow Dot: Bearish Divergence Setup (Watch for entry).
🔴 Red Dot: Bearish Divergence Trigger (Short Entry).
Background Color: Indicates an active trade (Red = Bearish / Green = Bullish).
Settings
Auto-Detect: Automatically switches between Scalping settings (tighter thresholds) for low timeframes and Swing settings for high timeframes.
Strict Invalidation: If enabled, cancels a setup if momentum pushes too far in the opposite direction before triggering.
Active Signal Multiplier: Dynamically smooths the signal line only when a trade is active to prevent premature exits during choppy corrections.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes and trend analysis only. Always manage your risk appropriately.
Delta Pressure SpectrumWhat this indicator is (brief)
Delta Pressure Spectrum (DPS-3) is a volume-pressure oscillator that estimates buy vs sell imbalance (a delta proxy), then normalizes it into a robust z-score so “significant” pressure means the same thing across different volatility regimes and market conditions. It visualizes that pressure as delta candles + a histogram, and only “lights up” with three breach tiers (plus an ultra-rare white core) when the move is statistically extreme for the current environment.
How to use it:
1) Read it like a pressure gauge, not an entry signal
-Histogram/candle height = intensity of net pressure (buy-dominant vs sell-dominant).
It’s best at telling you: “Is this move real pressure or just price wiggling?”
2) The 3 tiers tell you “how abnormal” the pressure is
-Tier-1 (weak breach): meaningful but common; “something’s happening.”
-Tier-2 (strong breach): rare enough to care; often aligns with real expansions / squeezes / liquidation events.
-Tier-3 (extreme breach): statistically extreme; often shows climactic behavior (either continuation impulse or blow-off/flush conditions).
-White core: only when Tier-3 overshoots hard—treat as “exceptional event.”
Key idea: tiers are adaptive. Tier-2 on BTC 1m and Tier-2 on ES 1h should both represent “strong for that regime.”
3) Best ways to trade with it (high-signal)
-Trend continuation confirmation: In an uptrend, repeated Tier-2/Tier-3 on the up side = real demand; avoid fading unless structure breaks.
-Exhaustion / climax watch: Tier-3 + white core after an extended run = “crowded pressure.” That can precede either: continuation (if structure holds), or reversal / mean reversion (if structure fails).
So you use it as a warning light, then let price structure confirm.
-Compression → expansion detection:
-Quiet baseline for a while, then sudden Tier-2/Tier-3 = expansion regime shift.
-Divergence (use carefully): Price makes new high, DPS-3 fails to reach prior tier intensity → weakening participation. This is most useful on HTFs or at major levels.
4) What the alerts should mean (how you set them)
-Tier-3 breach alerts: your “something serious just hit the tape” alert.
-Pressure flip alerts: best used as contextual reversal confirmation (it requires strong context in your logic).
-White core alert: extremely rare “event mode” notification—use sparingly.
5) One simple rule that keeps you out of trouble
-Don’t fade Tier-2/Tier-3 pressure just because it’s extreme. Fade only when price structure says the move failed (break of trend / reclaim failure / key level loss). DPS-3 tells you strength, structure tells you directional validity.

QMF- Market Structure & Signal Suite [BullByte]QUANTUM MOMENTUM FUSION - Market Structure and Signal Suite
OVERVIEW
Quantum Momentum Fusion is a comprehensive market analysis framework built around a multi-dimensional momentum oscillator. This indicator was designed to give traders a complete analytical workspace in a single tool, combining momentum measurement, market structure identification, trendline analysis, divergence detection, and multi-timeframe context into one unified system.
The core philosophy behind QMF is that successful trading decisions come from understanding multiple aspects of market behavior simultaneously, not from relying on any single indicator or signal. The oscillator serves as the analytical foundation, and every other component builds upon it to create a complete picture of current market conditions.
This description will walk through each component of the indicator, explaining what it measures, why that information matters, and how to interpret what you see on the chart. Whether you are an experienced trader familiar with oscillator analysis or newer to technical indicators, each section aims to make the concepts accessible and practical.
THE QUANTUM ENGINE: UNDERSTANDING THE CORE OSCILLATOR (why its original and not a mashup)
At the heart of this indicator is the Quantum Momentum Fusion oscillator, displayed in its own pane below the price chart. Unlike traditional oscillators that measure a single aspect of price behavior, the QMF oscillator synthesizes four distinct market dimensions into one unified reading.
WHAT IS AN OSCILLATOR
For those less familiar with the term, an oscillator is a technical indicator that fluctuates between defined boundaries, typically showing whether an asset is experiencing strong buying pressure, strong selling pressure, or neutral conditions. The QMF oscillator moves between 0 and 100, with 50 representing the neutral midpoint.
When the oscillator is high (above 70), it suggests the market has experienced significant upward momentum and may be approaching exhaustion. When low (below 30), it suggests the market has experienced significant downward momentum and may be due for a bounce. The space between these extremes represents normal market fluctuation.
THE FOUR DIMENSIONS
What makes the QMF oscillator different from standard momentum indicators is that it combines four separate measurements into its calculation. Each dimension captures a different aspect of market behavior:
VELOCITY DIMENSION
This measures how quickly momentum itself is changing. Think of it like acceleration in a car. Knowing the car is moving forward (direction) is useful, but knowing whether the driver is pressing the accelerator or the brake (acceleration) tells you what is likely to happen next. The velocity dimension calculates the rate of change of the rate of change, providing early warning when momentum is about to shift direction. In practical terms, this can show momentum weakening before price actually reverses.
Why it matters: Price can continue in one direction for a while even after the underlying momentum starts to fade. By measuring acceleration, you can identify potential turning points earlier than with simple momentum indicators.
How it appears: This dimension is calculated internally and combined with the others. You do not see it separately, but its effect shows in the oscillator responding earlier to momentum shifts.
VOLUME DIMENSION
This measures price movement weighted by trading volume. A price move accompanied by high volume has different significance than the same price move on low volume. High volume suggests conviction and participation from larger traders. Low volume suggests the move may lack follow-through.
The volume dimension multiplies price change by a volume ratio (current volume compared to average volume), giving greater weight to moves that have volume confirmation behind them.
Why it matters: Volume often precedes price. Strong volume on a move suggests institutional participation and increases the probability that the move will continue. Weak volume on a move suggests it may be easily reversed.
How it appears: Moves with strong volume conviction will push the oscillator more definitively, while low-volume moves will have muted effect on the reading.
VOLATILITY DIMENSION
This normalizes price movement against the current volatility environment. Markets go through periods of high volatility (large price swings) and low volatility (small price swings). A 1% move during a low volatility period is more significant than a 1% move during a high volatility period.
The volatility dimension divides price change by Average True Range (ATR), which measures typical price range. This tells you whether current movement is significant relative to what is normal for this market right now.
Why it matters: Without volatility normalization, the oscillator would react the same way to all price moves regardless of context. By adjusting for volatility, the oscillator identifies moves that are genuinely significant versus normal noise within the current regime.
How it appears: During quiet markets, smaller price moves can still register as significant if they exceed normal volatility. During volatile markets, the oscillator will not overreact to moves that are within expected range.
SESSION DIMENSION
This tracks where price is positioned relative to the session Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). VWAP represents the average price at which trading has occurred during the session, weighted by volume. Institutional traders often use VWAP as a benchmark for fair value.
When price is consistently above VWAP, it suggests buyers are willing to pay above average prices, indicating accumulation. When price is consistently below VWAP, it suggests sellers are accepting below average prices, indicating distribution.
Why it matters: VWAP positioning provides insight into whether institutional traders are likely accumulating or distributing. Price repeatedly returning to and bouncing from VWAP can indicate support, while price repeatedly failing at VWAP can indicate resistance.
How it appears: The session dimension contributes bullish readings when price maintains above VWAP and bearish readings when price maintains below VWAP.
ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING
The four dimensions are combined using configurable weights, and the system can operate in Adaptive Mode. When Adaptive Mode is enabled, the indicator automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on the current volatility regime. During high volatility periods, sensitivity increases to capture larger moves. During low volatility periods, sensitivity decreases to filter out noise.
This means the oscillator adapts to changing market conditions without requiring manual adjustment.
READING THE OSCILLATOR: DISPLAY MODES AND ZONES
The QMF oscillator can be displayed in four different visual formats. Each shows the same underlying data but presents it differently based on trader preference.
ENERGY CANDLES
This mode displays the oscillator as candlestick-style candles. Just as price candles show open, high, low, and close for price, energy candles show these values for the QMF oscillator.
Green candles indicate the oscillator closed higher than it opened (bullish momentum). Red candles indicate the oscillator closed lower than it opened (bearish momentum). The body size shows how much the oscillator moved during the period. Larger bodies indicate stronger momentum conviction.
This format is useful for traders who are comfortable reading candlestick patterns and want to apply similar visual analysis to the oscillator.
QMF LINE
This mode displays the oscillator as a traditional line chart with a signal line overlay. The main QMF line shows current momentum. The signal line is a smoothed average of the QMF that helps identify direction changes.
When the QMF line is above the signal line, momentum is bullish. When below, momentum is bearish. Crossovers between the two lines can indicate momentum shifts.
This format is familiar to traders who use indicators like MACD and prefer clean line-based visualization.
IMPULSE BARS
This mode displays the oscillator as a histogram centered on the 50 midline. Bars above 50 indicate bullish momentum, bars below 50 indicate bearish momentum. Bar height shows momentum strength.
The color intensity changes based on momentum direction. Bars that are increasing in the bullish direction show brighter color. Bars that are decreasing show muted color. This makes it easy to see momentum acceleration and deceleration at a glance.
HEIKIN FLOW
This mode applies Heikin-Ashi smoothing to the energy candles. Heikin-Ashi is a Japanese technique that averages price data to create smoother trends with fewer reversals.
The result is cleaner visual trends that are easier to follow, though with slightly more lag than standard energy candles. This format is useful for identifying sustained momentum moves without getting distracted by minor fluctuations.
OSCILLATOR ZONES
Regardless of display mode, the oscillator pane includes horizontal reference lines that define important zones:
Midline at 50: The neutral point. When the oscillator is above 50, overall momentum is bullish. When below 50, overall momentum is bearish.
Overbought level at 70: When the oscillator crosses above this level, the market is showing strong bullish momentum. However, this also means prices have risen significantly and bearish reversal probability increases the longer the oscillator stays elevated.
Oversold level at 30: When the oscillator crosses below this level, the market is showing strong bearish momentum. However, this also means prices have fallen significantly and bullish reversal probability increases.
Extreme overbought at 85: Maximum bullish exhaustion. At this level, almost all short-term buying pressure has been expended. Reversal probability is high.
Extreme oversold at 15: Maximum bearish exhaustion. At this level, almost all short-term selling pressure has been expended. Reversal probability is high.
Understanding these zones helps you assess the current market condition before looking at any other indicator components.
MARKET STRUCTURE: DYNAMIC SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE
The second major component of the indicator is market structure analysis through dynamic support and resistance levels. Unlike price-based support and resistance, these levels are calculated directly on the oscillator.
WHAT ARE OSCILLATOR-BASED S/R LEVELS
When the QMF oscillator reaches a high point and then reverses lower, that high point becomes a resistance level on the oscillator. When the oscillator reaches a low point and then reverses higher, that low point becomes a support level.
These levels represent momentum thresholds that the market has previously found difficult to exceed. They answer the question: At what momentum reading has the oscillator historically reversed?
WHY THIS MATTERS
Oscillator support and resistance provides different information than price support and resistance. Price S/R tells you where buyers and sellers have previously entered the market. Oscillator S/R tells you what level of momentum the market has been able to sustain.
If the oscillator approaches its resistance level, it suggests momentum is reaching the upper bounds of what has been achievable recently. Either momentum will break through (indicating unusually strong conditions) or it will reverse (indicating normal mean reversion).
Similarly, if the oscillator approaches support, it suggests momentum is reaching exhaustion levels that have previously triggered bounces.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Resistance is displayed as a horizontal red line with a RES label on the oscillator pane. Support is displayed as a horizontal cyan line with a SUP label. These lines update dynamically as new pivots form.
When the oscillator breaks through these levels, markers appear:
R with up arrow: Resistance level broken, indicating unusually strong bullish momentum
S with down arrow: Support level broken, indicating unusually strong bearish momentum
R with checkmark: Resistance held, price rejected at this level
S with checkmark: Support held, price bounced from this level
The dashboard also shows current S/R status: whether the oscillator recently broke resistance, broke support, is currently at resistance, is currently at support, or is in clear space between levels.
AUTOMATED TRENDLINES: MOMENTUM TREND STRUCTURE
The third major component is automated trendline detection on the oscillator. This identifies trending behavior in momentum itself, separate from price trends.
WHAT ARE OSCILLATOR TRENDLINES
Just as you can draw trendlines on a price chart connecting swing lows (uptrend) or swing highs (downtrend), the indicator draws trendlines on the oscillator connecting pivot points.
Support trendlines connect oscillator pivot lows and project forward with a flat or rising slope. These show upward trending momentum where each pullback finds support at a higher level.
Resistance trendlines connect oscillator pivot highs and project forward with a flat or falling slope. These show downward trending momentum where each rally faces resistance at a lower level.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Price trends and momentum trends do not always align. Price can continue making higher highs while momentum makes lower highs, a condition called bearish divergence. Momentum trendlines help visualize this behavior.
When momentum is making higher lows (rising support trendline), it suggests underlying strength even if price is consolidating. When momentum is making lower highs (falling resistance trendline), it suggests underlying weakness even if price is holding.
Breaks of these trendlines often precede price moves. If a falling momentum resistance trendline breaks upward, it suggests bearish pressure is releasing and bullish momentum may follow. If a rising momentum support trendline breaks downward, it suggests bullish pressure is failing and bearish momentum may follow.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Support trendlines appear in blue/cyan, resistance trendlines appear in pink/magenta. Lines extend forward from the most recent pivot point to show projected levels.
Small circle markers can optionally appear at each pivot point used to construct the trendlines, helping you verify the anchor points.
When the oscillator breaks through a trendline, markers appear:
TL with up arrow: Resistance trendline broken upward (bullish breakout)
TL with down arrow: Support trendline broken downward (bearish breakdown)
Trendline strength is calculated based on three factors: how many pivot points validate the line, how recently it formed, and the angle of the slope. Stronger trendlines have more touches, formed recently, and have moderate slopes. You can filter trendlines by strength to show only the most significant ones.
Optional trendline zones can display a shaded area around each trendline rather than just a single line, showing a zone of influence rather than a precise level.
DIVERGENCE: WHEN PRICE AND MOMENTUM DISAGREE
The fourth major component is divergence detection, which identifies discrepancies between price action and oscillator behavior.
WHAT IS DIVERGENCE
Divergence occurs when price makes a new high or low, but the oscillator fails to confirm it. This disagreement between price and momentum often precedes reversals.
There are four types of divergence:
REGULAR BULLISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a lower low (new low point below the previous low), but the oscillator makes a higher low (its low point is above its previous low). This suggests that despite price going lower, selling momentum is actually weakening. The implication is that sellers are losing conviction and a bounce or reversal may be approaching.
Visual example: Imagine price drops from 100 to 95, bounces to 97, then drops again to 93. At the same time, the oscillator drops to 25, bounces to 35, then drops only to 30. Price made a lower low (93 vs 95) but the oscillator made a higher low (30 vs 25). This is regular bullish divergence.
REGULAR BEARISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a higher high (new high point above the previous high), but the oscillator makes a lower high (its high point is below its previous high). This suggests that despite price going higher, buying momentum is actually weakening. The implication is that buyers are losing conviction and a pullback or reversal may be approaching.
HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a higher low (its low point is above its previous low), but the oscillator makes a lower low (new low below its previous low). This occurs during uptrends and suggests the trend will continue. Price is holding higher but momentum briefly dipped further, indicating a temporary pullback within a larger uptrend.
HIDDEN BEARISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a lower high (its high point is below its previous high), but the oscillator makes a higher high (new high above its previous high). This occurs during downtrends and suggests the trend will continue. Price is staying lower but momentum briefly spiked higher, indicating a temporary bounce within a larger downtrend.
Regular divergence suggests reversal. Hidden divergence suggests continuation.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
When divergence is confirmed, labels appear on the oscillator:
BULL DIV: Regular bullish divergence confirmed
BEAR DIV: Regular bearish divergence confirmed
H-BULL: Hidden bullish divergence confirmed
H-BEAR: Hidden bearish divergence confirmed
Dotted lines connect the pivot points on the oscillator to show the divergence pattern. Regular divergence uses solid colored lines, hidden divergence uses dashed lines.
The dashboard shows divergence status in real-time:
CHECKING BULL: A potential bullish divergence pattern is forming but not yet confirmed
CHECKING BEAR: A potential bearish divergence pattern is forming but not yet confirmed
BULL CONFIRMED: Bullish divergence has been validated
BEAR CONFIRMED: Bearish divergence has been validated
NONE: No divergence currently active
Divergence strength is calculated from the magnitude of the oscillator discrepancy. Only divergences meeting the minimum strength threshold are displayed to filter out minor, less significant patterns.
FLOW RIBBONS: VISUALIZING MOMENTUM ALIGNMENT
The fifth major component is the Flow Ribbon system, which displays multiple moving averages of the QMF oscillator to visualize momentum trend and alignment.
WHAT ARE FLOW RIBBONS
Flow ribbons consist of three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) applied to the QMF oscillator values. Think of them as smoothed versions of the oscillator at different speeds:
Fast Ribbon : Responds quickly to momentum changes, showing recent momentum direction
Medium Ribbon: Balances responsiveness with smoothness, showing intermediate momentum
Slow Ribbon: Moves slowly and shows longer-term momentum context
When these three lines are plotted together with filled area between them, they create a visual ribbon that expands and contracts based on momentum conditions.
WHY RIBBON ALIGNMENT MATTERS
The relationship between these three averages tells you about momentum structure:
BULLISH ALIGNMENT (Fast above Medium above Slow)
When the ribbons are stacked with fast on top, medium in middle, and slow on bottom, momentum is aligned bullishly across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum leads, with medium and long-term momentum confirming. This is the strongest bullish configuration.
BEARISH ALIGNMENT (Fast below Medium below Slow)
When the ribbons are inverted with fast on bottom, medium in middle, and slow on top, momentum is aligned bearishly across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum leads downward, with medium and long-term momentum confirming. This is the strongest bearish configuration.
MIXED/TRANSITIONING
When the ribbons are not properly stacked, momentum is in transition. This often occurs during consolidation, trend changes, or choppy conditions. Trading during mixed ribbon states carries higher uncertainty.
RIBBON EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
Beyond alignment, the distance between the fast and slow ribbon provides additional information:
EXPANDING RIBBON
When the gap between fast and slow ribbon is increasing, momentum is accelerating. In a bullish alignment with expansion, upward momentum is strengthening. In a bearish alignment with expansion, downward momentum is strengthening. Expansion confirms trend conviction.
CONTRACTING RIBBON
When the gap between fast and slow ribbon is decreasing, momentum is decelerating. The current trend may be losing steam. Contraction often precedes consolidation or reversal. It serves as an early warning that the current move may be exhausting.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
The fast ribbon appears as a thicker line, the slow ribbon as a thinner line. The area between them fills with color:
Green fill: Bullish ribbon alignment
Red fill: Bearish ribbon alignment
Gray fill: Neutral or transitioning state
The dashboard shows ribbon state as BULL, BEAR, or NEUT, and indicates whether ribbons are expanding (EXP) or contracting (CON).
Ribbon crossovers occur when the fast ribbon crosses the slow ribbon, signaling potential momentum shifts. These crossovers are confirmed only after the bar closes to prevent false signals from intrabar movement.
REVERSAL CLOUDS: PROBABILITY ZONES
The sixth major component is the Reversal Cloud system, which visualizes zones where momentum reversals have elevated probability.
WHAT ARE REVERSAL CLOUDS
Reversal clouds are shaded areas around the QMF oscillator that indicate probability zones for mean reversion. They answer the question: How far from average has momentum extended, and what is the probability it will revert?
When the oscillator moves far from its normal range, it creates stretched conditions. Like a rubber band pulled to its limit, the probability increases that it will snap back toward center. Reversal clouds visualize these stretched conditions.
CLOUD CALCULATION METHODS
Five different calculation methods are available, each with different characteristics:
DYNAMIC BOLLINGER
Uses statistical standard deviation to create bands that adapt to oscillator volatility. When the oscillator is volatile, bands widen. When the oscillator is calm, bands narrow. This method identifies moves that are statistically significant relative to recent oscillator behavior.
GOLDEN RATIO
Applies Fibonacci proportions (0.214 and 0.786) to the oscillator range. These ratios appear throughout nature and markets. Some traders believe these proportions have psychological significance in market behavior.
ADAPTIVE HALO
Scales cloud width based on price ATR rather than oscillator volatility. This connects cloud width to actual price volatility, making the clouds wider during volatile price action and narrower during calm periods.
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE
Uses short-term standard deviation to create bands that contract during low volatility and expand during high volatility. This method is particularly useful for identifying potential breakout conditions when volatility is compressed.
ICHIMOKU RSI
Applies concepts from Ichimoku Kinko Hyo equilibrium theory to create balanced zones. Uses multiple lookback periods to establish equilibrium levels where the oscillator tends to find balance.
HOW TO READ THE CLOUDS
The oscillator moves through the cloud area as momentum fluctuates:
When QMF enters the upper cloud region, it indicates extended bullish momentum. The higher into the cloud, the greater the probability of bearish reversal through mean reversion.
When QMF enters the lower cloud region, it indicates extended bearish momentum. The deeper into the cloud, the greater the probability of bullish reversal through mean reversion.
Cloud opacity adjusts based on reversal probability. More opaque coloring indicates higher reversal probability. Subtle coloring indicates lower reversal probability.
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING
Clouds show probability zones, not certainty. Price can remain in extreme zones longer than expected, particularly during strong trends. Clouds are most useful when combined with other components like divergence, S/R breaks, and ribbon alignment rather than used in isolation.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS: SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE
The seventh major component is Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis, which calculates QMF values across multiple timeframes to assess momentum alignment at different time perspectives.
WHY MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES MATTER
The timeframe you trade on shows only one perspective of market momentum. A bullish signal on a 15-minute chart may occur within a larger bearish trend on the 4-hour chart. Understanding momentum context from higher timeframes helps you assess whether you are trading with or against the larger flow.
When multiple timeframes align in the same direction, the probability of a successful trade increases. When timeframes conflict, the situation is more uncertain and requires additional caution.
HOW MTF ANALYSIS WORKS
The indicator calculates the full QMF oscillator independently on four configurable timeframes. By default, these are set to 5-minute, 15-minute, 60-minute (1 hour), and 240-minute (4 hour), but you can configure them to any timeframes that suit your trading style.
For each timeframe, the system determines the current momentum bias:
OB - Overbought: QMF above 70, indicating extended bullish momentum that may reverse
B+ - Strong Bullish: QMF above 55 and above its signal line, indicating solid bullish momentum
B - Bullish: QMF above its signal line, indicating mild bullish momentum
N - Neutral: QMF near 50 with no clear direction
S - Bearish: QMF below its signal line, indicating mild bearish momentum
S+ - Strong Bearish: QMF below 45 and below its signal line, indicating solid bearish momentum
OS - Oversold: QMF below 30, indicating extended bearish momentum that may reverse
ALIGNMENT SCORING
The dashboard displays an alignment score showing how many of the four timeframes agree with each directional bias. This appears as a fraction like 3/4 or 2/4.
4/4 Bullish: All four timeframes show bullish readings - maximum bullish alignment
3/4 Bullish: Three timeframes bullish, one diverging - strong bullish alignment
2/4: Split between bullish and bearish - no clear alignment, use caution
3/4 Bearish: Three timeframes bearish, one diverging - strong bearish alignment
4/4 Bearish: All four timeframes show bearish readings - maximum bearish alignment
Higher alignment scores indicate more reliable momentum context. Trading with 3/4 or 4/4 alignment in your favor provides better odds than trading against alignment or during mixed conditions.
NON-REPAINTING MTF DATA
The multi-timeframe data uses proper request.security settings with lookahead disabled and gaps handled correctly. This ensures the MTF readings you see in backtesting match what you would see in real-time trading, with no future data leakage that could create misleading results.
LIVE MOMENTUM SCORING: REAL-TIME MARKET ASSESSMENT
The eighth major component is the Live Momentum Scoring system, which provides continuous real-time feedback on current market conditions.
WHAT IS LIVE MOMENTUM SCORING
Unlike signals which only appear when specific patterns complete, live momentum scores update every bar to show the current balance between bullish and bearish factors. This answers the question: Right now, how do the bullish factors compare to the bearish factors?
The system evaluates six categories for each direction and adds up points:
ZONE POSITION (0-25 points)
Rewards positioning in favorable oscillator zones. Deep oversold positioning adds points to the bullish score. Deep overbought positioning adds points to the bearish score. Extreme zones receive maximum points, moderate zones receive partial points, neutral zones receive zero.
DIVERGENCE (0-20 points)
Rewards active or forming divergence patterns. Confirmed divergence receives full points. Forming (checking) divergence receives partial credit. No divergence receives zero points.
TREND ALIGNMENT (0-20 points)
Rewards proper EMA stacking and trend MA positioning. Full bullish EMA stack (fast above medium above slow above trend MA) receives maximum bullish points. Partial alignment receives partial points.
MOMENTUM DIRECTION (0-15 points)
Rewards current momentum direction and acceleration. Accelerating momentum in the favorable direction receives maximum points. Simple directional momentum receives moderate points. Histogram turning (early reversal signs) receives partial points.
RIBBON STATE (0-10 points)
Rewards proper ribbon alignment and expansion. Aligned and expanding ribbons receive maximum points. Aligned but contracting ribbons receive moderate points. Mixed ribbons receive zero points.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME (0-10 points)
Rewards higher timeframe alignment. 4/4 alignment receives maximum points, scaling down as alignment decreases.
READING THE LIVE SCORES
The dashboard displays current scores for both directions:
BULL: Shows bullish score as percentage (0-100) and letter grade (A through D)
BEAR: Shows bearish score as percentage (0-100) and letter grade (A through D)
BIAS: Shows which direction currently dominates (BULL, BEAR, or NEUTRAL if close)
Grade thresholds:
A Grade: 70% or higher - Strong momentum factors aligned
B Grade: 50-69% - Moderate momentum factors present
C Grade: 30-49% - Some momentum factors but incomplete
D Grade: Below 30% - Weak or missing momentum factors
The dominant bias shows which direction currently has stronger factors. When one side leads by more than 10 points, it shows that direction. Otherwise, it shows NEUTRAL indicating balanced or mixed conditions.
WHY LIVE SCORING MATTERS
Live scores help you understand current market conditions even when no signal has fired. You can see momentum building or fading in real-time. A rising bullish score suggests conditions are improving for potential long opportunities. A rising bearish score suggests conditions are deteriorating.
This continuous feedback helps with:
- Anticipating potential signals before they fire
- Assessing whether to act on signals that do fire
- Understanding why a signal did or did not appear
- Monitoring open positions for changing conditions
THE DASHBOARD: YOUR ANALYSIS CONTROL CENTER

HOW SIGNALS EMERGE FROM CONFLUENCE
After understanding all the individual components, it becomes clear how signals are generated. Signals in QMF are not arbitrary triggers based on single conditions. They emerge when multiple independent factors align to create confluence.
THE PATTERN-BASED APPROACH
The signal system uses a hierarchical pattern-based approach. Rather than calculating a score from random factors and labeling it, the system actively hunts for specific predefined pattern combinations.
The system first checks for Grade A patterns. If none are found, it checks for Grade B patterns. If none are found, it checks for Grade C patterns. Each grade represents specific combinations of factors that must be present together.
GRADE A REQUIREMENTS
Grade A patterns require multiple strong factors aligned. Examples of Grade A pattern combinations:
Pattern A1 - Perfect Storm Reversal:
- Extreme zone positioning (deeply oversold or overbought)
- Confirmed regular divergence
- Structural break (resistance broken or support broken or trendline broken)
- Strong volume conviction (1.3x or higher)
- High MTF alignment (3 or more timeframes agreeing)
Pattern A2 - Breakout Conviction:
- Resistance or support broken
- Accelerating momentum in the breakout direction
- Full EMA stack aligned
- Ribbon aligned and expanding
- Strong volume conviction (1.4x or higher)
- Good MTF alignment (2 or more timeframes)
Pattern A3 - Zone Reversal Multi-Confirmation:
- Extreme or standard zone positioning
- Regular or hidden divergence confirmed
- Active bounce from zone
- EMA crossover or MA break in reversal direction
- Good MTF alignment (2 or more timeframes)
- Volume conviction present (1.2x or higher)
All factors in the pattern must be present simultaneously. Missing any single factor disqualifies the Grade A pattern.
GRADE B REQUIREMENTS
Grade B patterns require fewer but still meaningful confirmations. These patterns fire only when no Grade A pattern is detected:
Pattern B1 - Zone with Confirmation:
- Oversold or overbought zone positioning
- Momentum in reversal direction
- Hidden divergence, EMA crossover, or trendline break present
- Minimum MTF alignment met
Pattern B2 - Divergence with Structure:
- Regular or hidden divergence confirmed
- Structural break (S/R or trendline or MA)
- Momentum confirming direction
- Volume at least average
Pattern B3 - Clean Trend Continuation:
- Above or below trend MA
- Ribbon aligned in direction
- Oscillator crossed signal line
- EMA stack complete
GRADE C REQUIREMENTS
Grade C patterns require basic confirmations. These patterns fire only when no Grade A or Grade B pattern is detected:
Pattern C1 - Early Zone Entry:
- Zone positioning or approaching zone
- Momentum in expected direction
- Oscillator or EMA crossover present
Pattern C2 - Momentum Shift:
- Histogram turning in expected direction
- Oscillator crossover confirmed
- Oscillator on expected side of midline
SIGNAL QUALITY CONTROLS
Beyond pattern detection, several quality controls must be satisfied:
COOLDOWN
A minimum number of bars must pass between any two signals. This prevents signal clustering during volatile conditions and ensures each signal represents a distinct opportunity.
DIRECTION ALTERNATION
When enabled, signals must alternate between LONG and SHORT. After a LONG signal, only SHORT signals can fire until direction changes. This prevents multiple consecutive signals in the same direction.
PULLBACK REQUIREMENT
After a signal fires, the oscillator must retrace a minimum percentage before another same-direction signal can fire. This ensures re-entry signals occur after meaningful pullbacks rather than immediately after the first signal.
VOLUME CONFIRMATION (Optional)
When enabled, volume must meet minimum threshold relative to average. This filters out signals during low-volume periods when moves may lack follow-through.
BAR CONFIRMATION
All signals require barstate.isconfirmed, meaning they only fire after the bar closes. This prevents signals from appearing and disappearing during live bar formation, ensuring backtest results match live behavior.
A comprehensive example that combines signal generation logic, grading system, with all elements clearly annotated for easy understanding.
SETTINGS REFERENCE
This section provides a reference for the main configurable settings organized by category.
QUANTUM ENGINE SETTINGS
Sensitivity (5-50): Primary lookback period for momentum calculations. Lower values respond faster but may include more noise. Higher values smooth the oscillator but increase lag. Default 14 balances responsiveness with stability.
Smoothing (1-10): Exponential smoothing applied to final QMF value. Higher values reduce noise, lower values preserve detail. Default 3 provides good noise reduction.
Adaptive Mode: When enabled, automatically adjusts sensitivity based on volatility regime. Increases sensitivity during high volatility, decreases during low volatility.
Dimension Toggles: Enable or disable each of the four dimensions (Velocity, Volume, Volatility, Session) individually. Useful for customizing the oscillator for specific instruments or conditions.
Dimension Weights: Adjust relative contribution of each dimension. Weights are normalized so they do not need to sum to 1.0. Higher weight means that dimension has more influence on the final value.
Signal Length: EMA period for the signal line. Lower values make signal line more responsive, higher values make it smoother.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: READING THE COMPLETE PICTURE
This example walks through analyzing a chart using all the indicator components together.
SCENARIO: You are analyzing a 15-minute chart looking for trading opportunities.
STEP 1: ASSESS OSCILLATOR ZONE
You look at the QMF oscillator and see it reading 24, which is in the oversold zone. The dashboard confirms this showing OVERSOLD in the zone status. The progress bar shows the oscillator is in the lower portion of its range.
Initial assessment: The market has experienced significant selling pressure and is in territory where bullish reversals have elevated probability.
STEP 2: CHECK STRUCTURE
You look at the dynamic S/R levels. The oscillator recently touched its support level at 22 and bounced. You see an S with checkmark marker indicating support held. The dashboard shows AT SUP status.
Assessment update: The oscillator found support at a level that has held before. This adds to the bullish case.
STEP 3: EXAMINE TRENDLINES
You notice a resistance trendline connecting recent oscillator highs that has been declining. The oscillator is currently approaching this trendline from below. No break has occurred yet.
Assessment update: There is overhead resistance that will need to be cleared. A break above would be significant.
STEP 4: CHECK DIVERGENCE
The dashboard shows BULL CONFIRMED in the divergence status. Looking at the oscillator, you see a BULL DIV label with a dotted line connecting two pivot lows. The oscillator made a higher low while price made a lower low.
Assessment update: Confirmed bullish divergence suggests selling momentum is weakening despite price continuing lower. This is a meaningful signal of potential reversal.
STEP 5: EVALUATE RIBBONS
The ribbons are currently mixed with fast below medium but both above slow. Ribbon fill is gray indicating transitioning state. However, you notice the fast ribbon is turning upward and approaching the medium ribbon from below.
Assessment update: Ribbons are not yet aligned bullish, but appear to be transitioning. A bullish crossover may be approaching.
STEP 6: CHECK MTF ALIGNMENT
The dashboard MTF panel shows: 5m is B+, 15m is B, 1H is N, 4H is S. The alignment shows 2/4 bullish.
Assessment update: Lower timeframes support bullish bias, but higher timeframes are neutral or bearish. This is mixed alignment, suggesting caution. Any bullish move may face resistance from higher timeframe sellers.
STEP 7: REVIEW LIVE MOMENTUM SCORES
Dashboard shows BULL at 52% Grade B, BEAR at 28% Grade D. Dominant bias shows BULL.
Assessment update: Bullish factors currently outweigh bearish factors. The score suggests moderate bullish conditions, not yet strong.
STEP 8: SYNTHESIS
Putting it together:
- Oversold zone positioning (bullish factor)
- Support held (bullish factor)
- Bullish divergence confirmed (strong bullish factor)
- Ribbons transitioning but not yet aligned (neutral)
- MTF alignment mixed at 2/4 (caution factor)
- Live score favors bullish moderately (supporting factor)
- Resistance trendline overhead (risk factor)
Conclusion: Conditions favor a bullish reversal but with caution warranted due to mixed MTF alignment and overhead resistance. This would not qualify for a Grade A signal due to insufficient MTF alignment. If a signal fires, it would likely be Grade B.
STEP 9: SIGNAL FIRES
Several bars later, the oscillator crosses above its signal line while still in oversold territory. The EMA fast crosses above EMA slow. A LONG B signal appears at 85% confluence.
The signal represents: Oversold positioning plus confirmed divergence plus momentum crossover, meeting Grade B pattern requirements.
STEP 10: MONITORING
After entry, you monitor the dashboard for changing conditions. Live momentum scores continue rising. The resistance trendline breaks (TL up arrow marker appears). Ribbons align bullish. MTF alignment improves to 3/4 as the 1H turns bullish.
The improving conditions confirm the trade thesis. You hold the position as conditions strengthen.

PowerWave Oscillator Suite [BOSWaves]PowerWave Oscillator Suite - Multi-Dimensional Momentum & Trend Oscillator with Adaptive Divergence Insight
Overview
PowerWave Oscillator Suite is a cutting-edge analytical toolkit designed to provide traders with a sophisticated understanding of momentum, trend strength, and divergence behavior in financial markets. Unlike conventional oscillators that rely solely on price-based calculations, PowerWave combines adaptive, multi-dimensional computation engines with advanced visualization tools and divergence detection systems. The suite offers a unique blend of trend-following, mean-reversion, and contrarian trading insights, allowing users to analyze markets from multiple angles simultaneously. Each module within the suite has been designed to offer precision, clarity, and adaptability, ensuring that traders of all levels - from novice to professional - can extract actionable intelligence without unnecessary chart clutter or signal ambiguity.
PowerWave Oscillator Suite focuses on three primary trading paradigms: momentum measurement, volume-based filtering, and smoothed trend oscillation. These paradigms are accessible via three core modules - Aroon Oscillator, Adaptive Volume Filter, and HyperSmooth Oscillator - each equipped with advanced smoothing, dynamic source selection, reduced-lag computation, and divergence detection, offering a comprehensive approach to market analysis. By leveraging the full capabilities of this toolkit, traders can identify market turning points, confirm trend strength, detect hidden divergences, and refine entries and exits, all within a single integrated framework.
Configuration Panel and Customization Options
At the heart of PowerWave is a robust configuration panel that allows users to tailor the suite to their individual trading preferences and market conditions. The first level of customization is the Module Selection, allowing users to toggle between the Aroon Oscillator, Adaptive Volume Filter, or HyperSmooth Oscillator. Each module is designed with a distinct analytical purpose:
Aroon Oscillator : Measures trend strength and provides early signals for trend reversals or continuation.
Adaptive Volume Filter : Uses volume-based filtering to highlight momentum shifts, smoothing out noise from price fluctuations.
HyperSmooth Oscillator : Delivers finely smoothed oscillations, designed to capture micro-trend shifts and acceleration patterns.
Users can enhance the responsiveness and filtering behavior of each module via the Enhancement Level setting, a numeric input that applies a series of multi-stage exponential smoothing layers, ensuring signals are robust against market noise without introducing excessive lag. Additionally, the Source Type option allows traders to determine the price input methodology - ranging from adaptive combinations of open, high, low, and close values to more traditional sources - granting flexibility to align the indicator with preferred strategies or asset characteristics.
Engineered Visual Intelligence and Module-Specific Color Systems
PowerWave employs purpose-built, module-specific color systems that are tightly integrated with each oscillator’s underlying computation model. Rather than treating color as a cosmetic layer, the suite uses color as an informational channel, encoding state, momentum bias, and structural context directly into the visual output.
Each module operates with a dedicated color logic aligned to its analytical role:
The Aroon Oscillator uses polarity-driven gradients to express time-based trend dominance and directional strength.
The Adaptive Volume Filter applies contrasting color states to distinguish expanding versus contracting volume pressure.
The HyperSmooth Oscillator utilizes a dynamic HSV-based color spectrum that continuously maps momentum acceleration and deceleration into the oscillator line itself.
These color systems are reinforced through coordinated visual elements, including bar coloring, background state highlighting, histogram fills, and cross-condition shading. Users can further tune visual intensity and emphasis through enhanced mode and opacity controls, allowing the same engineered color logic to be amplified or subdued depending on chart density and personal workflow.
By designing color behavior as an extension of the calculation engine - rather than an arbitrary styling choice - PowerWave ensures that visual cues remain consistent, data-driven, and immediately interpretable across assets, timeframes, and market regimes.
Dynamic Source and Zero-Lag Computation
A defining characteristic of PowerWave Oscillator Suite is its Dynamic Source Calculation engine, which adjusts the input price series according to the trader’s chosen source type and enhancement level. This system ensures that signals are computed from a refined, noise-filtered base, enhancing reliability across asset classes and timeframes. Each stage of the multi-level smoothing hierarchy incrementally reduces erratic price fluctuations while preserving meaningful structural movement, allowing traders to differentiate between minor price noise and genuine momentum shifts.
Complementing this is the Adaptive Reduced-Lag Filter, a highly specialized algorithm that minimizes lag inherent in traditional moving averages or oscillators. This filter uses a gain-optimized EMA structure that continuously self-adjusts based on recent price dynamics, providing traders with fast yet reliable signals. By incorporating zero-lag calculations, PowerWave ensures that trend reversals and momentum inflections are detected in near real-time, allowing for earlier entries, faster confirmations, and more accurate exits. The reduced-lag filter also dynamically adjusts its internal gain coefficients, minimizing error while accounting for varying market volatility.
Aroon Oscillator Module
The Aroon Oscillator module within PowerWave is designed to quantify trend strength and identify emerging directional shifts. Utilizing a dual-period calculation, the module compares the relative timing of recent highs and lows, producing a normalized oscillation that reflects the market’s current momentum. Advanced zero-lag filtering ensures that even minor reversals or trend accelerations are captured with minimal delay, while additional smoothing can be applied via the configuration panel to match the trader’s preferred sensitivity.
The module includes trend and mean-reversion signal detection:
Trend Signals : Generated when the oscillator crosses the zero line, indicating potential trend continuation or initiation.
Reversion Signals : Triggered by crossovers between the oscillator and its internal signal line, highlighting potential pullbacks or temporary counter-trend behavior.
Visual overlays, including bar coloring and gradient plots, highlight bullish and bearish momentum zones, making it immediately apparent whether the market is in a trending or consolidating state. By combining trend and reversion insights with divergence detection, traders gain a multi-layered understanding of market structure, allowing for well-timed entries and exits.
Use Case:
Use the Aroon Oscillator when your primary objective is identifying real trend shifts early and staying aligned with structure. This model excels in markets transitioning from consolidation into expansion, where timing matters more than micro-entries. Zero-line crosses define directional regime changes, while signal-line crossovers expose mean-reversion pullbacks within a dominant trend. Divergences here are high-quality because Aroon measures time-based strength, not just price movement - making this ideal for swing traders and intraday trend followers who want confirmation before committing size.
Adaptive Volume Filter Module
The Adaptive Volume Filter takes a fundamentally different approach, analyzing volume-driven market behavior. By transforming price inputs with volume-weighted calculations and applying an adaptive multi-stage smoothing engine, this module emphasizes genuine buying and selling pressure while suppressing noise caused by small, indecisive bars.
Key features include:
Dynamic Thresholding : Traders can set threshold levels to define oversold or overbought regions based on relative volume patterns.
Multi-tiered Signal Generation : Local trend signals identify moderate momentum shifts, while oversold/overbought conditions trigger stronger trade opportunities.
Volume-Cycle Adaptation : The filter adapts to cyclical volume patterns, ensuring that signals remain valid during periods of high or low market participation.
This module is particularly effective for spotting institutional accumulation/distribution, validating trends, and detecting early inflection points where price action alone might be misleading.
Use Case:
Select the Adaptive Volume Filter when you want to validate price movement with participation, not guess momentum in a vacuum. This oscillator shines during breakouts, distribution phases, and deceptive price moves where volume tells the real story. Overbought and oversold zones highlight statistically stretched volume conditions, while the adaptive smoothing engine filters short-term noise caused by small, indecisive bars. This is the model you use to confirm whether a move is being supported or starved - making it lethal for spotting exhaustion, fake breakouts, and accumulation/distribution zones.
HyperSmooth Oscillator Module
The HyperSmooth Oscillator represents the most sophisticated module in the suite, combining adaptive smoothing, dual-cycle EMA differentiation, and volatility-normalized scaling. It calculates momentum by comparing fast and slow EMA cycles of a dynamically smoothed price series and then normalizes this difference using ATR-based volatility adjustments. This ensures that the oscillator is sensitive to micro-momentum changes while remaining robust against extreme volatility spikes.
Additional innovations in this module include:
Hyper-smoothing and acceleration detection : Captures micro-trend shifts and identifies momentum acceleration or deceleration, providing early insight into potential trend reversals.
Dynamic color mapping : Uses HSV-based gradient calculations to indicate the intensity and direction of momentum, enhancing immediate visual interpretation.
Threshold-based cross-validation : Ensures that only meaningful crossovers are flagged as buy or sell signals, reducing false positives in noisy markets.
Combined, these mechanisms give traders access to both subtle and strong market moves, allowing nuanced position sizing and timing strategies.
Use Case:
Use HyperSmooth when you need speed, sensitivity, and volatility-aware momentum detection. This model is built for fast markets, aggressive entries, and momentum continuation plays where standard oscillators lag. By normalizing momentum with ATR and dynamically adjusting signal thresholds, HyperSmooth filters weak crosses and only reacts when momentum actually matters. Color-shifted acceleration highlights when force is increasing or decaying, making this the go-to mode for scalpers and momentum traders hunting explosive continuation or sharp reversals with minimal delay.
Enhanced Divergence Detection System
PowerWave includes a robust divergence detection engine, capable of identifying regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences across all modules. Divergences are detected by analyzing oscillator pivots against corresponding price highs and lows, ensuring that traders can spot structural weaknesses or strengths in trend continuation.
Key enhancements include:
Pivot-based analysis with lookback control : Allows customization of sensitivity to short-term vs. long-term divergences.
Priority system : Regular divergences are highlighted first, while hidden divergences are only displayed if no regular divergence is present, reducing chart clutter.
Visual representation : Divergences are drawn on both the oscillator and price chart using solid or dashed lines with opacity gradients, enabling clear interpretation of potential reversal zones.
This system equips traders to anticipate trend exhaustion points, early reversals, and high-probability pullbacks, a critical advantage in both trending and range-bound markets.
Visualization and Chart Interpretation
Every module in PowerWave is accompanied by enhanced visual aids, including histogram fills, line overlays, bar coloring, and shape-based trade markers. These features provide instant clarity on:
Trend direction : Bullish vs. bearish zones are highlighted via gradient fills and bar color overlays.
Signal strength : Minor, regular, and strong trade setups are distinguished using shape markers (triangles, circles, diamonds).
Momentum confirmation : Histogram fills indicate whether the oscillator is accelerating or decelerating relative to its signal line.
By integrating these visualizations, PowerWave transforms complex calculations into immediately actionable chart insights, enabling both manual and automated strategies to be executed with confidence.
General Use Cases and Trading Applications
Trend-following : Combine oscillator zero-line crossovers with divergence confirmation for disciplined entries.
Counter-trend trading : Utilize hidden divergence signals to identify potential reversal points before visible trend exhaustion.
Volume-sensitive trades : Adaptive Volume Filter highlights accumulation/distribution phases, providing context for institutional participation.
Scalping and swing strategies : HyperSmooth Oscillator captures micro-momentum changes, ideal for both short-term scalping and multi-day swing trades.
The suite is designed for flexibility and adaptability, allowing traders to integrate multiple modules, fine-tune parameters, and create customized signals aligned with personal strategies or specific market conditions.

Market Participation Gradient [Interakktive]Market Participation Gradient (MPG) is a diagnostic oscillator that measures the quality and intensity of market participation by combining price efficiency with activity (volume or a FX-safe proxy) into a single 0–100 score.
Most tools tell you "how much activity exists." MPG focuses on "how effective that activity is," helping you differentiate clean directional participation from absorbed / inefficient participation where effort produces limited directional progress.
█ WHAT IT DOES
- Produces a 0–100 participation score (higher = stronger participation environment)
- Uses color as state context (not buy/sell)
- Classifies participation into four tiers for quick readability
- Includes an optional status-line HUD for at-a-glance context without chart clutter
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
- NO buy/sell signals
- NO entries/exits
- NO alerts by default
- NO repainting / no lookahead (diagnostic context only)
█ HOW TO READ MPG
Level (0–100)
- Higher values = stronger participation environment
- Lower values = thin, drifting participation environment
Color (state language, not direction)
- Teal = Clean participation (efficient movement)
- Magenta = Absorbed participation (high activity, low efficiency)
- Amber = Building / transition state
- Grey = Thin / neutral state
█ TIER SYSTEM
MPG uses four tiers:
- THIN (0–20): low participation environment
- BUILDING (20–40): participation emerging / transitional
- STRONG (40–65): solid participation environment (quality becomes more meaningful)
- EXTREME (65+): very high participation environment (contextually important during events or late-cycle pushes)
█ QUALITY ASSESSMENT (STRONG / EXTREME)
Within STRONG and EXTREME tiers, MPG evaluates participation quality:
- Clean (Teal): Efficiency > 55%
- Absorbed (Magenta): Efficiency < 30% AND Activity > 1.5×
- Neutral (Grey): otherwise (mixed quality)
█ STATUS LINE HUD
MPG can display key values in TradingView's status line:
- Minimal: MPG (0–100) + Tier (0–3)
- Full: adds Direction (-1/0/1) and Quality (-1/0/1)
This provides quick context without tables or on-chart panels.
█ HOW IT WORKS (METHODOLOGY)
MPG combines two independent measurements:
1. Efficiency (0–1)
Efficiency = |Net Displacement| / Total Path Length
- High efficiency = price moved more directly
- Low efficiency = price moved less directly (more back-and-forth)
2. Activity (centered at 1.0)
Activity = Current Volume / Average Volume
- Activity > 1 = above-average activity
- Activity < 1 = below-average activity
FX / indices fallback: If volume is unreliable/unavailable, MPG uses a range-based proxy: (High–Low) / ATR (capped) to prevent distortion.
3. Participation Score (0–100)
Participation = Efficiency × √Activity × 100
The square root applies diminishing returns so activity alone cannot dominate without efficiency support.
█ SETTINGS
Core
- ATR Length — normalization baseline
- Efficiency Lookback — bars used for efficiency
- Volume Average Length — baseline for activity
- Smoothing Length — EMA smoothing (1 = minimal smoothing)
Visuals
- Histogram / Line / Tier Bands toggles
- Optional pane background tint (default OFF)
- Theme: Cinematic (subtle) or Vivid (brighter)
HUD
- Status Line HUD toggle
- HUD Detail: Minimal or Full
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on any market with price data. For symbols with unreliable volume (common in FX), MPG automatically uses the range/ATR activity proxy.
█ RELATED (INTERAKKTIVE)
- MER — Market Efficiency Ratio (pure efficiency)
- ERD — Effort–Result Divergence (effort vs outcome)
- VSI — Volatility State Index (expansion/contraction context)
