ColorSMAColorSMA Indicator – Description & Usage Guide Overview The ColorSMA indicator is a dynamic trend-following moving average designed to adapt to volatility and provide clearer visual cues for traders. Unlike a standard simple moving average (SMA), this tool applies a volatility filter using a standard deviation channel and then smooths the price before calculating the moving average. The result is a single line on the chart that changes color depending on its trend direction: Blue (Uptrend) – The moving average is rising compared to the previous bar. Red (Downtrend) – The moving average is falling compared to the previous bar. This visual coloring makes it easier to spot the trend direction at a glance. How It Works Baseline SMA The script first calculates a classic SMA based on the selected Length (default = 9). This baseline acts as the foundation of the indicator. Volatility Filter (SD Channel) A standard deviation multiplier is applied to create an upper and lower channel around the SMA. If price moves outside this channel, it gets “clamped” back within the channel range. This reduces noise and prevents false signals in highly volatile conditions. Smoothed Price (Extra Smooth) The filtered price is then smoothed with another SMA (default = 3). This step makes the line cleaner and easier to interpret. Trend Coloring If the current smoothed SMA is higher than its previous value → the line is Blue. If it is lower → the line is Red . This simple but effective color-coding highlights trend shifts without cluttering the chart. Inputs & Settings Source: The price source used in the calculation (default = close). Length: The SMA period length (default = 9). Extra Smooth : Additional smoothing for the final line (default = 3). Lower values make it more responsive, higher values make it smoother. Width (Volatility Filter – SD Channel): The multiplier applied to the standard deviation. Controls how wide the channel is (default = 0.3). Length (Volatility Filter – SD Channel): The period for calculating standard deviation (default = 1). What You See on the Chart A single moving average line that changes color: Blue (Up) = trend strength or bullish direction. Red (Down) = trend weakness or bearish direction. The line itself is already filtered through a volatility channel and smoothing, so it reacts to market conditions while reducing noise. How to Use It Trend Identification Use the color changes (Blue/Red) to quickly identify short-term trend shifts. Blue phases suggest bullish bias, Red phases suggest bearish bias. Entry/Exit Guidance Traders can align entries with the trend color (e.g., buy when it turns Blue, sell/short when it turns Red). Combine with price action or other indicators for confirmation. Volatility Filtering Adjust the Width and SD Length parameters to tune how sensitive the indicator is to price fluctuations. Narrower channels give more signals; wider channels filter out more noise. Smoothing Control If you prefer faster reactions, lower the smoothing value. If you want steadier signals, increase smoothing. Summary The ColorSMA is a visually enhanced moving average that adapts to volatility and simplifies trend detection. It is especially useful for traders who prefer: Clean charts with minimal clutter. Clear, color-coded signals for trend direction. Flexibility to adjust responsiveness via smoothing and channel width. This indicator is best used as a trend confirmation tool or combined with other strategies such as support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or oscillators for robust trade setups.

macd color bar cryptosmartDescription The MACD Color Bar CryptoSmart indicator is a visual trading tool designed to help traders quickly identify trend changes by coloring the chart's price bars based on MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) signals. Instead of looking down at the MACD panel, you can see the trend's momentum directly on your price chart, making it easier to spot potential entries and exits. How It Works The indicator monitors the MACD line and its signal line in the background. Bullish Trend (Green Bars): When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, the price bars will turn green. This color persists, signaling that the momentum is currently bullish. Bearish Trend (Red Bars): When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, the price bars will turn red. This color persists, indicating that the momentum has shifted to bearish. This immediate visual feedback helps you stay aligned with the current trend as defined by the MACD. How to Use Trend Identification: Use the bar colors for a quick "at-a-glance" understanding of the prevailing trend. Green bars suggest an uptrend, while red bars suggest a downtrend. Entry Signals: A color change from red to green can be seen as a potential bullish entry signal. Conversely, a change from green to red can suggest a potential bearish entry. Confirmation: Use the bar colors to confirm signals from your primary trading strategy. For example, if you get a buy signal from another indicator, a green bar color adds confluence to your trade idea. All MACD settings (Fast Length, Slow Length, Signal Length) and the bar colors are fully customizable in the indicator's settings menu.

[ACR+]EXPANSION DETECTION Expansion Detection is a price-action tool that spots true momentum expansions, distinguishes high-quality displacements (CISD), and flags wick-driven reversals—all in the context of internal market structure. It keeps your chart clean: only the trade-relevant signals are plotted; structure lines/labels are computed under the hood. Signals on the chart Expansion (non-CISD) Bullish: ▲ triangle below bar (green) Bearish: ▼ triangle above bar (red) CISD (Change In State of Delivery) — expansion with displacement & quality filters Bullish: ◆ diamond below bar (lime) Bearish: ◆ diamond above bar (orange) Reversal (wick-dominant + optional engulf) Bullish: ● circle below bar (teal) Bearish: ● circle above bar (purple) The script automatically prefers CISD: if a bar qualifies as CISD, only the CISD mark is shown (not the plain Expansion). How it works (under the hood) Body vs Wick engine Expansion when body dominates wick (Body/Wick > kBW) and body exceeds its average (Body > kBodyAvg × SMA(Body)). Reversal when one wick is decisively larger than the body (pin-bar style) with optional engulf confirmation. Structure context (internal) Builds short/intermediate/long-term swings internally and checks BOS (Break of Structure) and liquidity sweeps around the latest IT levels for higher signal quality. CISD filter Expansion + displacement vs ATR (min body vs ATR) Optional FVG (3-bar gap) confirmation Optional BOS confirmation in the same direction Optional previous Inside Bar requirement

macd + stochastic cryptosmart## macd + stochastic cryptosmart This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to find high-probability trading signals by merging two of the most powerful oscillators: the MACD and the Stochastic. The core strategy is not just to use each indicator separately, but to identify moments of confluence, where both send the same message. When a momentum signal from the MACD occurs while the Stochastic is in an extreme zone, the probability of a strong, sustained move increases significantly. ## The Confluence Logic: The Core Strategy ✨ The power of this indicator lies in the confirmation of signals. Instead of acting on a single clue, you wait for two experts to give you the same recommendation. 📈 High-Probability Buy Signal (Bullish Confluence) A buy signal is considered especially strong when the following two conditions occur at nearly the same time: Stochastic at an Extreme: The Stochastic oscillator is in the oversold zone (typically below 20), indicating that selling pressure may be exhausted and the price is "cheap." MACD Crossover: The MACD line crosses above its signal line (a bullish crossover). This confirms that the market's momentum is beginning to shift in favor of the buyers. The logic is: The Stochastic tells you when the market is ready for a potential bounce, and the MACD crossover gives you the confirmation that the bounce is starting with force. 📉 High-Probability Sell Signal (Bearish Confluence) A high-quality sell signal occurs when: Stochastic at an Extreme: The Stochastic is in the overbought zone (above 80), suggesting the asset may be overvalued and ready for a correction. MACD Crossover: The MACD line crosses below its signal line (a bearish crossover). This confirms that momentum is turning negative. The logic is: The Stochastic alerts you to a potential price "bubble," and the MACD crossover confirms that the bubble is beginning to deflate. ## Key Features MACD Normalization: To make comparison easier, the indicator can normalize the MACD to the same 0-100 scale as the Stochastic. This allows you to view both oscillators in a similar context. Smart Visualization: The indicator's background changes color depending on whether the Stochastic is in an overbought, oversold, or neutral zone. The "shadow" between the MACD lines is colored green or red to show you at a glance whether momentum is bullish or bearish. In summary, this indicator doesn't reinvent the MACD or the Stochastic but integrates them in a smart, visual way so you can apply a confluence strategy more effectively, filtering out weak signals and focusing on those with the highest probability of success.

Volume Voids [theUltimator5]Volume Voids highlights price regions with no or unusually thin participation over a chosen lookback. It bins the lookback’s full price range into equal steps, assigns each bar’s close to a bin, and accumulates volume per bin. Contiguous runs of zero-volume bins are shown as “voids,” while low-volume runs (below a dynamic threshold) mark thin-liquidity “corridors” where price often traverses quickly when revisited. An optional PoC (Point of Control) line marks the mid-price of the highest-volume bin—commonly treated as a recent “value” area that price may revisit. What it draws on your chart Histogram (optional): Right-anchored horizontal volume-by-price bars built from your lookback and bin count. Bars tint green→red via a simple delta proxy (up-bar volume minus down-bar volume) to hint at directional participation inside each price band. Point of Control (optional): A horizontal line at the highest-volume bin’s mid-price (the PoC). Zero-Volume Voids: Translucent boxes where no bin volume printed within the window (detected between the first and last non-empty bins ). Low-Volume Zones: Translucent boxes where bin volume is below a dynamic threshold (see formula below), often acting like low-friction corridors. How it works Slice the lookback’s high→low into N equal price bins. Assign each bar’s closing price to a bin and add that bar’s volume to the bin total. A simple up/down-bar delta proxy drives the histogram’s tinting. PoC = bin with the maximum accumulated volume. Zero-Volume Voids = contiguous runs of bins with exactly zero volume (bounded by the first/last occupied bins). Low-Volume Zones = contiguous runs of bins with volume below: threshold = total_window_volume ÷ (divisor × number_of_bins) Lower divisor → more LV boxes; higher divisor → stricter/fewer boxes. Note: This is a lightweight, chart-native approximation of a volume profile. Volume is binned by bar close (not by tick-level prints or intrabar distribution), so “voids”/“thin” areas reflect this approximation. Key inputs Lookback Period: Window for calculations. Number of Volume Boxes (bins): Histogram resolution. PoC / Show Histogram / Anchor to Right Side: Visibility and layout controls. Low-Volume Threshold Divisor: Sensitivity for LV detection. Colors & Labels: Customize zero-volume / low-volume box colors and optional labels with offsets. How to use (educational, not signals) Context: High-volume = acceptance; thin/zero-volume = inefficiency. Price often rotates near acceptance and moves faster through thin areas. Revisits: On returns to prior voids/LV zones, watch for accelerated moves or fills; PoC can serve as a balance reference. Confluence: Pair with trend tools (e.g., ADX), VWAP/session markers, or structure levels for timing and risk. Limitations & performance Bins use closing price only; intrabar distribution is not modeled. Detections refresh on the live bar; visuals can be heavy on large lookbacks/high bin counts—reduce bins/lookback or hide labels if needed.
