RSI Median DeviationRSI Median Deviation – Adaptive Statistical RSI for High-Probability Extremes The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 to measure the magnitude of recent price changes and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. It calculates the ratio of upward to downward price movements over a specified period, scaled to 0-100. However, standard RSI often relies on fixed thresholds like 70/30, which can produce unreliable signals in varying market regimes due to their lack of adaptability to the actual distribution of RSI values. This indicator was developed because I needed a reliable tool for spotting intermediate high-probability bottoms and tops. Instead of arbitrary horizontal lines, it uses the RSI’s own historical median as a dynamic centerline and measures how far the current RSI deviates from that median over a chosen lookback period. The main signals are triggered only at 2 standard deviation (2σ) extremes — statistically rare events that occur roughly 5 % of the time under a normal distribution. I selected 2σ because it is extreme enough to be meaningful yet frequent enough for practical trading. For oversold signals I further require RSI to be below 42, a filter that significantly improved results in my mean-reversion tests (enter on oversold, exit on the first bar the condition is no longer true). The combination of percentile median + standard deviation bands is deliberate: the median is far more robust to outliers than a simple average, while the SD bands automatically adjust to the current volatility of the RSI itself, producing adaptive envelopes that work equally well in ranging and trending markets. Underlying Concepts and Calculations Base RSI: RSI = 100 − (100 / (1 + RS)), RS = average gain / average loss (default length 10). Percentile Median: 50th percentile of the last "N" RSI values (default 28 = 4 weeks) → dynamic, outlier-resistant centerline. Standard Deviation Bands: rolling stdev of RSI (default length 27 = = 4 weeks (almost)) → bands = median ± 1σ / 2σ. Optional Dynamic MA Envelopes: user-selectable moving average (TEMA, WMA, etc., default WMA length 37) for additional momentum context. Trend Bias Coloring Independent of the statistical extremes, the RSI line itself is colored green when above the user-defined Long Threshold (default 60) and red when below the Short Threshold (default 47). This provides an instant bullish/bearish bias overlay similar to classic RSI usage, without interfering with the main 2σ extreme signals. Extremes are highlighted with background color (green for oversold 2σ + RSI<42, magenta for overbought 2σ) and small diamond markers for ultra-extremes (RSI <25 or >85). Originality and Development Rationale The indicator was built and refined through extensive testing on dozens of assets including major cryptocurrencies: (BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, BNB, XRP, TRX, DOGE, LINK, PAXG, CVX, HYPE, VIRTUAL and many more), the Magnificent 7 stocks,, QQQ, SPX, and gold. Default parameters were chosen to deliver consistent profitability in simple mean-reversion setups while maximizing Sortino ratio and minimizing maximum drawdown across this broad universe — ensuring the settings are robust and not overfitted to any single instrument or timeframe. How to Use It Ideal for swing / position trading on the 1h to daily charts (the same defaults work). Oversold (high-probability long): RSI crosses below lower 2σ band AND RSI < 42 → green background → enter long, exit the first bar the condition disappears. Overbought (high-probability short): RSI crosses above upper 2σ band → magenta background → enter short, exit on opposite signal or at median. (Shorts were not tested, it's only an idea) Use the green/red RSI line coloring for quick trend context and to avoid fighting strong momentum. Always confirm with price action and manage risk appropriately. This indicator is not a standalone trading system. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

Short-Term Bubble Risk [Phantom] Short-Term Bubble Risk Concept This indicator visualizes short-term market risk by measuring how far price is stretched relative to its recent weekly trend. Instead of focusing on absolute price levels, it looks at price behavior. A similar reading means similar market conditions, whether price is high or low. The goal is to help identify areas of potential accumulation and potential distribution in a clear, visual way. How It Works The indicator compares the weekly closing price to a weekly moving average and displays the deviation as a histogram. When price is far below its average, risk is considered lower When price is far above its average, risk is considered higher The zero line represents fair value, where price equals its weekly average. Features Color-coded histogram showing short-term risk levels Designed to work across different assets and price ranges Optional bar coloring on the main chart using weekly risk data Safe to use on any timeframe (risk is calculated on weekly data) Settings # Moving Average Length (Weeks): Adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to price changes # Color Visibility Toggles: Allows hiding or showing specific risk zones # Bar Coloring: Option to color chart candles based on weekly risk levels Usage This indicator is best used as a risk lens, not a timing tool. Common uses include: Identifying potential accumulation zones during weakness Spotting overextended conditions during strong moves Comparing short-term risk across different assets Adding context to trend-following or DCA strategies Trade Ideas # Lower-risk zones (cool colors): Can support accumulation or patience during downtrends # Higher-risk zones (warm colors): Can signal caution, reduced exposure, or profit-taking Always combine with: Trend direction Market structure Higher-timeframe context Limitations This indicator does not predict tops or bottoms High risk can remain high during strong trends Low risk does not guarantee immediate reversals It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Disclaimer This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Always do your own research and manage risk appropriately.

[SM-021] Gaussian Trend System [Optimized]This script is a comprehensive trend-following strategy centered around a Gaussian Channel. It is designed to capture significant market movements while filtering out noise during consolidation phases. This version (v2) introduces code optimizations using Pine Script v6 Arrays and a new Intraday Time Control feature. 1. Core Methodology & Math The foundation of this strategy is the Gaussian Filter, originally conceptualized by @DonovanWall. Gaussian Poles: Unlike standard moving averages (SMA/EMA), this filter uses "poles" (referencing signal processing logic) to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness. Array Optimization: In this specific iteration, the f_pole function has been refactored to utilize Pine Script Arrays. This improves calculation efficiency and rendering speed compared to recursive variable calls, especially when calculating deep historical data. Channel Logic: The strategy calculates a "Filtered True Range" to create High and Low bands around the main Gaussian line. Long Entry: Price closes above the High Band. Short Entry: Price closes below the Low Band. 2. Signal Filtering (Confluence) To reduce false signals common in trend-following systems, the strategy employs a "confluence" approach using three additional layers: Baseline Filter: A 200-period (customizable) EMA or SMA acts as a regime filter. Longs are only taken above the baseline; Shorts only below. ADX Filter (Volatility): The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to measure trend strength. If the ADX is below a user-defined threshold (default: 20), the market is considered "choppy," and new entries are blocked. Momentum Check: A Stochastic RSI check ensures that momentum aligns with the breakout direction. 3. NEW: Intraday Session Filter Per user requests, a time-based filter has been added to restrict trading activity to specific market sessions (e.g., the New York Open). How it works: Users can toggle a checkbox to enable/disable the filter. Configuration: You can define a specific time range (Default: 09:30 - 16:00) and a specific Timezone (Default: New York). Logic: The strategy longCondition and shortCondition now check if the current bar's timestamp falls within this window. If outside the window, no new entries are generated, though existing trades are managed normally. 4. Risk Management The strategy relies on volatility-based exits rather than fixed percentage stops: ATR Stop Loss: A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) is calculated at the moment of entry to set a dynamic Stop Loss. ATR Take Profit: An optional Reward-to-Risk (RR) ratio can be set to place a Take Profit target relative to the Stop Loss distance. Band Exit: If the trend reverses and price crosses the opposite band, the trade is closed immediately to prevent large drawdowns. Credits & Attribution Original Gaussian Logic: Developed by @DonovanWalll. This script utilizes his mathematical formula for the pole filters. Strategy Wrapper & Array Refactor: Developed by @sebamarghella. Community Request: The Intraday Session Filter was added to assist traders focusing on specific liquidity windows. Disclaimer: This strategy is for educational purposes. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please use the settings menu to adjust the Session Time and Risk parameters to fit your specific asset class.

DR/IDR, fractals, break + EMA Clouds + VWAPThis indicator is a powerful, multi-layered trading tool that combines three distinct forms of market analysis—volume, trend, and opening volatility—onto a single chart. 1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB) System This is the foundation of the indicator, designed to capture the initial volatility and set key price boundaries for the trading day. Time Focus: The indicator's primary analysis is centered on a specific, user-defined time period (default is 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time). Nothing related to the ORB drawing will appear on the chart before this session starts. Wick High/Low (The Trigger): These lines track the absolute highest and lowest prices reached during the time window. They define the full extent of the initial range and are used to determine when a genuine breakout occurs. Body High/Low (The Range & Targets): These lines track the highest and lowest open/close prices of the candles within the session. This area forms the central, shaded zone, representing the core consolidation area. Range Shading: The background between the Body High and Body Low is shaded, but this visual feature only appears during the active forming time window (e.g., 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM) to maintain chart clarity. Fractals: While the range is forming, the indicator detects 5-bar Williams Fractal patterns that occur inside the range. These small triangles (▲ or ▼) highlight minor reversal points established by the early trading action. Breakout Signal: After the user-defined time window closes, the indicator waits. If a subsequent candle's price moves above the Wick High or below the Wick Low, a "BREAK" label is displayed on that candle. It is programmed to label only the first decisive break in each direction per day. Extension Targets: When a breakout occurs, target lines are automatically projected above the Body High (for a bullish break) or below the Body Low (for a bearish break). The distance between these targets is calculated based on a user-defined fraction (e.g., 0.5 steps) of the total height of the Body Range. Line Cutoff: For tidiness, you can set a "Stop Time" (e.g., 4:00 PM) after which the ORB lines will automatically disappear. 2. EMA Clouds (Trend and Momentum) Four distinct Exponential Moving Average (EMA) clouds are plotted to provide a dynamic, multi-speed view of the market's trend and momentum. Structure: Each "Cloud" is the shaded area between two EMAs (one shorter length and one longer length). The indicator includes four customizable pairs (defaulting to common settings like 8/9, 8/14, 34/50, and 14/21). Trend Coloring: The clouds are color-coded: Bullish (Greenish): The shorter EMA is trading above the longer EMA, signaling upward momentum. Bearish (Reddish): The shorter EMA is trading below the longer EMA, signaling downward momentum. Application: These clouds are used to confirm the overall market direction or identify potential zones of support and resistance. 3. Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) The VWAP is a crucial anchor for measuring the market's efficiency throughout the trading day. Function: It calculates the average price of the asset, giving more weight to prices where higher volume was traded. Context: It helps traders quickly determine if the current price is trading at a premium (above VWAP) or a discount (below VWAP) relative to the day's volume. Reset: The VWAP line automatically resets at the beginning of each trading day. Customization: The VWAP line can be toggled on or off, and its color and width are fully adjustable.

Price Action Visualizer (EMA/SMA Color Bars)This custom Pine Script indicator, "EMA(21) vs SMA(30) Color Bars," provides a unique and immediate visual representation of market bias by dynamically painting the candlesticks based on their position relative to two critical moving averages. 💡 What It Does: The indicator calculates and plots the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 30-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). It then analyzes the closing price of each candle and colors the entire candlestick (body and border) according to pre-defined trend conditions. This visualization allows traders to identify strong trend environments versus periods of consolidation or indecision at a glance, removing the need to constantly check the price relationship manually. 🎨 Color Conditions and Meaning: The indicator uses three distinct color states to signal the market's current momentum: Color,Condition,Market Interpretation 🟢 GREEN,Closing Price is ABOVE both the 21 EMA AND the 30 SMA.,Strong Bullish Trend: Suggests high momentum and confirmation of an uptrend. Ideal for long bias. 🔴 RED,Closing Price is BELOW both the 21 EMA AND the 30 SMA.,Strong Bearish Trend: Suggests high downward pressure and confirmation of a downtrend. Ideal for short bias. ⚫ GRAY,"Closing Price is in any other state (e.g., between the two MAs, or under one and over the other).","Neutral / Consolidation: Indicates uncertainty, low momentum, or potential trend exhaustion/reversal. Caution is advised." 🔧 Customization Options:The indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to fine-tune the periods to match their preferred trading style (e.g., scalping, swing trading).Dĺžka EMA (Length EMA): Allows you to change the period for the Exponential Moving Average (default is 21).Dĺžka SMA (Length SMA): Allows you to change the period for the Simple Moving Average (default is 30).

ICT Breaker Blocks [Exponential-X]🔄 Breaker Blocks Overview Breaker Blocks automatically identifies failed order blocks that have reversed their polarity. When an order block gets broken, it often becomes a powerful support or resistance zone in the opposite direction. This indicator tracks these institutional "flips" based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, helping identify where price is likely to find strong support or resistance after a structural break. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 What This Indicator Does Detects Breaker Blocks: • 🔵 Bullish Breaker Blocks (BB+) - Failed bearish order blocks that became support • 🟣 Bearish Breaker Blocks (BB-) - Failed bullish order blocks that became resistance • Tracks order blocks first, then monitors when they break • Converts broken order blocks into breaker blocks automatically • Shows when breakers get tested by price How Breakers Form: 1. Order block forms (last opposite candle before strong move) 2. Price returns and breaks through the order block 3. Broken order block becomes a breaker block with flipped polarity 4. Old resistance becomes new support (or vice versa) Visual Display: Smart Features: • Auto-timeframe adjustment for optimal detection • ATR-based strength filtering • Active block highlighting • Test tracking • Distance calculator • Duplicate prevention ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Understanding Breaker Blocks What Are Breaker Blocks? Breaker blocks are failed order blocks that price has broken through. In ICT methodology: • When institutions place orders creating an order block • If that level fails and price breaks through • The zone often becomes strong support/resistance in the opposite direction • This represents institutional position flipping Why Breakers Form: • Failed Defense: Institutions couldn't defend the original level • Position Flip: Institutions reversed their position • Stop Hunt Complete: After sweeping stops, new levels form • Polarity Change: Old resistance becomes new support (or vice versa) Key Difference From Order Blocks: [/b> • Order Block: Original institutional level (unbroken) • Breaker Block: Failed order block that flipped polarity • Breakers often provide STRONGER reactions than original OBs • Represents where institutions changed their strategy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔵 Bullish Breaker Blocks Explained Formation Process: 1. Step 1: Bearish order block forms (last bullish candle before drop) 2. Step 2: Price breaks ABOVE this bearish OB 3. Step 3: The broken bearish OB becomes a bullish breaker 4. Step 4: Now acts as SUPPORT when price returns What It Means: • Old resistance level failed • Institutions flipped from selling to buying • When price returns, zone acts as strong support • Higher probability long setup than regular support Trading Bullish Breakers: Entry Setup: • Wait for price to retrace back to bullish breaker • Look for rejection/bounce from the breaker zone • Enter long when price respects the breaker as support • Stop loss: Below the breaker block • Target: Recent high or opposite breaker Why It Works: Failed resistance becoming support is a strong technical signal indicating structural change in market sentiment. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟣 Bearish Breaker Blocks Explained Formation Process: 1. Step 1: Bullish order block forms (last bearish candle before rally) 2. Step 2: Price breaks BELOW this bullish OB 3. Step 3: The broken bullish OB becomes a bearish breaker 4. Step 4: Now acts as RESISTANCE when price returns What It Means: • Old support level failed • Institutions flipped from buying to selling • When price returns, zone acts as strong resistance • Higher probability short setup than regular resistance Trading Bearish Breakers: Entry Setup: • Wait for price to retrace back to bearish breaker • Look for rejection/reversal from the breaker zone • Enter short when price respects the breaker as resistance • Stop loss: Above the breaker block • Target: Recent low or opposite breaker Why It Works: Failed support becoming resistance indicates structural change and often leads to continuation moves. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 How To Use This Indicator Strategy 1: Breaker Block Retest Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H Style: [/b> Swing trading, reversal entries Rules: 1. Identify active breaker block (bright color, not gray) 2. Wait for price to return to the breaker zone 3. Look for reversal confirmation (pin bar, engulfing, rejection) 4. Enter in the direction the breaker suggests 5. Stop: Beyond opposite side of breaker 6. Target: 2-3R or previous structure Example - Bullish Breaker: • Bullish breaker at $48,000-$48,500 • Price drops to $48,200 (enters breaker) • Bullish pin bar forms • Enter long at $48,600, stop at $47,800 • Target: $50,000+ Strategy 2: Multi-Timeframe Breakers Timeframes: Combine 1H + 4H or 15min + 1H Style: [/b> High-probability setups Rules: 1. Identify breaker on higher timeframe (4H or Daily) 2. Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15min) 3. Look for lower TF breaker WITHIN higher TF breaker 4. Trade the lower TF breaker in same direction as HTF 5. Stop: Below lower TF breaker 6. Target: Edge of higher TF breaker or beyond Why It Works: Alignment across timeframes increases probability Strategy 3: Breaker + Order Block Confluence Timeframes: 1H, 4H Style: High-conviction trades Rules: 1. Find breaker block that overlaps with fresh order block 2. This creates double institutional zone 3. Wait for price to reach confluence area 4. Enter on first touch with confirmation 5. Stop: Beyond confluence zone 6. Target: 3-5R Why It Works: Two ICT concepts aligned = maximum probability Strategy 4: Breaker Breakout Timeframes: [/b> 5min, 15min, 1H Style: Trend continuation Rules: 1. Price approaches breaker block 2. Instead of respecting it, price breaks THROUGH 3. This indicates very strong momentum 4. Enter breakout in direction of break 5. Stop: Back inside the breaker 6. Target: 2-3R Why It Works: When breakers fail, momentum is extremely strong ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ Settings Explained Core Settings Auto-Adjust for Timeframe (Default: ON) • Automatically optimizes detection for current chart • 1min: 3 bars lookback • 5min: 4 bars lookback • 15min: 5 bars lookback • 1H: 6 bars lookback • 4H+: 8-12 bars lookback • Recommended: Keep ON Manual Detection Length (Default: 5) • Only used when Auto-Adjust is OFF • Lookback period for finding order blocks • Lower = more sensitive • Higher = more selective Display Settings Show Bullish/Bearish Breaker Blocks • Toggle each type independently • Customize colors (default: cyan and fuchsia) • Tip: Use colors that stand out from order blocks Max Breaker Blocks to Display (Default: 10) [/b> • Limits visible breakers • Lower (5-8): Cleaner chart • Higher (15-30): More context • Recommended: 10-15 Show Breaker Block Labels [/b> • Displays BB+ and BB- text • Shows 🎯 on active (nearest) breaker • Turn OFF for minimal appearance Extend Blocks (bars) (Default: 50) • How far to extend boxes to the right • Recommended: 40-60 bars Filters Block Strength Filter (Default: Medium) • Low: 0.5x ATR - More breakers, more noise • Medium: 1x ATR - Balanced • High: 1.5x ATR - Only strongest breakers • Note: Breakers are naturally less common than OBs • For learning: Use Low to see more examples • For trading: Use Medium or High Min Block Size % (Default: 0.1) • Minimum breaker size as % of price • Filters tiny insignificant blocks • Adjust based on instrument volatility Advanced Show Tested Blocks (Default: OFF) [/b> • When ON: Shows gray boxes for tested breakers • When OFF: Breakers disappear after test • Use ON: For learning and analysis • Use OFF: For clean active trading Highlight Active Block (Default: ON) • Highlights nearest breaker to current price • Active block shown with brighter color and 🎯 • Recommended: Keep ON ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Info Panel Guide Bullish BB Count Bearish BB Count • Number of active (untested) bearish breaker blocks • More bearish breakers = More resistance zones above Bias Indicator [/b> • ⬆ Bullish: More bullish breakers (support > resistance) • ⬇ Bearish: More bearish breakers (resistance > support) • ↔ Neutral: Equal breakers on both sides Near Indicator • Shows nearest active breaker and distance • Example: "Bull BB -1.5%" = Bullish breaker 1.5% below price ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Alert Setup This indicator includes 2 alert types: 1.

EMA21 Pullback BuyEMA21 Pullback Buy is a tool designed to identify constructive pullbacks to the 21-period EMA in strong uptrends. It highlights candles where: • The previous close was above EMA21 • The current low touches or dips below EMA21 • The candle closes back above EMA21 These candles are considered potential “support tests” in a trending stock. You can configure a maximum number of valid tests to avoid late-stage entries. The script: • Colors the test candles (optional) • Marks them with a small circle • Triggers a buy signal (green triangle) on the first bullish candle that breaks above the test candle’s high Optional alerts are included for both: • New EMA21 test • Buy trigger after valid test The goal is to help traders find low-risk entries in clean, trending stocks — without chasing breakouts or reacting emotionally. Best used with strong RS names and proper trend context.

Ultimate Squeeze & BreakoutTitle: Ultimate Squeeze & Breakout Description: This indicator is a volatility analysis tool designed to identify periods of market compression ("The Squeeze") and validate subsequent breakouts using momentum logic. It builds upon the classic relation between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels but adds a directional filter to reduce false signals. The Problem It Solves: Standard squeeze indicators often signal a breakout the moment price exits the bands, even if the underlying trend is weak or flat. This can lead to entering "wicks" or fakeouts. This script solves this by requiring the Basis Line Slope to align with the breakout direction before generating a signal. How It Works: 1. Compression (The Setup) The script monitors the relationship between Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) and Keltner Channels (ATR). Red Cloud: When the Bollinger Bands contract completely inside the Keltner Channels, it indicates a critical drop in volatility. The market is coiling and storing energy. 2. The Momentum Filter (The Validation) Unlike basic squeeze indicators, a breakout is not signaled solely by price closing outside the bands. Logic: The script calculates the slope of the 20-period Basis Line (Simple Moving Average). Bullish Validation: Price > Upper Band AND Basis Line is sloping UP. Bearish Validation: Price < Lower Band AND Basis Line is sloping DOWN. Visual Guide: 🟥 Red Cloud: Squeeze ON. Volatility is compressed. Do not trade; wait for expansion. 🟣 Fuchsia Cloud: Bullish Breakout (Price released upward + Positive Momentum). 🔵 Blue Cloud: Bearish Breakout (Price released downward + Negative Momentum). ⬜ Gray/Green Cloud: Standard Trending phase (Volatility is normal). Features: Precision Inputs: Multipliers for Standard Deviation and ATR can be adjusted in 0.01 increments for fine-tuning sensitivity. Visual Toggles: Option to color the neutral trending cloud Green or Gray based on preference. Alerts: Built-in alerts for "Squeeze Started" and validated "Bullish/Bearish Breakouts." Credits: Core mechanics based on the TTM Squeeze concept popularized by John Carter. Momentum filtering logic added for enhanced signal reliability.

Rectangle Breakout Patterns📊 Rectangle Breakout Pattern Detector (Support & Resistance) This indicator is a dynamic tool designed to automatically identify and visualize Rectangle Continuation Patterns and Trading Ranges based on pure price action. It focuses on finding horizontal areas of long-term support and resistance where price is consolidating before an eventual breakout. 💡 What It Does The core function of this indicator is to detect and plot the boundaries of significant consolidation areas on your chart. It follows a multi-step confirmation process: Level Detection: It automatically identifies significant Pivot Highs and Lows. Pattern Confirmation: It confirms Support and Resistance by counting the number of times price 'touches' a level (controlled by the Min Pivot Touches setting). Visualization: Once confirmed, it draws a Box around the consolidation area. This box automatically extends to the right as long as the price remains contained, showing the active trading range. This provides an objective, code-driven approach to a classic chart pattern often relied upon by technical analysts.

Helix Protocol 7Helix Protocol 7 Overview Helix Protocol 7 is a trend-adaptive signal engine that automatically adjusts its buy and sell criteria based on current market conditions. Rather than using fixed thresholds that work well in some environments but fail in others, Helix detects whether the market is in a strong uptrend, neutral consolidation, or downtrend, then applies the appropriate signal parameters for each state. This adaptive approach helps traders buy dips aggressively in confirmed uptrends while requiring much stricter conditions before buying in downtrends. Core Philosophy The fundamental insight behind Helix is that the same indicator readings mean different things in different market contexts. An RSI of 45 during a strong uptrend represents a healthy pullback and buying opportunity. That same RSI of 45 during a confirmed downtrend might just be a brief pause before further decline. Helix encodes this context-awareness directly into its signal logic. The Money Line At the center of the indicator is the Money Line, which can be configured as either a linear regression line or a weighted combination of exponential moving averages. Linear regression provides a mathematically optimal fit through recent price data, while the weighted EMA option offers more responsiveness to recent price action. The slope of the Money Line determines whether the immediate price trend is bullish, bearish, or neutral, which affects the color of the bands and cloud shading. Dynamic Envelope Bands Upper and lower bands are calculated using Average True Range multiplied by a dynamic factor. When ADX indicates trending conditions, the bands automatically widen to accommodate larger price swings. The Chaikin Accumulation/Distribution indicator also influences band width, with strong accumulation or distribution causing additional band expansion. This dual adaptation helps the bands remain relevant across different volatility regimes. Trend State Detection Helix classifies market conditions into four distinct states using a combination of ADX behavior and Directional Movement analysis. Strong Uptrend requires ADX to be rising (gaining momentum), ADX value above a threshold (default 25), and the positive directional indicator exceeding the negative. This combination confirms not just that price is rising, but that the trend is strengthening. Strong Downtrend uses the same ADX requirements but with the negative directional indicator dominant. This identifies accelerating downward momentum. Weak Downtrend is detected when ADX is falling (trend losing steam) but negative DI still exceeds positive DI. This often represents the exhaustion phase of a decline. Neutral applies when none of the above conditions are met, typically during consolidation or when directional indicators are close together. Adaptive Signal Thresholds The indicator uses Fisher Transform and RSI as its primary oscillators, but the trigger levels change based on trend state. During Strong Uptrend, buy conditions are relaxed significantly. The Fisher threshold might be set to 1.0 (only slightly below neutral) and RSI to 50, allowing entries on minor pullbacks within the established trend. Sell conditions are tightened, requiring Fisher above 2.5 and RSI above 70, letting winning positions run longer. During Neutral conditions, both buy and sell thresholds return to traditional oversold and overbought levels. Fisher must reach -2.0 for buys and +2.0 for sells, with RSI requirements around 30 and 65 respectively. During Downtrend, buy conditions become very strict. Fisher must reach extreme oversold levels like -2.5 and RSI must drop below 25, ensuring buys only trigger on genuine capitulation. Sell conditions are loosened, allowing exits on any meaningful bounce. This asymmetric approach embodies the trading principle of being aggressive when conditions favor you and defensive when they do not. Band Touch Signals In addition to oscillator-based signals, Helix generates signals when price touches the dynamic bands. A touch of the lower band indicates potential support and generates a buy signal. A touch of the upper band suggests potential resistance and generates a sell signal. These band-based signals work alongside the oscillator signals, providing entries even when Fisher and RSI have not reached their thresholds. Extreme Move Detection Sometimes price moves so violently that it penetrates the bands by an unusual amount. Helix measures this penetration depth as a percentage of ATR and can flag these as "extreme" signals. Extreme signals have special properties: they can fire intra-bar (before the candle closes) to catch wick entries, they can bypass normal cooldown periods, and they can optionally bypass volatility freezes. This allows the indicator to capture panic selling events that might be missed by waiting for candle closes. Cascade Protection System A critical feature for risk management is the built-in cascade protection that prevents averaging down into oblivion. The system has two components. First, it tracks Bollinger Band Width Percentile, which measures current volatility relative to its historical range. When BBWP exceeds a threshold (default 92%), indicating a volatility spike often associated with sharp directional moves, all buy signals are temporarily frozen. This prevents entries during the most dangerous market conditions. Second, it counts consecutive buy signals without an intervening sell. After reaching the maximum (default 3), no additional buy signals are generated until a sell occurs. This absolute limit prevents the common mistake of repeatedly buying a falling asset. The protection status is displayed in the information panel, showing current BBWP level and the consecutive buy count. RSI Divergence Detection Helix includes automatic detection of RSI divergences, which often precede trend reversals. Regular bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low, suggesting weakening downside momentum. Regular bearish divergence is the opposite pattern at tops. Hidden divergences, which suggest trend continuation rather than reversal, are also detected and can be displayed optionally. Divergence lines are drawn directly on the price chart connecting the relevant pivot points. Signal Cooldown To prevent signal clustering and overtrading, a configurable cooldown period prevents new signals for a set number of bars after each signal. This ensures each signal represents a distinct trading opportunity. Visual Components The indicator provides comprehensive visual feedback. The Money Line changes color based on slope direction. The cloud shading between bands reflects trend bias. An ADX bar at the bottom of the chart uses color coding to show trend state at a glance: lime for strong uptrend, red for downtrend, white for ranging (very low ADX), orange for flat, and blue for trending but not yet strong. Price labels appear at signal locations showing the entry or exit price, the trigger type (band touch, uptrend dip, capitulation, etc.), and the current position in the consecutive buy count. The information panel displays current trend state, divergence status, BBWP freeze status, buy counter, ADX with direction arrow, DI spread, Fisher and RSI values, and the current active thresholds for buy and sell signals. A compact mode is available for mobile devices. How to Use In strong uptrends, look for buy signals on pullbacks to the Money Line or lower band. The relaxed thresholds will generate more frequent entries, which is appropriate when trend momentum is confirmed. Consider letting sell signals pass if the trend remains strong. In neutral markets, treat signals more selectively. Both buy and sell signals require significant oscillator extremes, making them higher-probability but less frequent. In downtrends, exercise extreme caution with buy signals. The strict requirements mean buys only trigger on major oversold conditions. Respect sell signals promptly, as the loosened thresholds are designed to protect capital. Always monitor the cascade protection status. If BBWP shows frozen or the buy counter is at maximum, the indicator is warning you that conditions are dangerous for new long entries. Settings Guidance The default settings are calibrated for cryptocurrency markets on 5-minute timeframes. For other assets or timeframes, consider adjusting the ADX threshold for strong trend detection (lower for less volatile assets), the Fisher and RSI thresholds for each trend state, and the BBWP freeze level based on the asset's typical volatility profile. The indicator includes a debug panel that can be enabled to show the detailed state of all conditions, useful for understanding why signals are or are not firing.

Open Interest Z-Score [BackQuant]Open Interest Z-Score A standardized pressure gauge for futures positioning that turns multi venue open interest into a Z score, so you can see how extreme current positioning is relative to its own history and where leverage is stretched, decompressing, or quietly re loading. What this is This indicator builds a single synthetic open interest series by aggregating futures OI across major derivatives venues, then standardises that aggregated OI into a rolling Z score. Instead of looking at raw OI or a simple change, you get a normalized signal that says "how many standard deviations away from normal is positioning right now", with optional smoothing, reference bands, and divergence detection against price. You can render the Z score in several plotting modes: Line for a clean, classic oscillator. Colored line that encodes both sign and momentum of OI Z. Oscillator histogram that makes impulses and compressions obvious. The script also includes: Aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, and Deribit, using multiple contract suffixes where applicable. Choice of OI units, either coin based or converted to USD notional. Standard deviation reference lines and adaptive extreme bands. A flexible smoothing layer with multiple moving average types. Automatic detection of regular and hidden divergences between price and OI Z. Alerts for zero line and ±2 sigma crosses. Aggregated open interest source At the core is the same multi venue OI aggregation engine as in the OI RSI tool, adapted from NoveltyTrade's work and extended for this use case. The indicator: Anchors on the current chart symbol and its base currency. Loops over a set of exchanges, gated by user toggles: Binance. Bybit. OKX. Bitget. Kraken. HTX. Deribit. For each exchange, loops over several contract suffixes such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM to cover the common perp and margin styles. Requests OI candles for each exchange plus suffix pair into a small custom OI type that carries open, high, low and close of open interest. Converts each OI stream into a common unit via the sw method: In COIN mode, OI is normalized relative to the coin. In USD mode, OI is scaled by price to approximate notional. Exchange specific scaling factors are applied where needed to match contract multipliers. Accumulates all valid OI candles into a single combined OI "candle" by summing open, high, low and close across venues. The result is oiClose , a synthetic close for aggregated OI that represents cross venue positioning. If there is no valid OI data for the symbol after this process, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know the market is unsupported rather than quietly plotting nonsense. How the Z score is computed Once the aggregated OI close is available, the indicator computes a rolling Z score over a configurable lookback: Define subject as the aggregated OI close. Compute a rolling mean of this subject with EMA over Z Score Lookback Period . Compute a rolling standard deviation over the same length. Subtract the mean from the current OI and divide by the standard deviation. This gives a raw Z score: oi_z_raw = (subject − mean) ÷ stdDev . Instead of plotting this raw value directly, the script passes it through a smoothing layer: You pick a Smoothing Type and Smoothing Period . Choices include SMA, HMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, linear regression, ALMA, TEMA, and T3. The helper ma function applies the chosen smoother to the raw Z score. The result is oi_z , a smoothed Z score of aggregated open interest. A separate EMA with EMA Period is then applied on oi_z to create a signal line ma that can be used for crossovers and trend reads. Plotting modes The Plotting Type input controls how this Z score is rendered: 1) Line In line mode: The smoothed OI Z score is plotted as a single line using Base Line Color . The EMA overlay is optionally plotted if Show EMA is enabled. This is the cleanest view when you want to treat OI Z like a standard oscillator, watching for zero line crosses, swings, and divergences. 2) Colored Line Colored line mode adds conditional color logic to the Z score: If the Z score is above zero and rising, it is bright green, representing positive and strengthening positioning pressure. If the Z score is above zero and falling, it shifts to a cooler cyan, representing positive but weakening pressure. If the Z score is below zero and falling, it is bright red, representing negative and strengthening pressure (growing net de risking or shorting). If the Z score is below zero and rising, it is dark red, representing negative but recovering pressure. This mapping makes it easy to see not only whether OI is above or below its historical mean, but also whether that deviation is intensifying or fading. 3) Oscillator Oscillator mode turns the Z score into a histogram: The smoothed Z score is plotted as vertical columns around zero. Column colors use the same conditional palette as colored line mode, based on sign and change direction. The histogram base is zero, so bars extend up into positive Z and down into negative Z. Oscillator mode is useful when you care about impulses in positioning, for example sharp jumps into positive Z that coincide with fast builds in leverage, or deep spikes into negative Z that show aggressive flushes. 4) None If you only want reference lines, extreme bands, divergences, or alerts without the base oscillator, you can set plotting to None and keep the rest of the tooling active. The EMA overlay respects plotting mode and only appears when a visible Z score line or histogram is present. Reference lines and standard deviation levels The Select Reference Lines input offers two styles: Standard Deviation Levels Plots small markers at zero. Draws thin horizontal lines at +1, +2, −1 and −2 Z. Acts like a classic Z score ladder, zero as mean, ±1 as normal band, ±2 as outer band. This mode is ideal if you want a textbook statistical framing, using ±1 and ±2 sigma as standard levels for "normal" versus "extended" positioning. Extreme Bands Extreme bands build on the same ±1 and ±2 lines, then add: Upper outer band between +3 and +4 Z. Lower outer band between −3 and −4 Z. Dynamic fill colors inside these bands: If the Z score is positive, the upper band fill turns red with an alpha that scales with the magnitude of |Z|, capped at a chosen max strength. Stronger deviations towards +4 produce more opaque red fills. If the Z score is negative, the lower band fill turns green with the same adaptive alpha logic, highlighting deep negative deviations. Opposite side bands remain a faint neutral white when not in use, so they still provide structural context without shouting. This creates a visual "danger zone" for position crowding. When the Z score enters these outer bands, open interest is many standard deviations away from its mean and you are dealing with rare but highly loaded positioning states. Z score as a positioning pressure gauge Because this is a Z score of aggregated open interest, it measures how unusual current positioning is relative to its own recent history, not just whether OI is rising or falling: Z near zero means total OI is roughly in line with normal conditions for your lookback window. Positive Z means OI is above its recent mean. The further above zero, the more "crowded" or extended positioning is. Negative Z means OI is below its recent mean. Deep negatives often mark post flush environments where leverage has been cleared and the market is under positioned. The smoothing options help control how much noise you want in the signal: Short Z score lookback and short smoothing will react quickly, suited for short term traders watching intraday positioning shocks. Longer Z score lookback with smoother MA types (EMA, RMA, T3) give a slower, more structural view of where the crowd sits over days to weeks. Divergences between price and OI Z The indicator includes automatic divergence detection on the Z score versus price, using pivot highs and lows: You configure Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right to control swing sensitivity. Pivots are detected on the OI Z series. For each eligible pivot, the script compares OI Z and price at the last two pivots. It looks for four patterns: Regular Bullish – price makes a lower low, OI Z makes a higher low. This can indicate selling exhaustion in positioning even as price washes out. These are marked with a line and a label "ℝ" below the oscillator, in the bullish color. Hidden Bullish – price makes a higher low, OI Z makes a lower low. This suggests continuation potential where price holds up while positioning resets. Marked with "ℍ" in the bullish color. Regular Bearish – price makes a higher high, OI Z makes a lower high. This is a classic warning sign of trend exhaustion, where price pushes higher while OI Z fails to confirm. Marked with "ℝ" in the bearish color. Hidden Bearish – price makes a lower high, OI Z makes a higher high. This is often seen in pullbacks within downtrends, where price retraces but positioning stretches again in the direction of the prevailing move. Marked with "ℍ" in the bearish color. Each divergence type can be toggled globally via Show Detected Divergences . Internally, the script restricts how far back it will connect pivots, so you do not get stray signals linking very old structures to current bars. Trading applications Crowding and squeeze risk Z scores are a natural way to talk about crowding: High positive Z in aggregated OI means the market is running high leverage compared to its own norm. If price is also extended, the risk of a squeeze or sharp unwind rises. Deep negative Z means leverage has been cleaned out. While it can be painful to sit through, this environment often sets up cleaner new trends, since there is less one sided positioning to unwind. The extreme bands at ±3 to ±4 highlight the rare states where crowding is most intense. You can treat these events as regime markers rather than day to day noise. Trend confirmation and fade selection Combine Z score with price and trend: Bull trends with positive and rising Z are supported by fresh leverage, usually more persistent. Bull trends with flat or falling Z while price keeps grinding up can be more fragile. Divergences and extreme bands can help identify which edges you do not want to fade and which you might. In downtrends, deep negative Z that stays pinned can mean persistent de risking. Once the Z score starts to mean revert back toward zero, it can mark the early stages of stabilization. Event and liquidation context Around major events, you often see: Rapid spikes in Z as traders rush to position. Reversal and overshoot as liquidations and forced de risking clear the book. A move from positive extremes through zero into negative extremes as the market transitions from crowded to under exposed. The Z score makes that path obvious, especially in oscillator mode, where you see a block of high positive bars before the crash, then a slab of deep negative bars after the flush. Settings overview Z Score group Plotting Type – None, Line, Colored Line, Oscillator. Z Score Lookback Period – window used for mean and standard deviation on aggregated OI.

Exchange toggles for Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit. Internally, all enabled exchanges and contract suffixes are aggregated into one synthetic OI series. Alerts included The indicator defines alert conditions for several key events: OI Z Score Positive – Z crosses above zero, aggregated OI moves from below mean to above mean. OI Z Score Negative – Z crosses below zero, aggregated OI moves from above mean to below mean. OI Z Score Enters +2σ – Z enters the +2 band and above, marking extended positive positioning. OI Z Score Enters −2σ – Z enters the −2 band and below, marking extended negative positioning. Tie these into your strategy to be notified when leverage moves from normal to extended states. Notes This indicator does not rely on price based oscillators. It is a statistical lens on cross venue open interest, which makes it a complementary tool rather than a replacement for your existing price or volume signals. Use it to: Quantify how unusual current futures positioning is compared to recent history. Identify crowded leverage phases that can fuel squeezes. Spot structural divergences between price and positioning. Frame risk and opportunity around events and regime shifts. It is not a complete trading system. Combine it with your own entries, exits and risk rules to get the most out of what the Z score is telling you about positioning pressure under the hood of the market.

In-Range Rolling SL In-Range Rolling SL Indicator Guide The In-Range Rolling SL indicator is a dynamic stop-loss system designed for intraday trading that identifies squeeze conditions and trade entry opportunities based on rolling price windows. Core Concept The indicator analyzes the highest high and lowest low over a defined lookback period (default: 2 candles) to establish an "in-range" zone. When price stays within this range without breaking either boundary, it creates a squeeze condition—signaling potential breakout opportunities. Trading Strategy Wait for the Squeeze Setup The most effective approach is to wait for the in-range stop-loss squeeze to form. This occurs when both the long SL (green line) and short SL (red line) are active simultaneously, indicated by the yellow status dot (🟡) in the indicator table. Analyze the wick high/close relationship against the in-range SL while price remains compressed—this setup identifies which side is more likely to break first. Entry Timing and Risk Management Long Entry: Enter when a candle closes above the in-range short SL (red line) without any wick above it. This "perfect breakout candle" confirms bullish momentum. Your entry should be around the region, with your stop-loss placed just below the top of the breakout candle's high. Short Entry: Enter when a candle closes below the in-range long SL (green line). The stop-loss for short trades should be set 34.26 points above your entry for appropriate risk protection. Risk-Reward Considerations If you enter at the low of a breakout candle, expect only 8.26 points of drawdown potential. However, if you accidentally go long and your stop gets hit, you'll experience the full in-range stop-loss distance as your loss. Advanced Techniques Failed Breakout Trap: If a follow-up candle doesn't make a higher high after the initial breakout, consider adding a "winner" for compensation rather than holding for a trap. When your buy-stop sits on top of the breakout candle high, this isn't a valid long trade setup. Flip Trade Opportunity: In-range stop-loss attempts to flip often provide ideal entry points. If the up candle doesn't break the previous low, this validates the long continuation. Long Scalp Trading: A failed long scalp can be traded if you missed the initial market open down-up-down trend. With a stop-loss of 34 points and potential profit exceeding 50 points, this provides favorable risk-reward ratios. Sustained Loss Management: Stop-loss for long positions should target 26 points maximum loss. The indicator automatically invalidates stop-losses when price violates them, keeping your chart clean for the next setup. ------------------------- In-Range Rolling SL Indicator Guide The In-Range Rolling SL indicator is a dynamic stop-loss system designed for intraday trading that identifies squeeze conditions and breakout opportunities based on rolling price windows. How the Indicator Works The indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low over your selected lookback period (default: 2 candles) to establish dynamic support and resistance levels. These levels create an "in-range" zone that adapts as new price action develops. Visual Components Green Line (Long SL): The rolling window's lowest low - your stop-loss level for long positions Red Line (Short SL): The rolling window's highest high - your stop-loss level for short positions Status Indicators: 🟡 Yellow: Squeeze condition (both SLs active) 🟢 Green: Long-only setup 🔴 Red: Short-only setup ⚪ White: Neutral (no active SLs) The Squeeze Setup Strategy Step 1: Wait for the Squeeze The most effective way to use the In-Range Rolling SL is to wait for the in-range stop-loss squeeze to form. During the squeeze, both the green and red lines are active, meaning price has stayed within the rolling window without breaking either boundary. This compression phase indicates that it's "go time" to prepare your trade. While in the squeeze, analyze the wick high/close relationship against the in-range SL levels. This analysis helps you determine which side is more likely to split when the breakout occurs. Step 2: Identify the Perfect Breakout Long Breakout: A perfect breakout candle should close above the in-range stop-loss high (red line) without any wick above it. This clean breakout demonstrates strong momentum and reduces the risk of a false breakout. Short Breakout: Look for a candle that closes below the in-range SL low (green line), indicating a short-side trade is coming up. Step 3: Entry Execution Long Entry: Your entry should be around the region of the breakout. Position your stop-loss just below the top of the breakout candle's high. This placement protects you from failed breakouts while giving the trade room to develop. Short Entry: Enter as the candle closes below the in-range SL low. The stop-loss for short-side trades is typically 34.26 points of potential loss based on the indicator's measurements. Risk-Reward Analysis Entry at Breakout Low If you enter here at the low of the breakout candle, you're looking at only 8.26 points of drawdown potential. This represents your best-case entry scenario. Accidental Wrong-Side Entry However, if you accidentally go long here and your stop gets hit, you'll experience the full in-range stop-loss distance as your loss. This emphasizes the importance of waiting for clear breakout confirmation. Long Scalp Opportunity A failed long scalp can be traded here if you missed the market open down-up-down trend. With a stop-loss of 34 points and potential profit greater than 50 points, this setup offers a favorable risk-reward ratio of approximately 1:1.5. Advanced Trade Management Failed Breakout Recognition Follow-Up Candle Validation: If a follow-up candle did not make a higher high than the breakout candle, this could be a trap. Your buy-stop on top of the breakout candle high is not a valid long trade setup in this scenario. Consider adding a "winner" for compensation rather than holding through the potential reversal. Flip Trade Opportunities In-range stop-loss tries to flip to the other side often provide excellent entries. If the up candle did not break the previous low, this validates the long continuation and suggests the squeeze is resolving to the upside. Sustained Position Management Stop-Loss Guidelines: Stop-loss for long positions should be 26 points of maximum loss. The indicator table displays the delta (Δ) showing your real-time distance to the active stop-loss, helping you manage risk dynamically. Entry Timing: Your entry should be around the region where the breakout confirms, rather than chasing price after a large move. In order to prepare your trade, position your stop-loss on top of the breakout candle's high for long trades. Practical Example from the Chart Looking at the MNQ1! chart, you can see multiple squeeze formations throughout the session. The most notable sequence shows: An initial downtrend creating a squeeze setup A perfect breakout candle closing above the red line without upper wick The subsequent candle validating the move Later, a failed breakout attempt that created a short opportunity Multiple flip attempts that provided re-entry points for scalpers The indicator's table in the top-right continuously updates with the current SL levels, gap size, candle size, and delta values - giving you all the information needed to assess each trade's risk-reward profile in real-time.

CISD Trend Candle + MACD SignalThis custom TradingView indicator combines trend-based candle coloring with MACD reversal detection to generate clear entry and exit signals: 🔷 Blue triangle (Buy): Appears when the candles confirm an uptrend (e.g., 5 consecutive closes above 21 EMA) and no long position is currently held. 🔴 Red triangle (Sell): Appears when the candles confirm a downtrend (e.g., 5 consecutive closes below 21 EMA) and no short position is currently held. ⚪ Gray triangle (Exit): If in a long position, it shows when the candle turns neutral (gray) and the MACD crosses down (bearish signal), or the trend turns red. If in a short position, it shows when the candle turns neutral and the MACD crosses up (bullish signal), or the trend turns blue. 🟠 Orange line: 21-period EMA used for trend validation. This logic prevents premature entries and provides structured exit points, aiming to avoid false signals in choppy markets.

Realtime Position CalculatorRisk management is the single most important factor in trading success. This indicator automates the process of position sizing in real-time based on your account risk and a dynamic technical Stop Loss. It eliminates the need for manual calculations and helps you execute trades faster while adhering to strict risk management rules. How it Works The indicator visually places a Stop Loss line based on recent market structure (Highs/Lows) and instantly calculates the required position size (Contracts/Lots) to match your defined monetary risk. 1. Dynamic Stop Loss : It identifies the highest high (for Shorts) or lowest low (for Longs) over a user-defined lookback period. 2. Position Calculation : It calculates the distance between the current price and the Stop Loss level. 3. Formula : Contract Size = Risk Amount / (Distance * Point Value) 4. Actual vs. Target Risk : Because of the rounding, the script calculates and displays the Actual Risk (e.g., $95) alongside your Target Risk (e.g., $100), so you know exactly what is at stake. Key Features Real-time Calculation : Updates instantly as price moves. Copy Trading Support : Includes an "Account Multiplier" setting. If you trade 10 accounts via a copy trader, set the multiplier to 10. The indicator will show the total contract size needed across all accounts. Point Value Support : Works for Stocks/Crypto (Point Value = 1) and Futures (e.g., ES = 50, NQ = 20). Customizable UI : Toggle specific data on/off in the label (e.g., hide price, show only contracts). Adjustable label offset to keep the chart clean. Settings Guide Trade Direction : Toggle between Long and Short setups. Add the indicator two times and set another for Longs and another for Shorts so you can see both direction at the same time. Risk Amount : Your max risk in currency (e.g., $100). Lookback : How many bars back to look for the SL pivot (e.g., 10 bars). Point Value : Crucial for Futures. Use 1.0 for Crypto/Stocks. Use tick value/point value for futures (e.g., 50 for ES). Account Multiplier : Multiply the position size for multiple accounts. Label Offset : Move the information label to the right to avoid overlapping with price action. Disclaimer This tool is for informational and educational purposes only. Always verify calculations manually before executing trades. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

VCAI RSI Divergence +VCAI RSI Divergence+ is an RSI that shows trend, momentum, and divergence using V-CoresAI colour logic instead of a single white line. What it shows: Yellow RSI line → bullish momentum (RSI above its MA; buy-side pressure in control) Purple RSI line → bearish momentum (RSI below its MA; sell-side pressure in control) Thin blue line → fast RSI moving average that drives the colour flips Dashed 70/30 lines → classic OB/OS zones Background bands → soft purple in OB, soft yellow in OS to mark exhaustion areas How to read it: Yellow & rising → momentum shifting bullish; pullbacks into yellow OS band can be accumulation zones Purple & falling → momentum shifting bearish; pushes into purple OB band can be distribution/sell zones Hard colour flips (yellow ↔ purple) mark trend regime changes, not minor RSI noise Divergence mode (on/off) The divergence engine scans RSI and price pivot structure: Bullish divergence (yellow) → price lower low + RSI higher low Bearish divergence (purple) → price higher high + RSI lower high Lines and tags appear only where a meaningful disagreement between price and RSI exists, giving early context for potential reversals or fade setups. Together, the momentum colours + optional divergence mapping give a far clearer market read than a standard RSI, with zero clutter and no guesswork.
