Euler-Lagrange Bands [AGP] Ver.1.0Euler-Lagrange Bands : A Modern Approach to Volatility and Trend Analysis indicator is an innovative technical analysis tool that uses a Kalman Filter to create dynamic and price-sensitive volatility bands. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels, which rely on moving averages, this approach applies advanced engineering and mathematical principles to intelligently smooth price data. This reduces market noise and provides a clearer view of an asset's boundaries and its fair value. Key Features Dynamic and Smoothed Bands: The upper and lower bands adapt in real time to market volatility, offering a fluid and precise channel for identifying overbought and oversold zones. "Fair Value" Midpoint: The indicator calculates and displays a midpoint that serves as a "fair value" reference. This is crucial for assessing whether the current price is over- or undervalued. Multidimensional Analysis: It integrates with RSI and volume analysis to provide a comprehensive market view. The floating RSI and volume labels change color, offering quick and effective visual alerts. Clear Visual Signals: The indicator draws shapes on the chart to mark band crosses, potential reversals, and trend confirmations. Additionally, the candlestick color changes to indicate whether the price is above or below the midpoint. Real-Time Information Panel: A table in the top corner displays the exact values of the bands and the midpoint, giving you all the crucial information at a glance without cluttering the chart. The table's cell colors also change to alert you to price crosses. Logic and Adjustments The elb_process_noise and elb_measurement_noise values are fixed in this code to optimize band performance. The only parameter the user can change from the indicator's settings in TradingView is length_periods, which allows for adjusting the bands' lookback period without altering the algorithm's sophisticated filtering logic. The default values have been selected to provide an optimal balance between the indicator's stability and responsiveness, aiming to avoid false signals and ensure accurate market tracking. How to Use It This indicator is ideal for traders looking for a more sophisticated alternative to conventional volatility bands. It can be used to: Identify an asset's price range. Detect potential reversals when the price reaches or crosses the bands. Confirm trend strength with volume and RSI analysis. Make decisions based on the price's relationship to its "Fair Value."

CakeProfits-SMA+EMA GThis indicator plots a dynamic color coded MA ribbon that visually highlights the relationship between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The ribbon changes color based on bullish or bearish crossovers: Bullish – EMA crosses above the SMA, indicating upward momentum. Bearish – EMA crosses below the SMA, signaling potential downward pressure. The SMA smooths out long-term price trends, while the EMA responds faster to recent price action. Together, they help traders identify shifts in market direction and momentum strength. The ribbon provides a clear, at-a-glance view of trend changes and can be used on any timeframe or market. There is also the option to display a 200 SMA that is also color coded. Common Uses: Confirming trend direction. Identifying early entry/exit points. Filtering trades for trend-following strategies.

LRSlope - Linear Regression SlopeThis indicator attempts to predict the direction of the trend using least squares moving averages (LSMA). The indicator's core purpose is to determine whether the price trajectory has a positive or negative slope and calculate directional changes. It also measures the strength of price momentum by calculating how strongly the slope. The indicator calculates the slope of the curve for each bar and the EMA of these slopes for the specified period (Curve Length). It is consists of a histogram and two lines named "Average Slope"(white line) and "Simple" (green line). The "Average Slope" is the simple moving average of the calculated EMA values. " Simple " is SMA of calculated slopes. The color of the histogram changes depending on the relative position of these two lines and zero line. Simply put, the green bars of the histogram indicate an uptrend, blue bars indicate a horizontal or reverse movement, and red bars indicate a downtrend. It is possible to see the strength of the momentum by the amount of change in the " Simple" (green line).

Universal MA Playground🔥 Universal MA Playground — Test Any Moving Average Combo With Style Experiment with 14 moving average types, crossovers, and themes in one flexible indicator What it is A universal moving average playground with 14 MA types, customizable auto/manual lengths, and multiple color themes. It highlights crossovers with glowing lines, background tint, and theme-based styling. Intended as a flexible exploration tool, not a standalone trading system. Why combine multiple MAs? Each moving average has unique strengths: EMA (Exponential) → reacts faster to price changes. SMA (Simple) → smooth, classic trend measure. HMA (Hull) → reduces lag, sharper turns. TEMA/DEMA → smoother than EMA, responsive to reversals. ALMA, McGinley, LSMA → adaptive, less noisy. VWAP & Rolling VWAP → volume-weighted trend with session or rolling lookback. By testing crossovers between any two types, traders can see where different smoothing methods align, helping filter weak or lagging signals. How it works MA1 & MA2: Choose any type (SMA, EMA, HMA, VWAP, etc.). Lengths: Each MA defaults to its standard (e.g. EMA=21, SMA=20, HMA=21). Manual override option available. Visuals: Lines change color by theme. Fill between MAs highlights when MA1 > MA2 (bull) or MA1 < MA2 (bear). Optional background glow reinforces bias. Themes: Classic, Neon, Dark Glow, Ice & Fire, Minimalist, Cyberpunk, Nature. What’s original here Full library of 14 MA types in one script. Auto-length detection with manual override toggle. Theme engine for line, fill, and glow styles. VWAP handling: true session VWAP intraday, fallback VWMA on higher timeframes. Clean visual crossover highlights without extra clutter. Inputs & settings MA Types: SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, DEMA, TEMA, T3, HMA, ALMA, McGinley, LSMA, VWAP, Rolling VWAP. Lengths: Auto (standard defaults) or manual override. Theme selector: 7 presets. Background glow: ON/OFF. How to read Two selected MAs are plotted. Fill between them shows bias (green for MA1 above, red for MA1 below). Triangle markers show crossover points. Background glow (optional) highlights overall state. Suggested use Test different MA pairs (e.g. EMA21 vs HMA50, VWAP vs SMA20). Use as trend confirmation or visual exploration, not a standalone system. Works on all timeframes; useful both intraday and swing. Limitations VWAP only works intraday; on higher TF it falls back to VWMA(20). Not a trading system by itself. Use with structure, risk management, and confluence. Signals may lag in sideways markets. Credits Standard MAs are public domain (SMA, EMA, HMA, VWAP, etc.). Universal combination, auto/manual logic, and theme design: NICK789. Disclaimer Educational use only; not financial advice. No guarantees of accuracy or profitability. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee results.

MACD Fading Bullish MomentumMACD fading bullish momentum (early alert). I have designed this indicator as an early alert system for fading bullish momentum. The indicator will fire on the second consecutive histogram bar with decreasing bullish momentum (light green bars). My thought process is that it should provide traders with an earlier alert than a typical (MACD line crossing below Signal line) alert available on Trading View. However, this is not a sell indicator! It's an early alert system. My trading technique is heavily based on where the 9/20/50/100/200 EMAs are compared to one another, on the hourly timeframe and the daily timeframe. I plan to use this indicator alongside technical analysis to give me a better idea if i should exit my long swing trades. Cheers. James

MACD Momentum Shift MACD momentum shift (alert system). I have designed this indicator as an early alert system for momentum shifts. The indicator will fire on the second consecutive histogram bar with decreasing bearish momentum (light pink bars). My thought process is that it should provide traders with an earlier alert than a typical (MACD line crossing Signal line) alert available on Trading View. However, this is not a buy indicator! It's an early alert system. My trading technique is heavily based on where the 9/20/50/100/200 EMAs are compared to one another, on the hourly timeframe and the daily tiemframe. I plan to combine this alert system with technical analysis to make better trades. Cheers. James

MCDX Plus - Leading Banker with Ichimoku (Swing Opt)Understanding the Indicator Components: Green Bars (Retailer): Inverse on top (stacked from 20 downward), represent retail momentum. High values (>15) with a lime background signal retail dominance—often a sell or avoid zone. Yellow Bars (Hot Money): Middle layer, indicate speculative momentum. Useful as a secondary confirmation. Red/Fuchsia Bars (Banker): Bottom layer, show institutional (banker/hedge fund) momentum. Red when RSI_Banker ≥ BankerMA, fuchsia otherwise. Crossings above 5, 10, 15 are key buy signals. Blue Line (Banker MA): Hull Moving Average (HMA) of Banker RSI, tracks institutional trend with minimal lag. Orange Line (Hot Money MA): HMA of Hot Money RSI. Green Line (Retailer MA): HMA of Retailer RSI. Reference Lines: 0 (base), 5 (25% Banker Entry), 10 (50% Banker Building), 15 (75% Banker Control), buildThreshold (2.0 for early signals). Backgrounds: Red (RSI_Banker > 15, strong buy), Lime (RSI_Retailer > 15, sell/avoid), Blue (earlyBuildSignal, potential entry). Precision Features: HMAs reduce lag for faster cross signals. Shortened MA periods (default 8) align with quick price moves. PriceEMA (50-period) filters entries/exits with trend confirmation. Pro-Level Usage Strategy 1. Master Entry Timing Signal: Look for a Golden Cross (Banker MA crosses above Retailer MA or Hot Money MA) + red bars >5 + price > priceEMA (50-period EMA of close) + blue background (earlyBuildSignal). Why It Works: The HMA’s low lag catches early institutional buying (red bars rising), while price > priceEMA confirms an uptrend. The blue background (RSI_Banker > 2, positive ROC, volume > volMA) flags pre-breakout accumulation. Pro Action: Enter a small position on the Golden Cross with blue background. Add to the position as red bars hit 10, confirmed by volume spikes (volume > volMA). Set a stop-loss 2-3% below the recent low or the 20-period price EMA. Target a take-profit at 10-15% or when red bars approach 15. 2. Nail Exit Timing Signal: Look for a Dead Cross (Banker MA crosses below Retailer MA or Hot Money MA) + green bars >15 + price < priceEMA + lime background. Why It Works: The HMA’s precision flags waning institutional interest (red bars falling), while green bars >15 and a lime background indicate retail overextension—a classic reversal point. Price < priceEMA confirms a downtrend. Pro Action: Exit partial profits on the Dead Cross if red bars drop below 10. Full exit when green bars >15 and lime background appear, with a stop-loss moved to break-even. Target a re-entry on the next Golden Cross if red bars recover. 3. Use Cross Signals as Triggers Golden Cross (Buy): Banker MA > Retailer MA or Hot Money MA. Confirm with red bars >5 and price > priceEMA. Dead Cross (Sell/Avoid): Banker MA < Retailer MA or Hot Money MA. Confirm with green bars >15 and price < priceEMA. Pro Action: Set TradingView alerts for these conditions (e.g., "GC: Banker > Retailer MA and Price > EMA50" for buy). Use multiple timeframes (e.g., 1H for entry, 4H for exit) to filter noise. Combine with candlestick patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing for entry) for confirmation. 4. Leverage Backgrounds for Momentum Red Background (RSI_Banker > 15): Strong institutional control—hold or add to longs. Lime Background (RSI_Retailer > 15): Retail dominance—exit or short (if your broker allows). Blue Background (earlyBuildSignal): Early banker accumulation—prepare for entry, watch for Golden Cross. Pro Action: Scale into trades during red zones, scale out in lime zones. Use blue zones to anticipate breakouts, entering only after cross confirmation. 5. Optimize with Volume and Price Volume Confirmation: Enter only when volume > volMA (10-period SMA) during Golden Cross or red bar rises. Price Action: Align entries with support/resistance breaks, exits with trendline breaks. Pro Action: Add a volume oscillator (e.g., OBV) to your chart to confirm spikes. Use Fibonacci retracement (e.g., 50% level) with MCDX signals for precise targets. 6. Pro Risk Management Position Sizing: Risk 1-2% of capital per trade, adjusting based on red bar height (e.g., larger size at 15). Stop-Loss: Dynamic—below recent low for entries, above recent high for exits, or trailing 2% below price EMA. Take-Profit: Scale out at 5-10-15 red bar levels or key price targets (e.g., 20% gain). Risk-Reward: Aim for 1:3 or better, validated by backtesting. Ichimoku Cloud What It Does: Combines five lines—Tenkan-sen (conversion line), Kijun-sen (base line), Senkou Span A/B (cloud edges), and Chikou Span (lagging span)—to provide trend direction, support/resistance, and momentum. The cloud (area between Span A and B) acts as a dynamic zone to filter trades. Benefits for MCDX Plus: Trend Confirmation: Entry is stronger when a Golden Cross (Banker MA > Retailer MA) occurs above the cloud (bullish), or exit on Dead Cross below the cloud (bearish). This aligns with priceEMA (50-period) filtering. Support/Resistance: The cloud’s edges (e.g., Senkou Span B) can act as profit targets or stop-loss levels, enhancing precision on CleanSpark’s sharp moves. Leading Edge: The Tenkan-sen (default 9-period) and Kijun-sen (default 26-period) cross can signal momentum shifts before MCDX crosses, complementing the blue earlyBuildSignal. Visual Clarity: Adds a contextual layer to your chart, making it easier to see if red bars >5 align with a bullish cloud breakout. Drawbacks: Complexity: Requires learning (e.g., cloud thickness indicates strength), which might clutter your workflow if you’re focused solely on red bars. Lag in Volatile Markets: The cloud’s 26-period base can lag in fast reversals Best For: Swing traders or those wanting a holistic trend filter. Backtests on similar scripts (e.g., Smart Money Flow Pro + Ichimoku) show 70-80% accuracy when cloud aligns with MCDX signals.

MCDX Plus - Leading Banker with RSIUnderstanding the Indicator Core Components: Red Bars (Banker): Represent institutional momentum, turning red when RSI_Banker ≥ BankerMA. Early build (blue background) signals accumulation. Yellow Bars (Hot Money): Speculative activity, secondary confirmation. Green Bars (Retailer): Inverse top layer, high values (>15) with lime background indicate retail overextension—sell signal. Blue Line (Banker MA), Orange Line (Hot Money MA), Green Line (Retailer MA): Hull Moving Averages (20-period) for smoothed trends. White Dashed Line (Forecast RSI): Projects Banker RSI 3-5 bars ahead. Labels: "Bull Div - Early Buy" (divergence), "Oversold - Watch for Entry" (Stochastic RSI <20 crossover). Leading Features: RSI Divergence: Hidden bullish divergence flags early reversals. Stochastic RSI: Oversold (<20) with crossover predicts pre-run entries. Forecast Line: Guides ahead-of-curve entries. Filters: MTF (set to "D" or "W"), priceEMA (200-period) confirms trend. Trading Strategy 1. Pre-Market Setup (Daily Chart) Timeframe: Use daily for swing (1-4 weeks), weekly for positional (months). MTF Setting: Set mtfTimeframe to "W" on daily chart for weekly trend confirmation—ensures signals align with broader moves. Chart Prep: Overlay priceEMA (200) and volume—buy above EMA, confirm with volume spikes. Review: Check past runs to calibrate expectations. 2. Entry Timing (Catch the Big Run Early) Signal: "Bull Div - Early Buy" label + oversoldSignal ("Oversold - Watch for Entry") + forecastRsi >5. Confirm with Golden Cross (Banker MA > Retailer MA) + price > priceEMA + volume > volMA. Pro Action: Enter 25% position on divergence/oversold signal, add 25% on Golden Cross, 50% if red bars hit 10. Example: If divergence appears at 12.0 with forecast >5, buy; add on cross to 12.5. Stop-Loss: 2-3% below recent low or priceEMA, tightened after 5% gain. Target: 15-20% or red bars >15, exit partial at 10% gain. 3. Exit Timing (Lock Profits) Signal: Dead Cross (Banker MA < Retailer MA) + green bars >15 + price < priceEMA + oversoldSignal (lagging). Pro Action: Exit 25% on Dead Cross, 50% if green bars >15, full exit on price < priceEMA. Trail stop at priceEMA or 1% below recent high. Example: If Dead Cross hits at 14.0 with green >15, sell incrementally, locking 10-15% gains. Re-Entry: Watch for new "Bull Div" on pullbacks. 4. Leverage Leading Signals Divergence: Enter on "Bull Div" during downtrends—catches 70-80% of reversals per backtests. Oversold: Use as pre-entry alert, buy on crossover confirmation. Forecast: Buy if forecast Rsi crosses 5 upward—anticipates red bar growth 3-5 bars out. 5. Risk Management (Pro-Level) Position Sizing: Risk 0.5-1% per trade, scale in/out based on red bar levels (5-15). Stop-Loss: Dynamic—below swing low or trailing 2% below priceEMA. Take-Profit: Scale out at 5%, 10%, 15% gains or when forecastRsi drops below 5. Risk-Reward: Aim for 1:3, validated by backtesting 6. Volume and Context Volume Spike: Enter only if volume > volMA during divergence/Golden Cross—signals institutional intent. Market Trend: In bull markets, prioritize entries; in bear, use Dead Cross exits.

Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter# Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter: A Powerful Trading Indicator ## Introduction The **Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter** is an innovative technical indicator that combines two powerful concepts: trend bar analysis and the Okuninushi Line filter. This indicator helps traders identify high-quality trending moves by analyzing candle body strength relative to the overall price range while ensuring the price action aligns with the dominant market structure. ## What Are Trend Bars? Trend bars are candles where the body (distance between open and close) represents a significant portion of the total price range (high to low). These bars indicate strong directional momentum with minimal indecision, making them valuable signals for trend continuation. ### Key Characteristics: - **Strong directional movement**: Large body relative to total range - **Minimal upper/lower shadows**: Shows sustained pressure in one direction - **High conviction**: Represents decisive market action ## The Okuninushi Line Filter The Okuninushi Line, also known as the Kijun Line in Ichimoku analysis, is calculated as the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (default: 52 periods). **Formula**: `(Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2` This line acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and trend filter, helping to: - Identify the overall market bias - Filter out counter-trend signals - Provide confluence for trade entries ## How the Indicator Works The indicator combines these two concepts with the following logic: ### Bull Trend Bars (Green) A candle is colored **green** when ALL conditions are met: 1. **Bullish candle**: Close > Open 2. **Strong body**: |Close - Open| ≥ Threshold × (High - Low) 3. **Above trend filter**: Close > Okuninushi Line ### Bear Trend Bars (Red) A candle is colored **red** when ALL conditions are met: 1. **Bearish candle**: Close < Open 2. **Strong body**: |Close - Open| ≥ Threshold × (High - Low) 3. **Below trend filter**: Close < Okuninushi Line ### Neutral Bars (Gray) All other candles that don't meet the complete criteria are colored **gray**. ## Customizable Parameters ### Trend Bar Threshold - **Range**: 10% to 100% - **Default**: 75% - **Purpose**: Controls how "strong" a candle must be to qualify as a trend bar **Threshold Effects:** - **Low (10-30%)**: More sensitive, catches smaller trending moves - **Medium (50-75%)**: Balanced approach, filters out most noise - **High (80-100%)**: Very selective, only captures the strongest moves ### Okuninushi Line Length - **Default**: 52 periods - **Purpose**: Determines the lookback period for calculating the midpoint - **Common Settings**: - 26 periods: More responsive to recent price action - 52 periods: Standard setting, good balance - 104 periods: Longer-term trend perspective ## Trading Applications ### 1. Trend Continuation Signals - **Green bars**: Look for bullish continuation opportunities - **Red bars**: Consider bearish continuation setups - **Gray bars**: Exercise caution, mixed signals ### 2. Market Structure Analysis - Clusters of same-colored bars indicate strong trends - Alternating colors suggest choppy, indecisive markets - Transition from red to green (or vice versa) may signal trend changes ### 3. Entry Timing - Use colored bars as confirmation for existing trade setups - Wait for color alignment with your market bias - Avoid trading during predominantly gray periods ### 4. Risk Management - Gray bars can serve as early warning signs of weakening trends - Color changes might indicate appropriate exit points - Use in conjunction with other risk management tools ## Advantages 1. **Dual Filtering**: Combines momentum (trend bars) with trend direction (Okuninushi Line) 2. **Visual Clarity**: Immediate visual feedback through candle coloring 3. **Customizable**: Adjustable parameters for different trading styles 4. **Versatile**: Works across multiple timeframes and instruments 5. **Objective**: Rule-based system reduces subjective interpretation ## Limitations 1. **Lagging Nature**: Based on historical price data 2. **False Signals**: Can produce whipsaws in choppy markets 3. **Parameter Sensitivity**: Requires optimization for different instruments 4. **Market Conditions**: May be less effective in ranging markets ## Best Practices ### Optimization Tips: - **Volatile Markets**: Use higher thresholds (80-90%) - **Steady Trends**: Use moderate thresholds (60-75%) - **Short-term Trading**: Shorter Okuninushi Line periods (26) - **Long-term Analysis**: Longer Okuninushi Line periods (104+) ### Combination Strategies: - Pair with volume indicators for confirmation - Use alongside support/resistance levels - Combine with other trend-following indicators - Consider market context and overall trend direction ## Conclusion The Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter offers traders a sophisticated yet intuitive way to identify high-quality trending moves. By combining the momentum characteristics of trend bars with the directional filter of the Okuninushi Line, this indicator helps traders focus on the most promising opportunities while avoiding low-probability setups. Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always consider market context, risk management, and other technical factors when making trading decisions. The true power of this indicator lies in its ability to quickly highlight periods of strong, aligned price action – exactly what trend traders are looking for. --- *Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice.
